Overview of "cotchi cotchi"
Based on the concept of "Simplicity!", "cotchi cotchi" has children wear BLE beacons (FCS1301) during outdoor activities such as walks around the nursery school. If they move away from their teacher by a certain distance, an alert notification is sent to their smartphone or smartwatch, preventing children from being left behind.
