[0063] A temperature of the article of furniture (e.g., the bed device, such as the mattress, the mattress pad, pillow, or the blanket.) may be controlled (e.g., increasing, decreasing, or maintaining the temperature of the bed). A temperature of at least a portion of the article of furniture may be controlled. The temperature of the article of furniture may be adjustable or maintained prior to, during, or subsequent to a use (e.g., sleeping or resting for a period of time) by the user(s). In an example, the bed may be pre-warmed (e.g., automatically or per user preference) prior to the use by the user(s). In some cases, temperatures or two or more portions of the article of furniture (e.g., the bed) may be controlled separately or in sync.

[0064] The article of furniture (e.g., the bed) may use one or more sensors and / or one or more computer systems to detect sensing data (e.g., one or more biological signals) associated with the user. For example, the sensing data can be utilized to estimate or determine a condition of state of the user prior to, during, or subsequent to using the article of furniture (e.g., determine sleep phase, sleep pattern, disease, disorder, snoring, etc. of the user). The sensor(s) may or may not be a part of the article of furniture. The sensor( s) may be part of the article of furniture. Thesensor(s) may be a part of a space (e.g., room) surrounding the article of furniture. The sensor(s) may be worn by the user(s). Non-limiting examples of a sensor can include a capacitance sensor, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a piezoelectric sensor, sound sensor (e.g., a microphone), accelerometer, liquid pressure sensor, etc. The sensing data can be utilized (e.g., analyzed), at least in part, to determine (i) how to adjust a position of at least a portion of an adjustable bed frame and / or (ii) how to regulate temperature of the article of furniture prior to, during, and subsequent to the user’s use of the article of furniture. In some cases, the sensor(s) may be used to detect a property (e.g., temperature, movement, etc.) of the article of furniture or such property of an environment surrounding the article of furniture. The sensor(s) of the article of furniture (e.g., coupled to, integrated into, embedded into, etc.) as provided herein can detect the sensing data when in contact (e.g., direct or indirect contact) with the subject or when not in contact with the subject.

[0065] The article of furniture can comprise from about one zone to about 20 zones. In some cases, the article of furniture can comprise at least or up to about one zone, at least or up to about two zones, at least or up to about three zones, at least or up to about four zones, at least or up to about, five zones, at least or up to about six zones, at least or up to about seven zones, at least or up to about eight zones, at least or up to about nine zones, at least or up to about ten zones, at least or up to about 11 zones, at least or up to about 12 zones, at least or up to about 13 zones, at least or up to about 14 zones, at least or up to about 15 zones, at least or up to about 16 zones, at least or up to about 17 zones, at least or up to about 18 zones, at least or up to about 19 zones, or at least or up to about 20 zones. In some cases, each zone of the one or more zones can comprise a temperature control unit. In some cases, a temperature of each zone of the one or more zones can be adjusted independently.

[0066] In some embodiments, the sensor(s) of the article of furniture can be disposed within a portion of the article of furniture that corresponds to a target bodily portion of the user, such as head, arms, legs, torso, upper body, lower body, etc.

[0067] The term “sleep phase,” as used herein, can refer to a light sleep, deep sleep, or rapid eye movement (“REM”) sleep. There can be two major stages of sleep: a non -REM sleep and a REM sleep. A person can experience a non-REM sleep first, followed by a shorter period of REM sleep. In some cases, the person can experi ence a continued cycle of the non-REM sleep and the REM sleep. There may be three stages of non-REM sleep. Each stage can last from 5 to 15 minutes. The person can go through all three stages before reaching REM sleep. In stage one, the person's eyes may be closed, but the person may be easily woken up. This stage may last for5 to 10 minutes. This stage may be considered as a light sleep. In stage two, the person may be in light sleep. The person's heart rate may slow and the person's body temperature may drop. The person's body may be getting ready for deep sleep. This stage may also be considered as a light sleep. Stage three may be a deep sleep phase. The person may be harder to rouse during this stage, and if the person was woken up, the person would feel disoriented for a few minutes. During the deep stage of the non-REM sleep, the body may repair and regrow tissues, build bone and muscle, and strengthen the immune system. The REM sleep can happen 90 minutes after a person falls asleep. In some cases, the person may have dreams during the REM sleep. An initial period of the REM sleep may typically last 10 minutes. Any latter period of the REM sleep may get longer, and the final period of the REM sleep may last up to about an hour. The person's heart rate and respiration may quicken during the REM sleep (e.g., during the final period of the REM sleep). The person may have intense dreams during the REM sleep, since the brain is more active. The REM sleep may affect learning of certain mental skills.

