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.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- a mattress;
- a sensor configured to:
- sense a feature of the mattress;
- and
- transmit readings to a data processing device;
- and
- the data processing device comprising a processor and configured to:
- receive the readings from the sensor;
- determine if the readings i) indicate a user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep;
- and
- responsive to determining that the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep, transmit a command to a peripheral controller.
A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a sensor configured to sense a feature of a mattress, readings;
- determining if the readings i) indicate a user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep;
- and
- responsive to determining that the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep, transmitting a command to a peripheral controller.
A system comprising:
- means for supporting a user on a mattress;
- a sensor configured to:
- sense a feature of the mattress;
- and
- transmit readings to a data processing device;
- and
- the data processing device comprising a processor and configured to:
- receive the readings from the sensor;
- determine if the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep;
- and
- responsive to determining that the readings i) indicate user presence on the mattress and ii) indicate the user intends to sleep, transmit a command to a peripheral controller.
