School perimeter security system

摘要

A school perimeter security system includes a registry database. The registry database includes: registered student mobile device identifiers, registered non-student mobile device identifiers, and a matching of students with authorized non-students with whom the students are permitted to be paired with near the perimeter. At least three beacon devices are located within the school perimeter, positioned to establish a boundary area near the perimeter, detect and establish communication with mobile devices entering the boundary area, obtain an identifier from each mobile device that enters the boundary area, and facilitate trilateration of all mobile devices within the boundary area. The processor and beacon devices cooperatively interact to identify every mobile device entering the boundary area, track the location of every mobile device within the boundary area, compare the identified mobile devices with identifiers in the registry database and, transmit an alert notice when a condition is satisfied.

1. A school perimeter security system comprising:
I) at least one processor; II) non-transitory storage, accessible to the at least one processor; III) a registry database, stored within the non-transitory storage, the registry database comprising a maintained listing including:
i) registered student mobile device identifiers, corresponding to students of the school who are allowed to be within a perimeter of the school,ii) registered non-student mobile device identifiers, corresponding to authorized non-students who are allowed to be within the school's perimeter,iii) a matching of students corresponding to the registered student mobile device identifiers with the registered non-student mobile device identifiers corresponding to the authorized non-students with whom the students are permitted to be paired with near the school's perimeter; IV) at least three beacon devices located within the school's perimeter, the at least three beacon devices being
i) positioned so as to
a) establish a boundary area near the school's perimeter,b) detect and establish communication with mobile devices entering the boundary area,c) obtain an identifier from each mobile device that enters the boundary area,d) facilitate trilateration of a location of all mobile devices within the boundary area, ande) determine a relative distance between the mobile devices and the school's perimeter such that it can be determined whether any individual mobile device is near the school's perimeter; andii) communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and V) wherein the at least one processor and at least three beacon devices cooperatively interact, under program control, such that the processor will
i) identify every mobile device entering the boundary area by identifier and location,ii) track the location of every mobile device within the boundary area,iii) compare the identifiers of the identified mobile devices with the registered student mobile device identifiers and registered non-student mobile device identifiers in the registry database and, transmit an alert notice to at least one designated recipient when at least one of the following conditions are satisfied:
a) a mobile device has entered the boundary area but its identifier is not present within the maintained listing,b) a registered student corresponding to a registered student mobile device identifier maintained in the registry database listing is near the school's perimeter and co-located, within a margin of detection error, with either a mobile device corresponding to a registered non-student with whom the registered student is not authorized to be paired with, or a mobile device that is not present within the maintained listing, orc) a registered student corresponding to a registered student mobile device identifier maintained in the registry database listing passes through the boundary area to beyond the school's perimeter at a time when the registered student is not authorized to pass through the boundary area to beyond the school's perimeter.
