Abstract

The present disclosure provides diaper prediction and correction system and method. This system includes a diaper sensor, a server and a mobile device. The server is configured to store crowdsourcing data including a plurality of sensing criteria corresponding to a plurality of geographic regions, different genders, a plurality of ages, a plurality of diaper data. The mobile device is configured to execute a mobile application to pair with the diaper sensor and to transmit a location information, a wearer's sex and age, and a brand or a model of a diaper to the server, so that the server selects a corresponding sensing criterion from the sensing criteria and returns the corresponding sensing criterion to the mobile device, and the mobile device is based on the corresponding sensing criterion to determine whether a diaper sensing signal from the diaper sensor reflect that the diaper needs to be replaced.

Claims (20)

1. A diaper prediction and correction system, comprising:

a diaper sensor;

a server configured to store crowdsourcing data comprising a plurality of sensing criteria corresponding to a plurality of geographic regions, different genders, a plurality of ages, a plurality of diaper data; and

a mobile device configured to execute a mobile application to pair with the diaper sensor and to transmit a location information, a wearer's sex and age, and a brand or a model of a diaper to the server, so that the server selects a corresponding sensing criterion from the sensing criteria and returns the corresponding sensing criterion to the mobile device, and the mobile device is based on the corresponding sensing criterion to determine whether a diaper sensing signal from the diaper sensor reflect that the diaper needs to be replaced.

2. The diaper prediction and correction system of claim 1 , wherein the sensing criteria in the crowdsourcing data correspond to relations among the geographical regions, the genders, the ages, the diaper data and a plurality of environmental parameters, and before the diaper attached to the diaper sensor is worn, the diaper sensor senses an environmental sensing signal, so that the mobile device sends transmit the location information, the wearer's sex and age, the brand or the model of diaper, and the environmental sensing signal to the server, so as to obtain the corresponding sensing criterion.

3. The diaper prediction and correction system of claim 1 , wherein after the mobile device executes a prompt action of replacement of the diaper, the mobile device receives user feedback information, adjusts the corresponding sensing criterion based on the user feedback information and uploads the user feedback information to the server, so that the server uses the user feedback information as a basis of updating the crowdsourcing data.

4. The diaper prediction and correction system of claim 1 , wherein the diaper sensor comprises:

a wireless transmitter;

a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature value;

a humidity sensor configured to sense a humidity value; and

a controller configured to incorporate the temperature value and the humidity value into the diaper sensing signal so as to transmit the diaper sensing signal to the mobile device through the wireless transmitter, so that the mobile device determines whether the temperature value and the humidity value falls within a predetermined temperature range and a preset humidity range respectively, and the mobile device determines that the diaper which needs to be replaced when the temperature value and the humidity value falls within the predetermined temperature range and the preset humidity range respectively.

5. A diaper prediction and correction method, comprising steps of:

(A) using a server to store crowdsourcing data comprising a plurality of sensing criteria corresponding to a plurality of geographic regions, different genders, a plurality of ages, a plurality of diaper data; and

(B) using a mobile device to execute a mobile application to pair with a diaper sensor and to transmit location information, a wearer's sex and age, and a brand or a model of a diaper to the server, so that the server selects a corresponding sensing criterion from the sensing criteria and returns the corresponding sensing criterion to the mobile device, and the mobile device is based on the corresponding sensing criterion to determine whether a diaper sensing signal from the diaper sensor reflect that the diaper needs to be replaced.

6. The diaper prediction and correction method of claim 5 , wherein the sensing criteria in the crowdsourcing data correspond to relations among the geographical regions, the genders, the ages, the diaper data and a plurality of environmental parameters, and the step (B) further comprising:

before the diaper attached to the diaper sensor is worn, using the diaper sensor to sense an environmental sensing signal, so that the mobile device sends transmit the location information, the wearer's sex and age, the brand or the model of diaper, and the environmental sensing signal to the server, so as to obtain the corresponding sensing criterion.

7. The diaper prediction and correction method of claim 5 , further comprising:

after the mobile device executes a prompt action of replacement of the diaper, using the mobile device to receive user feedback information, adjust the corresponding sensing criterion based on the user feedback information and upload the user feedback information to the server, so that the server uses the user feedback information as a basis of updating the crowdsourcing data.

8. The diaper prediction and correction method of claim 5 , wherein the step (B) comprises:

using the diaper sensor to incorporate a temperature value and a humidity value of the diaper into the diaper sensing signal so as to transmit the diaper sensing signal to the mobile device, so that the mobile device determines whether the temperature value and the humidity value falls within a predetermined temperature range and a preset humidity range respectively, and the mobile device determines that the diaper which needs to be replaced when the temperature value and the humidity value falls within the predetermined temperature range and the preset humidity range respectively.
