Security and Tracking System
First Claim
1. An apparatus adapted to be in contact with or at least in close proximity to a person and/or object, comprising a first signaling unit having means for identifying the location of said signaling unit, and a second signaling unit in communicating proximity with the first signaling unit, the second signaling unit having means for identifying the location of said second signaling unit, wherein each said signaling unit is adapted for identifying the location of said signaling unit and for transmitting the location of said signaling unita) automatically when the first and second signaling units are separated by more than a preselected distance,b) upon demand from a monitoring station or a remote source,c) upon demand from the person,d) upon loss or absence of communication from the other signaling unit,e) upon preselected intervals, orf) upon the occurrence of an event or situation.

Abstract
A security and tracking apparatus includes at least a first signaling unit and a second signaling unit, wherein the apparatus is adapted for transmitting the location of each signaling unit when the first and second signaling units are separated by more than a preselected distance. A method to locate a person, animal, or object, includes providing in contact with or at least in close proximity to the person, the animal, or the object, at least a first signaling unit and a second signaling unit, wherein each respective signaling unit is adapted for identifying the location of the signaling units and for transmitting the location of the signaling units when the first and second signaling units are separated more than a preselected distance; and activating the signaling units to transmit the location of the signaling units.
