Abstract

A tracking assembly includes an electronic device. A first tracking unit is provided and the first tracking unit is selectively worn on a first user. The first tracking device is in electrical communication with the electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device programs a predetermined trigger distance into the first tracking unit. A second tracking unit is provided and the second tracking unit is selectively worn on a second user. The second tracking unit is in electrical communication with the first tracking unit to determine a location of the second tracking unit with respect to the first tracking unit. In this way the second tracking unit facilitates the first user to track the second user. The first tracking unit generates an alert when the second tracking unit moves beyond the predetermined trigger distance with respect to the first tracking unit.

Claims

1. A tracking assembly being configured to track a location of a first user with respect to a second user, said assembly comprising:

an electronic device having primary transceiver;

a first tracking unit being configured to be worn on a first user, said first tracking device being in electrical communication with said electronic device, said electronic device programming a predetermined trigger distance into said first tracking unit, said first tracking unit comprising;

a first band being configured to be worn,

a first housing being coupled to said first band,

a first processor being positioned within said first housing, said first processor selectively generating an alarm sequence,

a first transceiver being positioned within said first housing, said first transceiver being electrically coupled to said first processor, said first transceiver being in electrical communication with said primary transceiver such that said first transceiver receives said predetermined trigger distance from said primary transceiver,

a receiver being positioned within said first housing, said receiver being electrically coupled to said first processor,

a signal analyzer being positioned within said first housing, said signal analyzer being electrically coupled to said first processor,

an alarm being positioned within said first housing wherein said alarm is configured to communicate an alert to the first user, said alarm being electrically coupled to said first processor, said first processor turning said alarm on when said first processor generates said alarm sequence,

a first display being coupled to said first housing wherein said first display is configured to be visible to the first user, said first display being electrically coupled to said first processor such that said first display displays operational parameters of said first processor,

a first clock being positioned within said first housing wherein said first clock is configured to track a time of day, said first clock being electrically coupled to said first processor,

a plurality of light emitters, each of said light emitters being coupled to said first housing wherein each of said light emitters is configured to selectively emit light outwardly from said first housing, each of said light emitters being electrically coupled to said first processor,

a first input port being coupled to said first housing wherein said first input port is configured to be selectively electrically coupled to an extrinsic device, said first input port being electrically coupled to said first processor, and

a first power supply being positioned within said first housing, said first power supply being electrically coupled to said first processor, said first power supply comprising at least one battery; and

a second tracking unit being configured to be worn on a second user, said second tracking unit being in electrical communication with said first tracking unit such that said first tracking unit determines a location of said second tracking unit with respect to said first tracking unit wherein said second tracking unit is configured to facilitate the first user to track the second user, said first tracking unit generating an alert when said second tracking unit moves beyond said predetermined trigger distance with respect to said first tracking unit, said second tracking unit comprising;

a second band being configured to be worn,

a second housing being coupled to said second band,

a second processor being positioned within said second housing,

a heart beat sensor being coupled to said second housing wherein said heart beat sensor is configured to sense a heart beat of the second user when the second user wears said second band, said heart beat sensor being electrically coupled to said second processor, said first processor generating said alarm sequence when said heart beat sensor does not sense the heart beat of the second user,

a transmitter being positioned within said second housing, said transmitter being electrically coupled to said second processor, said transmitter being in electrical communication with said receiver, said signal analyzer determining a distance between said transmitter and said receiver based on a signal strength between said transmitter and said receiver, said first processor generating said alarm sequence when said signal analyzer determines said transmitter has moved beyond said predetermined trigger distance from said receiver,

a second display being coupled to said second housing wherein said second display is configured to be visible to the second user, said second display being electrically coupled to said second processor such that said second display displays operational parameters of said second processor,

a second clock being positioned within said second housing wherein said second clock is configured to track a time of day, said second clock being electrically coupled to said second processor,

a second input port being coupled to said second housing wherein said second input port is configured to be selectively electrically coupled to an extrinsic device, said second input port being electrically coupled to said second processor, and

a second power supply being positioned within said second housing, said second power supply being electrically coupled to said second processor, said second power supply comprising at least one battery.
