Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention may include systems and methods for monitoring a person's activities. A system may receive an input (2) and may contact a designated party to ensure they are safe or perhaps even confirm they are at a specified location at a specified time. A system may also provide an escalation response (315) in those circumstances where a primary contact is not reached or perhaps where it is directed by a primary contact. Further, a system may provide communications to a primary contact or a user (203) including a plausible excuse for the primary contact to leave an agenda location.
Claims20
A method of monitoring user activities comprising the steps of:
- receiving user schedule information having an agenda time, primary contact data, and distinct primary contact security verification data;
- automatically calendaring said agenda time associated with said primary contact data;
- automatically contacting a primary contact using said primary contact data at said agenda time through a primary communication device associated with said primary contact;
- receiving a contact communication from said primary communication device associated with said primary contact;
- automatically deciding if said contact communication from said primary communication device complies with said distinct primary contact security verification data;
- calculating a location characteristic of said primary contact at said agenda time based on said contact communication;
- automatically making a system response determination based on said calculated location characteristic and said compliance of said contact communication with said distinct primary contact security verification data;
- and
- mapping said calculated location characteristic representative of a location of said primary contact at said agenda time.
A method of monitoring user activities comprising the steps of:
- receiving an input from a communication device of user schedule information having an agenda time, primary contact data, and distinct primary contact security verification data;
- automatically storing said user schedule information in a computer storage memory component of a computer;
- automatically calendaring said agenda time associated with said user schedule information using a computer microprocessor;
- automatically retrieving said user schedule information at said agenda time;
- automatically contacting a primary contact using said primary contact data at said agenda time through a primary communication device associated with said primary contact;
- automatically providing multiple automated directional response options to said primary communication device at said agenda time;
- receiving a contact communication from said primary communication device associated with said primary contact;
- automatically making a system response determination based on said contact communication;
- automatically storing said contact communication from said primary communication device associated with said primary contact on said computer storage memory component of said computer;
- and
- allowing user retrieval of said user schedule information, said contact communication, and said system response determination.
A method of providing excusable departure from user activities comprising the steps of:
- receiving user schedule information having an agenda time and primary contact data;
- automatically calendaring said agenda time associated with said primary contact data;
- calculating an instruction communication to provide to a primary contact an excuse to leave an agenda location;
- automatically contacting said primary contact at said agenda location using said primary contact data at said agenda time;
- automatically providing said instruction communication to said primary contact;
- automatically directing said primary contact to leave said agenda location;
- automatically receiving a contact communication from said primary contact;
- and
- recording an instruction communicative and a contact communicative relating to said instruction communication and said contact communication.
