Security and tracking system
First Claim
1. A security and tracking apparatus comprising:
- (a) a first signaling unit having means for identifying the location of said first signaling unit;
(b) a second signaling unit in communicating proximity with the first signaling unit, said second signaling unit having means for identifying the location of said second signaling unit; and
, (c) means for transmitting the location of said signaling units when the first and second signaling units are separated by more than a preselected distance.

Abstract
A security and tracking apparatus is provided, comprising at least two signaling units in communicating proximity, and means for identifying the location of the signaling units. In one embodiment, a security and tracking apparatus is provided, comprising at least two signaling units in communicating proximity, and means for identifying and automatically transmitting the location of the signaling units when the signaling units are separated by more than a preselected distance. In a preferred embodiment, a method is provided to locate a person, an animal, or a material asset, comprising providing in contact with the person, animal, or material asset, at least two signaling units in communicating proximity, wherein at least one signaling unit is small and hidden and securely attached to the person, animal, or material asset, and the signaling units having means for identifying the location of the signaling units to a monitoring station; activating means for identifying the location of the signaling units by referencing the global positioning satellite (GPS) system; and notifying the monitoring station of said geographic location.
