1. A system for monitoring in real-time movement or location, comprising:
- (a) at least one sensor, comprising a three-axis accelerometer chip and a first radio frequency chip (RFIC), for detecting movement of at least one user or at least one article and transmitting a signal, comprising at least one parameter data, via a wireless ad hoc network system periodically;
(b) at least one receiver, comprising a second radio frequency chip (RFIC) and being connected to the sensor via the wireless ad hoc network system, in which the second RFIC measures strength of the signal transmitted by the sensor, to receive the parameter data of the user or the article, and via a local area network system the parameter data is transferred to a network address periodically;
(c) a server unit for setting at least one information of the user or the article, linking the information to the parameter data received from the receiver, and converting the parameter data into signal data by an operation unit of the server unit; and
(d) a database unit being connected to the server unit for storing the signal data of the user or the article, for editing and publishing the signal data in a website via the server unit, and presenting the movement or location of the user or the article in a web browser.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for monitoring in real-time movement or location, comprising at least one sensor, at least one receiver, a server unit and a database unit. Regarding the system of the present invention, the signals of the sensors attached on users or articles are transmitted to a website via a Wireless Ad Hoc Network and a local area network to real-time monitor movement or location for users or articles. The present invention further provides a method for monitoring in real-time movement or location for users or articles.

14. A method for monitoring in real-time movement or location, comprising steps of:
-
(a) setting at least one information of a user or an article in a server unit; (b) detecting movement of the user or the article by a three-axis accelerometer chip, included in a sensor carried thereby, and transmitting at least one signal, comprising parameter data, periodically by a first radio frequency chip, included in the sensor, via a wireless ad hoc network system; (c) measuring strength of the signal transmitted by the sensor, and receiving the parameter data of the user or the article by a second radio frequency chip; (d) transmitting the parameter data and the signal to a network address periodically by the receiver via a local area network system; (e) linking the information of the step (a) to the parameter data received from the receiver; (f) converting the parameter data and the signal into signal data by an operation unit of the server unit; and (g) storing the signal data in a database unit, and editing and publishing in a website by the server unit so as to present the movement or location of the user or the article in a web browser. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
