Abstract
A sleep system may include a control system for a bed device that includes platform upon which an individual may be supported. The sleep system may include multiple input sources that trigger combinational output action patterns with respect to the control system and bed device. The multiple input sources may include sensors positioned to collect input data with respect to the subject, bed device, and/or surrounding environment such as motion sensors, presence sensors, proximity sensors, sound sensors, temperature sensors, biological sensors, and/or light sensors.
Claims25
A sleep system, the system comprising
- a bed device including platform for supporting a subject;
- one or more input sensors positioned to collect input data with respect to the subject, bed device, and/or an environment surrounding the subject and/or bed device;
- a control system to receive and analyze the collected input data;
- and
- one or more output devices operable to perform output actions specified by the control system, wherein the output devices comprise one or more actuators to cause movements of the platform, one or more speakers to direct sound toward the subject, one or more light modification devices to modify lighting with respect to the subject, one or more temperature modification devices to modify a temperature of the platform, or combination thereof,
- wherein the control system specifies an output action pattern based at least in part on the analysis of the collected input data, wherein the output action pattern comprising a combination of at least two output actions selected from a movement of the platform, a sound directed toward the subject, modification of lighting, or modification of a temperature of the platform.
A control system for a sleep system that includes a bed device having a movable platform for supporting a subject, the control system comprising:
- an input module detection module to receive input data collected by a plurality of input sensors, wherein the input sensors collect the input data with respect to the subject, bed device, and/or an environment surrounding the subject and/or bed device;
- a processing module to analyze the collected input data and specify an output action pattern based at least in part on the analysis of the collected input data;
- and
- an output module to cause one or more output devices to perform the specified output action pattern, wherein the output devices comprise one or more actuators to cause movements of the platform, one or more speakers to direct sound toward the subject, one or more light modification devices to modify lighting with respect to the subject, one or more temperature modification devices to modify a temperature of the platform, or combination thereof, and wherein the output action pattern comprising a combination of at least two output actions selected from a movement of the platform, a sound directed toward the subject, modification of lighting, or modification of a temperature of the platform.
A method of controlling a bed device having a movable platform for supporting a subject, the method comprising:
- collecting input data from one or more input sensors positioned to measure properties with respect to the subject;
- analyze the collected input data;
- determining one or more statuses of the subject using at least a portion of the analysis;
- converting one or more of the determined statuses to a state of the subject;
- identifying an output action pattern corresponding to the state of the subject, wherein the output action pattern comprising a combination of at least two output actions selected from a movement of the platform, a sound directed toward the subject, modification of lighting, or modification of a temperature of the platform;
- and
- executing the output action pattern utilizing one or more output devices.
