Patent ID: 7567181

Claim:
A portable child monitor apparatus with seat insert for use in a seat, comprising, in combination: a seat back of the insert; a seat bottom of the insert; an articulation connecting the seat back to the seat bottom; an insert CPU disposed within the seat back; a transmitter coupled with the insert CPU; battery power for the insert CPU; a temperature sensor disposed within the seat back, the temperature sensor in communication with the insert CPU; a calibrated pressure sensor disposed within the seat back, the pressure sensor is responsive to the presence of a child on the seat insert and in communication with the insert CPU; a remotely locatable magnetic vibration sensor proximate the vehicle engine in communication with the insert CPU for indicating running state of the vehicle engine; a display screen disposed within the seat back, the display screen in communication with the insert CPU; a keychain, the keychain in airwave communication with the insert CPU, the keychain comprising: a keychain CPU; an arming button for arming the insert and the keychain; a indicator light in communication with the keychain CPU, wherein, the light glows in response to the condition of pressure sensed by the pressure sensor; the light flashes with pressure sensed by the pressure sensor, and vibration absence sensed by the vibration sensor for thirty seconds; a proximity sensor for sensing the proximity of the seat insert in relation to the key chain and in communication with the keychain CPU; an audible alarm in communication with the keychain CPU, the alarm sounded with a predetermined temperature sensed by the temperature sensor of the insert, indicative of an unsafe condition for the child.
