Abstract
A system including one or more sensors for use with a bed, and a controller operably connected to the one or more sensors, the controller comprising a processor and computer-readable memory, the controller configured to receive a first set of sensor data from the one or more sensors, determine a position of a user, receive a second set of sensor data from the one or more sensors, determine a change in the position of the user, and based on determining a change in the position of the user, provide instructions to perform an action.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a bed having a mattress;
- one or more sensors;
- and
- a controller operably connected to the bed, the controller comprising a processor and computer-readable memory, the controller configured to:
- at a first time:
- i) receive a first set of sensor data from the one or more sensors;
- ii) analyze the first set of sensor data;
- iii) determine a first position of a user based on analyzing the first set of sensor data;
- iv) compare the first position of the user to a user-preferred position;
- and
- v) determine whether the user is in the user-preferred position based on comparing the first position of the user to the user-preferred position;
- at a second time:
- i) receive a second set of sensor data from the one or more sensors;
- ii) analyze the second set of sensor data;
- and
- iii) determine a second position of the user based on analyzing the second set of sensor data;
- iv) compare the second position of the user to the user-preferred position;
- v) determine whether the user is not in the user-preferred position based on comparing the second position of the user to the user-preferred position;
- and
- generate, based on a determination that the user is not in the user-preferred position, a haptic response.
