BATTERY ENHANCING VEHICLE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE MONITORING DEVICE

A system for monitoring ambient temperatures surrounding a child's car seat and alerting a user of unsafe highs or lows includes a battery and a microcontroller mounted within a housing. The microcontroller includes a transmitter that communicates with a temperature sensor and an external server. The transmitter and the temperature sensor each have an active state and a resting state. In the resting state, the components draw little to no power from the battery. The temperature sensor periodically enters the active state to take ambient temperature readings. When those ambient temperature readings fall outside of the predetermined ranges for child safety, the transmitter enters the active state and sends an alert to the server, which relays the alert to the user. The transmitter can also send the alert to an emergency communications line or emit an audible alarm to alert nearby people of the unsafe conditions.
