1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the operation of an electronic device for a sleep time shift of a user according to various embodiments of the present invention.

The electronic device 101 according to various embodiments of the present invention can control a light source included in the electronic device 101 or a light source included in the light irradiation device 120 to move the user's sleep time through phototherapy have. The user can perform phototherapy to move the sleeping time using the electronic device 101 when the sleeping time has to be shifted according to travel or work schedule.

In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, electronic device 101 may generate an optical therapy schedule that includes information about at least one of the intensity of light irradiated to a user or the time of irradiation of light, have. Here, the intensity of the light may indicate the brightness of the light emitted from the light source reflecting the brightness of the light emitted from the light source or the distance to the user. The irradiation time of the light may indicate the duration of the light irradiated to the user for phototherapy.

The electronic device 101 transmits information about the weather time of the user received from the sensor of the electronic device 101 or the external electronic device 101 so that the user's weathering time can be shifted to the target weathering time by a preset target date Can be used to generate an optical therapy schedule. Hereinafter, the use of the user's weather time for the movement of the user's sleep time is described below. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the user's elevation time and the center time of the user's weather time may be used. For example, if the center time of the elevation time and the center time are advanced by 30 minutes, it can be determined that the user's sleep time has been shifted by 30 minutes.

The external electronic device 110 may include various sensors for sensing the user's biometric information used to determine the wake-up time of the user. The external electronic device 110 may be a wearable electronic device comprised of a wearable form (e.g., a watch, a lining, a ring, a bracelet, a bracelet, a necklace, a garment, a bio- (E.g., a bed, a pillow, etc.), and the like.

The electronic device 101 may control a light source included in the electronic device 101 or a light source included in the light irradiation device 120 according to the generated light therapy schedule. For example, the electronic device 101 may generate a command for controlling a light source, such as a light irradiation command, a light blocking command, etc., based on information about at least one of an intensity of light included in the light therapy schedule or an irradiation time of light have.

The electronic device 101 controls the light source of the electronic apparatus 101 in accordance with the generated command or controls the light source of the light irradiation apparatus 120 by transmitting a light irradiation command or light blocking command to the light irradiation apparatus 120 . The light irradiation device 120 is an electronic device including a light source, and can control the light source in accordance with a control command received from the electronic device 101. [ For example, the light irradiating device may be an electronic device including a light source such as a lighting device, an electronic device including a display, a wearable device such as an HMD (Head Mounted Display), wearable glasses, and the like.

According to the generated light source control command, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiation device 120 can control the light source so as to irradiate light corresponding to the intensity of the light included in the light therapy schedule or the light irradiation time have. For example, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 can control the intensity of the light irradiated from the light source, the wavelength of the light, the irradiation time of the light, etc. so as to correspond to the light intensity or the irradiation time of the light. A specific method by which the electronic device 101 or the light irradiation device 120 controls the light source will be described later.

As described above, the user can perform phototherapy according to the phototherapy schedule generated by the electronic device 101 without having to generate a phototherapy schedule directly for sleep time shift, All the electronic devices including the light source as well as the light source of the apparatus 101 can be used, so that the phototherapy can be performed more conveniently and efficiently.

2 is a flow diagram of a method of controlling a light source for a user's sleep time shift in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

In step 211, the electronic device 101 can generate a light therapy schedule so that the user's meteorological time can be adjusted to the target meteorological time by a preset target date. The light therapy schedule may be generated using information on the target date, the target weather time and the weather time, and may include information on at least one of the intensity of the light irradiated to the user or the irradiation time of the light irradiated to the user. In addition, the phototherapy schedule may further include information as to the time at which the phototherapy is performed, for example, the time at which light is irradiated to the user for phototherapy. The wake-up time of the user may be obtained through a sensor included in the electronic device 101 or may be obtained in accordance with information on the user's wake-up time received from the external electronic device 110, though not shown.

The electronic device 101 can generate a light therapy schedule based on the history when there is a history of creating an existing light therapy schedule for the user. On the other hand, when the electronic device 101 has no history of creating a phototherapy schedule for the user, the electronic device 101 determines the phototherapy schedule based on the information about the relationship between the amount of light stored in the memory of the electronic device 101 and the meteorological visual- Can be generated. The information on the relationship between the amount of light and the gaseous-phase-adjustment amount is information on the amount of movement of the gaseous phase adjusted when light is irradiated with a specific amount of light, and may include information on the amount of movement of the gaseous phase adjusted according to various amounts of light .

Information on the relationship between the initial light amount and the wake-up visual movement amount can be generated and stored in the memory based on statistics or experiments on the relationship between the general light amount and the user's wake-up visual movement amount. Here, the light amount can represent the total amount of light irradiated from the light source. Thus, since the amount of light can be expressed based on the intensity of light and the irradiation time of light, the intensity of light and the irradiation time of light can be determined so that light of a specific amount of light is irradiated. Information on the relationship between the amount of light and the wake-up visual movement amount can be updated by the electronic device 101 to match the characteristics of the user.

