Claims18
A sleeping bag system, including:
- a sleeping bag that is washable with water, including in a laundry machine, wherein the sleeping bag includes a monitoring system that includes:
- a plurality of sensors, including:
- at least one temperature sensor implanted into or onto fabric of the sleeping bag configured to measure an internal air temperature in the sleeping bag and/or a skin temperature of an occupant in the sleeping bag, and
- a movement sensor implanted into or onto the fabric the sleeping bag to measure movement of the sleeping bag, wherein the movement sensor includes a plurality of strain sensors located in a first two-dimensional (2D) pattern on the front of the bag and a second 2D pattern on the back of the bag;
- electronic circuitry for the sensors located in the sleeping bag;
- and
- an enclosure that is removably attachable to the bag, the enclosure including:
- an on-bag processor,
- a wireless transceiver to communicate information represented by measurement data from sensor signals representing the measurements from the sensor, and
- a battery for powering the monitoring system.
