System and method for creating and managing a personalized web interface for monitoring location information on individuals and objects using tracking devices

An expanded cellular communication system interface comprising:

• a user dashboard interface module configured to monitor a group of tracking devices in accordance with user selected coverage zones;
• wherein the user selected coverage zones comprise regions associated with one or more mapping areas determined to be at least one of an alert on enter and an alert on exit;
• an alert module configured to generate an alert message in accordance with detecting a breach condition of one or more of the user selected coverage zones;
• and
• an identification module configured to be user selectable to remotely set control variables of an individual or an object associated with a tracking device of the group of tracking devices to partially establish conditions determining if the breach condition of one or more of the user selected coverage zones occurred;
• and
• a graphical tile mapping module for accessing user requested graphical mapping tiles for the group of tracking devices from multiple graphical mapping service providers in accordance with entries in a stored look-up mapping service provider table as to having historically quickest response time based on at least one of variables including time of day or current available Internet Bandwidth and compiling the graphical mapping tiles and user wizard controls from the user dashboard interface module to realize a graphical tile mapping reorientation function that does not require reaccessing the multiple graphical mapping service providers during a user mapping reorientation request.

A coverage zone module to monitor location coordinates comprising:

• a tile mapping module to process a user request for location coordinate information and provide multiple graphical mapping tiles from a mapping tile service provider responsive to the user request;
• wherein the multiple graphical mapping tiles are rotatable and reorientable without the need to re-establish connection after an initial request with the mapping tile service provider;
• at least two user selectable coverage zones to locate a tracking device;
• a user wizard interface to draw the at least two user selectable zones on a mapping display;
• and
• an alert system to automatically poll location coordinates of the tracking device at designated periods and to provide an alert in response to a proximal distance of the location coordinates position to the at least two user selectable zones;
• wherein the alert communicates a user defined message responsive to the proximal distance of the tracking device within or from the at least two user selectable coverage zones.
