Classification: CPC G  A  H | IPC A  G  H

Claim 8:
9. A wearable device, comprising:
a position module configured to provide position information of the wearable device, wherein the position information includes a location of the wearable device within a controlled environment and a proximity of the wearable device with at least one other wearable device;
a surveillance module configured to activate a surveillance mode of the wearable device based on the proximity of the wearable device with the at least one other wearable device;
a user interface module configured to customize a dynamic user interface of the wearable device based at least in part on an inmate profile and an administrative rule; and
a processor configured to:
receive the inmate profile, wherein the inmate profile includes information regarding the user interface of the wearable device;
receive the administrative rule, wherein the administrative rule specifies a first restriction regarding an authorized function of the wearable device and a second restriction regarding a second authorized function, wherein the first restriction is a global restriction that applies to all inmates in the controlled environment and the second restriction is an inmate-specific restriction that is specific to an inmate;
instruct the user interface module to perform the authorized function, wherein the authorized function comprises customizing a setting of the dynamic user interface;
receive location information from a first beacon configured to be located within a first location within the controlled environment, wherein the location information from the first beacon corresponds with the location of the wearable device;
display the dynamic user interface based at least in part on the customized setting and based on the location of the wearable device, wherein to display the dynamic user interface, the processor is configured to:
prevent, on the dynamic user interface, access to a first application responsive to receiving the location information from the first beacon; and
allow, on the dynamic user interface, access to a second application responsive to receiving the location information from the first beacon;

receive second location information from a second beacon configured to be located within a second location with the controlled environment;
update the dynamic user interface responsive to receiving the second location information from the second beacon;
instruct the user interface module to perform the second authorized function; and
determine whether to unlock the wearable device based on a locking timer associated with a predetermined time period that the wearable device is attached to the inmate and the location of the wearable device within the controlled environment, wherein the wearable device is configured to be physically removable when unlocked.
