VEHICLE-INTEGRATED CHILD PRESENCE AND REMINDER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for implementing a vehicle-integrated child presence and reminder system, comprising:
- a control system implementing a computer processor, the control system integral with a vehicle; and
logic executable by the control system, the logic configured to implement a method, the method comprising;
monitoring an occupancy sensor activated in a vehicle, the occupancy sensor, when activated, indicative of a presence of a child in a car seat disposed in the vehicle;
collecting data from at least one vehicle sensor;
using the data collected from the at least one vehicle sensor and results of the monitoring of the occupancy sensor to determine if a triggering event has occurred; and
responsive to determining the triggering event occurred, generating an alert, and transmitting the alert to an alert component.

Abstract
A control system for implementing a vehicle-integrated child presence and reminder system includes a computer processor. The control system is integral with a vehicle. Logic is executable by the control system and is configured to monitor an occupancy sensor activated in a vehicle. The occupancy sensor, when activated, is indicative of a presence of a child in a car seat disposed in the vehicle. The logic is also configured to collect data from at least one vehicle sensor and, using the data collected from the vehicle sensor along with results of the monitoring of the occupancy sensor, the logic determines if a triggering event has occurred. In response to determining the triggering event has occurred, the logic is configured to generate an alert and transmit the alert to an alert component.

8. A method for implementing a vehicle-integrated child presence and reminder system, comprising:
-
monitoring, via a control system that is integral with a vehicle, an occupancy sensor activated in the vehicle, the occupancy sensor indicative one of a presence and an absence of a child in a car seat that is disposed in the vehicle; collecting data from at least one vehicle sensor; using the data collected from the at least one vehicle sensor and results of the monitoring of the occupancy sensor to determine if a triggering event has occurred; and responsive to determining the triggering event occurred, generating an alert, and transmitting the alert to an alert component. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
