Abstract
The alarm monitoring system provides various alerts of events that are not readily discernable to those with hearing difficulties. The system generates visual, vibratory, and high decibel alerts separately or in combination to alert the user to a wide variety of events for those with multisensory impairments.
Claims12
A system for alerting those with hearing impairments, the system comprising:
- sensors for measuring specific conditions that those with hearing impairments cannot readily discern;
- signaling devices for alerting those with hearing impairments to specific conditions measured by the sensors;
- and
- a controller, comprising;
- a display configured for providing conditional information related to the sensors;
- a first light;
- and
- a telephone system located in the controller, the telephone system having;
- a first telephone port, configured to indicate to the controller that a coupled phone for the hearing impaired is ringing;
- a second telephone port, configured for allowing those without hearing impairments to answer a standard coupled phone wired to the second telephone port;
- and
- a third telephone port, configured for connecting the telephone system to a public phone system;
- wherein the sensors are wirelessly connected to the controller.
10 more elements
An alarm monitoring system for relaying information to a user, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured for detecting conditions not readily detectable by the user, the plurality of sensors comprising;
- a wireless door sensor having;
- a microphone configured for sensing knocking;
- and
- a button located on the wireless door sensor;
- a plurality of indicators configured to display information to the user;
- a controller configured to monitor the plurality of sensors for changes in conditions and alert the user to the changes in conditions by signaling the plurality of indicators;
- and
- a headphone sensor coupled to a headphone jack;
- wherein the headphone sensor is configured for detecting changes outputted by the headphone jack and alerting the controller to the detected changes thereby alerting the user;
- wherein the headphone sensor measures an electrical output of the headphone jack;
- wherein the user has a hearing impairment thereby preventing the user from hearing audible alarms;
- and
- wherein the button on the wireless door sensor alerts the controller when depressed.
