Abstract: A personal monitoring system and method is provided which includes a monitoring device including a positioning sensor for identifying and storing position data of the monitoring device and a transceiver. A remote computing unit for receiving proximity signals and position data received from the monitoring device at a predetermined interval. The remote computing unit also receives position data from the monitoring device. A central computer for location data collection receives proximity signals and position data from the remote computing unit at a predetermined interval.

Abstract: The present invention provides a portable alcohol tester with biometric and location recordation and transmission. The portable unit may use photo, retina, or fingerprint recordation while the system is testing to ensure the identity of the participant. The unit may also use Wi-Fi stations, cellular towers or global position satellites to identify a location, time, and date for the test and record said information. The unit may be equipped with RF, Wireless, cellular, or Bluetooth™ communications to transmit the test information to a remote data center. The data center is equipped to merge the various different data points received into a coordinated presentation. The test information can be used by criminal justice agencies for recording the time, date, location, biometric ID, and breath alcohol content. The same information could be used for participant monitoring or rehab institutions.

Abstract: Electronic monitoring systems and methods that permit full-time tracking and management of, and communication with, monitored clients that carry a client tracking unit and wear a transmitter, by a monitoring individual that carries a wireless portable monitoring device. A central monitoring station having a central database is ported to a plurality of processor interfaces, including RF, GPS, and integrated voice, for example. The central database is wirelessly linked to the portable monitoring device, which is programmed to remotely track and manage clients by way of the respective interfaces. A monitoring unit is coupled to (or includes) a dock that docks the client tracking unit. The client tracking unit has a GPS receiver that receives position signals from satellites orbiting the Earth to permit tracking of the client.
