Activity Level Monitoring Participant Station Network

摘要

A network of interreporting participant stations configured to monitor and analyze station movement such that activity levels of the individual stations can be determined and reported across the network to alert participant stations whenever the activity level of any one of the participant stations has dropped to a pre-determined level.

1. A network of interreporting participant stations configured to monitor and analyze station movement such that activity levels of individual stations can be determined and reported across the network, comprising:
a plurality of participant stations, each participant station comprising: (a) a communication system enabling message transmission to the other participant stations in the network; (b) one or both of:
(i) a GPS for determining the location of the participant station, or(ii) a movement sensor for detecting movement of the participant station; (c) a movement recording system that records one or both of the location or movement of the participating station over time; (d) an activity level measuring system that measures an activity level of the participating station over intervals of time based on changes in one or both of the location or movement of the participant station over the intervals of time; (e) a movement threshold level identifier that identifies when the activity level has remained below a pre-determined threshold for a pre-determined period of time; and (f) an alert system that transmits a message through the communication system to other participant stations in the network when the movement threshold level identifier has determined that the activity level has remained below the pre-determined threshold for the pre-determined period of time.
