Lost Child Search Service Provided at Major Shopping Center

The Lost Child Search Service is provided at Aeon Lake Town in Koshigaya, Saitama Prefecture, one of Japan's largest shopping malls. It helps parents and guardians find their children if they become separated from them.
The service uses a positioning device called the Lost Child Search Kit that you rent when you first arrive at the mall and the In-Building Mobile Communication Systemnotice1. Your child is fitted with the kit, which allows you to locate him or her by connecting to the Internet via i-mode or other Internet connectivity portal. Moreover, if a mall employee happens to discover a child who has gotten lost, they are able to determine the guardian's identity via an ID that is registered when the kit is rented out. The guardian is then called directly.
The service is compatible with Flash®notice2-enabled mobile phones with Internet access. We hope that it will provide a little extra peace of mind to guardian bringing their children with them to the mall.

Improving the Functionality of Kids' PHONE to Provide Peace of Mind to Both Parents and Children

Image of F-05A, Kids' PHONE

Kids' PHONE was developed to help keep children safe. We continue to improve its functionality. For example, Kids' PHONE F-05A limits initial functions to the crime prevention buzzer, calls and GPS. Settings can then be changed as your child gets older and can use the camera, mail, i-mode and other features responsibly.
Another features for safety and security are included the restriction who can be called unless those are not registered in the phone book. Kids' Mode which allows guardians to create a PIN number that keeps children from changing the phone's settings. The "Anshin Setting menu" which allows guardians to enable settings that turn on the crime prevention buzzer, restrict uses of calls, mail, i-mode and i-αppli, and prevent use of the camera simply by following onscreen instructions. All of these functions have been designed to keep children safe and give guardians peace of mind.
In addition, some models provide the Parent/Child Mode, which prevents children from changing settings parents do not want them to change, free of charge with no application necessary. Functions parents do not want children to use like i-mode, Mail, i-αppli, camera, and One-Seg, can be blocked on an individual basis and security passwords that differ from the child's password can be set by the parent or guardian.