In step 212, the electronic device 101 may generate a control signal including an instruction to control the light source according to the generated light therapy schedule, and may transmit the generated control signal to the light irradiation apparatus 120. Further, although not shown, the electronic device 101 may control a light source included in the electronic device 101 according to an instruction to control the light source. The control signal may include information on at least one of the intensity of the light irradiated to the user or the irradiation time of the light.

The electronic device 101 can transmit the control signal to the light irradiation apparatus 120 when the time for performing the phototherapy according to the phototherapy schedule comes. For example, when advancing the user's wake-up time, a control signal for blocking light is transmitted to the light irradiating device 120 before the user approaches the wake-up time based on the wakeup time of the user, To the light irradiating device 120. The light irradiating device 120 may be a light emitting device. In the case of delaying the user's wake-up time, a control signal for irradiating light is transmitted to the light irradiation device 120 before the user enters the room, and after the user wakes up, 120). Accordingly, the time for the electronic device 101 to transmit the control signal for controlling the light source to the light irradiating device 120 may be different each time the light therapy is performed.

In step 213, the light irradiating device 120 may control the light source included in the light irradiating device 120 according to an instruction included in the received control signal. For example, the light irradiating device 120 can control at least one of the intensity of the light irradiated through the light source or the irradiation time of the light.

In step 214, the external electronic device 110 may sense information for determining a user's weather time, such as biometric information of a user or motion information of a user through various sensors. In step 215, the external electronic device 110 determines whether or not the user wakes up from the sleep state according to the sensed information, and can determine the user's waking time when the user wakes up from the sleep state. In step 216, the external electronic device 110 may transmit to the electronic device 101 information about the determined weather of the user.

In step 217, the electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedule according to the information about the user's weather time, which is received from the external electronic device 110. [ The electronic device 101 can correct the light therapy schedule in accordance with the characteristics of the user according to the information about the weather time of the user to be received. Also, though not shown, the electronic device 101 may directly acquire information about the user's wake-up time through the sensor of the electronic device 101 and may use it to correct the phototherapy schedule. In addition, in the step of correcting the light therapy schedule, the electronic device 101 may update the information about the relationship between the light amount and the meteorological visual movement amount to match the characteristics of the user.

In step 218, the electronic device 101 may generate a control signal including an instruction to control the light source in accordance with the corrected light therapy schedule, and may transmit the generated control signal to the light irradiation apparatus 120. In step 219, the light irradiating device 120 may control the light source included in the light irradiating device 120 according to an instruction included in the received control signal.

3 is a flow chart of a method for generating an optical therapy schedule for sleep time shift by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

In step 310, the electronic device 101 can acquire the weathering time of the user. The wake-up time of the user can be obtained according to a sensor included in the electronic device 101, a sensor included in the external electronic device 110, or a user's input, as a point in time when the user is awakened from the sleep state.

For example, the user can input his or her waking-up time into the electronic device 101 through the input / output interface. In addition, the user's waking-up time may be obtained according to the biometric information of the user or the motion information of the user, which is sensed by the sensor included in the electronic device 101. [ In addition, the external electronic device 110 determines the user's weathering time according to the user's biometric information or the user's movement information sensed through the sensor of the external electronic device 110, (101). The electronic device 101 can acquire the weathering time of the user through the information on the received weathering time. The user's wake-up time can be used to determine whether to create an optical therapy schedule or to move the user's sleeping time.

The user's motion information used to determine the user's waking-up time can be obtained through an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or the like included in the external electronic device 110. [ Table 1 shows a sensor for sensing biometric information and biometric information of a user used to determine whether the user wakes up from a sleeping state.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and information about the user such as various biometric information and degree of motion that can be sensed can be used to determine whether or not the user wakes up from a sleep state

Biometric information sensor Biometric information content Heartbeat Electrocardiograph (ECG) sensor Variation of heart rate and heart rate variability Breath Pressure sensor Respiratory rate, volume EEG Electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor α wave, θ wave content Sweating, body temperature Temperature and Humidity Sensor Foot volume, deep body temperature change Eye movement Safety EOG Sensor Content of low frequency components Blinking eyes camera Camera opening, eye blinking count, closed eye time

Further, the external electronic device 110 includes a piezoelectric sensor, and may be disposed at a position where the user takes sleep, such as a bed or a pillow. The external electronic device 110 can determine whether the user is in a lying state or in a sleeping state in order to take a sleep through the piezoelectric sensor.

In addition, the external electronic device 110 may determine whether or not the user wakes up from the sleeping according to an input, such as touching the external electronic device 110, by a user waking up from the sleeping surface.

Thus, the external electronic device 110 can determine whether the user has awakened from the sleep state, and can transmit the information about the user's weathering time to the electronic device 101 according to the determination result.

In step 320, the electronic device 101 calculates a wake-up time movement amount per light irradiation count (hereinafter referred to as " wake-up time count ") in order to move the user's wakeup time to the target wakeup time on the basis of the date of obtaining the user's wakeup time, Can be determined. The electronic device 101 can determine the number of times the light is irradiated according to the date on which the weathering time is obtained and the target date. The electronic device 101 can determine the waking-up-time moving amount per number of times of light irradiation in order to move the user's waking-up time to the target waking-up time according to the number of times of irradiation of the determined light. The gaseous phase shift amount per light irradiation count may be determined in the same manner or may be determined differently depending on the number of irradiation times of light.

In one embodiment, the electronic device 101 includes a user input received via the input / output interface of the electronic device 101, user's schedule information stored in the memory of the electronic device 101, The target date and the target weather time can be set based on at least one of the schedule information of the user received from the external electronic device via the network. Here, the target wake-up time indicates the final wakeup time at which the user's wakeup time is to be moved through phototherapy, and the target date can indicate the date when the wakeup time of the user is to be moved to the target wakeup time.

The target date and target weather time may be manually set according to the input of the user or automatically set according to schedule information stored in the electronic device 101 or received from an external electronic device. Here, the schedule information may include all schedule information related to the schedule of the user such as schedule information managed through the schedule management application, schedule information managed through the travel application, and the like.

For example, the electronic device 101 refers to the purchase history of the user's ticket or the travel itinerary entered by the user, compares the time of flight of the user and the time zone of the place where the user travels with the time zone of the current location, can do. Accordingly, the electronic device 101 can automatically set the target date and the target weather time based on the obtained time difference and travel departure date. In addition, the electronic device 101 acquires information indicating a shift work schedule input by the user, and determines the shift time of the user based on the work change date and the work change time through the information, The target weather time can be automatically set. As described above, the information used for setting the target date and the target weather time can be directly entered by the user, acquired through the information stored in the electronic device 101, or acquired via the external electronic device.

In step 330, the electronic device 101 may determine at least one of the intensity of the light to be irradiated to the user or the irradiation time of the light, in order to move the user's wake-up time by the wake-up time movement amount per determined number of times of light irradiation.

There is a difference in the circadian rhythm, which is a constant cycle of sleep and awakening, and the sensitivity to light may be different. Therefore, even if light is irradiated with light of the same intensity with the same light cycle time, the amount of the meteorological visual movement may be different for each person. Accordingly, when there is a history in which the user performs the phototherapy using the electronic device 101, the electronic device 101 determines the intensity of the light irradiated to the user in accordance with the characteristics of the user according to the history of performing the phototherapy Or the irradiation time of the light.

On the other hand, when the user does not have a history of performing the phototherapy using the electronic device 101, the electronic device 101 determines whether the amount of light stored in the memory of the electronic device 101 At least one of the intensity of light or the irradiation time of light can be determined. Information on the relationship between the amount of light and the wake-up visual movement amount can be generated based on statistics or experiments on the relationship between the general light amount and the user's wake-up visual movement amount and stored in the memory of the electronic device 101. Also, in the step of determining at least one of the intensity of light or the time of irradiation of light, the electronic device 101 uses the information about the relationship between the amount of light stored in the memory and the amount of weather-phase shift, It is possible to update information on the relationship between the light amount and the weather-phase visual movement amount. The electronic device 101 can correct at least one of the light intensity or the light irradiation time determined according to the information on the relationship between the updated light amount and the wake-up visual movement amount to correct the light therapy schedule to suit the characteristics of the user.

4 is a flow chart of a method for determining a meteorological-time adjustment amount per light-irradiation frequency by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

In step 410, the electronic device 101 may determine the number of times the light is irradiated to the user to move the user's metering time to the target meteorological time up to the target date. For example, when light is irradiated once a day to move the user's weathering time, the number of times of light irradiation may be determined by the difference between the date of acquisition of the user's weathering time and the target date.

For example, if the target date is November 27 and the first weather time is obtained on November 23, the number of times of light irradiation may be determined to be four. When the light is irradiated two times a day in order to adjust the user's wake-up time, the number of light irradiation times may be determined by multiplying the difference between the date obtained by acquiring the first weathering time and the target date by two. For example, when the target date is Nov. 27 and the date when the first weather time is obtained is November 23, the number of times of light irradiation may be determined to be eight.

In this manner, the electronic device 101 can determine the number of times of irradiation of light to be irradiated to the user in accordance with the difference between the date when the weather-warding time of the user is obtained and the target date and the number of lights to be irradiated per day. The number of times of light to be irradiated per day may be set according to the characteristics of the user according to the phototherapy performance history and may be set according to the input of the user.

In step 420, the electronic device 101 can calculate the difference between the user's meteorological time and the target meteorological time. The electronic device 101 can calculate the difference between the user's meteorological time and the target meteorological time to confirm the amount of the meteorological time to be moved from the date of acquisition of the user's meteorological time to the target date.

