Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, this is merely an example and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the following description, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and may be changed according to the intention or custom of the user, the operator, and the like. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

The technical idea of the present invention is determined by the claims, and the following embodiments are merely a means for effectively explaining the technical idea of the present invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an air pocket module according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an air pocket according to Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of an air pocket according to Fig.

Referring to Figures 1-3, the air pocket module 100 may be inserted into an air mattress 10, which the user may sit or lie down on. Specifically, the air pocket module 100 can be used for the air mattress 10 for a bed.

The air pocket module 100 may include a plurality of air pockets 110 and a bottom plate 130.

Each of the air pockets 110 is formed with a hollow therein, which expands due to inflow of air or contracts due to outflow of air. The air pocket 110 may include a plurality of surfaces.

2 and 3, the air pocket 110 includes an upper surface portion 1110, a side surface portion 1120, a first connection portion 1130, a contact portion 1140, a first expansion portion 1151, The first reinforcement portion 1171, the second reinforcement portion 1172, and the second connection portion 1180. The expansion portion 1152 may be formed of the same material as the first reinforcement portion 1171,

The upper surface portion 1110 forms the upper surface of the air pocket 110. When the user lies on the air mattress 10, the upper surface portion 1110 is a portion that supports the user, and may be a portion directly receiving the load of the user. The upper surface portion 1110 can be pressed by the load of the user.

The side portion 1120 is connected to the upper surface portion 1110 to form a side surface of the air pocket 110.

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the side surface portion 1120 is formed of four surfaces and the top surface portion 1110 is rectangular. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the side surface portion 1120 may include five side surfaces, and the top surface portion 1110 may be formed in a pentagonal shape, or may include various other shapes.

The side surface portion 1120 may include a first side surface 1121 and a second side surface 1122. Specifically, the side surface portion 1120 may be formed of four surfaces, and two opposing surfaces of the four surfaces may be referred to as a first side surface 1121, and two other surfaces facing each other may be referred to as a second side surface 1122).

The first connection portion 1130 is formed at a corner portion where the top surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120 are connected to connect the top surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120. That is, the first connection portion 1130 may be formed at a corner portion where the top surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120 are connected. The first connection portion 1130 may be inclined from the upper surface portion 1110 toward the side surface portion 1120.

The first connecting portion 1130 formed to be inclined can disperse the load of the user applied to the top surface portion 1110 and prevent deformation or depression of the top surface portion 1110 pressed by the user's load. Specifically, the upper surface portion 1110 receiving the load of the user is pressed toward the lower plate 130, that is, inside the air pocket 110 by the load of the user. At this time, when the upper surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120 are vertically connected to each other, when the upper surface portion 1110 is pushed into the air pocket 110 by the load, the upper surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120 are connected A difference in height is generated at the edge portions where the edges are formed. If such a height difference occurs repeatedly, the edge portion can be easily depressed and the air pocket 110 may be broken. In order to prevent this, the first connection portion 1130 may be formed to have a predetermined inclination from the upper surface portion 1110 to the side surface portion 1120. Even if the upper surface portion 1110 receives a load, the height difference can be reduced by the inclination of the first connection portion 1130. [ Therefore, it is possible to prevent the top surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120 from being depressed or damaged by the load.

The contact portion 1140 protrudes upward from the central portion of the upper surface portion 1110 to support the user. That is, the contact portion 1140 may protrude upward from the upper surface portion 1110 by a predetermined height difference. Therefore, the upper surface portion 1110 can be protected by dispersing the pressure applied to the upper surface portion 1110 by the user's load. Here, the predetermined height difference may be such that when the user is laid on the air mattress 10, it does not feel a foreign body feeling.

 Specifically, the contact portion 1140 is protruded from the center portion of the upper surface portion 1110 to prevent the upper surface portion 1110 directly receiving the load from being depressed. Accordingly, when the user sits or lies on the air mattress 10, the load of the user may be loaded first on the contact portion 1140. A load is first applied to the upper surface portion 1110 after the load of the user is first loaded on the contact portion 1140. In addition, the contact portion 1140 protrudes, so that the upper surface portion 1110 may not be directly depressed by the load of the user. Accordingly, when the user sits down or lies, the contact portion 1140 can protect the top surface portion 1110 from the load of the user applied to the air pocket 110.

The first bulging portion 1151 may be included in the first side 1121. The first bulging portion 1151 may be concavely formed in the hollow side so that the side portions 1120 of the adjacent plurality of air pockets 110 do not contact each other when the air pockets 110 are inflated.

The second expanding portion 1152 may be included in the second side 1122. The second expanding portion 1152 may be recessed in the hollow side so that the side portions of the adjacent plurality of air pockets 110 do not contact each other when the air pocket 110 is inflated. In addition, a plurality of the second bulging portions 1152 may be formed on each of the second side surfaces 1122.

Specifically, when air is supplied to the air pocket 110, the air pocket 110 is inflated. When the adjacent air pockets 110 are expanded and contacted with each other, the pressure build-up that each air pocket 110 has to form is inhibited. In order to prevent this, a first inflating portion 1151 and a second inflating portion 1152 may be formed in the side portion 1120 to be concave at a predetermined depth to the hollow side of the air pocket 110.

