6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:
convert the combination of the first zone area and the second zone area into an exclusion zone data set; and
transfer at least a portion of the exclusion zone data set to a target monitor device via a wireless communication link.
7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the indication of the second zone area is a set of coordinates identifying a two-dimensional area.
8. The system of claim 4 , wherein the indication of the second zone area is received as a graphical representation of a two-dimensional area, and wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:
convert the graphical representation of the two-dimensional area to a set of coordinates identifying a two-dimensional area.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the zone area is a set of coordinates identifying a two-dimensional area, and wherein the altitude region indicates a first altitude and a second altitude for the zone area.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first altitude is a first distance relative to a baseline altitude, and wherein the second altitude is a second distance from the baseline altitude.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first altitude is an indication of a first floor number of a building within the zone area, and wherein the second altitude is a second floor number within the building, and wherein the altitude region extends from approximately a bottom of a floor corresponding to the first floor number of the building to approximately a top of a floor corresponding to the second floor number within the building.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the zone area is an address of a building, and wherein the altitude region indicates a first floor number of the building and a second floor number of the building, and wherein the zone area is defined as a two-dimensional area of the building at an altitude extending from approximately a bottom of a floor corresponding to the first floor number of the building to approximately a top of a floor corresponding to the second floor number within the building.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by a processor to:
receive an indication of a zone area and an altitude range for the zone area, wherein the zone area is an altitude limited zone area that is limited to the altitude range;
display a graphical representation of the zone area via a display device; and
transfer a data set representing at least a portion of the altitude limited zone area to a target monitor device via a wireless communication circuit, wherein the target monitor device is located remote from the processor and associated with a monitored individual.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the target monitor device is configured to report a transition of the target monitor device across a boundary of the altitude limited zone area.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the zone area is a first zone area, and wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:
receive an indication of a second zone area, wherein the first zone area is an altitude unlimited zone area; and
display a graphical representation of a combination of the first zone area and the second zone area via the display device.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:
convert the combination of the first zone area and the second zone area into an inclusion zone data set; and
transfer at least a portion of the inclusion zone data set to a target monitor device via a wireless communication link.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:
convert the combination of the first zone area and the second zone area into an exclusion zone data set; and
transfer at least a portion of the exclusion zone data set to a target monitor device via a wireless communication link.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the indication of the second zone area is a set of coordinates identifying a two-dimensional area.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the indication of the second zone area is received as a graphical representation of a two-dimensional area, and wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:
