Abstract:
A safety alert system for use in a motor vehicle cabin. A temperature sensor and a carbon dioxide sensor operate in conjunction to detect the presence of a person within the sealed vehicle cabin in unsafe circumstances. Based upon preset parameters, a local alarm or notification or operator notification can be triggered in the vicinity of the vehicle if an alert condition exists, or in some embodiments remote alert notifications can be triggered to vehicle owners or safety authorities. An auxiliary carbon dioxide sensor could be located within the trunk of the vehicle in addition to within the vehicle cabin. A video capture subsystem could also be included, to capture video of the cabin of the vehicle on detection of the alert condition, and the video could be archived or transmitted to safety personnel. The method of detection of a human in an unsafe vehicle environment is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of detection of an alarm condition in the environment of the vehicle cabin of a motor vehicle, said alarm condition being the unsafe presence of at least one living being in the vehicle cabin, said method comprising:\n a. providing a safety alert system within the motor vehicle comprising:\n i. a controller for mounting onboard the vehicle, said controller having a processor with safety detection software executable thereon; \n ii. a carbon dioxide sensor for location within the vehicle cabin and operatively connected to the controller to provide carbon dioxide readings from within the vehicle cabin to the processor; \n iii. a temperature sensor for location within the vehicle cabin and operatively connected to the controller to provide temperature readings from within the vehicle cabin to the processor; and \n iv. a local alarm or notification device operatively connected to the controller and attached onboard the vehicle to provide local notification in the vicinity of the vehicle when actuated; \n b. using the safety alert system:\n i. periodically capturing temperature and carbon dioxide readings within the cabin of the vehicle from the temperature sensor and the carbon dioxide sensor to the controller; \n ii. using the controller and safety detection software, determining the existence of an alarm condition based on the captured temperature and carbon dioxide readings; \n iii. where an alarm condition is detected by the controller, actuating the local alarm or notification device to provide a local alarm or notification notification in the vicinity of the vehicle.
