The present invention relates to an anti-lost system and method, and more particularly, by installing an anti-logging tag in which a unique ID of a user is stored in possession of a real child or elderly person (hereinafter referred to as a 'user'). The present invention relates to a lost child prevention system and a method for reducing the occurrence of lost child by identifying user's personal information.

In order to prevent the loss of children in the past, children wear accessories such as necklaces to record the names, addresses and contacts of the guardians, or attach an attachment indicating the guardian's name, address, and contact information. The method of quenching was used. This allowed the person who found the missing child to contact the address and contact information recorded on the attachment or jewelry to lead the child to his or her guardian to prevent the missing child.

However, in order to use the conventional anti-loan measures, a separate attachment had to be fixed to the child. In addition, it was inconvenient to use because Mia had to record the related information directly on the attachment or jewelry.

In addition, there was no way to know the findings of the lost child only by contact or report of the person who found the lost child. In addition, despite the arrival of the information society using the Internet, information between public institutions and individuals who could encounter Mia was not shared.

In addition, there was a problem that could not find the guardian of Mia if the MIA shelter worker or even the police found Mia and there was no sign of Mia because the police agency to prevent Mia could not be connected.

In order to solve this problem, Patent Application No. 10-2002-0075583 has been filed with a location tracking system for tracking the position of the wearer, such as Mia. This will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
