Control device and electric furniture
According to one embodiment, a control device includes a user interface device. The user interface device includes an operation receiver that is capable of receiving a command operation for a movable part of the electric furniture. At least one of a brightness and a color of at least a portion of the user interface device changes on the basis of a fluctuation of a first signal. The first signal corresponds to a biological signal that includes at least one of the respiration and the heartbeat of the user of the electric furniture.
The embedded storage space structure of air mattress having a three-dimensional fabric
The present invention relates to an embedded accommodation space structure of an air mattress made of three-dimensional woven fabrics, the structure providing, when an air mattress that has an airtightness-exhibiting coating layer, which is formed on the outer surface of three-dimensional woven fabric woven from a plurality of pieces of pile yarn connecting the space between woven surfaces facing each other at both sides thereof, so as to be inflated by means of air pressure is manufactured, an independent space in which electric components such as a speaker for generating sound and vibration and an air pump for filling the mattress with air can be provided in a concealed state, so that the exposure of the electric components is blocked while maintaining sound transmission characteristics through the pile yarn, and thus convenience of use and exterior attractiveness can be increased. The structure for providing the independent space while maintaining the vibration characteristics of the pile yarn, inside a normal air mattress in which the three-dimensional woven fabrics are used as a base, is characterized in that a barrel-shaped box, of which the upper part is blocked by a flange formed on the outer peripheral surface of an opening so that the electric components such as the speaker for transmitting sound and the air pump for injecting air are selectively accommodated therein through the opening provided at the bottom surface thereof, and a cylinder-shaped isolated part, of which the side is opened in a state in which the plurality of pieces of pile yarn is woven above the box so as to be vertically connected between upper and lower woven surfaces and coating films are respectively formed on the outer sides of the upper and lower woven surfaces, are integrally joined therein.
Sleep phase dependent temperature control and learning methods to optimize sleep quality
A bed includes components to control temperature of a sleep surface, for example based on time and historical usage patterns by a user. In some embodiments the temperature of the sleep surface is controlled based on information indicating a sleep state of the user. In some embodiments the temperature is dynamically adjusted so to achieve particular sleep states and/or sleep patterns for the user. In some embodiments the temperature and timing of temperature adjustments is iteratively adjusted over multiple sleep sessions so to achieve improvements in sleep states and/or sleep quality for the user.
PILLOW WITH WIRELESS CHARGING
A bed has a mattress. A first wireless charging array is positioned on a top side of the mattress nearer a head of the mattress. A pillow is configured to be positioned atop the first wireless charging array. The pillow includes a second wireless charging array located on an underside of a pillow. The second wireless charging array is configured to receive energy from the first wireless charging array. A companion device is configured to use the energy. An energy storage device is within the pillow. The energy storage device is configured to store charge received by the first wireless charging array. The energy storage device is configured to supply power to the companion device.
Combination Backpack and Inflatable Mattress
The present invention is an improved recreational carrier combination such as a backpack and inflatable mattress that may be used on camping, hiking, or other recreational trips. The backpack and inflatable mattress includes one or more internal compartments for storing clothing, food, and other items. In addition, the backpack has a portable inflatable air mattress and air compressor or pump for filling the portable air mattress. The backpack further includes a rechargeable battery that may be externally charged, or alternatively, it can be charged by built-in solar panels. The backpack and inflatable mattress combination includes a set of shoulder straps for carrying the device, as well as, a handle and wheels for rolling the device. Finally, the device includes a protective cover that covers the inflatable bed when it is inflated and ready for use.
BED HAVING SENSORS FEATURES FOR DETERMINING SNORE AND BREATHING PARAMETERS OF TWO SLEEPERS
A mattress supports a left-side user and a right-side user. At least one acoustic sensor is configured to sense acoustic energy in the environment of the left-side user and of the right-side user. At least one pressure sensor is configured to sense pressure applied to the left-side portion by the left-side user and applied to the right-side portion by the right-side user. A controller is configured to receive at least one acoustic stream from the at least one acoustic sensor and at least one pressure stream from the at least one pressure sensor. Left-side snore/breath parameters and right-side snore/breath parameters are generated. The controller is further configured to, responsive to determining that a home automation rule includes a condition that includes at least one of the left-side snore/breath parameters and the right-side snore/breath parameters send an instruction to drive a controllable device to the controllable device.
Sleep Monitoring System with Multiple Vibration Sensors
According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a system for use in monitoring one or more physiological states of a user, the system comprising one or more processors configured to: receive a pressure signal representing pressure within a cushioning layer supporting at least a portion of a user and an acoustic signal representing acoustic vibrations within the cushioning layer; and determine, based on the pressure signal and acoustic signal, the one or more physiological states of the user.
Bed having rollover identifying feature
A mattress has a first support portion configure to receive and support a first user and a second support portion configured to receive and support a second user. The first support portion and the second support portion are adjacent to each other such that the first user is capable of rolling over from the first support portion to the second support portion while sleeping on the first support portion. A sensor is configured to sense first pressure in the first support portion and sense second pressure in the second support portion. The sensor is further configured to transmit data of the first pressure and the second pressure. The controller is configured to receive the data and from the data of the first pressure and the second pressure, determine if the first user has rolled over from the first support portion to the second support portion.
SLEEP PHASE DEPENDENT PRESSURE CONTROL AND LEARNING METHODS TO OPTIMIZE SLEEP QUALITY
A bed includes components to control pressure of a sleep surface, for example based on sleep position and sleep stages of a user. In some embodiments target pressures for the sleep surface are iteratively adjusted over multiple sleep sessions so to achieve improvements in sleep states and/or sleep quality for the user.
PROVIDING OUTSIDE STIMULUS TO AID IN SLEEP
A sleep system can introduce outside stimulus such as simulated heartbeat and/or respiration to induce a response from the sleeper which can cause the sleeper's body to mimic or mate up with the delivered heartbeat and/or respiration sequence. Simulated heartbeat and/or respiration introduced to the person's sleeping environment can guide the person from an awake state to a sleeping state, help the person transition between sleep stages, help the person maintain one or more sleep stages for longer or shorter durations, and gently guide the person from an asleep state to an awake state. The simulated heartbeat and/or respiration can also improve the quality of sleep that the person experiences in a given sleep phase.
