Conformation of all orders and telemetry will provide accountability both locally and remotely.
  • These systems can also be used to monitor individuals found to have legal social problems due to substance abuse to help manage and control dangerous human behavioral situations where there is a clear legally acknowledged and confirmed problem recognized by all parties, society and the individual and the use of this system is a condition for increased social freedom with legal and qualified monitoring control and management staff available in real time to all parties at risk. This is not proposed for those found to have uncontrollable violence problems and the use of the system would have to be closely planned regulated and watch dogged by legislators, the justice department and civil liberties. This system could also serve well for the mentally incompetent
  • PFNs as mobile offices and their ability to interface with the machine messaging PFNs to provide diagnostic functions.
  • the main point being that personal locating devices that report their location to an other location and different forms of personal PFNs that perform accountable remote management and control are all with in the nature and scope ofthe PFN invention no matter the configuration.
  • Another application involves Cellular telephone communication.
  • This system can employ the same collars belts and bracelets but they will transmit the location data via the cellular phone system. In some incidences these will be closed systems and in other cases they will be open to public access. Cost will be defrayed by commercial advertising supporting the network tracking software and providing security software protocols for the general public to use the two way paging system will also employ the same kind of belts and bracelets — and utilize 2way paging to communicate packets of GPS NEMA protocol data to specific Email address where subscribers or commercial advertisers operate a web site with the soft ware to provide secure individual tracking for a commercial operation.
