Abstract

A mobile phone control device for assisting search for people and things comprises a central processing unit (CPU), a built-in memory chip, a signal detector, a direction judging circuit unit, a distance judging circuit unit, an audio circuit unit, a screen and a target signal emitting chip, thereby being capable of locating a missing person or a stolen thing installed with the target signal chip. The mobile phone equipped with the device receives a signal from the signal emitting chip and judges the direction and distance of the object the target signal chip disposed relative to the mobile phone. Thereby, a signal-emitting chip can be installed within a person or a thing for preventing missing or theft.

Claims

1. A mobile phone control device for assisting search for people and things, comprising:

a plurality of target signal-emitting chips each pre-installed on a search target for providing a target signal receivable by said mobile phone within a predetermined range;

a central processing unit for controlling receiving, judging and comparing said target signal and outputting a control signal;

a built-in memory chip for storing a set of codes each corresponding to a target signal-emitting chip installed in a search target;

a signal detector capable of receiving said target signal from anyone of said target signal-emitting chips and relaying said target signal to said central processing unit;

a direction judging circuit unit for receiving said target signal from said central processing unit, analyzing and determining a direction selected from right, left, front and rear, said direction judging circuit unit transmitting a direction signal back to said central processing unit;

a distance judging circuit unit for receiving and analyzing the strength of said target signal from said central processing unit, said distance judging circuit unit transmitting a strength signal back to said central processing unit for computing a distance corresponding to said strength signal;

an audio circuit unit capable of sending off sound if said strength signal produced in said distance judging circuit exceeds a predetermined level; and

a screen for receiving said direction signal and said distance signal from said central processing unit and displaying the direction and the distance of said search target;

whereby said mobile phone control device can provide a searching function of locating a person or an object attached with anyone of said target signal-emitting chips.
