Abstract
Various embodiments provide systems and method for monitoring individuals.
Claims9
A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:
- the monitoring station including:
- a first communication apparatus configured to communicate with a user detached monitor associated with an individual being monitored via a cellular telephone network;
- a first computer readable medium, the first computer readable medium including instructions executable by a first processor to:
- receive an original check-in schedule for the individual being monitored, wherein the original check-in schedule includes at least a first check-in time and a first check-in window corresponding to the first check-in time, and a second check-in time and a second check-in window corresponding to a second check-in time;
- identify an internal conflict within the original check-in schedule, wherein the conflict occurs where an end of the first check-in window is within a defined time period of a beginning of the second check-in window;
- and
- modify the original check-in schedule by performing at least one of the following functions to yield an implemented check-in schedule:
- removing one of the first check-in time or the second check-in time from the check-in schedule;
- reducing the check-in window of the first check-in time in the check-in schedule;
- or
- reducing the check-in window of the second check-in time in the check-in schedule;
- and
- uploading at least the portion of the implemented check-in schedule to the user detached monitor;
- and
- the user detached monitor, the user detached monitor including:
- a location determination circuit configured to generate a location of the user detached monitor device;
- a sensor configured to receive input from the individual being monitored;
- a second communication apparatus operable to receive at least a portion of an implemented check-in schedule from the monitoring station via the cellular telephone network;
- a second computer readable medium including instructions executable by the second processor to:
- alert the individual being monitored of a check-in requirement in accordance with the portion of the implemented check-in schedule;
- receive input from the sensor;
- upload the input received from the sensor to the monitoring station as check-in information;
- and
- transmit a biometric information received from a user attached monitor device to the monitoring station along with the location of the user detached monitor device.

A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:
- a user detached monitor associated with an individual being monitored, wherein the user detached monitor includes:
- a location determination circuit configured to generate a location of the user detached monitor device;
- a sensor configured to receive input from the individual being monitored;
- a communication apparatus operable to receive at least a portion of an implemented check-in schedule from a monitoring station via a wireless communication network, wherein the implemented check-in schedule includes:
- at least one check-in window and a corresponding check-in time, and a check-in instruction indicating the corresponding check-in time and an action to be performed in relation to the sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable medium including instructions executable by the processor to:
- alert the individual being monitored of a check-in requirement in accordance with the portion of the implemented check-in schedule;
- receive input from the sensor;
- upload the input received from the sensor to the monitoring station;
- and
- transmit the location information;
- a user attached monitor including:
- an attachment element configured to attach to a limb of an individual being monitored;
- a tamper sensor configured to indicate removal of the user attached monitor from the individual being monitored;
- a biometric sensor configured to sense a biometric information of the individual
- a communication circuit operable to:
- receive a portion of the implemented check-in schedule including the check-in time corresponding to the conflict;
- and
- provide status to the monitoring station without interaction with the individual being monitored in accordance with the portion of the implemented check-in schedule;
- and
- transmit the biometric information.
