## Abstract

A sports competition application system is disclosed. The sports competition application system includes a Bluetooth transceiver device and a Bluetooth read-write device. The Bluetooth transceiver device includes a sensor, a battery, a Bluetooth transceiver chip, a microprocessor, and a storage unit. The sensor is utilized for sensing motion signals of a user. The Bluetooth transceiver chip is utilized for communicating with the Bluetooth read-write device. The microprocessor is utilized for controlling components of the Bluetooth transceiver device. The storage unit is utilized for accessing a code of the user and motion signals sensed by the sensor. The battery is utilized for providing power supply. The Bluetooth transceiver device which is worn by the user is used to monitor accurate locations of the users by the Bluetooth read-write device. By doing so, the users can be rescued on time when accidents occur.
