Method & system for notification of a restraining/protective order violation based on predatory patterns
First Claim
1. A system for identifying predatory patterns based on movement and proximity correlations between a predator and a victim, the system comprising:
- a monitoring facility adapted to continuously receive positional information from the predator and the victim for a given time period, the monitoring facility including;
a computer system adapted to identify correlations between position and movement of the predator and the victim and to determine the existence of one or more predatory patterns based upon the correlations; and
signaling means for alerting the victim if the computer system determines the existence of one or more predatory pattern.

Abstract
A method and system relating to a restraining or protective order violation scenario where the movements of the restrainee and the movements of the protected person are monitored in order to detect if a predatory pattern is at hand. The movement, velocity, and positioning of the restrainee can be described as a set of patterns with respect to the protected person. The patterns can be determined based upon the distance between the two, and the direction and speed of both the restrainee and the protected person. Depending on the detected pattern, a notification system incorporating the present invention alerts the local law enforcement authorities with a warning or alarm, and/or sends a warning/alarm signal to the protected person if a predatory pattern is detected.
