U.S. Patent : #6,262,660

Inventor : Erica Marmon Segale and Christopher Segale

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Child Proximity Transmitter we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The Child Proximity Transmitter is designed to alert a person located at a central station when a remote device attached to a person or object moves within a predetermined distance from the central station. The central station generates an alarm signal which varies in strength depending on the proximity of the person or object wearing the remote device.

Objects of the present invention:

• to provide a locator system able to alert a person located at a central base unit when a remote unit enters an area being monitored by the central base unit
  
  
• to provide a locator system including a remote unit which is attached to a person or object to be monitored, the remote unit being able to communicate with the central base unit causing the central base unit to generate an alarm signal when the remote unit moves within a predetermined distance from the central base unit
  
  
• to provide a locator system wherein the central base unit transmits signals to and receives signals from the remote unit at a predetermined frequency
  
  
• to provide a locator system wherein the central base unit will respond to the signal transmitted by the remote unit when the remote unit is within the predetermined distance from the central base unit by generating an alarm signal
  
  
• to provide a locator system wherein the strength of the signal transmitted by the central base unit is adjustable to thereby adjust the predetermined distance
  
  
• to provide a locator system wherein the central base unit includes at least one of an audible and visual alarm when the remote unit moves within a predetermined distance from the monitoring unit
  
  
• to provide a locator system wherein the remote unit may be secured to a book bag of a child thereby activating the central base unit to generate an alarm signal when the child is approaching the residence containing the central base unit
  
  
• to provide a locator system wherein the activation of the alarm in the central base unit alerts the guardian of the child that a school bus in which the child is riding is approaching
  
  
• to provide a locator system that is simple and easy to use
  
  

Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.
