As illustrated in FIG. 1, the sleep management system 1 according to an exemplary embodiment may include a sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 and sleep data for obtaining data SD (hereinafter referred to as 'sleep data') regarding sleep of a user. The user terminal 200 may acquire information related to the user's sleep (SI) (hereinafter referred to as 'sleep information') based on the SD. In this case, the sleep information may include sleep time information related to the sleep time of the user U and sleep summary information for displaying to the user U.

The sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may collect sleep data SD of the user while the user is sleeping, falling asleep, or waking up. In addition, the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may transmit the sleep data SD of the user to the user terminal 200.

In detail, the sleep data acquisition apparatus 100 may detect a user's heartbeat, respiration, and movement, and may generate sleep data SD corresponding to the user's heartbeat, respiration, and movement. For example, the sleep data acquisition apparatus 100 may detect vibrations caused by a user's heartbeat, a user's breath, and a user's movement, and may generate sleep data SD corresponding to the detected vibration.

In addition, the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may wirelessly transmit the sleep data SD generated every predetermined time to the user terminal 200.

The user terminal 200 receives the sleep data SD of the user from the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100, and sleep state SS of the user or sleep information SI of the user based on the received sleep data SD. Can be obtained.

For example, the user terminal 200 may acquire the sleep state SS of the user U. In detail, the user terminal 200 determines whether the user U has entered the bed B, whether the user U has fallen asleep, whether the user U is sleeping, or while the user U is sleeping. It may be determined whether the user has woken up, whether the user U has fallen asleep again during sleep, whether the user U has completely woken up, and whether the user U has escaped from the dragonfly B.

In addition, the user terminal 200 is based on the sleep state (SS) of the user U based on the current sleep state of the user U when the user enters the bed (B), the time when the user U sleep, The time when the user U changes the sleep stage, the time when the user U wakes up during sleep, the time when the user U sleeps again during sleep, the time when the user U wakes up, and the user U sleeps ( Sleep time information, such as the time out of B) can be obtained.

In addition, the user terminal 200 may process sleep time information of the user U, generate sleep summary information, and display the sleep summary information to the user U. For example, the user terminal 200 may perform a total sleep time, a time to fall asleep, and a number of times awaken during sleep based on the user's sleep data SD. ), Sleep efficiency, deep sleep time, REM sleep time, and Rapid Eye Movement sleep time.

However, the configuration of the sleep management system 1 is not limited to that shown in FIG.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the sleep management system 1 may further include a sleep management server SV together with the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 and the user terminal 200.

The sleep management server SV receives sleep data SD from the user terminal 200 and processes the received sleep data SD to generate a sleep state SS or sleep information SI of the user U. can do. In addition, the sleep management server SV may transmit the sleep state SS or the sleep information SI of the user U to the user terminal 200.

In other words, when the user terminal 200 acquires the sleep data SD from the sleep data acquisition apparatus 100, the sleep management server SV is obtained from the sleep data SD obtained through a wide area network (WAN). And the sleep state SS or the sleep information SI of the user U may be received from the sleep management server SV. In addition, when the sleep state SS of the user U is received from the sleep management server SV, the user terminal 200 may sleep information of the user U based on the sleep state SS of the user U. (SI) can be generated.

In particular, the sleep management server SV may obtain sleep data of a plurality of users from a plurality of user terminals, and process sleep data of each user to generate sleep information of the plurality of users. In this case, the sleep management server SV may manage sleep information of a plurality of users for each user.

Can transmit

In the following, the operation of the sleep management system 1 will be described in more detail using specific examples.

3 illustrates an example of an operation of a sleep management system according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a sleep cycle of a user illustrated in FIG. 3.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may be disposed in the vicinity of the user U who is in the dragonfly B. FIG. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may be disposed under the dragonfly B of the user U. However, the arrangement of the sleep data acquiring device 100 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 3, and the sleep data acquiring device 100 may be located at a position capable of detecting a heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U. Can be posted.

In addition, the user terminal 200 may be disposed near the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the user terminal 2000 may be located on a table T provided near a dragonfly B of the user U. However, the arrangement of the user terminal 200 is illustrated in FIG. Although not limited to 3, the user terminal 200 may be disposed anywhere to receive the sleep data SD from the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user U enters the dragonfly B, the sleep data acquisition device 100 detects the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U entering the dragonfly B, and the user ( Sleep data SD corresponding to the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of U) may be transmitted to the user terminal 200. In addition, the user terminal 200 determines the time when the user U enters the bed B based on the sleep data SD, or the user U enters the bed B through the sleep management server SV. You can judge the time you entered.

