Various embodiments provide systems and method for monitoring individuals.

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for aiding a monitored individual with monitoring compliance.

Various embodiments provide systems and method for maintaining an exclusion zone data set in relation to monitoring individuals where the maintenance involves both a user attached monitor device and a user detached monitor.

A system for locating and anti-theft protecting an object of interest; said system comprising: (a) at least short-distance communication handheld device; (b) at least one radio-frequency transceiver arrangement placeable in or attachable on said object interest; said radio-frequency transceiver comprising: (i) an electric battery; (ii) a transceiver connectable to said short-distance communication hand-held device; (iii) at least one acceleration sensor of acceleration applied to said object of interest; (iv) a warning indicator; (v) a microcontroller configured for activating said warning indicator in response to pairing said transceiver with said short-distance wireless communication handheld device.

A baby walker comprises sensors and control mechanisms to detect dangerous situations and to stop or substantially slow the baby walker. The baby walker uses proximity sensors, position sensors, presence sensors, and/or communication modules in order to assess the environment for the safety of the child. It also includes a controller that can apply a brake to the wheel assembly to stop or substantially slow the baby walker so as to protect the baby from entering dangerous regions or come in close proximity to objects. The baby walker may further receive and/or transmit information from an external device which may be operated by the child's guardian to define the borders of dangerous regions or a predefined travel distance.

Various embodiments provide systems and method for maintaining an exclusion zone data set in relation to monitoring individuals where the maintenance involves both a user attached monitor device and a user detached monitor.

A loss recognition system including a transceiver which is prepared to send an interrogation signal to a transponder and to receive from the transponder a response signal. A data processing apparatus detects the presence of the response signal and the signal strength thereof and, in the absence of the response signal or in the case of undershooting of the signal strength of the response signal below a predetermined threshold value, automatically outputting an activation pulse for activating an alarm transmitter associated with the response signal. The transponder is associated with a predetermined object of value and is attached thereto in a use state. An alarm transmitter is provided on the transceiver and/or on the object of value associated with the respective transponder. At least one alarm transmitter is activated by a self-latching circuit which is activated as soon as an activation pulse associated with the alarm transmitter is output.

A wireless asset location tracking system and related techniques are disclosed. The system may include one or more beacon tags and one or more micro-zone (mZone) transmitters disposed at designated locations. A given mZone transmitter may transmit an mZone signal including data pertaining to its identity, and thus location. A given beacon tag receiving the mZone signal may pull mZone identification data therefrom and relay it in its own beacon signal, along with other data. In this manner, a given mZone transmitter may provide information pertaining to the location within the host space of a given beacon tag within its transmission range. The beacon signal may be received by any gateway or reader device within range, and information therefrom may be delivered through the internet to a server database. The information stored at the server database may be accessed to monitor and track tagged assets and control overall system operation.

A ship includes a controller that performs wireless communications with a portable machine possessed by a passenger and a lanyard stop switch. When a lanyard code coupled to the passenger is pulled out, the lanyard stop switch operates to stop an engine of an outboard motor and stop the ship. When the controller detects that the lanyard stop switch operates, that is, detects a possibility that the passenger has fallen overboard, the controller starts wireless communications with the portable machine. The controller determines whether or not a rescue signal needs to be transmitted in accordance with conditions regarding a power density and a frequency of a radio wave of the wireless communications as predetermined conditions for estimating a situation of the passenger.

A system for communicating emergency information to one or more user devices includes a computer for communicating to the one or more user devices (e.g. smartphones). When a situation is encountered (e.g. a shooter, a person with a knife, a fire), the computer communicates with the user devices local to the situation to place them in a secure mode, dimming their displays, quieting the user devices, providing efficient communication tools, and presenting update information regarding the situation such as location of an invader or fire, escape routes. Further, after entering secure mode, audio is captured from the device and used by the computer to determine a location of a gunshot.
