AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional child monitoring devices require a physical connection, such as a USB cable, to exit airplane mode, causing inconvenience and wasting battery power due to unnecessary function monitoring.

Method used

A child monitoring terminal equipped with multiple recovery logics that can exit airplane mode via selection from an external terminal, transitioning to a selective low-power monitoring state where unnecessary hardware is deactivated, and activating only the required recovery logic when specific conditions are met.

Benefits of technology

Users can exit airplane mode without physical connection, reducing inconvenience and conserving battery power by selectively activating only necessary hardware components.

Abstract

The monitoring function can be resumed using the recovery method selected by the parent / guardian. [Solution] The child monitoring terminal 10 stores multiple recovery logics that deactivate airplane mode depending on different recovery conditions (short-range wireless signal, environmental sensor measurement value, timing result). Based on a selection instruction from the parent's external terminal 20, at least one of the multiple recovery logics is selected and activated. While in airplane mode, the power saving monitoring control unit 164 monitors only the recovery conditions corresponding to the activated recovery logic and transitions to a selective low-power monitoring state in which hardware components (short-range wireless communication unit 15, environmental sensor 16, etc.) corresponding to the unselected recovery logic are deactivated or put into a low-power state. When a recovery condition being monitored is detected, airplane mode is deactivated. This allows monitoring to be performed only using the recovery method selected by the parent, reducing power consumption of unnecessary functions.
