Quick and accurate prevention system {Quick and accurate prevention system}

The present invention relates to a fast and accurate system for preventing lost children, and more particularly, by installing a tag for preventing missing children in which the user's unique ID is stored in the possessions of real children or the elderly (hereinafter referred to as'user'). It relates to a lost child prevention system and a method that can reduce the occurrence of lost children by grasping the personal information of the user.

As a method to prevent lost children, a method of attaching an attachment indicating the parent's name, address, and contact information to the user's belongings, or wearing jewelry such as a necklace that allows the parent's name, address, and contact information to be recorded. The method of making was used. Through this, the person who found the missing child contacted the address and contact information recorded on the attachments or jewelry and delivered the child to the guardian to prevent the child from being lost.

However, in order to use the conventional method for preventing lost children, a separate attachment had to be fixed to the child. In addition, it was inconvenient to use because it was necessary to directly record the related information of the lost child on the attachments or accessories.

In addition, the discovery of the missing child could only be known by contacting or reporting the person who discovered the missing child, and as a guardian of the lost child, there was no way to quickly confirm the discovery of the missing child. In addition, despite the advent of an information-oriented society using the Internet, information between public institutions and individuals who may encounter lost children was not able to be shared with each other.

In addition, there was a problem in that the lost child shelter worker or even the police found a lost child, and there was no mark on the lost child because the police agency to prevent the lost child could not be found.

In order to solve this problem, a location tracking system for tracking the location of wearers such as lost children has been filed with patent application No. 10-2002-0075583. This will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a configuration diagram of a position tracking system of a wearer for which a patent has been applied.

(Description of reference numerals for FIG. 1 is limited to the description of FIG. 1 .)

Therefore, in order to achieve the purpose of the conventional system, the radio tag 10 has its own power and radiates radio frequencies to the outside, or the tracking detector 20 continuously emits radio frequency signals in order to activate the radio tag 10. Should be doing. However, only a conventional wearer's location tracking system does not provide a solution to the power supply technology.

This is because in order for the tracking detector 20 to properly grasp the radio frequency signal radiated from the adjacent radio tag 10, the tracking detector 20 must be installed at very short distance intervals within several tens of centimeters to several meters. There is a problem that is difficult to do.

That is, even if power is placed in the radio tag 10 to radiate radio frequency signals, the distance only extends to around 1 m, and even if the external tracking detector 20 radiates radio frequency signals for activation, the limit distance is about several m. Because it is only.

After all, in order to achieve the above object through the conventional technology, it is practically impossible that the tracking detector 20 must be installed every tens of cm to several meters, which is the distance between the radio tag 10 and the tracking detector 20 that can be activated and recognized. Do.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to use a wireless ID tag that is activated only when a tag recognition device is accessed, and a tag recognition device installed in a public office or a police station is a wireless ID tag when a missing child occurs. The goal is to provide a lost child prevention system and method for finding lost children by reading and transmitting the user's unique ID embedded in the tag management device to the tag management device.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a new service for customers to affiliates, thereby improving corporate image and gaining publicity effects, giving customers trust in affiliates, and helping police agencies to resolve lost children. And to provide a method.

As described above, according to the lost child prevention system and method of the present invention, the user's unique ID is stored and transmitted, and when the child's child lost prevention tag is recognized by the tag recognition device, the parental can be checked in real time. It has the effect of improving the corporate image, product advertisement, and promotional effects by providing new services to consumers, helping the police investigate to prevent lost children.
