Protected zone system
First Claim
1. A system for establishing a protected zone and monitoring interactions therewith, the system comprising:
- a protected zone designator for establishing the protected zone, the protected zone designator configured for placement at a location in which the protected zone is desired, the protected zone designator having a transmitter transmitting one or more signals that establish the protected zone; and
a wearable device separate and distal from the protected zone designator, the wearable device comprising a protected zone recognition component configured to recognize the protected zone and identify pre-defined interaction criteria for the protected zone and configured to be associated with a particular user wearing the wearable device, the protected zone recognition component comprising;
a signal receiver capable of receiving the one or more signals that establish the protected zone;
a processor connected to the signal receiver; and
a recordable medium connected to the processor and storing instructions for the processor;
wherein upon the wearable device entering the protected zone, the protected zone recognition component recognizes the protected zone and identifies the interaction criteria of the protected zone and based on the interaction criteria the wearable device determines and records compliance of the particular individual with the interaction criteria in the recordable medium.

Abstract
A system is provided for establishing a protected zone and monitoring interactions therewith. The system includes a protected zone designator and a wearable device. The protected zone designator establishes the protected zone. The protected zone designator is configured for placement at a location in which the protected zone is desired. The wearable device is separate and distal from the protected zone designator. The wearable device includes a protected zone recognition component configured to recognize the protected zone and identify pre-defined interaction criteria for the protected zone. Upon the wearable device entering the protected zone, the protected zone recognition component recognizes the protected zone and identifies the interaction criteria of the protected zone. Based on the interaction criteria the wearable device determines and records compliance with the interaction criteria.

35. A method of establishing a protected zone and monitoring interactions therewith, the method comprising:
-
a protected zone designator having a transmitter transmitting a signal that defines the protected zone; receiving the signal at a wearable device upon entry of the wearable device into the protected zone, the wearable device being configured to be associated with a particular user wearing the wearable device and having a signal receiver capable of receiving the signal that defines the protected zone; the wearable device identifying predetermined interaction criteria for the protected zone using a processor on the wearable device connected to the signal receiver; and based on the interaction criteria, the wearable device determining and recording compliance of the particular user with the interaction criteria in a recordable medium on the wearable device connected to the processor. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
