Method for protection of children, seniors and pets from vehicular heatstroke in hot vehicles

摘要

A system functions as a safeguard against vehicular heat-related deaths (heatstroke-hyperthermia) or injuries, as well as providing for theft security in vehicles. This system will incorporate a combination of hardware and software components locally within the vehicle and externally ‘Cloud’ based. At the vehicular level, the hardware involves sensors to detect various pertinent data which in turn is fed into an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Here the data is collected, processed and stored locally. The software includes algorithms that interact from the ECU to the Cloud server and subsequently to various Internet of Things devices. If certain set thresholds are met upon data analysis at the ECU, this triggers an ‘event’ and packets of data is streamed via a network to ‘SPOT’, the Cloud based component for subsequent lifesaving notifications, or if no network connectivity available then evasive preventative measures are executed by the system ECU locally.
