1. Introduction
A Child Monitoring System, or CMS for short, is the application to control youngster. This
application is an android-based response to various difficulties that guardians of kids matured 13
to 18 years face consistently. The framework will have the Child and Parent modes, every one of
which will give unmistakable usefulness dependent on the job that will utilize it. This framework
will screen their kid's exercises and defined a specific limit for the youth, giving regular
warnings and permitting the kid to physically report when the individual in question is out of
luck. This innovation, which is as yet being developed, will likewise give an answer for when the
youth is in peril by sending a SOS to the parent. The reason for this undertaking is to secure the
kid's wellbeing and to give a protected stage to the present youngsters.

2. Design Methodology and Software Process Model

RUP is the cycle model that was utilized (Rational Unified Process). RUP is a methodology for
creating Object-Oriented and Web-Enabled frameworks. The motivation behind RUP is to
guarantee the production of excellent programming that fulfills the requests of its end clients
while remaining inside an anticipated course of events and financial plan. It is divided into four
stages and includes instructions, templates, and examples.
Rup will be used because:

i. Efficient use of resources:

Because we need to assure the safety of numerous children, we need to make effective use of
resources.

ii. Deliver exact product:

Because we know precisely what we want and do not want to squander resources, RUP is useful
because it will give exactly what it promised, nothing more or less.

iii. Discover issues early:

Because the product must be fully functional instantly and no tolerance for mistake is tolerated
because children's safety is at risk, we must identify and correct any faults as soon as possible.

iv. Improve risk management:

This system's error/risk management is excellent since we find mistakes early on.

3. System overview
For parents/guardian who are concerned about their child safety and face trouble to keep
an eye on their child mobile activities, Child Monitoring system (CMS) is an android
application which helps to solve and prevent from any unwanted circumstances. The system
will consist of two modes: Child (13-18 years old) and Parent. In child mode, the child will be
5

able to send SOS notifications and share their current location with the parents in any
emergency situation. The child can also send SOS alert using voice command “HELP”
whenever the app received this command from the child, the system will automatically
share alert message and current location with parent. In parent mode, the system will allow
parents to set geo fence zones for their children and will receive alerts whenever the child
enter or exits those zones. The application will also allow the parents to monitor the phone
activity of their child device (including call history, text messages history, contacts, installed
apps, app usage statistics). Parents will also be able to view the current location of their
child and receive an alert if the child mobile battery is low. The system will also generate
emergency report where the parent will be able to view report of activity log which contains
the call list, text message history, last known location and location history of child and will
allow them to download this report. Unlike the existing system, the system will provide Geo
fencing and will trigger an alert every time device enters or leaves a particular area. As
outcome of the project, the parents will find a platform through which they can ensure their
child’s safety while child can also notify their parent in time of need.
