Alarm Clock by Many

By Redesigner: blanka Placed on: 2007-10-24 00:00:00 When it rings, and you just left for the toilet before it rings, the ringing goes on forever and anoys you. Also when a flatmate locked his door, but left the alarm clock on.

In stead of 'make a lot of noise' it should be 'get humanoid response' and 'initiate the process of waking up'. When the first fails , go silent, try again later. The second can be mesured by response time and force used to press the snooze button. Future behavour should be based on these variables. If all wakeup try's fail... a There is no person in the room b The person is not able to rise and should sleep anyway" reply

    hmmm January 18, 2008, 3:46 pm "Some clocks have a Time Off setting, i.e. the user can set how long they want the alarm/music to go for. Another idea would be to have a progressive backoff cycle like this: 1. Ring for 1 minute 2. turn off for 1 minute 3. ring again for 1 minute at louder volume 4. turn off for 2 minutes 5. ring again for 1 minute at louder volume 6. turn off for 4 minutes and then turn off for the day after 15 to 20 min" reply
