  • Patent number: 9494674
    Abstract: A personal locator beacon system including at least one individual locator device and a plurality of battery powered wireless beacons installed at different locations within a facility. Each individual locator device is worn by a corresponding individual and has a local wireless transceiver and a GPS receiver. The plurality of beacons include at least a subset of reed switch beacons installed at different doorway locations within the facility. Each reed switch beacon is configured to transmit an identification signal with a predetermined signal strength for reception by the local wireless transceiver of the individual locator device within a designated area of the facility, as well as to selectively acquire a perimeter mode for detecting opening of a respective door of the facility.

  • Patent number: 7209029
    Abstract: A method for providing a security code comprises providing an access location identification and security device information. A user provides access location information and access duration information to a code generator system. The access location information and access duration information is encrypted to provide an access code. The user provides a user token data to the code generator system, such that the access code is encrypted using the user token data to provide a security code. The security code is dispatched to the user.
