Description

Technical field

The invention relates to the field of human life. It can be used in medicine, in the service sector, in everyday life and so on. in order to gently interrupt sleep.

The main object of application of the invention is household alarms designed for daily waking up, mainly for personal use.

State of the art

For a long time, people have been deprived of the opportunity to wake up following the biological rhythms of their body. The always unexpected alarm signal is another stress that starts a busy day.

Statistics say that more than 60% of the able-bodied urban population involuntarily sleeps “in a nervous waiting mode”. Rest is accompanied by periodic awakenings in the middle of the night - is it still possible to sleep, or is it time to get up - and constant anxiety - how to have time to sleep and not oversleep. The result - irritability, and maybe a headache - are not the best companions of man.

Setting the task of creating comfortable conditions for sleeping and waking up, the author of this application patented the invention: an alarm clock with a new function - a color indication of time. An indicator with a variable glow color was added to a normal alarm clock.

So, for example, all night this indicator glows in a pleasant green color. Some time before waking up (the user sets it himself), for example, in half an hour, the color of the indicator starts to change smoothly in accordance with the spectrum from green to yellow. Then, as it approaches the set wake-up time (the moment the alarm sounds), the color of the indicator changes from yellow to orange and, finally, from orange to red.

When a user wakes up in the middle of the night, a soft color display allows him to instantly assess the time before waking up - no need to turn on the light, look for glasses, perform calculations, do not even open his eyes to the end. It is enough that the alarm clock is somewhere in sight.

So, almost all night (for example, seven and a half hours out of eight) the alarm clock glows green. The green color, which can be easily recognized even “through a dream”, having barely glanced towards the alarm clock, means that you can continue to sleep peacefully. Yellow color will indicate that soon (in half an hour) the planned rise, so it's time to decide: to sleep further or to slowly get up. A red light means that it is time to get up or, if you decide to sleep for a while, turn off the alarm, which will soon be heard.

So, it is known a device (RF Patent No. 2183345), designed for final awakening from sleep, made with the possibility of setting the preferred waking moment (in the indicated source, such a moment is designated as the moment of waking up), including a functional block of time counting (in the specified source such a block is implemented , for example, based on a microprocessor, traditional clock, alarm clock, timer or personal computer), and a signal function block mechanically and / or electrically associated with it (in the indicated source ke such unit is designed to provide an audible alarm). This device is selected by the author as a prototype.

The main disadvantage of the prototype is the requirement to turn off the alarm if a decision is made to refuse the final awakening. Appropriate manipulations with the controls of the alarm clock can finally wake a user who does not want to.

Also known is a device (NOKIA 3210 User's Guide, HANSAPRINT SALO, 150384, 2000, p. 60) with a function of the final awakening from sleep, configured to set a preferred waking moment, including a time counting function block and a signal signal block associated with it.

The main disadvantage of such a device is the same as the prototype.

Information confirming the possibility of carrying out inventions

The alarm clock intended for final awakening from sleep, in which the claimed distinctive features are implemented, can be arranged as follows.

It should have a governing body designed to set the preferred moment of awakening - the moment that the user perceives neutrally (not critical). Such a control may be, for example, a button-chopper or an adjustment resistor, or otherwise.

It should be noted that such a governing body is today on every alarm clock. Each alarm allows you to set a preferred wake-up moment, leaving the user the ability to turn off the alarm before or after the alarm goes off and fall back into sleep.

The main electronic element of an alarm clock can be a microprocessor that controls the entire operation of the alarm clock. In particular, successive pressing of various buttons or one button with different durations, being processed by a microprocessor, will allow you to set the required alarm modes.

The microprocessor can be connected to a storage device in which the settings entered by the user can be stored - the alarm settings. The storage device may be implemented on the basis of non-volatile memory. Such memory may also store other information.

The composition of the discussed alarm clock should include a time unit. Currently, such a unit, based on a chip, is included in every electronic alarm clock. Mechanical and electromechanical time units are also widely used.

A signal unit must be connected mechanically and / or electrically to the time unit. In modern electronic alarms, the role of such a unit is played by radio or television receivers, sound reproducing equipment, etc .; in mechanical - mechanical calls; in electromechanical - electric buzzers and so on.

It is essential that the discussed alarm clock must additionally include, mechanically (by means of a mechanical shutter or lock) and / or electrically (by means of an electric cable or wiring or cable and shutter), a block for estimating the mobility of the object of awakening connected with at least one of the mentioned blocks.

The main part of all blocks can be included in the microprocessor. In this case, the communication between the blocks can be implemented on the basis of the topology of such a microprocessor, to which signals from the control elements of the alarm clock come through the conductive tracks of the printed circuit board.

In another embodiment, the evaluation unit may be electrically coupled to the microprocessor, or mechanically to the signal unit, or mechanically to the signal unit, and electrically to the microprocessor. Other options are possible.

