User-defined stimulation patterns for juvenile products
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a juvenile product based on a user-defined stimulation pattern for a juvenile product, the method comprising:
- recognizing, by one or more sensor systems of a mobile device, a user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product that is recognized by the mobile device by recognizing tapping by a user on a touch screen of the mobile device, wherein the tapping on the touch screen of the mobile device defines the user-defined vibration pattern;
determining, by one or more processors, control signals for one or more actuators of the juvenile product based on the recognized, user-defined stimulation pattern; and
in response to receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern, controlling the one or more actuators of the juvenile product to impart the user-defined stimulation pattern on the juvenile product.

Abstract
Systems and methods define a stimulation pattern for a juvenile product utilizing a mobile device that executes a mobile application that is linked to the juvenile product. The method comprises the step of recognizing, by the mobile device when executing the mobile app, the user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product. The stimulation pattern can be a vibration pattern or a motion pattern, and can be detected in a number of different ways by the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of determining control signals for the actuator(s) of the juvenile product based on the user-defined stimulation pattern that is recognized by the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of, in response to receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern, controlling the actuator(s) of the juvenile product based on the stored control signals for the user-defined stimulation pattern.

12. A system comprising:
-
a juvenile product that comprises; a juvenile-supporting structure; at least one actuator for imparting movement on the juvenile-supporting structure; and one or more juvenile product processors; a mobile device that is in communication with the juvenile product, wherein the mobile device comprises; one or more sensor systems; one or more mobile device processors; and a mobile application that is executed by the one or more processor, wherein; the one or more sensor systems of the mobile device are configured to recognize a user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product in at least one of the following manners; recognizing tapping by a user on a touch screen of the mobile device, wherein the tapping on the touch screen of the mobile device defines the user-defined vibration pattern; recognizing drawing by a user on a touch screen of the mobile device, wherein the drawing on the touch screen of the mobile device defines the user-defined movement pattern; and recognizing movement by a user of the mobile device in free space, wherein the movement of the mobile device in free space defines the user-defined movement pattern; and the one or more juvenile product processors and/or the one or more mobile device processors are configured to determine control signals for the at least one actuator of the juvenile product based on the recognized, user-defined stimulation pattern for later execution by the juvenile product in response to the juvenile product receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of controlling a juvenile product based on a user-defined stimulation pattern for a juvenile product, the method comprising:
-
recognizing, by one or more sensor systems of a mobile device, a user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product is recognized by the mobile device by recognizing drawing by a user on a touch screen of the mobile device, wherein the drawing on the touch screen of the mobile device defines the user-defined movement pattern; determining, by one or more processors, control signals for one or more actuators of the juvenile product based on the recognized, user-defined stimulation pattern; and in response to receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern, controlling the one or more actuators of the juvenile product to impart the user-defined stimulation pattern on the juvenile product.

23. A method of controlling a juvenile product based on a user-defined stimulation pattern for a juvenile product, the method comprising:
-
recognizing, by one or more sensor systems of a mobile device, a user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product that is recognized by the mobile device by recognizing movement by a user of the mobile device in free space, wherein the movement of the mobile device in free space defines the user-defined movement pattern; determining, by one or more processors, control signals for one or more actuators of the juvenile product based on the recognized, user-defined stimulation pattern; and in response to receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern, controlling the one or more actuators of the juvenile product to impart the user-defined stimulation pattern on the juvenile product. - View Dependent Claims (24)
