Task and personnel verification and tracking system and method
First Claim
1. A method for providing services to distributed sites, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a request for a service;
(b) establishing on a relational database an account associated with the request;
(c) assigning an individual provider to perform the service at a site, and entering first information, about the individual provider and the service, into the relational database;
(d) providing, to a carryable computer associated with the individual provider, second information, associated with the site, and third information, required to render the service, the carryable computer having means for sensing the location of the individual provider carrying the carryable computer and having means for sensing a biometric property of the individual provider;
(e) causing the carryable computer to store date and/or time data when the individual provider arrives at the site;
(f) causing the carryable computer to store the second information associated with the site and/or the third information required to render the service, when the assigned individual provider activates the biometric property sensing means, the carryable computer storing identification information associated with the individual provider'"'"'s activation of the biometric property sensing means;
(g) performing the service at the site;
(h) entering into the carryable computer fourth information, associated with the performed service;
(i) causing the carryable computer to store fifth information, associated with the identity of the individual provider or with a recipient of the performed service, upon completion of the performed service;
(j) transferring to the relational database the date and/or time data, the identification information, and the fourth information;
(k) determining whether the identification information and the performed service information transferred into the relational database matches data and information previously stored on the relational database; and
(l) updating data and information stored on the relational database.

Abstract
A task and personnel verification and tracking system and method receives a request for service; establishes a database account associated with the request; assigns an individual provider to perform service at a site; enters information about the provider and the service into the database; provides, to a carryable computer, information required to render the service; causes the computer to store provider data; causes the computer to store biometric property sensor information; enters into the computer information associated with service; stores information upon completion of the service; transfers stored data and information to the database; determines whether data and information transferred into the database match those previously stored; and updates data and information stored on the database.

42. A system for providing services at distributed sites, the system comprising:
-
means for generating a request for service;
a relational database having stored therein account information associated with the request for service and having information about an individual service provider and about the service;
means for assigning an individual provider to perform service at a site;
means for providing, to a carryable computer associated with the individual service provider, information about the site and information required to render the service;
combined means for tracking the location of the individual provider, for storing date and/or time data about when the individual service provider arrives, is present at, or leaves a site, for storing information associated with the site, for sensing a biometric property of the individual provider or of the recipient of the services, for activating the biometric property sensing means, for storing information associated with an activation of the biometric property sensing means, for storing information required to render the service upon activation of the biometric property sensing means, for storing information associated with the performed service, for storing information about services previously rendered to the recipient, and for storing information associated with the identity of the individual service provider or the recipient upon completion of the service;
means for transferring into the relational database the date and/or time data, the identification information, and the information associated with the completed service;
means for determining whether the information transferred into the relational database matches information stored therein; and
means for updating information stored in the relational database.
