1. A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:
- a user attached monitor device, wherein the user attached monitor device includes;
an attachment element configured to attach to a limb of an individual being monitored;
a location determination circuit operable to generate location data indicating a location of the user attached monitor device;
an exclusion zone violation determination circuit operable to determine whether the individual being monitored is within an exclusion zone;
the user detached monitor device, wherein the user detached monitor device includes;
a computer readable medium including instructions executable by a processor to;
determine a location of the user detached monitor device;
determine whether the individual being monitored is within the exclusion zone; and
transfer control of determining whether the individual is within the exclusion zone from the user attached monitor device to the user detached monitor device.

15. A method for monitoring an individual, the method comprising:
-
providing user attached monitor device, wherein the user attached monitor device is secured to a limb of an individual being monitored, and wherein the user attached monitor device includes; a location determination circuit operable to generate location data indicating a location of the user attached monitor device; an exclusion zone violation determination circuit operable to determine whether the individual being monitored is within an exclusion zone; providing the user detached monitor device communicably coupled to the user attached monitor device via a local communication link; disabling the location determination circuit and the exclusion zone violation determination circuit to reduce power usage by the user attached monitor device; using the user detached monitor device to determine a location of the individual being monitored; and using the user detached monitor device to determine whether the individual monitored moved into the exclusion zone. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
