[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order. The terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, in the embodiments of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0046] The embodiments of the present application disclose a thickness adjustment method for a smart mattress and related products. The method can adjust the thickness of the area on the mattress where the pillow is placed so that the height of the pillow matches the height required by the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0048] In order to more clearly explain the thickness adjustment method and device of a smart mattress, a smart mattress, and a storage medium disclosed in the embodiments of this application, an application scenario suitable for this method is first introduced. Figure 1 , Figure 1 : This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the method can be applied to a smart mattress 110. Optionally, the smart mattress 110 can include a controller (e.g., a central processing unit or a single-chip microcomputer) to enable the smart mattress 110 to have certain logical operation capabilities and logical control capabilities. Optionally, the smart mattress 110 can include a thickness adjustment module (not shown), and the smart mattress 110 can adjust the thickness of the entire smart mattress or the thickness of a local area on the smart mattress 110 through the thickness adjustment module. The thickness adjustment module can include an inflatable and deflable airbag component, or other height-adjustable mechanism, which is not limited here.

[0049] It should be noted that the smart mattress 110 may also include other components, modules, or units not shown in the figure. For example, the smart mattress 110 may also include a battery management module, a battery, or a communication module, etc., which are not limited here. Figure 1 The structure and function of the smart mattress 110 should not be limited.

[0050] Please see further Figure 1 In one embodiment, the smart mattress 110 can obtain a first height (such as Figure 1 The first height is used to represent the height at which the head of the user 120 is lifted relative to the torso by the target pillow 130 when the user 120 rests on the target pillow 130; further, the smart mattress 110 can obtain the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow 130 (e.g., Figure 1 L2 shown in FIG, and calculate the difference between the first height and the first thickness as the adjustment coefficient (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The smart mattress 110 can then adjust the thickness of the first area of ​​the smart mattress 110 where the target pillow 130 is placed based on the adjustment coefficient, so that the height of the target pillow 130 reaches the first height required by the user. This solves the problem of traditional pillows being too high or too low when used, which can occur due to the inability to adjust the thickness of traditional pillows, and improves the user experience.

[0051] Based on this, the thickness adjustment method of the smart mattress disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

[0052] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for adjusting the thickness of a smart mattress disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the method can be applied to the above-mentioned smart mattress, or other execution entities, without limitation herein. Optionally, the method can include the following steps:

[0053] 202. Obtain a first height, where the first height is used to indicate the height by which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso by the target pillow when the user rests his head on the target pillow.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the pillow height required by the user is the height at which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso by the target pillow when the user rests on the target pillow (e.g. Figure 1 L1 as shown). Figure 1 As shown, the pillow height is the height difference between the upper surface of the target pillow and other areas of the smart mattress except the first area where the target pillow is placed.

[0055] Optionally, the first height may be a pillow height set by the user according to user requirements. Optionally, the first height may also be set by the smart mattress according to user input of usage requirements, or according to a historical height set by the user when using the target pillow, which is not limited here.

[0056] 204. Obtain a first thickness corresponding to the target pillow, and calculate a difference between the first height and the first thickness as an adjustment coefficient.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow refers to the thickness of the target pillow itself (e.g. Figure 1 L2 shown). Optionally, the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow may be input by the user according to actual measurement results, or may be pre-stored in the local cache of the smart mattress by the developer or the manufacturer of the target pillow, which is not limited here.

[0058] As described above, the first height (i.e., pillow height) is the height difference between the upper surface of the target pillow and other areas of the smart mattress except the first area where the target pillow is placed. In this case, when the thickness of the first area is the same as that of the other areas, if the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow is not equal to the first height, the pillow height cannot reach the first height required by the user.

[0059] Optionally, after determining the first height required by the user and the first thickness of the target pillow, the smart mattress can calculate the difference between the first height and the first thickness as an adjustment coefficient, and then the smart mattress can subsequently adjust the thickness of the first area according to the adjustment coefficient to make the pillow height of the target pillow consistent with the first height required by the user.

