Embodiment Construction

[0027]figure 1 A schematic block diagram of a breast pump and a smart device according to an aspect of the present invention is shown. The electric breast pump 100 is used by the user to extract breast milk. The breast pump 100 includes a pump 110 for generating a vacuum to express breast milk, and a suction cup or funnel 120 that can be compressed on the user's breast.

[0028]The smart device 200 may be placed near the breast pump 100. The smart device 200 includes at least one vibration detection unit (such as a microphone 210) and an analysis unit 220. Optionally, the smart device 200 may also include a display 230 and a wireless communication unit 240 and a processing unit 250. The processing unit 250 may be adapted to run applications that can be stored on the smart device.

[0029]In order to monitor the operation of the breast pump 100, the smart device 200 may be placed near the breast pump, and at least one microphone 210 may be activated to detect the sound from the breast pump...

Abstract

A method of monitoring an operation of an electric breast pump (100) using an external smart device (200) is provided. The external smart device (200) comprises a vibration detection unit (210) for detecting vibrations emitted from the breast pump (100). The detected vibrations are analyzed to extract information regarding the operation of the electric breast pump (100). The information comprisesat least one of mode of operation and settings of the modes of operation of the breast pump (100). The extracted information can be outputted.

Description

Technical field[0001]The invention relates to a method of operating an electric breast pump, an intelligent device and a breast pump system.Background technique[0002]Breastfeeding women use a breast pump to extract breast milk so that this breast milk can be fed to the baby later. Electric breast pumps usually have different settings or modes of operation. Breast pumps particularly have a stimulation phase and an expression phase (during which the breast milk is expressed). Breast pumps usually have a user interface through which the user can operate or control the breast pump. In particular, new users may not be fully familiar with the operation of the breast pump and the different modes of operation. Therefore, it is possible that the breast milk expressed by the breast pump is less than expected.[0003]US 2016 / 0183602 A1 discloses a method of sound detection to distinguish between data collected during breastfeeding of an infant and data collected during the use of a breast pump.S...