In step 430, the electronic device 101 can determine the gas phase shift amount per light irradiation frequency according to the difference between the gas phase time of the user and the target gas phase time calculated in step 420 and the light irradiation frequency determined in step 410. For example, when the number of light irradiation times is four and the difference between the user's wake-up time and the target wakeup time is two hours, the electronic device 101 can determine the wake-up time movement amount per light irradiation count to be 30 minutes. The gaseous phase shift amount per light irradiation count may be set to be the same for each light irradiation count or may be set differently for each light irradiation count. For example, the gas-phase visual movement amount through the first irradiated light is determined to be 40 minutes, the gas-phase visual movement amount through the second irradiated light is determined to be 20 minutes, the gas-phase visual movement amount through the third irradiated light is determined to be 50 Minute and the vapor phase shift amount through the fourth irradiated light can be determined to be 10 minutes.

5 is a flow diagram of a method for determining at least one of an intensity of light irradiated to a user or an irradiation time of light by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

The electronic device 101 may correct at least one of the intensity of the light determined according to the wake-up time of the user or the irradiation time of the light obtained in the process of performing the phototherapy. Hereinafter, a method of correcting at least one of the intensity of light or the irradiation time of light determined according to the wake-up time of the user obtained in the course of performing the optical therapy will be described.

In step 510, the electronic device 101 obtains a wake-up time (hereinafter referred to as " wake-up time ") of the acquired wake-up time of the user (hereinafter referred to as first wakeup time) and the wakeup time of the user stored in the memory of the electronic device 101 The second wake-up time). The electronic device 101 can confirm the moving amount of the moving user by the light irradiated to the user by calculating the difference between the first waking-up time and the second waking-up time.

In step 520, the electronic device 101 can update the information about the relationship between the amount of light stored in the memory of the electronic device 101 and the weather-phase visual movement amount in accordance with the difference between the calculated first and second wake-up times . As described above, the information on the relationship between the amount of light initially stored in the memory and the wake-up visual movement amount can be generated based on statistics or experiments on the relationship between the general light amount and the user's wake-up visual movement amount. Accordingly, the electronic device 101 can update the information about the relationship between the amount of light and the wake-up visual movement amount to match the characteristics of the user. Even if the information about the relationship between the amount of light and the moving distance of the visual observation has been updated so as to conform to the characteristics of the user, the electronic device 101 can calculate the relationship between the amount of light and the moving distance of the weather, Information can be updated.

In step 530, the electronic device 101 may determine at least one of the intensity of the light irradiated to the user or the irradiation time of the light according to the information on the relationship between the updated light amount and the wake-up visual movement amount. In this manner, the electronic device 101 can be made to perform phototherapy appropriate to the characteristics of the user.

6A and 6B are conceptual diagrams illustrating a light therapy schedule generated by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 may generate a light therapy schedule so that the user's current wake-up time can be adjusted to a target wake-up time by a preset target date. The light therapy schedules generated by the electronic device 101 may be conceptually represented as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B.

Hereinafter, phototherapy is performed three times from the optical therapy execution DAY 1 to the target date DAY 4, the target wakeup time is set to 11:00 according to the target sleeping time 604, The estimated sleeping time 601 of the first day DAY 1 is assumed to be from 9:00 to 17:00 and the estimated sleeping time 601 of the first day DAY 1 may be set based on the obtained weathering time of the user. The light therapy is performed once a day, and the information about the relationship between the amount of light stored in advance and the wake-up visual movement amount is the intensity of the first light when the light is irradiated with the first light amount, It is assumed that the wake-up time is set to be moved for 2 hours. It is also assumed that the meteorological time shift amount per light irradiation count is the same. Accordingly, the number of light irradiation times is determined to be three, and the meteorological time movement amount per light irradiation number can be determined to be two hours.

In one embodiment, in order to advance the sleeping time, it is effective to irradiate light to the user within a predetermined time after the user wakes up, and to block the light to the user within a predetermined time before the user is faced. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a time period for irradiating light according to at least one of the intensity of light or the time of irradiation of light included in the optical therapy schedule generated to advance or retard the user's sleeping time is referred to as a light irradiation period, Is referred to as a light blocking period. However, in the light shielding period, the light irradiated to the user may be completely blocked, or the light may be irradiated at a light amount less than a predetermined threshold value when the light irradiated to the user is hard to be completely blocked. The threshold in the light intercept interval may be set based on experiment or statistics with a quantity of light that can provide the same effect as blocking light for a user ' s sleep time shift.

The length of the light irradiation interval and the light interception interval may be determined according to the moving amount of the user's waking motion or may be determined according to the input of the user. In addition, the light irradiation period and the light blocking period may be set to a time other than before or after the entrance time according to a user's input or a user's life pattern learned in the electronic device 101. [ For example, the electronic device 101 can derive the allowance time according to the life pattern of the user to be learned, and set at least one of the light irradiation interval or the light interruption interval for the optical treatment from the derived excess time.