The support 1160 may be included in the second side 1122. The support portions 1160 may be formed to be convex outwardly of the air pockets 110 between the plurality of second expanding portions 1152 formed on each of the second side surfaces 1122. [ That is, a support portion 1160 may be formed between the two second expanding portions 1152. The upper end of the support portion 1160 is connected to the contact portion 1140 so that the supporting force of the contact portion 1140 can be enhanced.

The first reinforcing portion 1171 is included in the first side 1121. The first reinforcement portion 1171 may be formed to be inclined inwardly from the first connection portion 1130 toward the lower end of the first side surface 1121. The first reinforcing portion 1171 may be formed to have a gradually narrower width from the first connecting portion 1130 to the lower portion of the first side 1121.

The second reinforcing portion 1172 is included in the second side surface 1122. The second reinforcing portion 1172 may be formed to be inclined inwardly from the first connecting portion 1130 toward the lower end of the supporting portion 1160. The second reinforcing portion 1172 may be formed to have a gradually narrower width from the first connecting portion 1130 to the lower portion of the supporting portion 1160.

The first reinforcing portion 1171 and the second reinforcing portion 1172 are formed so that a load is applied to a corner portion (i.e., the first connecting portion 1130) where the upper surface portion 1110 and the side surface portion 1120 are connected, As it is concentrated, it is possible to prevent the air pocket 110 from collapsing or being abnormally depressed. In other words, the first reinforcement portion 1171 and the second reinforcement portion 1172 prevent deformation of the upper surface portion 1110 from the load placed on the upper surface portion 1110, thereby improving the strength of the air pocket 110 .

The first reinforcing portion 1171 and the second reinforcing portion 1172 are formed in a groove shape and may have a groove shape gradually narrower from the first connecting portion 1130 to the lower portion of the side portion 1120. The reinforcing portion 1170 may be formed in a protrusion shape, but it may be preferable that the reinforcing portion 1170 is formed in a groove shape because the protrusion shape can give a foreign body feeling to the user.

The second connection portion 1180 may be connected to the lower portion of the air pocket 110 and the lower plate 130.

The second connection portion 1180 may be formed to slant outward from the end of the air pocket 110 toward the lower plate 130.

The lower plate 130 is coupled under the plurality of air pockets 110 to shield the hollow of the air pockets 110. The lower plate 130 may be plate-shaped. A nozzle 131 (see FIG. 6) for supplying and discharging air to and from the air pocket 110 may be formed in the lower plate 130. A detailed description of the nozzle 131 will be given later with reference to FIG.

Figure 4 is a top view of the air pocket module according to Figure 1;

Referring to FIG. 4, the air pocket module 100 may include a plurality of air pockets 110. Specifically, a plurality of air pockets 110 are arranged in each of the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of rows and columns are formed to form one air pocket module 100.

In the present embodiment, the air pocket module 100 will be described by way of example including air pockets 110 arranged in 4 rows by 5 columns.

The air pocket module 100 includes a flow path 140 for communicating a plurality of air pockets 110 with each other. Specifically, the flow path 140 includes a first flow path 141 and a second flow path 142.

The first flow path 141 communicates the air pockets 110 adjacent to each row. That is, the first flow path 141 communicates air between the adjacent air pockets 110 arranged in the transverse direction. One or more of these first flow paths 141 may be formed between adjacent air pockets 110. Preferably, two first flow paths 141 may be formed between adjacent air pockets 110.

The second flow path 142 communicates the air pockets 110 adjacent to each row. That is, the second flow path 142 communicates air between the adjacent air pockets 110 disposed in the longitudinal direction.

The first flow path 141 may be formed in each of the first row, the second row, the third row and the fourth row. The second flow path 142 is formed between the first row and the second row so that the air pockets 110 between the first row and the second row can communicate with each other. In other words, the first row, the second row, the third row and the fourth row of the air pocket module 100 can communicate with the air pockets 110 arranged in each row by the first flow path 141 . Further, the first row and the second row may be further arranged with the second flow path 142, so that the first row and the second row can communicate with each other.

The air pocket unit 11 can be inserted into the body part 12 more than once. In this embodiment, two air pocket units 11 are inserted into the inside of the body portion 12 as an example. Specifically, the first air pocket unit 11L may be disposed on the left side of the body portion 12, and the second air pocket unit 11R may be disposed on the right side. The first air pocket unit 11L and the second air pocket unit 11R can be controlled through the mattress control unit 13, respectively.

The body portion 12 forms the overall shape of the air mattress 10, and the air pocket unit 11 is inserted. An air pocket unit fixing part 121 for inserting the air pocket unit 11 may be formed in the body part 12. [ In addition, a controller fixing portion 122 for mounting the mattress control portion 13 may be formed.

The mattress control section 13 is mounted on the body section 12, and the mattress control section 13 can control the air mattress 10. Specifically, the pressure of the air pocket unit 11 can be adjusted. The mattress control unit 13 includes a plurality of air pockets (not shown) located in the first zone 11-1, the second zone 11-2, the third zone 11-3 and the fourth zone 11-4 110).

The mattress control unit 13 can control the first air pocket unit 11L and the second air pocket unit 11R respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the body part 12. [

The pressure sensor unit 14 is capable of measuring the pressure of the air pocket unit 11.

The pressure sensor unit 14 measures the pressure of the air pocket 110 and includes a first zone 11-1, a second zone 11-2, a third zone 11-3 and a fourth zone 11 -4) Each pressure measurement is possible.

