Benefits of technology

[0009]A temperature-regulating mattress system provides dynamic adjustment of temperature throughout a user's sleep cycle to maximize the quality of the user's sleep, Features of the system may include: (a) heating and cooling temperature regulation (with dynamic custom profiles that control humidity and are dual-zone); (b) smart controls (with remotes and apps that learn from users to optimize settings and work with smart home products such as Alexa and interactive lighting systems); (c) comfort (with a mattress that provide the necessary support for its users); and (d) sensors used for temperature and humidity estimation algorithms, control mechanism, and additional inferences from those sensors (pose, enrichment of biometric sensing data, etc.).

Problems solved by technology

Existing solutions (such as air conditioning, ceiling fans, room heaters, open windows and the like) are not effective for temperature regulation during sleep.
For instance, during REM sleep, the body isn't able to thermoregulate.

Embodiment Construction

I. Introduction

[0064]Devices and algorithm for determining and controlling temperature experienced by users under blankets in bedding may be deployed. Sensors positioned at the mattress surface are used in conjunction with a controls model for bedding to estimate and control user experienced temperature, humidity, and position on the bed. This includes devices being used for temperature and humidity estimation algorithms, control mechanism, and additional inferences from those sensors (pose, enrichment of biometric sensing data).

[0065]A variety of approaches may be used to sense temperature, humidity, and body pose at the surface of a mattress. Considered here are wireless surface sensors, as well as wired sensors and smart fabrics. A wireless surface sensor consists of a battery, antenna, temperature and humidity sensors, and a capacitive sensor. The surface sensor measures temperature and humidity using sensor mounted under metal grill. It uses the metal of the grill for capacitiv...

Abstract

A temperature-regulating mattress system provides dynamic adjustment of temperature and other parameters throughout a user's sleep cycle to maximize the quality of the user's sleep, Features of the system may include: (a) heating and cooling temperature regulation (with dynamic custom profiles that control humidity and are dual-zone); (b) smart controls (with remotes and apps that learn from users to optimize settings and work with smart home products such as Alexa and interactive lighting systems); (c) comfort (with a mattress that provide the necessary support for its users); and (d) sensors used for temperature and humidity estimation algorithms, control mechanism, and additional inferences from those sensors (pose, enrichment of biometric sensing data, etc.).
