  • The open/closed sensors are attached to doors (including refrigerator and oven doors that should be closed when not in use.

  • The base unit can be programmed with task lists and reminders that can be transmitted to the user at specific times of the day or when the detection modules sense a situation requiring action.
  • The base unit can be connected to a computer for configuration.
  • When the personal digital assistant receives an alert, it vibrates and flashes the display in a specific sequence depending on the nature of the alert or prompt, then displays a text message (or graphics) describing the situation or action to be taken.
