Abstract

The present invention discloses a method to deliver a reminder message. The method includes a step of triggering a delivery of the reminder message upon detecting or sensing a reminder message required event-or-activity to prevent a person from forgetting or losing a person item. In an exemplary embodiment, the step of sensing the reminder message required event-or-activity includes a step of detecting or sensing an activity when the person preparing to leave a place for a next destination.

Claims

1. A reminder message device comprising:

a triggering functional component for triggering a delivery of a reminder message upon detecting or sensing a reminder message event or activity.

2. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

an electronic door opener for a motor vehicle implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a signal for opening a door of said motor vehicle for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

3. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a roof light in a motor vehicle implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a turning on of said roof light upon opening of a car door for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

4. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a roof light in a motor vehicle implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a turning on of said roof light upon opening of a car door for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

5. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a cigarette lighter adapter implemented with said triggering functional component for plugging into a cigarette lighter for detecting a turning on of an ignition key of a vehicle for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

6. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a garage door controller implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a signal to open or close a garage door for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

7. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a global position system (GPS) implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a turning on of said wireless communication device for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

8. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a wireless communication device implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a turning on of said wireless communication device for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

9. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

an accelerometer implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting an acceleration of said reminder message device for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

10. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

an accelerometer disposed on a pull-up handle of a wheeled luggage implemented with said triggering functional component for detecting a pull-up action of said handle for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

11. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a light sensor disposed car key holder implemented with said triggering functional component for sensing a light intensity change of said car key holder for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

12. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

an accelerometer disposed on a portable electronic device implemented with said triggering functional component for sensing an acceleration of said electronic device for triggering a delivery of said reminder message.

13. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

an audio output port for generating an audio pronunciation of a reminder message.

14. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a wireless transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal to deliver said reminder message as a textual short message.

15. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a wireless transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal to deliver said reminder message to a wireless communication device as a telephone message.

16. The reminder message device of claim 1 further comprising:

a wireless transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal to deliver said reminder message to a wireless communication device as a voice mail message.

17. The reminder device of claim 1 further comprising:

a user interface to allow for the device user to input a user-designated event or activity to trigger a delivery of said reminder message.

18. The reminder device of claim 1 further comprising a user interface to allow a device user to input a user-designated reminder message.

19. The reminder device of claim 1 further comprising:

a light emitter for projecting a light to alert a device user to acknowledge and process said reminder message.

20. The reminder device of claim 1 further comprising:

a user acknowledge button for allowing a device user to acknowledge receiving and processing said reminder message.

21. A method to deliver a reminder message comprising:

triggering a delivery of the reminder message upon detecting or sensing a reminder message required event-or-activity to prevent a person from forgetting or losing a person item.

22. The method of claim 21 wherein:

the step of sensing the reminder message required event-or-activity includes a step of detecting or sensing an activity when the person preparing to leave a place for a next destination.