11 is a block diagram schematically showing the construction of an air mattress according to an embodiment of the present invention.

11, the air mattress 10 includes a mattress communication unit 16, a mattress memory unit 17, a sleep time measurement unit 18, a pressure change amount calculation unit 19, a pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20, A pressure calculating unit 21, a microphone 22, and a snoring determination unit 23.

The mattress communication unit 16 can communicate with the user terminal 30 and the server 50 to transmit and receive data. The mattress communication unit 16 may receive the set value or the user information from the user terminal 30. [ Here, the set value may be a set value for setting the condition and environment of the air mattress 10, including the pressure intensity and sleeping time desired by the user, and the user information may include a user's height, weight, And the like.

The mattress communication unit 16 is connected to the server communication unit 52 (see Fig. 12) and can transmit the measurement data to the server 50. Fig. Here, the measurement data includes a pressure measurement value measured in the air mattress 10, a pressure change amount, a sleep time, a pressure adjustment amount for each zone, and the like.

The mattress memory 17 may store set values or user information transmitted through the mattress communication unit 16. [ The measurement data measured and calculated by the pressure sensor unit 14, the sleep time measurement unit 18, the pressure change amount calculation unit 19, and the pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20 may be stored.

The sleeping time measuring unit 18 measures the sleeping time through the use of the air mattress 10. It is possible to measure the time from the moment when the user turns on the air mattress 10 to the moment when the air mattress 10 is turned off. For example, the time set from the user terminal 30 can be measured as the sleeping time.

In addition, the sleeping time measuring unit 18 may include a timer function. It can include an automatic end function or an alarm function in accordance with the sleeping time set by the user as a set value. For example, after the time set by the user, the functions of the pressure adjusting function and the pressure measuring function of the air pocket 110 of the air mattress 10 can be automatically terminated.

In addition, the sleeping time measuring unit 18 can measure the time when the user uses the air mattress 10 based on the pressure applied to the air pocket unit 11, even if the user does not set the sleeping time. For example, the time during which a load is applied to the air pocket unit 11 can be measured and measured by the use time.

The pressure change amount calculating section 19 can calculate the pressure change amount of the air pocket unit 11 while the user uses the air mattress 10. Specifically, the pressure change amount calculating unit 19 calculates the pressure change amount of the air pocket unit 11 using the pressure measurement value measured in real time by the pressure sensor unit 14 during the sleeping time.

For example, the pressure change amount may be a difference between an initial pressure measurement value initially set by the set value or the user information, and a change pressure measurement value by which the pressure of the air pocket 110 is changed. Specifically, when the pressure change amount calculating section 19 calculates the pressure change amount at intervals of one hour, the pressure change amount calculating section 19 may be a difference between the initial pressure measurement value and the change pressure measurement value. For example, the amount of pressure change at T2 time can be obtained by subtracting the initial pressure measurement value from the change pressure measurement value at T2 time. Similarly, the pressure change amount at time T3 can be obtained by subtracting the initial pressure measurement value from the change pressure measurement value at T3.

Alternatively, the pressure change amount may be obtained by a difference between the change pressure measurement values that change at intervals of one hour. For example, the amount of pressure change up to T2 time, one hour after T1 time, can be calculated by subtracting the pressure measurement value at T1 from the pressure measurement value at T1.

The pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20 calculates a pressure adjustment amount for positioning the pressure of the air pocket unit 11 within the optimum air pocket pressure range according to the user through the calculated pressure change amount. For example, the pressure adjustment amount calculating unit 20 may calculate the pressure adjustment amount for each zone in which the user feels comfortable according to the sleeping posture of the user.

Here, the optimum air pocket pressure range may range from a predetermined lower limit value to a predetermined upper limit value of the pressure determined by the set value and the user information.

The pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20 can calculate the pressure adjustment amount such that the pressure of the air pocket 110 in the zone becomes lower than the predetermined upper limit value in the zone where the pressure change amount among the plurality of zones is higher than the predetermined upper limit value. In addition, the pressure adjustment amount can be calculated so that the pressure of the air pocket 110 in the zone becomes higher than the predetermined lower limit value in the zone where the pressure change amount among the plurality of zones is lowered below the predetermined lower limit value.

In this manner, the mattress control unit 13 can adjust the air in the air pocket 110 according to the pressure adjustment amount calculated by the pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20.

Specifically, the mattress control unit 13 is configured to discharge the air in the air pocket 110 according to the pressure adjustment amount calculated by the pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20, in a region where the pressure change amount among the plurality of zones is higher than a predetermined upper limit value Can be controlled. Further, it is possible to control the air to be supplied to the air pocket 110 according to the pressure adjustment amount calculated by the pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20, in a region where the pressure change amount among the plurality of zones is lowered to a predetermined lower limit value or less.

For example, depending on the posture of the user, a difference in pressure applied to each zone of the air mattress 10 may occur. For example, if the load of the user is concentrated in the third zone 11-3 and the pressure in the third zone 11-3 becomes higher than the predetermined upper limit value, air in the air pocket 110 of the zone is discharged The pressure in the third zone 11-3 can be adjusted to be lower than a predetermined upper limit value.

