Smart diaper changing pad
First Claim
1. A smart scale system comprising:
- a scale comprising;
an ovular weighing platform comprising two elevated sidewalls connected to and curving up from opposite sides of a cushioned surface, the weighing platform comprising a rigid lower element beneath a foam upper element with a waterproof or water resistant outer surface;
four slip-resistant feet extending from the bottom side of the rigid lower element, each foot including a sensor configured to measure force or mass;
a processor configured to convert the readings from the four sensors to determine a weight reading;
a memory connected to the processor and configured to store the weight readings;
a Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy communication module configured to wirelessly transmit the weight readings to an electronic mobile device; and
a power source; and
an application running on the electronic mobile device that, when executed, causes one or more processors in the external computing device to;
wirelessly receive the weight reading from the wireless communication module of the smart scale system;
record the weight reading in a weight log associating the weight reading with a user profile;
display the weight reading on a screen of the electronic mobile device;
chart the weight readings in the weight log for the user profile over time; and
transmit the weight reading to a cloud data storage.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a smart diaper changing pad for weighing an infant or toddler and communicating the recorded information wirelessly to a mobile computer. The diaper changing pad incorporates force or mass sensors for measuring weight. The changing and cleaning pad and a separate computing system are wirelessly connected, either directly or through a network capable of both internal and external communication. An application installed on the mobile computer can track measurements from the diaper changing pad and keep a historical record, which may provide peace of mind and insight into a baby'"'"'s health and development. The key components of the product are a soft pad, a rigid platform, one or more sensors capable of measuring force or weight, a power source, a memory, a processor, and a wireless communication method. The invention can optionally include a display and a number of user inputs such as buttons or switches.
