  • Patent number: 12446836
    Abstract: Described herring are systems and techniques for improving the way multiple sleeping people decide who should wake up in response to crying baby. A system includes a processor coupled to a first sleep tracker, a second sleep tracker, and a sensor. The first sleep tracker tracks the sleep of a first person and sends sleep data to the processor, while the second sleep tracker tracks the sleep of a second person and sends sleep data to the processor. The sensor monitors a subject and sends a signal when a change with the subject is detected. The processor receives a signal from the sensor and compares the sleep data from the first and second sleep trackers. The processor also determines which of the first person or second person to alert based on the comparison and transmits an alert to one of the first person or the second person.
