Invention Patent Descriptive Report for: MONITORING SYSTEM
Related Orders [001] This application claims priority and is related to Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 406,705, entitled Monitoring Pen, filed on October 11, 2016, and 62 / 413,593, entitled Monitoring Pen, filed on 27 October 2016, with the content of each incorporated in this document as a reference in its entirety.
Background to the Invention [002] Monitoring is important in child care. Parents monitor their children to provide better care. Daily caregivers also want to monitor children in their care to provide better care.
Summary of the Invention [003] Exemplary embodiments include a baby monitoring system that has one or more sensors. When a user is in the monitoring system or within it, the sensors will collect data to infer the user's situation and / or comfort. For example, the monitoring system may have a motion sensor to infer whether a child is breathing. In addition, other sensors can detect other environmental and / or physiological data,
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 6/170
2/87 such as room temperature, humidity, and even the child's voice. The monitoring system can collect any data to infer whether the child is playing or resting comfortably. The monitoring system, however, can also send data to the other device for analysis and diagnosis.
[004] The exemplary modalities can also shake or push the user. As the reader can understand, sleep apnea is a common occurrence in adults and children. Any of the sensors can thus be used to determine when the user pauses or stops breathing. If the monitoring system detects a lack of movement associated with a user's breathing outside a predetermined threshold, the monitoring system can activate a contact mechanism. The contact mechanism initiates a force insertion into the monitoring system, such as a push or pull, to a cushion and / or mattress, and thus shakes or pushes the user. The contact mechanism can encourage the user to continue breathing.
[005] Exemplary modalities may also include remote monitoring. Any data collected by the monitoring system can be sent or updated to a remote device. It is assumed, for example, that the monitoring system monitors the child. That is, to the extent that the child finds himself or herself playing within the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 7/170
3/87 monitoring, the exemplary modalities can monitor movements, room temperature, humidity, the child's voice and any other data. The monitoring system can then wirelessly send data to the parent's smart phone or other device, thereby allowing parents to remotely monitor the child's comfort. If the father or mother is in another room, at work or even traveling, the exemplary modalities keep the parents informed about the child's situation and / or comfort.
[006] Exemplary modalities may also include a cloud-based service. Whenever the monitoring system collects any data, the monitoring system can send the data to a remote server via a communication network. The server can thus perform a service that infers the child's comfort based on the data. A service provider, in other words, can provide an Internet-based service that performs an analysis in response to customer requests.

Detailed Description
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 19/170
15/87 [012] The exemplary modalities will now be more fully described below with reference to the attached drawings. Exemplary modalities can, however, be incorporated in many different forms and should not be interpreted as limited to the modalities set out in this document. These modalities are provided so that this disclosure is thorough and complete and fully transmits the exemplary modalities to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 21/170
17/87 [015] It will also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. can be used in this document to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited to those terms. These terms are not just used to distinguish one element from the other. For example, a first device can be called a second device and, similarly, a second device can be called a first device without departing from the teachings of revelation.
[016] Figures 1 to 4 are simplified illustrations of a monitoring system 100, according to the exemplary modalities. Although the monitoring system 100 can be adapted for any user size (whether human or animal), Figure 1 illustrates a child 102 sitting inside the monitoring system 100. As the child 102 moves, plays and rests inside of the monitoring system 100, the monitoring system 100 has several sensors 104 and programming logic that monitor the situation of the child 106. The sensors 104 can generate sensory output signals 108 that are used to infer the situation of the child 106, such as your comfort 110. Although the monitoring system 100 may have different sensors 104 that monitor the child 102, for the sake of simplicity, Figure 1 illustrates only one motion sensor 112. Motion sensor 112 generates the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 22/170
18/87 sensory output signal 108 representing a movement 114 associated with the child 102. Exemplary modalities can even recommend the action of the parents in response to movement 114, such as generating a notification 116 on the parents 118 smart phone (according to paragraphs will explain).
[017] Ad exemplary modalities can even detect the child's breathing. The motion sensor 112 can detect the child's respiratory movements within the monitoring system 100. That is, to the extent that the child 102 sits or is within the monitoring system 100, the movement sensor 112 can detect the expansion and contraction of the child's chest cavity. As the child inhales and exhales, a cushioned surface (such as a padded pillow 122 and / or a mattress 123) expands and contracts slightly. Since motion sensor 112 is located next to child 122, motion sensor 112 responds to movements 114 and generates its corresponding sensory output signal 108. For example, motion sensor 112 can be housed in a housing, such as housed between two thin layers (for example, about 1.5 mm in thickness) of rigid or semi-rigid material, such as polypropylene or the like, and placed inside or under the padded pad 122 or mattress 123, or inside a cavity formed in the same. In another example,
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 23/170
19/87 motion sensor 112 can physically touch or come in contact with the padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123. When child 102 moves, motion sensor 112 responds to any physical property or manifestation induced within, or propagated through the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123. Exemplary modalities can then infer the child's comfort 110 based on the sensory output signal 108. For example, if the sensory output signal 108 exhibits low repetitive values, then perhaps the child's breathing indicates a calm rest. However, if the sensory output signal 108 has rapidly changing values, child 102 may be nervously panting. Exemplary modalities can thus infer child comfort 110 based on the sensory output signal 108 generated by motion sensor 112. Exemplary modalities can even report comfort 110 to a remote location, such as the parents' smart phone 118.
[018] Exemplary modalities can also infer an apnetic state 130. As the reader can understand, sleep apnea is a common occurrence in adults. Apnea is also unfortunately common in children and can even cause suffocation. Here, then, the exemplary modalities can alert and notify when the child 102 stops breathing or stops breathing for some
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 24/170
20/87 period of time outside a limit value. If the child 102 stops breathing, even if momentarily, the sensory output signal 108 may fall below a limit value at which the apnustic state 130 is assumed. Exemplary modalities can thus send notification 116 to parents' smart phones 114, to emergency personnel, and / or to any other address. The exemplary modalities may even activate a contact mechanism 140 to shake or push the padded pillow 122, the mattress 123, or even the child 102 to promote a resumption of breathing (as the following paragraphs will explain). In one example, the limit value can be a twelve (12) second time period. The limit value may alternatively be a period of time greater or less than (12) seconds.
[019] Motion sensor 112 can use any detection technology. There are many schemes and techniques for detecting the movements 114 of the user who is within the monitoring system 100, and exemplary modalities are agnostic and can use any of the schemes and techniques. Exemplary modalities, however, can preferably use the piezoelectric effect to detect the user's movements 114. The motion sensor 112, in other words, can have a piezoelectric material, film, or mass that generates or alters
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 25/170
21/87 the electric charge or tension in response to the user's movements 114 (for example, pressure, acceleration, deformation and / or force). The motion sensor 112, in particular, can use a piezoelectric disc that deflects, deforms or compresses in response to the child's movements 114. The piezoelectric disc, for example, can be incorporated into the padded pillow 122 and / or inside the mattress 123 ( as the following paragraphs will explain). As the piezoelectric disk is preferably oriented or arranged below the child 102, the movements of the child 114 propagate along and / or through the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 to deflect the piezoelectric disk. The motion sensor 112 thus detects the resulting electrical charge or voltage on the piezoelectric disk and generates the sensory output signal 108. The motion sensor 112 can also use a mass accelerometer that detects the child's movements in relation to gravity. Regardless, the piezoelectric effect and motion detection are generally well known and need not be explained further.
[020] Figure 2 illustrates a humidity sensor 150. The humidity sensor 150 can be another among the sensors 104 that monitors the child 102 who sits or is in the monitoring system 100. Although the humidity sensor 150 can be positioned anywhere within the monitoring system 100, Figure 2 illustrates a location
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 26/170
22/87 proximal below the child 102. For example, the humidity sensor 150 can be located between a top surface of the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123 and an outer cover of the same, can be integrated with a top surface of the same , can be integrated with a top surface of the padded pad 122 or mattress 123, or can be integrated with a top surface of the outer cover of the padded pad 122 or mattress 123. Humidity sensor 150 generates the sensory output signal 108 representing humidity 152 associated with child 102. Exemplary modalities can thus use the sensory output signal 108 (representing humidity 152) to infer whether child 102 is sweaty, nervous, emotionally upset and / or has a diaper wet / dirty. In fact, if the humidity exceeds a limit value, the exemplary modalities can infer whether the child has vomited, sweated, urinated or soiled his clothes. Exemplary modalities can, therefore, recommend the action of parents in response to humidity 152, such as generating notification 116 on parents 118 smart phone for diaper change (again, as the following paragraphs will explain). Although the humidity sensor 150 can use any sensor technology, the exemplary embodiments can preferably use a conductive fabric, which the following paragraphs will explain.
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 27/170
23/87 [021] Figure 3 illustrates an isometric view of the monitoring system 100. Here, the monitoring system 100 can include an auxiliary unit 160. The auxiliary unit 160 interfaces with the sensor (or sensors) 104 to provide further more monitoring capabilities. For example, auxiliary unit 160 may include a temperature sensor 162. Temperature sensor 162 can generate the sensory output signal 108 which represents an ambient temperature 164 associated with the child's environment 102 (illustrated in Figures 1 and 2). The auxiliary unit 160 can therefore be placed in the vicinity of the child 102 to measure the ambient temperature 164. Temperature sensor 162 has a sensory element (such as a transducer, not shown for simplification purposes) that generates one of the sensory output 108 representing the room temperature 164 associated with the child's environment. Figure 3 illustrates a wired mode, where auxiliary unit 160 connects via physical cable 166 to internal sensors 104. Although auxiliary unit 160 can wirelessly interface with sensors 104, physical cable 166 can prevent or help prevent auxiliary unit 160 from being lost or separated from monitoring system 100. Alternatively, physical cable 166 may not be required and auxiliary unit 160 may interface with sensor (or sensors) 104 completely wirelessly. Regardless
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 28/170
In addition, temperature sensor 162 can be used to infer child comfort 110 (such as too hot or too cold), which can be reported remotely to the main smart phone 118.
