Abstract: A personal tracking and notification system includes a personal communication device for a first user being tracked for inputting and transmitting personal safety tracking information and check-in information to a network server. The server provides a check-in notification to a personal communication device of a second user indicating whether or not the check-in information was received from the first user, whether or not check-in information was received from the first user before expiration of a check-in time period, such as at a scheduled time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for identifying and retrieving information about individuals located within a geographic area, the system including a server having a database, a listening device associated with a requesting user and a plurality of broadcasting devices, wherein each broadcasting device is associated with a selected user. In operation, each broadcasting device emits a wireless data packet containing a UIE, wherein the listening device captures the wireless data packets, extracts the UIEs from the packets and sends the UIEs to the database. The database sends a profile of the selected users to the listening device in response to receiving the UIEs.
