Wearable Tracking Bracelet With Hidden Camera and Locking Closure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable GPS tracking devices lack secure attachment mechanisms and hidden cameras for safety, and do not notify guardians of deviations from routine or tampering.
Innovation Solution
A wearable location tracking device with an electronic locking closure, hidden camera, and GPS system that notifies guardians of deviations and tampering, featuring a backup physical key lock and voice activation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wearable GPS tracking device is designed without a secure locking mechanism, then the device is easier to wear and remove, but the device may be accidentally removed or lost
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two separate components: a wearable bracelet portion and a separate locking mechanism portion. The locking mechanism can be independently applied to secure the bracelet, allowing the bracelet to be easily worn and removed when the lock is disengaged, while providing secure attachment when locked. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by separating the functions of easy wearability and secure locking.
2Ease of operation
If a camera is made visible on the device, then the user can easily access and operate it, but the device loses safety protection against tampering and kidnapping
Solution Approach 1:
The camera is nested within a hidden compartment or cover on the device. The camera remains accessible to the user through a secure opening or button mechanism, but is not visible from the outside. This nesting approach allows the camera to be operated while maintaining the safety protection against tampering and kidnapping, as the camera and its opening are concealed within the device structure.
3Device complexity
If the device does not notify guardians of deviations from routine, then the device structure remains simple, but guardians cannot be alerted to safety concerns
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates a feedback mechanism that monitors the wearer's location and routine patterns, comparing current position against established safe zones and routines. When deviations are detected, the system automatically sends notifications to guardians through a communication interface. This feedback approach provides reliable safety monitoring while keeping the notification system relatively simple, as it relies on basic location tracking and comparison algorithms rather than complex analysis systems.

AI summary
A system and method for using a wearable location tracking and monitoring device that provides users with a wearable location tracking and monitoring device to notify a guardian, a caretaker, or a security person whenever the user of the bracelet is off from their particular routine or if the bracelet is being tampered with. The system includes a video camera having a lens element that is positioned beneath a transparent shroud element that resembles a jewel, such that the lens element is hidden from plain view. The system also includes a locking closure window disposed over an electronic locking closure to view a pair of extensions that are inserted into a corresponding pair of apertures that are pushed together to lock the tracking bracelet. The overall system includes a method of use and a non-transitory computer storage media to execute the overall method.
