Abstract

A child tracking system includes an electronic device that may be manipulated. A pair of tracking units is provided. Each of the tracking units may be worn by an associated one of an adult and a child. Each of the tracking units may be in communication with a global positioning satellite. Thus, a physical location corresponding to each of the tracking units may be identified. Each of the tracking units is in electrical communication with the electronic device. Thus, the electronic device may display the physical location corresponding to each of the tracking units. Each of the tracking units has a fingerprint reader to read fingerprints.

11. A child tracking system comprising:

an electronic device being configured to be manipulated, said electronic device having a base transceiver, said electronic device being configured to store an electronic control program, said electronic device selectively determining a trigger distance, said electronic device including a display, said electronic device selectively emitting an audible alarm;

a pair of tracking units, each of said tracking units being configured to be worn by an associated one of a adult and a child, each of said tracking units being configured to be in communication with a global positioning satellite thereby facilitating a physical location corresponding to each of said tracking units to be identified, each of said tracking units being in electrical communication with said electronic device wherein said display is configured to display the physical location corresponding to each of said tracking units, each of said tracking units having a fingerprint reader wherein fingerprint reader is configured to read fingerprints, each of said tracking units comprising;

a bracelet being configured to be worn on a wrist, said bracelet having a cut defining a first end and a second end of said bracelet, said first end being matable to said second end, said bracelet having an outwardly facing surface,

a processor being positioned within said bracelet, said processor selectively generating an unlock sequence,

an electronic memory being positioned within said bracelet, said electronic memory being electrically coupled to said processor, said electronic memory being configured to store a pass code for an authorized user,

said fingerprint reader being positioned on said outwardly facing surface wherein said fingerprint reader is configured to be manipulated thereby facilitating said fingerprint reader to read a fingerprint, said fingerprint reader being electrically coupled to said processor wherein said processor is configured to compare the fingerprint to the pass code in said electronic memory, said processor generating said unlock sequence when the fingerprint matches the pass code,

an electronic lock being coupled to said first end of said bracelet, said electronic lock being electrically coupled to said processor, said electronic lock selectively engaging said second end of said bracelet wherein said electronic lock is configured to retain said bracelet on the wrist, said electronic lock disengaging from said second end when said processor generates said unlock sequence wherein said bracelet is configured to be removed from the wrist,

a gps receiver being positioned within said bracelet, said gps receiver configured to be in electrical communication with the global positioning satellite, said gps receiver being electrically coupled to said processor,

a transmitter being positioned within said bracelet, said transmitter being electrically coupled to said processor, said transmitter being in electrical communication with said base transceiver wherein said transmitter is configured to communicate the physical location of said bracelet to said electronic device, and

a power supply, said power supply being positioned within said bracelet, said power supply being electrically coupled to said processor, said power supply comprising at least one battery; and

said pair of tracking units including an adult tracking unit and a child tracking unit, said adult tracking unit being configured to be worn by an adult, said child tracking unit being configured to be worn by a child, said electronic device emitting said audible alarm when said child tracking unit moves beyond said trigger distance from said adult tracking unit wherein said electronic device is configured to alert the adult that the child has moved beyond said trigger distance from the adult.
