Abstract

A method and system of pairing a receiving device to an external communications interface to create an enforceable positive dynamic boundary and geolocation system is disclosed. The method and system utilizes wireless capabilities to interface with an external cellular or satellite device to uniquely integrate mobile static and dynamic boundary enforcement with geolocation capabilities.

Claims

1. An enforceable dynamic boundary system comprising:

a subject protection device configured to be affixed to a subject, the subject protection device having

a location determination module configured to emit a location tracking signal;

an alert module configured to provide an electric alert and an audible alert;

a wireless communication module configured to interface with cellular and satellite systems;

a battery providing power to the subject protection device;

a serial communication device having cellular and satellite receiving and transmitting capabilities; and

a microprocessor controller;

a receiver configured to wirelessly interconnect with the subject protection device from a remote location via the wireless communication module;

a first boundary established wirelessly and remotely by the receiver from a distance within range of a cellular or satellite signal for the protection of the subject; and

a second boundary, different from the first boundary, established wirelessly and remotely by the receiver from a distance within range of a cellular or satellite signal in response to a breach of the first boundary by the subject for the protection of the subject.

2. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 1, wherein the receiver is configured to wirelessly transmit boundary coordinates selected from a group consisting of initial predetermined boundary coordinates, user entered boundary coordinates, predetermined boundary breach coordinates, and user entered boundary breach coordinates, to the subject protection device.

3. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 2, wherein the subject protection device provides continuous and on demand subject location coordinates.

4. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 3, wherein the receiver is configured to adjust boundary coordinates in the event of a boundary breach.

5. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 4, wherein the receiver is configured to interface with one or more subject protection devices.

6. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 5, wherein the location determination module further comprises:

a location perimeter subsystem configured to provide location and tracking;

a location finder subsystem configured to provide on demand location coordinates;

a static geographical boundary subsystem configured to form the boundary coordinates and communicate the boundary coordinates to the alert module; and

,

a dynamically adjustable geometric boundary subsystem configured to form the boundary coordinates and communicate the boundary coordinates to the alert module.

7. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 6, wherein the alert module further comprises:

an electric alert subsystem configured to provide a current in the range of 10 mA to 2.0 mA, inclusive, when the subject protection device interacts with the boundary coordinates;

an audible subsystem configured to provide an audible alarm when the subject protection device interacts with the boundary coordinates; and

a system health subsystem configured to monitor the electric alert subsystem and the audible subsystem.

8. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 7, wherein the serial communication device is a Tx-Rx module.

9. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 8, wherein the wireless communication module interface is Bluetooth enabled.

10. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 9, wherein the receiver is configured to include data relating to the functional status of the subject protection device.

11. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 10, wherein the subject protection device is affixed to a member of a group consisting of a person, a group of people, an animal, a group of animals, an asset and a group of assets.

12. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 7, wherein the receiver is configured to wirelessly and remotely increase current level of the electric alert subsystem.

13. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 1, wherein the receiver is configured to receive coordinates of the subject protection device and establish boundary coordinates based on the received coordinates of the subject protection device.

14. The enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 13, wherein boundary coordinates can be stored on the subject protection device for future use.

15. A method of establishing an enforceable dynamic boundary system comprising:

wirelessly interfacing a receiver with a subject protection device from a remote location, the subject protection device being configured to be affixed to a subject;

determining, by the receiver, the subject protection device location from the remote location point;

wirelessly and remotely establishing, by the receiver, a first boundary from a distance within range of a cellular or satellite signal for the protection of the subject;

wirelessly and remotely establishing, by the receiver, a second boundary, different from the first boundary, from a distance within range of a cellular or satellite signal in response to a breach of the first boundary by the subject for the protection of the subject.

16. The method of establishing the enforceable boundary system of claim 15, wherein the subject protection device comprises:

a location determination module configured to emit a location tracking signal;

an alert module configured to provide an electric alert and an audible alert;

a wireless communication module configured to interface with cellular and satellite systems;

a battery providing power to the subject protection device;

a serial communication device having cellular and satellite receiving and transmitting capabilities; and

a microprocessor controller.

17. The method of establishing the enforceable boundary system of claim 16, wherein the receiver is configured to wirelessly transmit boundary coordinates selected from a group consisting of initial predetermined boundary coordinates, user entered boundary coordinates, predetermined boundary breach coordinates, and user entered boundary breach coordinates, to the subject protection device.

18. The method of establishing the enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 15, wherein the subject protection device provides continuous and on demand subject location coordinates.

19. The method of establishing the enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 18, wherein the receiver is configured to interface with one or more subject protection devices.

20. The method of establishing the enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 19, wherein the wireless communication module interface is Bluetooth enabled.

21. The method of establishing the enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 20, wherein the receiver is configured to include data relating to the status of the subject protection device.

22. The method of establishing the enforceable dynamic boundary system of claim 21, wherein the subject protection device is affixed to a member of a group consisting of a person, a group of people, an animal, a group of animals, an asset and a group of assets.
