Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sleep monitoring, and in particular to a sleep management method based on the linkage of a smart ring and a smart pillow. Background Art

[0002] Currently, smart rings are mainly designed as stand-alone devices, which are usually connected to their own dedicated applications so that users can monitor and manage their health data individually. However, when it comes to sleep breathing disorders, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), current smart rings cannot provide a comprehensive solution. In the early stages of OSA, users often cannot judge whether they have this symptom by themselves, while in the middle stage, patients need to continue to pay attention to their OSA condition to ensure that the condition does not worsen.

[0003] Although smart rings have the function of detecting OSA symptoms, for current smart rings, once a problem is detected, they are often unable to interact with any other device or service, nor can they provide effective improvement measures. For some users with severe OSA symptoms, they even need to wear a ventilator at night for sleep therapy. This will undoubtedly have a serious impact on their quality of life. Wearing a ventilator for a long time will not only cause discomfort, but may also affect the user's daily activities and social interactions, thereby further reducing their quality of life. Therefore, for users who wear smart rings, how to improve the user's sleep quality is a problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0024] If the rapid eye movement sleep period ratio does not reach the preset ratio threshold, it is determined that no abnormal sleep condition occurs.

[0025] Furthermore, the smart pillow receives the intervention instruction sent by the smart ring, and performs corresponding intervention actions according to the intervention instruction, including:

[0026] When it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur, the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleeping state according to the intervention instruction.

[0027] Furthermore, when it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur, the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleep state according to the intervention instruction, including:

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

As used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0050] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0051] See below Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a sleep management method based on the linkage between a smart ring and a smart pillow, which specifically includes: steps S101 to S103.

[0052] Step S101: When the user is in a sleeping state, the smart ring collects the user's sleep parameters and determines whether an abnormal sleep condition occurs according to the sleep parameters;

[0053] Step S102: When it is determined that an abnormal sleeping condition occurs, an intervention instruction is sent to the smart pillow;

[0054] Step S103: The smart pillow receives the intervention instruction sent by the smart ring, and performs a corresponding intervention action according to the intervention instruction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the smart ring collects the user's sleep parameters, and determines whether an abnormal sleep condition occurs based on the sleep parameters, and then determines whether it is necessary to link with the smart pillow. When it is determined that linkage with the smart pillow is necessary, an intervention instruction is sent to the smart pillow, so that the smart pillow intervenes in the user's sleep according to the intervention instruction, so as to slow down or even avoid the user's abnormal sleep condition, which can greatly improve the user's sleep quality.

[0056] In one embodiment, the sleep parameter includes breathing rate;

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the step S101 includes: steps S201 to S203.

[0058] Step S201, the smart ring determines whether obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur according to the breathing frequency;

[0059] Step S202: if the respiratory frequency reaches a preset frequency threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur;

[0060] Step S203: If the respiratory frequency does not reach the preset frequency threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms do not occur.

[0061] In this embodiment, obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, which is mainly manifested by repeated apnea during sleep. Therefore, whether obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur is judged by the user's breathing frequency. That is, if the user's breathing frequency is detected to reach a preset frequency threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms have occurred. Conversely, if the user's breathing frequency is detected to not reach the preset frequency threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms have not occurred.

[0062] In actual applications, when the smart ring detects that the user has more than 5 breathing pauses per hour during sleep, this usually indicates that the user may have mild obstructive sleep apnea. If the test results show that there are more than 15 breathing pauses per hour, then this may mean that the user suffers from moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This situation needs to be taken seriously, because frequent breathing pauses not only affect sleep quality, but may also cause other health problems. When the number of breathing pauses per hour exceeds 30 times, this usually indicates that the user may suffer from severe obstructive sleep apnea. Severe obstructive sleep apnea not only seriously affects sleep quality, but also may bring a series of serious health risks, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. Therefore, when the smart ring detects that the user may suffer from severe obstructive sleep apnea, it can issue an alarm in time and link the smart pillow to wake up the user in time.

[0063] Furthermore, the sleep parameters also include heart rate and pulse data;

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the step S101 also includes: steps S301 to S303.

