Abstract
A method and system that is integrated in order to provide an automated control system for the user, which provides messaging to bedroom environmental control systems as a function of the status of the user's sleep state is disclosed herein. The system comprises a sleep monitoring sub-system and a bedroom environmental control sub-system. The sleep monitoring sub-system is configured to transmit the subject's sleep progression data to an interface for the bedroom environmental control system. The bedroom environmental control system is configured to modify a bedroom environment based on the subject's sleep progression data.
Claims20
A bedroom environment control device comprising:
- a sleep monitoring sub-system, in communication with at least one sensor device, and configured to monitor a subject in a bedroom environment and generate sleep information comprising a physiological parameter of the subject and motion information of the subject;
- an environmental output component housed with the bedroom environment control device and configured to change an ambient condition of the bedroom environment;
- memory configured to store the sleep information and a plurality of state-specific operating configurations for the environmental output component, the plurality of state-specific operating configurations comprising at least a sleep-onset configuration, a sleep configuration, and a wake configuration;
- and
- one or more processors operably coupled to the sleep monitoring sub-system, the environmental output component, and the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- analyze temporal changes in the sleep information over a plurality of time windows to determine sleep progression data indicating a current sleep progression state of the subject among an awake state, a sleep onset state, a sleep state, and a wake onset state;
- select, from the plurality of state-specific operating configurations stored in the memory, a selected operating configuration corresponding to the current sleep progression state;
- and
- control the environmental output component according to the selected operating configuration to adjust the ambient condition of the bedroom environment as the subject transitions toward sleep or toward waking.
A method for controlling a bedroom environment, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by a sleep monitoring sub-system, in communication with at least one sensor device, of a bedroom environment control device, a subject in a bedroom environment to generate sleep information comprising a physiological parameter of the subject and motion information of the subject;
- storing, in memory of the bedroom environment control device, the sleep information and a plurality of state-specific operating configurations for an environmental output component housed with the bedroom environment control device, the environmental output component being configured to change an ambient condition of the bedroom environment, and the plurality of state-specific operating configurations comprising at least a sleep-onset configuration, a sleep configuration, and a wake configuration;
- analyzing, by one or more processors of the bedroom environment control device, temporal changes in the sleep information over a plurality of time windows to determine sleep progression data indicating a current sleep progression state of the subject among an awake state, a sleep onset state, a sleep state, and a wake onset state;
- selecting, by the one or more processors from the plurality of state-specific operating configurations stored in the memory, a selected operating configuration corresponding to the current sleep progression state;
- and
- controlling, by the one or more processors, the environmental output component according to the selected operating configuration to adjust the ambient condition of the bedroom environment as the subject transitions toward sleep or toward waking.
