Mobile device for locating and monitoring objects or people and clothing that incorporates it.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention lies in an autonomous and mobile device that, fixed to the object or placed on a garment or article of a person, allows its location and monitoring through a mobile device, such as a smartphone, tablet or similar, or through fixed signal reception points (hotspots).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Today, several location devices based on the use of mobile telephony are known, capable of communicating directly to the user the position of an object on which one of these devices has been fixed, with a certain degree of approximation, so that the user, in case of loss or theft, can locate it without further executing a location instruction through an App installed on your smartphone.
Each of the location devices of this type incorporates a circuit, with Bluetooth technology, with a unique identification code and linked to a user (owner), with which a user terminal (smartphone), through an application ( App) installed in it is able to establish communication with said device, so that it emits an alarm signal (acoustic and / or optical) that allows its location, provided that this device is within its radio of reception of the Bluetooth signal . This App also has access to a database in which the users and the location devices of each of them are registered so that in those cases in which the device is outside the range of action of the owner user, it issues a generic signal to all users of the system, so that the first one that passes next to its broadcast radius, detects the presence of the existing device in the lost or subtracted object and through this App allows to communicate to the

owner user your location.
The system offered under the trade name "Tile" is installed in small keychain boxes and is very suitable for the location of keys or similar objects in which this small object can be hung. On the other hand the system offered under The trade name "Beluvv Guardian" is embodied in a bracelet designed for children and thus notify the people in charge when the wearer of the bracelet moves away from that person.
The main problem of these existing devices in the state of the art is that they are true objects and therefore are very difficult to use on clothes and other objects of daily use. In addition, its usefulness is limited to the location of objects or people and cannot transmit any of the variables of the environment in which they are located, or of the user who is using it.
EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
The device for locating and monitoring objects and people with a mobile user terminal of the invention favorably solves the problem posed, since it comprises a flexible electronic circuit and a medium or long range transmitter covered with a flexible material that makes it waterproof. and resistant to accidental shocks.
Preferably, the location device also integrates one or more sensors that allows it to detect surrounding variables and communicate the result thereof to the user. It is about measuring any circumstance that the device can detect through one or more sensors, such as temperature, motion, humidity, UV or analog sensors.
The control circuit and detection sensors are integrated in a small electronic plate of flexible material, with a unique identification code through which it is identified by a mobile or fixed terminal (Hotspots) through an application installed in it . This application has access to a whole network of users with the same

own database of the system, through which the owner of any device lost by such owner can be located.
The special structure and configuration of the device on a flexible support allows it to be fixed by sewing, or by a removable contact closure, on a garment, or on certain types of objects on which this type of support can also be fixed.
The device of the invention preferably employs BLE technology (Bluetooth Low Energy) whereby it has a minimum energy consumption, which allows its use for long periods of time without changing the battery of power integrated in the plate that conforms it.
Another advantage of this device is that it allows to integrate NFC (Near Field Communication) technology chip, very suitable for sending and receiving data at a short distance, through an electromagnetic field, to send information to mobile phones in a fast way and with a very low battery consumption (or null in case it is used in passive mode). This component allows the activation and deactivation of the device.
With this configuration, once the alert has been given to the user of their device loss to the system, when some other non-proprietary user passes next to the device, the non-proprietary user captures the device's signal and sends it to the system and is the same system that informs the owner of that device of the current location of his device. This is an automatic and transparent process for non-owners of such device.
Finally, this device preferably has a GPS locator that, in principle, is only activated when there is no Bluetooth coverage of the owner.
The features and advantages of the invention will become more clearly apparent from the detailed description that follows. Both in the description and in the form of

- At least one server that captures the information sent by the receiving terminals, processes it and eventually sends alarms to the users.
The invention allows the computer application of the receiving terminal to send a warning signal to the user in case one of the devices to be controlled leaves the coverage radius. This system also allows the user, by means of the computer application of the receiving terminal, to activate an alarm signal on the device to be controlled (such as a light, vibration or acoustic or audible alarm) when it is in a coverage radius.
For this purpose, each of these devices for locating and / or monitoring objects or people includes a flexible electronic circuit (3), which integrates a firmware suitable for the operation of a microprocessor, with a series of simple peripherals, which are capable to communicate via Bluetooth and process a series of processes.
