Abstract

A location confirmation platform of a released arrestee's location and a property entry status system for establishing a virtual boundary around a property in which an individual is scheduled or authorized to appear or occupy and polling and confirming the individual's presence within the boundary.

Claims (40)

1. A wearable band comprising:

a computing portion coupled and located between an inner wrap and an outer wrap;

at least two holes located in said outer wrap;

at least one downstream prong and at least one upstream prong located on said inner wrap;

wherein said inner wrap comprises an internal conducting band;

wherein said outer wrap comprises an internal conducting band;

wherein said inner wrap and said outer wrap comprise a non-conductive outer coating;

a cap which couples to at least two prongs, wherein said cap electrically couples said at least two prongs; wherein when said prongs on said inner wrap are inserted through said holes in the outer wrap, and when said cap electrically couples at least one upstream prong with at least one downstream prong, a complete electrical circuit is completed, but if the cap is removed, the circuit is stopped; wherein said computing portion can communicate with a mobile device, and wherein said mobile device can determine if the electrical circuit on said band is broken, and wherein said mobile device captures physical characteristic data at said device.

2. The wearable band of claim 1 wherein said cap comprises an internal conductive surface which electrically couples at least one upstream prong and at least one downstream prong, and wherein said cap comprises couplers which couple and connect with said prongs.

3. The wearable band of claim 2 wherein said prongs comprise a prong recess, wherein said prong recess has a smaller diameter than a top portion of said prong, and wherein said couplers on said cap couple with said prongs at said prong recess.

4. The wearable band of claim 2 wherein said coupler comprises a C-shaped coupled which mates with the recess of each prong.

5. The wearable band of claim 4 wherein said at least one downstream prong comprises two downstream prongs, and wherein said at least one upstream prong comprises two upstream prongs, and wherein said couplers breaks upon removal.

6. The wearable band of claim 1 wherein said cap comprises a one-time fit cap.

7. The wearable band of claim 1 wherein said cap comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, and wherein said cap sandwiches said inner and outer wraps.

8. The wearable band of claim 1 wherein said internal conducting band on said inner wrap does not extend to said at least one downstream prong, and wherein the only way to complete a circuit is through said cap which electrically connects said at least one upstream prong with said at least one downstream prong.

9. The wearable band of claim 8 wherein said mobile device can determine if the electrical circuit on said band is broken.

10. The wearable band of claim 1 wherein when said cap is broken, the circuit is open and the mobile device unit will detect this breach, and wherein said mobile device will communicate the breach to a remote server.

11. The wearable band of claim 1 further comprising a close range tag.

12. The wearable band of claim 1 further comprising a breath analyzer.

13. The wearable band of claim 1 further comprising a heart monitor.

14. A system for confirming the location of an incarcerated individual, comprising

a mobile device,

a global positioning system receiver, a microprocessor and a wireless communication transceiver coupled to the global positioning system receiver;

a user interface, comprising a display and a physical characteristic input for recording an attribute of the incarcerated individual; and

a storage medium,

wherein the mobile device is programmed to send device location and physical characteristic data to a remote system and receive a request for the mobile device location confirmation, and wherein said mobile device captures said physical characteristic data at said device,

a wearable article in communication with the mobile device, wherein the wearable article comprises a cap which completes an electrical circuit when connected;

wherein said wearable article comprises:

a computing portion coupled and located between an inner wrap and an outer wrap;

at least two holes located in said outer wrap;

at least one downstream prong and at least one upstream prong located on said inner wrap;

wherein said inner wrap comprises an internal conducting band;

wherein said outer wrap comprises an internal conducting band;

wherein said inner wrap and said outer wrap comprise a non-conductive outer coating;

wherein when said cap is coupled to said at least two prongs an electrical circuit is closed and wherein when said cap is removed the electrical circuit is open.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein said internal conducting band on said inner wrap does not extend to said at least one downstream prong, and wherein the only way to complete a circuit is through said cap which electrically connects said at least one upstream prong with said at least one downstream prong.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the physical characteristic input is a fingerprint sensor for recording a fingerprint of the incarcerated individual.

17. The system of claim 14 wherein when said cap is broken, the circuit is open and the mobile device unit will detect this breach, and wherein said mobile device will communicate the breach to a remote server.

18. The system of claim 14 further comprising a breath analyzer.

19. The system of claim 14 wherein said cap comprises an internal conductive surface which electrically couples at least one upstream prong and at least one downstream prong, and wherein said cap comprises couplers which couple and connect with said prongs, and wherein said prongs comprise a prong recess, wherein said prong recess has a smaller diameter than a top portion of said prong, and wherein said couplers on said cap couple with said prongs at said prong recess.
