　　Google has revealed plans for a "remote babysitter" service that uses cameras and motion sensors to alert parents when their child is in danger.

　　The smart home system would use a series of sensors to tell if an infant has been left alone for more than 10 minutes, and then send a text or email to parents.

　　It would use its sensors to shut off plug sockets when a child gets near, and lock digital doors to prevent them from escaping a room, according to the patent.

　　Other features include blinking lights and audio warnings such as: "Toddler unattended" in a certain room, "Your child is approaching an electrical outlet," and "Your child is alone for 10 minutes."

　　"Typically these hazards are avoided by not leaving children unattended in the first place,"the firm wrote in its patent.

　　"However, there may be situations where children are left unattended within the home due to circumstances beyond a parent or guardian's control".

　　"In these situations, the parent or guardian may not have had the opportunity to make safe those potentially hazardous elements, thus putting the unattended children at risk."

　　Each feature could be controlled by Google's "Home" mini-speaker, according to the Evening Standard.