The custom pressure calculating section 21 can measure the load of the user's zone according to the initial pressure measurement value measured by the pressure sensor section 14 when the user is lying on the air mattress 10. [ The pressure adjustment amount according to the user can be calculated according to the user information or the measured load value of each zone. For example, when the user is lying down, the pressure of the air pocket 110 according to the user's body is measured based on the initial pressure measurement value by measuring the load applied to the area and the load applied to the area, Can be obtained. Accordingly, the pressure of the air pocket 110 can be adjusted according to the body of the user.

The microphones 22 and the snoring determination unit 23 can determine whether the user's snoring is present.

The microphone 22 can measure the noise around the air mattress 10 during the use time of the air mattress 10.

The snoring determination unit 23 determines the snoring value of the air pocket 110 during the predetermined time range T4 based on the noise detection time point T3 when the noise is detected in the microphone 22, By checking the average change amount, it is possible to detect whether or not the user has snoring.

Specifically, when noise is detected in the microphone 22, when the average change amount of the pressure change amount calculated during the predetermined range time T4 from the noise detection time T3 is within the predetermined range D, And if the average change amount is less than or greater than the predetermined range D, it can be recognized as external noise.

12 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

12, the server 50 may include a server control unit 51, a server communication unit 52, a server memory unit 53, a sleep pattern analyzing unit 54, and a sleep quality analyzing unit 55 .

The server 50 receives the measurement data from the air mattress 10 and analyzes the sleep pattern and the sleep quality of the user and transmits the analysis result to the user terminal 30.

The server control unit 51 can control the server 50 by controlling the server communication unit 52, the server memory unit 53, the sleep pattern analyzing unit 54 and the sleep quality analyzing unit 55. [

The server communication unit 52 can communicate with the air mattress 10 and the user terminal 30. Specifically, the measurement data is received from the air mattress 10, and the analyzed sleep pattern information and sleep quality information can be transmitted to the user terminal 30.

The server memory unit 53 stores user measurement data, sleep pattern information, and sleep quality information for each user.

The sleeping pattern analyzing unit 54 can analyze the sleeping time and the sleeping position based on the measurement data. Specifically, the sleep time analysis can calculate the daily sleep time, the weekly average sleep time, and the monthly average sleep time based on the sleep time data transmitted from the sleep time measuring unit 18.

In addition, the sleeping pattern analyzing unit 54 can measure each zone where the pressure is increased by the pressure sensor unit 16 to judge and analyze the sleeping posture of the user. For example, if the amount of pressure change in the first zone 11-1 is greater than the amount of change in another zone, it can be determined that the user is lying sideways. When the user lies down, the load is applied to the first section 11-1 of the shoulder portion relatively and the load is less applied to the second section 11-2 of the waist portion.

Further, when the pressure change amount in the third zone 11-3 is larger than the pressure change amount in the other zone, it can be determined that the user lies down with his or her back. If a load is applied to the entirety of the third area (11-3) where the buttocks are located, it can be grasped that the user is lying straight.

In addition, as the load is applied to the first zone 11-1 and the second zone 11-2, or the load is applied to the second zone 11-2 and the third zone 11-3, If the load is applied to the area, it may be judged that the user is crouching.

As described above, the attitude of the user can be grasped according to the distribution of loads according to the zones. Accordingly, the sleep pattern analyzing unit 54 can analyze the main sleeping position and the sleeping position time taken by the user during the sleeping time.

Specifically, during the sleeping time of the user, the sleeping posture of the user including the sitting position, the lying position, the crouching posture, and the like lying on the side lying posture or the like is ascertained through the pressure change of the air pockets 110 . In addition, it is possible to grasp the respective posture holding times and to analyze the main sleeping posture and the time by the sleeping posture, which the user mainly takes during the sleeping time.

The sleep quality analyzer 55 divides a user's sleep state into a deep sleep state, a shallow sleep state, and a wake state, judges and analyzes the sleep state based on measurement data, and scores the sleep quality.

The sleep quality analyzer 55 determines that the user is in a deep sleep state (NREM sleep: nonrapid eye movement sleep) when the average change amount of the pressure change amount in the entire region of the air pocket 110 It can be judged. Further, when the average change amount of the pressure change amount in the entire area of the air pocket unit 11 is the predetermined range B, the user can judge that the sleep state is rapid (REM sleep). Further, when the average variation amount of the pressure change amount in the entire area of the air pocket unit 11 is the predetermined range C, it is possible to determine that the user is awake.

That is, the sleep quality analyzer 55 assigns a score to each of the ranges A, B, and C according to the average change amount of the pressure change amount in the entire area of the air pocket unit 11, calculates the average value according to the sleep time, Can be scored. Specifically, in the case of the predetermined range A, the score "a" is given. In the case of the predetermined range B, the score b is given. In the predetermined range C, the score c can be given.

For example, when the average change amount of the pressure is less than 10%, the sleep quality analysis unit 55 determines that the sleep state is a deep sleep state. If the average change amount of the pressure is more than 10% and less than 30% , And when the average change amount of the pressure is more than 30%, it can be judged that it is awake. In the case of deep sleep, 10 points are given. In the case of shallow sleep, 5 points are given. In the awake state, 1 point can be given. In this manner, a score can be assigned to each step, the score of each state according to time can be summed, and the sleep quality score can be calculated by dividing by the total time.

