Abstract

A system and method for monitoring from variable endpoints the location of a remote wearer of a wireless communications device is disclosed. The device is capable of determining its current geographic location from GPS signals or the like and comparing such location to a stored set of rules defining permissible or impermissible geographic zones. Upon breach of such rules, the device will automatically report notification of the breach to a central server which will communicate notification to a designated endpoint based on previously stored routing conditions. Endpoints are capable of querying or sending a message to the device directly. Further, the system provides for a network-accessible communications center, such as an Internet website, through which users of the system may send and receive data to the device, or modify the boundary rule sets or routing conditions as needed in near real time.
