Abstract:
1. A method for interactive communication between one or more spaced apart active locations, each having one or more rooms therein, and a single remote supervision location comprising the steps of providing a communication system between said remote supervision location and each of said active locations, said communication system including an audio system and a visual system, said communication system selectively providing communication between each of said active locations and said remote supervision location, selectively prompting a first action at one of said spaced apart active locations through use of said communication system, awaiting at said remote supervision location for acknowledgment of the performance of said first action at said one active location, repeating said first-action prompting step and said awaiting step if no acknowledgment is received at said remote supervision location within an agreed upon response time until an acknowledgment is received at said remote supervision location, receiving acknowledgment from said one active location through said communication system of the performance of said first action, and selectively prompting a second action to be performed at said one active location through said communication system after receipt of acknowledgment that said first action is completed, whereby multiple actions to be performed at multiple spaced apart active locations may be monitored and supervised from a single remote supervision location.
