Tracker: A Compact and Versatile GPS Position Device

Keeping Loved Ones Safe and Connected

With the increasingly rapid pace of modern life, a majority of parents have no time to pick up their children to and from school. And the aggravation of aging society also gives rise to more and more elderly people living alone who are likely to have accidents when they go out alone. When accidents happen, it is vital to know where they are. The design is inspired by Chinese knot from ancient China and it is a symbol of ancient people’s desire for good luck and safety, which echoes the function of the product itself.

The main body of the product is injection molded, the surface of the rear housing is treated by as-mold pattern and soft texture to enrich the product’s appearance and touch, and the middle frame is treated by high-glossy of gradient color finish. In order to get better user experiences (hand feeling and abrasion resistance), the surface of the button is stainless steel and treated by PVD finish.

The Tracker measures 29.6*54.2*16 mm, making it compact and easy to carry. Its sleek design and functionality make it a must-have for parents, caregivers, and anyone concerned about the safety and well-being of their loved ones.

Operating the Tracker is simple and intuitive. Users can long press to record audio, press start to record, let go to stop recording, and send the recording to the background. If the recording button is pressed for over 10 seconds, it will send automatically. Additionally, pressing the button twice activates the alarm, with urgent events reported twice every time.

The project started in Shenzhen in May 2018 and was completed in January 2019. The design team, led by Ming-Iung Chen and Wenke Zhang, put their expertise and creativity into creating a device that combines style, functionality, and safety.

The Tracker has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2019. This award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Tracker's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics make it a valuable tool for ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals.
