Abstract

The present invention relates to a an active pillow system and a method for manipulating a person's resting conditions, wherein the actual resting conditions of the person are determined by a sensor unit, an actigraph, a temperature sensor and / or a humidity sensor for instance, and wherein an actuator, like an acoustic synthetic jet cooling mechanism, is triggered by the determined actual resting conditions for manipulating the person's resting conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of sleep monitoring and active sleep manipulation. Background technique [0002] In summer, due to the high temperature, the sleeping person's pillow may become very hot and damp due to sweat. For this reason, many people sleep uncomfortable and sometimes even wake up and flip the pillow to take advantage of the colder / drier side. [0003] The state of the art cooling pillows includes mostly water based solutions. In most of these solutions, cooling is achieved by filling a sealed container with water and placing the container in the refrigerator for a period of time before use. The container would then be placed in the pocket of the pillow case and the case would then be slid over the pillow. Through the heat exchange process, the heat is released into the air. The big disadvantage of this solution is that the water in the pillow has to be changed manually, which is cumbersome. At the same time, the low...