[0068] A “sleep pattern”, as used herein, can indicate a recurrence or change in (i) one or more biological signals and / or (i) one or more sleep phases of the user of the bed. The sleep pattern may be described over a period of time (e.g., 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, etc.), along with a count of the biological signal(s) or the sleep phase(s). The sleep pattern may comprise a preferred setting of the biological signal(s) or sleep phase(s) of the user. The preferred setting of the biological signal(s) may comprise a type of the biological signal(s), along with a preferred value or range of values of the biological signal(s) (e.g., a preferred body temperature or range of body temperature of the user). The preferred setting of the sleep phase(s) may comprise a type of the sleep phase(s), along with a preferred value or range of values of the sleep phase(s)

[0069] A disorder of a user can be a sleep disorder. Non-limiting examples of the sleep disorder may include dyssonmias, such as insomnia, primary hypersomnia (e.g., narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, recurrent hypersomnia, posttraumatic hypersomnia, menstrual -related hypersomnia), sleep disordered breathing (e.g., sleep apnea, snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, a common cold), circadian rhythm sleep disorders (e.g., delayed sleep phase disorder, advanced sleep phase disorder, non-24-hour sleep-w?ake disorder), parasomnias (e.g., bedwetting, bruxism, catathrenia, exploding head syndrome, sleep terror, REM sleep behavior disorder, sleep talking), jet lag, restless legs syndrome, etc.

[0070] In some embodiments, the article of furniture can be a bed (e.g., a mattress or a mattress cover), and the temperature of the bed can be controlled (e.g., based at least in part onthe sensing data) to assist the user(s) to fail asleep, assist the user to wake up from sleeping, promote enhanced sleep quality, treat or ameliorate the disorder of the user while sleeping, etc. In some embodiments, the article of furniture can be a bed device. In some cases, the bed device can be a mattress, a mattress cover, a bed sheet, a pillow7, a pillow cover, or any combination thereof.

[0071] In some embodiments, the system can comprise a sensor unit configured to detect one or more sensing data (e.g., one or more biological signals or absence thereof) associated with one or more users of the system (e.g., of the article of furniture comprising the system). The sensor unit can comprise a single sensor or a plurality of sensors that are the same or different. The sensor unit can be disposed on the top surface of the bed device. In some cases, a first sensor unit comprising a first type of sensor for detecting a first type of sensing data (e.g., a capacitance sensor and / or a temperature sensor) can be disposed on the top surface of the bed device, while a second sensor unit comprising a second type of sensor for detecting a second type of sensing data (e.g., a pressure sensor such as a piezo sensor) can be disposed under the bottom surface of the bed device. For example, a sensor with high sensitivity (e.g., capacitive sensor) can be disposed on the top surface of the bed device, while a sensor that is bulky (e.g., a pressure sensor such as a piezo sensor) can be disposed under the bottom surface of the bed device, e.g., to reduce discomfort to the user during use of the system as provided herein.

[0072] In some embodiments, the sensor unit (e.g., disposed on top of the bed device) can be a flexible sensor unit. The sensor unit can comprise a material (e.g., a polymeric material) that is flexible and / or can be made into a shape / geometry (e.g., a serpentine shape) to allow a degree of mechanical flexibility. Examples of such material can include an electrically conductive fabric (e.g., fabric coated with a conductive metal layer, such as silver, copper, or nickel), flexible printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), etc. The PCBA can comprise a polymeric substrate such as polyamide substrate.

The processor 100 determines, based on the bio signals associated w7ith the user, historical bio signals associated with the user,user-specified preferences, exercise data associated with the user, or the environment properties received, a control signal, and a time to send the control signal to a bed device 120 to adjust one or more properties of the bed device or supporting surface.

[0074] According to one embodiment, the processor 100 is connected to a database 180, which stores the biological signals associated with a user. Additionally, the database 180 can store average biological signals associated with the user, history of biological signals associated with a user, etc. In one embodiment, the database 180 can store a user profile which contains user preferences associated with an adjustable bed frame. In some embodiments, the processor can instruct the bed device and / or the supporting surface (e.g., adjustable base) to adjust one or more properties of the bed device. In some cases, the one or more properties of the bed device can be a temperature of at least one zone of the bed device, a position of at least one zone of the bed device, a power outlet of one or more actuators (e.g., motors) of the adjustable base, a motion of the adjustable base, or any combination thereof.

[0075] FIG. 2A illustrates an example of the bed device of FIG. 1, according to one embodiment. A sensor strip 210, associated with a mattress 200 of the bed device 120, monitors bio signals associated with a user sleeping on the mattress 200. The sensor strip 210 can be built into the mattress 200, or can be part of a bed pad device.

[0076] Alternatively, the sensor strip 210 can be a part of any other piece of furniture, such as a rocking chair, a couch, an armchair, etc. The sensor strip 210 comprises a temperature sensor, or a piezo sensor. The environment sensor 220 measures environment properties such as temperature, sound, light or humidity. According to one embodiment, the environment sensor 220 is associated with the environment surrounding the mattress 200. The sensor strip 210 and the environment sensor 220 communicate the measured environment properties to the processor 230.

[0077] A microphone 235 is placed proximate to the user. The microphone 235 records a sound associated with the user. The microphone 235 can be disposed within the mattress 200, a pillow, a cover, the sensor strip 210, the power supply box, etc.

