Abstract
A control method includes acquiring time information including a wake-up set time; acquiring a sleep state of a sleeper who is stimulated by a stimulation device; determining a change of the sleep state; causing the stimulation device to start increasing a stimulus which urges the sleeper to awake at a control start time as time before the wake-up set time by a predetermined time period; and controlling a change amount of the stimulus based on the change of the sleep state with the stimulus.
Claims15
A control method executed by a computer for controlling a stimulation device that outputs a stimulus, the control method comprising:
- acquiring time information including a wake-up set time;
- acquiring a sleep state of a sleeper who is stimulated by the stimulation device;
- determining a change of the sleep state;
- causing the stimulation device to start increasing a stimulus which urges the sleeper to awake at a control start time as time before the wake-up set time by a predetermined time period;
- and
- controlling an increase amount of the stimulus based on the change of the sleep state with the stimulus.
A control device comprising:
- a time acquisition unit which acquires time information including a wake-up set time;
- a sleep state acquisition unit which acquires a sleep state of a sleeper who is stimulated by a stimulation device;
- a determination unit which determines a change of the sleep state;
- and
- a stimulation control unit which causes the stimulation device to start increasing a stimulus which urges the sleeper to awake at a control start time as time before the wake-up set time by a predetermined time period, and controls an increase amount of the stimulus based on the change of the sleep state with the stimulus.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a program for causing a computer to execute:
- acquiring time information including a wake-up set time;
- acquiring a sleep state of a sleeper who is stimulated by a stimulation device;
- determining a change of the sleep state;
- causing the stimulation device to start increasing a stimulus which urges the sleeper to awake at a control start time as time before the wake-up set time by a predetermined time period;
- and
- controlling an increase amount of the stimulus based on the change of the sleep state with the stimulus.
