Abstract:
A personnel tracking and monitoring system and method comprises sets of monitoring devices each including: an electronic device having a unique identifier, a locating device, and a wireless communication device communicating via a plurality of protocols. The unique identifier, the location data and time data are associated and are transmitted wirelessly to one or more monitoring stations which store same in a database. The electronic devices and/or one or more relay devices may be configured before arrival at the site and/or whilst en route. Data stored in the data base is compared with predetermined criteria and if any predetermined criteria is exceeded, an indication thereof is communicated to the monitoring stations and/or to the electronic device to which such indication relates.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for tracking and monitoring personnel comprising:\n providing a plurality of sets of monitoring devices configured to be carried by personnel, each set of monitoring devices including:\n an electronic device having a unique identifier and including a locating device configured to provide location data, a wireless communication device configured for communicating via a plurality of communication protocols, and a user interface configured to provide information to a user in human perceivable form and to receive information from a user wherein the wireless communication device is configured to communicate information provided to and received by the user interface; \n associating the unique identifier, the location data and time data; transmitting the unique identifier, the location data and the time data associated therewith via the first or second short range communication protocol or via a longer range communication protocol; deploying a plurality of portable relay devices at a site, each portable relay device having a wireless communication device configured to communicate with the wireless communication devices of the plurality of sets of monitoring devices; receiving prior to arrival at the site records describing the configuration of the site; planning deployment of the portable relay devices at specific locations at the site based upon the received site records; configuring the portable relay devices based upon the deployment plan including defining for each portable relay device the specific location at which that portable relay device is to be deployed; and deploying the portable relay devices at the specific locations at the site in accordance with the deployment plan, whereby each portable relay device has a specific location defined therein and is deployed substantially at that specific defined location so that location with respect to each deployed portable relay device can be defined without reference to an external locating signal; relaying the unique identifier, the location data and the time data associated therewith to one or more monitoring stations either directly or via one or more of the plurality of portable relay devices; communicating directly or indirectly with the wireless communication devices of the plurality of portable relay devices to receive the unique identifier, the location data and the time data associated therewith relayed thereby, storing the received unique identifier, the location data and the time data associated therewith in a database; comparing data stored in the data base with one or more predetermined criteria and when one or more of the predetermined criteria is exceeded, generating an indication thereof and communicating the indication to each monitoring station, to the electronic device to which such indication relates, or to each monitoring station and to the electronic device to which such indication relates.
