US20150291029

1. A method for controlling an ignition system used by a particular individual, comprising the steps of: (4) (5)

the particular individual wearing an identification bracelet associated with the particular individual;

said identification bracelet communicating presence of the particular individual to a localized peripheral system, said localized peripheral system within ten meters of said identification bracelet during said step of communicating;

performing a non-alcohol drug test on the particular individual;

communicating results of said non-alcohol drug test with said localized peripheral system; and

said localized peripheral system controlling an ignition interlock of said ignition system using both: the communicated presence of the particular individual and the results of said non-alcohol drug test.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: (2) (1)

semi-permanently affixing the identification bracelet circumferentially about a body part of the particular individual to form a security bracelet, wherein said security bracelet comprises of a band of at least one rigid and stiff material circumferentially surrounding the body part of the particular individual.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein an inner perimeter of said security bracelet, on a plane crossing axially through the body part of the particular individual, is smaller than an outer perimeter of an extension of the body part along a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the axial axis on both: (1) a first longitudinal side of said identification bracelet and (2) on a second longitudinal side of said identification bracelet. (1) (0)

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of: (1) (1)

7. The method of claim 2, said step of semi-permanently affixing said security bracelet further comprising: (0) (1)

6. The method of claim 1, said step of performing a non-alcohol drug test further comprising any of the steps of: (3) (6)

testing for tetrahydrocannabinol;

testing for (−)-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol;

testing for a psychoactive constituent of cannabis;

testing for a metabolic derivative of tetrahydrocannabinol;

testing for marijuana use; and

testing for marijuana impairment.

8. The method of claim 6, said identification bracelet comprising at least one of: (3) (9)

a communication system at least partially embedded in said identification bracelet;

a radio-frequency tag at least partially embedded in said identification bracelet;

an external power supply affixed to said identification bracelet;

an internal power supply at least partially embedded into said identification bracelet;

a motion charged power supply at least partially embedded into said identification bracelet;

at least one wire embedded into said identification bracelet;

at least one fiber optic embedded into said identification bracelet;

an optical indicator on an outer surface of said identification bracelet; and

a motion sensor coupled to said identification bracelet.

9. The method of claim 8, said communication system comprising a link to at least one of: (0) (5)

a wireless internet connection;

a vehicle receiver;

a business;

a form of a phone; and

a smart phone.

10. The method of claim 8, said radio-frequency tag configured to communicate with a controller of a vehicle ignition system. (1) (0)

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of: (0) (1)

13. The method of claim 6, further comprising the steps of: (0) (2)

14. The method of claim 6, further comprising the steps of: (2) (2)

coupling said identification bracelet with a communication system of said localized peripheral system, said communication system comprising at least one of: a vehicle communication system;

a data transfer system of a phone;

a digital data transfer system of a cell phone;

a data transfer system of a smart phone; and

a wireless internet connection; and

using said communication system of said localized peripheral system to communicate with a remote system.

15. The method of claim 14, said communication system used to report a current position of the particular individual. (0)

16. The method of claim 14, said communication system used to report presence of the particular individual in at least one of: (0) (5)

a position outside of an approved geographical zone;

a position in a restricted geographical zone;

a position outside of a legal, geographically fenced, zone;

a position off of property of the particular individual; and

a position within a boundary of at least one of: a playground;

a school; and

a bar.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: (0) (1)

18. The method of claim 1, said step of communicating comprising an automated system not requiring interaction of the particular individual. (0)

19. An apparatus for controlling an ignition system used by a particular individual, comprising: (1) (4)

an identification bracelet associated with the particular individual, said identification bracelet configured to be worn by the particular individual;

said identification bracelet comprising embedded means for communicating presence of the particular individual to a localized peripheral system, said localized peripheral system within ten meters of the particular individual during use;

said localized peripheral system comprising means for receiving a result of a non-alcohol drug test; and

said localized peripheral system configured to control an ignition interlock of said ignition system using both: the communicated presence of the particular individual and the result of the non-alcohol drug test.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein said means for communicating comprises at least one of: (0) (4)