FIG. 13 illustrates a process of scoring sleep quality according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13A is a graph showing the pressure change rate with time to score sleep quality according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13B shows a formula for scoring sleep quality according to FIG. 13A.

13A and 13B, the sleep quality analyzer 55 shows an average variation amount of the pressure change amount in the entire area of the air pocket unit 11 measured by the pressure change rate measuring unit 19 with time. For example, an average change in pressure can be expressed at intervals of one hour.

13A is a graph showing, for example, a pressure change rate of the air pocket unit 11 measured during the sleeping time, taking an example that the user's sleeping time is from 12:00 am to 9:00 am.

It can be judged that the user is awake since the average change amount of the pressure exceeds the preset range C from 12:00 to 2:00 when the user starts to sleep.

Between 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock, the average change amount of the pressure is within the predetermined range B, so that it can be determined that the user is in a shallow sleep state.

Thereafter, it can be determined that the user is in a deep sleep state since the average change amount of the pressure is within the predetermined range A between 3 o'clock and 7 o'clock.

In the period between 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock, when the average change of the pressure gradually increases from the preset range B to C, it can be seen that the user gradually breaks in the sleep state.

In summary, the average time of measurement of the pressure change in the predetermined range A is 4 hours from 3:00 to 7:00, and the measured time in the preset range B is 3:00 to 1:00, and 7:00 to 8:00 And the time measured in the preset range C is 2 hours, from 12:00 to 1:00 and from 8:00 to 9:00.

By assigning scores a, b, and c to each of the preset ranges A, B, and C, the sleep quality can be scored. It gives a high score in deep sleep state, a low score in awake state, and an intermediate score in shallow sleep state.

FIG. 13B shows the sleep quality score through the score given to the predetermined range.

Referring to FIG. 13B, the average score of sleep quality can be obtained by multiplying the score corresponding to each sleep state and the time for which each sleep state is maintained, and divided by the total time.

For example, a score a of a deep sleep state measured within a predetermined range A is multiplied by 4 hours of deep sleep time, a score b of a deep sleep state measured within a predetermined range B is multiplied by 3 hours of deep sleep time, Multiply the deep sleep state score c measured in range C and 2 hours of deep sleep time. After that, the total score can be calculated by dividing the total sleep time, which is 9 hours.

The predetermined range A is given 10 points, the predetermined range B is given 5 points, and the predetermined range C can be given 1 point. In this case, in the case of FIG. 13B, the sleep quality can be scored by dividing the sum of (10x5), (5x3), and (1x2) by 9, which is the total sleep time.

FIG. 14A shows a setting screen of a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 14B shows a screen of a sleep quality score of a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a screen for analyzing a sleep pattern of a user terminal according to an example.

However, the present invention is not limited to the user setting the sleeping time, and may be set automatically in accordance with the use time of the air mattress 10 of the user.

Through the user information input menu (x4), the user can input the physical condition of the user including the key, the weight, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 14B, the smart mattress system 1 including the air pillow can provide the user with a sleep quality score through the user terminal 30. The total score is displayed so that the user can check their sleep quality, and a graph of the user's sleep state over time is displayed. Also, total sleep time, deep sleep state sleep time, shallow sleep state sleep state, and sleep state sleep state can be displayed.

Referring to FIG. 14C, a smart mattress system 1 including an air pillow is provided with a user's sleep pattern through a user terminal 30. The total sleep time can be displayed and the time can be displayed for each sleeping position so that the user can check their sleep patterns. For example, it is possible to display the time according to the user's posture, such as lying on the back, lying on the side, crouching and lying down. Based on this, it is possible to display the attitude of the user who has been maintained for the most time in the main sleeping position.

The first supply line 741 may connect the first nozzle 721 of the first air cell 72a and the pillow valve 73 and the second supply line 742 may connect the second nozzle 722 of the second air cell 72b, (722) and the pillow valve (73). In other words, when the pillow valve 73 is opened, the air supplied from the air supply unit 74 can be supplied to the first air cell 72a through the first supply line 741. [ The air supplied from the air supply unit 74 may be supplied to the second air cell 72b through the second supply line 742. [

The pillow pressure sensor unit 75 can measure the pressure of the air cell 72. The pillow pressure sensor unit 75 can measure the pressure of the air cell 72 and measure the pressure of the first air cell 72a and the pressure of the second air cell 72b, respectively. The pillow pressure sensor unit 75 may be provided inside the pillow valve 73. One pillow pressure sensor portion 75 is connected to the first supply line 741 and the second supply line 742 in the pillow valve 73 so that the first supply line 741 and the second The pressure of each of the supply lines 742 can be measured. Accordingly, the pillow pressure sensor unit 75 can measure the pressures of the first air cell 72a and the second air cell 72b, respectively.

The pillow communication unit 76 can communicate with the mattress communication unit 16, the user terminal 30 and the server 50 of the air mattress 10 to transmit and receive data. Specifically, the pillow communication unit 76 may receive the set value or the user information from the user terminal 30. [ In addition, the pillow communication unit 76 can receive the sleeping posture of the user according to the pressure measurement value measured in the air mattress 10 from the mattress communication unit 16.