[022] Figure 4 illustrates additional monitoring capabilities. Here, the auxiliary unit 160 can include a microphone 170, a speaker 172, and / or a network interface 174 to a communication network 17 6. The microphone 170 detects audible sounds in the vicinity of the user (such as the child 102 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2), including the user's own voice. Loudspeaker 172 audibly reproduces sounds in the vicinity of the child 102. The network interface 174 allows the auxiliary unit 160 to communicate with any remote device, such as the smart phone 118. The auxiliary unit 160 can thus transmit wirelessly speech signals (associated with microphone 170) through communication network 176 to any destination (such as the smart phone of parents or caregiver 118). The auxiliary unit 160 can also receive voice signals wirelessly via the communication network 176 of the smart phone 118 for playback by the speaker 172. The parents or caregiver can thus talk remotely with the child in the car monitoring (illustrated with reference number 100 in Figures 1 to 3). The 172 speaker also allows the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 29/170
25/87 auxiliary unit 160 receive and / or play a music file, thus allowing the exemplary modalities to calm and comfort the user.
[023] Figures 5 to 9 are more detailed illustrations of the monitoring system 100, according to the exemplary modalities. Figure 5, for example, illustrates a transparent and assembled view of the monitoring system 100. The monitoring system 100 has an upper textile product 180 with a generally rectangular or oval shape. The textile product 180 has one or more side walls 182 that substantially define an interior portion 184 in which the user (such as the child 102 shown in Figures 1 and 2) sits, plays and rests. The side walls 182 have a height above the floor chosen to safely confine the child 102. The textile product 180 may have an outer shell 186 filled with a soft and comfortable material (such as foam, cotton or other fiber). Textile product 180 may have a pocket 188 (which may be zippered), into which the padded pad 122 is inserted. Mattress 123, if desired or included, may have a material thickness that provides additional bottom cushioning.
[024] Exemplary embodiments may include an internal unit 190. The internal unit 190 may contain the contact mechanism 140. Figure 6 illustrates the unit

26/87 internal 190 that slides on the padded pad 122. The padded pad 122 can thus be a sleeve with an access or opening with zipper or zipper that allows the insertion and removal of the internal unit 190. The padded pad 122 can also include the humidity sensor 150. Again, although the humidity sensor 150 can use any sensor technology, Figure 6 illustrates conductive wires 202 that electrically conduct current and voltage. The conductive wires 202 can be integrated into an upper surface or which covers the padded pad 122. Padded pad 122 can thus be a conductive sleeve surrounding the indoor unit 190. The following paragraphs will further explain the humidity sensor 150 and the conducting wires 202.
[025] Figure 7 illustrates an exploded view of some components. The indoor unit 190 has an external compartment 194 and slides on the padded pad
122 or on the mattress 123. The padded pillow 122 or the mattress
123 (which has the indoor unit 190) can then be inserted into pocket 188. When the user (like the child 102 shown in Figures 1 and 2) sits, plays and rests on the indoor portion 184, the indoor unit 190 is thus aligned or arranged under the user for optimal performance and sensory perception. Since the indoor unit 190 can contain any of the sensors 104 (such as the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 1/31
27/87 movement 112 and / or the humidity sensor 150 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2), the indoor unit 190 is capable of monitoring the user's movements and humidity. Exemplary embodiments can even activate contact mechanism 140 in response to sensory output signals 108 generated by motion sensor 112 and / or humidity sensor 150.
[026] Figures 7 and 8 illustrate other resources. The pad 122 or mattress 123 may have an internal channel 196 through which physical cable 166 to auxiliary unit 160 is routed or inserted. The outer shell 186 and / or pocket 188 may also have a corresponding opening 198 through which physical cable 166 passes. The padded pad 122 or the mattress 123 can thus contain at least some of the sensors 104 that help to infer the situation of the child 106 internally. A stopper or plug 200 is inserted in the internal channel 196 in the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123, and the stopper or plug 200 is sized and shaped to help prevent physical cable 166 from being extended or pulled and thereby damaging the indoor unit 190. Alternatively, indoor unit 190 houses only motion sensor 112.
[027] Figure 9 illustrates an optional stabilizer 207. The stabilizer 207 can assist the motion sensor 112 in detecting the movements 114 of the user who sits or
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 32/170
28/87 which is found in the inner portion 184 of the monitoring system 100. As this disclosure explained above, the monitoring system 100 may include the motion sensor 112 which generates the sensory output signal 108 representing the movement 114 associated with the child 102. However, tests have shown that sensitivity to movement can be reduced on soft surfaces. That is, when the monitoring system 100 rests on the carpet, on a bed or on another relatively soft surface, the movements of the child 114 can be dampened and possibly not sufficiently detected by the motion sensor 112. The stabilizer 207 is thus a relatively rigid component that helps provide consistent detection of the child's movements 114. Although the stabilizer 207 can be of any shape, Figure 9 illustrates the stabilizer 207 as a flat longitudinal plate that is placed or arranged below the padded pad 122. The stabilizer 207 is thus located below the indoor unit 190, but on top of a soft or uneven surface (again, such as a carpet covering or a bed). The stabilizer 207 thus provides a rigid support surface that promotes more constant values of the sensory output signal 108 generated by the motion sensor 112. The stabilizer 207 can thus be an optional component for improved performance in some situations.
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 33/170
29/87 [028] As Figure 9 also illustrates, stabilizer 207 may have additional features. As the reader can imagine, the 207 stabilizer can be of a size and shape that is very heavy for some people. The stabilizer 207 can thus be formed from a lightweight polymer or plastic material to aid manual handling. In addition, stabilizer 207 may have holes, voids, or openings 208 shaped or perforated through its material thickness. These holes, voids, or openings 208 also reduce material weight (and cost), thereby making the stabilizer 207 easier to insert and remove. The size (width and length) and material thickness can be chosen for better signal stabilization and ease of use. THE
stabilizer 207 can also Tue resources in alignment that are inserted or aligned with the cushion padded 122 or the mattress 123.[029] The Figures 10 The 13 illustrate capabilities
conductive, according to the exemplary modalities. As this disclosure has been explained previously, the exemplary embodiments can incorporate one or more of the conductive wires 202 that electrically conduct electrical power (e.g., current and voltage). These conductive wires 202 can assist the humidity sensor 150 in determining the moisture 152 associated with the child 102
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 34/170
30/87 (illustrated in Figures 1 and 2) that is or is sitting in the monitoring system 100. Figure 10, for example, illustrates the conductive threads 202 woven or embroidered on the padded pillow 122 (or on the mattress 123). As the humidity sensor 150 can conduct current and voltage electrically, the pad 122 or the mattress 123 can include a conductive textile 203 which has one or more of the conductive wires 202 to aid sensory capabilities. For example, humidity sensor 150 can apply or transmit current and / or electrical voltage through conductive wires 202 to determine humidity 152. Conductive wires 202 can electrically connect to indoor unit 190 (perhaps via a cable with male connectors / female, not shown for simplification purposes), thus allowing the humidity sensor to read or measure the current, voltage, capacitance and / or resistance transmitted by the conducting wires 202. The humidity sensor 150 thus receives or generates the sensory output signals 108 transmitted through or determined from the conductor wires 202 to infer the humidity 152 associated with the child 102. Although the conductor wires 202 can be located in any location or position, Figure 10 illustrates the conductor wires 202 integrated within of an upper (perhaps padded) surface of the padded pad 122 (or mattress 123). That is, the conductive threads 202 may need to be only woven or embroidered within
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 35/170
31/87 a central region of the padded pad 122 or mattress 123. Exemplary modalities can thus include the conductive threads 202 as the intelligent conductive textile 203 to infer or measure the humidity 152 associated with the user.
[030] Figure 11 illustrates an optional sensory installation. Here, the conductive threads 202 can be integrated into at least a portion of an upper textile product floor 180. When the user (such as the child 102 shown in Figures 1 and 2) sits, plays or rests in the interior portion 184, the The user can sit directly above the conductor wires 202. The conductor wires 202 can thus transmit current, voltage, capacitance and / or resistance that can represent moisture 152. There are many schemes and techniques for using conductor wires 202 to determine humidity 152, and the exemplary modalities are agnostic and can use any of the schemes and techniques. The humidity sensor 150 generates the sensory output signal 108 which represents that the child 102 is dry, sweaty, nervous, emotionally upset and / or has a wet / dirty diaper (as explained above).
