  Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the center server 40 receives the information S1 and S2 from the school-side reading gate 22 (step St8), the IC tag information S1 and the child information registered in the management server 30 are received. Based on D1, the e-mail address of the target child and the user terminal 60 registered in association with the target child is specified, and information is sent to the user terminal 60 by e-Mail etc. indicating that the child has entered school. (Step St9), the child tracking (monitoring) mode is terminated (Step St10). When leaving school, the reverse process is performed.

  FIG. 13 shows that the information transmission device 10 attached to the child's shoes is read by the reading device 23 on the school road and sent to the center server 40 by the above operation. It is a schematic representation of how the position information, status information, and friend information of a subject analyzed by execution are provided to the user terminal 60.

  That is, the information transmission device 10 having the IC tag part 11 and the pressure sensor part 12 is attached to the shoe sole of the child, the IC tag information S1 corresponding to the child ID recorded in the IC tag part 11, and the shoe pressure Is read by the reading device 23 installed on the school road. The reading device 23 distributes the read IC tag information S1 and pressure sensor information S2 to the center server 40 via the wireless ad hoc network 20. Based on the distribution information and the child information D1 and reading device information D2 registered in the management server 30, the center server 40 detects 1) the position information of the child for each child ID and is out of school route. 2) Detecting the child's condition based on the frequency of pressure detection, ie, walking, running, taking off shoes, etc. 3) Other IC tags detected simultaneously by the reader 23 It integrates with the information S1 and detects which friend it is with. These analysis results are recorded in the DB 45 of the center server 40 and provided to the user terminal 60 via the Internet / phone network 50.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, by combining the IC tag and the pressure sensor, in addition to monitoring the child's position information, the child is walking, running, taking off shoes, etc. It is possible to further understand the friends who are with the child and contribute to the safety and security of the child.

  According to this, the guardian of the child can monitor the state until the child leaves the home and goes to school while staying at home. Also, when leaving the school, the time of leaving the school gate is reported, and the state until returning home can be monitored in the same way. Furthermore, in addition to the location information of the children who are going to / from school, it is possible to grasp nearby friend information, and thus sighting information can be collected more efficiently. In addition, if it is deemed that the student has left the school route or if there is a risk of an incident, a warning can be received and prompt action can be taken.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since a wireless ad hoc network composed of readers is used as a network, even if a reader on the communication path fails, a communication path via another reader is automatically set. The communication path can be secured by bringing the reader into an area where the network is disconnected in an emergency.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the information transmission device is activated by the action from the reading device and uses a so-called passive device that transmits information, so that power saving can be achieved.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the monitoring time is from the time when the child leaves the house until the child passes the school gate, and when the child leaves the school, the child leaves the school and then passes the home entrance. Therefore, the communication load of the apparatus in other time zones can be minimized.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the pressure sensor no longer senses pressure, it is possible to predict an emergency such as guessing that it is impossible to walk due to an accident or the like.

  Furthermore, according to this embodiment, in the unlikely event that a child is missing, it is possible to identify a child who was nearby based on the information at the time of the last detection, thereby collecting sighting information Can be made more efficient.
