Electronic monitoring device and monitoring system including same
First Claim
1. An electronic monitoring device to be attached to a subject for monitoring, at a remote location, movements and/or other activities of the subject, comprising:
- a housing attachable to the subject, and a closure member to secure the housing to the subject;
said housing including electronic circuitry for receiving, processing, and transmitting to said remote location, data regarding the activities of the subject;
said closure member including an identification tag having a unique identification number stored therein;
said electronic circuitry including a data processor programmed to read and store said identification number from the tag when the closure member is applied to secure the housing to the subject, and periodically thereafter, to read the identification number of the closure member in the monitoring device attached to the subject, and to make a determination of whether a change has occured between the read identification number and the stored identification number, and to transmit to said remote location an identification signal corresponding to such determination.

Abstract
An electronic monitoring device to be attached to a subject for monitoring, at a remote location, movement and/or other activities of the subject, includes a closure member incorporating an identification tag having a unique identification number stored therein. The monitoring device further includes an electronic data processor programmed to read and store the identification number of the electronic tag when the closure member is applied, and periodically thereafter, to make a determination of whether a closure member is currently attached to the subject having an identification number matching the stored identification number, and to transmit to the remote location an identification signal corresponding to such determination.

11. An electrical monitoring device to be attached to a subject for monitoring, at a remote location, movements and/or other activities of the subject, comprising:
-
a housing attachable to the subject by another member; said housing including an electrical data processor and a transmitter for receiving, processing, and transmitting to said remote location, data regarding the activities of the subject; said another member including an electronic identification tag having a unique identification number stored therein; said data processor being programmed to read and store said identification number from the tag whenever said another member is applied to the device to attach same to the subject, and periodically thereafter to read the identification number of the another number in the monitoring device attached to the subject, and to make a determination of whether a change has occurred between the read identification number of the monitoring device attached to the subject, and the stored identification number, and to transmit an identification signal corresponding to such determination. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
