Fence Monitor is an application developed by researchers from the Department of Applied Informatics and the Graduate Program in Informatics at UNIRIO (Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil).
The Fence Monitor application is one of the results of research aiming at developing an computational infrastructure for monitoring people through: (i) the definition of a geographic fence, which is a virtual fence created by a person in charge who wants to monitor the user of the application. This fence delimits the places where the user of the application can move through, and; (ii) the definition of a personal fence, which is a circular region around the user of the application that moves as he moves. It aims at detecting whether other people have invaded the user's personal fence.
If the user of the application leaves the predefined fences or if he/she has his/her personal fence invaded by another person, notifications are generated for the user himself/herself and alerts are sent to the person in charge.
The registration of users and the definition of geographic and personal fences are carried out in a web application called FenceBot.
Currently, the application is in version beta 1.01 and has exclusive research purposes. Therefore, its authors are not responsible for its use outside the context of assessments conducted by researchers from the Department of Applied Informatics at UNIRIO.
