Description

Automatic alarm system and method for monitoring child safety

Technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of monitoring child safety, and in particular to an automatic alarm system and method for monitoring child safety.

Background technique

The fast-paced work and life of today makes it easier for some guardians (such as parents) to take care of children (including self-aware young children, school-age children). As a result, children’s loss, child trafficking and vicious kidnappings have occurred from time to time, which has caused great concern among guardians, society and government departments. At present, the abduction of children is high-risk and the nature is bad. The children and guardians of the abducted are seriously injured. Although school-age children have a certain sense of autonomy and ability, they can use communication tools to tell parents or alarms when they are in danger. However, when children are abducted and abducted, criminals usually remove children in the first time. The well-known communication tools such as mobile phones cut off the connection between children and the outside world. This allows the guardian and the police to rescue the lost child in time while searching for the child's loss, not being able to grasp the child's specific location in the first time.
