Independent claims
What is actually asserted, verbatim.
1. A method for facilitating supervision of individuals based on geofencing, the method comprising: receiving, using a communication device, at least one security parameter from at least one supervisor device associated with at least one supervisor; receiving, using the communication device, a geographical location from the at least one supervisor device; analyzing, using a processing device, the geographical location based on the at least one security parameter; generating, using the processing device, a geofence corresponding to a geographical area based on the analyzing; receiving, using the communication device, at least one supervisee data associated with a supervisee from at least one supervisee device; analyzing, using the processing device, the at least one supervisee data based on the geofence; generating, using the processing device, a supervision notification based on the analyzing of the at least one supervisee data; transmitting, using the communication device, the supervision notification to the at least one supervisor device; and storing, using a storage device, the at least one supervisee data and the supervision notification, wherein: the geofence is characterized by a geofence area corresponding to the geographical area, wherein the geofence comprises a plurality of geofence grid boxes associated with the geofence area, wherein each geofence grid box is characterized by a grid box geofence area of the geofence area, wherein the method comprises: receiving, using the communication device, at least one grid parameter from the at least one supervisor device, wherein the processing device is further configured for: analyzing, using the processing device, the at least one grid parameter; determining, using the processing device, the grid box geofence area based on the analyzing of the at least one grid parameter; and generating, using the processing device, a number of geofence grid boxes based on the determining.
10. A system for facilitating supervision of individuals based on geofencing, the system comprising: a communication device configured for: receiving, using a communication device, at least one security parameter from at least one supervisor device associated with at least one supervisor; receiving, using the communication device, a geographical location from the at least one supervisor device; receiving at least one supervisor data associated with a supervisee from at least one supervisee device; and transmitting a supervision notification to the at least one supervisor device; a processing device configured for: analyzing the geographical location based on the at least one security parameter; generating a geofence corresponding to a geographical area based on the analyzing; analyzing the at least one supervisee data based on the geofence; and generating the supervision notification based on the analyzing of the at least one supervisee data; and a storage device configured for storing the at least one supervisee data and the supervision notification, wherein: the geofence is characterized by a geofence area corresponding to the geographical area, wherein the geofence comprises a plurality of geofence grid boxes associated with the geofence area, wherein each geofence grid box is characterized by a grid box geofence area of the geofence area, wherein the communication device is further configured for receiving at least one grid parameter from the at least one supervisor device, wherein the processing device is further configured for: analyzing the at least one grid parameter; determining the grid box geofence area based on the analyzing of the at least one grid parameter; and generating a number of geofence grid boxes based on the determining.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for facilitating supervision of individuals based on geofencing. Accordingly, the method may include receiving, using a communication device, a parameter from a supervisor device associated with a supervisor and a geographical location from the supervisor device. Further, the method may include analyzing, using a processing device, the geographical location based on a security parameter and generating a geofence corresponding to a geographical area based on the analyzing. Further, the method may include receiving, using the communication device, supervisee data associated with a supervisee from a supervisee device. Further, the method may include analyzing, using the processing device, the supervisee data based on the geofence and generating a supervision notification based on the analyzing of the supervisee data. Further, the method may include transmitting, using the communication device, the supervision notification to the supervisor device.
