Abrégé

A body-worn tracking device (BWTD) includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device, a cellular communication unit, at least one processor, and at least one memory device. The at least one memory device includes instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to determine whether the BWTD is located on board an aircraft. Execution of the instructions further causes the at least one processor to, responsive to determining that the BWTD is located on board the aircraft: disable the GNSS device and the cellular communication unit; and temporarily refrain from generating an alert that indicates a current location of the BWTD cannot be determined.

Abrégé

A body-worn tracking device (BWTD) includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device, at least one motion sensor, at least one processor, and at least one memory device. The at least one memory device includes instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to determine, based on data generated by the at least one motion sensor, a net distance between the last known location of the BWTD and a current location of the BWTD. The instructions further cause the at least one processor to determine, based on the net distance, whether the BWTD is within a bounded area that includes the last known location; and responsive to determining that BWTD is not within the bounded area, output an indication that the BWTD is not within the bounded area.

Abrégé

A system for tracking a location of a body-worn tracking device (BWTD) includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) component, one or more sensors, one or more processors, and a memory device. The memory device includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine whether a current location of the BWTD can be determined using the GNSS component. The instructions also cause the one or more processors to determine, based in part on the activity of the wearer of the BWTD and based on a determination that the current location of the BWTD cannot be determined using the GNSS component, whether to perform an action. The instructions also cause the one or more processors to perform the action in response to a determination to perform the action.

In an example, a system comprises at least one body-worn tracking device (BWTD) configured to transmit location data that indicates a location of the BWTD and a computing system configured to communicate with the at least one BWTD. The computing system is configured to receive the location data from the at least one BWTD, determine, based on a set of weighted filters associated with at least one monitoring attribute, at least one gradient value corresponding to the location data, where the at least one gradient value represents a level of the at least one monitoring attribute, and perform at least one operation based on the at least one gradient value.

Example techniques of this disclosure are directed determining one or more values that represent a monitoring attribute for one or more body-worn tracking devices (BWTDs). In some instances, the techniques include determining a compliance metric that represents a level of compliance for at least one offender. That is, the compliance metric may be a quantitative value that represents whether a user wearing BWTD is complying with established rules or desired behaviors.

According to aspects of this disclosure, a monitored person, via an end-user computing device, may generate a rule deviation request and send the rule deviation request to the computing system of the supervising agency. Based on the received request, the computing system may, upon receiving an indication that the request is authorized, determine a reconfigured rule and enforce the reconfigured rule. In some instances, the computing system may be configured to suppress an alert that would have been generated based on an activity prohibited by initial rule but that is permitted by the reconfigured rule. The reconfigured rule may remain in effect for a duration specified by the request. In this way, the techniques may increase the efficiency with which rule deviation requests are processed and enforced.
