About Mimori GPS Talk
“Mimori GPS” is a monitoring GPS terminal for children.
By installing a special app on a parent’s smartphone and linking it with “Mimori,” the smartphone app can check the child’s current location and travel route, and if the child enters a dangerous place, the app will be used on the parent’s behalf. “Mimori” is a monitoring service that allows children to be warned directly by voice. The new “talk function” in “Mimori GPS Talk” not only allows parents to send recorded voices as messages, but also children’s recorded voices to be sent as messages to parents. This makes it possible to have two-way conversations and realize safer monitoring. The free school work support system “Machicomi”
(https://machicomi.jp/), which is used by more than 14,000 facilities and more than 2.6 million people (*) in 47 prefectures nationwide, allows you to It works with the accumulated database of dangerous places and suspicious person information database to protect children’s safety using voice. Since its launch in 2018, many parents, including parents of children in the lower grades of elementary school, have said, “I don’t want my kids to have mobile phones or smartphones. They are prohibited from bringing them to school.” People are using it.

(2) Equipped with a “notification lamp” that can also be used to learn traffic rules
Since we want children to notice important notifications immediately, we have installed a large LED lamp (*) so that flashing notifications can be seen by children even when a “Mimori” is attached to the shoulder strap of the school bag. When a child approaches a dangerous location that has been set in advance from the smartphone app, such as an alley with poor visibility or a busy intersection, the device will directly notify the child of the danger using a notification lamp and voice. When children become elementary school students, they often go to and from school alone, so it is possible to be more attentive to children who do not yet understand dangerous places. Not only does it encourage children to change their behavior, but it also helps them learn and raise awareness about traffic safety, and supports children walking independently even when their parents are not around.

You can freely set the area (activity range) in which your child is usually active.
When the child leaves the active area, “Mimori” directly calls attention to the child with voice and lamp, and at the same time notifies the parent with a push notification on the smartphone. You can rest assured even if you accidentally miss a train or bus or go far away. The activity range can be set freely as shown in the diagram on the right, so it is possible to set the range in more detail than by specifying the area with a circle as in the past.