[0065] Step S301, the smart ring determines whether obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur based on the respiratory rate, heart rate and pulse data;

[0066] Step S302: if the breathing frequency reaches a preset frequency threshold, and any one of the heart rate and / or pulse data reaches a preset threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur;

[0067] Step S303: If the respiratory frequency reaches the preset frequency threshold, but the heart rate and pulse data do not reach the preset threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms do not occur.

[0068] Furthermore, the smart ring can also monitor the user's pulse waveform and heart rate variability and other physiological signals, and combine the respiratory rate, heart rate and pulse data to determine whether obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur, which can improve the accuracy of judgment and avoid misjudgment. For example, when the respiratory frequency reaches the preset frequency threshold, and any one of the heart rate and / or pulse data also reaches the corresponding preset threshold, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms have occurred. If the respiratory frequency reaches the preset frequency threshold, but the heart rate and pulse data do not reach the corresponding preset threshold, it indicates that the user may have changed the respiratory frequency due to changing the sleeping posture, so it will not be directly determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms have occurred. At this time, the respiratory frequency, heart rate and pulse data can continue to be monitored and judged.

[0069] In actual applications, the built-in sensor of the smart ring can capture the changes in the user's pulse waveform in real time. By analyzing the rhythm and intensity of the pulse waveform, abnormal patterns related to obstructive sleep apnea can be found. For example, irregular beats of the pulse waveform or a sudden decrease in intensity may indicate the occurrence of apnea. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the natural fluctuation of heart rate over a period of time, which reflects the activity of the autonomic nervous system. By monitoring heart rate variability, the user's stress state and sleep quality can be assessed. If the heart rate variability decreases abnormally during sleep, this may indicate the occurrence of apnea events. The smart ring combines these physiological signal data with snoring and respiratory rate data. Through algorithm analysis, it can more comprehensively assess the user's sleep condition, thereby providing users with more accurate sleep quality assessments and timely intervention recommendations.

[0070] In some preferred embodiments, the sleep parameters further include: a speech signal;

[0071] The step S101 further includes:

[0072] The smart ring extracts the user's snoring voice from the voice information;

[0073] Determining whether obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur according to the snoring voice;

[0074] If the snoring voice does not meet the preset snoring condition, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur;

[0075] If the snoring voice meets the preset snoring condition, it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur.

[0076] In this embodiment, in addition to judging whether there is obstructive sleep apnea based on the breathing frequency, it is also possible to judge whether there is obstructive sleep apnea based on the user's snoring. Therefore, during the user's sleep, the smart ring can detect external voice information and extract snoring voice from it, and then judge whether there is obstructive sleep apnea based on the snoring voice. For example, when the snoring voice fluctuates or even pauses temporarily, it can be judged that obstructive sleep apnea occurs. When the tone of the snoring voice is relatively stable, it can be judged that there is no obstructive sleep apnea.

[0077] Preferably, the user's snoring and breathing frequency can be combined to determine whether obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment. For example, if the user's breathing frequency is abnormal and accompanied by snoring, the possibility of being judged as obstructive sleep apnea symptoms will be higher. Through this comprehensive judgment, the smart ring can more accurately identify the user's sleep problems and send intervention instructions to the smart pillow in a timely manner.

[0078] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the step S101 also includes: steps S401 to S405.

[0079] Step S401, the smart ring obtains the user's rapid eye movement sleep period and non-rapid eye movement sleep period;

[0080] Step S402, calculating a rapid eye movement sleep period ratio based on the rapid eye movement sleep period and the non-rapid eye movement sleep period;

[0081] Step S403, determining whether the rapid eye movement sleep period ratio reaches a preset ratio threshold;

[0082] Step S404: if the REM sleep period ratio reaches a preset ratio threshold, it is determined that an abnormal sleep condition occurs;

[0083] Step S405: If the REM sleep period ratio does not reach the preset ratio threshold, it is determined that no abnormal sleep condition occurs.

[0084] In this embodiment, the smart ring can not only determine whether the user has symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, but also detect the user's sleep quality. Specifically, the smart ring obtains the user's sleep data, including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and then calculates the proportion of REM sleep experienced by the user during a full night of sleep. If this ratio reaches a preset threshold, it can be considered that the user's sleep quality is poor and corresponding improvement measures need to be taken. In this case, the smart ring will determine that the user has an abnormal sleep condition and issue an intervention instruction to the smart pillow connected to it. Conversely, if the proportion of REM sleep does not reach the preset threshold, it is considered that the user's sleep quality is relatively good and no special intervention is required. In this way, the smart ring can help users better understand their sleep patterns and provide suggestions for improving sleep quality when necessary.

