Monitoring system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring the vehicular transport of children or other people in need of supervision, the system comprising a processor, a memory associated with the processor, a sensor carried on a transport vehicle, the sensor monitoring a physiological parameter comprising the identity of each child or other person in need of supervision entering and exiting the transport vehicle, the memory storing identity boundary data of each child or other person in need of supervision entering the vehicle, the processor accessing the memory and determining if there are any children or other people in need of supervision remaining on the transport vehicle after a last scheduled drop off.

Abstract
A processor implemented monitoring system includes a sensor coupled to the processor for sampling a physiological parameter of a subject which may comprise a subject unique identification parameter. Also coupled to the processor is a physical location determining device. Subject location as well as parameter status data are input to the processor which is programmed to determine whether the parameter and/or location data falls within prescribed boundaries stored in a memory. Upon determination of an out of boundary condition, e.g. subject entered proscribed geographic area, monitored medical parameter, e.g. blood pressure, out of limit or an unauthorized person attempting to operate a vehicle, etc., the processor transmits information pertaining to the subject, the off limit condition and the specific geographic location of the subject to a central monitoring station for implementation of appropriate action.

5. A system for monitoring the vehicular transport of children or other people in need of supervision on a vehicle, the system comprising a processor, a memory associated with the processor, a location determining device carried on the vehicle, the location determining device generating vehicle location data, a sensor carried on the vehicle, the sensor monitoring a physiological parameter comprising the identity of each child or other person in need of supervision on the vehicle, the memory storing geographic location boundary data pertaining to each child or other person in need of supervision on the vehicle, the processor receiving the vehicle location data and comparing the vehicle location data with the stored location boundary data pertaining to each child or other person in need of supervision, the processor determining when the vehicle is about to enter a designated drop off point for each child or other person in need of supervision, the processor initiating a communication before the vehicle reaches each designated drop off point.