[031] Figure 12 illustrates yet another placement and configuration of the conductive threads 202. Although the conductive threads 202 can be woven, embroidered, or otherwise integrated anywhere in the upper textile product 180, Figure 12 illustrates a mobile plaster 204 The plaster
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 36/170
32/87
204 contains conductive wires 202 and can be placed, arranged or located for economical results. For example, patch 204 may be a separate and / or purchased component that adds moisture sensor 150 to monitoring system 100. As patch 204 integrates conductive wires 202, patch 204 can be placed under child 102 to detect better the humidity 152. Although the exemplary modalities can establish wireless communication between the plaster 204 and the indoor unit 190, Figure 12 illustrates an electrical cable 205. The electrical cable 205 connects electrically to the indoor unit 190 for transmitting data. data / signal. The electrical cable 205 can thus transmit the sensory output signals 108 to the indoor unit 190 for processing and analysis. Electric cable 205 can alternatively or additionally connect to auxiliary unit 160 for processing and analysis.
[032] Figure 13 illustrates an architecture or schematic view for conductor wires 202. Electrical male and female connectors 206a and 206b establish an electrical connection (via electrical cable 205) between conductor wires 202 and humidity sensor 150 (perhaps internal unit 190). The indoor unit 190 receives electrical power (current and voltage) from a power supply 207. Figure 13 illustrates power supply 207 as a
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 37/170
33/87 internal DC battery, but the 207 power supply can be based on a connection to the AC electric grid (and perhaps AC / DC conversion, if necessary). Regardless, AC or DC electrical power is applied to the conductive wires 202, and the humidity sensor 150 generates the sensory output signal 108. Exemplary modalities can then process the sensory output signal 108 to determine the humidity 152.
[033] Figure 14 further illustrates the padded pillow 122 or mattress 123, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the pad 122 or mattress 123 may have an internal cavity 192 into which the internal unit 190 is inserted. (Remember that the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 can rest below the upper textile product 180, as shown in Figure 7 best illustrates). The internal unit 190 may have the external compartment 194 which houses the internal mechanical and / or electronic components (such as one or more of the sensors 104 and perhaps the contact mechanism 140). The padded pad 122 or mattress 123 may additionally have internal channel 196 through which physical cable 166 (illustrated in Figure 7) to auxiliary unit 160 is routed or inserted. The padded pad 122 or mattress 123 can thus contain at least some of the sensors 104 internally which help to infer the humidity 152 and / or the overall situation 106 of the user.
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 38/170
34/87 [034] Exemplary modalities may include different purchase packages. The monitoring system 100 can be marketed and offered for sale using different combinations of components. For example, a buyer can purchase textile product 180 with mattress 123 (with or without inner cavity 192 and / or inner channel 196), as a less expensive package without monitoring capabilities. If the buyer subsequently wants monitoring capabilities, the auxiliary unit 160, the internal unit 190 and optionally the stabilizer 207 (and, if necessary, the pad 122 and / or the mattress 123) can be purchased together as a monitoring kit , including, for example, humidity sensor 150 (for example, conductive textile 203), motion sensor 112, and contact mechanism 140. The buyer, in other words, can separately purchase auxiliary unit 160 and indoor unit 190 (and, if necessary, padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123) as a retrofit option that adds monitoring capabilities. However, exemplary modalities can be offered as a complete package. That is, textile product 180, padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123, auxiliary unit 160, and indoor unit 190 can be purchased together for immediate monitoring capabilities.
[035] Figure 15 is a simple illustration of the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 39/170
35/87 contact mechanism 140, according to the exemplary modalities. Exemplary modalities activate the contact mechanism 140 to provoke a response in the user (such as the child 102 shown in Figures 1 and 2) who is sitting or in the inner portion 184. If any sensor 104 indicates that the user has stopped breathing for a period of time outside a limit value, contact mechanism 140 responds with a physical input. Physical entry causes the child 102 to resume breathing. Figure 15, for example, illustrates one or more movable dowels 210a and 210b. Dowels 210a and 210b, when activated, extend upward from the inner unit 190. Each dowel 210 slides upwards in contact with the padded pad 122 or with the mattress 123. Each dowel 210 can even slide through the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 (as the following paragraphs will explain). Each pin 210 can provide a force that impacts the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 below the child 102. Alternatively, the pin 210 can slide partially or completely through the mattress 123. In fact, the pin 210 can slide completely through the padded pillow 122 and / or mattress 123 and pokes directly at a lower surface of the inner portion 184 and thus the child 102. Regardless, pin 210 provides a force that can be felt by the child
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 40/170
36/87
102 (even through fabric covers, sheets, clothes and blankets). In simple words, the contact mechanism 140 shakes or pushes the child 102 to promote breathing, thereby restoring the sensory output signal 108 (generated by the movement sensor 112) above the apnustic state 130.
[036] Figure 16 is a block diagram that illustrates the operating environment, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, auxiliary unit 160 establishes communication via communication network 176 with any device, such as the parents' smart cell phone 118. Auxiliary unit 160 can thus have a hardware processor 220 (for example, μΡ), circuit application-specific integrated (ASIC), or other component that performs an auxiliary side algorithm 222 stored on a local memory device 224. The auxiliary side algorithm 222 can instruct hardware processor 220 to perform operations, such as receiving or determining the sensory output signal 108 representing temperature 164 detected by temperature sensor 162. Auxiliary side algorithm 222 can thus also instruct hardware processor 220 to invoke a transceiver (TX / RX) 226 for transmission without signal wire through communication network 176 (perhaps for smart phone 118).
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 41/170
37/87 [037] Auxiliary unit 160 can also communicate with indoor unit 190. Figure 16 illustrates a USB 228 interface for serial communication over high-speed USB over physical cable 166, but wireless communication can also be established via communication network 176. Regardless, the internal unit 190 can also have a hardware processor 230 (eg μΡ), application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or another component that runs an internal side algorithm 232 stored in a local memory device 234. The internal side algorithm 232 can instruct hardware processor 230 to perform operations, such as sending the sensory output signal (or signals) generated by motion sensor 112 and / or by the humidity sensor 150 to the auxiliary unit 160. The auxiliary unit 160 can thus use any of the sensory output signals 108 to infer the user's situation 106 and even the having contact mechanism 140. In an alternative embodiment, the internal unit 190 can establish communication via communication network 176 directly with any device, such as the parental smart cell phone 118. In addition, the internal side algorithm 232 can instruct hardware processor 230 to perform operations, such as receiving or determining sensory output signal 108 (such as motion 114 detected by the sensor
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 42/170
38/87 of movement 112 and / or by the humidity 152 detected by the humidity sensor 150). The indoor unit 190 may also incorporate temperature sensor 162, thereby generating or receiving the sensory output signal 108 representing temperature 164. The indoor unit 190 may also include a transceiver for the wireless transmission of signals over the network. communication 176 (perhaps to the smart phone 118).
[038] Smart phone 118 can also analyze the sensory output signal (or signals) 108. Auxiliary side algorithm 222 can instruct hardware processor 220 to send any of the sensory output signals 108 to any destination, such as the smart phone 118. The internal side algorithm 232 can instruct hardware processor 230 to send any of the sensory output signals 108 to any destination, such as smart phone 118. When smart phone 118 receives the signal (or signals ) of sensory output 108, the smart phone 118 can use its computing / processing resources to infer the user's situation 106. As the reader probably understands, the smart phone 118 also has a hardware processor 240 that runs a stored 242 mobile application on a local memory device 244. The mobile app 242 can instruct hardware processor 240 to infer the situation of user 106 with based on the signal (or signals) of
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 43/170
39/87 sensory output 108.
[039] Exemplary modalities can create information / data packages. Any information or data can be sent or received as data packets according to a packet protocol (such as any of the Internet Protocols). Data packets contain bits or bytes of data that describe the contents, or payload, of a message. A header for each data packet can contain routing information that identifies a source address and / or a destination address. Each hardware processor 220, 230 and 240 can be instructed to inspect any data packet for a network address (such as an Internet protocol address).
[040] Exemplary modalities can be applied regardless of the network environment. Exemplary modalities can be easily adapted to stationary or mobile devices that have cellular, WI-FI®, near field, BLUETOOTH® or any other wireless capability. Exemplary modalities can be applied to mobile devices that use any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and any signaling standard (such as the IEEE 802, GSM / CDMA / TDMA family of standards or any cellular standard, and / or the ISM band). Exemplary modalities, however, can be
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 44/170
40/87 applied to any processor controlled device operating in the radio frequency domain and / or the Internet Protocol (IP) domain. Exemplary modalities can be applied to any processor-controlled device that uses a distributed computing network, such as the Internet (sometimes, alternatively, known as the World Wide Web), an intranet, a local area network (LAN), and / or a wide area network (WAN). Exemplary modalities can be applied to any processor-controlled device that uses power line technologies, in which signals are communicated via electrical wiring. In fact, the exemplary modalities can be applied independently of the physical components, physical configuration or pattern (or patterns) of communication.
[041] Exemplary modalities can use any processing component, configuration or system. Any hardware processor can be multiple processors, which can include distributed processors or parallel processors on a single machine or on multiple machines. The processor can be used to support a virtual processing environment. The processor may include a state machine, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), programmable port matrix (PGA), including a PGA Field or
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 45/170
41/87 state. When any of the processors executes instructions to perform operations, it can include the processor that performs the operations directly and / or facilitates, directs or cooperates with another device or component to perform the operations.
