Geospatial analytic reporting and monitoring
Embodiments of systems and methods for analyzing, monitoring and recording communications with a controlled-environment facility are described. In one embodiment, a floor plan for a controlled-environment facility is displayed to a user. The floor plan shows a number of areas representing locations within the controlled-environment facility. The areas displayed on the floor plan may represent locations within the controlled-environment facility based upon a physical or logical relationship between the areas. One or more floor plan areas are highlighted on the display. The highlighting is associated with communication service activity in the controlled-environment facility. For example, the communication service activity may correspond to an operational status of communication devices, call volume on communication devices, called numbers, caller identities, or real-time or historical calling activity.
1. A method comprising:
displaying a floor plan for at least a portion of a controlled-environment facility, the floor plan comprising a plurality of floor plan areas representing physical areas within the controlled-environment facility, wherein the physical areas include communication devices for use by residents of the controlled-environment facility in participating in visitation sessions with non-residents, and wherein the displayed floor plan areas include a plurality of device indicators, each representing one of the communication devices;
monitoring the visitation sessions conducted using the plurality of communication devices located within the displayed areas of the controlled-environment facility; and
in response to selection of a displayed device indicator, reporting monitored aspects of the visitation sessions conducted using the communication device corresponding to the selected device indicator.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitored activity comprises an operational status of the plurality of communication devices.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitored activity comprises a call volume generated by the plurality of communication devices.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitored activity comprises called number information for calls conducted via the plurality of communication devices.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitored activity comprises caller identity information for calls conducted via the plurality of communication devices.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying a floor plan further comprises:
receiving a user selection identifying the controlled-environment facility; and
retrieving a top-level floor plan for the controlled-environment facility.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving a user selection of a controlled-environment facility location; and
retrieving a next-level floor plan for the controlled-environment facility, the next-level floor plan corresponding to an additional floor plan for the selected controlled-environment facility location.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying a floor plan further comprises:
displaying a series of floor-plan images corresponding to a selected time window; and
highlighting one or more floor plan areas on each of the series of floor-plan image on the display.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the areas based upon a physical relationship between the areas.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the areas based upon a logical relationship between the areas.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitored activity corresponds to ongoing calling activity within each of the displayed areas.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitored activity corresponds to activity for the plurality of communication devices occurring during a selected past time.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying call activity trends by the plurality of communication devices from the highlighted floor plan areas on the display.
14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the monitored activity, recording a communication conducted via a communication device of the plurality of communication devices.
15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
highlighting one or more of the displayed device indicators to indicate the communication devices used by a resident for visitation sessions within a specified period of time.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
reporting monitored aspects of the visitation sessions by the resident during the specified time window.
17. A system comprising a data processing device configured to:
receive a user selection identifying a controlled-environment facility;
retrieve a top-level floor plan for at least a portion of the controlled-environment facility from a memory device;
display the top-level-floor plan on a user display, the floor plan comprising a plurality of floor plan areas representing physical areas within the controlled-environment facility, wherein the physical areas include communication devices for use by residents of the controlled-environment facility in participating in visitation sessions with non-residents, and wherein the displayed floor plan areas include a plurality of device indicators, each representing one of the communication devices;
monitoring the visitation sessions conducted using the communication devices located within the displayed floor plan areas of the controlled-environment facility; and
in response to selection of a displayed device indicator, reporting monitored aspects of the visitation sessions conducted using the communication device corresponding to the selected device indicator.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the data processing device is further configured to:
receive a user selection of a controlled-environment facility;
retrieve a next-level floor plan for the selected controlled-environment facility, the next-level floor plan corresponding to an additional floor plan for the selected controlled-environment facility;
display the next-level floor plan on a user display; and
highlight one or more floor plan areas on the next-level display, the highlighting indicating the monitored activity of the plurality of communication devices within the floor plan areas of in the controlled-environment facility.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the data processing device is further configured to:
record a communication conducted via a communication device of the plurality of communication devices in response to the monitored activity in the controlled-environment facility.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the data processing device is further configured to:
analyze the monitored activity in the controlled-environment facility; and
provide monitored activity analytics to the user.
