[0064] In essence, the innovative system of the present invention is a multifunctional and highly detailed sensor technology that monitors individuals of all ages within and around the sleep space.
[0065] The system of the present invention is a multi-faceted sensor-based system designed to improve the sleep quality, comfort, and safety of individuals. The sensor-based system consists of radar sensors integrated into ceiling fans or high-level electrical appliances that can detect and classify the posture, activity, sleep state, and restlessness level of individuals in the room. It is configured with advanced data processing algorithms or artificial intelligence-based algorithms to analyze radar data to identify different objects and classify them into categories such as "adult," "toddler," "infant," and "other." In addition, the system can also assess their physical state, including sleep patterns and activity. This information is transmitted to the control component of the ceiling fan or high-level indoor electrical appliance, allowing adjustments to the high-level indoor electrical appliance or the speed and airflow of the fan to promote a return to a calm and deep sleep state. Furthermore, the data sharing capabilities of the system extend to third-party devices, enabling a wide range of business applications and intelligentization.
[0066] The architecture of the innovative sensor system for health monitoring and event detection of the present invention consists of various components and modules. Detailed information is provided below.
[0067] Sensor Components: The sensor system comprises various components, each serving a specific function to ensure comprehensive monitoring and surveillance of the individual. Sensor components are integral to the ability of the present utility to monitor the individual's sleep in the bed and the area surrounding it. They encompass a wide range of data collection, including passive millimeter wave radiation detection and active millimeter wave radar technology. These sensors not only detect the presence of humans but also provide detailed insights into their activities, behaviors, and actions, making the system's monitoring and surveillance capabilities highly effective. Furthermore, the integration of other sensors and technologies further enhances the system's ability to collect and analyze comprehensive data. In some embodiments, the sensor system of the present utility typically includes the following components:
[0068] Passive Millimeter Wave Sensors: These sensors work by detecting radiation in the millimeter wave band, which are often used for imaging and sensing purposes, in this case, they can provide valuable insights into the actual presence and activities of the individual, thereby enhancing the overall surveillance capabilities of the system;
[0069] Temperature and Humidity Sensors: These sensors can measure the humidity level and temperature in the air, providing insights into the overall comfort of the sleep environment;
[0070] Light Sensors: Light sensors can measure the intensity of ambient light, helping to assess the impact of light on sleep quality, which is particularly important for individuals who are sensitive to light during sleep;
[0071] Active Millimeter Wave Sensors (Radaron Chip - ROC): "Radaron Chip" (ROC) can include a single ROC or an array of ROCs, representing sophisticated radar technology, active millimeter wave sensors (e.g., ROC) are crucial for achieving high-precision detection of activities and presence, these sensors emit millimeter wave signals and analyze the reflected signals to determine the location, activity, and presence of objects or individuals in the monitored area, they can provide detailed information about the individual's behavior and actions. Additionally, multiple radars can be added, such as a dual-radar system for couples, which is an excellent enhancement to the sensor system described in the present utility, without limiting the single-radar embodiment to handle couples in the bed. With multiple radars, the system can achieve higher precision in detecting and tracking the activities and behaviors of individuals.
[0072] In the case of a shared bed by a couple, the radar system (whether single or multiple) can distinguish between the activities of each individual. This allows for personalized monitoring and data collection, which is crucial for independent assessment of the health and sleep quality of each person. Such radar embodiments can cross-verify detected events, thereby reducing the likelihood of false positives. Each radar unit can focus on a specific area or individual, allowing for detailed tracking and analysis. This level of granularity enhances the system's ability to monitor individuals personally, ensuring accurate capture of each person's unique health and sleep patterns. Additionally, the use of multiple radars allows for cross-verification of detected events. This redundancy not only reduces the likelihood of false positives but also enhances the overall reliability of the monitoring system. The present invention allows for the incorporation of various other sensors and technologies that contribute to comprehensive surveillance and monitoring. These additional sensors are also equipped with processing and communication capabilities, enhancing the system's ability to effectively collect, process, and transmit data.
[0073] The sensor module (sensor assembly) is integrated into a ceiling fan or similar device located above the bed. The primary function of this module is to detect the presence of humans, physical cues, sleep patterns, behavior, and activities within and around the bed area. As described in the present invention, sensor integration is a key aspect of the system architecture. It involves the incorporation of sensor modules into various configurations, and this integration plays a central role in the system's functionality. The core feature of the present invention is the integration of sensor modules into different types of devices. This integration can take various forms:
[0074] The sensor module has multiple primary functions that contribute to comprehensive surveillance and monitoring of individuals: The sensor module is designed to detect the presence of humans within and around the bed area, which is crucial for understanding occupancy and activity, it can capture physical cues such as body movements, postures, and behaviors, which are valuable for analyzing sleep patterns and assessing the health of individuals; the sensor module is used to monitor sleep patterns, it can identify sleep disorders, restlessness, and sleep quality, providing valuable insights for improving the sleep environment; the sensor module can analyze and classify individual behavior, including getting out of bed, standing, walking, and other activities that may indicate changes in the individual's state.
