Abstract

A system for communicating the sobriety of a user that includes a testing device that generates a substance content signal comprising a mouthpiece and a user identification device, wherein the substance content signal comprises at least one substance information, wherein the user identification device generates user identification data in response to a user'"'"'s breath and transmits it from the testing device to a monitoring station, and wherein the testing device further comprises at least one of a LCD screen or a LED; a transceiver unit; a receiving station; and a supervisory monitor.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring the sobriety of a user comprising:

a testing device that generates a substance content signal and comprising a mouthpiece and a user identification device;

wherein the user identification device generates user identification data in response to a user'"'"'s breath and transmits it from the testing device to a monitoring station, and the testing device further comprises at least one of a LCD screen or a light-emitting diode LED, wherein the at least one of the LED or LCD generates and displays at least one randomly generated visible identification indicia which is one of a random number, a random color, and a random color scheme; and

wherein the substance content signal comprises at least one substance information and at least one user identification data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the testing device comprises a user identification module, a breath analysis module, a control module, a cellular module, and a GPS module.

3. A system for communicating the sobriety of a user comprising:

a testing device that generates a substance content signal comprising a mouthpiece and a user identification device, wherein the substance content signal comprises at least one substance information, wherein the user identification device generates user identification data in response to a user'"'"'s breath and transmits it from the testing device to a monitoring station, and wherein the testing device further comprises at least one of a LCD screen or a LED;

a transceiver unit configured to transmit the substance content signal to a receiving station, wherein the receiving station comprises any location, device, or system where the substance content signal is received;

a supervisory monitor; and

wherein the receiving station automatically tests the substance content signal and maintains a history of the test time, result, and the user identification data for each test, and further wherein the receiving station comprises a database and a software for analyzing user identification data to confirm or reject the test results.