[0078] In some embodiments, the processor 230 can be similar to the processor 100 of FIG. 1. A processor 230 can be connected to the sensor strip 210, or the environment sensor 220 by a computer bus, such as an I2C bus. Also, the processor 230 can be connected to the sensor strip 210, or the environment sensor 220 by a communication network. By vvay of example, the communication network connecting the processor 230 to the sensor strip 210 or the environment sensor 220 includes one or more networks such as a data network, a wireless network, atelephony network, or any combination thereof. The data network may be any local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN), a public data network (e.g., the Internet), short range wireless network, or any other suitable packet-switched network, such as a commercially owned, proprietary packet-switched network, e.g., a proprietary cable or fiber-optic network, and the like, or any combination thereof. In addition, the wireless network may be, for example, a cellular network and may employ various technologies including enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE), general packet radio service (GPRS), global system for mobile communications (GSM), Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), etc., as well as any other suitable wireless medium, e.g., worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth®, Internet Protocol (IP) data casting, satellite, mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), and the like, or any combination thereof.

[0079] The processor 230 is any type of microcontroller, or any processor in a mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, station, unit, device, multimedia computer, multimedia tablet, Internet node, cloud computer, communicator, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, netbook computer, tablet computer, personal communication system (PCS) device, personal navigation device, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video player, digital camera / camcorder, positioning device, television receiver, radio broadcast receiver, electronic book device, game device, the accessories and peripherals of these devices, or any combination thereof.

[0080] FIG. 2B is an adjustable bed frame 250 associated with the bed device, according to one embodiment. The adjustable bed frame includes a plurality of adjustable sections 240-246. The adjustable bed frame has a rest position, as seen in FIG. 2A, where all the adjustable sections 240-246 are at 0 height, and at 0° angle. The rest position corresponds to the horizontal position of a regular bed. The position associated with each adjustable section 240-246 includes a height relative to the rest position, and an angle relative to the rest position. Adjustable section 240 corresponds to the head, adjustable section 242 corresponds to the back, adjustable section 244 corresponds to the legs, and adjustable section 246 corresponds to the feet. There can be more adjustable sections according to various embodiments. The position of each adjustable section 240-246 can be adjusted independently.

[0081] The adjustable bed frame 250 is coupled to the processor 230. The processor 230 is configured to identify the user based on at least one of: the heart rate associated with the user, the breathing rate associated with the user, or the motion associated with the user, because each user has a unique heart rate, breathing rate, and motion. The processor 230 can also identify the user by receiving from a user device associated with the user an identification (ID) associated with the user. For example, the user can specify the user ID of the person sleeping on the sensor strip. If there are multiple sensor strips and / or multiple sensor, the user can specify the ID of the person associated with each sensor strip and / or each sensor. The processor 230, after identifying the user, retrieves from the database 180 a history’ of biological signals associated with a user. The history of biological signals comprises a normal biological signal range, such as a normal heart rate range associated with said user, a normal breathing rate range associated with said user, and a normal motion range associated with said user. The normal biological signal range includes an average heart rate associated with the user, an average breathing rate associated with the user, and an average motion associated with the user. The average biological signal includes an average high signal and an average low signal. For example, the average high signal includes the average high heart rate associated with the user, the average high breathing rate associated with a user, or the average high rate of motion associated with the user. The average low signal includes the average low heart rate associated with the user, the average low breathing rate associated with a user, or the average low rate of motion associated with a user. In addition, based on the heart rate, the breathing rate, and the motion, the processor 230 determines the sleep phase associated with the user. The processor 230 can then calculate the normal bio signal range associated with a particular sleep phase.

[0082] The bio signals associated with a user include an amplitude and a frequency. The processor 230 determines a normal range of frequencies associated with the heart rate, the breathing rate, or the motion. The processor 230 determines a normal range of amplitudes and frequencies associated with the heart rate, the breathing rate or the motion. The processor 230 determines the current amplitude and the current frequency associated with the current biological signal. When the current frequency associated with a biological signal is outside of the normal frequency range, the processor 230 detects a discrepancy. The processor 230 determines which sleeping disorder the discrepancy is indicative of, such as snoring, sleep apnea, or restless leg. For example, the processor 230 can determine whether the breathing rate contains sequences outside of the normal breathing rate frequency range, and determine that the user is snoring.Similarly, the processor 230 can determine that the motion rate contains a frequency outside of the normal motion frequency range, and determine that the user is suffering from restless leg.

[0083] When a sleeping disorder is detected, the processor 230 sends a control signal to the adjustable bed frame to heighten or to lower an adjustable section associated with the bed frame. For example, if the processor 230 detects that the user is snoring or has sleep apnea, the processor 230 sends a control signal to the adjustable bed frame to heighten the adjustable section 240, corresponding to the head. If the processor 230 detects that the user has a restless leg, the processor 230 sends a control signal to the adjustable bed frame to heighten the adjustable section 246, corresponding to the feet.

