Abstract: Disclosed is a system that receives a request for calculation of one or more routes between a user specified starting location and a destination location and retrieve restrictions in a list corresponding to one or more location restrictions imposed on an individual, with each restriction including a restriction area. The system receive calculated routes and restrictions and whether the segments of the routes intersect areas that define the restrictions in the list. The system issues an approval for each route where no segment of the route intersects any of the restriction areas. Also disclosed is tracking of a user according to approved routes.

Abstract: A tracking device and system are described where a location data collector device to receive location data of the tracking device and one or more communication devices that send the location data to a central facility and that receives a defined location package that includes location information where the tracking device is placed in either a suspension or active tracking mode.

Abstract: GPS data can be transmitted from a portable electronic device to a central database using either a cellular network or a satellite RF network. Multiple embodiments are capable of executing tools and techniques that automatically determine the network appropriate for given conditions, maximize GPS data transmission coverage, and minimize cost. Using the described technology, it is possible to detect, differentiate between, and utilize networks according to circumstance.

Abstract: It is possible to enable the secure, efficient, and synchronized transmittal of data between users, eliminate the need for a body-worn transmitting device, and provide access to a variety of resources. In some embodiments, access is provided to real-time status updates and opportunities offered by service providers. Multiple embodiments are capable of executing tools and techniques that promote the reentry of participants into society while reducing costs to legislatures and prioritizing public good.
