Abstract
The existing electronic tagging system traces the location of a sex offender using triangulation by communicating with Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and mobile phone base stations. The acquired location information is used to prevent the offenders from perpetrating repeat crimes. However, the battery resources of such a system are inadequate as it has to trace the location of the moving target in real time and consumes a large amount of battery power while communicating with GPS satellites and mobile phone base stations. In addition, the systems cannot infer the mental state of the targets or detect their alcohol consumption levels, which may be necessary for the prevention of a repeat crime. The purpose of this study is to connect the Ubiquitous System Network (USN), which consumes little electricity, and Android mobile platforms, which are commonly used for machine-to-machine communication. Thus, this system will legally facilitate the protection of minors by providing information only about the target's approach to certain facilities. In addition, the system uses an Android platform to process data measured by the USN's sensors, which can also detect alcohol intake and infer the mental state of the target, and then initiates the corresponding real-time context-awareness services.
Highlights
Electronic tagging is a service that monitors the location or condition of a person wearing a tagging device using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and electronic devices
Action patterns according to movement measured by an accelerometer have been researched using various techniques [54,55,56]; the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is considered an appropriate model of the characteristics of time series data [57]
The existing electronic tagging system has problems in accomplishing low power consumption as it conducts location tracking by using a triangulation method to communicate with the GPS satellites and mobile phone base stations
Summary
Electronic tagging is a service that monitors the location or condition of a person wearing a tagging device using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and electronic devices. The tagging device is attached to a person who may commit repeat crimes, such as kidnapping, homicide, or sexual assault, and the service is used to help protect society from these offenders. Studies have been conducted on inserting a microelectronic chip in the body of a sexual offender or using a monitoring target in which bioelectronics technology is implemented [2]. The research on electronic tagging for the purpose of preventing major offences such as kidnapping, homicide, and sexual assault continues briskly. The existing electronic tagging technology has several problems in terms of its ability to facilitate the prevention of sexual assaults and other crimes: low electrical capacity of batteries, difficulty in detecting an emotion or physical change in the target and determining the target’s exact location, and so forth
