A Study on Utilizing IoT for Preventing Approach Restraining Order Violation

Abstract

The most general form of Domestic Violence committed among family members is, especially, the violence by a husband upon a wife. Domestic Violence physically, mentally and in the manner of property damages not also the wife, the victim, but also the husband and the rest of the whole family members, inducing further social issues. When Domestic Violence is continued, as a mean to prevent the Domestic Violence, an Approach Restraining Order can be used. However, due to the particularity that the assailant and the victim are the family members, infringement of such Restraining Orders often occurs. IoT entails mutual interaction of all information by linking all entities at any place and any time between a human and the other, a human and an object or an object and the other. A GPS-attached bag is linked to domestic IoT, offering the real-time location of children having the bag to their parents and enables rapid responses of the police to violent crimes by an automatic report to the police via a voice recognition sensor installed in public places, when a sound of scream is detected. This thesis proposes a system to automatically report to the police when a sound of scream of a victim is detected by a voice recognition sensor included in a smart-device, and prevent crime commitments of assailants who infringes on Approach Restraining Orders by using their locational information provided by IoT-based smart devices.
