They want to monitor children activities and movements, where they are going and what they are doing. But this process is difficult. To solve this problem a Mobile Tracking System has been designed, using this system parents can track children’s location. This paper aims to develop a Python3 program for any operating system (05) platform that automatically send the current address location of the phone to the program output using the phone number provided in the SIM card inserted in the phone. Location of mobile device is in the form of latitude and longitude which is converted into full address by this application that includes country/state, city, and street number. INTRODUCTION Tracking system is not a new concept. GPS is a popular technology for tracking system. Different types of GPS devices are used to track different types of object’s location. GPS devices receive signal from satellite. GSM is another technology that is also used for tracking system GSM Devices receive signal from connected base station. Mobile phone technology has been developed over a very short period of time. Mobile phone includes GPS sensor, soit can receive signal from base station and Satellite. Now GPS tracker is used for track location but it needs to buy extra GPS devices and have to pay periodically for this services. Device location does not display in GSM technology, it display base station location. If someone wants to find location of the device in GSM technology, it needs to pay to the service provider. Android-based mobile applications named as GPS phone tracker pro, Mobile Location Tracer, and Location Tracker provides location address of the user and famous applications on Google Play but these applications have no advance features but still more than 0.8 million people downloaded these applications. Furthermore applications like Locate My Friends, Family Locator and Family Locator & Messaging has also more than 0.6 million user downloaded history and are used for finding friends and family location but it has a lot of functionality complaints from users, which includes glitches and application crashing. Mobile Caller Location Tracker, All call Location Tracker and SMS Tracker has more than 0.5 million downloads andlocates only user’s location whose mobile phones are connected during call and short message service. There are also some famous mobile applications exit which tracks vehicle location like Vehicle Location Tracker, Find MyCar and Tracker these apps has more than 0.5 downloaded history but user complaints about the features of the apps. Some other applications are also designed with limited functionality to track lost devices e.g. Where My Droid , GPS Phone Tracker Pro and Mobile Location Tracker Here we have developed a program to track mobile phones using their phone numbers. Client can track immediate location of registered mobile. This mobile tracking system will help parents to monitor their children's mobile phone location. RECENT TECHNOLOGY USED NETWORD BASED The location of a mobile phone can be determined using the service provider's network infrastructure. The advantage of network-based techniques, from a service provider's point of view, isthat they can be implemented non-intrusively without affecting handsets. Network- based techniques were developed many years prior to the widespread availability of GPS on handsets. The technology of locating is based on measuring power levels and antenna patterns and uses the concept that a powered mobile phone always communicates wirelessly with one of the closest base stations, so knowledge of the location of the base station implies the cell phone is nearby. The accuracy of network-based techniques varies, with cell identification as the least accurate, due to differential signals transposing between towers, otherwise known as "bouncing signals" Triangulation is moderately accurate, and the newer "advanced forward link trilateration" timing methods are the most accurate. The accuracy of network-based techniques depends on the concentration of cell base stations, with urban environments achieving the highest accuracy because of the high density of cell towers. Their accuracy also depends on the implementation of the most current timing methods. One of the key challenges of network-based techniques is the requirement to work closely with the service provider, as it entails the installation of hardware and software within the operator's infrastructure. Frequently the compulsion associated with a legislative framework, such as Enhanced 9-1-1, is required before a service provider will deploy a solution,HANDSET BASED The location of a mobile phone can be determined using client software installed on the handset. This technique determines the location of the handset by putting its location by cell identification, signal strengths of the home and neighboring cells, which is continuously sent to the carrier. In addition, if the handset is also equipped with GPS then significantly more precise location information can be then sent from the handset to the carrier. ‘Another approach is to use a fingerprinting-based technique, where the "signature" of the home and neighboring cells signal strengths at different points in the area of interest is recorded by war-driving and matched in real-time to determine the handset location. This is usually performed independent from the carrier. SIM-BASED Using the subscriber identity module (SIM) in GSM and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) handsets, it is possible to obtain raw radio measurements from the handset. Available measurements include the serving Cell ID, round-trip time, and signal strength. The type of information obtained via the SIM can differ from that which is available from the handset. For example, it may not be possible to obtain any raw measurements from the handset directly, yet still obtain measurements via the SIM WIFI Crowdsourced Wi-Fi data can also be used to identify a handset's location. The poor performance of the GPS-based methods in indoor environment and the increasing popularity of Wi-Fi have encouraged companies to design new and feasible methods to carry out Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning. Most smartphones combine Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS and GLONASS, with Wi-Fi positioning systems. MOBILE TRACKING SYSTEM : PYTHON PROGRAM Here we have created a python program for mobile tracking system using phone number. We have created files, [Link] and [Link]. "[Link]” is where the program used for running the tracking system are done and in "[Link]” we input the number inthe program
