Abstract
In a method for tracking workers in a park, work areas for the workers are defined, respectively, which include a first work area defined for a first worker. The defined work areas are transmitted to worker devices, respectively, which include a first worker device provided for the first worker. When it is determined that the location of the first worker device is outside of the first work area, the first user is prompted to input or select a report, and when the report is acquired by the first worker device, the report is wirelessly transmitted from the first worker device to the management server. An action in response to the transmitted report is determined, and assistance information corresponding to the determined action is wirelessly transmitted from the management server to one or more of the worker devices.
