A guard tour system comprising a computer running a computer program that enables a variety of electronic hardware components to function as the guard tour system. It is contemplated that the computer program be multi-user and/or network compatible. The electronic hardware includes one or more touch button readers, or one or more positioning system receivers (such as a global or local positioning system receiver), or both; one or more downloaders for use with the touch button readers and global positioning system receivers; and optionally a plurality of touch memory buttons located along a guard tour. Each touch memory button includes preprogrammed information specific to its particular location. As a guard or night watchman progresses through the guard tour he or she either obtains a global positioning system location reading manually or automatically or reads the information stored within each touch memory button or both, using a hand-held, battery operated reader. The Global Positioning System allows for collection of various guard positioning information.

The guard tour system of the present invention is comprised of a central computer which runs a computer program that enables a variety of electronic hardware components to function as the guard tour system. As a guard progresses through a guard tour, he or she uses a touch button reader to read information stored within a plurality of touch memory buttons located along the patrol route. At the end of the patrol, the guard places the touch button reader in a downloader that transfers the stored data to the central computer which processes the data and generates reports summarizing the patrol data. The computer program of the present invention provides a novel method of organizing security information in hierarchical categories. Further, the guard tour system of the present invention uses a novel method to determine the number of times a guard visited a location in a given time period.

The touch button data carrier mount of the present invention is comprised of two flanges which meet to form a circular central hub portion. The circular central hub portion has a hole therein adapted to engage a touch button and hold the touch button adjacent to a surface. The flanges include a means for securing the mounting device to a surface, such means including but not limited to holes for screws, rivets, nails, bolts or any other known means. The device also includes protective walls around the sides of the central hub to protect the touch button mounted therein from damage, particularly from contact with battery terminals.

A guard tour system utilizing mote networks is disclosed. The system includes a web browser, a server and a plurality of motes in a network which communicate with one another using radio frequency communication. The motes have media readers associated therewith permitting the identification of guard tour officers and incident identifiers to be read from various types of media. The motes transmit guard tour data to the server via a radio frequency transceiver or a communication interface for analysis, reporting, notification or other purpose. Pre-existing mote networks can be utilized thus reducing the number of motes required for communication with the server or other computer utilized by the guard tour system.

A personal safety accessory device that is worn or carried by the user along with a communication device, such as a cellular telephone, is disclosed. In an emergency situation, the personal safety accessory device is actuated causing the accessory device to emit a short range radio frequency signal that is received by the communication device which attempts to establish a connection to a predetermined address. If a connection is established, the communication device transmits a message, which may consist of voice and/or data to the predetermined address. The connection may be automatically terminated after successful transmission of the message or the connection may remain intact until it is manually terminated. If the connection is not successfully established, the communication device will repeatedly attempt to establish the connection until it is successfully established or the connection has been manually terminated. Alternatively, the communication device will attempt to sequentially establish a connection to a predetermined list of addresses in order to transmit a message, which may consist of voice and/or data, to same.

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.
