Abstract

A method for a person of interest (POI) monitoring system including generating a POI data structure, wherein the POI data structure includes an identifier of an individual to be monitored as a POI, causing the POI data structure to include an indication of one or more recipients to be notified upon detection of the individual, receive, from a security device, security data that describes an interaction of the individual with the security device, the security data including the identifier of the individual, determining whether the received identifier matches the identifier of the POI data structure, and causing one or more user devices associated with the one or more recipients to display a GUI notification in response to the received identifier matching the identifier of the POI data structure.

Claims

1. A method for a person of interest (POI) monitoring system, the method comprising:

generating a POI data structure, wherein the POI data structure comprises an identifier of an individual to be monitored as a POI;

causing the POI data structure to include an indication of one or more recipients to be notified upon detection of the individual;

receive, from a security device, security data that describes an interaction of the individual with the security device, the security data comprising the identifier of the individual;

determining whether the received identifier matches the identifier of the POI data structure; and

causing one or more user devices associated with the one or more recipients to display a GUI notification in response to the received identifier matching the identifier of the POI data structure.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the POI data structure further comprises:

receiving, from a setup device, the POI data structure;

generating a POI identifier for the POI data structure;

receiving, from the setup device, POI information, POI tags, and POI restrictions; and

storing the POI data structure with the POI identifier, the POI information, the POI tags, and the POI restrictions.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the received identifier matches the identifier of the POI data structure further comprises:

receiving, from the security device, a location and an identifier associated with a monitored individual;

searching a plurality of POI data structures with the identifier of the monitored individual;

verifying, based on the search, whether the monitored individual is a POI; and

determining, based on the location associated with the monitored individual, whether a POI alarm exists.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein each of the plurality of POI data structures further comprise one or more restricted areas and wherein the location is associated with the one or more restricted areas.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the security data further comprises facial recognition data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the security data further comprises license plate recognition data.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the GUI notification is an email message.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the GUI notification is an alarm in an alarm interface.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the POI data structure further comprises a response procedure describing one or more actions for the one or more recipients to take upon receiving the GUI notification.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the security device is an access control device, and wherein the interaction of the individual with the security device includes the individual presenting an identifier (ID) card to the access control device.

11. A person of interest (POI) monitoring system, comprising:

a POI database storing a plurality of POI identifiers, each associated with an individual, wherein each of the POI identifiers is associated with one or more recipients to be notified upon detection of the individual;

a processing circuit having at least one processor and memory, the memory storing instructions thereon, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processing circuit to;

receive, from a security device, security data that describes an interaction of a monitored person with the security device, the security data comprising an identifier associated with the monitored person;

determine whether the received identifier matches any of the plurality of POI identifiers; and

in response to determining a match, cause one or more user devices associated with the one or more recipients associated with the matching POI identifier to display a GUI notification.

12. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein the POI database is configured to:

receive, from a setup device, a POI data structure;

generate, a new POI identifier for the POI data structure;

receive, from the setup device, POI information, POI tags, and POI restrictions; and

store the POI data structure with the POI identifier, POI information, POI tags, and POI restrictions.

13. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, the memory further having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by the at least one processor cause, the processing circuit to:

receive, from the security device, a location associated with the monitored person; and

verify, based on the location, that a POI alarm exists.

14. The POI monitoring system of claim 13, wherein each of the POI identifiers in the POI database are further associated with one or more restricted areas, and wherein the location is associated with the one or more restricted areas.

15. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein the security data further comprises facial recognition data.

16. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein the security data further comprises license plate recognition data.

17. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein the GUI notification is an email message.

18. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein the GUI notification is an alarm in an alarm interface.

19. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein each of the plurality of POI identifiers in the POI database are further associated with a response procedure describing one or more actions for the one or more recipients to take upon receiving the GUI notification.

20. The POI monitoring system of claim 11, wherein the security device is an access control device, and wherein the interaction of the monitored person with the security device includes the monitored person presenting an identifier (ID) card to the access control device.
