Product Description
PADDY is a universal smart pad for any brand and model of car baby seat,
conceived to monitor the presence of a child in the car seat.
PADDY is a device that alerts via APP if the child has been abandoned in the
vehicle. The APP warns by means of an acoustic signal, by flashing the LED of
the photo camera and by vibrating the phone. This alarm remains active until
the child is removed from the seat. If this alarm is not deactivated within 30
seconds, the system sends a message indicating the GPS geographical
coordinates of the place where the alarm was generated to other two predefined
telephone numbers, such as: parents, grandparents or friends.

The battery charge indicator changes color when the charge drops, turning red when the battery level is very low.

Adding other users
Once the Smart Pad is connected to the APP, a secondary user can be added.
Such user will have to press on CONNECT on his phone as shown below. In the
secondary user APP, press on the “SHOW MY QR CODE” bar to display the unique
QR code of the device.
On the primary user’s phone, press on the “SCAN USER’S QR CODE” bar: at this point the secondary user APP is associated with the main user APP allowing the associated user to receive an alarm notification with the GPS coordinates in case the child has been left unattended in the car. Repeat the same procedure in order to associate the third user.
Using the product
The main screen shows the status of the smart pad. If the child is not on the
pad, the child’s image is black and white. When the child is on the pad, the
image of the child is colored.
The PADDY smart pad connects to the APP and monitors the presence of the child. When the child is picked up from the car seat, the smart pad turns off, while turning on again when the child is placed back in the car seat. If the smart pad does not connect with the APP, it will beep 3 times every 10 seconds for 2 minutes, and then every 60 seconds.In case the driver walks away from the vehicle and the child has been left in the car child seat, after a distance of approximately 10-15 meters, the driver will receive a message on his phone, such as: “ATTENTION! (BABY’S NAME) HAS BEEN ABANDONED”. At the same time the phone will send a sound (beep) and visual (flashing light) alarm with vibration. If the alarm is not turned off by the driver within 30 seconds, the APP will send a new message to all associated users, such as: “(NAME OF THE CHILD) HAS BEEN ABANDONED AT GPS 22.3213N 113.9433E) The associated users can access the map on the phone and view the exact location where the child was left unattended, as shown in figure 2 below. Then they can contact the other users and proceed to rescue the unattended child.
