Abstract
Systems and techniques for enhanced sleep tracking, monitoring, and conditioning are discussed herein. In some examples, a nearable enhancement device may be configured to receive a smart phone or other mobile device such that one or more processors and sensors of the smart phone may be used to perform one or more processes.
Claims43
A system for monitoring sleep comprising:
- a housing;
- a first portion of the housing configured to couple the system to a piece of furniture;
- a second portion of the housing configured to couple the system to a mobile device;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the operations comprising:
- receiving an initiation signal indicative of the mobile device being coupled to the system;
- and
- causing, based at least in part on the initiation signal, one or more of the mobile device or the system to initiate a sleep sequence.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- a nearable enhancement device, the nearable enhancement device comprising:
- a first portion configured to be inserted under a mattress or box spring of a bed to secure the nearable enhancement device to the bed;
- a second portion configured to hold a mobile device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a proximity sensor located in a housing configured to receive a smart phone, an initiation signal indicative of a smart phone being proximate to the housing;
- causing, based at least in part on the initiation signal, one or more of the smart phone or the system to initiate a sleep sequence configured to promote sleep of a user proximate the housing, the sleep sequence comprising one or more of:
- activation of a do not disturb mode on the smart phone,
- activation of an airplane mode on the smart phone,
- accepting communications to the smart phone from only one or more predetermined contacts,
- causing a speaker to emit one or more sounds, or
- causing a screen to display one or more of messages or colors;
- receiving sensor data from one or more a sensor coupled to the housing, a sensor of the smart phone, or an additional sensor remote from the housing;
- determining, based at least in part on the sensor data, a phase of sleep of the user;
- and
- based at least in part on the phase of sleep, transmitting a signal to an actuator, the signal configured to control the actuator.
8 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the operations comprising:
- receiving, at a device coupled to a piece of furniture, an initiation signal;
- causing, based at least in part on the initiation signal, one or more of a speaker to emit a sound or a screen to display a message;
- receiving, at the device, data comprising one or more of sensor data from one or more a sensor coupled to the housing, a sensor of a smart phone coupled to the device, or an additional sensor remote from the device;
- determining, based at least in part on the data, a phase of sleep of a user proximate the device;
- and
- based at least in part on the phase of sleep, transmitting a signal to an actuator, the signal configured to control the actuator.
