AUTOMATED TRAVEL TRACKING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring travel of one or more users, comprising:
- a computing arrangement coupled via a communication network to one or more communication devices of the one or more users, wherein the computing arrangement is operable to execute one or more software products stored on machine-readable data storage media, wherein the computing arrangement is operable to store one or more travel itineraries of the one or more users, and to send one or more messages to the one or more communication devices of one or more users when implementing their one or more travel itineraries, such that the one or more users respond to the one or more messages by sending one or more corresponding responses from their one or more communication devices, and such that the one or more corresponding responses are checked by the computing arrangement against the one or more travel itineraries to determine whether there arises a deviation therefrom.

Abstract
A system for monitoring travel of users is provided. The system includes a computing arrangement coupled via a communication network to communication devices of the users, the computing arrangement being operable to execute software products stored on machine-readable data storage media. The computing arrangement is operable to store travel itineraries of the users, to send messages to the communication devices of users when implementing their travel itineraries and enable the users to respond to the messages by sending corresponding responses from their communication devices such that the corresponding responses are checked by the computing arrangement against the travel itineraries to determine whether there arises a deviation therefrom.

10. A system for monitoring travel of one or more users, comprising:
a computing arrangement coupled via a communication network to one or more communication devices of the one or more users, the communication devices having a tracking device function, wherein the computing arrangement is operable to execute one or more software products stored on machine-readable data storage media, wherein the computing arrangement is operable to store one or more travel itineraries of the one or more users, and to receive one or more messages from communication devices of one or more users when implementing their one or more travel itineraries, such that the one or more users communication devices automatically update location and status of the one or more users, and such that the location and status are checked by the computing arrangement against the one or more travel itineraries to determine whether there arises a deviation therefrom.

11. A method of using a system for monitoring travel of one or more users, the system including a computing arrangement coupled in communication via a communication network to one or more communication devices of the one or more users, and being operable to execute one or more software products stored on machine-readable data storage media, wherein the method comprises:
-
(a) operating the computing arrangement to store one or more travel itineraries of the one or more users; (b) sending one or more messages to the one or more communication devices of one or more users when implementing their one or more travel itineraries; (c) sending one or more corresponding responses from the one or more communication devices of the one or more users to respond to the one or more messages; and (d) operating the computing arrangement to check the one or more corresponding responses against the one or more travel itineraries to determine whether there arises a deviation therefrom. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
