Method of monitoring sleeping infant
First Claim
1. A method of detecting high risk movements of a infant relating to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, comprising the steps of:
- generating a first electronic image of an infant by signaling a controller a location of a first plurality of pixels;
storing the location of said plurality of pixels thereby generating a reference image;
generating a second electronic image of the infant by signaling said controller the location of a second plurality of pixels; and
comparing said second electronic image to said first electronic image by determining a correlation between said first plurality of pixels to said second plurality of pixels thereby identifying a high risk movement.

Abstract
A method of detecting high risk movements of an infant relating to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome includes generating a reference image of an infant by signaling a controller a location of a first plurality of pixels. The first plurality of pixels are stored in a controller generating a reference image. A second electronic image of the infant is generating a second plurality of pixels that are signaled to the controller. The controller compares the second electronic image to the first electronic image by determining a correlation between the first plurality of pixels to the second plurality of pixels for determining if the infant has made a high risk movement.

14. A method of anticipating a risk of an infant contracting sudden infant death syndrome, comprising the steps of:
-
generating a reference image;
storing said reference image in a controller;
generating an active image of the infant;
transmitting said active image of the infant to said controller;
comparing said active image with said reference image for determining if said alarm situation exists; and
transmitting an alarm to a remote location if said alarm situation exist. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