[0084] According to another embodiment, the processor 230 determines whether the user has fallen asleep while the bed is in the upright position, for example, when the user has fallen asleep while watching TV. If the user has fallen asleep and the bed is not in the rest position, the processor 230 sends a control signal to the adjustable frame to assume the rest position.

[0085] According to one embodiment, the user can specify the preferred position of the adjustable bed frame when a bio signal discrepancy is detected. The user's preferred position is stored in a user profile in the database 180. For example, the user can specify the height and inclination of each of the adjustable sections 240-246 for each detected problem. For example, the user-specified height and inclination of each of the adjustable sections 240-246 when snoring is detected can be different from the user-specified height and inclination of each of the adjustable sections 240-246 when sleep apnea is detected. In addition, a user can specify a rest position for the adjustable bed frame that is different from the default horizontal rest, position. The user-specified rest position can also be associated with the user profile and stored in the database 180.

[0086] FIG. 2C is an adjustable bed frame including a plurality' of zones, according to one embodiment. The adjustable bed frame includes a plurality of zones 260, 265 corresponding to a plurality of users. Each includes a plurality of adjustable sections. Zone 260 includes adjustable sections 270-276, and zone 265 includes adjustable sections 278-284. Each adjustable section can be adjusted independently. When the processor 230 detects a user in one of the zones, for example, zone 260, the processor 230 identifies the user based on the breathing rate, heart rate, or motion associated with a user. According to another embodiment, the computer processor receives the user ID associated with the user from a user device associated with the user. Based on the identification, the processor 230 retrieves from the database 180 the user profile.According to the user profile, the processor 230 adjusts the rest position of the zone 260 to matchthe user-specified rest position. When a sleeping disorder is detected, the processor 230 sends a control signal to adjust the bed frame to match the user-specified position.

[0088] FIG. 4A illustrates a user sensor 420, 440, 450, 470 placed on a sensor strip 400, according to one embodiment. In some embodiments, the user sensors 420, 440, 450, 470 can be similar to or part of the sensor strip 210 of FIG. 2. Sensors 470 and 440 comprise a piezo sensor, which can measure a bio signal associated with a user, such as the heart rate and the breathing rate. Sensors 450 and 420 comprise a temperature sensor. According to one embodiment, sensors 450 and 470 measure the bio signals associated with one user, while sensors 420, 440 measure the bio signals associated with another user. Analog-to-digital converter 410 converts the analog sensor signals into digital signals to be communicated to a processor 230. Computer buses 430 and 460, such as the I2C bus, communicate the digitized bio signals to a processor.

[0089] FIG. 4B illustrates a user sensor placed on a sensor strip according to another embodiment. The sensor strip 480 includes two sections 485, 490. Each sensor strip section 485, 490 includes a temperature sensor 405, 445, respectively, and a piezo sensor 415, 425, respectively. The temperature sensors 405, 445 and the piezo sensors 415, 425 are connected to the analog-to-digital converter 495 using wires 425, 435 respectively. The analog-to-digital converter 495 is placed on the side of the strip. In other embodiments, there can be multiple analog-to-digital converters placed on the strip, where the multiple analog-to-digital converters correspond to each sensor strip section 485, 490. In various embodiments, there can be a plurality' of sensors strips 480, 400 associated with the mattress 200.

[0090] According to one embodiment, even if the users switch sides of the bed, the system will correctly identify which user is sleeping in which zone by identifying the user based on any of the following signals alone, or in combination: heart rate, breathing rate, body motion, or body temperature associated with the user. The system can also identify the user by receiving from a user device associated with the user an identification (ID) associated with the user. For example, the user can specify the user ID of the person sleeping on the sensor strip. If there are multiple sensor strips and / or multiple sensor, the user can specify the ID of the person associated with each sensor strip and / or each sensor.

[0091] hi another embodiment, the power supply associated with the heating coil 600 is divided into a plurality of zones, each power supply zone corresponding to a subzone 620, 630, 640, 650, 670, 680, 690, 695, The user can control the temperature of each subzone 620, 630, 640, 650, 670, 680, 690, 695 independently. Further, each user can independently specify the temperature preferences for each of the subzones. Even if the users switch sides of the bed, the system will correctly identify the user, and the preferences associated with the user by identifying the user based on any of the following signals alone, or in combination: heart rate, breathing rate, body motion, or body temperature associated with the user. According to another embodiment, if the users switch sides of the bed, the system receives the user ID of the new user from a user device associated with the user, and retrieves the preferences associated with the user.

