Before using the safety region function,
guardians need to set polygon safety regions

II. SYSTEM DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE

This section discusses the architecture and design

methodologies chosen for the development of the
child safety wearable devices.

2) TEMPERATURE SENSOR

In order to measure the temperature of the

surrounding of the child,a seed studio grove
temperature sensor was used,The sensor module is
equipped with a thermistor for measuring the ambient
temperature and the fluctuation with high accuracy

1)GPS location sensor

The connections between PIC microcontroller and

the GPS module establish with three wired
connection which enable the microcontroller to read
the GPS data. The GPS module receives location
information from the various satellite present in the
NAVSTAR (American satellite timing and ranging
global positioning system).It has low power
consumption and which is very compact. The output
received from the GPS module is a standard string
information which is governed by the National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) Protocol.

Once the SMS trigger text “LOCATION” is sent GSM shielding therefore the temperature sensor is
from the cellphone of the user this text is received by connected to the analog port of the base shield .The
the GSM shield which in turn triggers the temperature value is stored in a string get temp,

The latitude and longitude coordinates receive are “TEMPERATURE” by the user’s smartphone. The

depth increases also increase temperature. The
temperature range inside the borewell is monitored
with the help of PC.

The GSM shield has been programed to receive SMS

text messages from the parent cellphone. The GSM
shield will constantly be scanning the received text
messages for the specific keywords such as
“LOCATION” “TEMPERATURE” “BUZZER”. The
primary reason for using GSM shield as the mode of
communication over ZIGBEE was that this wearable
was aimed at being accessible to any cellphone user
and not necessarily an expensive smart phone user.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this system was developed to locate

children for their parents and this research showed
that GPS tracking technology is a practical option for
monitoring and tracking the children in Hospital.
This research presents design and implementation of
pic processor based children tracking system. It
primarily focuses on tracking a child’s position and
monitoring health condition of the child is sent to its
parent and control room. in future we implement
Nano technology.
