Abstract
A night light includes a housing, a light source provided in the housing, a speaker provided in the housing, a battery provided in the housing to power the night light, a controller configured to control operation of the night light, a stand adapted to receive the housing to charge the battery, and a sensor configured to detect whether the housing is positioned on the stand or not. The controller is configured to reduce sound volume output from the speaker, or disable a wireless communication port associated with the housing when the housing is not detected to be on the stand.
Claims19
A night light comprising:
- a housing;
- a light source provided in the housing;
- a speaker provided in the housing, and configured to produce a sound output;
- a controller configured to control operations of the night light;
- a battery provided in the housing and configured to power the night light;
- a wireless communication port provided in the housing;
- a stand adapted to receive the housing and charge the battery;
- and
- a sensor provided in the housing and configured to detect when the housing is positioned on the stand or not,
- wherein the controller is configured to reduce the volume of the sound output of the speaker when the housing is determined to be removed from the stand.
