==UTILIZATION OF INFANT ACTIVATED AUDIO PLAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041344 titled 'UTILIZATION OF INFANT ACTIVATED AUDIO PLAYER

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure is about a method that utilizes an oro-motor device to activate an audio device. The method involves providing an oro-motor device with a sensor and a nipple. When the nipple portion of the device is in an infant's mouth and the infant applies a pressure that exceeds a predetermined threshold, a signal is produced. In response to this signal, an age-appropriate audio recording is played on an audio device for a predetermined duration. The threshold is then raised proportionally to the difference between the pressure applied to the nipple portion and the predetermined threshold.

* The method involves using an oro-motor device with a sensor and a nipple.
* When an infant applies a pressure to the nipple portion that exceeds a predetermined threshold, a signal is produced.
* In response to the signal, an age-appropriate audio recording is played on an audio device for a predetermined duration.
* The threshold is adjusted based on the difference between the applied pressure and the predetermined threshold.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Promoting oral motor development in infants.
* Assisting in the development of sucking and feeding skills.
* Providing sensory stimulation for infants.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Encouraging proper oral motor development in infants.
* Helping infants with feeding difficulties.
* Providing a tool for therapists and caregivers to assist in oral motor development.

Benefits of this technology:

* Facilitates early intervention for infants with oral motor issues.
* Provides a non-invasive and interactive method for promoting oral motor skills.
* Can be used in various settings, including homes, hospitals, and therapy centers.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

one aspect of the present disclosure include a method of utilizing an oro-motor device to activate an audio device, the method includes providing an oro-motor device having a sensor and a nipple; producing a signal when the nipple portion present in an infant's mouth when the nipple portion yields a first measured pressure over an age appropriate predetermined threshold applied to the nipple portion by the infant; responsive to the signal, playing an age appropriate audio recording for a predetermined duration on an audio device; and raising the age appropriate predetermined threshold to a raised threshold proportionally to a difference between the first measured pressure application to the nipple portion and the age appropriate predetermined threshold.
