Multiple child unit monitor system
First Claim
1. A child monitor system comprising:
- a first transmitter unit that can monitor audio at a first location and can transmit first signals representative of the audio from the first location;
at least a second transmitter unit that can monitor audio at a second location and can transmit second signals representative of the audio from the second location; and
a receiver unit that can receive the first signals and the second signals, can emit a notification representing each of the first signals and the second signals, can sequentially listen for the first transmitter unit for a first duration and at least the second transmitter unit for a second duration during a listening cycle, and can continuously repeat the listening cycle,wherein the first duration and the second duration can be adjusted by a user to a different duration selected from a plurality of different duration options.

Abstract
A monitor system has at least first and second child units that can each monitor audio at a different location and can each transmit signals representative of the audio monitored. A parent unit can receive the signals from the first and second child units. In one aspect, the parent unit can have at least one multi-color notification light that can be illuminated in a first color when receiving the audio monitored by the first child unit and a second color different from the first color when receiving the audio monitored by the second child unit. In another aspect, the parent unit can emit an audible notification representing the audio monitored by each of the child units. In this aspect, a volume control is in communication with the parent unit and can be operated to adjust a volume level of the emitted audible notification for each of the child units independent of the other child units. In yet another aspect, the parent unit can emit a notification representing each of the signals and can sequentially listen for the first child unit for a first duration and at least the second child unit for a second duration during a listening cycle. In this aspect, the parent unit can continuously repeat the listening cycle and the first and second durations can be adjusted by a user to a different duration selected from a plurality of different duration options.

30. A monitor system, comprising:
-
first and second child units that can each monitor audio at a different location and can each transmit signals representative of the audio monitored by the respective first and second child unit; a parent unit that can receive the signals from the first and second child units; and a plurality of multi-color notification lights operational in series on the parent unit to identify a volume level of the audio monitored via a number of the plurality of multi-color notification lights that are illuminated and to identify one of the first and second child units via illumination of the number of illuminated lights in a first color when emitting the audio monitored by the first child unit and a second color different from the first color when emitting the audio monitored by the second child unit; wherein the parent unit can emit a notification representing the audio monitored by each of the first and second child units, can sequentially listen for the first child unit for a first duration and the second child unit for a second duration during a listening cycle, and can continuously repeat the listening cycle, wherein the first duration and the second duration can each be adjusted independent of the other by a user to a selected different duration.
