Patent number: 10223888Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to authenticate tags passing through detection regions against an access control list, receive data that identifies a number of people passing through or within the detection regions, compare the number people identified by the received data with the number of tags identified by the system, and cause an alarm to be asserted when a discrepancy is detected in the number people identified with the number of tags in a detection region with personnel within the detection region.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Stewart E. Hall, Robert F. Brewin, Scott M. Clements

Patent number: 9651656Abstract: A real-time location and tracking system includes location markers programmed with location information of the locations that the location markers are affixed to and a mobile RTLS tracking system to read location information from nearby location markers and a mobile RTLS monitoring and display system. The system is configured to receive signals from the mobile RTLS tracking system that includes a microprocessor and memory that control the functionality of the mobile RTLS monitoring and display system to display status and geo coordinates of the mobile RTLS tracking system.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Stewart E. Hall, Hap Patterson, Robert F. Brewin
