Description

System and method for adjusting smart bed

The invention is a smart bed adjustment system and method. The technical content integrates a smart bed that can be divided into blocks to adjust the soft hardness, muscle strength / pressure detection, sleep state detection, network transmission technology, and sleep management methods. The user obtains an exclusive adjustment parameter so that all smart beds of the same specification can be adjusted to suit the soft hardness of the user.

According to the general bed, the bearing surface for the human body to lie down and sleep is composed of a single flexible material with elasticity, but the user's center of gravity (weight) of each part is different due to different body curves, heights and weights. Therefore, when the user sleeps on the bed surface, the bed surface of a single material will feedback different support forces in various parts of the body; this situation of different support force feedback to the body often makes the user not sleep during sleep. Turn consciously to adjust your sleeping position, so that your body muscles cannot be completely relaxed.

In order to overcome the above problems, the freestanding mattresses, memory mattresses, or latex mattresses on the market, etc., all aim to propose solutions to the problem of uneven support. Among them, the design of setting different soft hardness according to the curves of various parts of the human body on the bed surface is also one of the effective solutions that can make the bed surface evenly supported.

At present, the parts on the bed are designed to have different soft hardness or high and low shapes. Most of them use the air cushion bed structure that appeared earlier in medical applications. The remote control is used to manually control the inflation or discharge of multiple airbags in the bed. Air, so that each airbag can adjust the saturation; so when the user is lying on the bed, different soft hardness is generated due to the difference in saturation of each airbag.

Theoretically, although the above air cushion bed can provide a more uniform supporting force, in practice, because the adjustment requires the user to lie down on the bed first when he is awake and adjust gradually according to his feelings, the process may be due to the user ’s physical function. The natural response of the muscle makes it impossible for the muscles to relax completely, so even after adjusting to the degree that the user thinks is most comfortable, whether the goal can really be achieved or not, you still need to actually observe the sleep situation to know. In addition, even if the user adjusts the bed set in the home to the most comfortable state, when traveling or traveling in the field, he often cannot get enough rest because he does not adapt to the softness of the bed set in the hotel.

In related technology, CN103780691A proposes a smart sleep system combining a smart bed and the cloud. Its technical content is to collect physiological data and environmental data such as breathing, heartbeat, and other physiological data, as well as temperature, humidity, and environment while the user is sleeping. Illumination, noise and other environmental data, and then upload all collected physiological data and environmental data to the cloud for cloud platform management and analysis.

Although physiological data, environmental data collection, and cloud management are currently mature technologies, the acquisition of these data must be observed for a long time, and the environment must be strictly monitored to make sense. For consumers who buy bed sets, Say, do not hesitate. In addition, even if more data is collected and analyzed, if the bed group or the sleeping environment cannot be adjusted with such statistical data, it cannot meet the user's needs for bed group adjustment when staying outside. For example, after the environmental data is collected and analyzed, it can only be applied on the premise that the sleeping environment can be accurately and automatically adjusted and controlled. It is conceivable that the CN103780691A may be more suitable for research use. For the manufacturers or consumers of bed sets on the market, they will inevitably encounter many insurmountable difficulties in practical application.

In fact, many literatures and studies have pointed out that when the human body lies on the bed and relaxes, the muscle strength of each part of the body or the proportion of pressure on the bed surface relative to each part of the body has a certain rule to follow, and Whether people can fully rest while sleeping can also be determined by scientific methods. For example, the theory proves that the deep sleep period during sleep is the time to get sufficient rest. The longer the deep sleep period, the better the recovery of fatigue, and whether people enter the deep sleep period during sleep can also be passed by sleep detection equipment. Physiological states such as brain waves, respiration, heartbeat, and blood pressure were detected.

Therefore, the inventor envisages that if the muscle strength / pressure test can be performed on the user before adjusting the softness of the bed group, let the smart bed be adjusted in different parts first, and then under these different adjustment states, Using a sleep detection device to detect its sleep state will be able to more efficiently find the adjustment method that is most suitable for the user, not only to adjust the smart bed to the most suitable state, but these parameters can also be applied to all smart beds. When users stay out, as long as they are smart beds of the same specifications, they can quickly adjust using this exclusive parameter.

The object of the present invention is to provide a smart bed adjustment system and method, which aims to select at least two sets of possible adjustment parameters for a specific user in advance, and after the smart bed is adjusted separately, the corresponding ones of different adjustment parameters are detected.

Based on the technical means of the present invention, the following is a list of implementations suitable for the creation, and illustrated with the drawings as follows:

As shown in the first and second figures, in the smart bed adjustment system of the present invention, the smart bed 10 has an identification code 11, and the bed surface 12 is divided into a plurality of support blocks 13 according to different parts of the human body. Each support At least one airbag 14 is provided in the block 13, and each airbag 14 is connected to a deflation device 15. The deflation device 15 can adjust the softness and hardness of each airbag 14 through a controller 16, and the controller 16 A plurality of different adjustment parameters 17 are preset according to different combinations of softness and hardness of each support block 13.

For example, multiple support blocks 13 are divided into head, shoulder and neck, back, waist, hips, and legs. Each support block 13 is divided into three adjustment modes: soft, moderate, and hard. When setting adjustment parameter 17, Soft head, moderate shoulders and necks, soft back, hard waist, soft hips, moderate legs can be used to form the first adjustment parameter 17; and moderate head, hard shoulders and necks, soft back, soft waist, moderate hips The legs are stiff and constitute the second type of adjustment parameter 17, and so on to form the above-mentioned multiple sets of adjustment parameters 17.

The adjustment parameters 17 adjust the softness and hardness of each airbag 14 separately; in practice, the method of muscle strength / pressure detection is not limited to using equipment to detect, as long as it is hardware, software, or software that can detect human muscle strength / pressure in the sleeping position. Human tests can be implemented.

Take the aforementioned adjustment parameter 17 as an example. After testing, the user's more suitable adjustment parameter 17 is the first, fourth, and fifth groups. When the first group of adjustment parameters 17 is selected on the controller 16, the controller 16 can The multiple support blocks 13 are adjusted to have a soft head, moderate shoulders and necks, soft back, hard waist, soft hips, moderate legs, and so on.
