Method and system for automated tracking of persons at remote activities
First Claim
1. A person tracking device comprising:
- a person identification unit for capturing biological data of a person being tracked;
a location determining unit in communication with the person identification unit for capturing location data of the person being tracked; and
a wireless communication unit for communicating the captured biological and location data of the person being tracked to a tracking site.

Abstract
A system for an automated tracking of a person at a remote site comprises a person tracking device to capture data related to biological characteristics and location coordinates of a person being tracked, a Global Positioning System (GPS) database to certify the location coordinates of the person being tracked as communicated by the person tracking device, a personal enrollment center including a master database that stores biological characteristics and records location coordinates of the person being tracked, and a communication network to operably connect the person tracking device, the master database, and the GPS database. The tracking device compares the captured biometric data of the person being tracked with the stored biometric data of registered persons to validate the identity of the person being tracked or to record the captured biometric data of the person being tracked as a non-registered person, and communicates the captured data and location coordinates to update the master database.

6. A system for an automated tracking of a person at a remote site comprising:
-
a person tracking device for capturing data related to biological and location data of a person being tracked;
a Global Positioning System (GPS) database, in communication with the person tracking device, for certifying the location data of the person being tracked;
a personal enrollment center including a master database for storing biological and location data of the person being tracked, the master database in communication with the person tracking device; and
a communication network for operably connecting the person tracking device, the master database, and the GPS database;
wherein the tracking device compares the captured biometric data of the person being tracked with the stored biometric data of registered persons to validate the identity of the person being tracked or to record the captured biometric data of the person being tracked as a non-registered person, and communicates the captured data and location data to the master database. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20)

17. A method for an automated tracking of persons at remote sites, the method comprising:
-
establishing a wireless network by providing a person tracking device at a remote site, the person tracking device comprising a biometric reader, a GPS receiver, a data recording module, and a transceiver in wireless communication with the network, and the network further comprising a GPS database and a personal enrollment center including a master database;
storing personal, picture and biometric data of registered persons in the master database;
capturing biometric data of a person being tracked via the biometric reader;
capturing location data of the person being tracked via the GPS receiver;
identifying the tracked person via a validation of the captured biometric data against pre-stored biometric data in the data recording module; and
communicating the captured biometric data and location data to update a tracking module associated with the master database or to record the captured biometric data of the person being tracked as a non-registered person within a personnel setup module.