[0060] 206. Adjust the thickness of a first area of ​​the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, where the first area is the area where the target pillow is currently placed on the smart mattress.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the adjustment coefficient, the smart mattress can adjust the thickness of the first area on the smart mattress where the target pillow is placed according to the adjustment coefficient, but does not adjust the thickness of other areas on the smart mattress except the first area, so that the first area can be raised or lowered relative to other areas, and thus the effect of raising or lowering the height of the target pillow relative to other areas can be achieved while the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow remains unchanged.

[0062] Optionally, before the thickness of the first region of the smart mattress is adjusted, the thickness of the first region may be equal to the thickness of other regions. Further, after adjusting the thickness of the first region of the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, if it is determined that the user is not using the target pillow, the smart mattress may restore the thickness of the first region to be equal to the thickness of other regions.

[0063] Optionally, the adjustment coefficient may include three cases: if the first height is greater than the first thickness, the adjustment coefficient is greater than 0; if the first height is less than the first thickness, the adjustment coefficient is less than 0; and if the first height is equal to the first thickness, the adjustment coefficient is 0.

[0064] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of thickness adjustment for a smart mattress disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, if the adjustment coefficient is greater than 0, the smart mattress 110 may increase the thickness of the first region 310 of the smart mattress 110 by a value L4 corresponding to the adjustment coefficient. The value corresponding to the adjustment coefficient may include the adjustment coefficient or the absolute value of the adjustment coefficient. For example, if the adjustment coefficient is 3 cm, the smart mattress 110 may increase the thickness of the first region 310 of the smart mattress 110 by 3 cm.

[0065] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is another schematic diagram of thickness adjustment for a smart mattress disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, if the adjustment coefficient is less than 0, the smart mattress 110 may control the thickness of the first region 310 of the smart mattress 110 to be reduced by a value L5 corresponding to the adjustment coefficient. The value corresponding to the adjustment coefficient may include the adjustment coefficient or the absolute value of the adjustment coefficient. For example, if the adjustment coefficient is -2 cm, the smart mattress 110 may control the thickness of the first region 310 of the smart mattress 110 to be reduced by 2 cm.

[0066] Optionally, if the adjustment coefficient is 0, that is, the pillow height of the target pillow has reached the first height, the smart mattress may not adjust the first area included in the smart mattress.

[0067] By implementing the above method, the smart mattress can automatically increase or decrease the thickness of the first area on the smart mattress where the target pillow is placed according to the size of the adjustment coefficient, so that the pillow height of the adjusted target pillow reaches the first height required by the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0068] As an optional embodiment, after adjusting the thickness of the first region of the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, the smart mattress may determine whether the number of times the user tosses and turns while using the target pillow is greater than or equal to a threshold number (e.g., 10, 20, or 25 times, etc., the specific value can be set by the developer or user and is not limited here); if the number of times the user tosses and turns while using the target pillow is greater than or equal to the threshold number, a query message is output, which is used to inquire whether the user needs to adjust the pillow height of the target pillow; if an adjustment instruction input by the user according to the query message is received, the thickness of the first region is adjusted according to the adjustment instruction to adjust the pillow height of the target pillow. Optionally, the adjustment instruction may include raising the target pillow by a third value, or lowering the target pillow by a fourth value, etc., which are not limited here.

[0069] Optionally, the smart mattress may include a pressure sensor for detecting pressure applied to the smart mattress. Optionally, after adjusting the thickness of a first region of the smart mattress according to an adjustment coefficient, the smart mattress may use the pressure sensor to detect multiple consecutive pressure values ​​applied to regions other than the first region of the smart mattress. If the pressure difference between any set of adjacent pressure values ​​in the multiple connected pressure values ​​exceeds a pressure threshold, the smart mattress may determine that the user has performed a turn. In this manner, the smart mattress may determine the number of times the user has turned over while using the target pillow based on the multiple consecutive pressure values.

[0070] For example, the multiple continuous pressure values ​​collected by the pressure sensor are: 500N, 501N, 450N, 500N, 502N, among which the pressure difference between 501N and 450N is large and greater than the pressure threshold. The smart mattress can determine that the user has turned over.

[0071] In another embodiment, the smart mattress may include a camera device, and the smart mattress may capture multiple images of the user using the target pillow through the camera device, and then determine based on the multiple images that the number of times the user turns over in the process of using the target pillow is greater than or equal to a threshold number, which is not limited here.

