Abstract

A smart car system maintains a Bluetooth paired heartbeat between a modified car seat and a smart phone. The system automatically alerts a responsible person when children are unsafely left inside of vehicles, as detected by a loss of the Bluetooth paired heartbeat.

Claims (4)

1 . A Bluetooth low energy car set alert system to detect when children are inadvertently left in:

a car seat sensor affixed to a car seat that secures children in an adult vehicle to detect when a child is in the car seat and when a child is not in the car seat;

a Bluetooth low energy radio affixed to the car seat and paired to a second Bluetooth enabled device to maintain a heartbeat between the radio and device over a Bluetooth channel; and

an alert system to detect when the heartbeat has been disrupted in combination with a child being in the car seat and, in response, to send an alert notification to at least the device.
