Abstract
The present invention provides a customized sleep management method performed by a customized sleep management system including a step of collecting a bio-signal by using a computing device; a step of generating user sleep data by performing a pre-processing process on the collected bio-signal; a step of classifying sleep steps by using a sleep analysis model receiving the user sleep data and detecting sleep disorder appearing in the classified sleep steps; and a step of providing customized stimulation for alleviating the detected sleep disorder. The bio-signal includes at least one of an electrophysiological signal and a non-electrophysiological signal.
Claims15
A customized sleep management method performed by a customized sleep management system, the method comprising:
- collecting a bio-signal by using a computing device;
- generating user sleep data by performing a pre-processing process on the collected bio-signal;
- classifying sleep steps by using a sleep analysis model receiving the user sleep data and detecting a sleep disorder appearing in the classified sleep steps;
- and
- providing customized stimulation for alleviating the detected sleep disorder,
- wherein the bio-signal includes a pre-sleep bio-signal measured in an awake state before sleep and a post-sleep bio-signal measured in real time according to a sleep step and the detected sleep disorder after sleep starts, and
- wherein providing the customized stimulation further comprises:
- monitoring, in real time, a sleep state of the user after providing the customized stimulation;
- determining a degree of alleviation of the sleep disorder based on the monitored sleep state;
- and
- dynamically adjusting an intensity of the customized stimulation based on one or more user-specific characteristics when symptoms of the sleep disorder are not alleviated beyond a threshold level.
A customized sleep management system comprising:
- a measurement device including at least one measurement module comprising at least one sensor configured to measure a bio-signal;
- a stimulation providing device including at least one stimulation providing module comprising an ultrasonic humidifier, temperature or electrical stimulator configured to provide stimulation to a user;
- and
- a computing device configured to collect the bio-signal through the measurement device and provide customized stimulation through the stimulation providing device to alleviate a sleep disorder in sleep steps classified by analysis of the collected bio-signal,
- wherein the bio-signal includes a pre-sleep bio-signal measured in an awake state before sleep and a post-sleep bio-signal measured in real time according to a sleep step and the sleep disorder after sleep starts,
- wherein the computing device includes a memory storing a customized sleep management program, and a processor for executing the program stored in the memory,
- wherein the processor executes the customized sleep management program to collect the bio-signal measured by the measurement device, performs a pre-processing process on the collected bio-signal to receive user sleep data generated by performing pre-processing process for the collected bio-signal and to output sleep disorder information, and provides the customized stimulation matching the sleep disorder information through the stimulation providing device, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- monitor, in real time, a sleep state of the user after the customized stimulation is provided;
- determine a degree of alleviation of the sleep disorder based on the monitored sleep state;
- and
- dynamically adjust an intensity of the customized stimulation based on one or more user-specific characteristics when symptoms of the sleep disorder are not alleviated beyond a threshold level.
