Offender and victim collision avoidance and advanced warning system
First Claim
1. An offender and victim collision avoidance and advanced warning system employing an offender'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus responsive to a message from a wireless communication system for determining its own spatial coordinates from a Global Positioning System and communicating with an offender'"'"'s body worn device and a central data base, the advanced warning system additionally comprising:
- (a) means in the offender'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus to communicate simultaneously with a victim'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus while communicating with the central data base;
(b) means in the offender'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus to communicate simultaneously with a law enforcement entity and the offender'"'"'s supervisory authority while communicating with the central data base; and
(c) means in the offender'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus for confirming delivery of communications among the offender, the victim, the central data base, the law enforcement entity and the offender'"'"'s supervisory authority.

Abstract
A redundant system is provided for simultaneously notifying a victim about the approach of an offender when a message is sent to a central data base. The system includes multiple communication paths and assured message delivery. The offender'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus is equipped with a memory card that sends and receives data and instruction to/from a central data base. The offender'"'"'s position, determined by a Global Position System, is communicated simultaneously to a victim'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus, to the central data base, law enforcement and the offender'"'"'s supervisory authority. A connectionless oriented analog or digital wireless or circuit switched connection oriented digital or analog wireless signal is employed.

8. An offender and victim collision avoidance and advanced warning system using a tamper resistant offender'"'"'s portable tracking device and an associated tamper resistant body worn device for use in a wireless communications system, the offender'"'"'s portable tracking device determining its own spatial coordinates from a Global Positioning System, conveying its spatial coordinates to an associated portable tracking device and a central data base system, receiving spatial coordinates from the associated portable tracking device, sending messages through wireless digital notification devices, receiving responses from wireless digital notification devices and the offender'"'"'s portable tracking device having
(a) a means to communicate using connectionless oriented analog or digital wireless messages directly and simultaneously with the associated portable tracking device, a digital wireless notification device, a central data base system and a wireline communication network notification device, and (b) a means to communicate using circuit switched connection oriented digital or analog wireless signals with the central data base system.

12. In a method for use with a wireless communication system to determine by spatial coordinates the location of an offender'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus adapted to communicate with the offender'"'"'s body-worn device and a central data base, including the steps of:
-
(a) providing multiple redundant communication paths to the central data base and from the central data base to the offender'"'"'s portable tracking device, and (b) providing simultaneous communication to a victim'"'"'s portable tracking apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
