The Problem Addressed
Pretty often, of two (or more) people sharing bed or room, one has to get up earlier. Standard sound-based alarm clocks wake up everybody. A silent alarm clock would wake up the early riser only.
Two Key Features of the Silent Alarm Clock
1.Bluetooth Vibrating Wrist Band: the alarm clock would have a bluetooth vibrating wrist band (see an example)
2.Focused Light Beam: the alarm clock would to turn a focused light beam on.
A silent alarm clock including a portable receiver unit with a wrist watch-type configuration. The receiver unit includes a vibrator adapted to create a vibrating sensation upon the receipt of a radio signal. To provide power to the receiver unit a rechargeable battery is included with a pair of associated contacts and a charger adapted to allow the recharging thereof. Also included is a base transmitter unit with a recharging base having a pair of contacts for contacting those of the receiver unit in a recharge orientation. A clock unit is situated within the base transmitter unit having associated control circuitry and a speaker. The clock circuitry is adapted to define at least two predetermined times. The base transmitter unit is adapted to transmit an audio signal via the speaker at a predetermined time if the receiver unit is the recharge orientation thereof and further generate a radio signal via free space if the receiver unit is not in the recharge orientation. Thus, a first user is awakened via the vibrator at the first predetermined time and places the receiver unit within the recharging base thereafter. A second user is then awakened at the second predetermined time via the audio alarm.
