Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an inmate monitoring and management device that is capable of providing a facility for housing inmates, enabling monitoring of vital signs and emotional states, while also offering stress relief and a protective barrier to ensure the safety of others.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Correctional facilities face growing challenges in managing inmate behavior due to rising incidences of mental health disorders, aggression, and violence among incarcerated individuals. Inmates often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and emotional instability, which can lead to unpredictable or harmful behavior, posing risks to both staff and other inmates. Traditional monitoring methods such as manual supervision and basic surveillance—are limited in their ability to detect early signs of distress or aggression. Additionally, overcrowding and understaffing exacerbate these challenges, leaving correctional officers with insufficient resources to respond proactively. There is a critical need for an integrated, technology-driven approach to monitor inmate well-being and behavior in real-time. Advanced systems that incorporate artificial intelligence, biometric sensors, and therapeutic tools can enable early identification of mental health issues, improve situational awareness, and support timely intervention. Such solutions not only enhance safety within the facility but also contribute to the rehabilitation and emotional regulation of inmates. By using intelligent monitoring and behavior management systems, correctional institutions can promote a more humane, responsive, and secure environment that supports both correctional staff and inmate welfare. This approach aligns with modern correctional goals that emphasize safety, rehabilitation, and reduction of recidivism through mental health support and behavioral intervention.

[0003] Various types of equipment are currently employed to manage inmate behavior in correctional facilities, including surveillance cameras, restraint systems, panic alarms, metal detectors, and wearable tracking devices. Surveillance systems help monitor inmate movement and detect altercations, while restraint devices like handcuffs, leg irons, and isolation cells are used to control aggressive or non-compliant inmates. Panic alarms enable staff to call for immediate assistance during emergencies, and metal detectors help prevent the possession of weapons. Wearable technology, such as RFID tags or biometric trackers, can monitor location or vital signs. However, these tools have significant drawbacks. Most are reactive rather than proactive, identifying issues only after escalation. Restraint devices and isolation can escalate tension and have been criticized for their psychological impact, often worsening inmate mental health. Surveillance systems, while useful, rely heavily on human interpretation and may miss subtle behavioral cues. Wearable trackers can be invasive, raise privacy concerns, and require ongoing maintenance and calibration. Additionally, these systems generally function in isolation without integration, leading to fragmented data and delayed response. There is a growing need for intelligent, unified systems that not only monitor behavior but also assess emotional states, predict potential risks, and enable therapeutic intervention to promote safer and more rehabilitative environments.

[0004] US8340260B1 discloses systems and methods that provide centralized or nodal inmate management and telephone call processing capabilities to controlled environment facilities. An inmate management and call processing system serves a plurality of facilities and includes an inmate information database. The database is shared across the facilities and contains inmate records that may be accessed and modified by each facility as the inmate is transferred among those facilities. Each inmate record may include, among other information, contact information of third parties whom may be notified of the inmate's arrest and/or subsequent transfers of the inmate to different facilities. The inmate management and telephone call processing system may use third party contact information to establish accounts used to charge calls or transactions made by an inmate while residing at the facility. Some systems may also provide call processing, video conferencing, e-mail, voicemail, and/or video mail applications, and the like to the facilities.

[0005] EP0575753A2 discloses an electronic monitoring system for monitoring a large number of inmates confined in an institution is described. Each inmate wears a transmitter which broadcasts an RF signal at random times within a predetermined interval. Reference transmitters positioned at known locations provide calibration so that local transmission anomalies and system variations are accounted for. The transmitted signals contain a common code and also codes unique to each individual transmitter. Multiple receivers positioned at known locations receive the transmitted signals. The relative times of arrival of the inmate and reference transmitter signals at the multiple receivers are used to determine the location of the inmate transmitters. The inmate transmitters may also broadcast an intermittent acoustic signal which is sensed by detectors on the reference transmitters, which then transmit a tagged RF signal indicating receipt of the acoustic signal. The system provides updated inmate headcount and location about every second.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed in order to monitor people behavior, however the devices mentioned in the prior arts have limitations pertaining to track of vital signs and psychological conditions like anxiety, depression, or aggression and incorporation of a therapeutic element that reduces stress and enhances emotional regulation.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that requires to be capable of accommodating inmate in a secure configurational facility to monitor inmate health and behavior, supports emotional regulation, and deploys a barrier to protect against aggressive acts of the inmate.