[0072] By implementing the above method, after adjusting the thickness of the first area where the target pillow is placed, the smart mattress can further determine whether the user frequently turns over while using the target pillow. If the user frequently turns over while using the target pillow, it means that the user may be dissatisfied with the height of the target pillow. In this case, the smart mattress can ask the user for adjustment opinions and adjust the thickness of the first area again so that the adjusted pillow height of the target pillow meets the user's needs, thereby improving the user experience and the intelligence level of the smart mattress.

[0073] By implementing the methods disclosed in the above embodiments, the smart mattress can obtain a first height, which is used to represent the height at which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso by the target pillow when the user rests on the target pillow; and obtain a first thickness of the target pillow, and determine the thickness that needs to be adjusted for the first area of ​​the smart mattress where the target pillow is placed based on the first height and the first thickness, so that the height of the target pillow after adjustment reaches the first height required by the user. In other words, by implementing the embodiments of the present application, the smart mattress can automatically adjust the thickness of the area where the pillow is placed on the smart mattress based on the first height and pillow thickness required by the user, so that the target pillow is raised or lowered, thereby solving the problem that the thickness of traditional pillows cannot be adjusted, which causes the user to encounter the problem of the pillow height being too high or too low when using the pillow, thereby improving the user experience; and, according to the size of the adjustment coefficient, the thickness of the first area of ​​the smart mattress where the target pillow is placed can be automatically increased or decreased, so that the height of the target pillow after adjustment reaches the first height required by the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0074] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flow chart of another method for adjusting the thickness of a smart mattress disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the method can be applied to the above-mentioned smart mattress, or other execution entities, without limitation herein. Optionally, the method can include the following steps:

[0075] 502. Obtain a first height, where the first height is used to indicate the height by which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso by the target pillow when the user rests his head on the target pillow.

[0076] 504. Obtain a second thickness of the target pillow in a natural state and a deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow, and determine a first thickness corresponding to the target pillow based on the second thickness and the deformation coefficient of the target pillow.

[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, the target pillow may include a pillow that deforms under pressure, resulting in a change in thickness, such as a latex pillow or a cotton pillow, without limitation. It is understood that when the user's head rests on the target pillow, the target pillow will deform, and the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow should be the thickness of the target pillow after deformation. Optionally, the first thickness can be measured while the user's head rests on the target pillow, causing the target pillow to deform; it can also be set by the developer based on extensive development experience, without limitation.

[0078] In one embodiment, the smart mattress can obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow. The natural state refers to the target pillow being undeformed, and the deformation coefficient represents the degree of deformation of the target pillow when subjected to pressure from the user's head.

[0079] Optionally, the deformation coefficient can be expressed as a percentage, for example, 70% or 80%, etc., without limitation. It is used to represent the proportional relationship between the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation and the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state. For example, assuming the second thickness is 5 cm and the deformation coefficient is 80%, the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation is 4 cm.

[0080] Optionally, the deformation coefficient can be expressed as a positive integer with a unit of length, such as 1 cm or 2 cm, etc., without limitation. It is used to represent the reduction in thickness of the target pillow after deformation. For example, assuming the second thickness is 5 cm and the deformation coefficient is 2 cm, the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation is 3 cm.

[0081] Optionally, the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow can be input into the smart mattress by a developer or user based on actual measurement results. Optionally, the target pillow can include identification information, including information such as the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow. This information can be set by the manufacturer of the target pillow based on actual measurement results during the production process of the target pillow, and is not limited here.

[0082] Optionally, the identification information may include QR code information or serial number information, etc., which is not limited here. Optionally, the identification information may also include information corresponding to a chip or magnetic material disposed within the target pillow, which is not limited here. Optionally, the smart mattress may identify the identification information corresponding to the target pillow and parse the identified identification information to obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow.

[0083] By implementing the above method, the smart mattress can obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow by identifying the identification information included in the target pillow; thereby enriching the ways in which the smart mattress obtains the second thickness and deformation coefficient of the target pillow, it also reduces the difficulty of obtaining the above data; in addition, the data included in the identification information is usually set by the manufacturer of the target pillow and has a high accuracy rate, thereby also improving the accuracy of the first thickness determined subsequently.