[0085] In actual application scenarios, after obtaining the user's REM sleep and non-REM sleep periods, the smart ring can also adjust the wake-up time according to the user's sleep cycle to ensure that the user is awakened at the most suitable sleep stage, thereby improving the user experience.

[0086] In addition, the smart ring can further analyze the user's deep sleep and light sleep cycles. By monitoring the user's heart rate variability, breathing rate, and small body movements during sleep, the smart ring can accurately divide the length and quality of each sleep stage, and generate a sleep quality report, including the user's total sleep time, distribution of each sleep stage, sleep efficiency, and possible sleep disorder prompts.

[0087] When the user has poor sleep quality for several consecutive nights, the smart ring can also intelligently identify this trend and proactively push reminders to the associated smart terminal, suggesting necessary adjustment measures, such as adjusting work and rest routines, reducing caffeine intake, or trying relaxation techniques. At the same time, the smart ring can also be linked with other smart devices in the home, such as smart lighting systems, to automatically adjust the light intensity and color temperature when the user is about to fall asleep to create a more suitable sleeping environment. Preferably, in order to provide more personalized services to each user, the smart ring can also use machine learning algorithms to continuously optimize its sleep monitoring and improvement strategies based on the user's long-term sleep data and feedback.

[0088] In one embodiment, the smart pillow receives the intervention instruction sent by the smart ring, and performs a corresponding intervention action according to the intervention instruction, including:

[0089] When it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur, the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleeping state according to the intervention instruction.

[0090] Specifically, when it is determined that obstructive sleep apnea symptoms occur, the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleep state according to the intervention instruction, including:

[0091] When the obstructive sleep apnea symptom is at a first preset level, the smart pillow performs a first intervention action;

[0092] When the obstructive sleep apnea symptoms are at a second preset level, the smart pillow performs a second intervention action; wherein the severity of the first preset level is lower than the second preset level, and the amplitude of the first intervention action is lower than the second preset level.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the smart ring detects the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, it will send an intervention instruction to the smart pillow to alleviate the user's obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, or even prevent the user from having obstructive sleep apnea symptoms again. Here, if the smart ring detects that the user's obstructive sleep apnea symptoms are relatively mild, a corresponding intervention instruction can be sent to the smart pillow, so that the smart pillow slightly adjusts the user's sleep state according to the intervention instruction to alleviate the obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. If the smart ring detects that the user's obstructive sleep apnea symptoms are relatively severe, a corresponding intervention instruction is sent to the smart pillow, so that the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleep state to a greater extent according to the intervention instruction to alleviate the obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.

[0094] For example, when the obstructive sleep apnea symptom is at a first preset level, the smart pillow is slowly adjusted from left to right, or from top to bottom, to adjust the user's sleeping posture;

[0095] When the obstructive sleep apnea symptom is at a second preset level, the smart pillow specifies a vibration action to wake up the user.

[0096] When the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea reach the first preset level, the smart pillow can be adjusted slowly from left to right, or from top to bottom, so that the user's sleeping posture can be gently adjusted to relieve the symptoms, and it can also achieve the effect of not affecting the user's deep sleep while helping to improve breathing conditions. When the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea reach the second preset level, the smart pillow can take more active measures to wake up the user by specifying a vibration action. In actual applications, the vibration action of the smart pillow can be designed to be effective without being too violent, so that the user can wake up briefly from sleep and adjust his sleeping position to alleviate the symptoms of apnea. In this way, the smart pillow can provide corresponding intervention measures under different degrees of apnea symptoms to help users get healthier sleep quality.

[0097] In one embodiment, the smart pillow receives the intervention instruction sent by the smart ring, and performs a corresponding intervention action according to the intervention instruction, further comprising:

[0098] When the rapid eye movement sleep period ratio reaches a preset ratio threshold, the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleeping environment according to the intervention instruction.