[0021] The present invention relates to an inmate monitoring and management device that facilitates safe monitoring of inmates’ health and behavior, incorporating stress-reducing features, and capable of deploying a barrier to safeguard other’s from inmate’s behavior.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an inmate monitoring and management device is illustrated, comprises of a seating structure 101 with a seat 102, a backrest 103, headrests 104, a pair of hand-rests 105 and footrest 106, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 107 installed on the structure, plurality of pressure sensors 108 embedded in the seat, a health monitoring module 109 installed on the hand-rests 105, a securing unit 110 attached with the hand-rests 105 and footrests 106, the securing unit 110 includes multiple chains 111 attached with handcuffs 112 beneath the hand-rests 105, which are wound over a motorized winch 113, the securing unit 110 further includes a dual pincer assembly 114 at the footrests 106.

[0023] Figure 1 further illustrates a holographic projection unit 115 mounted on the structure, a microphone 116 mounted on the structure, set of collapsible sheet panels 117 mounted at rear-sides of the backrests 103, an acupressure therapy arrangement 118 installed on the backrest 103, the acupressure therapy arrangement 118 comprises of a plurality of motorized pressure applicators 119 embedded in the backrest 103, a vertically mounted robotic arm 120 installed on rear side of the structure, the arm 120 is equipped with a cuboidal member 121 containing a metal detector sensor 122, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator 123 installed on the structure.

[0024] The present invention includes a seating structure 101 incorporating various components associated with the device. The seating structure 101 has a seat, a backrest 103, headrests 104, a pair of hand-rests 105 and footrest 106, developed to be positioned on a ground surface. The seating structure 101 is made up of any material selected from but not limited to metal or alloy that ensures rigidity of the seating structure 101 for longevity of the device.

[0025] An authorized official is required to access and presses a push button arranged on the seating structure 101 to activate the device for associated processes of the device. The push button when pressed by the user, closes an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated control unit of the device for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation.

[0026] After the activation of the device, the authorized official is required to allow inmate to sit over the seat 102 of the seating structure 101. The seat 102 of the seating structure 101 is arranged with a plurality of pressure sensors 108 to confirm occupancy of inmates on the seating structure 101. Each of the pressure sensor 108 comprises of a sensing element known as diaphragm that experiences a force exerted by the inmate during sitting over the seat. This force leads to deflection in the diaphragm that is measured and converted into an electrical signal which is sent to the control unit for evaluating presence of inmate seating over the seating structure 101.

[0027] Based upon the detected presence of the inmate over the seating structure 101, the control unit generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 107 integrated on the structure for capturing multiple images of the seating structure 101 to determine identify inmates by matching facial features against a connected database. The imaging unit 107 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into the database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 107 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the control unit.

[0028] A facial recognition module is configured with the imaging unit 107 to process the captured images of the inmate seated over the seating structure 101. The facial recognition module is a critical component integrated with the imaging unit 107, specifically configured to process images captured of the inmate seated on the seating structure 101. Once the inmate occupies the seat, the imaging unit 107, positioned to have a clear view of the face, captures high-resolution facial images in real time. The facial recognition module then analyzes these images to extract unique facial features such as the geometry of the cheekbones, distance between the eyes, contour of the jawline, and other biometric markers. These extracted features are then compared against stored profiles in a connected database to accurately identify the individual. This process not only verifies the inmate's identity but also ensures that all associated health, behavior, and security data are correctly linked to the corresponding individual.

[0029] The facial recognition module operates continuously or at defined intervals to confirm ongoing occupancy and identity throughout the monitoring session. The control unit evaluates the identity of the inmate from the comparison with facial features recorded of all the inmates into the database.

[0030] Post detected presence of the inmate over the seating structure 101, the inmate’s arms and legs are secured by a securing unit 110 attached with the hand-rests 105 and footrests 106. The securing unit 110 includes multiple chains 111 attached with handcuffs 112 beneath the hand-rests 105, which are wound over a motorized winch 113, the securing unit 110 further includes a dual pincer assembly 114 at the footrests 106 to secure the inmate’s arms and legs upon detection of aggressive behaviour by the microphone 116 and imaging unit 107.

[0031] The securing unit 110 is specifically designed to restrain an inmate safely and effectively in response to detected aggression. The securing unit 110 comprises multiple chains 111 connected to handcuffs 112 that are discreetly positioned beneath the hand-rests 105 of the seating structure 101. These chains 111 are linked to a motorized winch 113, which enables automated tightening or release of the chains 111 for restraints based on real-time behavioral assessment. In addition to restraining the hands of the inmate, the securing unit 110 features a dual pincer assembly 114 located at the footrests 106. The dual pincer assembly 114 is designed to secure the inmate’s legs by clamping gently but firmly, thereby preventing sudden or violent movements of the inmate.