[042] Figures 17 to 18 are more detailed illustrations of the contact mechanism 140, according to the exemplary modalities. Contact mechanism 140 can be activated in response to sensory output signal 108 generated by any of sensors 104 (such as motion sensor 112). When the sensory output signal 108 generated by motion sensor 112 (either analog or digital) is received, the internal side algorithm 232 can cause the sensory output signal 108 to be compared to inserts in an electronic database 250. The electronic database 250 can be filled with values of the sensory output signal 108 that require the activation of the contact mechanism 140. If the value or values associated with the sensory output signal 108 match or satisfy an entry in the electronic database 250 then, exemplary modalities can perform a corresponding action. For example, if the sensory output signal 108 indicates apnetic state 130, then perhaps the child's breathing has stopped. The electronic database 250 can therefore contain an instruction, command or rule that causes the mechanism
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 46/170
42/87 of contact 140 is thus activated by propelling pin 210 in contact with the padded pad 122 and / or with the mattress 123 below the child 102. Exemplary modalities can even stimulate or nudge the child 102, according to the following paragraphs explain.
[043] As Figure 17 illustrates the contact mechanism 140 shakes the child 102 to resume breathing. Electronic database 250 can identify, send or transmit a corresponding motor command 252 to contact mechanism 140. When contact mechanism 140 activates, a motor 254 causes pin 210 to move and impact pad pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 below the child 102. That is, when the motor 254 receives electrical power (DC battery or AC grid), the motor 254 acts, for example, it rotates or turns. The contact mechanism 140 converts the rotational movement in the motor 254 into a translational sliding movement in the pin 210. The pin 210 thus moves upwards and reaches the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 with a force 256 and a speed 258 The pin 210, in simple words, shakes or pushes the child 102 to promote the resumption of breathing. Exemplary modalities can thus poke or push until the sensory output signal 108 indicates that normal breathing has resumed.
[044] Figure 18 further illustrates the database
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 47/170
43/87 electronic data 250. The electronic database 250 can contain predefined levels of situation 106 (such as comfort 110) for different combinations and values of the sensory output signals 108 generated by the various sensors 104. Although the electronic database 250 can have any configuration, for simplification purposes, Figure 18 illustrates electronic database 250 as a table 260 that electronically maps, relates or identifies different values and combinations of sensory output signals 108 to the corresponding situation 106 and / or comfort 110 of the user. In fact, electronic database 250 may have inputs that associate sensory output signals 108 with corresponding motor commands 252. Figure 18 illustrates electronic database 250 as being locally stored in memory device 234 of internal unit 190 , but some or all of the electronic database entries can be remotely maintained on some other device or network location (as the following paragraphs will explain). Alternatively, hardware processor 230 and / or memory device 234 can be maintained or housed in some other device or network location, separate from internal unit 190. Although Figure 18 illustrates only a few entries, in practice the electronic database 250 can contain many electronic database entries that richly define the situation
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 48/170
44/87
106, comfort 110 and / or motor controls 252 for small increments in sensory output signals 108 and / or detailed combinations thereof.
[045] Exemplary modalities can thus consult the electronic database 250. Once any of the sensory output signals 108 is determined, the internal side algorithm 232 can instruct processor 230 to consult the electronic database 250 to determine situation 106, comfort 110 and / or engine controls 252. Exemplary modalities can thus determine any numerical values associated with sensory output signals 108 and then perform a database search to retrieve entries corresponding. For example, each motor command 252 can define or specify values for force 256 and / or speed 258 (illustrated in Figure 17) that pushes or punctures the pad 122 and / or mattress 123 to promote a resumption of breathing.
[046] Referring back to Figure 17, the engine command (or commands) 252 instructs engine 254. Once engine command 252 is determined, engine command 252 is sent to engine 254, for example, by the internal unit 190. Motor control 252 instructs motor 254 to act, for example, to move or rotate, thus causing pin 210 to slide and push or poke the padded pad 122
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 49/170
45/87 and / or the mattress 123. Motor control 252, in particular, can specify a rotational speed, torque, duration and / or rotational angle at which motor 254 must rotate to create force 256 at speed 256 that shakes or pushes the child who is not breathing 102. Exemplary modalities can thus act correspondingly to peg 210 until the sensory output signal 108 indicates that breathing has resumed.
[047] Figures 19 and 20 are even more detailed illustrations of the contact mechanism 140 and the internal unit 190, according to the exemplary modalities. Figure 19A shows a top view, Figure 19B shows an isometric view, and Figure 20 shows an internal sectional view. The outer compartment 194 is preferably molded by a rigid material (such as plastic or other polymer) that substantially protects and covers contact mechanism 140. Contact mechanism 140 locally compresses at least a portion of the pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 below the child 102 (as illustrated in Figures 1, 7, 15 and 17) in response to the situation of the user 106. For example, if the exemplary modalities assume or infer the apnetic state 130, the contact mechanism 140 it can be activated to shake or push the child to resume breathing. Remember that the 112 motion sensor can be used to detect the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 50/170
46/87 the child's inhalation, exhalation and other respiratory events (as explained above). If child 102 stops breathing or stops breathing, contact mechanism 140 can be activated. The contact mechanism 140 can nudge or repeatedly push the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123, thereby rocking or nudging the child. The contact mechanism 140, in other words, disturbs the child to promote the child's resumption of breathing.
[048] Figure 19 illustrates contact mechanism 140. Contact mechanism 140 can convert rotational movement into translational and piston movement. The outer compartment 194 may have a pair of open cylinders 270a and 270b exposing the pair of pins 210a and 210b. Each cylinder 270a and 270b has a bore diameter and length dimensioned to allow vertical, translational and sliding movement of the corresponding pegs 210a and 210b. Each pin 210a and 210b is connected to a rotating swing arm, respectively. The pivoting movement of the swing arms 272a and 272b translates into sliding down and upward movement of the pins 210a and 210b. Each swing arm 272a and 272b comes into contact with a respective cam 274a and 274b mounted on a camshaft 276 and driven by it. In one embodiment, a meat shaft position sensor 278 can be mounted
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 51/170
47/87 on the meat axis 276 to detect positional and / or rotational changes. The motor 254 is connected to the meat shaft 276. The meat shaft position sensor 278 can rotate its sensory output signal 108 in response to the rotational movements of the meat shaft 276, whether going forward and backward or in the anti-direction -schedule. Each swing arm 272a and 272b can have one or more springs 280a and 280b to allow the corresponding pin 210a and 210b to return to a desired position (such as the lower inoperative center or the resting position). Exemplary modalities can thus convert rotational inputs of motor 254 into linear displacements of pins 210a and 210b.
[049] Exemplary modalities can thus drive pins 210a and 210b. The electrical power (whether AC or DC battery, not shown for the sake of simplicity) causes the motor 254 to rotate the meat axis 276. As the reader can imagine, the pins 210a and 210b slide up and down in response to rotational movement of the meat axis 276 (according to a profile of the respective meat 274a and 274b). As the meat axis 276 rotates (either clockwise or counterclockwise), meat 274a and 274b also rotate and pivot the swing arms 272a and 272b in contact. Each swing arm 272a and 272b thus forces its corresponding pin 210a and 210b to slide up or down into the cylinder
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 52/170
48/87 corresponding to 270a and 270b. Each alternating peg 210a and 210b locally compresses the padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123, thereby conferring or causing vertical forces and vertical movement on the padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123. As the pegs 210a and 210b act in a way corresponding, the forces are given to the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 and propagate within them. The corresponding pins 210a and 210b can thus be felt by the user who is above the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123.
[050] Exemplary modalities can thus respond to apnustic state 130. When apnusic state 130 is determined (as illustrated with reference to Figure 17), exemplary modalities can activate contact mechanism 140. Motor 254 causes dowels 210a and 210b act accordingly, thereby spearing and nudging the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123. Dowels 210a and 210b can impact the padded pad 122 and / or the mattress 123 in varying amplitude and frequency, depending on configurable parameters (such as rotational speed and motor direction 254 and meat profiles 274a and 274b). As the pegs 210a and 210b nudge the padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123, the material is compressed, thus transferring vertical movement and strength to the child
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 53/170
49/87 is above the padded pillow 122 and / or the mattress 123. The child is thus gently rocked or even agitated, which can promote the resumption of breathing. Exemplary modalities can thus push, poke or even shake the child 102 in an alert or awareness that can overcome the apnustic state 130.
[051] Figure 21 illustrates remote activation, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, motor 254 can be ordered to start and force pins 210a and 210b to move and push the user (such as child 102). Suppose, for example, that parents simply want to hear the child's voice (perhaps as captured by microphone 170). Parents can thus use their smart phone 118 to order the indoor unit 190 to slide pins 210a and 210b. The mobile application 242, for example, may have a setting or setting that causes the smart phone 118 to display a graphic control associated with the motor control 252. When parents select the graphic control (such as by tapping a button icon displayed by the smart phone 118), mobile app 242 generates motor command 252. Mobile app 242 causes smart phone 118 to send motor command 252 to contact mechanism 140 (perhaps via auxiliary unit 160 and / or the unit internal 190). Motor controller 252 is preferably transmitted wirelessly via
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 54/170
50/87 of communication network 176 (shown in Figure 16) to a network address (for example, IP address) associated with auxiliary unit 160 and / or internal unit 190. Motor command 252, however, can be transmitted via physical cable 166 or wirelessly to motor 254 operating on indoor unit 190. As motor 254 rotates, pin 210 touches or impacts padded pad 122 and / or mattress 123 (as shown in Figure 17). The child 102 will thus feel the alternating up and down movement of the pins 210, perhaps causing the child 102 to laugh or cry. The microphone 170 can even capture the child's voice for transmission back to the smart phone 118, thereby calming the parents with the child's responsive voice.
