Intercom of which the following is a specification
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to the field of apparatus with the following purpose or function: A baby monitoring device for observing the status of a baby from a remote location. Moreover it pertains specifically to such apparatus with the following general description, an electronic sound monitoring apparatus particularly a monitoring apparatus that can be accessed through a wireless mobile communication device for observing the status of an infant or toddler in a remote location
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring now descriptively to the drawings, the attached figures illustrate a Bluetooth Baby Intercom Figure 1 illustrates: Bluetooth Baby Intercom according to the present invention Concept relates to an electronic sound monitoring apparatus particularly a monitoring apparatus that can be accessed through a wireless mobile communication device for observing the status of an infant or toddler in a remote location.
The present invention is a baby-monitoring device for monitoring a baby from a remote location.
The present invention includes a monitoring unit comprising of a housing for a transmitter unit having a receiving means for receiving baby sounds, and a transmitter to transmit the received signal through low power radio waves. The housing further includes at least two controls for varying the frequency and volume as per user requirements A portable mobile communication device is configured to receive signals from short-range radio frequency and is programmed to generate a communication link to receive the signal frequency without any intervention. The present invention transmits signals through low power radio waves by using radio frequency technology such as Bluetooth, or other wireless technology. The said receiving means employed herein could be a microphone or the like. The power source employed can be a temporary source such as a battery or an external source. The volume and frequency content of the incoming signal frequency can be dynamically adjusted to maximize clarity accordingly. The mobile communication device can be any portable electronic device that includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, cellular phone, or the like. The invention enables signal transmission via a personal area network, or similar, that allows secured transmission of data.
