Bart is out with friends. Marge knows from the application that Bart is still out around dinner time, and schedules another check in for 10pm, when she is planning on heading to bed. Marge wants to know if Bart ever wants to be picked up, and two hours after she’s gone to bed, she sees that Bart has asked to be picked up from the party and specifies in the application that he’s unable to drive since he’s been drinking, and so Marge drives to pick him up from the party. Bart is comfortable asking to be picked up because the application allows him to not have to call her directly.

Efficiency: One click for checking in is efficient (if no more information is requested). Being able to set a regular check-in on a schedule is efficient for the parent, not having to go to the application every time they want the child to check in. It is also efficient to be able to see all of the previous checkins done by a child on one screen. Inefficiently. , the parent needs to go to the application/website to see check-ins insead of getting them instantly and being notified when they come in.

Description: Webapp/app for parent to set things, app for kid to check in, check in calls parent with recorded message. Details as in design 1 are also available on the website. The check-in history would also differ from design 1 in having all children's histories and settings put together (interleaved). This design could include a different mode (not shown in these storyboards) where the parent does not need an account, just enters own phone number, kid’s phone number, requested info, and time (or instantaneous), then gets the recorded message check-in by phone. (In this case, they would not be able to see the details on the website at a later time.)