Accordingly, the first light irradiation period 611 is set after the first expected sleep time 601, and the second light irradiation period 612 and the third light irradiation period 613 are set after the first and second estimated irradiation times 601, May be set after the sleep time 602, 603. The first light blocking period 621 is set before the first expected sleep time 601 and the second light blocking period 622 and the third light blocking period 623 are set before the first and second expected sleep times 601, And may be set before the sleep time 602, 603. However, since the sleep time of the actual user can not be accurately predicted, the first light blocking period 621 may be set based on a time when the user sleeps on the average.

Although not shown, it may be effective to delay the sleeping time by irradiating light to the user within a preset time before the entrance time, and blocking the light to the user within a predetermined time after the user wakes up. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment for advancing the sleeping time. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and even when the sleeping time is delayed, the sleeping time is advanced only by the position of the light- The remaining steps can be performed in the same manner.

In one embodiment, when the electronic device 101 enters a predetermined light blocking period or a light irradiation period, the light source of the electronic device 101 or the light source of the light irradiation device 120 Sound, voice, message, or the like to the user in the light blocking period or the light irradiation period.

The second-order estimated sleeping time 602 and the third-time estimated sleeping time 603 can be set based on the first-order estimated sleeping time 601 in accordance with the waking-up-time moving amount per determined light irradiation frequency. For example, the second-day anticipated sleeping time 602 is set to be from 7 o'clock to 14 o'clock two hours ahead of the first-expected sleeping time 601, and the third-day anticipated sleeping time 603 is set to the first- 601) from 5 o'clock to 12 o'clock that advances four hours.

In one embodiment, the intensity of the light irradiated in the light irradiation sections 611, 612, and 613 and the irradiation time of the light are determined as the intensity of the first light in accordance with the information about the relationship between the amount of light stored in advance and the gaseous phase shift amount, The time can be determined to be one hour.

As described above, the electronic device 101 may generate an optical therapy schedule for moving the user's meteorological time to the target meteorological time to the target date.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedules generated according to the characteristics of the user. Referring to FIG. 6B, after the user takes a sleep on the first day of the car according to the light therapy schedule generated as shown in FIG. 6A and then wakes up, the electronic device 101 gives a user a first light irradiation interval 611 It is possible to control the light source of the electronic device 101 or the light source of the light irradiation device 120 so that the light is irradiated for one hour at the intensity of one light. When the information on the relationship between the light amount and the vapor phase shift amount is not updated in accordance with the characteristics of the user, the intensity of the first light determined according to the information on the relationship between the light amount and the vapor phase shift amount, The user's wake-up time may not be shifted by an expected amount. Since the physical characteristics such as sensitivity to light and cyclic rhythm may be different depending on the user, information on the relationship between the amount of light set in accordance with a general standard and the moving speed of the visual field may be optically treated to suit the characteristics of the user I can not.

Accordingly, the phototherapy schedule needs to be corrected to match the characteristics of the user. To this end, the electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedule using the first meteorological time acquired in accordance with the actual sleeping time of the user on the second day. The electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedule in accordance with the acquired first meteorological time prior to acquiring the first meteorological time and irradiating light to the user in the second lighted section 612. [ As such, the electronic device 101 may verify that the light therapy schedule is appropriate for the user prior to illuminating the light to the user, maintain the light therapy schedule as is, or correct the light therapy schedule . Hereinafter, the case where the electronic device 101 corrects the optical therapy schedule will be described.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 can determine again the meteorological-speed movement amount per the number of times of irradiation of the light irradiated to the user based on the date of acquiring the first meteorological time, the target date and the target meteorological time. As shown in FIG. 6B, in the light treatment schedule, light was irradiated for one hour at the intensity of the first light in the first light irradiation period 611 of the first day (DAY 1) in order to advance the user's wake-up time by two hours, In the second day (DAY 2), the user's wake-up time is advanced by one hour, and the first wake-up time can be 16:00.

Accordingly, the electronic device 101 can correct the light therapy schedule based on the first waking-up time. For example, the electronic device 101 can again determine the meteorological time adjustment amount per light irradiation count in order to move the first meteorological time to the target meteorological time 11 o'clock. Since one light irradiation is performed in the first light irradiation period 611, the number of light irradiation times remaining until the target date can be two. Accordingly, the meteorological-time adjustment amount per light irradiation frequency may be determined to be equal to 2 hours and 30 minutes for each light irradiation frequency, and is different from 3 hours for the second day and 2 hours for the third day, as shown in FIG. 6B May be determined. In the following, it is assumed that the meteorological visual movement amount per light irradiation count is determined to be 3 hours in the second day and 2 hours in the third day.

The electronic device 101 calculates the intensity and the light intensity of the light irradiated to the user based on the difference between the gaseous phase shift amount per the determined light irradiation number and the first wake-up time and the second wake-up time, which is the wake-up time in the first day (DAY 1) At least one of the irradiation times can be determined again. The electronic device 101 updates the information about the relationship between the amount of light and the amount of the weather visual movement to suit the user based on the result that the user's weather time is one hour earlier as a result of irradiating light for one hour at the intensity of the first light .

