Abstract: This is a satelite tracking device, GPS with an integrated mapping system, that locates and monitors a child's whereabouts at all times. The smaller device that is attached to the child is a direct link to the main device. The smaller devices consist of a chip encased in a durable plastic shell that come in five different designs. They smaller device is run by a circular battery. Once the power button is turned on the main device, the integrated mapping system comes onto the screen. The left and right arrow buttons at bottom center will allow you to scroll through to the city in which you live, once that is determined the center circular button is pressed to indicate selection. Again with the left and right arrow buttons a choice of district is made, once the district, eg. Verdun is selected, the center circular button is again pressed to indicate that selection has been made. The next selection to be made is the 5 block radius where your child will be playing. Pressing the circular button will then lock your child into that location and the device will start monitoring. Should any errors be made while making selections, simply press the reset button and the last entry will erase or answer no to the text message that appears after having made a choice. Pressing the reset button for more that 5 seconds will erase all entries, bringing you back to your original selection, the city map. The smaller devices are equipped with an alarm system. Once the power of the main device is turned on, it automatically becomes linked to the smaller device. The integrated compass constantly monitors direction, the movement of your child. Should your child stray cut of range or be taken, the speaker on the upper left hand side of the outer rim of the disc will beep to alert the parent that the child has stepped out of the 5 block radius that it was locked into. The parent then need only upscale to the district map to locate their child. Should the district map not register the child the parent should again upscale to the city nap to see where the child can be found. The device will scroll to enlarge the range or downsize to pinpoint to a specific location. Should the abductors travel into the next city or town, the device will accommodate police by switching from one town or city to another. Pressing the reset button will allow police to access the other city maps integrated in the system so that no trail goes cold. To activate the child's alarm, the police or parents need only press the button on the top right side of the outer rim and the alarm will go off on the child's device. The encasement of the clip is not shown, for the simple reason that people who are in the business of harming or stealing our children are not wise to what they are looking for. In summary the main device LOCATE and the smaller device ME go hand in hand.  This device's main purpose is to locate a missing child. This device can also aid in monitoring an aging parent or any person who needs a watchful eye. LOCATE ME is geared to protect the ones we love and bring them home safe.
