- the baby monitor is capable of muting a 5 television or other electronic device. 1
- Baby monitors are well known.
- a standard baby monitor consists of a transmitter and a receiver, each of which can be powered by a battery or an A/C current source (usually with
- the transmitter contains a microphone or other sound detecting device and is placed in a location near a baby.
- the receiver contains a speaker and placed in a location near a parent. A sound (e.g. a stirring or crying baby) detected by the transmitter is transmitted to the receiver for output to the parent to hear and respond to accordingly.
- LEDs 15 emitting diodes
- This acts as a visual alert for the parent in that as the sound level increases the number of LEDs that light also increases.
- the color of the subsequently lit or higher sound-level LEDs is a different color from the lower sound-level LEDs (usually red and green, respectively). This visual alert is useful in an environment where there are other
- JO noises that may cause the receiver output to go unheard by the parent.
- These other noises can be sound from a television, radio, stereo, or other electronic device, that outputs the sound from a speaker.
- These external noises can also be from noise-making electric appliances, for example, an electric mixer, a blender, a washing machine, or the like.
- the sounds of the baby can go unheard by the parent.
- a problem with the LED model in particular arises when external noises are present and the receiver is out of the line-of-sight of the parent.
- the visual alert goes unseen.
- the baby could be crying and the parent would be unaware of this potentially dangerous situation.
- the present invention solves this long-standing problem and provides a baby monitor that can insure that the parent hears the sounds under a variety of external noise conditions.
- a system that can remotely control an electric or electronic device when the output sound level of the receiver reaches a reference level.
- the control can be by infrared, radio frequency or hardwire transmission of a volume control command to the electric or electronic device.
- the invention comprises a monitor system, comprising a sound detector, a transmitter coupled to the sound detector for transmitting a signal upon said detector detecting a sound, and a control device that receives the signal and supplies a control signal to at least one device remote from the control device.
- a network can be interposed between the transmitter and the control device, wherein the network can be the Internet.
- the invention also comprises a method of monitoring a location, comprising the steps of detecting a sound, transmitting a signal upon detecting said sound, and controlling at least one device via said transmitted signal.
- the invention also comprises a method of enabling a user to monitor a location. By detecting a sound, transmitting to said user a signal upon detecting said sound, and controlling at least one device via said transmitted signal, the user can monitor a location.
- the invention further comprises software for a home network for processing an audio signal received from a sound detector, and controlling at least one device remote from the home network.

- the control circuitry 403 contains the memory unit 408 to store one or more commands depending on the particular
- the memory unit 408 can be preprogrammed to control a particular electronic device, an embodiment which would not require the slide switch 201 as no learn mode would be required by the user.
- the memory unit 408 can also be user- programmable to allow for the storage of one or more commands and to control one or more devices.
- the CPU 407 activates learning circuitry 410 to receive a command input through an IR detector 406.
- the command to be stored or learned is input by pointing an IR emitter of a remote control of a remote device (not shown) at the IR detector 406 and pressing a button on the remote control corresponding to the command the user
- the CPU 407 accepts the command signal from the learning circuitry 410 and stores the command in the memory unit 408.
- Various additional programming methods are well known in the art and are not included herein.
- Fig. 5 is an operational flow chart of the baby monitor receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the CPU 407 in step 501 checks to determine if the receiver is in normal operating mode. If the receiver 100 is in normal operating mode, the system in step 502 waits for a signal to be received from the transmitter 300. If no signal is received, the system returns to the start to wait for a received signal. If a signal is received, the system in step 503 outputs the sound through the speaker 404 and the CPU 407 compares the level of the received signal with the reference level stored in memory unit 408. Then in step 504 the CPU 407 determines if the level of the received signal is greater than the reference level.
- step 501 If the level of the received signal is not greater than the reference level, the system returns to step 501. If the level of the received signal is greater than the reference level, the control circuitry 403 in step 505 transmits the stored IR mute command through the command circuitry 409 and IR emitter 405 and returns to step 501.
- step 501 the CPU 407 determines that the receiver is not in the normal operating mode, the CPU 407 enters in step 506 into the learn mode to store the user-entered commands.
- step 507 the CPU 407 activates the IR detector 406.
- step 508 checks if an IR signal command is received and if so, the system in step 509 stores the IR signal command in the memory unit 408 and returns to step 501. If no signal command is received in step 508, the system returns to step 501.
- the above system can be used to monitor people and things other than a baby.
- the invention can be utilized to monitor a person who is sick or infirm.
- the system can be readily modified to monitor an animal or any object where an alert to the user is desired when a sound is produced.
- the transmitter can perform the comparison and transmit the control signal itself, directly to the controlled device or to a receiver for further transmission.
- the signal (the sound signal and/or the central signal) can be transmitted via a computer network (including a home computer network), the Internet, etc., which may be interposed at any point between the receiver and the controlled device.
- Software can be used in a network, for example, to perform the audio and/or signal processing of the transmitter and/or receiver and direct them accordingly.
- the invention is not limited to reducing or muting its volume.
- the system can detect the noise level in the environment and amplify a audio signal accordingly, for example the ringing of a telephone, such that the user can hear the audio signal regardless of the noise level in the environment.