[052] Exemplary modalities can thus include remote signaling. Caregivers and parents can remotely issue the 252 engine command to cause responsive speech, movement and / or promote breathing in the user / child. For example, if the child's lack of movement becomes a concern, the parents can easily and gently push or swing the child 102 (through the slide pin 210) to invoke responsive movements or sounds. In fact, the auxiliary side algorithm 222, the internal side algorithm 232, and / or the mobile application 242 can individually or cooperatively instruct the engine
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 55/170
51/87
254 to rotate. The engine 254 can even be ordered to rotate or rotate at different speeds for different responses. A slow rotational speed, for example, acts correspondingly slowly on pin 210, while a fast rotational speed produces rapid agitation or kneading action. Exemplary modalities can thus gently awaken or stir the user, depending on the situation. As the exemplary modalities evaluate the sensory output signals 108, the exemplary modalities can automatically generate motor command 252 to affect movement and / or speech. The sensory output signals 108 can thus be compared to the limit values that define situations in which the motor 254 must run at different speeds.
[053] Exemplary modalities can also trigger pin 210 autonomously. This disclosure previously explained how motion sensor 112 detects the child's breathing. If the motion sensor 112 generates a zero or low output signal, the exemplary modalities may infer that the child has stopped breathing. Exemplary modalities can then autonomously generate motor command 252 to trigger pin 210 almost immediately. Auxiliary side algorithm 222, for example, can be configured to immediately generate motor command 252 in response to the unit
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 56/170
52/87 null / low output signal from motion sensor 112. The inner side algorithm 232 and mobile application 242 can also be configured to generate and send motor command 252. These cumulative motor commands 252 ensure that pin 210 acts accordingly and shakes or pushes the child to resume breathing.
[054] Figure 22 illustrates an optional presence detection 290, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the exemplary modalities can detect when the child 102 sits or is on top of the padded pillow 122 and / or the mattress 123. Any output generated by sensors 104 can thus be used to determine whether a user (such as the child 102) is at the top or is seated within the monitoring system 100. For example, when the child 102 rests, the motion sensor 112 detects the child's breathing and other body movements 114 (as explained above). However, if the motion sensor 112 has a baseline sensory output signal or 0 (zero) 108, then the exemplary modalities can be programmed or configured to assume that no user is at the top or within the control system. that is, if the sensory output signal 108 is below perhaps a minimum value 292, then the inner side algorithm 232 may infer that the monitoring system 100 is
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 57/170
53/87 unusable. Similarly, if humidity sensor 150 (perhaps integrating conductor wires 202) determines a baseline or 0 (zero) 108 sensory output signal, then the exemplary modalities can again be programmed or configured to assume that none user is at the top or inside the monitoring system 100. Exemplary modalities can thus conserve battery consumption / electrical power when the child's presence is not detected.
[055] Presence detection 290 can also influence other components. For example, indoor unit 190 may be inactive when not in use. If presence detection 290 implies that monitoring system 100 is not being used, then indoor unit 190 may enter an inactive or off state. That is, when the sensory output signal 108 is equal to or below the minimum value 292, the inner side algorithm 232 can instruct the indoor unit 190 to stop processing any tasks or instructions associated with monitoring. Similarly, inner side algorithm 232 can also instruct or inform auxiliary unit 160 regarding presence detection 290, thus also allowing auxiliary unit 160 to stop processing any tasks or instructions associated with monitoring. However, when the sensory output signal
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 58/170
54/87
108 exceeds the minimum value 292, then processing can be recovered.
[056] Figures 23 and 24 illustrate a quality of rest 300, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the exemplary modalities can further define the child's comfort 110 based on the sensory output signal (or signals) generated by any of the sensors 104. For example, the exemplary modalities can infer the child's rest quality 300 based on in your movements 114. As the reader probably understands, poor rest patterns can affect mood, mental performance and physical energy. In simple words, the child's quality of rest 300 can help predict his emotional behavior, attention, physical abilities and routine. Exemplary modalities can, therefore, consult the electronic database 250 to predict the child's rest quality 300.
[057] Figure 24 further illustrates the electronic database 250. Here, the electronic database 250 can have entries that associate different sensory output signals 108 to their corresponding levels or measurements of the rest quality 300. Whenever the signal of sensory output 108 is received or determined, the exemplary modalities can consult the electronic database
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 59/170
55/87
250 for the rest quality 300 and / or corresponding comfort 110. As the reader can understand, calm movements and low voices probably indicate a good or high level of quality of rest. However, transient or erratic movements and crying may indicate poor quality of rest 300. The electronic database 250 can thus be filled with precise and / or rough associations between sensory output signals 108 and their corresponding levels or measurements of rest quality 300. The inner side algorithm 232 can instruct the inner unit 190 to identify or retrieve the rest quality 300 that corresponds to or satisfies the instantaneous or average sensory output signal 108 generated by sensors 104. Exemplary modalities can then report the quality of rest 300 to any destination (as the following paragraphs will explain).
[058] Figure 25 illustrates the monitoring of rest, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the exemplary modalities can monitor and record the child's daily activities. Sensory output signals 108 (generated by any of sensors 104) can be characterized and categorized for long-term analysis, reporting and monitoring. Some of the sensory output signals 108, for example, can be recognized as a moment of rest, while other output signals
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 60/170
56/87 sensory 108 can be recognized playing. Still other sensory exit signs 108 can be recognized as moments of crying, moments of anger and moments of crawling. Any sensory output signal 108 (generated by any of the sensors 104) can be compared to known signal patterns 310 and assigned to a corresponding activity 312. Any electronic record 314 can thus cumulatively accumulate the categorized activities of child 312 from according to time. Electronic record 314, in other words, tracks the time spent resting, playing and other activities. Exemplary modalities can thus record and report the time when child 102 falls asleep, the time when child 102 wakes up, daily hours of urination and / or other random and habitual activities. Figure 25 illustrates electronic register 314 locally stored within the internal unit 190. Some or all of the entries in the electronic register 314 can be stored in the auxiliary unit 160 and / or some other network location (such as the smart phone 118). The electronic record 314 can even be maintained remotely on a cloud-based server (as the following paragraphs explain).
[059] Figure 26 illustrates the positioning of pin 210, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the exemplary modalities represent the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 61/170
57/87 different sizes and ages of children that may be in the monitoring system 100. Since the monitoring system 100 can accommodate newborns to young children, peg 210 can be placed or located in a position that is effective for most users. As child 102 grows, pin 210 can be positioned to puncture or push the general location of chest cavities from newborns to young children. Figure 26 thus illustrates the pin 210 positioned along a longitudinal center line 320 of the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 and above an intermediate line 322 of the padded pad 122 or mattress 123. The pin 210 can be positioned below of a region of the thoracic cavity 324 that is sized to fit statistically or correspond to the general population from newborns to young children.
[060] Figures 27 to 29 illustrate packaging considerations, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the components and complexity of the contact mechanism 140 can have different configurations depending on the design, size, weight, cost and / or convenience. Figure 27, for example, illustrates the indoor unit 190 installed inside the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123. The indoor unit 190 contains or houses the contact mechanism 140. The motor 254 and / or the motion sensor 112 can also
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 62/170
58/87 be packaged inside the inner unit 190 and thus inside the padded pad 122 or mattress 123. When contact mechanism 140 is activated, pins 210a and 210b locally drill into an upper surface of padded pad 122 or mattress 123, thus, awakening the user above (as explained in the previous paragraphs).
[061] Figure 28, however, illustrates an alternative package. Here, at least some mechanisms and / or components can be packaged or located externally or partially externally on the padded pad 122 or on the mattress 123. For example, an internal unit size 190 can be reduced by packing the engine 254 outside the padded pad 122 or mattress 123, perhaps as a separate module or unit. The motor 254 can therefore have a drive shaft, gears, connection or any other mechanism (not shown) that connects to the internal unit 190 in order to slide the pins 210a and 210b. The indoor unit 190, in other words, can be reduced in size and weight by wrapping the motor 254 externally. This configuration can also assist the child 102 with a significantly obstacle-free surface.
[062] Figure 29 illustrates yet another alternative configuration. Here, the indoor unit 190 can be incorporated into the padded pad 122 or mattress 123. As
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 63/170
59/87 this above disclosure explained, the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 may have the inner cavity 192 into which the inner unit 190 is inserted (as shown in Figure 14 previously). (As the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123 can rest below the upper textile product 180, (as Figures 1 and 2, 5 and 7 illustrate better), here, the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123 can incorporate the internal unit 190 and, thus, the contact mechanism 140. The internal unit 190 may have the external compartment 194 that houses any of the sensors 104 and perhaps the contact mechanism 140. The padded pad 122 or the mattress 123 can thus contain internally the indoor unit and at least some of the sensors 104 which help to infer movement 114, humidity 152 and / or the overall situation 106 of the user.
[063] Figure 30 illustrates an additional packaging option, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the motion sensor 112 can be externalized and placed when desired. The above paragraphs describe the motion sensor 112 which is housed within the indoor unit 190. The motion sensor 112, however, can be a separate external component that is placed anywhere on or within the monitoring system 100. Figure 30, for example, illustrates motion sensor 112 as a movable or movable fob 330. Fob 330 can thus be a small package, stick or small form factor case
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 64/170
60/87 that houses the motion sensor 112. The fob 330 can then wirelessly transmit its sensory output signal (or signals) 108 (via a network interface to the communication network 176 in Figure 16) to internal unit 190 or auxiliary unit 160 for remote analysis or reporting. The fob 330, however, can have a physical and wired connection (perhaps via cable 332) to the indoor unit 190 or auxiliary unit 160. The fob 330 can thus be placed (just as inside the interior portion 184) very close to the user.
