Abstract
A method for enhancing a well-being of a small child or baby utilizes at least one TV camera positioned to observe one or more points on the child or an object associated with the child. Signals from the TV camera are outputted to a computer, which analyzes the output signals to determine a position or movement of the child or child associated object. The determined position or movement is then compared to pre-programmed criteria in the computer to determine a correlation or importance, and thereby to provide data to the child.

A method for enhancing a well-being of a small child or baby, comprising the steps of:
- positioning at least one TV camera to observe one or more points on the child or an object associated with the child;
- outputting signals from the TV camera to a computer;
- analyzing the output signals of the TV camera with the computer to determine a position or movement of the child or child associated object;
- comparing the determined position or movement to pre-programmed criteria in the computer to determine a correlation;
- and
- providing data to the child based on the determined correlation.
A method for enhancing a well-being of a small child or baby, comprising the steps of:
- positioning at least one TV camera to observe one or more points on the child or an object associated with the child;
- outputting signals from the TV camera to a computer system;
- analyzing the output signals of the TV camera with the computer system to determine position or movement data of the child or child associated object;
- recording the position or movement data for analysis;
- and
- using the recorded data, enhancing a well-being of the child.