[0032] Activation of the securing unit 110 is triggered by inputs from the integrated microphone 116 and imaging unit 107, which continuously monitor the inmate for signs of aggressive behavior through vocal tone analysis and facial recognition protocols. Upon detection of such behavior, the control system sends a command to the motorized winch 113 and pincer assembly 114, enabling rapid and automated restraint deployment. This responsive means ensures the safety of both the inmate and surrounding personnel, while minimizing the need for physical intervention by correctional staff.

[0033] The hand-rests 105 of the seating structure 101 are integrated with a health monitoring module 109 for monitoring vital health parameters. The health monitoring module 109 is designed to continuously assess the physiological condition of the inmate while seated. The health monitoring module 109 includes heart rate variability (HRV) sensors that track fluctuations in the time intervals between heartbeats, providing insights into stress levels and autonomic nervous system function. Complementing this, a temperature sensor is embedded within the health monitoring module 109 to monitor the inmate’s body temperature in real time, which is critical for identifying signs of fever or physiological distress.

[0034] Additionally, the health monitoring module 109 features a FBG (Fiber-Bragg Grating) sensor, a highly sensitive optical sensor capable of accurately measuring heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen levels. These readings are essential for detecting potential health anomalies or emergencies. The combined data from these sensors is transmitted wirelessly to a user interface connected to a central computing unit, enabling authorized personnel to monitor the inmate’s health status remotely and make informed decisions regarding intervention or care. This comprehensive, non-invasive monitoring approach supports proactive health management within the correctional setting, ensuring timely response to medical or psychological conditions.

[0035] The control unit assesses the collected data of the health monitoring module 109 to determine the vital health parameters of the accommodated inmate seated over the structure. The control unit monitors the inmate’s health status remotely and make informed decisions regarding intervention or care. The control unit transmits the evaluated vital health parameters to a user interface installed in a computing unit of concerned official, wirelessly linked with a control unit of the structure by means of a communication module. The user interface enables the official to view and monitor detected health parameters of the accommodated inmate.

[0036] The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the control unit. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing devices to exchange information over short or long distances for communication of wireless commands to facilitate operations of the device.

[0037] The structure is configured with a microphone 116 which works in sync with the imaging unit 107 to detect signs of distress, anxiety, depression or aggression. The microphone 116 turns the sound energy emitted by the user into electrical energy. The sound waves created by the user carry energy towards the microphone 116. Inside the microphone 116, a diaphragm, made of plastic, is present and moves back and forth when the sound wave hits the diaphragm. The coil attached to the diaphragm also moves in same way. The magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet cuts through the coil. As the coil moves, the electric current flows. The electric current from coil flows to an amplifier which convert the sound into electrical signal. The microphone 116 is coupled with an audio processing unit that employs machine learning protocols to analyze vocal patterns of the inmate and identify distress, anxiety, depression, or aggression.

[0038] The control unit linked to the microphone 116 recognizes the voice of the accommodated inmate as recorded by the microphone 116 and evaluates behavior of the inmate via the imaging unit 107. The control unit assesses the collected data of the microphone 116 and the imaging unit 107 to evaluate the inmate’s signs of distress, anxiety, depression or aggression.

[0039] In case the control unit detects the inmate is in condition of distress, anxiety, depression or aggression, staff and concerned officials are required to be protected from the accommodated inmate. The backrest 103 of the structure is mounted with a set of collapsible sheet panels 117, positioned at rear-sides of the backrests 103. The panels are designed for rapid deployment to form a pod-like enclosure around the inmate, to protect staff.

[0040] The aggressive or depressed state of the inmate is alleviated by an acupressure therapy arrangement 118 installed on the backrest 103. The acupressure therapy arrangement 118 targets key acupressure points on the inmate’s upper back, neck and shoulders, for alleviating stress and support emotional regulation.

[0041] The acupressure therapy arrangement 118 is designed as a therapeutic feature integrated into the backrest 103 of the seating structure 101, aimed at promoting stress relief and emotional regulation for the inmate. The therapy arrangement 118 comprises a plurality of motorized pressure applicators 119 strategically embedded within the backrest 103. These applicators are precisely positioned to align with key acupressure points on the inmate’s upper back, neck, and shoulders.

[0042] The motorized pressure applicators 119 are configured to operate according to a pre-defined pattern, applying variable levels of pressure to simulate the effects of manual acupressure therapy. This variable pressure allows for a dynamic therapeutic experience that is adjusted based on individual needs or real-time feedback. By targeting specific pressure points known to influence relaxation and emotional balance, the acupressure therapy arrangement 118 helps to reduce stress, ease muscle tension, and support mental well-being. The controlled application of pressure not only contributes to the inmate’s comfort but also plays a role in behavioral management by calming aggressive or anxious responses in a non-invasive manner.

