Design of Children Monitoring Application for Outdoor Activities Using a Smart Watch

Abstract

The background of this research is the increasing of criminalization in children, one of which is kidnapping of children, Meanwhile many parents have to work so they don't have enough time to be always close to their children. The purpose of this research is to develop applications that can help a parents to monitor the movements of their children's outdoor activities. The application uses a smart watch to get the child's GPS position and at the same time the device sends the last position of the child to the firebase database server. Parents can monitor the child's movements through the android smart phone device in realtime. The application design uses several UML (unified modeling Language) diagrams namely use case diagrams, activity diagrams and squence diagrams. This application requires data objects including parent, child, family and child's position (latitude and longitude). The main use cases in this application are sending position, case view, child location on map and view path of moving each child. The application can run only if there is an internet connection and the child uses smart time.
