DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOCATING MISSING PERSONS AND/OR OBJECTS
First Claim
1. Device for locating missing persons and/or objects, which device consists of at least one locator transmitter with a transceiver and at least one locator receiver which is designed as a receiving transmitter and receives data telegrams sent from the transceiver and optically and/or acoustically displays the same as data enabling the locating,characterized inthat the locating receiver (2) includes a transmitter (4) which for the activation of a particular locator transmitter (3) outputs a signal which activates the locator transmitter (3) to transmit data telegrams, with the transmitter (4) being designed for manual operation at least if required andthat the locator transmitter (3) includes a particular individualized code (20) which is stored as data in the locator transmitter (3) and is received by the locator receiver (2) upon activation of the transmitter (4) of the locator transmitter (3).

Abstract
This invention relates to a device for locating missing persons and/or objects, which device consists of at least one locator transmitter with a transceiver and at least one locator receiver which is designed as receiving transmitter and receives data telegrams sent from the transceiver and optically and/or acoustically displays the same as data enabling the locating. The invention further relates to a method for locating missing persons and/or objects, in which method at least one locator transmitter with a transceiver communicates in a wireless fashion with at least one locator receiver with a receiving transmitter and receives data telegrams sent from the transceiver and optically and/or acoustically displays the same as data enabling the locating. In order to design a device and a method in such a way that the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided and that the locating of missing persons and/or objects is made much easier and faster it is provided that the locator receiver (2) includes a transmitter (4) which for the activation of a particular locator transmitter (3) outputs a signal which activates the locator transmitter (3) to transmit the data telegram, with the transmitter (4) being adapted for manual operation at least if required, and that the locator transmitter (3) includes a particular individualized code (20) which is stored as data in the locator transmitter (3) and which is received by the locator receiver (2) after the activation of the transmitter (4) of the locator transmitter (3).

characterized in that the locating receiver (2) includes a transmitter (4) which for the activation of a particular locator transmitter (3) outputs a signal which activates the locator transmitter (3) to transmit data telegrams, with the transmitter (4) being designed for manual operation at least if required and that the locator transmitter (3) includes a particular individualized code (20) which is stored as data in the locator transmitter (3) and is received by the locator receiver (2) upon activation of the transmitter (4) of the locator transmitter (3).
-
10. Method according to claim 8,
characterized in that the locator receiver (2) includes an identification generator (9), by means of which the data enabling the locating are output optically and/or acoustically.
-
11. Method according to claim 8,
characterized in that the data enabling the locating are generated through a GPS receiver (19) which is connected to the locator transmitter (3).
-
12. Method according to claim 8,
characterized in that the data are transmitted as a data telegram through the transceiver (15) and the receiving transmitter which are designed as radio devices for radio telephone traffic.
-
13. Method according to claim 8,
characterized in that the individualized code (20) is transmitted as a combination of a country code (21), a receiver address (22) of the searched locator transmitter (3) and a sender address (23) of the locator receiver (2) as well as an instruction (24) to be carried out.
-
14. Method according to claim 8,
characterized in that the signal for the activation of a particular locator transmitter are emitted as analogous or digital radio waves or as ultrasonic waves.
