Abstract

Claims (41)

1 . A doormat device comprising:

a body comprising a top surface and a recessed textured sponge rubber bottom surface;

a pressure sensor embedded within the top surface of the body;

a proximity sensor;

a transmitter in electrical communication with the pressure sensor and configured to wirelessly send an alert to at least two secondary devices once a threshold weight of at least 30 pounds is detected by the pressure sensor;

the transmitter in electrical communication with the proximity sensor and configured to wirelessly send the alert to the at least two secondary devices once movement is detected within a threshold distance of the proximity sensor;

wherein at least one of the at least two secondary devices is selected from a remote group relative to the doormat device consisting of a mobile phone and a tablet;

wherein at least another of the at least two secondary devices is selected from a proximal group relative to the doormat device consisting of a smart doorbell and a two-way speaker;

wherein the alert is transmitted to the at least two secondary devices when the threshold weight is detected by the pressure sensor or when movement is detected within the threshold distance by the proximity sensor to alert a user of the presence of another individual;

wherein the transmitter is in electrical communication with a respective receiver of the at least two secondary devices;

wherein the alert is initiated when the movement of the individual approaches the doormat device or when the individual steps on the doormat device;

a battery in electrical communication with the pressure sensor and the transmitter; and

wherein the proximity sensor has a field of view between 0 and 180 degrees.

2 . The doormat device of claim 1 , wherein the body is comprised of a nylon, a polypropylene, a coir, a cotton, a microfiber, a natural rubber, or a natural grass.

3 . A doormat device comprising:

a body comprising a top surface and a cork bottom surface;

a pressure sensor embedded within the body;

a laser proximity sensor embedded within a side surface of the body;

a transmitter in wireless electrical communication with the pressure sensor and configured to wirelessly send an alert to at least two secondary devices once a threshold weight is detected by the pressure sensor;

the transmitter in wireless electrical communication with the laser proximity sensor and configured to wirelessly send the alert to the at least two secondary devices once movement is detected within a threshold distance of the laser proximity sensor;

wherein at least one of the at least two secondary devices is selected from a remote group relative to the doormat device consisting of a mobile phone and a tablet;

wherein at least another of the at least two secondary devices is selected from a proximal group relative to the doormat device consisting of a smart doorbell and a two-way speaker;

wherein the alert is transmitted to the at least two secondary devices when the threshold weight is detected by the pressure sensor or when movement is detected within the threshold distance by the laser proximity sensor to alert a user of the presence of another individual;

wherein the transmitter is in electrical communication with a respective receiver of the at least two secondary devices;

wherein the alert is initiated when the movement of the individual approaches the doormat device or when the individual steps on the doormat device;

a battery in electrical communication with the laser proximity sensor and the transmitter;

wherein the body is logo shaped body; and

wherein the laser proximity sensor has a field of view between 0 and 180 degrees.

4 . A doormat device comprising:

a body comprising a top surface and a ridged rubber bottom surface;

a pressure sensor embedded within the top surface of the body;

a laser proximity sensor embedded within a side surface of the body;

a transmitter in electrical communication with the pressure sensor and the laser proximity sensor and configured to send an alert to at least two secondary devices once a threshold weight of at least 30 pounds is detected by the pressure sensor or once a movement is detected within 15 feet of the doormat device by the laser proximity sensor;

wherein at least one of the at least two secondary devices is selected from a remote group relative to the doormat device consisting of a mobile phone and a tablet;

wherein at least another of the at least two secondary devices is selected from a proximal group relative to the doormat device consisting of a smart doorbell and a two-way speaker;

wherein the alert is transmitted to the at least two secondary devices when the threshold weight is detected by the pressure sensor or when movement is detected within 15 feet of the doormat device by the laser proximity sensor to alert a user of the presence of another individual;

wherein the transmitter is in electrical communication with a respective receiver of the at least two secondary devices;

a battery comprised of a charging port positioned within the body and in electrical communication with the pressure sensor, the laser proximity sensor, and the transmitter; and

wherein the body is an icon shaped body; and

wherein the laser proximity sensor has a field of view between 0 and 180 degrees.

5 . The doormat device of claim 4 , wherein the charging port is comprised of a USB port.
