Abstract
A habit-forming device to sense the presence of a child-height individual in an environment is disclosed, including a housing mounted via a mounting system to a surface. At least one sensor is provided to determine the presence of a child-height individual in the environment. A speaker emits an audible cue to the child-height individual, the audible cue to provide a reminder to perform a habit. Once the device confirms the presence of the child-height individual, the audible cue is emitted to aid in the training of the habit.
Claims14
A habit-forming device to sense the presence of a child-height individual in an environment, the device comprising:
- a housing mounted via a mounting system to a surface;
- at least one sensor to determine the presence of a child-height individual in an environment;
- a speaker to emit an audible cue to the child-height individual, the audible cue to provide a reminder to perform a habit;
- further comprising a primary proximity sensor configured to detect the presence of an individual;
- and
- further comprising a secondary proximity sensor configured to determine the height of the individual and to determine if the individual is the child height individual.
A system for facilitating the formation of positive habits via a proximity sensing device, the system comprising:
- a habit-forming device including housing mounted via a mounting system to a surface;
- at least one sensor to determine the presence of a child-height individual in an environment;
- and
- a speaker to emit an audible cue to the child-height individual, the audible cue to provide a reminder to perform a habit;
- a computer system including an application program in communication with a user computing device, the application program in communication, via a network, to the habit-forming device to execute, via a process in communication with the application program, computer-readable instructions to establish operational protocols to aid in the formation of habits;
- further comprising a primary proximity sensor configured to detect the presence of an individual;
- and
- further comprising a secondary proximity sensor configured to determine the height of the individual and to determine if the individual is the child height individual.
