Abstract

This is a satelite tracking device, GPS with an integrated mapping system, that locates and monitors a child's whereabouts at all times.
The smaller device that is attached to the child is a direct link to the main device. The smaller devices consist of a chip encased in a durable plastic shell that come in five different designs. They smaller device is run by a circular battery.
Once the power button is turned on the main device, the integrated mapping system comes onto the screen.
The left and right arrow buttons at bottom center will allow you to scroll through to the city in which you live, once that is determined the center circular button is pressed to indicate selection. Again with the left and right arrow buttons a choice of district is made, once the district, eg. Verdun is selected, the center circular button is again pressed to indicate that selection has been made. The next selection to be made is the 5 block radius where your child will be playing. Pressing the circular button will then lock your child into that location and the device will start monitoring. Should any errors be made while making selections, simply press the reset button and the last entry will erase or answer no to the text message that appears after having made a choice. Pressing the reset button for more that 5 seconds will erase all entries, bringing you back to your original selection, the city map.
The smaller devices are equipped with an alarm system. Once the power of the main device is turned on, it automatically becomes linked to the smaller device.
The integrated compass constantly monitors direction, the movement of your child.
Should your child stray cut of range or be taken, the speaker on the upper left hand side of the outer rim of the disc will beep to alert the parent that the child has stepped out of the 5 block radius that it was locked into. The parent then need only upscale to the district map to locate their child. Should the district map not register the child the parent should again upscale to the city nap to see where the child can be found.
The device will scroll to enlarge the range or downsize to pinpoint to a specific location.
Should the abductors travel into the next city or town, the device will accommodate police by switching from one town or city to another. Pressing the reset button will allow police to access the other city maps integrated in the system so that no trail goes cold.
To activate the child's alarm, the police or parents need only press the button on the top right side of the outer rim and the alarm will go off on the child's device.
The encasement of the clip is not shown, for the simple reason that people who are in the business of harming or stealing our children are not wise to what they are looking for.
In summary the main device LOCATE and the smaller device ME go hand in hand.
This device's main purpose is to locate a missing child. This device can also aid in monitoring an aging parent or any person who needs a watchful eye. LOCATE ME is geared to protect the ones we love and bring them home safe.

The smaller devices are a direct link to the main system that acts as a radar.
The main device has a charger to repower, the smaller devices are run by a circular battery.
Once the power button is turned on the main device, the integrated mapping system comes onto the screen.
The left arrow button at bottom center will allow you to scroll through to the city in which you live in order to start pinpointing your location. Once that selection is determined the center circular button is pressed to indicate selection. Again with the left arrow button a choice of district is made, once the district is found, eg.
Verdun the center circular button is again pressed to indicate that a district has been selected. The next selection to be programed is the five block radius where your child is supposed to be.
Here you scroll to the street your child will be playing on and automatically the device will secure her or him in that five block radius. Should any errors occur while programming the location, simply press the reset button and the last entry will erase, keep doing so and every entry preceding will erase as well.
Once you have a visual on your child and the streets surrounding him or her you can lock them into this location by pressing the bottom center button to tell the device to start monitoring.
The symbol of an angel represents your child on the map.
The smaller devices are equipped with an alarm system and a power swith. Once the power has been turned on the smaller device, it becomes linked to the main device which the parent or caregiver carries with them.
The integrated scan constantly monitors the movements of your child so that wherever the parent is, he or she can keep an eye on their child without physically being there.
Should your child stray out of range or be taken, the speaker on the main device will beep to alert the parent that the child has stepped away from the five block radius. The parent then need only press the bottom right arrow to switch to the district map screen, to see where the child can be found, should the district map not register your child, the right arrow button should again be pressed to locate your child on the city map.
The device will scroll to enlarge the range or downsize depending on the need to pinpoint to a specific location.

LOCATE ME
The main device has a compass the indicates direction, North, South, East, West. The button at the top center can be pressed to activate the compass. A beam of light will travel the circular rim of the outer portion of the device and help send the people searching for the child in the right direction. It is an added measure to better ensure the location of the missing child. This compass tool can be used at any time, either in the five block radius, the district area or the city map.
At the point where you have gone upscale to the city map, the police should be called in to take over. With the main device in hand the police will be well equipped in the pursuit of the kidnappers and of your child.
Armed with the main device, the police will be able to keep tabs even though your child may be in a moving vehicle. Should the kidnappers travel travel into the next city or town, the device will then again accommodate the police to locate and position the child's whereabouts. The police need only press the reset button once they are assured that the city's name is definite and reprogram to start tracking in the new terntory.
Pressing the reset button will allow police to access the other city maps integrated in the system so that no trail goes cold.
Often times a child is hidden in a basement of a complex, in an apartment building with many units or taken to a busy area such as a shopping center or amusement park. These are just a few examples of how a kidnapper will use his or her surroundings to their advantage when trying to hide the child. The signal will not only pick up the location but will pinpoint exactly once the alarm is sounded. Activating the alarm on the child's device will make it difficult not to hear once in the vicinity. The integrated alarm on the child device is very distinct and once sounded there will be no mistake in your child's location.
To set off the child's alarm, the police or the parent need only press the alarm button on the main device and the alarm will sound.
The alarm system on the child will only be activated when one is absolutely sure that the child's alarm sound can be heard within ear shot.
The alarm is piercing. Bystanders will also be alerted that something is wrong and will be instrumental in the rescuing of the child by pointing the way. Another added measure.
The smaller devices are designed to be discreet, so that any people in the business of harming or stealing our children would not be wise to what they are looking for so that it could easily be removed.

LOCATE ME
The purchase of the smaller devices are all coded with a number to identify the main device to the smaller device. Each purchase will be registered, the parent showing proof of identification to further the security measure.
The casing on all the devices are very durable and waterproof. Your child can play without fear of damaging the ME device (smaller device's name).
In summary the main device LOCATE and the smaller device ME go hand in hand.
This device's main purpose is to locate a missing child. This device can also help people who need a little extra help monitoring an aging parent or family member that works late at night and is intimidated by their surroundings. LOCATE ME is geared to protect and save the lives of our loved ones and should they go missing, to bring them home safe.
