Body worn active and passive tracking device
DCFirst Claim
1. A tamper resistant body-worn tracking device worn on a limb of an offender for use in a wireless communication system receiving signals from a GPS and directly communicating spacial coordinates to multiple remote sites, the body-worn tracking device comprising(a) a sealed enclosed case containing means for implementing tamper detection;
- (b) a main battery enclosed by the case;
(c) a signaling device enclosed by the case;
(d) a means to replace the main battery;
(e) a circuit board enclosed by the case having attached on the circuit board, a wireless data modem, a GPS receiver having a means to acquire updates to a GPS almanac, a matched filtering GPS receiver, an RF front end connected to the GPS receiver and matched filtering GPS receiver and a field programmable gate array; and
(f) the body-worn tracking device in contact with a central station computer containing an algorithm for comparing a current location of the body-worn tracking device to a schedule of rules and location restraints to determine if a static violation has occurred.

Abstract
Tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to be worn by offenders or potential victims for use in a wireless communication system receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS). The tracking device directly communicates spacial coordinates to multiple remote sites. The tracking device is an enclosed case worn on a limb of a person. The case contains a battery, a signaling device, and a circuit board containing a field programmable gate array, a wireless data modem, a conventional GPS receiver, and a matched filtering GPS receiver.

11. A system for determining the spacial coordinates of an offender comprising attaching a tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to a limb of the offender, and sending signals directly from the body-worn tracking device to remote associated notification devices, the body-worn tracking device providing a sealed case containing:
-
(a) a main battery; (b) a signaling device; (c) a circuit board having attached to the board (1) a wireless data modem, (2) a GPS receiver having a means to acquire updates to a GPS almanac, (3) a matched filtering GPS receiver with an RF front end connected to the GPS receiver and matched filtering GPS receiver, and (4) a field programmable gate array; the system including a central station computer in direct communication with the body-worn device, the computer containing an algorithm for comparing a current location of the body-worn tracking device to a schedule of rules and location restraints to determine if a violation has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
