Abstract
Abstract A system and method for detecting, monitoring, and identifying objects within an area having at least one surveillance system and one position locating system for independently detecting and monitoring objects located within an area. The surveillance system information and the position locating system information is provided to the system, and the system compares the information to determine if they are the same object and if the object is authorized to be in the area. The system also notifies the system operator if the object is not authorized to be in the area or if the object is not being detected by all the surveillance and position locating systems.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A system for detecting, monitoring, and identifying objects within an area comprising; at least one surveillance means and one position locating means for independently detecting and monitoring at least one object located within a predetermined area, means for recording data on a first object detected and monitored by the surveillance means located within the area, means for recording data on a second object detected and monitored by the position locating means located within the area, means for comparing the surveillance recorded data of the first object with the position locating recorded data of the second object to determine if the surveillance mean and the position locating means are referencing a same target, means for determining if the target is authorized to be in the area, and means for notifying an operator if the target is not authorized to be in the area.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
142 words
A system for detecting, monitoring, and identifying objects within an area comprising; at least one surveillance means and one position locating means for independently detecting and monitoring at least one object located within a predetermined area, means for recording data on a first object detected and monitored by the surveillance means located within the area, means for recording data on a second object detected and monitored by the position locating means located within the area, means for comparing the surveillance recorded data of the first object with the position locating recorded data of the second object to determine if the surveillance mean and the position locating means are referencing a same target, means for determining if the target is authorized to be in the area, and means for notifying an operator if the target is not authorized to be in the area.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the surveillance means is a digital, non-digital or infra-red video surveillance system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the position locating means is a RF tracking, a GPS, or radio signal transceiver system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the comparison means uses a logic algorithm to compare the surveillance recorded data and the position locating recorded data.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the position locating means detects and monitors objects with tracking tags.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprises means for notifying an operator when at least one of the first object is not detected by the surveillance means and the second object is not detected by the position locating means.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
148 words
A method for detecting, monitoring, and identifying objects within an area comprising the steps of; independently detecting and monitoring at least one object by at least one surveillance system and one position locating system, recording data on a first object detected and monitored by the surveillance system located within the area, and recording data on a second object detected and monitored by the position locating system located within the area, sending the recorded data on the first object and the recorded data on the second object to a database, comparing the recorded data of the first object with the recorded data of the second object in the database to determine if the first object and the second object is a same target, determining if the target is authorized to be in the area, and notifying an operator if the target is not authorized to be in the area.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
148 words
A method for detecting, monitoring, and identifying objects within an area comprising the steps of; independently detecting and monitoring at least one object by at least one surveillance system and one position locating system, recording data on a first object detected and monitored by the surveillance system located within the area, and recording data on a second object detected and monitored by the position locating system located within the area, sending the recorded data on the first object and the recorded data on the second object to a database, comparing the recorded data of the first object with the recorded data of the second object in the database to determine if the first object and the second object is a same target, determining if the target is authorized to be in the area, and notifying an operator if the target is not authorized to be in the area.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 7 , wherein the surveillance system is a digital, non-digital or infra-red video surveillance system.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 7 , wherein the position locating system is a RF tracking, a GPS, or radio signal transceiver system.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 7 , wherein said comparing step uses a logic algorithm on a computer to compare the recorded data of the first object with the recorded data of the second object in the database.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 7 , wherein the position locating system detects and monitors objects with tracking tags.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 7 , further comprising the step of; notifying an operator if at least one of the first object is not detected by the surveillance means and the second object is not detected by the position locating means.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 7 , further comprising the steps of; continually detecting and monitoring the target by the surveillance system and the position locating system while within the area.
