However, their features are not up to the mark. Some devices function properly, while others, purchased online, do not work as expected.
Project Concept
Since such a device is not currently available, a system can be designed where both the child and parent wear bands, or alternatively, the child wears a wearable device while the parent has a home-based notification system with a customizable range setting. The design follows a traditional approach, operating independently without the need for mobile phones.
Key Features:
- Both the child and parent wear bands, or alternatively, the child wears a wearable device while the parent has a notification device at home with a configurable range setting.
- Bands are connected wirelessly using Bluetooth or similar technology.
- A pre-set distance is defined (e.g., 50 feet).
- If the child moves beyond this distance, the parent's band triggers a sound or vibration.
Planned/Expected Features
- Real-time Alerts: Immediate vibration or sound when the child moves beyond the set distance.
- Customizable Distance: Set the distance according to the environment.
- Rechargeable Battery: Long-lasting and easy to recharge.
- Water-resistant: Suitable for outdoor use.
- Lightweight and Comfortable: Designed for kids to wear all day without discomfort.
When to Use the Child Safety Band?
- In Crowded Places: Malls, amusement parks, airports, temples, festivals.
- On Outdoor Trips: Parks, beaches, or hiking trips.
- During Daily Activities: Apartment buildings, playing outside of home, and markets.
Why It's Better than Conventional Methods
- Immediate Response: Alerts you the moment your child goes too far.
- Hands-Free: Unlike holding hands or keeping constant visual contact.
- Peace of Mind: Parents can relax knowing they’ll be notified if their child is too far.
Stay Connected, Stay Safe
The child safety band is a simple yet effective way to ensure your child stays within a safe distance. Protect your child, reduce anxiety, and enjoy peace of mind with this wireless alert system.
Design Considerations
- Wireless Connection: Bluetooth/LoRa/Wi-Fi
- Alert Mechanism: Sound/Vibration
- Distance Sensitivity: Adjustable distance thresholds (e.g., 20, 50, 100 feet)
- Battery Design: Customized for longer usage
- Band Material: 3D printed for comfort and durability
- Custom Chip Design: Developed using SEEED STUDIO
- Cost Minimization: Planned to be below ₹1000 while maintaining efficiency, without using mobile phones or smartwatches.
