There are many applications using LBS such as navigations, location tracking, the whereabouts of a friend or employee. Most of these applications have the feature of active service mechanism. In this paper, we propose a system for sensing the stray of any objects within user-specified region as passive service mechanism. The proposed system has been initially authenticated the target objects and then matched between smartphone and a target object using LBS in smartphones. After a period of time, if the object has been break away from the specified boundary region, it is that the smartphone detects the straying status of the object. This system presents a virtual barrier such as a geofence. Therefore, the proposed mechanism will can be used of many applications such as anti-theft/anti-lost of any objects, preventing of stray children. Especially, it will be more opportunities combining with active service mechanism.