[0075] The system of the present invention can include a temperature sensor, which is typically located outside the sensor housing. The primary purpose of this sensor is to measure the ambient temperature of the room in which the system is deployed. The temperature sensor continuously monitors and records the temperature within the room. This data provides valuable information about the environmental conditions of the monitored space.
[0076] The system of the present utility model can include a humidity sensor, which is usually located outside the sensor housing. The main purpose of this sensor is to measure the humidity in the room where the system is deployed. The humidity sensor continuously monitors and records the humidity in the room. This data provides valuable information about the monitored space environment conditions.
[0077] Environmental data: Temperature and humidity readings from sensors provide insights into room comfort and climate. They can detect changes in temperature and humidity, including fluctuations in heating, cooling, air comfort, or other environmental conditions.
[0078] Environmental temperature and humidity have a significant impact on an individual's sleep quality and comfort. By measuring the temperature and humidity of the room, the system can assess how changes in temperature and humidity affect the sleep patterns and well-being of the occupants.
[0079] The system is powered by the device's power supply, but can also have a backup battery power source if needed. When there is no one on the bed or crib, the sensor operates in a low-power sensing mode and switches to full functionality based on activity detection or occupancy triggers. The power management strategy of the system involves two main options:
[0080] a) Device power supply: The system is designed to be primarily powered by the device's power supply, in this configuration, the system draws power from the same power source that powers the device (such as a ceiling fan or similar device) that integrates the system;
[0081] b) Battery power supply: In addition, the system can also include a battery power supply, which serves as a backup or alternative power source. This battery can provide power to the system when needed.
[0082] The main power source is usually the device power supply, ensuring continuous operation of the system, which is crucial for maintaining uninterrupted monitoring and surveillance. By using a backup battery power source, the system gains additional reliability. If there is a power outage or problem with the main power supply, the system can switch to the battery, ensuring that monitoring and event detection functions remain operational.
[0083] The battery power supply serves as a failsafe mechanism, maintaining the operation of the system in the event of a main power outage (such as during a power outage). In healthcare and high-level care environments, this system is crucial for the well-being of individuals, and the availability of a battery power supply is essential to ensure the safety of the occupants. In environments that prioritize energy efficiency, such as hotels or residential spaces, the system can switch to the battery power supply during peak energy usage periods to reduce the load on the main power supply.
[0084] In some embodiments, the system of the present utility model is configured with a triggering mechanism (trigger), which plays a crucial role in managing power consumption and ensuring efficient operation of the system. Here is a detailed explanation of how the triggering mechanism works:
[0085] The system has a trigger mechanism to control the operational state of the sensors. The trigger mechanism operates in two main modes:
[0086] a) Continuous connection and active mode: When there is at least one person on the bed or crib, the sensors are continuously connected and active, in this mode the system is fully operational, continuously monitoring and collecting data;
[0087] b) Low power sensing mode: When there is no one on the bed or crib, the sensors switch to low power sensing mode, in this state the power consumption of the sensors is minimized to save energy.
[0088] By transitioning to low power sensing mode when no one is lying on the bed, the system optimizes power usage. This is important for improving energy efficiency and extending the life of the system's power source, whether it's a device power supply or a battery. The system uses an activity detection or occupancy detection trigger to initiate full functionality. This means that when a person enters the bed or crib, the sensors are quickly triggered and start monitoring. This ensures that data collection is initiated when it is most relevant. The system is designed to focus its full functionality on when a person is present on the bed or crib. This targeted operation enables efficient data collection and event detection when it matters most. Automatically triggering and deactivating the sensors based on occupancy improves the user experience. Users do not need to manually control the system, as it adapts to their presence and activity. By reducing power consumption during periods of inactivity, the system can save resources and help achieve more sustainable and cost-effective operation.
[0089] The occupancy feature of the radar enables the ceiling fan to be turned off when the room is unoccupied, thereby saving energy and extending the life of the ceiling fan.
[0090] In one aspect of the present invention, once the operation of the sensor system is triggered, it involves a wide range of functions, which are designed to comprehensively monitor and detect various aspects related to the individual in the bed and the area around it. The operation of the system of the present invention is described in detail below:
[0091] The sensor system can identify and track individuals in the monitored area, whether it is a single person, a couple or multiple people;
[0092] The system monitors and analyzes the posture and activity of the detected targets, determining their precise position and center of gravity, this information is very valuable for understanding the position and behavior of the individual;
[0093] The system classifies the detected targets into different groups, including adults, young children, babies and potentially other categories, this classification is crucial for distinguishing individuals with different health and safety needs;
[0094] The system analyzes the individual's posture, posture transitions, activity, and level of agitation, which provides insights into sleep patterns and sleep quality;
[0095] Recognizing when a person is standing is important for assessing mobility and activity level; the system can also detect walking, which is important for understanding the person's activity, level of movement, and direction.
