Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A detection device is in communication with a user monitoring device. The detection device includes at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device configured to detect at least one of a person's motion, movement and gesture. A user monitoring device includes at least one element selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; one or more RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WIFI); a memory; and one or more LED's. The detection device and user monitoring device detect or monitor one or more infant characteristics.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A system for monitoring a child or baby, comprising: a detection device in communication with a user monitoring device, the detection device including at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device configured to detect at least one of a person's motion, movement and gesture; and a user monitoring device including at least one element selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; one or more RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WWI); a memory; and one or more LED's, wherein the detection device and user monitoring device detect or monitor one or more infant characteristics. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used for monitoring a child or baby for SID or any danger event. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to provide a notification or an alert. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect a baby or child waking up 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect a baby or child falling asleep. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect a baby or child self-soothing. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child stops breathing. 8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child has no motion. 9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child rolls over. 10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child is crying. 11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child baby is climbing. 12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child spits up. 13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child has an aspiration event. 14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child has a flip event. 15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child has a seizure event. 16 . A method for monitoring a child or baby, comprising: providing a detection device in communication with a user monitoring device, the detection device including at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device configured to detect at least one of a person's motion, movement and gesture; providing a user monitoring device including at least one element selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; one or more RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WIFI); a memory; and one or more LED's; and detecting or monitoring one or more infant characteristics. 17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used for monitoring a child or baby for SID or any danger event. 18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used for monitoring a child or baby to provide a notification or an alert. 19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect a baby or child waking up. 20 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect a baby or child falling asleep. 21 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect a baby or child self-soothing. 22 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child stops breathing. 23 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child has no motion. 24 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child rolls over. 25 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child is crying. 26 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the system is used to detect if a baby or child baby is climbing. 27 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child spits up. 28 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child has an aspiration event. 29 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child has a flip event. 30 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the one or infant characteristics are used to detect if a baby or child has a seizure event