[064] Figures 31 and 32 are more detailed illustrations of the auxiliary unit 160, according to the exemplary modalities. Figure 31 illustrates the auxiliary unit 160 having a base 370, while Figure 32 is an exploded view of the individual components. Although the auxiliary unit 160 can have any exterior shape, this disclosure illustrates an elegant, modern and generally ovoid exterior shape. As Figure 32 illustrates, a top 372 and a bottom 374 can correspond or engage to form an outer compartment that houses the internal components. A printed circuit board 376 contains electronic components (such as temperature sensor 162, microphone 170, an audio amplifier 378, processor 220 and memory device 224). The 172 speaker can also connect to or interface with the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 65/170
61/87 printed circuit 376. Network interface 174 can also connect to or interface with printed circuit board 376 and an antenna 380 transmits and propagates wireless signals. Auxiliary unit 160 may also have a USB interface 228 with internal unit 190 (not shown for the sake of simplicity). An internal battery 382 can supply electrical power (current and voltage) to the internal components. The top 372 can have a light emitting diode 384 that connects to the printed circuit board 376. When the auxiliary unit 160 operates, the light emitting diode 384 can be powered with electrical power to provide a visual indication during operation .
[065] Figures 33 to 35 illustrate the local interpretation, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, auxiliary unit 160 receives sensory output signals 108 and infers user situation 106 (such as child comfort 110). The auxiliary unit 160, for example, can receive the sensory output signal 108 which represents the humidity 152 generated by the humidity sensor 150. The auxiliary unit 160 can additionally receive the sensory output signal 108 which represents the temperature 164 generated by the humidity sensor temperature 162 and the sensory output signal 108 generated by motion sensor 112. The auxiliary unit 160 can even receive a microphone output signal 108 generated by the microphone 170. The auxiliary unit 160 can
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 66/170
62/87 use any or all of the sensory output signals 108 to infer the situation 106 and / or the comfort 110 of the user.
[066] Figure 34 again illustrates the electronic database 250. Here, however, the electronic database 250 is illustrated as being locally stored in the memory device 224 of the auxiliary unit 160. The auxiliary unit 160 can thus receive any sensory output signals 108 and consult the electronic database 250. Auxiliary side algorithm 222 thus instructs auxiliary unit 160 to determine or recover from predefined situation 106, comfort level 110, and / or the control command corresponding engine 252. Again, although database 250 can have any configuration, Figure 34 illustrates in a simple way database 250 as table 260 that electronically maps, relates or associates values and combinations of sensory output signals 108 and motor commands 252 to situation 106 and / or comfort 110 corresponding to the user. In addition, some or all of the entries in the electronic database can be remotely maintained on some other device or network location. Exemplary modalities can therefore perform a database search and identify the corresponding inserts.
[067] Figure 35 further illustrates the local interpretation. Here, however, interpretation can
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 67/170
63/87 can be executed by the internal unit 190. That is, the internal unit 190 receives any of the sensory output signals 108 and queries the electronic database 250. The internal unit 190 can thus store the database 250 locally. , and the internal side algorithm 232 causes the internal unit 190 to recover situation 106, comfort 110, and / or the corresponding motor control 252 of the user.
[068] Figures 36 to 39 illustrate the remote interpretation, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the exemplary modalities can route or send the sensory output signals 108 to any remote device for determining the situation 106, comfort 110, and / or the engine command 252 of the user. Figure 36, for example, illustrates smart phone 118. Auxiliary unit 160 can load sensory output signals 108 to smart phone 118 for analysis and interpretation. The smart phone 118 can thus store the electronic database 250 locally on the local memory device 244 (illustrated in Figure 16). Auxiliary unit 160 can thus load, send or transmit sensory output signals 108 via communication network 176 (shown in Figure 16) to the network address associated with smart phone 118. When smart phone 118 receives sensory output 108, the mobile app 242 can instruct the smart phone 118 to infer the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 68/170
64/87 situation 106, comfort 110, and / or the engine control 252 of the user based on sensory output signals 108. The mobile app 242 can instruct the smart phone 118 to consult the database 250 and recover the situation 106, comfort 110, and / or the corresponding motor control 252. The smart phone 118 can then generate a graphical user interface (GUI) 390 on its display device 392. The graphical user interface 390 can thus explain or describe situation 106, comfort 110 and / or the command engine 252 with the use of text, images, video and other graphic content. Parents or caregivers are thus informed about comfort 110 in near real time based on environmental and physiological data.
[069] Figure 37 illustrates a cloud-based solution. Here, auxiliary unit 160 can send sensory output signals 108 over communication network 176 (shown in Figure 16) to a remote server 400. Suppose, for example, that user status 106 is determined as a subscription service web-based service provided by a service provider. Sensory output signals 108 can be sent as a service request over a private data network, over a private cellular network, and / or over the public Internet to the network address associated with remote server 400. When the remote server 400 receives the sensory output signals 108, the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 69/170
65/87 remote server 400 has a processor 402, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or other component that runs a server side algorithm 404 stored in a local memory device 406. The server side algorithm 404 can instruct processor 402 to infer the situation of user 106, based on sensory output signals 108 sent from auxiliary unit 160. That is, remote server 400 can query database 250 and retrieve situation 106, comfort 110 and / or corresponding 252 motor control. Remote server 400 can then send situation 106, comfort 110, and / or engine command 252 as a service response back to the network address associated with a requesting client (such as auxiliary unit 160). Remote server 400 may additionally or alternatively send situation 106, comfort 110, and / or motor control 252 as a message to the network address associated with the parent's smart phone 118.
[070] Figure 38 also illustrates a cloud-based solution. Here, however, the auxiliary unit 160 can rely on the communication capabilities of the smart phone 118. Suppose the auxiliary unit 160 has a short transmission range (for example, BLUETOOTH®, ISM band or infrared), a low battery charge or other limitation. Regardless, the auxiliary unit
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 70/170
66/87
160 can wirelessly send the sensory output signals 108 to the smart phone 118. When the smart phone 118 receives the sensory output signals 108, the mobile app 242 can instruct the smart phone 118 to route or load the sensory output signals 108 to remote server 400 for analysis (perhaps over a WI-FI® wireless local area network and / or a cellular long distance network). Exemplary modalities can therefore use the best or greatest power transmission capabilities of the smart phone 118 for remote interpretation. Remote server 400 queries database 250 and retrieves situation 106, comfort 110, and / or the corresponding motor command 252. Remote server 400 can then send situation 106, comfort 110, and / or engine command 252 as a service response back to the network address associated with the smart phone. Smart phone 118 can then display user status 106 (perhaps through GUI 390 illustrated in Figure 36). The smart phone 118 can additionally or alternatively wirelessly send situation 106, comfort 110, and / or motor control 252 back to auxiliary unit 160. Remote server 400 can also send situation 106, comfort 110 and / or motor control 252 to the network address associated with auxiliary unit 160.
[071] Figure 39 further illustrates the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 71/170
67/87 remote notification. Here, exemplary modalities can remotely notify any device or destination of situation 106, comfort 110 and / or engine control 252. Exemplary modalities, in other words, can initiate, send, or send an electronic text message, and- email, web page or other notification to alert you to discomfort, physical and / or emotional need. As most readers are considered familiar with text messages, Figure 39 illustrates a short message service (SMS) text message 410. Suppose, for example, that the auxiliary unit 160 carries the sensory output signals 108 to the server remote 400 for third party analysis. That is, the user may subscribe to a fee-based monitoring service provided by a hospital, security service, doctor or other service provider. Remote server 400 determines situation 106, comfort 110 and / or engine control 252 (perhaps by consulting database 250, as explained above). Remote server 400 can then retrieve one or more programmed notification addresses 412, such as the cell number associated with smart phone 118. Remote server 400 can then initiate and / or send situation 106, comfort 110, and / or motor control 252 as the SMS 410 text message to the smart phone 118. When the smart phone 118 receives the SMS 410 text message, the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 72/170
68/87 mobile application 242 can cause smart phone 118 to display information (perhaps through GUI 390 illustrated in Figure 36). The user (or the user's parents or caregiver) is thus informed remotely about the user's situation 106.
[072] The smart phone 118 and auxiliary unit 160 can also notify remotely. This disclosure previously explained that the smart phone 118, or the auxiliary unit 160, can determine, or be informed of situation 106, comfort 110 and / or engine control 252. Regardless, smart phone 118 and the auxiliary unit 160 can also be programmed to store and retrieve any of the notification addresses 412 and initiate the SMS 410 text message over a cellular network. Smart phone 118 and auxiliary unit 160 can additionally or alternatively send an electronic message via WI-FI®, BLUETOOTH®, or the Internet. Although exemplary modalities can notify the use of any standard or messaging technology, the SMS 410 text message is considered familiar to most readers.
[073] Figures 40 and 41 illustrate the audio in real time, according to the exemplary modalities. That disclosure explained earlier how auxiliary unit 160 can include microphone 170. Auxiliary unit 160 can,
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 73/170
69/87 thus generating analog or digital audio signals 430 that represent the user's voice (such as the child 102 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2). Exemplary modalities can thus transmit audio signals 430 (perhaps through the communication network 176 illustrated in Figure 16) to any destination. Figure 40, for simplification purposes, again illustrates the smart phone of parents 118. Auxiliary unit 160 can send audio signals 430 to the network address associated with smart phone 118. Mobile app 242 can make the smart phone 118 convert audibly and reproduce the 430 audio signals, thus allowing you to listen remotely in the child's voice.
