Abstract
A proximity alert system that includes a proximity device having a transmitter adapted to provide a wireless signal, and an alert device having a receiver adapted to receive the wireless signal, a signal processor adapted to analyze the wireless signal and determine a distance between the proximity device and the alert device, a memory adapted to hold a maximum distance value, a processor adapted to compare the distance to the maximum distance value, and an alert module adapted to provide an indication when the distance exceeds the maximum distance value.

A proximity alert system, comprising:
- a proximity device, comprising,
- a transmitter adapted to provide a wireless signal, and
- an alert device, comprising,
- a receiver adapted to receive the wireless signal,
- a signal processor adapted to analyze the wireless signal and determine a distance between the proximity device and the alert device,
- a memory adapted to hold a maximum distance value,
- a processor adapted to compare the distance to the maximum distance value, and
- an alert module adapted to provide an indication when the distance exceeds the maximum distance value.
A proximity alert system, comprising:
- a proximity device, comprising,
- a first transceiver adapted to receive a first wireless signal from an alert device,
- a signal processor adapted to analyze the first wireless signal and determine a distance between the proximity device and the alert device,
- a memory adapted to hold a maximum distance value,
- a processor adapted to compare the distance to the maximum distance value, and
- the first transceiver further adapted to send a second wireless signal to the alert device when the distance exceeds the maximum distance value, and
- the alert device, comprising,
- a second transceiver adapted to receive the second wireless signal from the proximity device and send the first wireless signal to the proximity device,
- an alert module adapted to provide an indication upon receipt of the second wireless signal.
