Abstract
A pedestrian hazard detection system. The pedestrian hazard detection system has a housing that is sized and shaped to receive and secure a mobile device, such as a cellphone, therein. At least one sensor, such as a motion sensor, is disposed within the housing. The sensor can detect obstacles that are approaching and are in the vicinity of the housing. The sensor is operably connected to the mobile device and whereupon the sensor detecting the at least one approaching obstacle, a signal is sent to the operably connected mobile device to emit an alert. The alert can notify a user that the obstacle is approaching such that the user can take appropriate action to avoid a collision.
Claims15
1) A pedestrian hazard detection system, comprising:
- a housing configured to secure a mobile device therein;
- a control circuit disposed within the housing;
- at least one sensor disposed within the housing;
- the at least one sensor configured to detect at least one approaching obstacle in the vicinity of the housing;
- the at least one sensor wirelessly connected to the mobile device;
- a housing haptic system disposed within the housing;
- a speaker system disposed within the housing;
- whereupon the at least one sensor detecting the at least one approaching obstacle causes the control circuit to send a signal to the connected mobile device, the housing haptic system and the speaker system to emit an alert.
8) A pedestrian hazard detection system, comprising:
- a housing configured to secure a mobile device therein;
- a control circuit disposed within the housing;
- a housing haptic system disposed within the housing;
- at least one sensor disposed within the housing;
- the at least one sensor configured to detect at least one approaching obstacle in the vicinity of the housing;
- whereupon the at least one sensor detecting the at least one approaching obstacle causes the control circuit to send a signal to the housing haptic system to emit an alert.
12) A pedestrian hazard detection system, comprising:
- a housing configured to secure a mobile device therein;
- a control circuit disposed within the housing;
- a speaker system disposed within the housing;
- at least one sensor disposed within the housing;
- the at least one sensor configured to detect at least one approaching obstacle in the vicinity of the housing;
- whereupon the at least one sensor detecting the at least one approaching obstacle causes the control circuit to send a signal to the speaker system to emit an alert.
