ABSTRACT:
A tour monitor system includes a portable tour monitor and a central programming/report generating computer. The tour monitor includes a bar code reader, an alphanumeric display, and an alphanumeric keyboard. The tour is organized into zones, each including a set of checkpoints, wherein each checkpoint is labeled by a bar code. The tour monitor is programmed to prompt the guard through the tour by displaying the names of successive zones. In addition, individual checkpoints can be designated as higher or lower priority checkpoints, and the tour monitor is programmed to alert the guard if higher priority checkpoints are missed, and to require the guard either to scan the missed higher priority checkpoint or to provided an override signal. The tour monitor also allows the guard to enter alphanumeric messages which are stored in combination with the scanned checkpoint codes in a log. This log is then transmitted to the programming/report generating computer for analysis. Preferably, reports are organized in terms of zones, and reports specifically highlight higher priority checkpoints which were missed. By organizing the tour into zones and checkpoints, the tour monitor can be programmed more efficiently.
