International Classification:

H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

340 101

Abstract:

An RFID-based tracking system that tracks persons and/or objects of interest without the need for triangulation techniques is disclosed. The system tracks persons and/or objects of interest by utilizing RFID antennas having a relatively small field of view and positioned relative to functional areas of a facility and/or within passageways between functional areas of the facility. The persons and/or objects of interest to be tracked are provided with an RFID tag. The present invention provides the system user with the ability to determine whether the persons and/or objects of interest are present within a particular functional area of the facility regardless of whether the presence of the person and/or object of interest is continuously detected by the system.

G06K 7/10

Abstract:

A tracking system that tracks persons and/or objects of interest without the need for triangulation techniques is disclosed. The tracking system utilizes very low power active radio frequency tags with limited effective broadcast range that operate only in the transmit mode with no need to establish two-way communication with any part of the system. The person or object of interest is provided with a radio frequency tag incorporating a unique identifier. Gateways connected to a common network interface are positioned relative to specific areas within the facility to be monitored. A computer connected to the same network as the gateways analyzes data relating to the strength of the of the radio frequency signals received by the radio frequency receivers from the radio frequency tags to determine if, and when, persons and/or objects of interest are present within particular subareas within the facility.

International Classification:

G08B 5/22

US Classification:

3406916

Abstract:

A display system for tracking large numbers of persons or objects in real-time is disclosed. The display system utilizes a tracking system that employs various types of technologies, such as RFID, to determine the location of the person and/or objects being tracked. The displays of the present invention utilize colors, graphics, and the physical groupings of related data on a display device, usually a computer monitor, to present tracking information in a compact, readily changeable, and easily analyzed format in real-time.

US Classification:

34053913

Abstract:

A system for checking the well-being of individuals within an institution is disclosed. The system is comprised of portable wireless devices in the possession of individual(s) who are to perform the well-being checks, a wireless communication network, and a computer device that is connected to the portable wireless devices by the wireless communication network. The computer device executes well-being software and is provided with well-being databases containing the well-being checks to be performed for each person, and has access to a tracking system. The tracking system determines the location of the person on whom such well-being checks are to be performed, the individual performing such well-being checks, and monitors and records whether such well-being checks have been performed.
