Abstract
A system can include a bed having a mattress, a sensor, and the data processing device. The sensor is configured to sense a feature of the mattress and transmit readings to a data processing device. The data processing device includes a processor and is configured to receive the readings from the sensor and determine if the readings i) indicate a user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep. The data processing device is configured to transmit a command to a peripheral controller responsive to determining that the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep.
Claims26
A system comprising:
- a mattress;
- at least one first sensor configured to:
- monitor position of a sleeper on the mattress;
- and
- transmit readings to a data processing system comprising i) a device controller and ii) at least one server;
- and
- the data processing system configured to:
- use the readings from the first sensor to convert the readings into sleep information and determine if the sleep information indicates that a user on the mattress intends to sleep;
- and
- responsive to determining that the readings indicate that the user on the mattress intends to sleep, change a firmness of the mattress.
