System for the security and auditing of persons and property
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a subject which moves about various geographic locations, the system comprising:
- means for determining the specific geographic location of the subject, a sensor monitoring at least one physiological parameter of the subject, the means for determining location generating a location signal including data representative of the specific geographic location of the subject, the sensor generating a status signal including data representative of the condition of the monitored physiological parameter, a processor, a memory associated with the processor, the memory storing physiological parameter data, the processor being operatively connected to the means for determining location and to the sensor, the processor receiving the location signal and the status signal, the processor accessing the memory and comparing the status signal data with the stored physiological parameter data, the processor determining whether the status signal data lies within a permitted range, the processor generating a signal for initiating corrective action and a signal representative of the specific geographic location of the subject when the status signal data does not lie within the permitted range.

Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring subjects is provided having location determining device which provides the location of the subject to a processor. The processor is configured to monitor location with respect to pre-defined safety or security related limits including geographical boundaries, and to alert concerned individuals so that proper corrective action may be taken. The geographical boundaries may be programmed remotely by authorized personnel via a communication link. Additionally, processor inputs may be coupled to other systems, equipment or sensors in order to monitor operational variables or outputs of the coupled devices indicative or safety or security concerns. Furthermore, processor outputs may be coupled to other systems, equipment, or output devices, in order to actuate the coupled devices. Moreover, the processor has memory to enable storage and retrieval of data generated or received by the processor. Additionally, the device may be configured to provide interactivity with the user to allow user correction of adverse conditions within a designated time period before the recording and or transmission of the adverse conditions for review by a monitoring authority.