[0096] The sensor system's operation in the embodiments of the present utility model is designed to provide a comprehensive monitoring and detection capability, encompassing everything from recognizing individuals to classifying them according to age and behavior. The system's ability to monitor activity and posture helps enhance health and safety, making it particularly valuable in healthcare and high-care environments. In addition, the system can generate alerts based on specific events, ensuring a timely response to emergencies.
[0097] In another embodiment, the system of the present utility model includes an on-chip radar (ROC) sensor module, referred to as a "radar module," which is integrated into a ceiling fan or other device, enhancing the system's functionality. Integration can take one of the following two forms:
[0098] In this configuration, the ROC sensor module is an integrated and built-in part of the device's electronic design. This means it is seamlessly integrated during the manufacturing process and becomes an inherent feature of the device;
[0099] Alternatively, the ROC sensor module can be a standalone unit connected to the device. This configuration enables flexibility in installation and positioning, as the radar module can be connected to the device or placed nearby to optimize monitoring coverage.
[0100] The ROC sensor module is essential for high-precision activity and presence detection. It emits millimeter-wave signals and analyzes reflections, providing detailed information about the individual's posture, level of agitation, position, and activity. The integration of radar technology significantly enhances the system's monitoring capabilities. It can even detect subtle movements and changes in the monitored area. The radar module contributes to occupancy detection and tracking. This is particularly valuable for understanding the presence and activity of humans within the bed area. The radar module (radar sensor) can adapt to different room layouts and configurations, as it offers flexibility in installation. Whether inherent (built-in integration within the device) or standalone, it can optimize the sensor system's coverage to accommodate various monitoring scenarios.
[0101] Radar module antenna cover integration is an important design feature of the system, allowing seamless integration of radar technology without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of the ceiling fan or similar device. The system includes a decorative antenna cover designed to wrap around the radar module. The antenna cover acts as a protective and aesthetic cover for the radar technology. It can be seamlessly integrated into the design of the device without adversely affecting the established configuration. The antenna cover can be incorporated with existing components, such as a light cover, plastic housing, or similar design, without causing any harmful effects. The decorative antenna cover serves to protect the radar module from physical damage, dust, and other environmental factors. This protection ensures the service life and reliability of the radar technology.

In addition, it also provides personalized recommendations for optimizing the sleep environment, including specific adjustments to the ceiling fan speed and airflow direction, ensuring that the system not only monitors but also actively contributes to enhancing the overall sleep experience.
[0107] Figure 1 An example of the working of the health monitoring system (100) of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model is shown. In this system, the person (101) in the room is continuously monitored by using a radar module (radar sensor) installed inside the ceiling fan (102). The ceiling fan control assembly (103) serves as the central interface for communication with the radar module. This communication can collect comprehensive data related to the presence and activity of the human being. The collected data is then processed and can be used for various applications, including assessing sleep quality and implementing measures. The radar module is integrated into the ceiling fan, ensuring an unobtrusive and effective method for monitoring individuals and improving their well-being.
[0108] The sensor system of the present embodiment is designed to comprehensively monitor and enhance the sleep quality, comfort, health, and safety of individuals. The sensor system employs a radar sensor integrated into a ceiling fan or similar device, strategically positioned to detect and classify the sleep state, posture, and restlessness level of individuals in the room; it has a data processing unit for analyzing the radar monitoring data, converting it into different objects, and classifying the objects into groups such as "adult," "toddler," "infant," and "other" through algorithms.

[0110] Figure 2 Another working example of the sleep monitoring system (200) of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model is shown. The system monitors individuals located within or around a bed or a crib, whether adult, child, or infant. The innovative system combines advanced sensor and radar technology into a traditional ceiling fan (201) or similar device located above a bed or crib. This retrofit enhances the functionality of the ceiling fan to provide comprehensive monitoring and control functions, particularly for individuals located within or around the bed. A radar sensor module is integrated into the ceiling fan with a communication module (device) to allow communication, thereby using transmitted and received radar waves or echoes (202, 204) to enhance the monitoring and control capabilities. The radar module detects the presence and movement of nearby individuals, enabling the ceiling fan to adjust its operation based on occupancy (human presence), such as adjusting the speed of the ceiling fan or starting or stopping the ceiling fan in response to the presence of individual 203.
