Alerting device for high temperature inside a car
We all have heard the reports of a parent somehow forgetting a child was in a carseat, and left them there. We all say...how could this happen, but it does, even by the most careful parents. This device detects a child in the carseat, and monitors the temperature and sets an alarm on set tempertur
Q1: What is the perceived ROI for someone. No parent thinks they will ever do this, but it happens every summer...every winter. A child overheats or freezes. Would parents purchase this if it was not an integrated device?
Idea Description
Integrated, or as an aftermarket device, a sensor detects the child in the seat. A microcontroller monitors for a high/low temperature in the car, and will activate the horn when it determines that both conditions are true. The sensor unit is battery operated, and runs very low power. Two models would be available - wireless or wired. The wireless would transmit the alarm condition to a reciever that is connected to the horn and will honk it at intervals to alert nearby individuals, and maybe even the parents. A high end model would incorporate a cellular modem that would text a message to alert the parents. A single transmitter could be connected to several car seats as well.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Prototype the device. All components are available, its the packaging and developing of the firmware. Marketing efforts...getting it on a morning news show or a major television talk show would promote it overnight. Convince car seat manufacturers to integrate this into the products.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
