Patent number: 11189121Abstract: A person identification device 100 has a tag 110 with a code and a tamper evident tether 120 able to secure the tag 110 to a person having a body. The person identification device also has a signal generator 140 able to generate a signal representing the code. The tag 110 has a capacitive contact 130 able to capacitively couple the signal into the body of the person.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: G4S Monitoring Technologies LimitedInventors: Tom Coggins, John Potter

Patent number: 10741043Abstract: An offender monitoring system has an electronic tag and a monitoring unit. The electronic tag has a tether to secure the electronic tag to an offender and a communication device to communicate with the monitoring unit. The monitoring unit has a communication device to communicate with the electronic tag. The system has a processor which analyses a communication between the electronic tag and the monitoring unit to determine a communication property, such as latency, variability of latency over a plurality of communications and signal strength. The processor determines, based on the measured communication property differing from a historical value, whether the communication between the electronic tag and the monitoring unit has been relayed via an intermediary device in an attempt by the offender to trick the monitoring unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: G4S MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Aled Hughes, Jon Gordon
