Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a baby monitor, in particular to a visual remote baby monitor with high privacy performance. Background Art

[0002] A baby monitor is a smart monitoring device designed specifically for infants and young children. Although existing baby monitors on the market can help parents monitor their babies' condition to a certain extent, they often have many shortcomings.

[0003] First, babies make a variety of sounds, such as crying, laughing, cooing, humming, and screaming, each of which can reflect a range of emotions. However, when it comes to sound recognition, monitors typically rely on the camera's built-in microphone, which is often inaccurate, making it difficult for parents to fully understand their baby's needs and emotional state. Furthermore, these monitors can experience delays or distortion in sound transmission, hindering parents' ability to accurately assess their baby's condition. Second, regarding privacy protection, existing monitors often neglect infant privacy considerations. When parents are not present, infants may be exposed to the monitoring system, lacking necessary privacy protection measures. Third, monitors are relatively simple in functionality, typically providing only video monitoring, which is transmitted to a remote host computer such as a mobile phone or monitoring computer via a wireless transmission unit. They lack specialized sound or air quality monitoring capabilities. Furthermore, monitors often only provide a static monitoring environment, unable to dynamically adjust to the baby's needs, and lack the ability to provide a cradle for sleep assistance.

[0004] Switchable glass is a type of glass that can switch between transparent and opaque states through various control methods, including electrical, temperature, light, and voltage control. Due to various limitations, nearly all mass-produced switchable glass on the market is electrically controlled. The principle is that when the electronically controlled device is turned off, the liquid crystal molecules within the glass become irregularly dispersed, preventing light from entering and giving the glass an opaque appearance.

[0043] Babies can make a variety of sounds, including crying, laughing, cooing, humming, and screaming. Studies have shown that different sounds can convey different meanings.

[0044] What does crying mean? Crying is the most common sound babies make. It can mean they're hungry, have a wet diaper, are sleepy, or need attention. It's also a way babies express pain, discomfort, or fear. Characteristics: Crying can be short and rhythmic, like when they're hungry, or long and sharp, like when they're in pain. Crying can also vary in intensity and emotional tone, such as when they're upset or angry.

[0045] What does laughter mean? Laughter often indicates happiness, contentment, or comfort in infants. It's a positive response to interactions with adults. Characteristics: Infant laughter can be gurgling, crisp, and sometimes even demonic. The frequency and duration of laughter are generally proportional to the infant's level of excitement.

[0046] What does a cooing sound mean? A cooing sound during feeding may indicate that the baby is enjoying the food and is a positive feeding signal. Characteristics: This sound is usually soft and continuous, which helps the mother determine whether the baby is sucking effectively.

[0047] What does humming mean? It may indicate comfort and contentment, or self-soothing. Characteristics: The sound is usually soft and low, sometimes accompanied by slight body movements.

[0048] What a scream means: A high-pitched scream usually indicates that a baby is very excited or experiencing some strong emotion, such as discomfort or pain. Characteristics: Screams often occur suddenly and loudly, and may sometimes be accompanied by twisting of the body or kicking of the legs.

[0049] The present invention can achieve more accurate sound and behavior acquisition through the sound collection unit and the camera unit. The collected video and sound information can be displayed through the touch screen control panel 14 or sent to the host computer. When the dimming glass 13 is in an opaque state, the guardian can also check the baby's status through the touch screen control panel 14 or the host computer. In addition, because more accurate data is collected through the dedicated sound collection unit and camera unit, it not only facilitates the guardian to more accurately understand the baby's status and emotions, but can also be used in the intelligent AI recognition model to accurately identify the baby's emotions.

[0050] The privacy protection principle of the present invention is as follows: a controller is connected to the switch of the dimming glass 13. When privacy protection is required, a command is input through the touch screen control panel 14 or a command is sent through the host computer to turn on the switch of the dimming glass 13 and switch it to an opaque state. When privacy protection is no longer required, the switch of the dimming glass 13 is turned off through the touch screen control panel 14 or the host computer. This control method is existing technology. The present invention only utilizes this function to achieve privacy protection function and does not improve the control method itself.

[0051] The working principle of the present invention when switched to the cradle state is as follows: in the swing assembly, the transmission shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the rotating plate 7 , and the lower portion of the rotating plate 7 is rotationally matched with the monitoring box 10 . Through a preset program, the controller controls the transmission shafts 6 of the two servo motors 5 to rotate synchronously at a certain speed, first rotating several circles clockwise, then several circles counterclockwise, and so on. Since the transmission shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 7, the reciprocating motion of the transmission shaft just drives the rotating plate 7 to swing back and forth along its own perpendicular line. Since the lower part of the rotating plate 7 is in rotational coordination with the monitoring box 10, the monitoring box 10 can be driven to swing with the rotating plate 7 during the swinging. However, due to the rotational coordination between the two, the monitoring box 10 can rotate along the center of the rotating shaft. Since the monitoring box 10 is a hollow chamber with a headrest pad 15 inside, and when the baby is placed in it, the overall center of gravity of the monitoring box 10 is lower. Therefore, if the baby is placed face up in the monitoring box 10, when the monitoring box 10 swings with the rotating plate 7, under the action of gravity, the monitoring box 10 can always keep the baby's face facing up when swinging with the rotating plate 7.

[0052] The method of using the present invention is as follows: first, a baby mat is placed in the monitoring box 10, a headrest is placed on the headrest pad 15, and then the baby is gently placed inside the monitoring box 10. Then, the controller controls the operation of each component, for example, the sound collection unit collects the baby's sound, the camera unit collects the baby's video, and the air quality sampling unit 12 detects the air quality in the monitoring box 10 in real time. When necessary, the dimming glass 13 or the swing component is controlled to work.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