[0084] As an optional implementation, the smart mattress may obtain the usage time of the target pillow before obtaining the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow, and adjust the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow according to the usage time of the target pillow.

[0085] It is understandable that as the target pillow's usage increases, its degree of deformation will change under the same applied force. For example, a latex pillow's degree of deformation will increase with usage under the same applied force. Therefore, by implementing the above method, the smart mattress can adjust the target pillow's deformation coefficient based on its usage, thereby improving the accuracy of the first thickness subsequently determined based on the second thickness and the deformation coefficient.

[0086] Optionally, if the usage time of the target pillow is greater than or equal to a time threshold (for example, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months, not limited here), the smart mattress can adjust the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow according to the time difference between the usage time of the target pillow and the time threshold.

[0087] Optionally, if the deformation coefficient is used to represent the proportional relationship between the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation and the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state, the smart mattress can reduce the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow by a first value based on the difference between the usage time of the target pillow and the time threshold, wherein the first value is positively correlated with the time difference.

[0088] For example, the smart mattress can reduce the deformation coefficient of the target pillow from 80% to 70% as the target pillow is used for a longer period of time, thereby increasing the degree of deformation represented by the deformation coefficient.

[0089] Optionally, if it is determined that the deformation coefficient represents the reduction in thickness of the target pillow after deformation, the smart mattress can increase the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow by a second value based on the difference between the usage time of the target pillow and the time threshold, wherein the second value is positively correlated with the time difference.

[0090] For example, the smart mattress can increase the deformation coefficient of the target pillow from 2 cm to 3 cm as the target pillow is used for a longer period of time, so as to increase the degree of deformation represented by the deformation coefficient.

[0091] Optionally, when the smart mattress obtains the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow, if it is determined that the deformation coefficient is used to represent the proportional relationship between the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation and the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state, then the target product between the second thickness and the deformation coefficient can be calculated, and the target product can be used as the first thickness.

[0092] In another embodiment, if it is determined that the deformation coefficient represents the reduction in thickness of the target pillow after deformation, the smart mattress may calculate a target difference obtained by subtracting the deformation coefficient from the second thickness, and use the target difference as the first thickness.

[0093] 506. Calculate the difference between the first height and the first thickness as an adjustment coefficient, and adjust the thickness of a first area included in the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, where the first area is the area where the target pillow is currently placed on the smart mattress.

[0094] By implementing the methods disclosed in the above embodiments, the smart mattress can automatically adjust the thickness of the area where the pillow is placed on the smart mattress based on the first height and pillow thickness required by the user, so that the target pillow is raised or lowered, thereby solving the problem of the user encountering the problem of the pillow being too high or too low when using the pillow due to the inability to adjust the thickness of traditional pillows, thereby improving the user experience; and the smart mattress can obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow, and determine the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation based on the second thickness and the deformation coefficient, thereby reducing the difficulty of obtaining the first thickness; in addition, the smart mattress can obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow by identifying the identification information included in the target pillow; thereby enriching the methods for the smart mattress to obtain the second thickness and deformation coefficient of the target pillow while reducing the difficulty of obtaining the above data; in addition, the data included in the identification information is usually set by the manufacturer of the target pillow and has a high accuracy rate, thereby also improving the accuracy of the subsequently determined first thickness.

[0095] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flow chart of another method for adjusting the thickness of a smart mattress disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the method can be applied to the above-mentioned smart mattress, or other execution entities, without limitation herein. Optionally, the method can include the following steps:

[0096] 602. Obtain a first height, where the first height is used to indicate the height by which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso by the target pillow when the user rests his head on the target pillow.

[0097] 604. Obtain a first thickness corresponding to the target pillow, and calculate a difference between the first height and the first thickness as an adjustment coefficient.

[0098] 606. Adjust the thickness of a first area of ​​the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, where the first area is the area where the target pillow is currently placed on the smart mattress.

[0099] As an optional embodiment, after adjusting the thickness of the first area included in the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, the smart mattress can obtain the first sleeping position of the user when currently using the target pillow. If the user switches from the first sleeping position to the second sleeping position while using the target pillow, the thickness of the first area where the target pillow is placed is adjusted so that the pillow height of the adjusted target pillow is adapted to the second sleeping position.

