In this process, the remote control server 300 may generate security tokens respectively corresponding to the parent mobile phone 100 and the child mobile phone 400 for security. Security tokens can use FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) tokens.

Accordingly, the remote control server 300 stores the parent FCM token corresponding to the parent mobile phone 100 and the child FCM token corresponding to the child mobile phone 400 in the same group, and only when the child FCM token belongs to the same group. Location information of the mobile phone 400 may be set to be checked.

The request message sent from the parent mobile phone 100 may be delivered to the remote control server 300 through HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol). At this time, the request message transmitted to the remote control server 300 may include the child's contact information and a location check control code.

Generating a location request message (S204) is a process of generating a location request message for checking the location information of the child cell phone 400 according to the request message transmitted from the parent cell phone 100.

At this time, the remote control server 300 searches for a parent FCM token corresponding to the parent mobile phone 100 and a child FCM token corresponding to the child mobile phone 400 to confirm whether they correspond to the parental relationship included in the same group. .

As a result of comparing the parent FCM token and the child FCM token, when the parental relationship included in the same group is recognized, the remote control server 300 generates a location request message for confirming the location information of the child mobile phone 400 .

Also, the location request message may include the child's contact information and a location information control code.

Transmitting the location request message (S206) is a process of transmitting the location request message generated by the remote control server 300 to the mobile phone 400 of the child. At this time, the control message may be delivered to the child mobile phone 400 through HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

Meanwhile, when the mobile phone 400 of a child is in a locked state, a location request message may not be received until the lock state is released. Accordingly, the location request message may include DirectBoot setting information capable of releasing the locked state.

The step of generating location information (S208) is a process of receiving a location request message from the mobile phone of the child 400 and generating location information according to the received location request message.

When the child's mobile phone 400 is in a locked state and the location request message includes DirectBoot setting information, location information may be generated after unlocking the child's mobile phone 400 .

The location information of the child's mobile phone 400 may include latitude information and longitude information.

Transmitting the location information message (S210) is a process of transmitting the location information message including the location information generated by the child mobile phone 400 to the remote control server 300.

Generating a location confirmation message (S212) is a process of generating a location confirmation message in the remote control server 300 based on the location information message transmitted from the child mobile phone 400.

Transmitting the location confirmation message (S214) is a process of transmitting the location confirmation message including the location information of the child mobile phone 400 from the remote control server 300 to the parent mobile phone 100.

At this time, the remote control server 300 searches for the parent FCM token stored in the user management module 310 and transmits a location confirmation message to the contact of the parent mobile phone 100 corresponding to the parent FCM token.

When the parent changes the operating mode of the child mobile phone 400 and requests location information of the child mobile phone 400 at the same time, the result of the change in the operating mode of the child mobile phone 400 is confirmed through the parent mobile phone 100 and at the same time It is possible to check the position where the mobile phone 400 of the child is placed.