The pillow control unit 77 is disposed inside the cover 71 to adjust the pressure of the air cell 72. The pillow controller 77 may adjust the pressure of the air cell 72 according to the initial setting value received from the user terminal 30. [ The pillow control unit 77 controls the air supply unit 74 and the pillow valve 73 to control the pressure of the air cell 72 according to the sleeping posture of the user received from the mattress communication unit 16 by the pillow communication unit 76 Can be adjusted. For example, when it is determined that the pressure change amount of the third zone 11-3 where the hip is located in the air mattress 10 is larger than the pressure change amount of the other zone, it can be judged that the user lies down with his or her back. If the user is lying on his / her back, the height of the second air cell 72b at the neck portion can be increased to maintain a comfortable sleeping posture for the user. The pillow control unit 77 supplies air to the second air cell 72b when it is determined that the user has laid his / her back on the measured pressure measured value transmitted from the mattress communication unit 16 of the air mattress 10 And the pressure of the second air cell 72b can be increased.

Conversely, when it is determined that the pressure change amount of the first zone 11-1 measured by the air mattress 10 is larger than the pressure change amount of the other zone, and the user is judged to be lying sideways, the pillow control unit 77 The pressure of the first air cell 72a can be increased by supplying air to the first air cell 72a where the user's head is located.

Therefore, the air pillow 70 can adjust the pressure according to the user's sleeping posture, thereby providing a comfortable sleep for the user.

17 is a plan view showing an air pillow according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 17, the air pillow 70 may include a plurality of air cells 72.

Similarly, the second air cell 72b may include the second -1 air cell 72b-1 to the second 2-5 air cell 72b-5. That is, a plurality of air cells 72b-1, 72b-2, ..., 72b-n may be formed in the neck region of the user.

18 to 22 are flowcharts illustrating an operation method of a smart mattress system including an air pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention.

18 to 22, the smart mattress system 1 including the air pillow is configured such that the air mattress 10 and the air pillow 70 are set from the user terminal 30, including the initial pressure value, Value or user information including the user's body information (step S100).

The mattress control unit 13 and the pillow control unit 77 respectively adjust the pressure of the air pocket 110 of the air mattress 10 and the pressure of the air cell 72 of the air pillow 70 according to the received set value or user information, (S200). ≪ / RTI >

The initial pressure adjusting step S200 may include an air mattress initial pressure adjusting step S210 and an air pillow initial pressure adjusting step S220.

The air mattress initial pressure adjusting step S210 may adjust the initial pressure of the air mattress 10 on the basis of the set value or user information transmitted in the information receiving step S100. For example, when the user sets the initial pressure value of the air mattress 10 to 50 Pa through the user terminal 30, the pressure value of the air mattress 10 in the initial pressure adjusting step (S210) Can be adjusted.

On the other hand, the user can input the pressure range for setting the strength of the air mattress 10 to the user terminal 30. For example, the pressure control range may be from 1 pa to 100 pa. This can be divided into 5 ranges. The first range with the lowest pressure range is from 1 pa to 20 pa. Sequentially, the second range is from 21 pa to 40 pa, the third range is from 41 pa to 60 pa, the fourth range is from 61 pa to 80 pa, and finally the fifth range is from 81 pa to 100 pa. The first range is the lowest pressure range, and the strength of the air mattress 10 is low. Therefore, the air mattress 10 having a fluffy appearance can be realized. Conversely, the fifth range is the range where the pressure range is the highest, and the strength of the air mattress 10 is high, and a rigid air mattress 10 can be realized.

The air pressure initial pressure adjusting step 220 may adjust the initial pressure of the air pillow 70 based on the set value or the user information received in the information receiving step S100 as in the initial air pressure adjusting step S210 .

A pressure measuring step S300 for measuring the pressure of the air pocket 110 and the pressure of the air cell 72 varying in accordance with the user's motion in real time through the mattress pressure sensor part 14 and the pillow pressure sensor part 75 .

The pressure measuring step S300 may include a mattress pressure measuring step S310 and a pillow pressure measuring step S320.

In the mattress pressure measurement step S310, the pressure of the air pocket 110 changing in real time through the pressure sensor unit 14 can be measured. At this time, the pressure sensor unit 14 can measure the pressure of the air pocket 110 in each of the zones in the air pocket unit 11.

In the pillow pressure measuring step (S320), the pressure of the air cell 72 changing in real time through the pillow pressure sensor unit 75 can be measured. However, the pillow pressure sensor unit 75 may measure the pressure of the at least one air cell 72 formed in the air pillow 70, respectively. For example, when two air cells 72 are formed, the pressure of each of the two air cells 72 can be measured. In other words, in the pillow pressure measurement step (S320), the pressures of the first air cell 72a and the second air cell 72b can be measured in real time through the pillow pressure sensor unit 75.

And a pressure change amount calculating step S400 for calculating the pressure change amount of the air pocket 110 through the pressure change amount calculating unit 19 using the pressure measurement value measured in real time in the pressure measuring step S300 . More specifically, the pressure change amount calculating section 19 calculates the pressure change amount of the air pocket 110 through the air pocket 110 pressure measurement value of the air mattress 10 measured in real time in the mattress pressure measuring step S310 can do.

After the pressure change amount calculation step S400, the sleep state determination step S410 and the sleep state determination step S420 may be performed.