[0100] Alternatively, if the first sleeping position is a supine position and the second sleeping position is a side-lying position, the smart mattress can increase the thickness of the first region. It is understood that compared to a supine position, a side-lying user typically requires a higher pillow height to avoid shoulder discomfort. Therefore, the smart mattress can increase the thickness of the first region to increase the target pillow height.

[0101] Optionally, if the first sleeping position is a side sleeping position and the second sleeping position is a flat sleeping position, the smart mattress can reduce the thickness of the first area.

[0102] By implementing the above method, the smart mattress can adjust the thickness of the first area where the target pillow is placed according to the changes in the user's sleeping position when using the target pillow, so that the pillow height of the adjusted target pillow adapts to the user's sleeping position, thereby improving the user experience and the intelligence level of the smart mattress.

[0103] 608. If it is detected that the target pillow moves from the first area to the second area on the smart mattress, the thickness of the second area is adjusted according to the adjustment coefficient, and the thickness of the first area is adjusted to the initial thickness.

[0104] In practice, it has been found that users inevitably move the target pillow while using it. If the user moves the target pillow from the first area after thickness adjustment to another area where thickness adjustment has not been made, the pillow height corresponding to the target pillow may no longer meet the user's desired first height. Alternatively, upon detecting that the target pillow has moved from the first area to a second area on the smart mattress, the smart mattress may further adjust the thickness of the second area according to the aforementioned adjustment coefficient, so that when the target pillow is placed in the second area, the pillow height of the target pillow still meets the user's desired first height.

[0105] Optionally, the smart mattress can adjust the thickness of the first region to an initial thickness. Optionally, the initial thickness can include a thickness set by the developer or user. Optionally, the initial thickness can also be the thickness of other regions of the smart mattress besides the first and second regions, thereby preventing the first region from being thicker or thinner than other regions, thereby preventing the first region from being uneven relative to other regions and affecting the user's normal use of the smart mattress.

[0106] In one embodiment, the target pillow may include a positioning module. The smart mattress may then determine whether the target pillow has moved from the first area to the second area using the positioning module. Optionally, the positioning module may include a magnetic positioning module. If the smart mattress does not detect magnetic information generated by the magnetic positioning module in the first area, but detects magnetic information generated by the magnetic positioning module in the second area, it may be determined that the target pillow has moved from the first area to the second area. In other optional embodiments, the smart mattress may also determine whether the target pillow has moved from the first area to the second area based on multiple images captured of the smart mattress and the target pillow, which are not limited here.

[0107] By implementing the above method, when the smart mattress detects that the target pillow has moved from the first area to the second area on the smart mattress, the smart mattress can further adjust the thickness of the second area so that when the target pillow is placed in the second area, the pillow height of the target pillow can also meet the first height required by the user, thereby improving the user experience; in addition, the thickness of the first area can be restored to the initial thickness to avoid the first area being thicker or thinner than other areas, which affects the user's normal use of the smart mattress.

[0108] By implementing the methods disclosed in the above embodiments, the smart mattress can automatically adjust the thickness of the area where the pillow is placed on the smart mattress according to the first height and pillow thickness required by the user, so that the target pillow is raised or lowered, thereby solving the problem that the thickness of traditional pillows cannot be adjusted, which causes the user to encounter the problem of the pillow height being too high or too low when using the pillow, thereby improving the user's usage experience; and, when the smart mattress detects that the target pillow moves from the first area to the second area on the smart mattress, it can further adjust the thickness of the second area, so that when the target pillow is placed in the second area, the pillow height of the target pillow can also meet the first height required by the user, thereby improving the user's usage experience; in addition, the thickness of the first area can be restored to the initial thickness to avoid the first area being thicker or thinner than other areas, which affects the user's normal use of the smart mattress.

[0109] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the structure of a thickness adjustment device for a smart mattress disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the device can be applied to the above-mentioned smart mattress, or other execution entities, without limitation herein. Optionally, the device can include a first acquisition unit 702, a second acquisition unit 704, and a first adjustment unit 706, wherein:

[0110] A first obtaining unit 702 is configured to obtain a first height, where the first height represents the height by which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso when the user rests on the target pillow.

