Systems and methods for device load transfer in a hybrid monitoring system
Various embodiments provide systems and method for hybrid monitoring of individuals using both a combination of a user attached monitor device and a user detached monitor device.
1 . A method for identifying an individual, the method comprising:
receiving, by a user detached monitoring device, a request to perform an operation,
communicating, by the user detached monitor device, a message to a user attached monitor device, wherein the user attached monitor device is attached to the individual;
receiving, by the user detached monitor device, a response to the message; and
performing the operation, by the user detached monitor device, based at least in part on the response to the message.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user attached monitor device comprises:
a tamper circuit configured to indicate removal of the user attached monitor device from the individual.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the tamper circuit includes at least one sensor selected from a group consisting of: a tamper sensor, a motion sensor, and a proximity sensor.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the tamper circuit is configured to output an indication of tampering with the user attached monitor device.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein performing the operation is further based in part on indication of tampering with the user attached monitor device.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
determining, by the user detached monitor device, that the individual is within a defined range of the user detached monitor device based at least in part on the response to the message.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the operation is an upload operation.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is a connection message.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the connection message is a BlueTooth™ communication protocol message.
10 . A system for authenticating an individual, the system comprising:
a user attached monitor device configured to attach to a limb of the individual;
a user detached monitor device comprising:
a communication circuit configured to communicate with the user attached monitor device;
a controller circuit configured to:
receive a request to perform an operation;
communicate a message to the user attached monitor device via the communication circuit; and
based at least in part on a response to the message, perform the operation.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the message is a connection request, the response to the message is a status of a battery of the user attached monitor device, and the operation is to report the status of the battery.
12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the user attached monitor device comprises:
a tamper circuit configured to indicate removal of the user attached monitor device from the individual.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the tamper circuit includes at least one sensor selected from a group consisting of: a tamper sensor, a motion sensor, and a proximity sensor.
14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the tamper circuit is configured to output an indication of tampering with the user attached monitor device.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein performing the operation is further based in part on indication of tampering with the user attached monitor device.
16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:
determining, by the user detached monitor device, that the individual is within a defined range of the user detached monitor device based at least in part on the response to the message.
17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the operation is an upload operation.
18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the message is a connection message.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the connection message is a BlueTooth™ communication protocol message.
20 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is a connection request, the response to the message is a status of a battery of the user attached monitor device, and the operation is to report the status of the battery.