The electronic device 101 determines that the light intensity is higher than the intensity of the first light so as to accelerate the user's wake-up time in the second light irradiation period 612 by 3 hours, according to the information on the relationship between the updated light amount and the wake- The intensity of the light irradiated to the user can be determined again so that the light is irradiated for one hour at the intensity of the third light which is tripled. Further, the electronic device 101 may again determine the irradiation time of the light so that the light is irradiated for three hours at the intensity of the first light. In addition, the electronic device 101 can determine both the intensity of light and the irradiation time of the light so that the light is irradiated for 1.5 hours at the intensity of the second light whose intensity is twice the intensity of the first light. As described above, the electronic device 101 is able to obtain information about the relationship between the amount of light and the amount of weather-phase movement, based on the result of the user's weather time being one hour earlier as a result of irradiating light for one hour at the intensity of the first light And determine at least one of the light amount of the light irradiated to the user or the irradiation time according to the updated information.

For convenience of explanation, the relationship between the intensity of light and the irradiation time of light is inversely related to the irradiation of light at a specific amount of light, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The relationship between the intensity of the light for irradiating light at a specific light quantity and the irradiation time of the light can be determined by actual experimental results or statistical data.

Further, the electronic device 101 may adjust the number of light irradiation times to move the user's wake-up time to the target wake-up time. For example, the electronic device 101 may determine again at least one of the light intensity or the light irradiation time, as described above, and perform phototherapy also on the target date DAY4 to determine the next day of the target date DAY4 The optical treatment schedule may be corrected so that the user's meteorological time is shifted to the target meteorological time by the fifth day DAY5.

As described above, the electronic device 101 may correct the phototherapy schedule to move the user's meteorological time according to the characteristics of the user. Through this, the electronic device 101 can allow the user to perform phototherapy appropriate to the characteristics of the user.

7 is a flow diagram of a method for determining at least one of an intensity of light irradiated to a user or an irradiation time of light by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

7, a description will be given of how the electronic device 101 determines whether or not the optical treatment schedule is corrected according to the user's meteorological time acquired during the phototherapy according to the generated phototherapy schedule . Since the electronic device 101 determines that the optical treatment schedule is corrected and the optical treatment schedule is corrected in the same manner as described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step 710, the electronic device 101 may compare the meteorological time of the user to be obtained with the expected meteorological time. The predicted weathering time may be a meteorological time of the user expected to be moved when the light is irradiated for a specific time with the intensity of light determined according to information on the relationship between the amount of light stored in the electronic device 101 and the wake-up visual movement amount.

In step 720, the electronic device 101 can determine whether the difference between the user's wake-up time and the expected wake-up time is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value. The threshold value may be set in consideration of an error occurring in the step of acquiring the user's wake-up time.

In step 730, the electronic device 101 can update and store information about the relationship between the amount of light and the moving distance of the weather, when the difference between the weather-view time and the predicted weather-time of the user is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

In step 740, the electronic device 101 can again determine at least one of the intensity of light or the time of irradiating the light to the user according to the information about the relationship between the updated light amount and the wake-up visual movement amount.

In step 750, the electronic device 101 can maintain the current light intensity and the irradiation time of the light as it is when the difference between the wake-up time of the user and the expected wake-up time is less than the threshold value.

8A and 8B are flow charts of a method of correcting a light therapy schedule according to a user ' s biometric information associated with sleep by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedule in accordance with the user ' s biometric information as well as the user ' s characteristics. 8A and 8B, a description will be given of a method by which the electronic device 101 corrects the phototherapy schedule according to the biometric information of the user related to the surface of the water.

In step 810, the electronic device 101 can calculate the meteorological visual movement amount of the actually moved user by the light irradiated according to the light therapy schedule according to the weathering time of the user to be acquired. 8B, the electronic device 101 compares the wake-up time 870 of the user obtained at the current date with the wake-up time 860 of the most recently obtained user, Can be calculated. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the actual moving user's weather time is 2 hours.

In step 820, the electronic device 101 can acquire biometric information related to the user's sleeping surface. Biometric information related to the user's sleeping surface may be as shown in Table 1. The electronic device 101 may acquire biometric information related to sleeping through a sensor of the electronic device 101 and may receive biometric information related to sleeping from the external electronic device 110. [

In step 830, the electronic device 101 may determine whether the physical symptoms of the user appearing due to the inability to sufficiently take the sleep surface by using the bio-information related to the acquired user's sleeping surface. The electronic device 101 can determine whether or not a physical symptom that occurs due to insufficient sleeping, such as feeling drowsy or fatigued even when the user is awake from the water surface, using the biometric information related to the water surface.

