[0031] This utility model embodiment provides a gateway integrating vital signs and sleep monitoring, including a charging base 1 and a gateway body 2. The gateway body 2 is equipped with a UWB radar 201. During installation, the charging base 1 is connected to an external power source and placed on a bedside table near the human body (the recommended distance is 50-80cm). The height of the charging base 1 corresponds to the chest of the human body when lying flat. The gateway body 2 is placed on the charging base 1, ensuring that the first charging contact 102 and the second charging contact 202 are electrically connected, thereby supplying power to the gateway body 2 through the charging base 1. The position of the charging base 1 is adjusted to ensure that the sensing area of ​​the UWB radar 201 of the gateway body 2 is aligned with the chest of the human body, and that there are no obstructions between the gateway body 2 and the human body. In use, after the gateway 2 is powered on, it first connects to the mobile application via the communication module, activating the UWB radar 201. The UWB radar 201 continuously emits monitoring signals towards the human chest, then receives the echo signals reflected from the human body and sends them to the control device. The control device performs real-time analysis and processing of the echo signals to obtain the corresponding respiratory rate and heart rate. Based on the obtained respiratory rate and heart rate, it determines the user's vital signs and sleep status. The control device transmits the analysis results to the mobile application in real-time via the communication module. The user can view detailed monitoring data and historical records through the mobile application, enabling remote monitoring and management. Additionally, the control device can connect to medical and health devices with Bluetooth or other communication modules, such as blood pressure and pulse oximeters, blood glucose meters, and electrocardiographs, through the communication module, thereby enabling more comprehensive monitoring of the user's vital sign data. The data is then aggregated, analyzed, and transmitted to the mobile application for unified management.

In addition, when the gateway body 2 is turned on, the lighting device 3 automatically turns on when the gateway body 2 is removed from the charging base 1 to provide temporary lighting for the user's nighttime movement. After the gateway body 2 is placed back on the charging base 1 and the first charging contact 102 and the second charging contact 202 are reconnected, the lighting device 3 automatically turns off to continue monitoring the human body's vital signs and ensure data continuity.

[0034] In a further embodiment of this invention, the power supply area 101 is provided with a receiving groove 103, and the first charging contact 102 is provided in the receiving groove 103.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power supply area 101 is provided with a receiving slot 103. During use, the gateway body 2 is placed inside the receiving slot 103 to ensure stable fixation and prevent accidental movement that could affect monitoring accuracy. Furthermore, when the gateway body 2 is removed at night for temporary lighting and then placed back onto the power supply area 101, the receiving slot 103 is designed with an automatic calibration function. This facilitates operation at night, especially for elderly users, ensuring accurate repositioning of the gateway body 2 and maintaining the accuracy and continuity of monitoring data.

[0036] In a further embodiment of this example, the bottom of the gateway body 2 has a first support portion 203, the second side of the gateway body 2 protrudes outward to form a support protrusion 204, the bottom of the support protrusion 204 has a second support portion 205, and the second charging contact 202 is provided on the second support portion 205.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom of the gateway body 2 has a first support portion 203, and the back of the gateway body 2 protrudes outward to form a support protrusion 204. The bottom of the support protrusion 204 has a second support portion 205. Both the first support portion 203 and the second support portion 205 are located within the receiving groove 103 and cooperate to form a stable support, ensuring that the gateway body 2 is placed securely and preventing shaking from interfering with monitoring data. Furthermore, when the gateway body 2 is removed, the first support portion 203 and the second support portion 205 cooperate to form a stable support, making it easy for users to place it on a flat surface and improving operational convenience. The second charging contact 202 is located at the bottom of the support protrusion 204. Simply placing the gateway body 2 accurately within the receiving groove 103 of the power supply area 101 enables automatic charging without the need for a separate charging cable, simplifying the operation process, facilitating operation at night, and making it easier for the elderly to operate independently, thus improving the user experience.

[0038] In a further embodiment of this example, the receiving groove 103 is provided with a first positioning groove 104 and a second positioning groove 105. The position of the first positioning groove 104 corresponds to the position of the first support part 203, and the position of the second positioning groove 105 corresponds to the position of the second support part 205.

[0039] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 103 is provided with a first positioning groove 104 and a second positioning groove 105. The shape and position of the first positioning groove 104 correspond to the shape and position of the first support part 203, and the shape and position of the second positioning groove 105 correspond to the shape and position of the second support part 205. A first magnetic suction member is provided at the second support part 205, and a second magnetic suction member is provided in the second positioning groove 105. When the gateway body 2 is placed in the receiving groove 103, it can only be fully embedded when the first support part 203 is aligned with the first positioning groove 104, the second support part 205 is aligned with the second positioning groove 105, and the first magnetic suction member and the second magnetic suction member are attracted to each other. This ensures that the second charging contact 202 of the gateway body 2 is accurately connected with the first charging contact 102 in the receiving groove 103, avoiding charging failure caused by misoperation, further improving the safety and reliability of the device, and also making it easier for the elderly to complete the operation in dim environments. By setting the first magnetic suction member and the second magnetic suction member, auxiliary alignment can be performed, making the gateway body more accurate during placement and also enhancing the stability during use.