[0092] FIGS. 6B and 6C illustrate the independent control of the different subzones in each zone 610, 660, according to one embodiment, A set of uniform coils 611, connected to power management box 601, uniformly heats or cools the bed. Another set of coils, targeting specific areas of the body such as the neck, the back, the legs, or the feet, is layered on top of the uniform coils 611. Subzone 615 heats or cools the neck. Subzone 625 heats or cools the back. Subzone 635 heats or cools the legs, and subzone 645 heats or cools the feet. Power is distributed to the coils via duty cycling of the power supply 605. Contiguous sets of coils can be heated or cooled at different levels by assigning the power supply duty cycle to each set of coils. The user can control the temperature of each subzone independently.

[0093] At block 720, the process determines the control signal and the time to send a control signal. At block 730, the process sends the control signal to the bed device. For example, if the user is in bed, the bed temperature is low7, and the ambient light is low, the process sends a control signal to the bed device. The control signal comprises an instruction to heat the bed device to the average nightly temperature associated with the user. According to another embodiment, the control signal comprises an instruction to heat the bed device to a user-specified temperature. Similarly, if the user is in bed, the bed temperature is high, and the ambient light is low, the process sends a control signal to the bed device to cool the bed device to the average nightly temperature associated with the user. According to another embodiment, the control signal comprises an instruction to cool the bed device to a user-specified temperature.

[0094] In another embodiment, in addition to obtaining the biological signal associated with the user, and the environment property, the process obtains a history of biological signals associated with the user. The history of biological signals can be stored in a database associated with the bed device, or in a database associated with a user. The history' of biological signalscomprises the average bedtime the user went to sleep for each day of the week; that is, the history of biological signals comprises the average bedtime associated with the user on Monday, the average bedtime associated with the user on Tuesday, etc. For a given day of the week, the process determines the average bedtime associated with the user for that day of the week, and sends the control signal to the bed device, allowing enough time for the bed to reach the desired temperature, before the average bedtime associated with the user. The control signal comprises an instruction to heat, or cool the bed to a desired temperature. The desired temperature may be automatically determined, such as by averaging the historical nightly temperature associated with a user, or the desired temperature may be specified by the user.Bio Signal Processing

[0095] The technology disclosed here categorizes the sleep phase associated with a user as light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep. Light sleep comprises stage one and stage two sleep. The technology performs the categorization based on the breathing rate associated with the user, heart rate associated with the user, motion associated with the user, and body temperature associated with the user. Generally, when the user is awake the breathing is erratic. When the user is sleeping, the breathing becomes regular. The transition between being awake and sleeping is quick, and lasts less than 1 minute.

[0096] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the process for turning off an appliance, according to one embodiment. At block 500, the process obtains the compound bio signal associated with the user. The compound bio signal comprises the heart rate associated with the user, and the breathing rate associated with the user. According to one embodiment, the process obtains the compound bio signal from a sensor associated with the user. At block 510, the process extracts the heart rate signal from the compound bio signal by, for example, performing low-pass filtering on the compound bio signal. Also, at block 520, the process extracts the breathing rate signal from the compound bio signal by, for example, performing bandpass filtering on the compound bio signal. At block 530, the process obtains an environment property, comprising temperature, humidity, light, or sound from an environment sensor associated with the sensor strip. Based on the environment property and the sleep state associated with the user, at block 540, the process determines whether the user is sleeping. If the user is sleeping, the process, at block 550, turns an appliance off. For example, if the user is asleep and the environment temperature is above the average nightly temperature, the process turns off the thermostat. Further, if the user is asleep and the lights are on, the process turns off the lights. Similarly, if the user is asleep and the TV is on, the process turns off the TV.Smart Home

[0097] FIG. 6 is a diagram of a system capable of automating the control of the home appliances, according to one embodiment. Any number of user sensors 640, 650 monitor biological signals associated with the user, such as temperature, motion, presence, heart rate, or breathing rate. Any number of environment sensors 660, 670 monitor environment properties, such as temperature, sound, light, or humidity. According to one embodiment, the environment sensors 660, 670 are placed next to a bed. The user sensors 640, 650 and the environment sensors 660, 670 communicate their measurements to the processor 610. The processor 610 determines, based on the current biological signals associated with the user, historical biological signals associated with the user, user-specified preferences, exercise data associated with the user, and the environment properties received, a control signal, and a time to send the control signal to an appliance 620, 630.

[0098] The processor 600 is any type of microcontroller, or any processor in a mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal including a mobile handset, station, unit, device, multimedia computer, multimedia tablet, Internet node, cloud computer, communicator, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, netbook computer, tablet computer, personal communication system (PCS) device, personal navigation device, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video player, digital camera / camcorder, positioning device, television receiver, radio broadcast receiver, electronic book device, game device, the accessories and peripherals of these devices, or any combination thereof.

