Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a smart protective mat used in vehicles to remind the user that a living being is still inside the vehicle. The mat is particularly suitable for pets such as dogs, which are frequently transported in the trunk.
[0002] The protective mat has integrated sensors that detect the weight and / or movement of a living being. If a living being is still on the mat, the driver is notified via a paired smartphone app or other warning system when the engine is switched off or the vehicle is exited. Optionally, the notification can also be linked to the vehicle's interior temperature to warn of potential heat-related dangers.
[0003] The invention thus serves the safety and protection of animals that might be accidentally left behind in the vehicle.
