Abstract: A smart power hub for a sleep aid device includes a data communication system for transmitting and receiving data between the sleep aid device and a user communication device and/or network. The data communication system may include a network module for providing wireless data communication access to the user communication device and/or network with respect to the sleep aid device. The smart power hub may be in data communication with the sleep aid device via a wired connection. The wired connection may include a cable having length greater than two meters. The smart power hub may also include a power system for transmitting power to the sleep aid device. The cable may also couple the power system to the sleep aid device for delivering a supply of power to the sleep aid device.
Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid device that includes a moving platform and a sound generator, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device makes a determination as to whether sound signals represent sound coming from inside the device or outside the device. If the sound signals are coming from the inside the device, then the signals are evaluated in a specified frequency band to determine whether the sound is a baby cry. If a determination is made that there is a baby cry, then a threshold analysis is performed to quantify the cry and compare it to a threshold value. If the cry is above a specified threshold, the device moves the platform and/or generates sound.
