Abstract
The personal security and tracking system that enables an individual in distress to initiate an alarm to alert appropriate personnel combined with a locating and tracking system that enables the alerted personnel to monitor the location of the individual in distress. The system comprises a portable signaling unit includes a locating system and a manual trigger switch to provide the priority alarm levels. The central processing station receiving signals from the portable signaling unit to process and analyze the signal of interpreting the geographical location and the priority alarm signal.
Claims48
A personal security and tracking system that provides for an individual to be monitored, the personal security and tracking system comprising:
- a portable signaling unit that provides communication information and that receives communication information, wherein the portable signaling unit includes at least one manual trigger that is capable of being triggered manually to provide one or more priority levels of an alarm signal data;
- a locating system that determines a geographic location of the portable signaling unit;
- a central processing station capable of receiving and interpreting a signal indicative of the geographic location, including a processor capable of interpreting the geographical location of the portable signaling unit, validating the alarm signal data and analyzing the alarm signal data to determine the one or more priority levels of the alarm signal data, and a data structure that stores any of the geographical location, the alarm signal data and the one or more priority levels of the alarm signal data;
- and
- a remote alarm switch unit functionally related to the portable signaling unit, that transmits a periodic signal to the portable signaling unit that does not include alarm signal data when the remote alarm switch unit is in a non-triggered state, and that does include alarm signal data when the remote alarm switch unit is in a triggered state, caused by a triggering condition.
The personal security and tracking system as claimed 1, wherein the triggering condition can be generated by any of unauthorized removal of the remote alarm switch unit from the individual and separation of the portable signaling unit from a proximity of the remote alarm switch.
A personal security and tracking system that provides for an individual to be monitored, the personal security and tracking system comprising:
- a portable signaling unit that provides communication information and that receives communication information;
- a locating system that determines a geographic location of the portable signaling unit, wherein the locating system determines the geographic location of the portable signaling unit via cellular automatic location identification;
- a central processing station capable of receiving and interpreting a signal indicative of the geographic location, including a processor capable of interpreting the geographical location of the portable signaling unit, and a data structure that stores the geographical location;
- and
- a remote alarm switch unit functionally related to the portable signaling unit, that transmits a periodic signal to the portable signaling unit that does not include alarm signal data when the remote alarm switch unit is in a non-triggered state, and that does include alarm signal data when the remote alarm switch unit is in a triggered state, caused by a triggering condition.
A portable signaling unit for use in a personal security and tracking system for monitoring an individual, the portable signaling unit comprising:
- at least one manual trigger that is capable of being triggered manually to provide one or more priority levels of an alarm signal data;
- a communication unit that communicates with a communication system, so that the communication system can determine a geographic location of the portable signaling unit;
- and
- a remote alarm switch unit functionally related to the portable signaling unit, that transmits a periodic signal to the portable signaling unit that does not include any alarm signal data when the remote alarm switch unit is in a non-triggered state, and that does include alarm signal data when the remote alarm switch unit is in a triggered state, caused by a triggering condition.
