Safety system for alerting an operator of a parked vehicle that an occupant is still present in the parked vehicle

摘要

A safety system using a network connected to a vehicle to alert a client device of an operator, a first responder, a dedicated emergency dispatch service, a bystander or combinations thereof to the presence of an occupant in a vehicle passenger compartment of a vehicle indicating the occupant's temperature has exceeded or dropped below a life threatening threshold. The system uses a plurality of pressure sensors in vehicle seats, a first plurality of optical infrared frequency sensors located in the passenger compartment for measuring air temperature values of the passenger compartment, a plurality of second optical infrared frequency sensors measuring occupant temperature values in the passenger compartment and, in embodiments, at least one front seat motion sensor and at least one back seat motion sensor.

1. A safety system for alerting of a presence of an occupant in a passenger compartment of a vehicle subjected to a variable temperature to a client device of an operator using a network, the safety system comprising:
a. a plurality of pressure sensors, each pressure sensor located in a vehicle seat; b. a plurality of first optical infrared frequency sensors located in the passenger compartment, wherein each first optical infrared frequency sensor measures air temperature values of the passenger compartment; c. a plurality of second optical infrared frequency sensors located in the passenger compartment, wherein each second optical infrared frequency sensor measures occupant temperature values in the passenger compartment; and d. a control module connected to the plurality of pressure sensors, the plurality of first optical infrared frequency sensors, and the plurality of second optical infrared frequency sensor, wherein the control module comprises a processor and a data storage in the control module and in communication with the processor, wherein the data storage comprises:
(i) computer instructions to instruct the processor to continuously compare the pressure data from the pressure sensor to stored preset pressure limits to determine if the received pressure data rises above the preset pressure limits, identifying that an object is on the vehicle seat;(ii) computer instructions to instruct the processor to receive and store continuously the air temperature values from the plurality of first optical infrared frequency sensors and to receive and store continuously the occupant temperature values from the plurality of second optical infrared frequency sensors;(iii) computer instructions to instruct the processor to generate a thermograph based on the air temperature values and the occupant temperature values;(iv) computer instructions to instruct the processor to compare continuously the thermograph against the preset occupant temperature limits, and identify if the occupant is in danger of extreme temperature exposure; and(v) computer instructions to instruct the processor to generate automatically at least one alarm when the thermograph is outside the preset occupant temperature limits, wherein the alarm is at least one of:
1. an audible alarm;2. a flashing light;3. movement of a vehicle window;4. unlocking of a vehicle door;5. an electronic signal transmitted to a third party emergency dispatcher; and6. an electronic signal transmitted to the client device of the operator.
