SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF BEDS
Disclosed are techniques for temperature control of a bed. A system can include a bed having first and second sides, the bed having a mattress, a first thermal module on the first side, and a second thermal module on the second side. A computer system can receive data about the bed, such as temperature, pressure, heat routine activation, and cool routine activation data for at least one of the first and second side, determine that a heat routine is activated on the first side based on the data, detect that the second side is unoccupied by a user, generate, based on (i) the heat routine being activated and (ii) the second side being unoccupied, instructions that cause the second thermal module to activate a heat crosstalk mitigation routine, and transmit the instructions to the second thermal module for activation of the heat crosstalk mitigation routine on the second side.
ADAPTIVE SLEEP SYSTEM USING DATA ANALYTICS AND LEARNING TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL SLEEP CONDITIONS
A bed integrates sensors and other inputs to detect specific sleep environment conditions including point-specific pressure and/or temperature conditions. The bed includes a controller for commanding actuator or other devices to adjust these conditions. The controller may do so based on reference patterns for conditions and profiles of desired conditions. Information regarding the conditions may be provided to a remote computer, which may analyze the conditions and provide revised profiles of desired conditions.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR HEATING OR COOLING A BED BASED ON HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SIGNALS
Introduced are methods and systems for an adjustable bed device configured to: gather biological signals associated with multiple users, such as heart rate, respiration rate, or temperature; analyze the gathered human biological signals; and heat or cool a bed based on the analysis.
BED HAVING ENVIRONMENTAL SENSING AND CONTROL FEATURES
A sensor system senses a plurality of environmental phenomena and send a data message with sensed parameters. The computer system determines an indication that the sensed parameter indicated low-quality sleep and sends an instruction to adjust the environment. A control system adjusts the environment without particular input from a user.
Bed
A bed includes a mattress set, an adjustable bedframe to adjust a position or orientation of the mattress, and a dryer to dry the mattress set. The dryer includes a fan, a filter, and a heater to discharge filtered hot air toward the dryer. A humidity sensing sheet may be provided to sense a humidity level at different regions or areas of the bed, and the dryer may be controlled to supply hot air to regions of the bed having a higher humidity level than a predetermined humidity level or humidity range.
BODY SUPPORTING SYSTEM WITH ADJUSTABLE FIRMNESS AND RELATED METHOD
A body supporting device system is provided comprising: a body supporting device configured to support at least part of a body; a pressure sensing layer comprising a plurality of pressure sensors arranged in a sensor pattern, the plurality of pressure sensors being each configured to sense pressure on the surface of the body supporting device at a corresponding sensing location; and a firmness adjusting layer comprising a plurality of actuators arranged in an actuator pattern, the plurality of actuators are each configured to control the firmness of the surface of the body supporting device at a corresponding adjusting location based on some or all of the pressures sensed by the plurality of pressure sensors
Shaped body made from a foam and springs as well as uses thereof
A shaped body having at least one spring and at least one foam section. The uppermost section of the foam section is attached to the uppermost section of the at least one spring, and the lowest section of the foam section is attached to the lowest section of the at least one spring. The shaped body may be a viscoelastic foam and may include a temperature-regulating device arranged in thermal contact with the foam section and a control device for the temperature-regulating device adapted to adjust the firmness of the foam section by alteration of temperature. The shaped body is used as a bed or mattress for promoting sleep in one application or as a cushion.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR HEATING OR COOLING A BED BASED ON HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SIGNALS
Introduced are methods and systems for an adjustable bed device configured to: gather biological signals associated with multiple users, such as heart rate, respiration rate, or temperature; analyze the gathered human biological signals; and heat or cool a bed based on the analysis.
Body state determination device, body support device, and body state determination method
A body state determination device includes a detection unit that is configured to detect a plurality of pressure distributions formed by a body weight of a user, and a determination unit that is configured to determine a state of a body of the user by comparing the plurality of pressure distributions detected by the detection unit with each other.
Adjustable sleeping system with massage function
Adjustable sleeping system with massage function. At least one example embodiment is a method of operating a sleeping system, the method including massaging a person residing on a sleeping surface of the sleeping system, the massaging by driving a plurality of adjustable spring assemblies, the plurality of adjustable spring assemblies part of an array of adjustable spring assemblies arranged such that a top of each adjustable spring assembly defines an upper surface parallel to the sleeping surface.
