Abstract:
The present subject matter is directed to an apparatus and methodology for monitoring for the occurrence of use of unauthorized telecommunications equipment within a designated area. The present subject matter has particular utility to the corrections environment in that it discloses a methodology for detecting and reporting the unauthorized operation of cellular telephones within a corrections facility. The present technology may be used advantageously in combination with inmate telephone systems to transmit information to appropriate personnel in the form of email messages and/or voice communications by way of telephone local or corrections facility external telephone lines. The present technology also provides for recordation and storage of time, date and location information for detected events.

Claim (Index 16):
A computer-implemented method for detecting unauthorized cellular telephone usage within predetermined zones within a facility, the method comprising:\n providing a first cellular telephone transmission detector having a first zone of detection and configured to produce a first detection signal upon detection of a cellular telephone transmission within the first zone of detection, the first detection signal indicating that the first cellular telephone transmission was detected within the first zone of detection, the first detection signal including information indicative of a location of the first cellular telephone transmission detector and a first detection time; providing a second cellular telephone transmission detector having a second zone of detection and configured to produce a second detection signal upon detection of the cellular telephone transmission within the second zone of detection, the second detection signal indicating that the second cellular telephone transmission was detected within the second zone of detection, the second detection signal including information indicative of a location of the second cellular telephone transmission detector and a second detection time; receiving a first detection signal from a first cellular telephone transmission detector and a second detection signal from a second cellular telephone transmission detector; determining that the first detection signal and the second detection signal are indicative of the same detected cellular telephone transmission based on the first detection time, the second detection time, and whether the first zone of detection overlaps the second zone of detection; and transmitting a notification message based on at least one of the first and second detection signals, wherein the notification message includes an identification of the detected cellular telephone transmission.
