PATROLLING METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A patrolling method to be implemented usinga monitoring station,a plurality of transponders that have corresponding patrol information stored therein, anda transceiver unit that includes a sensor module capable of retrieving the patrol information from the transponders, a first transceiver module capable of forwarding retrieved patrol information to the monitoring station, and a second transceiver module capable of determining a current geographic location of the transceiver unit and forwarding the current geographic location to the monitoring station,said patrolling method comprising the steps of:
- a) installing the transponders at a plurality of sites to be monitored, respectively;
b) providing a patrol guard with the transceiver unit such that the patrol guard is able to use the transceiver unit to detect the transponder installed at one of the sites to be monitored so as to retrieve the patrol information thereof;
c) enabling operation of the transceiver unit to forward the retrieved patrol information to the monitoring station via the first transceiver module; and
d) enabling operation of the transceiver unit to forward the current geographic location thereof to the monitoring station via the second transceiver module.

Abstract
A patrolling method includes the steps of: installing transponders at sites to be monitored, respectively; providing a patrol guard with a transceiver unit such that the patrol guard is able to use the transceiver unit to detect the transponders; enabling operation of the transceiver unit to forward patrol information retrieved from the transponders to a monitoring station; and enabling operation of the transceiver unit to forward a current geographic location thereof to the monitoring station. A patrolling system, which includes the transponders, the transceiver unit and the monitoring station, is also disclosed.