[0111] A second obtaining unit 704 is configured to obtain a first thickness corresponding to a target pillow and calculate a difference between the first height and the first thickness as an adjustment coefficient;

[0112] The first adjustment unit 706 is configured to adjust the thickness of a first region included in the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, where the first region is the region where the target pillow is currently placed on the smart mattress.

[0113] By implementing the above device, the smart mattress can obtain a first height, which represents the height at which the user's head is lifted relative to the user's torso by the target pillow when the user rests on the target pillow; and obtain a first thickness of the target pillow, and determine the thickness of the first area of ​​the smart mattress where the target pillow is placed based on the first height and the first thickness, so that the adjusted height of the target pillow reaches the first height required by the user. In other words, by implementing the embodiment of the present application, the smart mattress can automatically adjust the thickness of the area where the pillow is placed on the smart mattress based on the user's desired first height and pillow thickness, so that the target pillow is raised or lowered, thereby resolving the problem of traditional pillows being too high or too low when the user uses the pillow due to the inability to adjust the thickness, thereby improving the user experience.

[0114] As an optional embodiment, the first adjustment unit 706 is further used to control the thickness of the first area included in the smart mattress to increase by the value corresponding to the adjustment coefficient when the adjustment coefficient is greater than 0; and, when the adjustment coefficient is less than 0, control the thickness of the first area included in the smart mattress to decrease by the value corresponding to the adjustment coefficient; and, when the adjustment coefficient is 0, not adjust the thickness of the first area included in the smart mattress.

[0115] By implementing the above device, the smart mattress can automatically increase or decrease the thickness of the first area on the smart mattress where the target pillow is placed according to the size of the adjustment coefficient, so that the pillow height of the adjusted target pillow reaches the first height required by the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0116] As an optional embodiment, the second acquisition unit 704 is also used to obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in a natural state, and the deformation coefficient corresponding to the target pillow, where the natural state refers to the state where the target pillow is not deformed, and the deformation coefficient is used to indicate the degree of deformation of the target pillow when it is subjected to the pressure exerted by the user's head; and, based on the second thickness and the deformation coefficient of the target pillow, determine the first thickness corresponding to the target pillow.

[0117] By implementing the above device, the smart mattress can obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow, and determine the first thickness of the target pillow after deformation based on the second thickness and the deformation coefficient, thereby reducing the difficulty of obtaining the first thickness.

[0118] As an optional implementation, Figure 7 The device shown may further include an identification unit and a parsing unit (not shown), wherein:

[0119] an identification unit, configured to identify identification information corresponding to the target pillow before obtaining the second thickness of the target pillow in a natural state;

[0120] The parsing unit is used to parse the identification information to obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in a natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow.

[0121] By implementing the above-mentioned device, the smart mattress can obtain the second thickness of the target pillow in its natural state and the corresponding deformation coefficient of the target pillow by identifying the identification information included in the target pillow; thereby enriching the methods for the smart mattress to obtain the second thickness and deformation coefficient of the target pillow, and also reducing the difficulty of obtaining the above-mentioned data; in addition, the data included in the identification information is usually set by the manufacturer of the target pillow, and has a high accuracy rate, thereby also improving the accuracy of the first thickness determined subsequently.

[0122] As an optional implementation, Figure 7 The device shown may further comprise a second adjustment unit (not shown), wherein:

[0123] The second adjustment unit is configured to adjust the thickness of the first area included in the smart mattress according to the adjustment coefficient, and if it is detected that the target pillow moves from the first area to the second area on the smart mattress, adjust the thickness of the second area according to the adjustment coefficient, and adjust the thickness of the first area to the initial thickness.

[0124] By implementing the above device, when the smart mattress detects that the target pillow has moved from the first area to the second area on the smart mattress, the smart mattress can further adjust the thickness of the second area so that when the target pillow is placed in the second area, the pillow height of the target pillow can also meet the first height required by the user, thereby improving the user experience; in addition, the thickness of the first area can be restored to the initial thickness to avoid the first area being thicker or thinner than other areas, which affects the user's normal use of the smart mattress.
