MONITORING AND SIGNALING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD TO PREVENT THE ABANDONMENT OF INFANTS AND/OR PETS IN VEHICLES

摘要

Monitoring and signaling system (20) that comprises: at least one safety device for a vehicle (5, 10) which can be coupled to a seat (2) for infants or to an item for the boot for pets or to a pet collar, configured to generate an output signal indicative of the presence of an infant or a pet on the seat or in the boot or of the fact that the pet wears the collar; a first signaling device (11), coupled to the safety device for a vehicle (5, 10) and configured to emit first signals (S₁) in sequence when the output signal indicates the presence of the infant or of the pet in the vehicle; and a second signaling device (28), couplable to a vehicle (3) and configured to emit second signals (S₂) in sequence when coupled to the vehicle. The system further comprises a mobile device (7), configured to: receive pairs of signals each formed by a first and a second signal; determine, for each pair, a first (d₀') and a second distance (d₀"); compare the values of the first and the second distance with a first and a second reference distance (R_th1, R_th2), respectively; detect, for each received pair of signals, whether the system (20) alternately operates in a proximity condition, a distance condition, a first intermediate condition or a second intermediate condition; generate, in the event of the detection means detecting the distance condition, different monitoring signals (S_m1), depending on the fact that the distance condition has been detected after the detection of the first or the second intermediate condition.