In the sleeping posture determination step S410, the sleeping posture of the user can be determined based on the pressure change amount of the air pocket 110 calculated in the pressure change amount calculation step S400. As described above, the air mattress 10 includes a plurality of air mattresses 10 including a first zone 11-1, a second zone 11-2, a third zone 11-3 and a fourth zone 11-4. And the user's sleeping posture can be determined according to the pressure change amount of each zone. For example, when the pressure change amount in the first zone 11-1 is larger than the pressure change amount in the other zone, If it is larger than the change amount, it can be judged as the lying posture with the back.

The sleep state determination step S420 may determine whether the sleep state of use is a deep sleep state (NREM sleep) or a shallow sleep state (REM sleep) based on the average change amount of the pressure change amount calculated in the pressure change amount calculation step S400 have.

The mattress control unit 13 in the sleep state determination step S420 determines whether the average change amount of the pressure change amount of the air pocket 110 calculated in the pressure change amount calculation step S400 is within the preset range A, NREM sleep). Further, the mattress control unit 13 can determine that the user is in a shallow sleep state (REM sleep) when the average change amount of the pressure change amount of the air pocket 110 is the predetermined range B.

And a pressure adjustment amount calculation step S500 for calculating the pressure adjustment amounts of the air pocket 110 and the air cell 72 based on the pressure change amounts calculated through the pressure adjustment amount calculation unit 20. [

The pressure adjustment amount calculation step S500 may include a mattress pressure adjustment amount calculation step S510 and a pillow pressure adjustment amount calculation step S520.

In the pressure adjustment amount calculation step S500, the pressure adjustment amount may be determined according to the sleeping attitude determined in the sleeping attitude determination step S410

The mattress pressure adjustment amount calculation step S510 may calculate the pressure adjustment amount of the air pocket 110 according to the user's sleeping attitude determined in the sleeping attitude determination step S410.

For example, when it is determined that the user lies on his back, the load of the user may be concentrated in the third zone 11-3 so that the pressure in the third zone 11-3 may be higher than the predetermined upper limit value. In this case, the pressure adjustment amount can be calculated so that the pressure of the air pocket 110 in the third zone 11-3 becomes lower than the predetermined upper limit value.

The pillow pressure adjustment amount calculation step S520 may calculate the pressure adjustment amount of the air cell 72 according to the sleeping posture determined by the sleeping state determination step S410.

For example, when it is determined that the user is lying sideways, a load is further applied to the first air cell 72a located at the head portion of the user, and the load is applied to the second air cell 72b located at the user's neck The load may be less. Accordingly, air can be introduced into the first air cell 72a located at the head portion of the user and air can be discharged from the second air cell 72b located at the neck portion of the user. Alternatively, air can be introduced into the first air cell 72a by reducing the air inflow amount of the second air cell 72b compared to the air inflow amount. Therefore, when the user is lying sideways, pressure can be prevented from being applied to the neck. In other words, the air inflow amount and the air discharge amount can be determined according to the load applied to the first air cell 72a and the second air cell 72b.

And a pressure adjusting step S600 for controlling the pressures of the air pocket 110 and the air cell 72 according to the pressure adjusting amount calculated by the pressure adjusting amount calculating unit 20, respectively.

The pressure adjusting step S600 may include a mattress pressure adjusting step S610 and a pillow pressure adjusting step S620. For example, the pressure adjusting step S600 may adjust the pressure according to the sleeping posture determined in the sleeping posture determining step S410.

The mattress pressure adjusting step S610 may adjust the pressure of the air pocket 110 according to the pressure adjusting amount calculated in the mattress pressure adjusting amount calculating step S510.

The pillow pressure adjusting step S620 may adjust the pressure of the air cell 72 according to the pressure adjusting amount calculated in the pillow pressure adjusting amount calculating step S520.

As described above, if it is determined in step S410 that the user is lying sideways, the pillow control unit 77 of the air pillow 70 is operated to determine whether the first air cell 72a located in the head portion of the user Air can be controlled to flow. When the user judges that the user is lying on his back in the sleeping posture determination step S410, the pillow control unit 77 of the air pillow 70 causes the second air cell 72b located at the user's neck to air So that it can be controlled.

The server 50 receives the measurement data including the pressure measurement value, the pressure change amount, the sleeping time, and the pressure adjustment amount for each zone in the air mattress 10, and analyzes the sleep pattern and the sleep quality of the user (S700).

The sleeping information analysis step S700 may include a sleeping pattern analysis step S710 for analyzing the sleeping position and the sleeping time based on the measurement data transmitted from the air mattress 10 by the server 50. [

In the sleep pattern analysis step S710, each zone where the pressure is increased by the pressure sensor unit 16 is measured through the sleep pattern analyzing unit 54 to determine the user's sleeping posture, 1) is larger than the amount of change in the other zones, it can be determined that the user is lying sideways. Further, when the pressure change amount in the third zone 11-3 is larger than the pressure change amount in the other zone, it can be determined that the user lies down with his or her back. It is possible to provide the user with the sleep pattern information of the user by analyzing the main sleeping position and the time taken by the sleeping attitude which are mainly taken by the user during the sleeping time.

Based on the measurement data transmitted from the air mattress 10 by the server 50, the sleep state of the user is classified into a deep sleep state, a shallow sleep state, and a wake state, and a sleep state is determined based on measurement data , And a sleep quality analysis step (S730) for analyzing sleep quality.

And an information providing step (S800) of transmitting sleep information of the user analyzed by the server 50 to the user terminal 30 and providing sleep information to the user.