[0099] Specifically, when the rapid eye movement sleep period ratio reaches a preset ratio threshold, the smart pillow adjusts the user's sleeping environment according to the intervention instruction;

[0100] The smart pillow plays a preset sleep-aiding audio at a preset time, and / or releases a sleep-aiding gas at a preset dosage.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the smart ring detects that the user's REM sleep period has reached a preset threshold, it will send an intervention instruction to the smart pillow to adjust the user's sleeping environment. When the smart pillow makes adjustments according to the intervention instruction, it can adopt a variety of adjustment methods. For example, the smart pillow can play some audio that helps sleep at a preset time. These audios can be soft music, natural sounds, or other relaxing sound effects. In addition, the smart pillow can also release some sleep-aiding gas according to a preset dose, such as gas containing lavender or other relaxing aromas, to help users better enter a deep sleep state.

[0102] In some optional embodiments, the smart pillow can also automatically adjust the surface temperature of the pillow according to the user's sleeping state and ambient temperature, so as to provide the user with a more comfortable sleeping environment. For example, when the smart ring detects that the user's body surface temperature is low, the smart pillow can be heated appropriately to improve the user's sleeping temperature; conversely, when the smart ring detects that the user's body surface temperature is high, the smart pillow can activate the cooling function to help the user lower the head temperature, thereby obtaining a better sleep quality.

[0103] In addition, pressure sensors can be set inside the smart pillow, which can monitor the pressure distribution of the user's head and neck in real time. Based on this data, the smart pillow can automatically adjust the hardness and shape of the pillow to adapt to the personalized sleeping habits of different users. For example, for users who like softer pillows, the smart pillow can increase the softness of the internal filling to make it fit the head and neck better; while for users who like harder pillows, the smart pillow can reduce the filling and provide stronger support. Through this personalized adjustment, the smart pillow can help users get a more comfortable sleeping experience, thereby improving the overall sleep quality.

[0104] In one embodiment, when it is determined that an abnormal sleeping condition occurs, sending an intervention instruction to the smart pillow includes:

[0105] When it is determined that an abnormal sleep condition occurs, the smart ring obtains corresponding abnormal symptoms and generates an intervention strategy according to the abnormal symptoms;

[0106] Based on the intervention strategy, the smart ring sends an intervention instruction to the smart pillow via a Bluetooth broadcast packet.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the smart ring detects that the user has an abnormal sleep condition, it will develop a series of corresponding intervention strategies based on the specific symptoms corresponding to these abnormal conditions. For example, these strategies may include letting the smart pillow shake left and right, vibrate, or play some audio content. After the intervention strategy is formulated, the smart ring can send these formulated intervention strategies in the form of broadcast packets through Bluetooth technology. After receiving these broadcast packets, the smart pillow will perform corresponding intervention actions according to the instructions contained therein to help improve the user's sleep condition.

[0108] For example, the built-in sensors in the smart ring will continuously monitor the user's heart rate, breathing rate, sleep cycle and other key indicators, and compare and analyze them with the preset normal range. Once the user's sleep data deviates from the normal range, such as too fast heart rate, irregular breathing or insufficient deep sleep time, the smart ring will automatically determine it as an abnormal sleep condition. For different types of abnormal sleep symptoms, the smart ring will intelligently select the most appropriate intervention method. For example, if the user shows signs of mild anxiety or difficulty falling asleep, the smart ring can choose to play soft sleep-aiding music or natural sounds, such as the sound of waves and rain, to help the user relax and fall asleep faster through audio intervention. If the user is in deep sleep but turns over frequently, it may be a sign of physical discomfort. At this time, the smart ring can generate intervention instructions to make the smart pillow shake or vibrate slightly, so as to adjust the user's sleeping position and reduce the discomfort caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time.

[0109] In addition, the smart ring can continuously optimize and adjust the intervention strategy based on the user's personal preferences and past feedback. For example, if the user has previously responded well to a certain type of audio, the smart ring can increase the frequency of playing that type of audio in the subsequent intervention strategy generation process. At the same time, the communication process between the smart ring and the smart pillow can also be encrypted to ensure user privacy and data security.

[0110] Preferably, during the intervention operation of the smart pillow, the smart ring can also continuously monitor the user's reaction to evaluate the intervention effect. If the user's sleep condition improves, the smart ring can record this change and use it as a reference in subsequent monitoring; if the intervention effect is not good, the smart ring can adjust the strategy and try other possible intervention methods until the most suitable solution for the user is found. In this way, the user's sleep condition can be dynamically monitored and personalized intervention can be achieved, thereby providing the user with a more comfortable and healthy sleep experience.