For example, before the user U enters the bed B, the sleep data acquisition apparatus 100 may detect vibrations below a reference value caused by the daily life of the user U, but the sleep data acquisition apparatus 100 The vibration below the reference value may be interpreted as meaningless noise and may not transmit data corresponding to the vibration below the reference value to the user terminal 100. As a result, before the user U enters the bed B, the user terminal 200 may not receive the sleep data from the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100.

On the other hand, when the user U enters the bed, the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may detect vibration of a reference value or more. The sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may transmit sleep data corresponding to the vibration equal to or greater than the reference value to the user terminal 200.

When the sleep data starts to be received from the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine that the user U has entered the bed B, and the sleep data is received. The time at which the user has begun may be determined as the time when the user U enters the bed B.

In addition, when the user U falls asleep, the sleep data acquisition device 100 detects the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U who is asleep, and responds to the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U. The sleep data SD may be transmitted to the user terminal 200. In addition, the user terminal 200 may determine a time when the user U sleeps based on the sleep data SD, or may determine a time when the user U sleeps through the sleep management server SV.

Specifically, when the user U enters the dragonfly B, the user U does not fall asleep immediately after entering the dragonfly B, and the user U for a short time or several hours after going to bed. May not fall asleep. Therefore, the time when the user U enters the dragonfly B and the time when the user U sleeps may be different.

In addition, the heartbeat, breathing and movement of the waking user U and the heartbeat, breathing and movement of the sleeping user U are different. Specifically, the heart rate and respiration of the user U of a person is widely known to decrease in frequency during sleep.

Accordingly, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV receiving the sleep data from the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100 may wake up the user U based on the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U. It may be determined whether the user is asleep, and the time at which the user U sleeps may be determined based on a determination result of whether the user U is awake or asleep.

In addition, the sleep data acquisition device 100 detects the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U at predetermined time periods while the user U sleeps, and corresponds to the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U. The sleep data SD may be transmitted to the user terminal 200.

The user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV determines whether the user U is sleeping during the consciousness or the unconsciousness based on the sleep data SD of the user U during sleep and during the unconsciousness. can do.

People's sleep is widely known to be in constant steps and cycles, rather than suddenly falling asleep. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the sleep of a person proceeds to an increasingly deep sleep stage after the person sleeps, then proceeds to a shallow sleep stage again, and proceeds to a deep sleep stage again.

Such a person's sleep is widely known as REM sleep (REM sleep, Rapid Eye Movement sleep) and non-REM sleep, non-REM sleep can be divided into four stages.

REM sleep accounts for approximately 20-25% of total sleep, and during REM sleep, characteristic brain waves are seen, muscle tension decreases to the lowest level, and rapid eye movements are known to be observed.

In addition, it is known that the brain of the human being is active, such as dreaming during REM sleep, and changes in the number of heartbeats and the number of breaths occur during REM sleep.

In addition, as described above, sleep of sleep can be divided into a first stage, a second stage, a third stage, and a fourth stage, and sleep of the third stage and the fourth stage is generally referred to as deep sleep, and the first stage and The second stage of sleep is usually referred to as shallow sleep. Here, deep sleep is known to occupy approximately 15-20% of total sleep.

During nonremem sleep, muscle tension decreases and body movements decrease. In addition, it is known that the activity of the human brain is significantly reduced during nonremem sleep.

In particular, during nonremem sleep, the number of heartbeats and the number of breaths decrease compared to the non-sleep state and are known to be relatively regular.

As such, the sleep of a person exhibits characteristic heartbeats, respirations, and movements at each stage, so that the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server (SV) displays the heartbeat, respiration, and movements of the user U during sleep. The sleep stage of the user U may be determined based on the data SD.

For example, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the sleep of the user U has entered or deviated from the REM sleep phase, and has entered the REM sleep phase. The time of departure from the REM sleep phase can be determined / stored.

As another example, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the sleep of the user U has entered the deep sleep stages (third and fourth stages) of the berem sleep or has deviated from the deep sleep stage. In addition, it is possible to determine / store the time of entering the deep sleep stage and the time of departure from the deep sleep stage.

