- The following is content from the press release -
(headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; Hisanobu Iwasaki, President) announces that it will launch a new service for its "LilyFlapp Bi-conwoocchi®" (hereinafter referred to as "Bi-conwoocchi") child watch service for childcare facilities in early May, 2024. The new service is called "Riri-Funapu Bikon-Woochi®". Bikon-Woochi was developed as a tool to strengthen safety measures for preschool buses in response to an accident at a certain children's preschool in which a bus left a child behind. The new service will add a "preschool arrival/departure management function" that automatically records the arrival and departure of preschool children. The children's arrival and departure will be recorded as they pass through the entrance, hallway, and other areas. We will also provide the information to those who have applied for the information request from this article in advance.
Background of the request: "We want to instantly grasp the status of attendance at preschool in the event of a disaster.
Until now, the system has been used as a safety measure tool for commuter buses and as a tool for confirming the number of people in and out of preschools. However, we have received many requests for a function to manage the number of people coming to and leaving preschools, and based on feedback from people involved in preschool and daycare facilities who have contacted us, we have begun development of this system.
Some of the facilities that have commented on this issue feel that they are not able to monitor the attendance of the children between the time they arrive at the school and the time attendance is checked, since the attendance of the children is checked after the children gather inside the daycare room in the morning. If a disaster were to occur during this time, it would be impossible to ascertain the status of the children's attendance.
With the enhancement of this service, it is now possible to record the arrival and departure status of not only children who commute to preschool by bus, but also all children who walk to preschool.
No installation work is required! Service that can be introduced with no burden
This service automatically records the arrival and departure of preschoolers wearing beacons as they pass through entrances, entrances, and corridors. There is no need to install a dedicated machine to manage the arrival and departure of children, as the service can be managed by placing a smartphone at the entrance, hallway, or entrance.
This service can be introduced and operated with as little effort as possible by teachers.
About Bikon-Wochi
Bi-Con Woochi" is a service that checks and records the boarding and un-boarding of preschool buses. It can also be used as a tool for checking the number of people on the bus and preventing lost children from getting lost during out-of-school activities. The "BeaconWoochi" service uses a small sensor called a beacon, which transmits Bluetooth radio waves, to automatically record the boarding and exiting of the preschool bus, allowing staff and parents to check the boarding and exiting records.
Recently, we participated in a demonstration experiment regarding an ICT-based child watch service in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, as a tool for preventing children from getting lost inside and outside of preschools.
