Abstract
A distance reminder apparatus includes a detector module, a processor module, an alarm circuit, and a clock circuit. The detector module is used for detecting a user, and generating a detect signal accordingly. The processor module is used for generating a drive signal according to the detect signal. The clock circuit is used for providing a clock signal to the processor module, the processor module begins counting according to the clock signal when the detect signal indicates the user is within a predetermined distance. The drive signal generated by the processor module drives the alarm circuit to activate a indicator when a predetermined amount of time has elapsed.
