Abstract

A motion-activated reminder calendar (1) having a front panel (38) and a rear panel (39) connected to one another by a plurality of sides (40), a calendar display (47) located on the front panel (38), a date display (4) having a plurality of day displays (9), a motion-activated sensor (5) electrically connected to a voltage source (34), a data storage means (42) electrically connected to the sensor (5), a record button (11) located on each day display (9) and electrically connected to the data storage means (42) and located on each day display (9) wherein the data storage means (42) records and stores the verbal reminders and a speaker (6) electrically connected to the data storage means (42) wherein the verbal reminder is transmitted through the speaker (6) on the selected day display (9) when motion is detected by the motion-activated sensor (5).

Claims

1. A motion-activated reminder calendar comprising:

a front panel and an opposing rear panel connected to one another by a plurality of sides;

a calendar display located on said front panel;

a voltage source for providing power to said calendar display;

said date display having a plurality of day displays;

at least one motion-activated sensor electrically connected to said voltage source;

a data storage means electrically connected to said at least one motion-activated sensor;

at least one record button electrically connected to said data storage means wherein said data storage means records and stores at least one verbal reminder for at least one of said plurality of day displays upon activation of said at least one record button;

said at least one record button is located on at least one of said plurality of day displays; and

at least one speaker electrically connected to said data storage means wherein said at least one verbal reminder is transmitted through said at least one speaker on at least one of said plurality of day displays when motion is detected by said at least one motion-activated sensor.

2. The motion-activated reminder calendar of claim 1 wherein:

each of said plurality of day displays is a liquid crystal display.

3. The motion-activated reminder calendar of claim 2 wherein:

said data storage means is a microprocessor wherein said microprocessor stores a plurality of days, months and years.

4. The motion-activated reminder calendar of claim 1 wherein:
