danger or needs to be rescued. This action is taken.
The effort involved in regularly sending the message
with the location URL to the registered contacts
makes up the third main phase. Since the time interval
in this case is set to five minutes, an SMS will be sent
to the registered contacts every five minutes. Thus,
the program can continually track the person's
specific location, which is the main goal of the
suggested method, allowing for the person's rescue.

the testing findings of the aforementioned three parts.
In this context, the term "root device" refers to the
user's device, which is the one over which the rescue
program is launched. The device to which the user
sends location data on a regular basis is referred to as
the contact's device. Before installing the app on the
phone, make sure to tick the box labeled "allow

settings, as illustrated in the following figure. shows
