Abstract

A child tracking device includes a transmitting device and an adhesive bandage. The transmitting device is integrated into the adhesive bandage. A child tracking system includes a transmitting device integrated into an adhesive bandage and a portable receiver device. A child monitoring device includes a transmitting device and a flexible adhesive strip. The transmitting device is coupled to a portion of the flexible adhesive strip. A method of manufacturing a tracking device includes providing a transmitting device and providing a flexible adhesive strip. Again, the transmitting device is coupled to a portion of the flexible adhesive strip.

Claims

1. A tracking device, comprising:

a transmitting device; and

an adhesive bandage, wherein the transmitting device is integrated into the adhesive bandage.

2. The tracking device of claim 1, further including a sleeve integrated into the adhesive bandage for receiving the transmitting device.

3. The tracking device of claim 1, wherein the transmitting device further includes a water or heat sensor for transmitting an alarm in the event of water or heat detection.

4. The tracking device of claim 1, further including an antenna integrated into the adhesive bandage for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal.

5. The tracking device of claim 1, wherein the transmitting device is compatible with a global positioning system (GPS) specification.

6. The tracking device of claim 1, further including a receiving device for receiving a signal from the transmitting device.

7. The tracking device of claim 6, wherein the receiving device is operable to integrate into a portable telephone, personal desktop assistant (PDA), portable music player, or portable radio.

8. A child tracking system, comprising:

a transmitting device integrated into an adhesive bandage; and

a portable receiver device which receives a signal from the transmitting device.

9. The system of claim 8, further including a sleeve integrated into the adhesive bandage for receiving the transmitting device.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the transmitting device further includes a water or heat sensor for transmitting an alarm signal in the event of water or heat detection.

11. The system of claim 8, further including an antenna integrated into the adhesive bandage for transmitting the signal.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the transmitting device is compatible with a global positioning system (GPS) specification.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the portable receiver device is operable to integrate into a portable telephone, personal desktop assistant (PDA), portable music player, or portable radio.

14. A monitoring device, comprising:

a transmitting device configurable to couple to a portion of a flexible adhesive strip for attaching to skin.

15. The device of claim 14, wherein a sleeve integrated into the flexible adhesive strip receives the transmitting device.

16. The device of claim 14, wherein the transmitting device further includes a water or heat sensor for transmitting an alarm signal in the event of water or heat detection.

17. The device of claim 14, further including an antenna configurable to be integrated into the flexible adhesive strip for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal.

18. The device of claim 14, wherein the transmitting device is compatible with a global positioning system (GPS) specification.

19. The tracking device of claim 14, further including a receiving device operable to integrate into a portable telephone, personal desktop assistant (PDA), portable music player, or portable radio for receiving a signal from the transmitting device.

20. A method of manufacturing a tracking device, comprising:

providing a transmitting device; and

providing a flexible adhesive strip, wherein the transmitting device is coupled to a portion of the flexible adhesive strip.

21. The method of claim 20, further including providing a sleeve integrated into the flexible adhesive strip for receiving the transmitting device.

22. The method of claim 20, further including providing a water or heat sensor integrated into the transmitting device for transmitting an alarm in the event of water or heat detection.

23. The tracking device of claim 20, wherein the transmitting device is compatible with a global positioning system (GPS) specification.

24. The method of claim 20, further including providing an antenna integrated into the flexible adhesive strip for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal.