[0099] The processor 600 can be connected to the user sensor 640, 650, or the environment sensor 660, 670 by a computer bus, such as an I2C bus. Also, the processor 600 can be connected to the user sensor 640, 650, or environment sensor 660, 670 by a communication network 610. By way of example, the communication network 610 connecting the processor 600 to the user sensor 640, 650, or the environment sensor 660, 670 includes one or more networks such as a data network, a wireless network, a telephony network, or any combination thereof. The data network may be any local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN), a public data network (e.g., the Internet), short range wireless network, or any other suitable packet-switched network, such as a commercially owned, proprietary' packet- switched network, e.g., a proprietary cable or fiber-optic network, and the like, or any combination thereof. In addition, the wireless network may be, for example, a cellular network and may employ various technologies including enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE), general packet radio service (GPRS), global system for mobile communications (GSM),Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), etc., as well as any other suitable wireless medium, e.g., worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth®, Internet Protocol (IP) data casting, satellite, mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), and the like, or any combination thereof.

[0100] FIG. 7 is an illustration of the system capable of controlling an appliance and a home, according to one embodiment. The appliances that the system disclosed here can control, comprise an alarm, a coffee machine, a lock, a thermostat, a bed device, a humidifier, or a light. For example, if the system detects that the user has fallen asleep, the system sends a control signal to the lights to turn off, to the locks to engage, and to the thermostat to lower the temperature. According to another example, if the system detects that the user has woken up and it is morning, the system sends a control signal to the coffee machine to start making coffee.

[0101] FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the process for controlling an appli ance, according to one embodiment. In one embodiment, at block 800, the process obtains a history' of biological signals, such as at what time the user goes to bed on a particular day of the week (e.g., the average bedtime associated with the user on Monday, the average bedtime associated with the user on Tuesday, etc.). The history of biological signals can be stored in a database associated with the user, or in a database associated with the bed device. In another embodiment, at block 800, the process also obtains user-specified preferences, such as the preferred bed temperature associated with the user. Based on the history of biological signals and user-specified preferences, the process, at block 820, determines a control signal, and a time to send the control signal to an appliance. At block 830, the process determines whether to send a control signal to an appliance. For example, if the current time is within half an hour of the average bedtime associated with the user on that particular day of the week, the process, at block 840, sends a control signal to an appliance. For example, the control signal comprises an instruction to turn on the bed device, and the user-specified bed temperature. Alternatively, the bed temperature is determined automatically, such as by calculating the average nightly bed temperature associated with a user.

[0102] According to another embodiment, at block 800, the process obtains a current biological signal associated with a user from a sensor associated with the user. At block 810, the process also obtains environment data, such as the ambient, light., from an environment, sensor associated with a bed device. Based on the current biological signal, the process identifieswhether the user is asleep. If the user is asieep and the lights are on, the process sends an instruction to turn off the lights. In another embodiment, if the user is asleep, the lights are off, and the ambient light is high, the process sends an instruction to the blinds to shut. In another embodiment, if the user is asleep, the process sends an instruction to the locks to engage.

[0103] In another embodiment., the process, at block 800, obtains a history of biological signals, such as at what time the user goes to bed on a particular day of the week (e.g., the average bedtime associated with the user on Monday, the average bedtime associated with the user on Tuesday, etc. ). The history of biological signals can be stored in a database associated with the bed device, or in a database associated with a user. Alternatively, the user may specify a bedtime for the user for each day of the week. Further, the process obtains the exercise data associated with the user, such as the number of hours the user spent exercising, or the heart rate associated with the user during exercising. According to one embodiment, the process obtains the exercise data from a user phone, a wearable device, or a database associated with the user. Based on the average bedtime for that day of the week, and the exercise data during the day, the process, at block 820, determines the expected bedtime associated with the user that night. The process then sends an instruction to the bed device to heat to a desired temperature, before the expected bedtime. The desired temperature can be specified by the user, or can be determined automatically, based on the average nightly temperature associated with the user.

[0104] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the process for controlling an appliance, according to another embodiment. The process, at block 900, receives a current biological signal associated with the user, such as the heart rate, breathing rate, presence, motion, or temperature, associated with the user. Based on the current biological signal, the process, at block 910, identifies current sleep phase, such as light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep. The process, at block 920 also receives a current environment property value, such as the temperature, the humidity, the light, or the sound. The process, at block 930, accesses a database, which stores historical values associated with the environment property and the current sleep phase. That is, the database associates each sleep phase with an average historical value of the different environment properties. The database may be associated with the bed device, may be associated with the user, or may be associated with a remote server. The process, at block 940, then calculates a new average of the environment property based on the current value of the environment property and the historical value of the environment property, and assigns the new average to the current sleep phase in the database. If there is a mismatch between the current value of the environment property, and the historical average, the process, at block 950, regulates the current value to match the historicalaverage. For example, the environment property can be the temperature associated with the bed device. The database stores the average bed temperature corresponding to each of the sleep phases, light sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep. If the current bed temperature is below the historical average, the process sends a control signal to increase the temperature of the bed to match the historical average.Monitoring of Biological Signals

[0105] Biological signals associated with a person, such as a heart rate or a breathing rate, indicate the person's state of health. Changes in the biological signals can indicate an immediate onset of a disease, or a long-term trend that increases the risk of a disease associated with the person. Monitoring the biological signals for such changes can predict the onset of a disease, can enable calling for help when the onset of the disease is immediate, or can provide advice to the person if the person is exposed to a higher risk of the disease in the long-term.