[0043] The acupressure therapy arrangement 118 is synced with the health monitoring module 109 to receive real-time health feedback, based on which the pressure intensity of the applicators is adjusted, for optimizing therapy for the inmate’s physiological state.

[0044] The structure is configured with a holographic projection unit 115. In case the control unit via the microphone 116 and the imaging unit 107, detects the inmate showing progress in getting calm. The accommodated inmate is guided with projected visuals from the activation of the projection unit 115, to project three-dimensional images that displays calming visuals, personalized messages, and guided therapeutic exercises to reduce aggression and support mental well-being of the inmate.

[0045] The projection unit 115 uses interference patterns of light to create realistic three-dimensional images in mid-air. The projection unit 115 typically consists of a laser source, beam splitters, mirrors, and a holographic screen or projection surface. The projection unit 115 projects light onto a surface from multiple angles, using the interference of light waves to produce 3D images visible from different perspectives. The projected visuals guide therapeutic exercises to the inmate to reduce aggression and support mental well-being of the inmate.

[0046] The control unit is communicatively coupled to the imaging unit 107, pressure sensors 108, health monitoring module 109, securing unit 110, microphone 116, collapsible panels, and acupressure therapy arrangement 118, configured to coordinate operations and log data in the database for compliance with correctional facility protocols.

[0047] The authorized officials via the user interface remotely seeks the improvement in the inmate’s real-time therapy progress, vital health parameters, behavioural responses, and logged incidents of aggression, for enabling informed decisions on inmate placement and safety.

[0048] In addition, the rear side of the structure is vertically mounted with a robotic arm 120. A cuboidal member 121 is integrated with the arm 120 as an end effector. A metal detector sensor 122 is embedded in the member 121 to scan for metallic objects or concealed weapons.

[0049] The control unit actuates the arm 120 that works in sync with the imaging unit 107 to position the member 121 all over the body in a sequential manner. The robotic arm 120 comprises, motor controllers, arm 120, end effector and sensors. All these parts are configured with the control unit. The elbow is at the middle section of the arm 120 that allows the upper part of the arm 120 to move the lower section independently. Lastly, the wrist is at the tip of the upper arm 120 and attached to the end effector thereby the end effector works as a hand to position the member 121 around the body if the inmate, to enable the metal detector sensor 122 to scan inmate for metallic objects or concealed weapons.

[0050] The metal detector sensor 122 emits an oscillating electromagnetic field from its transmitter coil towards the inmate. As the robotic arm 120 moves to scan the inmate seated in the structure, any concealed metallic object on the inmate’s body disrupts this field by generating eddy currents within the metal. These currents create a secondary magnetic field, which is detected by the receiver coil of the metal detector sensor 122. The signal is sent to the control unit to process this disturbance and, upon confirming the presence of a metallic object,

[0051] In case the control unit via the metal detector sensor 122 evaluates presence of metallic objects or concealed weapons with the inmate, the control unit actuates an LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator 123 to display detection results for safety of staff and officials

[0052] The LED indicator 123 is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The intensity of the light is corresponding to the energy of the photons and is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor thereby illuminates lights with high intensity to display detection results for safety of staff and officials.

[0053] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0054] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the seating structure 101 as disclosed in the invention comprises of the seat, backrest 103, headrests 104, hand-rests 105, and footrest 106, integrated with the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 107 featuring the facial recognition module to identify inmates via the connected database. Pressure sensors 108 in the seat 102 confirm occupancy, while health monitoring modules 109 embedded in the hand-rests 105 use heart rate variability (HRV), temperature, and FBG sensors to collect vital health data transmitted to the user interface wirelessly linked to the central control unit. The control unit coordinates inputs from the imaging unit 107, microphone 116, sensors, securing unit 110, collapsible panels, and acupressure therapy arrangement 118, and logs the data for compliance and monitoring. The securing unit 110 features handcuff-linked chains 111 beneath the hand-rests 105 wound over motorized winches 113, and the dual pincer assembly 114 at the footrests 106, activated upon detection of aggression via the microphone 116 and imaging unit 107, which together with the machine learning audio processing unit, analyze vocal patterns for distress, anxiety, or depression. The structure also includes collapsible sheet panels 117 at the backrests 103 for rapid deployment into the protective pod, and the holographic projection unit 115 to display calming visuals and therapeutic content. The acupressure therapy arrangement 118 with motorized pressure applicators 119 embedded in the backrest 103 targets stress-relieving points, its intensity modulated based on real-time physiological data from the health module. The robotic arm 120 with the metal detector and LED indicator 123 scans for concealed weapons to enhance safety. The user interface enables authorized officials to remotely monitor therapy, health parameters, behavioral responses, and aggression incidents for informed inmate management.

[0055] Although the field of the invention has been described herein with limited reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense.
