SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING REAL TIME LOCATING AND GAS EXPOSURE MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method for providing real time locating and gas exposure monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an interface, an alarm data item from a mobile sensor device worn by a first user in a work area, the alarm data associated with the first user being exposed to a gas concentration measured by the mobile sensor device;
identifying, by a processor, a location of the first user in the work area based on a location identifier of the mobile sensor device;
identifying, by the processor, a second user located within a predetermined proximity of the location of the first user; and
transmitting, by the interface, for receipt by a communication device of the second user, an indication of the alarm data item received from the first user and the location of the first user in the work area.

Abstract
A system and method for gas exposure monitoring of a work area are described. The system may include components that receive an alarm data item from a sensor device. The alarm data item may be generated in response to a first user being exposed to a gas concentration measured by the sensor device. A processor may receive a location of the sensor device in the work area based on a location identifier of the sensor device. A second user located within a predetermined vicinity of the sensor device may be identified. The second user may be identified by the processor. The system may transmit an indication of the alarm data item received from the first user and the location of the sensor device in the work area to the second user. The transmission may be automatic on detection of the second user'"'"'s location.

11. A gas detection and locating device, comprising:
-
a gas detector for monitoring an amount of a gas within a proximity of the gas detector, wherein the gas detector generates a gas data item corresponding to the amount of the gas; a location device operatively connected to the gas detector, wherein the location device generates a location data item for deriving a location of the location device; and an interface operatively connected to the gas detector and the location device, the interface for wirelessly communicating with a remote server, wherein the interface communicates the gas data item and the location data item to the remote server when the amount of the gas satisfies a predetermined criteria or the location device remains motionless for a predetermined time interval. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
