Abstract
A toy system includes a camera that captures an image of an infant, a processing circuit, and a toy component. The processing circuit is configured to detect a body position of the infant in the image of the infant, and based on a detection that the infant is in a head-raised-prone-body position, generate an activation signal. The toy component is activated to provide a stimulus to the infant, based on the activation signal.
Claims20
A toy system, comprising:
- a camera that captures an image of an infant;
- a processing circuit configured to:
- detect a body position of the infant in the image of the infant, and
- based on a detection that the infant is in a head-raised-prone-body position, generate an activation signal;
- and
- a toy component that is activated to provide a stimulus to the infant, based on the activation signal.
A method for training tummy time, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of an infant using a camera of a toy system;
- detecting, by a detection engine executing on a processing circuit, a body position of the infant in the image of the infant;
- based on a detection that the infant is in a head-raised-prone-body position, generate an activation signal;
- and
- activating a toy component of the toy system to provide a stimulus to the infant, based on the activation signal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) storing computer readable program code for operating a toy system, wherein the computer readable program code causes a computer system of the toy system to:
- capturing an image of an infant using a camera of a toy system;
- detect, in an image of an infant obtained by a camera of the toy system, a body position of the infant in the image of the infant;
- based on a detection that the infant is in a head-raised-prone-body position, generate an activation signal;
- and
- activate a toy component of the toy system to provide a stimulus to the infant, based on the activation signal.