It is also known that a person during sleep wakes up during consciousness or during unconsciousness. For example, during REM sleep, a person enters a stage to wake up, as shown in FIG. In addition, in the wake-up phase, a person may wake up during consciousness or unconsciousness, during the wakeup, the number of heartbeats and the number of breaths increases, and the movement becomes active.

Accordingly, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the user U has woken up during sleep based on the sleep data SD representing the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user U during sleep. Can be.

For example, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the user U has woken while sleeping, and may determine / store the waking time. In addition, if the user U falls asleep again within a reference time (for example, 30 minutes) after waking up, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine that sleep is continuing, You can judge / save the time.

In addition, the user U who has finished sleeping may escape from the bed B after waking up. When the user U wakes up and moves away from the bed B, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the user U is based on the sleep data SD received from the sleep data acquisition apparatus 100. It may be determined whether the user has woken up and the user U has moved out of the dragonfly B. In addition, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine / store a time at which the user U wakes up and a time at which the user U leaves the dragonfly B.

As described above, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may obtain sleep information SI of the user U based on the sleep data SD. In detail, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may have a time when the user U enters the bed B, a time when the user U sleeps, a time when the user U has changed sleep stages, a user ( Sleep time information, such as the time U wakes up during sleep, the time U wakes up during sleep, the time U wakes up, and the time U wakes up from sleep B Can be.

In addition, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may generate sleep summary information of the user U based on the sleep time information of the user U. For example, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may have a total sleep time, a time to sleep, the number of times of waking up during sleep, sleep efficiency, and deep sleep based on the sleep time information of the user U. Sleep summary information, such as time and REM sleep time, may be obtained.

In addition, the user terminal 200 may display the sleep summary information to the user according to the user's input.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the sleep data acquisition device 100 included in the sleep management system 1 and the configuration of the user terminal 200 will be described.

For example, the sleep sensor 120 may include a piezoelectric sensor 121 that detects a pressure caused by a user's heartbeat, respiration, and movement, and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the sensed pressure. The piezoelectric sensor 121 uses a piezoelectric effect in which electrical polarization occurs on the surface of the crystal when a force is applied to the crystal. The piezoelectric sensor 121 generates an AC voltage when a pressure is applied, and when an AC voltage is applied. Generate vibration.

Specifically, when the piezoelectric sensor 121 is pressed by the heartbeat, respiration, and movement of the user, the piezoelectric sensor 121 may output an electrical signal corresponding to the pressure applied to the piezoelectric sensor 121.

As another example, the sleep sensor 120 may include an acceleration sensor 123 that detects a vibration caused by a user's heartbeat, respiration, and movement, and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the sensed vibration.

The acceleration sensor 123 is a sensor measuring a change in speed per unit time. When the acceleration sensor 123 moves or vibrates due to a user's heartbeat, respiration, and movement, the acceleration sensor 123 may output an electrical signal corresponding to the movement or vibration.

However, the sleep sensor 120 does not necessarily include both the piezoelectric sensor 121 and the acceleration sensor 123, and the sleep sensor 120 may be the piezoelectric sensor 121 or the acceleration sensor 123 according to a designer's choice. It may include.

Non-volatile memory, such as an EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), and a flash memory.

Volatile memory is a memory that loses stored data when power is cut off, and can temporarily store programs and data. For example, the volatile memory may store the control program and the control data, or may store the sleep data SD acquired by the sleep sensor 120.

The nonvolatile memory is a memory that can retain stored data even when power is cut off. The nonvolatile memory can semi-permanently store programs and data. For example, the nonvolatile memory may store a control program and control data for controlling the operation of the sleep data obtaining apparatus 100.

The processor 111 processes the sleep data SD input from the sleep sensor 120 according to the control program and the control data stored in the memory 113, and transmits the sleep data to the user terminal 200 through the sensor communication unit 130. Can be sent to.

For example, the processor 111 may generate the sleep data SD by acquiring an electrical signal output from the sleep sensor 120 at a predetermined time and digitizing the obtained electrical signal. In addition, the processor 111 may output the sleep data SD and the control signal to the sensor communication unit 130 so that the sensor communication unit 130 transmits the sleep data SD to the user terminal 200.

As described above, the sensor controller 110 may control operations of the sleep sensor 120 and the sensor communication unit 130 included in the sleep data acquisition device 100, and the sleep data acquisition device 100 described below. ) Can be interpreted as being controlled by the sensor controller 110.

