Baby bottle device
A baby bottle device ( 100 ) is provided which comprises at least one 100 movement sensor ( 140, 150 ) for detecting a movement of the baby bottle device ( 100 ). The movement data from the movement sensor ( 140, 150 ) is analyzed in an analyzer ( 200 ) to perform a suck-swallow-breathe analysis during a drinking phase of the baby based on the movement data from the movement sensor ( 140, 150 ). Thus, a drinking behavior of a baby can be efficiently analyzed.
1. A baby bottle device, comprising:
a fluid container;
a baby bottle sleeve coupled to the fluid container and comprising at least one movement sensor being configured to detect a movement of the baby bottle device and output movement data;
a movement analyzer configured to analyze a suck-swallow-breathe behavior of a baby based on the movement data from the at least one movement sensor of the baby bottle sleeve, and
a communication transmitter configured to electronically transmit the movement data from the at least one movement sensor or the analyzed suck-swallow-breathe behavior from the movement analyzer.
2. The baby bottle device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the baby bottle sleeve is removably attachable to the fluid container.
3. The baby bottle device according to claim 1 , wherein
the movement analyzer is configured to determine drinking parameters which include at least one of a burst duration, a pause duration, a burst-pause duration ratio, a number of sucks per burst, a sucking frequency, a sucking magnitude and drinking interruptions.
4. The baby bottle device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a post processor configured to perform a post processing of the movement data.
5. The baby bottle device according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a teat,
wherein the post processor is configured to analyze current drinking parameters to monitor a performance of the teat.
6. The baby bottle device according to claim 1 , wherein
the movement analyzer is configured to determine drinking periods and non-drinking periods based on the movement data from the at least one movement sensor.
7. A method of analyzing a drinking behavior of a baby using a baby bottle device, which comprises a baby bottle sleeve comprising at least one movement sensor and coupled to the baby bottle device, comprising:
analyzing a suck-swallow-breathe behavior based on detected movement data from the at least one movement sensor of the baby bottle sleeve, and
electronically transmitting, via a communication transmitter, the movement data from the at least one movement sensor or the analyzed suck-swallow-breathe behavior.
8. The method of analyzing a drinking behavior of a baby according to claim 7 , further comprising:
detecting a movement of the baby bottle device by the at least one movement sensor.
9. The method of analyzing a drinking behavior of a baby according to claim 7 , comprising:
determining a burst duration, a pause duration, a burst-pause duration ratio, a number of sucks per burst, a sucking frequency, a sucking magnitude and/or drinking interruptions.
10. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a computer program for operating a baby bottle device, the computer program comprising program code for causing a baby bottle device to carry out the method of analyzing a drinking behavior of a baby as defined in claim 7 , when the computer program is run on a computer controlling the baby bottle device.
11. A baby bottle movement analyzer, comprising:
a movement analyzer configured to analyze a suck-swallow-breathe behavior of a baby based on movement data from a movement sensor of a baby bottle sleeve coupled to a baby bottle, wherein the movement data from the movement sensor of the baby bottle sleeve is electronically transmitted by a communication transmitter, or the analyzed suck-swallow-breathe behavior from the movement analyzer is electronically transmitted by the communication transmitter.
12. The baby bottle movement analyzer according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a housing which is configured to be attached to the baby bottle,
wherein the movement analyzer is arranged in the housing.
13. The baby bottle movement analyzer according to claim 12 , wherein the movement sensor is arranged in the housing.
14. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a computer program for operating a baby bottle movement analyzer, the computer program comprising program code for causing a baby bottle movement analyzer as defined in claim 11 to analyze a drinking behavior of a baby by analyzing a suck-swallow-breathe behavior of a baby based on movement data from the movement sensor coupled to the baby bottle when the computer program is run on a computer controlling the baby bottle movement analyzer.