And a snoring detection step (S900) for detecting whether or not snoring is occurring, during the sleeping time of the user.

The snoring detection step S900 may include a noise detection step S910, a snoring state confirmation step S920, and a snoring interruption step S930.

In the noise detection step (S910), noise can be detected through the microphone (23).

In the snoring state confirmation step S920, when the noise is detected in the noise detection step S910, the average change amount of the pressure change amount calculated during the predetermined time range T4 from the noise generation time point T3 at which the noise is generated is within a predetermined range D of the snoring.

The snoring state is recognized when the average change amount of the pressure change amount is within the preset range D and the external noise can be recognized if the average change amount of the pressure change amount is less than or greater than the preset range D.

The predetermined range D may be a range where the user can judge that the bed is being used and at the same time the sleeping state. The minimum value of the predetermined range D can be determined by the minimum load applied when the user uses the bed. When the pressure change amount is lower than the minimum value of the predetermined range D, the user may not use the mattress. Therefore, the sound sensed by the microphone 23 when the user is not using the mattress can be recognized as external noise.

The maximum value of the predetermined range D can be determined by the amount of pressure change when the user moves to the maximum in the sleep state. When the pressure change amount exceeds the maximum value of the predetermined range D, the user may use the mattress in a wakeful state rather than a sleeping state. Therefore, the noise detected by the microphone 23 when the pressure change amount exceeds the predetermined range D can be recognized as external noise. For example, in the case where there is a lot of movement of the user, the detected noise can be judged as an external noise such as a TV sound, a user's conversation sound, etc., rather than a user's snoring sound.

For example, the predetermined range D may include a preset range A determined to be a deep sleep condition (NREM sleep) and a predetermined range B determined to be a shallow sleep condition (REM sleep).

If it is determined in step S930 that the user is snoring in the snoring state (S930), the air pocket 110 or the air cell 72 is repeatedly inflated with air to release vibration to the user , The snoring can be stopped by changing the user's deep sleep state (NREM sleep) to the shallow sleep state (REM sleep). For example, in the snoring interruption step S930, it can be determined that the user is in a deep sleep state (NREM sleep) when the average amount of change in the amount of pressure change in the entire area of the air pocket 110 is the predetermined range A . As described above, when the average change amount of the pressure change amount in the entire area of the air pocket 110 is the preset range B, it can be determined that the user is in a shallow sleep state (REM sleep).

And an alarm step (S1000) for waking up the sleep state of the user when the user sets an alarm.

The alarm step S1000 may include an alarm setting confirmation step S1010, a sleep state checking step S1020, a sleep state switching step S1030, and an alarm generating step S1040.

In the alarm setting confirmation step (S1010), it is possible to confirm whether or not the user has set an alarm in the setting value information receiving step (S100).

If the alarm setting is confirmed in the alarm setting step (S1010), the sleep state is checked from the alarm time to the predetermined sleep time (T5) from the sleep state determining step (S430) (NREM sleep) or a shallow sleep state (REM sleep).

In the sleep state switching step S1030, if the user's sleep state determined in the sleep state checking step S1020 is a deep sleep state (NREM sleep), the air pocket 110 is operated before the predetermined alarm time T5 from the alarm time. Or the air cell 72 to regulate the user's sleep state from a deep sleep state (NREM sleep) to a shallow sleep state (REM sleep). Specifically, the sleep state switching step S1030 may include a vibration generating step 1031 and a stretching generating step S1032.

The vibration generating step S1031 repeats the air inflow and air exhaust of the air pocket 110 or the air cell 72 to change the user's deep sleep state (NREM sleep) to a shallow sleep state (REM sleep) Vibration can be applied. Concretely, the air in the plurality of air pockets 110 may be repeatedly introduced and discharged at the same time, or the air of the plurality of air cells 72 may be repeatedly introduced and discharged at the same time to generate vibration.

Alternatively, the user may include a stretching step (S1032) for changing a user's deep sleep state (NREM sleep) to a shallow sleep state (REM sleep). Stretch generation step S1032 may cause air inflow and outflow of air pockets 110 to flow in and out between the zones in a contrasting manner to cause stretching of the user's body. Alternatively, the air inflow and air exhaust of the air cell 72 can be inflow and outflowed in a plurality of cells, respectively.

The alarm generating step S1040 may generate an alarm at the alarm time instant received in the set value information receiving step S100 after the sleep state of the user is switched to the shallow sleep state (REM sleep).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the user is in a shallow sleep state (REM sleep) in the sleep state checking step (S 1020), the sleep state switching step (S 1030) may be bypassed. Therefore, if it is determined that the user is in the shallow sleep state (REM sleep), the alarm can be generated at the predetermined alarm time T5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if it is determined that the user is in a shallow sleep state (REM sleep), the sleep state switching step S1030 may be followed by the alarm generating step S1040.

When the measured pressure value measured by the pressure sensor unit 14 of the air mattress 10 becomes zero, it is determined that the user has finished using the air mattress 10, and the smart mattress system 1 including the air pillow, May be interrupted.

However, even though the above operation is performed, if the pressure is continuously measured in the air mattress 10, it may be repeated from the set value information receiving step (S100), which is the first step again.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, . Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be determined by equivalents to the appended claims, as well as the appended claims.
