Abstract

A smart bracelet system having a first smart bracelet and second smart bracelet. The first smart bracelet comprises a first bracelet body having a first inner volume; a first attacher; a first pocket; a first powerer; a first chip; and a first illuminator. The second smart bracelet comprising; a second bracelet body having a second inner volume; a second attacher; a second pocket; a second powerer; a second chip; and a second illuminator. The first smart bracelet and the second smart bracelet are in communication with one another. The communication uses electromagnetic waves useful to enable communication between the bracelet during periods of darkness; thus tracking means are presented.
