Abstract

An electronic baby monitoring device includes a sensor monitor and a motion sensor. The motion sensor communicates with the sensor monitor and includes an accelerometer, a control module, an emitting module, a power source, and a switch. The accelerometer senses the acceleration value of the motion sensor. When the control module determines that at least two acceleration values sensed continuously by the accelerometer respectively reach or exceed a predetermined value, the control module turns on the switch to control the power source to provide power to the emitting module, generates control signals, and controls the emitting module to emit the control signals to the sensor monitor to direct the sensor monitor to take action.

Claims

1. An electronic baby monitoring device comprising:

a sensor monitor; and

a motion sensor communicating with the sensor monitor and comprising an accelerometer, a control module, an emitting module, a power source, and a switch, wherein, the accelerometer is to measure the acceleration value of the motion sensor, the emitting module is connected to the power source via the switch, the power source is capable of providing power to the emitting module when the switch is turned on, the control module is to turn on the switch to control the power source to provide power to the emitting module, generate control signals, and control the emitting module to emit the control signals to the sensor monitor when the control module determines that at least two acceleration values measured continuously by the accelerometer respectively reach or exceed a predetermined value;

the sensor monitor to take action according to the control signals from the motion sensor.

2. The electronic baby monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the control module is further to turn off the switch after controlling the emitting module to emit the control signals.

3. The electronic baby monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the sensor monitor comprises a phone module to communicate with a predetermined phone, a phone number of the predetermined phone is programmed into the motion sensor, the action the sensor monitor to take is that the sensor monitor calls the phone number and sends a predetermined message to the predetermined phone.

4. The electronic baby monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the sensor monitor comprises a phone module to communicate with a predetermined phone, a phone number of the predetermined phone is programmed into the motion sensor, the action the sensor monitor to take is that the sensor monitor dials the phone number.

5. The electronic baby monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the sensor monitor comprises a communication module communicating with external devices via Internet, the action the sensor monitor to take is that the sensor monitor sends a predetermined message to the external devices via Internet.

6. The electronic baby monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the accelerometer is a two-axis sensor.

7. The electronic baby monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the accelerometer is a three-axis sensor.
