DRIVER/PARENT ARRIVAL NOTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF NOTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method of announcing a person'"'"'s arrival, the method comprising:
- providing;
a mobile code carrier;
a code reader operable to identify a code stored on the mobile code carrier when the mobile code carrier is in proximity to the code reader;
a processor communicatively coupled to the code reader;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing a data structure associating the code with a code holder, at least one target, and at least one location where the target is located within a building; and
a plurality of displays each located in one of a plurality of different locations within the building and each communicatively coupled to the processor,identifying the code from the mobile code carrier with the code reader;
searching the data structure with the code and identifying the at least one target and the at least one location where the at least one target is located within the building; and
displaying to one of the plurality of displays at the at least one location within the building a predetermined message uniquely related to the at least one target.

Abstract
A system for providing a user/child with the arrival status of a driver/parent and method therefore includes providing a mobile code carrier, a code reader that identifies a code stored on the code carrier, a processor communicatively coupled to the code reader, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor storing a data base that includes a data structure, and a plurality of displays each communicatively coupled to the processor and located in one of a plurality of disparate locations within a building. The method further includes identifying the code, associating the code with a target and at least one location within the building, and displaying to one of the plurality of displays where the target is located a message indicating that the driver/parent has arrived.

10. A driver/parent identifying system comprising:
-
a mobile code carrier; a code reader operable to identify a code stored on the mobile code carrier when the mobile code carrier is in proximity to the code reader; a processor communicatively coupled to the code reader; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing a data structure associating the code with a code holder, at least one target, and at least one location where the target is located within a building; and a plurality of displays each located in one of a plurality of different locations within the building and each communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein upon receiving from the code reader an identification of the code stored on the mobile code carrier, the processor searches the memory to identify the at least one location where the target is located within the building and causes one of the plurality of displays at the at least one location to display a predetermined message uniquely related to the at least one target. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A driver/parent identifying system comprising:
-
a school building located on a school campus and having at least a first classroom and a second classroom; a first electronic display monitor in the first classroom and a second electronic display monitor in the second classroom; a mobile code carrier coupled to an automobile; a code reader on the school campus and operable to identify a code stored on the mobile code carrier when the mobile code carrier enters the campus; a processor communicatively coupled to the code reader and the first and second display monitors; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing a data structure associating the code with a first student present within the school building, a guardian of the first student present within the school building, and a location where the first student present within the school building is located, wherein upon receiving from the code reader an identification of the code stored on the mobile code carrier, the processor searches the memory to identify the first student present within the building and the location where the first student present within the school building is located and displays a predetermined message on the first display when the first student present within the school building is located in the first classroom and displays the predetermined message on the second display when the first student present within the school building is located in the second classroom. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