In step 840, when the occurrence of the physical symptom of the user, which is caused by the inability to sufficiently take the sleep surface, continues for more than a certain frequency or for a predetermined period of time, the electronic device 101 corrects the meteorological visual movement amount of the actually moved user calculated in step 810 can do. The electronic device 101 can judge that the user's physical appearance time has not been completely moved if the user's physical symptoms appearing due to insufficient sleeping are not generated temporarily but are continued for more than a certain frequency or for a certain period of time. Therefore, the electronic device 101 can correct the wake-up time movement amount of the actually moved user calculated in step 810. [

For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the electronic device 101 can determine whether a physical symptom of a user, which is caused by failure to sufficiently take a sleep surface according to biological information associated with a user's sleep surface, is generated. The electronic device 101 can correct the actual weathering visual movement amount of the user to one hour instead of two hours when the physical symptom of the identified user lasts more than a certain frequency or for a certain period of time. Accordingly, the electronic device 101 can correct the wake-up time 870 of the obtained user of the user for one hour as the wake up time 871 of the user.

In addition, in one embodiment, the electronic device 101 can determine the amount of correction of the user's weathering time according to the degree of the physical symptoms. The electronic device 101 may classify the degree of physical symptoms according to the frequency or duration of the physical symptoms. The electronic device 101 can confirm the occurrence frequency or duration of the physical symptom according to the user's biometric information related to the obtained sleep surface and determine the degree of the physical symptom according to the confirmation result. The electronic device 101 can determine the weather correction amount of the user according to the degree of the determined physical symptom. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the electronic device 101 determines that the degree of the physical symptom is low, instead of determining that the correction amount of the weather-phase time is uniformly set to one hour, 30 minutes, or if the degree of physical symptoms is high, the weather correction amount may be determined to be 1 hour and 30 minutes.

In step 850, the electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedule according to the meteorological visual movement amount corrected in step 840. The electronic device 101 can recalculate the vapor phase visual movement amount to be adjusted up to the target vapor phase time in accordance with the corrected vapor phase visual movement amount and correct the optical therapy schedule according to the recalculated weather phase movement amount. A concrete method of correcting the light therapy schedule is the same as the light therapy schedule generation and correction method described above, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

9 is a flowchart of a method for correcting a phototherapy schedule according to a user's biometric information by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 can correct the light therapy schedule by canceling or changing the scheduled light therapy schedule according to the user's characteristics as well as the user's biometric information obtained. 9, a description will be given of a method for the electronic device 101 to correct the optical therapy schedule by canceling or changing a predetermined optical treatment schedule according to the user's biometric information.

In step 910, the electronic device 101 may acquire biometric information (e.g., body temperature, drug prescription record, etc.) related to the user's physical condition. The electronic device 101 may acquire biometric information related to the user's physical condition through the sensor of the electronic device 101 and may receive biometric information related to the user's physical condition from the external electronic device 110. [

In step 920, the electronic device 101 may determine whether a change in the user's physical condition has occurred using the biometric information associated with the acquired user's physical condition. The electronic device 101 can determine whether a change in the user's physical condition has occurred by comparing the information related to the user's physical condition stored in the memory of the electronic device 101 with the biometric information associated with the user's physical condition .

In step 930, when the occurrence frequency of the user's physical condition changes is more than a certain frequency, or the change in the user's physical condition lasts for a predetermined time or longer, the electronic device 101 schedules the light therapy scheduled on the current date according to the light therapy schedule You can cancel. In addition, the electronic device 101 may cancel the phototherapy schedule scheduled for the current date according to the phototherapy schedule at the request of the user. Through this, it is possible to prevent the user from forcibly performing the phototherapy.

In step 940, the electronic device 101 may correct the light therapy schedule to adjust the user's wake-up time to the target wake-up time until the target date, as the light therapy schedule scheduled for the current date is canceled in step 930. [ A concrete method of correcting the light therapy schedule is the same as the light therapy schedule generation and correction method described above, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

10 illustrates an electronic device that displays a phototherapy notification in accordance with a weather visualization result of a user according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 senses information for determining a user's weather time, such as biometric information of a user, motion information of a user, etc., obtained through a sensor, and monitors the user's weather time . Also, the electronic device 101 may monitor the user's weathering time according to the information about the weathering time of the user through the external electronic device 110. [

The electronic device 101 can determine whether the monitored weather time of the monitored user differs by more than a predetermined threshold value from the weather time of the user or the average weather time of the average user. The electronic device 101 may determine the monitored weather of the user to be monitored as an abnormal weather time if the monitored weather time of the user is different from the average weather time of the user by a predetermined threshold or more. The electronic device 101 can provide the user with a phototherapy notification indicating that phototherapy is necessary if the abnormal weather time is more than a certain number of days. In addition, the electronic device 101 may generate an optical therapy schedule for moving the abnormal weather time to the user's average weather time, upon receiving an input for generating an optical treatment schedule from the user by providing the optical treatment notification to the user have. In addition, the electronic device 101 may provide an optotherapy notification to a user and may also generate a phototherapy schedule without receiving a separate input. The concrete method for generating the light therapy schedule is the same as the light therapy schedule generation method described above, so that a separate explanation will be omitted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the electronic device 101 may provide the user with a phototherapy notification 1020 three days after the date of occurrence of the abnormal weather time, if the abnormal weather time persists for more than three days. The phototherapy notification 1020 may be displayed in the form of a message as shown in FIG. 10, or may be outputted through a voice. In addition, the electronic device 101 may provide a phototherapy notification 1020 and may display the weathering time change pattern as a graph 1010 so that the user may be aware of the wakeup time change. When the electronic device 101 receives a user input that touches the "Settings" menu included in the phototherapy notification 1020, it may generate an optical therapy schedule for moving the abnormal weather time to the user's average weather time .