[074] Figure 41 illustrates audible responses. Here, exemplary modalities can allow parents or another caregiver to talk to the user. Suppose, for example, that parents manually open or tactfully open the mobile app 242 and speak on their smart phone 118. As the reader can understand, smart phone 118 has a microphone and internal circuit (not shown for simplification purposes) that converts speech into voice signals 432 for transmission (perhaps via the communication network 17 6) to the network address (for example, Internet protocol address) associated with auxiliary unit 160. When auxiliary unit 160 receives signals
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 74/170
70/87 of voice 432, auxiliary unit 160 has processing and / or circuitry to output voice signals 432 through speaker 172. Parents can thus speak to their child using the smart phone 118.
[075] Figure 42 illustrates musical capabilities, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, auxiliary unit 160 can play a music file 440 or receive music in real time 442. For example, suppose that auxiliary unit 160 downloads and / or stores music file 440 locally. Auxiliary unit 160 can receive a command (such as a push button or a wireless message) that causes the auxiliary unit 160 to retrieve and play the music file 440. The auxiliary unit 160 can thus include an audio player 444 for playback and output music through speaker 172. Auxiliary unit 160 can additionally or alternatively receive music in real time 442 wirelessly as audio data from a broadcast service. Suppose, for example, that the smart phone of parents 118 sends music in real time 442 (perhaps via communication network 176) to the network address associated with auxiliary unit 160. The audio player 444 can thus process the music in real time 442 for transmission through speaker 172.
[076] Figures 43 to 45 are screenshots that
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 75/170
71/87 illustrate parameter settings, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, the 242 mobile application can cause any device (such as the smart phone 118 discussed in this document) to display the configuration options and settings for monitoring one or more users. The mobile application 242 can thus instruct the smart phone 118 to generate the graphical user interface 390 on the display device 392 (illustrated in Figure 36). A user of the smart phone 118 performs inserts that define the monitoring activities of the user found in the monitoring system 100 (illustrated in Figures 1 and 2). Figure 43, for example, illustrates a settings screen where different users (such as different babies) can be selected and added. Figure 44 illustrates another settings screen for selecting measurement parameters (such as English or metric units). Figure 45 illustrates yet another settings screen for configuring sensors 104 (illustrated in Figures 1 to 6 and 16). Exemplary modalities may have additional definitions for establishing user accounts, passwords, and notification addresses 412 (illustrated in Figure 39).
[077] Figures 46 to 50 are screenshots for manually adding child users, according to the exemplary modalities. This revelation explained
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 76/170
72/87 previously as exemplary modalities can monitor one or more child users (such as child 102 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2). Exemplary modalities can thus include options and definitions for adding a new profile that corresponds to a child user. Figure 47 is a screen capture to enter the child's name and birthday. Figure 48 is a screen capture to select an image to associate with the child's profile. Figure 49 illustrates the manipulation of the selected image (such as zoom and crop). Figure 50 thus illustrates the final profile screen that displays the child's name and image.
[078] Figures 51 to 54 are screenshots to establish a baby album, according to the exemplary modalities. As the reader probably understands, parents and family often collect photos, memorable moments, memorable moments and works of art that document the child's growing years. Exemplary modalities can automatically archive these historical artifacts as electronic files in a so-called baby album. As any electronic image is added to the child's baby album, exemplary modalities can allow parents to enter a textual description and / or date and time associated with any electronic image (Figures 51 to 53). Modalities
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 77/170
Exemplary 73/87 can also allow any electronic image to be captured with text and other graphics (Figure 54).
[079] Figures 55 to 57 are screenshots for recording calendars, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, exemplary modalities allow parents or other caregivers to track appointments, medications and other calendar events according to the date and time. Figure 55, for example, illustrates a monthly calendar view of upcoming events, while Figure 56 illustrates a daily view. Parents can thus add, modify and delete calendar inserts and establish reminder notifications (Figure 57).
[080] Figure 58 is a screen capture that illustrates the recording capabilities, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, exemplary modalities can historically store and track the child's growth over time. As the child's profile grows over time, the profile may include historical data and data that describe the child's weight, height and other physical measurements. Figure 58 thus illustrates an electronic graph of these measurements over time.
[081] Figures 59 to 64 are screen shots that illustrate electronic records, according to the exemplary modalities. This revelation, previously explained the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 78/170
74/87 electronic record 314 (illustrated in Figure 25) that stores a rich repository of sensory output signals 108 representing situation 106, comfort 110, and other child data. Exemplary modalities can thus record daily activities and other activities based on time. Figure 59, for example, illustrates daily activities over time. Parents can thus make inserts on their smart phone 118 to add, modify and delete inserts that describe the child's activities. Figures 60 and 61 illustrate documentary evidence of any activity. That is, parents can use the smart phone's audio, video and photo capabilities to electronically document any date-stamped data activities. Figures 62 to 64 illustrate monthly and weekly records of any activity (such as sleep time, bath time, tummy time and play time), along with explanatory pop-up messages or other textual descriptors.
[082] Figures 65 to 67 are alternative configurations of contact mechanism 140, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, pegs 210a and 210b can extend across the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 to awaken the user who is in the monitoring system 100. This disclosure explained how the indoor unit 190 can alternatively be incorporated
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 79/170
75/87 inside the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 (as illustrated with reference to Figures 14 and 29). That is, the pad 122 or mattress 123 may have the inner cavity 192 into which the inner unit 190 is inserted (as shown in Figure 14 previously). As the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 can rest below the upper textile product 180, here, the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 can incorporate the internal unit 190 and thus the contact mechanism 140. The pin 210 can thus , act correspondingly in contact with the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123. However, the pin 210 can optionally act correspondingly within the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123. That is, the padded pad 122 or the mattress 123 it may have an internal hollow shaft 650 on which the pin 210 slides. Exemplary modalities can thus arrange the pin 210 for close contact with the child 102 for maximum effect.
[083] Figures 66 to 67 are partial cross-sectional views of an exemplary embodiment of the padded pad 122 or mattress 123. Although the padded pad 122 or mattress 123 may have an internal material (such as internal material 652), which can be, for example, a foam padding, pin 210 can slide up and down inside the hollow shaft 650 (perhaps through the swing arm 272, as explained with reference to
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 80/170
76/87
Figure 20). The hollow shaft 650 can be molded, machined or drilled into the inner material 652. The hollow shaft 650 can have a rigid inner surface 654 that defines a longitudinal geometric axis LA-LA (illustrated with reference number 656). Although Figure 66 illustrates a cylindrical cross-sectional shape, pin 210 and hollow shaft 650 can have any cross-sectional shape. As Figure 67 illustrates, a cylindrical sleeve 658 can be inserted, pressed or molded into the hollow shaft 650. The pin 210 can slide into the cylindrical sleeve 658. The cylindrical sleeve 658 can thus have relevant properties that provide a surface with less friction and more durable. The outer diameter of the pin 210 and the inner diameter of the hollow shaft 650 and / or the cylindrical sleeve 658 can be selected to provide a desired clearance between them.
[084] Figures 68 to 69 illustrate linear translation, according to the exemplary modalities. Here, pin 210 moves up a linear distance (or stroke) 680 to give force 256. Figure 68 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portion of an exemplary monitoring system 100 that includes padded pad 122 with an overlapping mattress 123. The indoor unit 190 slides on the padded pad 122 (as explained with reference to Figures 6 to 8). When pin 210 is actuated, pin 210 extends upward from
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 81/170
77/87 of the internal unit 190 and reaches a ceiling of material 681 demarcating an upper internal region 682 of the padded pad 122. As the padded pad 122 has an internal construction 684 (such as foam, cotton, cellulose, or other fabric or material) , pin 210 locally compresses the roof of material 681 and force 256 propagates through the upper inner region 682 (and perhaps through the conductive wires 202) and into the mattress 123. Force 256 continues to propagate through the inner material 652 of the mattress 123 and manifests itself on an outer surface 686. Force 256 can also propagate through a mattress cover 688 (if any, and perhaps through conductive wires 202, if present in cover 688). Force 256 causes the outer surface 686 to at least lift, lift or lift with effort, thus causing a tactile sensation in the child 102. Exemplary modalities can thus be configured to slide pin 210 to confer force 256 that propagates through of any thickness of material in the upper inner region 682 of the padded pad 122 and the mattress 123. In simple words, the outer surface 686 of the mattress 123 is distributed with an amplitude, movement and / or magnitude that causes a response in the child 102.
[085] Figure 69 illustrates the alternative arrangement. Here, the internal unit 190 is contained within the mattress
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 82/170
78/87
123 to awaken the child 102. As the internal unit 190 can alternatively be inserted under the internal cavity 192 (as illustrated with reference to Figures 14 and 29), the pin 210 can act correspondingly (through its stroke 680) in contact with a ceiling of material 689 demarcating an upper inner region 690 of the mattress 123. As the pin 210 reaches the ceiling of material 689, the force 256 propagates through the inner material 652 of the upper inner region 690 and manifests itself on the outer surface 686 of mattress 123 (and perhaps through conductor wires 202, if present). Force 256 can also propagate through the mattress cover 688 (if any). Force 256 causes the outer surface 686 to at least lift, lift or lift with effort, thus causing a tactile sensation in the child 102. Exemplary modalities can thus be configured to slide pin 210 to confer force 256 that propagates through any thickness of material in the upper inner region 690 of mattress 123. The outer surface 686 of mattress 123 is distributed with an amplitude, movement and / or magnitude that causes a response in the child 102. In the example above, the inner unit 190 may be contained within the padded pad 122 instead of the mattress 123 with the same effect and operation, as described above.