[0110] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a process for generating a notification based on a history of biological signals associated with a user, according to one embodiment. The process, at block 1100, obtains a history' of biological signals, such as the presence history, motion history, breathing rate history, or heart rate history, associated with the user. The history of biological signals can be stored in a database associated with a user. At block 1110, the process determines if there is an irregularity in the history of biological signals within a timeframe. If there is an irregularity, at block 1120, the process generates a notification to the user. The timeframe can be specified by the user, or the timeframe can be automatically determined based on the type of irregularity. For example, the heart rate associated with the user goes up within a one day timeframe when the user is sick. According to one embodiment, the process detects an irregularity, specifically, that a daily heart rate associated with the user is higher than normal.Consequently, the process warns the user that the user may be getting sick. According to another embodiment, the process detects an irregularity, such as that an elderly user is spending at least 10% more time in bed per day over the last several days, than the historical average. The process generates a notification to the elderly user, or to the elderly user's caretaker, such as how much more time the elderly user is spending in bed. In another embodiment, the process detects an irregularity such as an increase in resting heart rate, by more than 15 beats per minute, over a ten- year period. Such an increase in the resting heart rate doubles the likelihood that the user will die from a heart disease, compared to those people whose heart rates remained stable. Consequently, the process warns the user that the user is at risk of a heart disease.

[0111] FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a process for generating a comparison between a biological signal associated with a user and a target biological signal, according to one embodiment. The process, at block 1200, obtains a current biological signal associated with a user, such as presence, motion, breathing rate, temperature, or heart rate, associated with the user. The process obtains the current biological signal from a sensor associated with the user. The process, at block 1210, then obtains a target biological signal, such as a user-specified biological signal, a biological signal associated with a healthy user, or a biological signal associated with an athlete. According to one embodiment, the process obtains the target biological signal from a user, or a database storing biological signals. The process, at block 1220, compares the current bio signal associated with the user and the target bio signal, and generates a notification based on the comparison at block 1230. The comparison of the current bio signal associated with the user and the target bio signal comprises detecting a higher frequency in the current biological signal then in the target biological signal, detecting a lower frequency in the current biological signal than in the target biological signal, detecting higher amplitude in the current biological signal than in the target biological signal, or detecting lower amplitude in the current biological signal than in the target biological signal.

[0112] According to one embodiment, the process of FIG. 12 can be used to detect if an infant has a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome ("SIDS"). In SIDS victims less than one month of age, heart rate is higher than in healthy infants of the same age, during all sleep phases. SIDS victims greater than one month of age show higher heart rates during the REM sleep phase. In the case of monitoring an infant for a risk of SIDS, the process obtains the current bio signal associated with the sleeping infant, and a target biological signal associated with the heart rate of a healthy infant, where the heart rate is at the high end of a healthy heart rate spectrum. The process obtains the current bio signal from a sensor strip associated with the sleeping infant. Theprocess obtains the target biological signal from a database of biological signals. If the frequency of the biological signal of the infant exceeds the target biological signal, the process generates a notification to the infant's caretaker, that the infant is at higher risk of SIDS.

[0113] According to another embodiment, the process of FIG. 12 can be used in fitness training. A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute. Thus, a user may specify a target rest heart rate of 40 beats per minute. The process of FIG. 12 generates a comparison between the actual bio signal associated with the user and the target bio signal at block 1220, and based on the comparison, the process generates a notification whether the user has reached his target, or whether the user needs to exercise more, at block 1230.Adjustable Bed Device

or up to about 359°, or at least or up to about 360° relative to when the supporting surface is not moving.

[0160] In some embodiments, the rocking motion of the supporting surface can have a random pattern of movement. In some cases, the random pattern of movement can comprise random jolts of movement in any of the forms of movement disclosed herein.

[0161] In some embodiments, the supporting surface can have one or more preset rocking motion settings. In some cases, the one or more preset rocking motion settings can any of the rocking motions disclosed herein. In some cases, the one or more preset rocking motion settings can comprise a preset directionality of the rocking (e.g., in-plane, vertical, rotational). In some cases, the one or more preset rocking motion settings can comprise a preset amplitude of the rocking motion. In some cases, the preset amplitude of the rocking motion can comprise any of the amplitudes disclosed herein. In some cases, the one or more preset rocking motion settings can comprise a preset directionality of the rocking and a present amplitude of the rocking. In some cases, the user of the supporting surface can select a directionality of the rocking from the supporting surface control panel.