11 is a view for explaining a method of controlling a light source of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 may control the light source of the electronic device 101 according to the generated light therapy schedule so that the light is irradiated to the user.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11A, the light source may emit light at the first light irradiation angle (? ₁ ) 1110 such that light is irradiated over the entire space in which the user is located. However, in this case, since the electronic device 101 can affect other persons located in the same space as the user, the electronic device 101 can control the light source so that the light is focused on the user by adjusting the light irradiation angle.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the electronic device 101 can track the user's gaze through a photographing module (for example, a camera or the like) included in the electronic device 101. 11 (c), the electronic device 101 changes the light irradiation angle to the second light irradiation angle (? ₁ ) 1110 so that light can be concentrated on the user's binocular 1120, The light irradiation angle? ₂ (1111) can be adjusted. 11 (d), when the electronic device 101 includes a refracting lens, the electronic device 101 is irradiated with the light while maintaining the angle of the light at the first light irradiation angle? ₁ (1110) , The refraction lens may be adjusted so that light can be focused on the user ' s binocular 1120. [

11 (e), the electronic device 101 can control the light source so that light can be concentrated in the user's binocular 1120, instead of emitting light to the entire space in which the user is located. Accordingly, the user can perform phototherapy through the electronic device 101 without worrying about the influence on the other person. Also, the electronic device 101 may control the light irradiation angle of the light source as described above in order to increase the light intensity by concentrating the light to the user in the light irradiation period.

12 is a view for explaining a method in which light irradiation devices are controlled according to the position of a user by an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 can determine the location of the user in the building and determine the light irradiating device to illuminate the user with the location of the identified user.

12, the electronic device 101 confirms that the user is located in the first space 1210 in the building, and controls the first light irradiation device located in the first space 1210 to irradiate light to the user Can be determined by the irradiation device.

The electronic device 101 can control the light source of the first light irradiation device by transmitting the control signal to the first light irradiation device.

In addition, when the user moves from the first space 1210 to the second space 1211 in the building, the electronic device 101 confirms the movement of the user, Can be determined as a light irradiation device for irradiating light to the user. The electronic device 101 includes an instruction to control the light source of the second light irradiation apparatus based on information on at least one of the intensity of the light included in the light therapy schedule generated by the second light irradiation apparatus or the irradiation time of the light A control signal can be transmitted. The electronic device 101 can control the light source of the second light irradiation device by transmitting the control signal to the second light irradiation device.

In addition, the electronic device 101 learns the moving pattern of the user in the building according to the location of the user in the building, and even if the position of the user is not separately checked according to the moving pattern in the building of the learned user, . For example, the electronic device 101 learns a route that the user mainly travels before taking a sleep or after waking up, and even if the location of the user is not separately identified according to the travel path of the learned user, It is possible to control the light irradiating devices located.

Thus, even if the user moves without staying in one place for phototherapy, the electronic device 101 controls the light sources of the light irradiation control devices to continuously irradiate the light to the user, But may not be limited.

13A and 13B are views for explaining a light source control method by an electronic apparatus or a light irradiation apparatus according to various embodiments of the present invention.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiation device 120 may control the light source according to the light source control command generated according to the light therapy schedule. The electronic device 101 or the light irradiation device 120 can control the light source based on the characteristics of the light source control command and the device.

For example, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 adjusts the brightness of the display to correspond to the intensity of the light included in the light therapy schedule in accordance with the light irradiation command in the light irradiation period, The driving time can be adjusted so as to correspond to the irradiation time of the light. In the light blocking period, the brightness and the driving time of the display may be adjusted or the display may not be driven to correspond to the amount of light that can provide the same effect as the light is blocked for moving the user's sleeping time according to the light blocking command.

In one embodiment, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 may recommend or display the selected image content (e.g., image, video or game, etc.) to the user based on the light source control command. The electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 can search the memory or the server of the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 for an image corresponding to the light source control command. For example, as shown in FIG. 13A, in the light irradiation period, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 may have a brightness of a predetermined threshold value or more The first image can be selected. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 can select a second image having a brightness lower than a predetermined second threshold according to a light cutoff command in the light blocking period. Here, the first threshold may be set to correspond to the intensity of the light contained in the light therapy schedule, and the second threshold may be set to correspond to the amount of light that can give the effect of blocking light for the user ' Can be set based on experiments or statistics.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 can select at least one image considering a specific color among a plurality of images stored in the memory. For example, in the light irradiation period, the electronic device 101 or the light irradiating device 120 selects images including a lot of first colors (e.g., at least one of blue or green) among a plurality of images stored in the memory .