[086] Design choices can be made. As the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 83/170
79/87 reader can now imagine, the inner construction 684 of the padded pad 122 and / or the inner material 652 of the mattress 123 can affect the magnitude and spread of force 256. In addition, the material thicknesses of the inner upper region 682 of the padded pad 122 and / or the upper inner region 690 of mattress 123 can also affect the magnitude and spread of force 256. The rotational speed of the engine 254 and the mechanical levers (for example, the meat profiles 274a and 274b, the length of the swing arms 272a and 272b, stroke 680, and spring forces 280a and 280b) can also affect the magnitude and propagation of force 256. Exemplary modalities can thus have many variable designs that are represented as inserts in the database electronic data 250 (as illustrated in Figure 18). Motor control 252, in other words, can be based on many variable designs that best provide the strength 256 to elicit a response in the child 102 [087] Alternative exemplary modalities may even come into contact with the child 102. As the reader you can imagine, peg 210 can extend across the outer surface 686 of mattress 123 (or padded pad 122) to transmit force 256 directly to the child's back, stomach or other body area. The mattress 123 (or the padded pillow 122) can thus have an external or upper stabilizer or opening that exposes the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 84/170
80/87 hollow shaft 650 (illustrated in Figures 66 and 67). The hollow shaft 650 can extend entirely through the inner material 652 of the mattress 123 (or the padded pad 122), thus having open ends through which the pin 210 acts correspondingly. As the pin 210 slides up and down, the pin 210 passes through the opening and extends over or beyond the outer surface 686 of the mattress 123. As the pin 210 protrudes, the pin 210 periodically enters in contact with the child 102. As the mattress 123 (or the padded pillow 122) can have the mattress cover 688 (or padded pillow cover 122), the fabric material and fit can be selected to stretch when the pin 210 raises, reducing or eliminating wear on the sheets. Force 256 and stroke 680 can also be chosen to ensure that the push or nudge is felt in a tactile way through the child's clothing.
[088] It should be noted that the padded pad 122 and the mattress 123 can be the same, that is, the monitoring system 100 can include only the padded pad 122, and in such an embodiment, the padded pad 122 works like the mattress 123. The monitoring system 100 may alternatively include only the mattress 123, and in such an embodiment, the mattress 123 acts as the padded pillow 122. The monitoring system 100 may include,
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 85/170
81/87 alternatively, both the mattress 123 and a padded pad 122, and in such an embodiment, the mattress 123 can overlap the padded pad 122 and vice versa.
[089] Figures 70 to 73 illustrate a suspension arch 700, according to the exemplary modalities. The suspension arch 700 can be attached to the monitoring system 100 to suspend objects, such as toys and the like. As this disclosure often describes a child user, Figure 70 illustrates a toy 702 hanging from the suspension arch 700. Although the suspension arch 700 can have any attachment mechanism, this disclosure illustrates a male end 704 that is inserted into side strips 708a and 708b and through the same stitched or attached to the outer wrapper 186 of the textile product 180. Although not shown, the suspension arch 700 may have a similar fastening mechanism on an opposite side of the textile product 180. Figure 70, for example, illustrates an insertion (illustrated by arrow 710) of the male end 704 into and through double side strips 708a and 708b. When the male end 704 is pushed down through the lower strip 708b, the strip 708b slides over a strip groove 712. Figure 71 thus illustrates an engagement (illustrated by arrow 714) with the strip groove 712. When the male end 704 is pulled up through the lower strip 708b, one end of the lower strip 708b can
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 86/170
82/87 attach or be inserted into a hole 716 of the strip groove 712. In addition, the upward movement of the male end 704 rests the lower strip 708b on an end end 718 (Figure 72) of the strip groove 712. As Figure 73 illustrates better, the male end 704 may have engagement body halves 720a and 720b. The strip groove 712 is formed, machined or molded in the body half 720a. The body half 720a thus has a thickness of material 722 that extends from an outer surface 724 to an inner surface 726. The strip groove 712 thus forms a flap 724 to grip the lower strip 708b, as well , ensuring and maintaining the suspension arch 700 in a substantially vertical orientation. Alternatively, the male end 704 can be formed as a unitary body.
[090] Figures 74 to 77 are schematic views that further illustrate operational environments for the additional aspects of the exemplary modalities. This disclosure explains how the smart cell phone 118, auxiliary unit 160, and / or indoor unit 190 can establish communication over communication network 176 (as illustrated with reference to Figure 16). Both the auxiliary unit 160 and the internal unit 190 may have wired or wireless transmission capabilities (such as transducer 226 illustrated in Figure 16). Although exemplary modalities can use any wireless technology
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 87/170
83/87 (such as BLUETOOTH or WI-FI), Figures 74 to 76 illustrate cellular capacity. That is, Figure 74 is a block diagram of a Subscriber Identity Module 800, while Figures 75 and 76 illustrate, respectively, Subscriber Identity Module 800 embedded in an 802 plug and an 804 card. of ordinary skill in the art recognize, the subscriber identity module 800 stores user information (such as an International Mobile Subscriber Identity, another identifier mobile number, Kl number, and other user information) and the entire portion the auxiliary side algorithm 222, the internal side algorithm 232 and / or the mobile application 242. As those of ordinary skill in the art will also recognize, plug 802 and card 804 each can interface physically and seamlessly with the smart cell phone 118, the auxiliary unit 160, and / or the indoor unit 190 (as shown in Figure 16).
[091] Figure 74 is a block diagram of the Subscriber Identity Module 800, either incorporated as the 802 plug in Figure 75 or as the 804 card in Figure 76. Here, the Subscriber Identity Module 800 comprises an 806 microprocessor (μΡ) that communicates with memory modules 808 through a data bus 810. Memory modules 808 can include read-only memory (ROM) 812, random access memory (RAM) and or flash memory
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 88/170
84/87
814, and the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) 816. The Subscriber Identity Module 800 stores some or all of the auxiliary side algorithms 222, the internal side algorithm 232, and / or the mobile application 242 in one or more memory modules 808. Figure 74 shows the auxiliary side algorithm 222, the internal side algorithm 232 and / or the mobile application 242 that reside in the Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory 816, may alternatively or additionally reside in the Memory Read Only 812 and / or Random Access Memory / Flash 814. An Input / Output module 818 handles communication between the Subscriber Identity Module 800 and the communication device. As the Subscriber Identity Modules are well known in the art, this disclosure need not further explain the operation and physical / memory structure of the 800 subscriber identity module.
[092] Figure 77 is an additional schematic view that illustrates the operating environment, according to the exemplary modalities. Figure 77 is a block diagram illustrating some components of the smart cell phone 118, auxiliary unit 160, and / or indoor unit 190. The component may include one or more radio transceiver units 820, an antenna 822, an array 824 digital baseband integrated circuits (chipset) and 826 male / machine interface (MMI).
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 89/170
Transceiver 85/87 includes transmitter circuit 828 and receiver circuit 830 for receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals. The transceiver unit 820 couples to antenna 822 to convert electrical current into and from electromagnetic waves. The digital baseband integrated circuit set 824 contains a digital signal processor (DSP) 832 and performs signal processing functions for audio (voice) and RF signals. The digital baseband integrated circuit set 824 may also include an onboard microprocessor 834 that interacts with the male / machine interface (MMI) 826. The male / machine interface (MMI) 826 may include a display device 836, a keyboard 838 and the Subscriber Identity Module 800. The onboard microprocessor 834 can also interface with the auxiliary side algorithm 222, the internal side algorithm 232, and / or the mobile application 242.
[093] Exemplary modalities can be applied to any signaling standard. As those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, Figures 74 to 77 can illustrate a Global System for mobile communication device (GSM). That is, exemplary modalities can use the signaling standard for the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Those of ordinary skill in the art, however, also recognize that exemplary modalities are
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 90/170
86/87 equally applicable to any communication device that uses the time division multiple access signaling (TDMA) standard, the code division multiple access signaling standard, the GSM-ANSI Dual-Mode signaling standard interoperability team (GAIT), or any variant of the GSM / CDMA / TDMA / GAIT signaling standard. Exemplary modalities can also be applied to other standards, such as the family
I.E.E.E. 802 standards, Industrial, Scientific and Medical band of the electromagnetic spectrum, BLUETOOTH® and any other.
[094] The exemplary modalities can be physically incorporated into a computer-readable storage medium. This computer-readable medium, for example, can include CD-ROM, DVD, tape, VCR, floppy disk, optical disc, memory card, memory unit and large-capacity discs. This computer-readable medium, or media, can be distributed to final subscribers, licensees and recipients. A computer program product comprises executable instructions per processor to monitor a user, as the paragraphs above explained.
[095] Although the exemplary modalities have been described with respect to various resources, aspects and modalities, those specialists and non-specialists in the
Petition 870190043781, of 05/09/2019, p. 91/170
87/87 subject will recognize that the exemplary modalities are thus not limited. Other variations, modifications and alternative modalities can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the exemplary modalities.
