Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Baby monitors are well known. Such monitors typically have ei ther or both video cameras and audiomicrophones that are placed in close proxim ity to the child which transmit a signal to a remote monitor(video and/or audio speaker) to provide the caregiver with a visual and/or audio signal. From the s ignal,the caregiver can determine if the child is uncomfortable or in distress. Unfortunately, the caregiver isadvised of discomfort or distress by the audio emanating from the child. Typical monitors fail to provideany indication, e.g., if the child stops breathing, which occurs with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), or if the child is in a precarious position.
