In addition, the emergency confirmation program 52 may be notified to the guardian terminal 10 so as to notify the guardian when the intervention request signal is automatically received from the guardian terminal 10. Please check the location of the ward? Emergency confirmation signals such as

In addition, the monitoring application activation program 53 grants the missing person occurrence notification signal such as "Mia has occurred. Please perform a tracking function." Receive and transmit an activation signal that activates the surveillance application 22 installed on the monitor terminal 20 within an expected search range (eg, several meters to kilometers).

For example, the present invention can perform an adaptive crowd tracking service function, and when a ward is out of the protection range, various resources or volunteer groups equipped with a nearby Wi-Fi tracking function can be quickly installed. It can be secured in a range that is adaptive to the situation and can be provided with passive or active help for tracking the ward.

Thus, in addition to preventing social problems such as disappearance and crime, efficient two-way amber alerts and disaster communications, as well as valuable personal or company assets, can be protected at low cost. When using data), it can be used as a technology and business model that is economically and industrially important because it can be efficiently carried out at low cost to the mobile advertising area.

This process can also cooperate with the server computer 50 to automatically deliver the content to the external cooperation.

Therefore, the method of operating a Wi-Fi beacon-based location tracking service according to some embodiments of the present invention is one of the features that the artificial intervention of the supervisor and the guardian is not required and is automatically performed. Is activated as a background service so it does not interfere with existing tasks. Of course, in case of automatic activation of the smartphone application, the watcher may be notified of this and may be deactivated.

That is, since the supervisor participates passively, the monitoring application 22 of the supervisor terminal 20 is inactive and no additional battery consumption occurs until the server computer 50 intervenes and falls within the tracking range. In addition, since the beacon signal is received and transmitted to the server even in the estimated area, additional battery consumption may be insignificant.

In addition, in the privacy and security issues, the watchdog terminal and the guardian's Wi-Fi beacon signal generator 1 or a smart phone are not two-way Wi-Fi communication connections, but are a one-way communication system that automatically receives only a beacon signal to a server. Since the wards are not actively exposed to the watcher, and the server computer 50 also does not have the watcher's personal information, their privacy and security issues can be minimized in connection with prevention and tracking.

The tracking range resetting program 55 may be a program for resetting the tracking range by receiving the position signal from the monitor terminal 20.

Here, the tracking range may be limited to a range very close to the position of the subject, that is, much smaller than the above-described expected monitoring range, since the position of the subject is already detected.

That is, the tracking range reset program 55 transmits an active signal for activating the monitoring application 22 installed in the monitor terminal 20 within the reset tracking range, and the monitoring application 22 installed in the remaining monitor terminal 20. ) May transmit an inactive signal to deactivate.

Accordingly, unnecessary activation of the supervisor terminal 20 can be prevented, and the current position or the expected position of the guardian can be reset more precisely.

In addition, the tracking program 56 may select a tracker that can be tracked by the guardian among the related persons terminal 30, and transmit tracking information or compensation information to the selected tracker terminal.

Here, the tracking station may be selected from volunteers who are in the vicinity of the target person among the related parties 30 or who can reach the target person more quickly.
