System for providing real time locating and gas exposure monitoring
First Claim
1. A method for providing real time locating and lack of motion monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an interface, an alarm data item from a mobile sensor device worn by a first user in a work area, the alarm data item associated with the first user remaining motionless for a first predetermined time interval and the first user not pressing a cancel button operatively connected to the mobile sensor device within a second predetermined time interval after the first predetermined time interval;
identifying, by a processor, a location of the first user in the work area based on a location identifier of the mobile sensor device;
identifying, by the processor, a second user located within a predetermined proximity of the location of the first user; and
transmitting, by the interface, for receipt by a communication device of the second user, an indication of the alarm data item received from the first user and the location of the first user in the work area.

Abstract
A system and method for gas exposure monitoring of a work area are described. The system may include components that receive an alarm data item from a sensor device. The alarm data item may be generated in response to a first user being exposed to a gas concentration measured by the sensor device. A processor may receive a location of the sensor device in the work area based on a location identifier of the sensor device. A second user located within a predetermined vicinity of the sensor device may be identified. The second user may be identified by the processor. The system may transmit an indication of the alarm data item received from the first user and the location of the sensor device in the work area to the second user. The transmission may be automatic on detection of the second user'"'"'s location.

9. A gas detection and locating device, comprising:
-
a gas detector for monitoring an amount of a gas within a proximity of the gas detector, wherein the gas detector generates a gas data item corresponding to the amount of the gas; a location device operatively connected to the gas detector, wherein the location device generates a location data item for deriving a location of the location device; a motion detector operatively connected to the location device, wherein the motion detector generates a motion detection data item for deriving a lack of motion of the location device; and an interface operatively connected to the gas detector and the location device, the interface being configured wirelessly communicating with a remote server, wherein the interface communicates the motion detection data item and the location data item to the remote server when the location device remains motionless for a first predetermined time interval and a cancel button operatively connected to the gas detector and the location device is not pressed within a second predetermined time interval after the first predetermined time interval. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20)