In addition, the sleep management server SV may determine the sleep state SS of the user based on the sleep data SD received from the user terminal 200.

The sleep management system 1 determines whether the sleep state SS of the user is a REM sleep state (1530).

As described above, the user's sleep may be divided into a REM sleep stage and a non-REM sleep stage. The REM sleep stage is also known as the human brain, which is known as the very next stage of sleep. It is also known that waking up during REM sleep results in less fatigue and a waking up.

Therefore, the sleep management system 1 can provide a weather alarm to the user during REM sleep so that the user can wake up feeling comfortable. To this end, the sleep management system 1 may determine whether the user is sleeping in RAM.

Specifically, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the user has gone to bed, has the user fallen asleep from the sleep management server SV based on the sleep data SD of the user, The sleep state (SS) may be determined at any stage, whether the user has woken briefly during sleep, whether the user has fallen asleep again during sleep, whether the user has fully woken up, and whether the user has gone out of bed.

Based on the sleep state SS of the user, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the user is sleeping in the RAM.

If the user is not in REM sleep (NO in 1530), the sleep management system 1 repeats sleep data acquisition 1510, sleep state determination 1520, and REM sleep determination 1530.

In addition, if the user is in REM sleep (YES in 1530), the sleep management system 1 determines whether the remaining time until the wake-up time set by the user is less than the alarm time range (for example, 30 minutes) (1540). .

Here, the wake up time may be set by the user in advance.

For example, the user may set a wake up time through the wake up time setting screen 3201 as shown in FIG. 25.

The wake-up time setting screen 3201 includes a wake-up time setting area 3210 for setting a user's wake-up time, an alarm time setting area 3220 for inputting a range to output an alarm based on the set wake-up time, and repetition of alarms.

The user may input a desired wake up time through the wake up time setting area 3210.

In addition, the user may select a time range during which the weather alarm is output through the alarm time setting region 3220.

As illustrated in FIG. 26, a plurality of REM sleep stages RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4, and RS5 are found during sleep of the user. Since the sleep of the person repeats the sleep and the deep sleep at regular intervals, a plurality of REM sleep stages RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4, and RS5 may be detected during the sleep of the person.

The sleep management system 1 may provide an alarm to the user during the REM sleep phase closest to the wakeup time set by the user during the REM sleep of the user in order to induce a fresh wakeup of the user and provide the user with sufficient sleep time.

Here, the alarm time setting area 3220 indicates a time range during which the sleep management system 1 can provide an alarm to a user.

In addition, the user may select a day for providing a weather alarm on a weekly basis through the alarm repetition setting area 3230. For example, when Thursday (T) and Friday (F) are selected as shown in FIG. 25, the sleep management system 1 may provide an alarm at a user's wakeup time on Thursday and Friday during the week. .

In addition, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may compare the current time and the wake-up time set by the user, and determine whether a difference between the current time and the wake-up time is within an alarm time range set by the user. . In other words, the user terminal 200 or the sleep management server SV may determine whether the current time is close to the waking time set by the user.

If the time remaining until the wake-up time is not within the alarm time range (NO in 1540), the sleep management system 1 repeats sleep data acquisition 1510, sleep state determination 1520, and REM sleep determination 1530.

For example, as shown in FIG. 26, the user sleeps during the first RAM sleep RS1, the second RAM sleep RS2, the third RAM sleep RS3, the fourth RAM sleep RS4, and the fifth RAM. The surface RS4 may be rough.

In this case, in the case of the first REM sleep RS1, the second REM sleep RS2, the third REM sleep RS3, and the fourth REM sleep RS4, the REM sleep time is out of the reference time from the wake-up time, thus managing sleep. The system 1 does not provide weather alerts to the user.

In addition, if the time remaining until the wake-up time is within the alarm time range (Yes of 1540), the sleep management system 1 provides a wake-up alarm to the user (1550).

If the user is sleeping in REM and the time remaining until the time remaining until the wake-up time is less than the reference time, the user can easily wake up from sleep. Thus, the sleep management system 1 can provide weather alerts to the user.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 26, in the fifth REM sleep RS5, since the REM sleep time is within a reference time from the wake up time, the sleep management system 1 may provide a wake up alarm to the user.

In detail, the user terminal 200 may output an alarm sound preset by the user.
