  Abstract

Korea is becoming an aging society rapidly. Any care service which supports location information and alarms is required by the aged which must be looked after when they are out of safe zone. In this study, a simple Mobile Silver-care service using mobile embedded system (mobile node) with GPS receiver and CDMA modem, is designed. It is assumed that the aged always carries the mobile node. SMS(Short Messaging Service) is present at all mobile phone at extremely low cost. Therefore we used SMS as alarm and control messages between the aged and their guardians. On demand the proposed service acquires the current location of a mobile node from its GPS receiver, and transmits it to the guardian's mobile phone using SMS. The service is designed in a way that a mobile node can transmit it's location and other information to the designated place in emergency. The guardian sends control messages to a mobile node which is carried by his protege using SMS, and can setup and change various features of the node. A node finds if it is out of safe zone and sets its features without a remote server by itself.
