Alert device for drivers with infants
First Claim
1. A precautionary alert device for notifying an occupant in a vehicle that an infant is on board, said alert device comprising:
- (a) a plug having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is adapted for insertion into a 12-volt electrical receptacle of the vehicle and a cover is disposed on the second end;
(b) a microprocessor operatively connected to both a power supply from the vehicle via the plug and to a backup power supply;
wherein when the vehicle is turned on the microprocessor is powered via the power supply from the vehicle;
(c) an audio controller operatively connected to the microprocessor and to a speaker disposed on the cover;
(d) a light component disposed on the cover and operatively connected to the microprocessor;
wherein when the vehicle is turned off an interrupt is triggered on the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor is configured toreceive a first input signal from the interruptgenerate a first output command operatively connected to the light component such that in response to the interrupt the light component is activated;
generate a second output command operatively connected to the audio controller such that in response to the interrupt the audio controller reproduces a pre-recorded message over the speaker.

Abstract
An alert device comprising a plug adapted for insertion into a 12-volt electrical receptacle of a vehicle; a cover disposed on a second end of the plug; a microprocessor operatively connected to a vehicle power supply and to a backup power supply, when the vehicle is turned on the microprocessor is powered via the vehicle power supply; an audio controller connected to the microprocessor and to a speaker; a light component connected to the microprocessor; wherein when the vehicle is turned off an interrupt is triggered on the microprocessor and the microprocessor generates a first output command to the light component to activate the light component and generates a second output command to the audio controller to reproduce a pre-recorded message over the speaker.
