An electronic monitoring system is described that receives data from a particular monitoring system, receives data from multiple other monitoring systems, analyzes data received from the particular monitoring system irrespective of data received from the multiple other monitoring systems, based on the analysis, determines whether one or more events occur at the particular environment, and in response to determining that a particular event occurs at the particular environment, evaluates the particular event against a set of rules, selects, based on the evaluation results, a particular subset of the multiple other monitoring systems to serve as a cooperative monitoring network, assesses data received from the particular monitoring system with data received from the particular subset of the multiple other monitoring systems, based on the assessment, tracks, in connection with the particular event, events detected by the particular subset of the multiple other monitoring systems, and handles the particular event based on the tracked events detected by the particular subset of the multiple other monitoring systems.

An object locating, identifying, tracking, and surveillance system, denoted the Assets Locating, Tracking, and Surveillance System (ALTSS), is provided for managing physical objects and evidence in environments such as police departments, law offices, and the Courts. ALTSS employs radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, computer programming and database applications, networking technologies, and hardware elements. ALTSS may locate and track physical evidence, merchandise, information carriers like files, folders or individual pieces of paper, and people, under certain conditions, in near-real time. It may be configured as part of a local area network, a wide area network, or the Internet. ALTSS may employ exemplary components such as RFID transponders, scanners, strategically located antennas and computers to facilitate tracking of objects and people as needed. Any number of users having access privileges and connected to the network may access ALTSS directly or remotely via the Internet to locate and track evidence or objects.

Systems and methods of tracking attributes of objects, including a sensor configured to detect data related to one or more attributes of the object, a tracking device attachable to the object to transmit data detected by the sensor, a software application modifiable by a user, the software application being configured to receive transmitted data from the tracking device, firmware within a chip on the tracking device configured to determine a frequency of data transmissions from the tracking device to the software application based on instructions related to characteristics of transmitted data, and a display configured to show the frequency of data transmissions from the tracking device to the software application.

A facial recognition system and a physiological information generative method are disclosed. The facial recognition system includes a visible light sensor, a thermal imaging sensor, and a processor. The generative method is executed by the processor, using a real-time object detection algorithm. The generative method includes receiving one or more current visible and thermal images, and identifying the nasal area in the current thermal images when a face region in the current visible images is not identifiable by the real-time object detection algorithm in the processor; determining in the processor that respiratory information is abnormal according to the cycles of exhalation and inhalation, as detected through brightness changes in the nostril area; and notifying abnormal respiratory information.

An animal rescue system identifies and rescues a protection target which is an animal, using information from a camera. The animal rescue system includes: a plurality of movable bodies each equipped with a camera; and a server configured to communicate with the plurality of movable bodies. The server is configured to identify a protection target, using information from the camera mounted on each of the plurality of movable bodies. The server is configured, when the protection target is identified, to (a) acquire positional information about each of the plurality of movable bodies and positional information about the protection target, and (b) select, as the protection target moves, a movable body which is to monitor the protection target, from the plurality of movable bodies.

A child safety assembly includes a wristband that is selectively worn around a child's wrist. A lock is movably coupled to the wristband and the lock is selectively manipulated. The lock is selectively positioned in a locked position to retain the wristband on the wrist. The lock is selectively positioned in an unlocked position to facilitate the wristband to be removed from the wrist. An alert unit is coupled to the wristband and the alert unit is in thermal communication with the wristband's environment. The alert unit selectively emits an audible alarm and the alert unit is in wireless electrical communication with an electronic device. The alert unit emits the audible alarm when the alert unit detects a temperature of the wristband's environment falls below or rises above a trigger temperature. In this way the alert unit alerts a caregiver to a potential hazard with respect to the child.

A personal safety device is provided. The device is a wearable device. The device includes a voice recording mechanism and an information download mechanism. The device may also include a voice comparison mechanism, an alert mechanism, a photodetector, a camera and/or a scanner. Method of enabling and using the device is also provided. The device may be used as a personal safety device and as a personnel monitoring device.

An apparatus, including a housing, microphone, speaker, camera, memory or database which stores information regarding a travel schedule or itinerary, global positioning device, controller, and a transmitter. The controller is specially programmed to detect a deviation of the apparatus from the travel schedule or itinerary or to detect an absence of, or a leaving of, the apparatus from an expected location on the travel schedule or itinerary, and, if the controller detects a deviation of the apparatus from the travel schedule or itinerary or detects an absence of, or a leaving of, the apparatus from the expected location on the travel schedule or itinerary, the controller generates a travel route deviation message. The transmitter transmits the travel route deviation message to a first communication device.

Security and tracking systems disclosed herein include a server coupled with a database, a computing device coupled with the database and including a display, and a wearable recording device (device) configured to record audio and video, the device having an identifier associated with the user through the database. One or more user interfaces are displayed on the display and include one or more inputs configured to associate the identifier with the user through the database. The wearable recording device may be an earring. Some security and tracking systems include a tracking device (tracker) having at least one sharp end, the tracker configured to be insertable into a hem or fold of a clothing item, the tracker having an identifier associated with the user through the database using inputs on one or more user interfaces displayed on the display, the tracker including a visual display of the identifier.

A system for locations surveillance by remotely logging surveillance data transmitted by a vehicle when the vehicle's speed is under a threshold value while coming to a halt in close proximity to a surveillance data logger; the system comprising: a first in-vehicle apparatus on-board civilian vehicles; a second in-vehicle apparatus on-board law enforcement vehicles; a surveillance data logger installed at a location; wherein the surveillance data logger is configured to wirelessly communicate with the first in-vehicle apparatus to receive data associated with the vehicle.