To perform its function, the evaluation unit must contain at least one motion sensor or vibration, or changes in the geometry of the location in the space of the object of awakening. Currently, these sensors are widely used in security systems.

A distinctive feature of the alarm sensor is that it must be lightweight, compact, shockproof and with the possibility of its location at a close distance from the object of awakening.

Preferred is the location of the sensor at a distance not exceeding 3 m from the object of awakening.

In some cases, the sensor must remain operable when it is located at a distance of up to 20 m.

Various sensors can be used in the alarm clock, and the sensors do not have to be located in the alarm case - they can be moved outside of the alarm clock. In this case, the alarm clock should have a corresponding connector, infrared port, etc.

The evaluation unit must be configured to delay the response of the signal for a time corresponding to the interval specified in the range from 0.00 to 10.00 hours.

Hereinafter, the indicated tasks — parameter settings — can be performed both by the user himself by accessing the alarm controls and by the manufacturer of the latter, for example, by setting the microprocessor program or “sewing” non-volatile memory, or by selecting the values of the used radio components.

A good delay is 20 ... 40 minutes.

Also, the delay can be carried out until the specified average value for a time less than 60 minutes is established of the frequency of the change in the mobility of the object of awakening, despite the fact that such a value should exceed by more than 1% the value of the minimum average frequency recorded according to the sensor for a given time preceding the preferred time exceeding 10 s.

A good result is achieved when averaging is carried out in 10 minutes and an excess of more than 10 times is required.

Also, a good result is achieved when averaging is performed in 1 or 3 minutes, and for a given average value of the frequency, the establishment of which is expected (or simply - which is expected), 1/60 Hz is taken.

Experience shows that the optimal result is achieved when the delay is set to the time, which corresponds to the following condition

where t is a parameter numerically equal to the delay time expressed in hours;

π is the number "pi" (3.14 ...);

d is a parameter numerically equal to the time of day expressed in hours;

and - parameter, numerically equal to the age of the object of awakening, expressed in hours.

The evaluation unit may also be configured to advance the relatively preferred waking moment by a predetermined time of not more than 60 minutes, turn on the signal after the average for less than 60 minutes the value of the frequency of change in the mobility of the object of awakening exceeds by more than 1% the value of the minimum average frequency recorded according to the sensor for a specified time preceding the preferred moment in excess of 10 s (from the moment the expected signal is triggered).

A good result is achieved when the mentioned advance does not exceed 30, and in some cases 15 minutes.

The alarm clock can also be executed with the possibility of setting, in the same way as described above, the moment of constant awakening, after which the signal blocking will be automatically turned off.

It is assumed that to turn off the signal when setting the moment of indispensable awakening, the user will need to take actions that require the inclusion of abstract thinking. So, for example, you need to sum up the numbers that display the current time on a digital display, and make sequential presses with the specified interval on the alarm control, the number of which should equal the amount received. Other options are possible.

The signal unit may be configured to reproduce an audio (audio) signal, in particular, an amplified background audio signal occurring in a region of the location of said object. In the latter case, the alarm clock should include a microphone and a high-quality speaker system. Possible options. Under the background can mean a signal that occurred at the time of awakening, and can be understood as a signal that took place once before. A good result is achieved when a casual conversation of two or more persons is used as the background sound signal, which took place earlier in the presence of the object of awakening or in other circumstances.

The signal unit can be configured to reproduce an optical (in particular, video) signal, for example, an amplified (in terms of brightness and, preferably, color preservation) background optical signal taking place in the region of the said object. In the latter case, the alarm should turn on the photodetector. In some cases, such a receiver must be multi-element. A good result is achieved when the photodetector is located at the head of the user.

The signal unit can be configured to reproduce a chemical signal, while the device must include a material carrier, for example, a container with walls that are “transparent” to the molecules of the odorous chemical element used. Such a quantum satis container may contain flavorings selected from the list: quinine, gentian, aromatic herbs, spices, agaric acid; aloin; beta asaron; berberine; coumarin; hydrocyanic acid; hypericin; bulletproof; quassin; safrole or isosafrol; santonin; alpha or beta thujone, or any acceptable composition of such substances, or another flavoring that is not on the list. To activate the container, the signal block may include a heating element, for example, made on the basis of thermistors. Other approaches to container activation are possible.

The signal unit may be configured to reproduce a combination of signals of various kinds in different sequences (in random order).

The following sequence is preferable: chemical, sound, optical signals.

A good result is achieved by implementing the following sequence: chemical and simultaneously amplified "background" optical, and then sound signals. In this case, the alarm clock can be configured to play a combination of signals more than 10 seconds, for example, 10 minutes before the preferred moment of awakening or before the estimated or expected (determined by the microprocessor) moment of the signal. It is assumed that the mechanism of awakening by chemical and indicated optical signals is slow.

