Key tracker and method for tracking systems

摘要

An apparatus for locating misplaced keys and other objects designed with a signal transceiver and equipped with a GPS tracking chip. During use, when the user has lost an object, such as a set of keys, or any other object to which the tracking device is attached, the user may transmit signal to the tracking device on a smartphone or tablet belonging to the user via a downloadable mobile application synced for use with the tracking device in order to easily guide the user to the lost object.
