Body worn active and passive tracking device

Claim 1

A tamper resistant body-worn tracking device worn on a limb of an offender for use in a wireless communication system receiving signals from a GPS and directly communicating spacial coordinates to multiple remote sites, the body-worn tracking device comprising (a) a sealed enclosed case containing means for implementing tamper detection; (b) a main battery enclosed by the case; (c) a signaling device enclosed by the case; (d) a means to replace the main battery; (e) a circuit board enclosed by the case having attached on the circuit board, a wireless data modem, a GPS receiver having a means to acquire updates to a GPS almanac, a matched filtering GPS receiver, an RF front end connected to the GPS receiver and matched filtering GPS receiver and a field programmable gate array; and (f) the body-worn tracking device in contact with a central station computer containing an algorithm for comparing a current location of the body-worn tracking device to a schedule of rules and location restraints to determine if a static violation has occurred.

Claim 12

A system for determining the spacial coordinates of an offender comprising attaching a tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to a limb of the offender, and sending signals directly from the body-worn tracking device to remote associated notification devices, the body-worn tracking device providing a sealed case containing: (a) a main battery; (b) a signaling device; (c) a circuit board having attached to the board (1) a wireless data modem, (2) a GPS receiver having a means to acquire updates to a GPS almanac, (3) a matched filtering GPS receiver with an RF front end connected to the GPS receiver and matched filtering GPS receiver, and (4) a field programmable gate array; the system including a central station computer in direct communication with the body-worn device, the computer containing an algorithm for comparing a current location of the body-worn tracking device to a schedule of rules and location restraints to determine if a violation has occurred.

Claim 13

A system for determining the spacial coordinates of an offender comprising attaching a tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to a limb of the offender, and sending signals directly from the body-worn tracking device to remote associated notification devices, the body-worn tracking device providing a sealed case containing: (a) a main battery; (b) a signaling device; (c) a circuit board having attached to the board (1) a wireless data modem, (2) a GPS receiver having a means to acquire updates to a GPS almanac, (3) a matched filtering GPS receiver with an RF front end connected to the GPS receiver and matched filtering GPS receiver, and (4) a field programmable gate array; the system including a central station computer in direct communication with the body-worn device, the computer containing an algorithm for comparing a current location of the body-worn tracking device to a schedule of rules and location restraints to determine if a violation has occurred.
