Protecting children and passengers with respect to a vehicle
First Claim
1. A system operated by at least one user, for protecting at least one child from potential danger associated with a vehicle, the vehicle having equipment elements including:
- a plurality of sensors,a plurality of operable devices, anda plurality of alert systems useful for providing at least one warning signal, the system comprising;
at least one indicator operatively coupled to the equipment elements, and adapted to receive input commands,a report module operatively coupled to the equipment elements and adapted to sample and report a status condition of each one of the equipment elements,a control module having a processor operating in association with a memory adapted for storing commands and computer programs, wherein an input command received by the at least one indicator is selected to be stored in memory as either one of both a command stored for one drive only and a command stored for more than one drive of the vehicle, and wherein the control module is operatively coupled to the at least one indicator, to the report module, and to the equipment elements, and adapted to control, manage, and operate the system, the control module being configured to;
receive input commands from the at least one indicator,receive the status condition from the report module,execute control programs responsive to information received from the at least one indicator and from the report module, andcontrol activation and deactivation of the system.

Abstract
There is provided a system and methods for mitigation of the potential dangers to which at least a child, and passengers, are exposed to prior to, during travel and after travel, when outside and adjacent a vehicle. Potential dangers to which a child is exposed are risks associated with driving and non-driving behavior of the driver, when the child is inside and outside the vehicle, when the vehicle is driven on public roads and on private property grounds, and as a result of deficient of mistaken operation of child and passenger related devices. The system and methods require input commands into an indicator to operate equipment elements aboard the vehicle, including sensors, operable devices and alert systems, and are operative for communication with remote stations, with adjacent-driven vehicles, and with the vehicle owner.

21. A method for implementing a system operated by at least one user, for protecting at least one child from a potential danger associated with a vehicle, the vehicle having equipment elements including:
-
a plurality of sensors, a plurality of operable devices, and a plurality of alert systems useful for providing at least one warning signal, the method comprising the steps of; coupling operatively at least one indicator to the equipment elements, and adapting the at least one indicator to receive input commands, coupling operatively a report module to the equipment elements and adapting the report module to sample and report a status condition of each one of the equipment elements, providing a control module having a processor operating in association with a memory adapted for storing commands and computer programs, wherein an input command received by the at least one indicator is selected to be stored in memory as either one of both a command stored for one drive only and a command stored for more than one drive of the vehicle, and wherein the control module is operatively coupled to the at least one indicator, to the report module, and to the equipment elements, and adapted to control, manage, and operate the system, the control module being configured for; receiving input commands from the at least one indicator, receiving a status condition from the report module, executing control programs responsive to information received from the at least one indicator and from the report module, and controlling activation and deactivation of the system. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
