Parents can check their kids' whereabouts by either making a phone call to the service center or accessing a website using a PC or a smart phone. They can even ask Secom's security agents to go and rescue their children in case of emergency.

"Oribie Navi Land" will be available on November 1. The bag including the device costs about US$300. A monthly service fee is about US$7.5.
