GEOLOCATION BRACELET, SYSTEM, AND METHODS

摘要

An identity, position, and/or health monitoring apparatus is provided. The identity, position, and/or health monitoring apparatus includes a retention feature, such as a wristband, configured to removably secure the monitoring apparatus to a person, such as a child. Particularly, the band of the monitoring apparatus may be a flexible and/or stretchable band that may be worn around a part of the body, such as a wrist or ankle. The band may be defoned by a circumferential member and/or may include first and second ends and a clasping mechanism configured to clasp and secure the first and second ends together, such as around the wrist or ankle of the user. In certain instances, the monitoring apparatus is retained within the band, and in other instances, the monitoring apparatus may be removable from the band, and the clasping mechanism may be configured for allowing the monitoring device to be removably attached therewith.

主权项

1. A wearable thin profile waterproof geolocation device for locating a human within a geographical region, the geolocation device comprising:
a substrate having an elongated body defined by a circumferential portion, the circumferential portion bounding a first surface and a second surface of the elongated body, the first surface being opposite the second surface and forming a waterproof cavity therewith, the elongated body being sized and configured to be worn around a limb of a human; and a semi-flexible digital logic circuit board arrangement contained within the cavity of the elongated body of the substrate, the semi-flexibile digital logic circuit board arrangement including a plurality of rigid circuit board portions connected by one or more flexible portions, the digital logic circuit board arrangement being positioned between the first and second surfaces of the elongated body of the substrate, one or more of the rigid circuit board portions of the digital logic circuit board arrangement including a central processing unit (CPU), a communications module, a memory, and a battery, the CPU being operably connected to both the memory and the battery,
the digital logic circuit board arrangement further including a pairing device for pairing the geolocation device with a remote master device via a wireless communication channel, the pairing being defined by a distance between the geolocation device and the master device such that if the distance between the geolocation device and the master device exceeds a predetermined range, an alarm is set off in one or more of the geolocation device and the master device.
