Abstract
An intelligent pacifier estimates its state based on one or more sensors. Based on the estimated state, the pacifier may provide an alert or notification to a child or caretaker regarding the state of the child. The alert or notification may be generated by one or more output transducers and may increase in level depending on the estimated state. An application program communicates with the intelligent pacifier, allowing the caretaker to review and analyze the data collected by the intelligent pacifier, and to configure the intelligent pacifier. Embodiments of the intelligent pacifier may vary in the number and type of sensors, the number and type of estimated states, and the number and type of output transducers. The intelligent pacifier may be constructed as a single device or may consist of a housing that interfaces to a typical pacifier.
