Abstract
Method and apparatus for monitoring the status and location of personnel using a remote timer. In some embodiments, a method includes logging in, through a network accessible device, a geo position of a subject to initiate a monitored session associated with the subject. A countdown timer of a remote server is initiated to denote a monitored time interval, the remote server in communication with the network accessible device over a network. A notification is generated and transmitted across the network to a monitoring device responsive to a conclusion of the monitored time interval.
Claims18
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- logging in, through executing a subject application (app) on a network accessible device, a geo position of a subject to initiate a monitored session associated with the subject;
- initiating a countdown timer of a remote server in communication with the network accessible device over a network responsive to the logging in of the subject to denote a monitored time interval of the monitored session;
- and
- generating a notification of a notification server which is communicated over the network to a monitoring device responsive to a conclusion of the monitored time interval;
- generating a map that shows changes in the geo position of the subject during the monitored time interval;
- determining whether the subject has logged out of the subject app to terminate the monitored time interval of the monitored session by an individual other than the subject using a device other than the network accessible device;
- and
- if the subject has logged out of the subject app to terminate the monitored time interval of the monitored session by using an unauthorized personal identification (PID) value which provides a false indication that the subject has logged out of the subject app on the network accessible device, continuing to track changes in the geo position of the subject after the logging out of the subject until such time that the subject reinitializes a new log in session using the subject app on the network accessible device.

A system comprising:
- a network accessible device comprising a memory that stores a subject application (app), and a programmable processor adapted to, upon execution of the subject app, operate to initiate a monitored session of a subject responsive to a user input to log the subject into the subject app;
- a countdown server in communication with the network accessible device over a network and comprising a countdown timer that initiates a monitored time interval responsive to the user input to log the subject into the subject app;
- and
- a notification server in communication with the countdown server which generates a notification which is displayed on a monitor of a monitoring device connected to the network accessible device over the network responsive to a conclusion of the monitored time interval;
- wherein the monitoring device generates a map that shows changes in the geo position of the subject during the monitored time interval,
- determines whether the subject has logged out of the subject app to terminate the monitored time interval of the monitored session by an individual other than the subject using a device other than the network accessible device, and
- if the subject has logged out of the subject app to terminate the monitored time interval of the monitored session by using an unauthorized personal identification (PID) value which provides a false indication that the subject has logged out of the subject app on the network accessible device, continuing to track changes in the geo position of the subject after the logging out of the subject until such time that the subject reinitializes a new log in session using the subject app on the network accessible device.