The signal block can be configured to change over time the intensity of at least one of the signals. So, for example, the brightness of the amplified "background" optical signal can increase gradually with a gradual increase in the average current controlled by the microprocessor and supplying the corresponding playback device, for example, an incandescent lamp.

The evaluation unit may include a capacitive sensor that allows you to evaluate the mutual capacitance of the aforementioned and some reference objects. Such a sensor can be made like an electroscope.

The evaluation unit may include an inductive sensor, which allows to evaluate the inductance of the circuit including the said object, or the induced inductance. Such a sensor should include a coil with an inductance of more than 1 mH.

The evaluation unit may include an optical sensor that allows you to evaluate the change in the structure of the distribution of the reflection coefficient in the region of the location of the said object. Such a sensor may include a raster optical system (for example, a set of cylindrical lenses) and a single or multi-element photodetector.

Also, the evaluation unit may include a vibration sensor, for example, made on the basis of a resonator plate with a natural frequency not exceeding a few Hz, and a corrugated rubber cup with a close natural frequency, the outlet of which is closed by a microphone facing the sensing element inside the cup.

The evaluation unit may include an arbitrary combination of said sensors. For example, a capacitive sensor and a vibration sensor, or a capacitive and optical sensors can be used at the same time, the latter can simultaneously serve as a photodetector that evaluates the "background" illumination, while the vibration sensor can act as a microphone that "picks up" the background sound signal.

Signals from sensors can be monitored continuously. Sensors can also be interrogated periodically, for example, sequentially.

The sensor can be made with a short range of not more than 4 m. For this, the sensor must have a limited sensitivity. A good result in terms of noise immunity is achieved when the range of the sensor does not exceed 2 m. Also, the sensor can be made with a directional pattern of perception, not exceeding 180 °. For this, the sensor must, for example, have screens and hoods. A good result, again in the sense of noise immunity, is achieved when the sensor perception diagram does not exceed several tens of degrees.

Basically, it is precisely these requirements that distinguish alarm sensors from today's widespread alarm sensors - conditions are preferable when the sensor sensitivity zone covers only one waking object. In this case, the requirements for the location of the sensor or alarm should be met, if the sensor is mounted in the latter. This is where the advantages of using a set of sensors are shown, which make it possible, with directional reception, to have a limited coverage area. So, for example, two capacitive sensors can be located aimed at the object of awakening: one to the left and the second to the right of the last. In this case, a signal is considered valid, indicating a change in mutual capacitance, arriving simultaneously from both sensors.

The signal from the sensors can be fed to one or several series-connected amplifiers with a gain greater than 3. A total gain greater than 40 a is preferred. After the amplifier, the signal can be fed to a low-pass filter with an upper transmission limit at a level of 0.5, not exceeding 10 Hz. After the filter, the signal can be detected. After the detector, there can be a storage capacitor with a discharge resistor. The voltage of such a capacitor can be used to judge the frequency of pulses corresponding to the manifestation of mobility by the object of awakening. If the specified voltage exceeds a certain threshold value by means of a comparator, the signal can be triggered. The indicated voltage can also be used as an input signal of a microprocessor, which, depending on the value of such a voltage, can carry out one or another part of the program wired into it.

In the alarm clock, pulse width modulation can be used.

The alarm clock may include a time display element, approximately remaining at least until one of the mentioned points. Such an element can be made on the basis of a liquid crystal display, on which digital information about the time mentioned here can be displayed in the countdown.

The display element may be configured to evaluate the information it presents through peripheral vision. So, for example, such an element can be made on the basis of a multi-color light emitting diode, and the display can be based on color coding of the time remaining before waking up.

Consider the work of the discussed alarm clock.

Suppose that at some point in time the user, turning to the controls of the alarm clock, sets the preferred moment of awakening and the moment of indispensable awakening. The microprocessor saves such moments in the memory of the device. There is a countdown. The alarm block is ready to work out the required program.

The user sets an alarm in the immediate vicinity of the place of sleep, for example, no further than 1 m from the bed.

After the alarm is turned on, one of its displays or in one of the parts of its display displays the time remaining until one of the indicated moments, for example, the moment of preferred waking up, occurs. This time can be displayed, for example, by a color indicator that smoothly changes the color of its glow from blue to red when approaching the preferred moment of awakening.

An alarm sensor or sensors monitor the mobility of an awakening object.

The device can be made in such a way that to any significant change by such an object of its location in space there will correspond a pulse, for example, voltage. One act - one impulse. The number of such pulses per unit time is the frequency of the mobility change.

The alarm clock can evaluate the indicated frequency, calculate its minimum value and compare the current one with it. A good result is achieved when the result of such an assessment is averaged.

