Internet of things (IoT) child tracking system
First Claim
1. An Internet of Things (IoT) security system comprising:
- one or more attachable security devices, each comprising an IoT device to establish local wireless connections with one or more IoT hubs within a location, each attachable security device to be attached to a child registered with the security system and comprising a switch to trigger upon detachment of the attachable security device from the child;
a plurality of kiosks, each kiosk comprising;
a monitor to provide instructions to parents for registering and de-registering children with the security system;
an input device to receive input from the parents during a registration process and a de-registration process to register and de-register the children, respectively;
a camera to capture a photo of a child to be registered with the security system;
an IoT hub to establish a first set of local wireless communication channels with the IoT devices of the security bracelets, the IoT hub to further provide connectivity among each of the kiosks through a second set of one or more communication channels;
the IoT hub to associate the photo of the child with an IoT device of a security bracelet provided to the child, the association being stored in one or more of the kiosks or in a network service;
an IoT device of an attachable security device to transmit a first alarm to a first kiosk responsive to the switch triggering upon detachment of the attachable security device; and
