Abstract
Various embodiments monitor compliance with standards for conducting rounds within corrections facilities and assist in maintaining safe corrections facilities by identifying predictable rounds patterns and encouraging inmate monitoring through unpredictable rounds timing. Some embodiments generate scores indicative of randomness in conducting rounds by individuals, groups, and even an entire staff of corrections officers.

A method comprising:
- scanning, over time and by a ruggedized mobile device, wall mounted radio frequency identity (RFID) chips as the ruggedized mobile device passes the wall mounted RFID chips in a correctional facility;
- storing, in a database, respective log entries including a timestamp indicating a time at which the ruggedized mobile device passed a wall mounted RFID chip of the wall mounted RFID chips, an officer identity associated with the ruggedized mobile device, and a location in the correctional facility associated with the wall mounted RFID chip;
- retrieving, by a computer and from the database, the log entries, for a given period;
- grouping, by the computer, the log entries by discrete time dimensions with each dimension representing a time period resulting in grouped rounds data;
- filtering, by the computer, the grouped rounds data by at least one of location, a date range, and the officer resulting in filtered rounds data;
- calculating, by the computer, a mean occurrence of rounds for the filtered rounds data;
- calculating, by the computer, a distance from the mean for each of the log entries;
- calculating, based on the distance and by the computer, a dispersion score representative of rounds dispersion equality across the discrete time dimension by the officer;
- determining, by the computer and based on the rounds and the dispersion score, time frames in which the officer will predictably perform an activity;
- providing, by the computer and to the ruggedized mobile device, the dispersion score for presentation within a user interface of the ruggedized mobile device along with a push notification;
- and
- causing, by displaying the push notification on the user interface along with a corresponding vibration of the ruggedized mobile device, the officer to (i) refrain from performing the activity at the time frames and (ii) perform the activity at a different time frame.

A system comprising:
- a network interface;
- a display presenting a user interface;
- a database;
- a computer processor;
- a ruggedized mobile device;
- radio frequency identity (RFID) chips wall mounted in a correctional facility;
- and
- a memory device storing instructions executable by the computer processor to perform data processing activities comprising:
- scanning, over time and by the ruggedized mobile device, wall mounted radio frequency identity (RFID) chips as the ruggedized mobile device passes the wall mounted RFID chips in a correctional facility;
- storing, in the database, respective log entries including a timestamp indicating a time at which the ruggedized mobile device passed a wall mounted RFID chip of the wall mounted RFID chips, an officer identity associated with the ruggedized mobile device, and a location in the correctional facility associated with the wall mounted RFID chip;
- retrieving, by the computer processor and from the database, the log entries, for a given period;
- grouping, by the computer processor, the log entries by discrete time dimensions with each dimension representing a time period resulting in grouped rounds data;
- filtering, by the computer processor, the grouped rounds data by at least one of location, a date range, or the officer resulting in filtered rounds data;
- calculating, by the computer processor, a mean occurrence of rounds for the filtered rounds data;
- calculating, by the computer processor, a distance from the mean for each of the log entries;
- calculating, based on the distance and by the computer processor, a dispersion score representative of rounds dispersion equality across the discrete time dimension by the officer;

- providing, by the computer processor and to the ruggedized mobile device, the dispersion score for presentation within a user interface of the ruggedized mobile device along with a push notification;
- and
- causing, by displaying the push notification on the user interface along with a corresponding vibration of the ruggedized mobile device, the officer to (i) refrain from performing the activity at the time frames and (ii) perform the activity at a different time frame.
