Detail of a preferred embodiment of invention
In one preferred embodiment of invention during normal operation, a child is wearing bracelet with homing device that transmit unique code. The adult responsible for the child will compute his mobile phone to connect to the child homing device and program the maximum distance that the child allowed to be. After turning on the system on the adult mobile phone, the phone will show a "keep alive" signal in a pre-configured time in order to
assured the adult that the system is on, and the homing device on the bracelet is charge and working OK.
If the child will go beyond the pre-allowed distance, the two side of the system will sound alarm, and will show alert. On the adult side, the mobile phone will display alert on mobile screen and will sound an alarm. On the child bracelet there will be flickering light bulb and voice alarm, in order that adult around the child can see and here that the child is lost and can help him look for his responsible adult.
If the responsible adult can not see the child, he can turn on a homing program on his mobile, which will indicate the direction and distance of the bracelet.
In yet another preferred embodiment of invention during normal operation the homing device will be button shaped and will be attached to a disabled weal chair. The operation is similar to the operation of child locating.
In yet another preferred embodiment of invention during normal operation the homing device will be button shaped and will be attached to one car in a parking lot. After parking the driver will program his mobile phone to receive the unique code of the button. When the driver returns to the parking lot he will turn on his mobile side program to locate the ware about of his vehicle. If the car will move from spot, while the mobile phone is not in the vehicle, the mobile screen will alert the driver that his car is on the move with audio and sound alarms.
