Description
Wireless monitoring device used for childcare and smoke detection Field of the Invention The present invention is related to a signal sensor, capable of being positioned on a monitored person, and once there is any incident involving the monitored person, a monitoring device can display the situation at any time as well as send out a warning notification to a caregiver, thereby the safety and health of the monitored person can be cared for while the caregiver can have adequate rest.
Background of the Invention Nowadays in society, there are many people who have impaired mobility as well as children that need to be monitored. However, the number of caregivers is insufficient compared to the people in need of care. Caregivers often need to continuously patrol multiple rooms, causing fatigue to the caregiver himself/herself. Additionally, no caregiver can care for any person 24 hours a day. Therefore, vendors have come out with some monitoring devices as shown in FIG. l, referred to herein as a conventional monitoring device. As shown in the figure, the monitoring device comprises a camera 1 and a monitor 2. The camera 1 and the monitor 2 are installed in the room of the monitored person and that of the caregiver, respectively. Therefore, the caregiver only needs to sit and watch the monitor 2 to monitor the actions of the monitored person. Once any incident occurs, the caregiver can then go to take care of the situation. As shown in FIG. 1, the child kicks off the blanket under camera 1. After the adult watching the monitor 2 in another room notices such an incident, the adult then i goes to properly tuck in the child.
It may seem that the monitoring device has solved most of the problems for the caregiver. However, a potential problem still exists in that the caregiver will have to watch the monitor continuously, causing eye fatigue. The caregiver also cannot rest, and could possibly fall asleep while monitoring, and thus miss a critical incident; thereby risking the health and safety of the monitored person.
Summary of the Invention In view of the disadvantages of the above-mentioned monitoring device, the inventor overcomes the disadvantages and improves the conventional monitoring device so as to invent a monitoring device used for childcare and smoke detection. The present invention allows a signal sensor to be placed on a monitored person. A monitoring device can display the situation at all times, and once there is any incident involving the monitored person, it can send out warning notifications to the caregiver; thereby the safety and health of the monitored person can be guaranteed, while the caregiver can have adequate rest.
The main aspect of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device used for childcare and smoke detection. The monitoring device allows a signal sensor to be placed on a monitored person. The monitoring device can display the situation at all times, and once there is any incident involving the monitored person, it can send out warning notifications to the caregiver, thereby the safety and health of the monitored person can be guaranteed, while the caregiver can have adequate rest.
In order to achieve the above aspect, .the present invention is implemented by having a signal sensor capable of detecting data on temperature and light changes, and emitting the data via an infrared emitter; a signal transceiver with an infrared receiver, a radio emitter, a camera lens, and a microphone capable of using the radio emitter to emit video data and data received by infrared receiver; a monitoring device having a radio receiver capable of displaying data from the radio signals received through a monitor and a speaker. The signal sensor can be placed on the monitored person. The monitoring device can display the situation at all times, and once any incident has occurred involving the monitored person, a warning notification can be sent to the caregiver; thereby, the safety and health of the monitored person can be guaranteed, while the caregiver can have adequate rest.
Brief descriution of the drawings FIG. 1 is a preferred embodiment of the conventional monitoring device;
FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional view of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the internal elements of the devices in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a first preferred embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 5 is a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Description of the ureferred embodiments In order for the examiner to understand the object, characteristic and effect of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with the following embodiments as well the accompanying drawings.
Refer to FIGs. 2 and 3, which illustrate a 3-dimensional view of the invention and a block diagram of the internal elements of the devices, respectively. As shown in the figures, the monitoring device used for childcare and smoke detection comprises a signal sensor 3. The signal sensor 3 comprises at least a heat sensor 31 (such as a heat-sensitive resistor), a light sensor 32 (such as a light-sensitive resistor), and a battery 33. Through a comparator, the signals of the heat sensor 31 can be emitted via an infrared emitter 34. (The infrared emitter 34 would not generate electromagnetic waves harmful to human body, and thus can be worn as an accessory for a long time without problems.) A
signal transceiver 4 comprises at least an infrared receiver 41 capable of receiving the signal sensor 3, a smoke detector 42, a camera lens 43, a microphone 44, and a radio emitter 45 capable of emitting signals received by the infrared receiver as well as data from camera lens 43 and microphone 44. A monitoring device 5 has a radio receiver 51 capable of receiving radio waves emitted by the signal transceiver. Through infrared and smoke detection decoders 53 and 54, the resulting information is presented via a monitor, such as an liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor, and a speaker 52.
Refer to FIGs. 4 and 5; which are the preferred embodiments of FIGs 1 and 2. As shown in the figures, the signal sensor 3 is positioned on a monitored person. The monitored person is sleeping in a room installed with a signal transceiver 4. When the monitored person is properly tucked in, the heat sensor 31 starts updating the current temperature, and/or the light sensor 32 is used to detect the magnitude of the light. Once the monitored person kicks off the blanket, the signal sensor 3 detects a temperature drop or an increase in light, and the infrared emitter 34 emits an infrared light signal to the infrared receiver 41.
After it is encoded, the data is emitted out from the data input processing end of the radio emitter 45 via radio waves. During the operation of the smoke detector 42, when gas or smoke concentrations exceed a prescribed value, a signal is encoded and emitted out from the data input end of the radio emitter 45 via radio waves, as well as the signal transceiver 4 itself generating a sound of 80 db.
The camera lens 43 and microphone 44 will also provide video data signals to the data input end of the radio emitter 45 simultaneously. The monitoring device 5 replays the radio signals received through a monitor, which can be an LCD
monitor and a speaker 52. When the caregiver hears the warning sound, he/she can then properly tuck in the monitored person, or provide emergency assistance to the monitored person.
Additionally, a microphone 44 is positioned on the signal transceiver 4.
When the monitored person needs anything, he/she can let the caregiver know immediately by using the microphone 44. Therefore, the caregiver can responsively assist the monitored person. Additionally, in order to enhance the safety of the monitored person, the present invention also combines the smoke detector 42. Once smoke is detected, a warning alarm different from other alarms will be set off.
Through the structural design of the present invention, the signal sensor can be placed on the monitored person. Once there is any incident involving the monitored person, the monitoring device can display the situation, as well as send a warning notification to the caregiver immediately. As a result, the safety and health of the monitored person can be guaranteed, while the caregiver can have adequate rest.
While the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it can be understood by the person skilled in the art that various modifications or changes may be made without deviating from the scope and the concept of the present invention described in the accompanying claims.
