First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for detecting when a monitored individual or any part of the monitored individual has crossed outside of a designated electronic perimeter, the system comprising:
- one or more 3D camera, motion and sound sensors within a room occupied by a specific individual to be monitored, the one or more 3D camera, motion and sound sensors configured to;
recognize one or more biometric identifiers of the specific individual; and
electronically forward a continuous video feed to a computerized virtual safety rail monitoring system;
wherein the computerized virtual safety rail monitoring system is configured to;
electronically designate virtual safety rails defining a designated electronic perimeter within an area of the room; and
detect whether the specific individual or any part of the specific individual has crossed over the designated electronic perimeter based on 3D information from the continuous video feed received from the one or more 3D camera, motion and sound sensors; and
a centralized monitoring station configured to receive and display the continuous video feed.

15. A system for detecting when a monitored individual or any part of the monitored individual has crossed outside of a designated electronic perimeter, the system comprising:
-
a computerized virtual safety rail monitoring system configured to; electronically receive a continuous video feed of a room occupied by a specific individual to be monitored; electronically recognize one or more biometric identifiers of the specific individual; electronically calibrate virtual safety rails defining a designated electronic perimeter within an area of the room; and detect whether the specific individual or any part of the specific individual has crossed over the designated electronic perimeter based on 3D information from the continuous video feed received from one or more 3D camera, motion and sound sensors; and a centralized monitoring station configured to receive and display the continuous video feed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for detecting when a monitored individual or any part of the monitored individual has crossed outside of a designated electronic perimeter, the system comprising:
-
a computerized virtual safety rail monitoring system configured to; electronically receive a continuous video feed of a room occupied by a specific individual to be monitored; electronically recognize one or more biometric identifiers of the specific individual; electronically calibrate virtual safety rails defining a designated electronic perimeter within an area of the room; and detect whether the specific individual or any part of the specific individual has crossed over the designated electronic perimeter based on 3D information from the continuous video feed received from one or more 3D camera, motion and sound sensors; a centralized monitoring station configured to receive and display the continuous video feed; and a computerized communication system configured to receive an alert from the computerized virtual safety rail monitoring system upon detection that the specific individual or any part of the specific individual has crossed over the designated electronic perimeter, and notify the specific individual, a caregiver, or a designated person.
