INTRODUCTION

In Philippines, one of the problems of people is the security of their children. Keeping the child secured from dangerous surroundings is a top priority. Nowadays there are so many emergencies. So, researchers came up with the idea of making a smart watch that will keep the parents/guardians away from worrying when their children are away. Like on kids, parents come with a wide range of challenges, but kids are safe even when they’re out of sight. Fortunately, with wearable GPS trackers for kids, the challenge of parenthood just got a little easier. As kids grow, they’ll want to explore, push boundaries, and make their own rules. Whether children is on a family outing, at an amusement park, or on a school trip, tracking devices for kids give you one less thing to worry about. And whether children is starting kindergarten or is in middle school, kids GPS smart watch and other wearable GPS technology help you to keep tracking of children.

Whenever children come home late at night, you cannot help but worry. But with this smart watch with GPS Tracker you can track children whenever they go. The GPS Tracker is inserted inside the smart watch and will be connected into a mobile device who acts as the GPS receiver. GPS Tracker is a device with integrated GPS receiver that is worn as a single unit strapped onto a wrist, in the manner of a bracelet. The watch can have other features and capabilities depending on its intended purpose and be a smart watch. According to Wu, et. al., ( 2009), the prevailing invention relates a GPS tracking system, comprising a monitoring and positioning device, a server, a positioning display unit, and a database. For the reason that tracking and positioning tool only sends an internet protocol (IP) data and a verification records once when its miles related to the internet, and sends a positioning data only when a position of the monitoring and positioning device is to be shown on the positioning display unit, the bandwidth can be saved.

Objective of the Study Generally, the main objective of the study is to develop a smart watch GPS tracker application. Specifically, it aims to: 1. Design and develop a smart watch GPS locator tracker. 2. Determine the response time of the GPS in giving location especially in poor signal environment. 3. Implement and the prototype.

Significance of the Study This study will help parents, teachers and school administrators to track the students during school hours. Accidents due to student’s ditching class will be avoided because they will be informed when the student recedes in the school premises. In this way, they can avoid having conflict with the school security. It is important because having this device the people will easily locate or tracked the missing person who is wearing this smart watch with GPS Tracker.

Scope and Limitations The researchers will focus on developing and design of a smart watch GPS tracker. The study will include the data analysis of prototype when it comes to implementation of this prototype and test to assure the accuracy of the device in giving the location considering the places that are poor in signal. Time and Place of the Study This research study will be conducted in the Samuel Christian College on October 2018 until March 2019. Testing and evaluation will be conducted to gather data need in the development of the prototype.

Conceptual Framework The researcher will use smart watch. The process including design, construct test and evaluate are discussed in the methodology. After doing all the process, the researchers developed a smart watch GPS tracker application.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

GPS. According to Christensson, (2006).Global Positioning System is a satellite navigation system used to determine the ground position of an object. GPS Tracking system GPS tracking software is designed to collect location data and visualize it on map. Tracking device usage is very simple and convenient, all records are available in real time, data is saved to database and can be accessed any time in the future. Trackers send various information, such as coordinates, speed, altitude and other. GPS Receivers Work. According to Brain and Harris, (2006). A GPS usually mean

a GPS

receiver.

The Global

Positioning

System(GPS)

is

actually

a constellation of 27 Earth-orbiting satellites (24 in operation and three extras in case one fails). The U.S. military developed and implemented this satellite network as a military navigation system, but soon opened it up to everybody else. A GPS receiver's job is to locate four or more of these satellites, figure out the distance to each, and use this information to deduce its own location. This operation is based on a simple mathematical principle called trilateration Trilateration. According to zahradnik, F. (2018) technique used by GPS Device to determine user position. By constantly receiving and analyzing radio signals from multiple GPS satellites. According to Panchai, N. (2016). GPS Based Off-line Tracking System There is tremendous demand for object tracking application for the business process. The real-time tracking information on valuable things and assets could solve many

problems in the world. GPS is the Global Positioning System which provides the location, using offline and on-line both in any atmospheric conditions. There are several types of GPS tracking system available in the market. Offline GPS tracking system, GPRS based tracking, SMS-based tracking, Android phone based GPS tracking applications etc. The GPS-based off-line tracking and alert system works offline without using the Internet. When the GPS in a device is on the GPS satellites broadcast the signals and GPS receivers uses the signals and provides the latitude, longitude, and altitude information along with the time. A Variety of location tracking devices can be used e.g. Mobile phones, GPS devices, GPS watches etc. With the help of middle-ware services, it retrieves the location data of the device and upload it to the cloud database and keeps on updating the location automatically within defined interval of time.

Advantages of Smart Watch

According to Pascoe, J., & Thomson, K. (2007). Smart watches have the advantage of always being with the user due to their wrist-watch form factor, which allows for information access at the flick of the wrist, and also makes it. Unlike the smart phone interface, smart watches allow a user to have both hands free thus enabling the user to be unhindered while accessing information. Found that it aided users in tracking physical movements through the use of the watch’s accelerometer, where the force exerted on the watch could be used in gesture controlled applications. The wristwatch form factor is already socially accepted, where users are familiar with the commonly available wristwatch and feel comfortable wearing them. GPS tracking watches

According to Madarana, (2017). GPS tracking some other position using a watch. Tracker first gets positions and sends data using GPRS network to the tracking Graphical Interface which may be a watch or something and then watch gets data from the other device and then it will connect to Google Maps or some service like that and requests location sent then it plots the point where the other device is kept. If it is moving also using a real-time loop you can track the device.

METHODOLOGY Research Design Design Phase The researchers designed the development of smart watch GPS tracker application and consider the materials that will use. Assembly Phase The researchers will assemble all the materials needed to construct the development based on its design. The smart watch. Evaluation Phase Test its performance and evaluate the capability of the prototype.
