1 . A tracking system comprising: a communication unit configured to receive a global positioning system (GPS) signal and to transmit information via a first radio frequency (RF) signal; and, a radio transmitter configured to communicate with the communication unit and a base unit via a second RF signal; and, wherein the base unit configured to receive a third RF signal from the radio transmitter and to provide tracking information for at least one of a human user, an animal user, and an inanimate object; wherein the tracking system is configured to serve different classes of users including at least a human user wearing the communication unit attached to a bracelet, an animal user wearing the communication unit attached to a collar, and an inanimate object equipped with a disc for tracking purposes; wherein the communication unit and the disc are further configured to issue alerts authorized by an authorized administrator through the base unit; and wherein the communication unit further comprises: a communication unit housing; a set of video cameras providing a 360-degree video image; a video screen for two-way video communication; a home button, a duress button, and a medical information button; and, a set of directional guidance arrows to guide a user to a safe location.
2 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the communication unit is attachable to the user by a collar or bracelet equipped with an anti-tamper device, only removable by an authorized administrator.
3 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the base unit further comprises:
a base unit housing equipped with a touch screen and an authentication means for programming and use authorization; and,
wherein the touch screen capable of displaying various screen icons for ease of programming and use.
4 . The tracking system of claim 1 , further comprising a remote-control device connected to the base unit via a first communication link, enabling remote administration and control of the tracking system.
5 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the radio transmitter is configured to facilitate communication linkage between the communication unit, the disc, and the Internet via a second communication link, enabling global access and connectivity.
6 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to allow for the transmission of biometric data via the communication unit, including data from biometric skin sensors.
7 . The tracking system of claim 6 , wherein the biometric skin sensors are configured to measure at least one of oximetry, pulse, and temperature readings of the user.
8 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to be programmable by the authorized administrator to include user-specific information such as physical description, identifying marks, and emergency contact information.
9 . The tracking system of claim 1 , further comprising data centers and emergency response centers connected via auxiliary communication links to the system for data storage, access rights management, and emergency response coordination.
10 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the tracking system is configured for ease of use with minimal training, and is programmable for different user classes including human users, animal users, and inanimate objects.
11 . The tracking system of claim 1 , wherein the tracking system is configured to reset for repeated use after an operation cycle, via the base unit or the remote-control device.