An estimate of the current frequency becomes significant as one approaches the preferred waking moment.

So, for example, if the current frequency determined at a point in time preceding the specified time by less than 30 minutes exceeds the minimum by more than 5 times, then the evaluation unit will provide a signal to wake up at the time of the specified excess.

The microphone of the alarm clock perceives the surrounding noise, filters them, highlighting components that are acceptable for playback. The audio amplifier amplifies the background audio signal, and the speaker reproduces it. This ensures a gradual increase in volume until the user wakes up.

Optical signaling can work in a similar way (the role of the microphone will be played by the photodetector, and the role of the speaker system will be lighting equipment).

To connect a chemical alarm, the user first selects the fragrance that suits him and refills them with an alarm clock. Smells that optimally contribute to awakening must be selected individually. At the same time, the fragrance can also be set by the manufacturer of the alarm clock.

As already noted, it is preferable to use a combined signal, one of which has a slow action (for example, a soft chemical signal), and the other is fast (for example, an audio signal).

It should be noted that when the alarm is not located at a certain distance from the user, the chemical signal will naturally increase gradually.

In another case, if the current frequency does not exceed the minimum, for example, more than 3 times, then when the preferred moment of awakening occurs, the evaluation unit will block the signal, delaying it for a specified time or before the current frequency exceeds the minimum more than 5 times.

The alarm clock can be set individually by the user or the main settings can be made by the manufacturer. We are talking, for example, about the excess of the current frequency above the minimum frequency (or above the frequency equal to zero) sufficient for the signal to trigger, the time intervals of the advance operation and the operation delay, etc.

It is possible to execute an alarm clock, in which it automatically tunes itself in as it gathers statistics on the user's mobility. So, for example, having estimated the minimum and maximum frequencies in about 1.5 hours, the evaluation unit will allow the signal to be triggered in the vicinity of 30 minutes from the preferred waking moment only if the frequency is close to the maximum.

It is important to note that in some cases it is not the frequency of mobility change itself that matters, but its dynamics. So, for example, if there is an increase in frequency, then the evaluation unit is more likely to "allow" the signal to be triggered than if it decreases.

In other cases, not the frequency, but the intensity of mobility, i.e. it can be evaluated how significant changes in the location of the object of awakening in space. Then it is estimated not the number of pulses per unit time (or not only the number of pulses per unit time), but their amplitude, as well as in some cases the duration.

Note. When evaluating the number of pulses, the amplifier installed after the sensor should be put into comparator mode, and when evaluating both the number of pulses and their amplitudes, the amplifier should not enter saturation, while when evaluating only the amplitude, the filter should be excluded from the circuit. Other designs are possible, for example, based on a microprocessor.

We give an example. The signals from two capacitive sensors located on both sides of the waking object are fed to a comparison device, which, with sufficient correlation of such signals, generates a pulse whose amplitude corresponds to the amplitude of these signals. Such a pulse is supplied to an amplifier with a gain of 900. A pair of series-connected operational amplifiers can be selected as such an amplifier. The signal after such an amplifier is a sequence of rectangular pulses, the repetition rate of which corresponds to the frequency of changes in the mobility of the object of awakening. Then there can be an analog-to-digital converter or filter, built, for example, on the basis of an operational amplifier, or a frequency to voltage converter, etc. Similarly, you can use inductive and optical sensors, a vibration sensor, as well as all kinds of combinations of various sensors.

When the moment of imminent awakening sets in, the alarm will go off regardless of the operating mode of the evaluation unit.

From the description of the device, it follows that the alarm in question is controlled by the user remotely and non-contact. It is important that the user controls the alarm with unconsciously simple actions, in particular those that occur during sleep.

The alarm clock can be controlled by the user and through deliberate inaction, for example, having determined by the readings of the color indicator that the preferred moment of awakening is occurring (the indicator color may be orange), the user, remaining motionless, can delay the alarm, preferring to continue to sleep or according to other reasons.

And vice versa. Having determined that the preferred moment of awakening is still far away, but wishing to wake up soon, the user can, by exhibiting motor activity, accelerate the response of the signal.

The relationship of the distinguishing features with the claimed technical result is displayed in the table below.

In that which was not reflected in the table, according to the author, the connection of the distinguishing features of the presented invention with the claimed technical result is obvious.

Signs (numbering is given in accordance with paragraphs of the claims) Technical result 1, 14 ... 19 non-contact remote control through simple movements that occur during sleep, as well as control through inaction 1, 3 ... 13, 20, 21 reduction of stress, improving health by creating comfortable conditions for sleeping and waking up 2, 18, 19 elimination of the risk of failure to perform basic functions 1, 22 ... 25 design of structurally simple, compact, easy-to-use, inexpensive devices

Basically, the claimed technical result is of a qualitative nature, not amenable to quantification.
