Sleep inducing device and sleep management system including same

#This application is the U.S. national stage application of International Patent Application No. PCT/KR2015/007282, filed Jul. 14, 2015; which claims priority to Korean Application Nos. 10-2015-0030703, filed Mar. 5, 2015; and 10-2015-0062025, filed Apr. 30, 2015, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

#The present invention relates to a sleep inducing device and a sleep management system including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a sleep inducting device, capable of measuring a sleep state of a user and of inducing desirable sleeping, and a sleep management system including the same.

#The sleep of a human being is significantly closely related to a brain wave. Brain waves are classified into alpha waves (7-14 Hz), beta waves (14-30 Hz), delta waves (0.5-4 Hz), and theta waves (4-8 Hz) depending on activity states of a brain. When alertness level is excessively high like an exercised state or a nervous state, the theta waves may mainly appear. In a sleepy state or a sleep state, the delta waves may mainly appear. In the state that the alertness level is excessively neither high nor low, the alpha waves or the theta waves may appear.

#FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a sleep inducing device, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

#FIG. 2 is a rear view illustrating a sleep inducing device, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

#FIG. 3 is a side view illustrating shape transformation of a sleep inducing device, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

#Advantage points and features of the prevent invention and a method of accomplishing thereof will become apparent from the following description with reference to the following figures, wherein embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention, however, may be embodied in various different forms, and should not be construed as being limited only to the illustrated embodiments. Rather, these embodiments are provided as examples so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art. The present invention may be defined by scope of the claims. Meanwhile, the terminology used herein to describe embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the whole specification.

#Spatially relative terms, such as “below”, “beneath”, “lower”, “above”, “upper”, and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, when a device illustrated in accompanying drawings is reversed, a device provided ‘below’ or ‘beneath’ another device may be placed ‘above’ another device. Accordingly, the term “below” may include both concepts of “below” and “above. A device may be oriented in a different direction. Accordingly, terminology having relatively spatial concepts may be variously interpreted depending on orientations.

#It will be understood that, although the terms “first”, “second”, etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, or section without departing from the teachings of the inventive concept.
