Abstract

This system focuses on a location-aware computing application and environment which provide preemptive information on dangerous locations in the kid's surroundings; i.e., the system alerts a kid on the move of the possible dangers whenever he/she is near accident prone areas. Using satellite-based GPS position sensing, this system can gradually learn and remember about the different locations that a kid routinely visits and/or passes by in his daily life, based on space-oriented contexts. The full set of system functionalities, including the map display, requires a graphical user interface. This Location Based Services (LBSs) can compute the serious situations and alert kids to avoid dangerous situations. Our research can simulate the virtual environment as hyperspaces for kids safety care.
