Patent ID: 8611927

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for tracking at least one locatee communicator device located remotely from an analysis unit, comprising the steps of: obtaining permission from the locatee communicator device for access of a locator communicator device to information regarding real-time geo-referencing or real-time time-tracking data associated with the locatee communicator device; analyzing, at the analysis unit, the real-time geo-referencing or real-time time-tracking data associated with the locatee communicator device received from the locatee communicator device, wherein the locatee communicator device is one of a computer, cellular telephone and a personal data assistant, wherein the real-time geo-referencing or real-time time-tracking data associated with the locatee communicator device is determined using hardware that is internal to and electrically integrated with the locatee communicator device, and wherein the locatee communicator device is adapted to output at least some of the real-time geo-referencing or real-time time-tracking data; and transmitting to the locator communicator device at least some of the geo-referencing or time-tracking data and transmitting to the locator communicator device an alert when, the actual travel path of the locatee communicator device deviates from an expected travel path, or is located outside a specified spatial range, or does not arrive at a location by a specified time of arrival, or arrives at a location by a specified time of arrival, or enters or is present at a specified geo-referenced area.
