EMERGENCY CONTROL IN A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SPACE
First Claim
1. A system for permitting a user to control and monitor individuals, vehicles, and other moving entities in a monitored environment, comprising:
- using a geographical zone, wherein the zone includes a plurality of nodes;
sending messages between one or more of the users and one or more control stations;
targeting message communications to at least one user;
arranging the nodes in a multi-dimensional sense; and
affecting a security support system utilizing user location data.

Abstract
A geographical zone, which can be multi-dimensional, such as in three dimensions, can be utilized to regulate the location of a movable user within the geographical zone. A mobile device associated with a user located in a specific area of a geographical zone is in communication at least one node, which is, in turn, in communication with at least one control center. Detailed local information from the location nodes is downloaded. The nodes communicate with each other wirelessly via radio frequency (RF) using Bluetooth™ protocol. Mobile devices interact with location nodes that are in communication range. A messaging system is used to send emergency and security communications to users associated with mobile devices in particular locations.

25. A system in an emergency or security environment for permitting control and monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and other movable entities, these movable entities having communication devices associated with them, comprising:
-
using a map of a multi-dimensional space formed by using a geographical space, the space including a plurality of spaced apart nodes, and the nodes being arranged in a multi-dimensional sense and being in a mesh or other network; and sending data communications between one or more of the nodes and data communications by a wireless protocol between selected one or more movable entities in a selected geographical space. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A system in an emergency or security environment for permitting control and monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and other movable entities, these movable entities having communication devices associated with them, comprising:
-
communicating data between communication nodes and a selected mobile communication device; arranging an array of communication nodes about a multi-dimensional geographical space; enabling one or more different mobile communication devices to be in communication with different communication nodes when the devices are within range of one or more selected nodes; associating the mobile device with the respective nodes such that the mobile device is locatable in the multi-dimensional space; and affecting a security support system utilizing user location data of movable entities and the existence of emergency and security conditions. - View Dependent Claims (32)

33. A system in an emergency or security environment for permitting control and monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and other movable entities, these movable entities having communication devices associated with them, comprising:
-
using a geographical zone, the zone selectively being a pre-configured geographical zone, and the zone including a plurality of nodes; sending messages between one or more of the users and one or more control stations, the message communications being targeted to at least one or multiple users, the nodes being arranged in a multi-dimensional sense, the multi-dimensional sense selectively being a three-dimensional sense in the x, y, and z axes or coordinates; and affecting a security support system utilizing user location data of movable entities and the existence of emergency and security conditions. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
