These tracking features are widely used in various fields, and with technological advancements, their scope is expanding, playing a crucial role not only in identifying locations but also in improving efficiency and creating new services through data analysis.

Here’s a summary of the main application areas:

1. Sports and Fitness:

• Athlete Training and Performance Analysis: Using GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc., athletes’ movement paths, speed, acceleration, and heart rate are tracked to analyze training effectiveness and establish game strategies. For example, a soccer player’s activity level, number of sprints, and distance traveled can be analyzed to improve stamina management and positioning strategy.
• Personal Exercise Recording and Analysis: Smartwatches, fitness trackers, etc., record and analyze exercise time, distance, speed, calories burned, etc., helping individuals achieve their exercise goals. For example, running records can be analyzed for pace control and interval training.
• Sports Broadcasting and Spectating: Providing real-time player position and movement data on broadcast screens enhances viewer engagement. For example, showing player positions and ball trajectories in soccer games with graphics makes it easier to understand the game situation.

2. Logistics and Transportation:

• Cargo Tracking and Management: Using GPS, RFID, etc., the location, movement path, and estimated arrival time of cargo are tracked in real time to improve logistics efficiency and prevent delivery delays and losses.
• Vehicle Management and Route Optimization: Tracking vehicle location, speed, and driving time optimizes driving routes and reduces fuel consumption. This is widely used in taxis, delivery services, and transportation companies.
• Delivery Tracking: Provides services that allow consumers to check the delivery status of ordered goods in real time.

3. Rehabilitation Therapy and Health Management:

• Patient Movement and Activity Monitoring: Tracking patient location, activity level, and movement patterns evaluates the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy and adjusts treatment plans. This can be especially useful for safety management of elderly or patients with limited mobility.
• Gait Analysis and Posture Correction: Analyzing walking speed, stride length, and walking patterns diagnoses gait disorders and provides training programs for posture correction.
• Sleep Analysis: Tracking sleep time, sleep stage changes, and number of tosses and turns evaluates sleep quality and helps improve sleep disorders.

4. Safety and Security:

• Location-Based Emergency Rescue Requests: In the event of an emergency, automatically transmits the user’s location information to rescue agencies for rapid rescue support.
• Missing Person Search: Used to track the location of missing persons using GPS, drones, etc.
• Access Control and Security Systems: Used to manage access records to specific areas and detect unauthorized access.

5. Other Fields:

• Agriculture: Used for monitoring crop growth environments, tracking agricultural machinery location, and managing work efficiency.
• Construction: Used for tracking personnel and equipment location on construction sites and managing work progress.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used for tracking the migration routes of wild animals and the diffusion paths of environmental pollutants.

As such, location, distance, and duration tracking features are used in various fields, contributing to improved efficiency, safety management, and the creation of new services. In particular, they are expected to provide more intelligent and diverse services through convergence with other technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data.
