Method to automatically monitor a person using a cellular telephone, server and cellular telephone implementing this method
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a person carrying a cellular telephone through a communication network wherein:
- An expected path for the monitored person is determined by identifying a sequence of successive places or checkpoints, and A real path followed by the monitored person is detected and compared with the expected path, both in space and in sequence, so that An alert is sent to at least one individual, called alertee, through the communication network when the real path differs from the expected path in place, sequence or in both place and sequence.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for monitoring a person carrying a cellular telephone through a communication network wherein: An expected path for the monitored person is determined by identifying a sequence of successive places or checkpoints, and A real path followed by the monitored person is detected and compared with the expected path, both in space and in sequence, so that An alert is sent to at least one individual, called alertee, through the communication network when the real path differs from the expected path in place, sequence or in both place and sequence. The invention also relates to a cellular telephone and a server implementing such method.

26. A cellular telephone for communicating through a network wherein it comprises a processor to operate at least one of the following operations:
- to acquire an expected path determined by identifying a sequence of successive places or checkpoints, to detect a real path followed by the monitored person carrying the cellular telephone, to compare the real path with the expected path, both in space and in sequence, to send an alert to at least one individual, called alertee, through the communication network when the real path differs from the expected path in place, sequence or in both place and sequence.

27. A server of a communication network wherein it comprises a processor to operate at least one of the following operations:
- to acquire an expected path determined by identifying a sequence of successive places or checkpoints, to detect a real path followed by the monitored person carrying the cellular telephone, to compare the real path with the expected path, both in space and in sequence, to send an alert to at least one individual, called alertee, through the communication network when the real path differs from the expected path in place, sequence or in both place and sequence.
