When the user wants to sleep, the physiological parameter detecting device 11 and the sounding device 14 can be put on or set in an appropriate position, and then the application of the near device 13 (Application, APP, through the touch display module 132) can be activated. The displayed interface is activated, and then the step S101 is started to detect at least one first physiological parameter of the user, and a first physiological parameter signal is generated and transmitted. After the application is started, the triggering physiological parameter detecting device 11 detects at least one first physiological parameter of the user 2, and generates and transmits a first physiological parameter signal S1. In other embodiments, the physiological parameter detecting device 11 can be automatically triggered to start the detecting action when the detecting device 11 is worn or set. Since the preferred embodiment of the present invention detects the brain wave of the user, the physiological parameter detecting device 11 is a brain wave meter, but in other embodiments, at least one of detecting heartbeat, breathing, and myoelectricity may be detected. In addition, the first physiological parameter of the preferred embodiment of the present invention may be that the physiological parameter detecting device 11 obtains the original information of the brain wave (for example, the brain wave waveform parameter), and may also be the category information classified according to the original information. .

After the physiological parameter detecting device 11 transmits the first physiological parameter signal S1, step S102 is performed. In this step, the first transmission module 121 of the sound information matching device 12 receives the first physiological parameter signal S1 from the second transmission module 131 of the near-end device 131. After receiving the first physiological parameter signal S1, the first transmission module 121 transmits the first physiological parameter signal S1 to the first processing module 123, so as to match the physiological parameter sounds stored in the matching storage module 122. In Table 1221, at least one is found to match the first physiological parameter of the user 2 Sound information, and accordingly, a first sound signal S2 is generated and transmitted. The physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221 may be a comparison table having the first physiological parameter signal S1 and the first sound information.

Specifically, the first processing module 123 can learn the first physiological parameter in the first physiological parameter signal S1, and the first processing module 123 can find the first physiological parameter in the physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221. The first sound information 12211, therefore, because the first sound information 12211 corresponds to the first physiological parameter signal S1, that is, the effect of assisting the user to sleep, the first processing module 123 can be found in the physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221. Corresponding to the first sound information 12211 of the first physiological parameter signal S1, the first sound signal S2 is generated and transmitted. For example, if the first physiological parameter is a brain wave, the physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221 may have first sound information 12211 applicable to various types of brain waves; in addition, the first physiological parameter may also be a detected brain wave. The classified information is classified, so that the first processing module 123 only needs to perform table lookup according to the classified information to find suitable first sound information 12211.

Therefore, after the user 2 falls asleep for a period of time, the preferred embodiment of the present invention further performs step S105, and the physiological parameter detecting device 11 detects at least one second physiological parameter of the user 2, thereby generating and transmitting a first The second physiological parameter signal S11 to the proximal device 13. The near-end device 13 records and analyzes the sleep information of the user 2, and when it is determined that the user 2 is poorly sleeping (for example, should enter the sleeping period but the user is still in the rapid eye movement period), the second processing module 133 of the proximal device 13 is The second physiological parameter signal S11 at this time is transmitted to the first transmission module 121 of the sound information matching device 12 through the second transmission module 131. After receiving the second physiological parameter signal S11, the first transmission module 121 transmits the second physiological parameter signal S11 to the first processing module 123, so as to match the physiological parameter sound comparison table stored by the storage module 122. In 1221, a second sound information 12211d matching the second physiological parameter of the user 2 is found, and a third sound signal S22 is generated and transmitted accordingly. The physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221 may be a comparison table having the second physiological parameter signal S11 and the second sound information 12211d.

In other embodiments, the first processing module 123 may calculate corresponding sleep cycle information according to the sleep time, and then match the second physiological parameter signal S11 to the first physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221 to find the second sound. In another embodiment, the first processing module 123 can parse the sleep cycle information from the second physiological parameter signal S11 and then find the second sound information 13411 in the first physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221.

Specifically, since the second sound information 13411 corresponds to the second physiological parameter signal S11, that is, the effect of maintaining a good sleep cycle of the user, the first processing module 123 can find the corresponding correspondence in the physiological parameter sound comparison table 1221. The second sound information 12211d of the second physiological parameter signal S11 further generates and transmits the third sound signal S22.

Next, in step S106, the first processing module 123 transmits the third sound signal S22 to the near-end device 13 via the first transmission module 121 and the second transmission module 131. The near-end device 13 transmits a fourth sound signal S33 to the playing module 142 of the sounding device 14 via the second transmission module 131 and the third transmission module 141, thereby playing the second sound information 12211d. In other embodiments, the near-end device 13 has a built-in play module 142, so the near-end device 13 can directly listen to the user 2 to play a good sleep cycle by playing the second sound information 12211d. In other embodiments, the play module 142 can simultaneously play the first sound information 12211 and the second sound information 12211d.

In addition, in another embodiment, the first processing module 123 can immediately analyze the second physiological parameter of the user 2, and then parse out the sleep cycle information (ie, the information of the first image and the second image), and then physiologically The second sound information 12211e corresponding to the physiological parameter signal S11 is found in the parameter sound comparison table 1221, and transmitted to the playing module 142 via the first transmission module 121, the second transmission module 131, and the third transmission module 141. Making the playback module 142 plays the second sound information 12211d, and further plays the second sound information 12211e. Therefore, the user 2 actually hears the sound mixed by the second sound information 12211d and the second sound information 12211e, so that the user can maintain good performance. Sleep quality.

In addition, in another embodiment, the second processing module 133 can also analyze the first physiological parameter or the second physiological parameter in real time (the physiological parameter detecting device 11 can directly transmit to the near-end device 13), and parse out the user 2 The sleep cycle information is further transmitted to the sound information matching device 12, that is, the analysis of the sleep cycle information can be performed by the near-end device 13 or the sound information matching device 12.
