Method and apparatus for using water to disable an alarm clock

摘要

An alarm clock device is provided that includes a deactivation apparatus for attaching to a fluid container that includes a housing, a clip formed on an exterior surface of the housing, the clip shaped to fit over an edge of the fluid container such that the housing rests adjacent to a surface of the fluid container, and a orientation sensing component disposed within the housing, the orientation sensing component configured to detect an angular orientation and movement of the deactivation apparatus. The alarm device includes an alarm apparatus for emitting an alert at a desired time, the alarm apparatus in communication with the deactivation apparatus. An alert emitted by the alarm apparatus is silenced when the orientation sensing component of the deactivation apparatus detects a change in an angular orientation of the deactivation apparatus corresponding to a user lifting and drinking from the fluid container.
