System Description
teleCARE IP
IMPORTANT: This type of override facility is not supplied by Ascom and it must function
completely independent of the teleCARE IP wander management system. Such override
facilities are not part of the teleCARE IP wander management system, therefore Ascom
cannot accept any responsibility for these facilities.
9.7.8 Exit Detection
With exit detection functionality enabled, a resident carrying a mobile transceiver can be
allowed to leave an area that is covered by the wireless system. Exit detection functionality
can be achieved by placing exit beacons (active location beacons with “Exit Beacon”
functionality enabled) at the entrance to a site or building.
Figure 72. Exit beacon example
When a resident that is allowed to leave the site or building is passing an exit beacon, the
presence state of the resident changes to indicate that he or she is absent. For mobile
transceivers that are marked as being absent, the “device lost” messages and the “Check-
in” functionality will be suppressed for as long as the device is absent.
Note: Staff calls generated from a mobile transceiver that is marked as absent will still be
handled according the applicable assignments, provided that the mobile transceiver is in
range of the wireless system at the moment the call button is pressed.
The presence state of a mobile transceiver will refer back to “present” at the moment the
mobile transceiver comes into proximity of any other “Active” location beacon that is not
an exit beacon. The “device lost” and the “Check-in” functionality will be automatically
restored if the mobile transceiver becomes present again.
Unsupervised
If a resident is allowed to leave on its own, without the supervision of a staff member, the
mobile transceiver carried by the resident is configured to allow the presence state to
change when passing an exit beacon.
Supervised
If a resident is only allowed to leave under the supervision of a staff member (buddying),
the presence state of the mobile transceiver carried by the resident can only change to
“absent” if accompanied by a buddy.
Note: A buddy that is assigned to the resident can be an individual staff member or all staff
members.