[0162] In some embodiments, the amplitude of the rocking can be automatically updated. In some cases, the amplitude of the rocking can be automatically updated based on the success of the rocking motion to cause the user to fall asleep. In some cases, the bed device collects data relating to length of time for the user of the bed device to fall asleep. In some cases, the beddevice collects data relating to length of time for the user of the bed device to fall asleep for about one day to about one month. In some cases, the bed device collects data relating to length of time for the user of the bed device to fall asleep for at least or up to about one day, at least or up to about two days, at least or up to about three days, at least or up to about four days, at least or up to about five days, at least or up to about six days, at least or up to about seven days, at least or up to about eight days, at least or up to about nine days, at least or up to about 10 days, at least or up to about 11 days, at least or up to about 12 days, at least or up to about 13 days, at least or up to about 14 days, at least or up to about 15 days, at least or up to about 16 days, at least or up to about 17 days, at least or up to about 18 days, at least or up to about 19 days, at least or up to about 20 days, at least or up to about 21 days, at least or up to about 22 days, at least or up to about 23 days, at least or up to about 24 days, at least or up to about 25 days, at least or up to about. 26 days, at least or up to about 27 days, at least or up to about. 28 days, at least or up to about 29 days, or at least or up to about 30 days. In some embodiments, the bed device can use the data collected to determine if the amplitude of the rocking of the supporting surface should be adjusted to decrease the length of time for the user of the bed device to fal l asleep.

[0163] In some cases, based on the data collected relating to the length of time for the user to fall asleep while using the one or more preset rocking settings, the amplitude of rocking can be adjusted. In some cases, if the user is taking a long time to fall asleep while using the one or more preset rocking settings, then the amplitude of the rocking of the one or more preset rocking settings can be decreased during the next use of the bed device. In some examples, if the user takes over 60 minutes to fall asleep while using the one or more preset rocking motions, then the amplitude of the rocking of the one or more preset rocking settings can be decreased during the next use of the bed device. In some cases, the amplitude of the rocking motion can automatically increase or decrease. In some cases, the amplitude of the rocking can be automatically decreased from about 0% to about 500%. In some cases, the amplitude of the rocking can be automatically decreased by at least or up to about 0%, at least or up to about 10%, at least or up to about 20%, at least or up to about 30%, at least or up to about 40%, at least or up to about 50%, at least or up to about 60%, at least or up to about 70%, at least or up to about 80%, at least or up to about 90%, at least or up to about 100%, at least or up to about 1 10%, at least or up to about 120%, at least or up to about 130%, at least or up to about 140%, at least or up to about 150%, at least or up to about 160%, at least or up to about. 170%, at least or up to about 180%, at least or up to about 190%, at least or up to about 200%, at least or up to about 210%, at least or up to about220%, at least or up to about 230%, at least or up to about 240%, at least or up to about 250%, at least or up to about 260%, at least or up to about 270%, at least or up to about 280%, at least or up to about 290%, at least or up to about 300%, at least or up to about 310%, at least or up to about 320%, at least or up to about 330%, at least or up to about 340%, at least or up to about 350%, at least or up to about 360%, at least or up to about 370%, at least or up to about 380%, at least or up to about 390%, at least or up to about 400%, at least or up to about 410%, at least or up to about 420%, at least or up to about 430%, at least or up to about 440%, at least or up to about 450%, at least or up to about 460%, at least or up to about 470%, at least or up to about 480%, at least or up to about 490%, or at least or up to about 500%.

[0164] hi some cases, if the user is falling asleep quickly while using the one or more preset rocking settings, then the amplitude of the of the one or more preset rocking settings can be increased during the next use of the bed device. In some cases, the amplitude of the rocking can be automatically increased from about 0% to about 500%. In some cases, the amplitude of the rocking can be automatically increased by at least or up to about 0%, at least or up to about 10%, at least or up to about 20%, at least or up to about 30%, at least or up to about 40%, at least or up to about 50%, at least or up to about 60%, at least or up to about 70%, at least or up to about 80%, at least or up to about 90%, at least or up to about 100%, at least or up to about 110%, at least or up to about 120%, at least or up to about 130%, at least or up to about 140%, at least or up to about 150%, at least or up to about 160%, at least or up to about 170%, at least or up to about 180%, at least or up to about 190%, at least or up to about 200%, at least or up to about 210%, at least or up to about 220%, at least or up to about. 230%, at least or up to about 240%, at least or up to about 250%, at least or up to about 260%, at least or up to about 270%, at least or up to about 280%, at least or up to about. 290%, at least or up to about 300%, at. least or up to about 310%, at least or up to about 320%, at least or up to about 330%, at least or up to about 340%, at least or up to about 350%, at least or up to about 360%, at least or up to about 370%, at least or up to about 380%, at. least or up to about 390%, at least or up to about 400%, at least or up to about 410%, at least or up to about 420%, at least or up to about 430%, at least or up to about 440%, at least or up to about 450%, at least or up to about 460%, at least or up to about 470%, at least or up to about 480%, at least or up to about 490%, or at least or up to about 500%.

[0165] In some embodiments, use of the one or more preset rocking settings can shorten the time needed for the user to fall asleep on the bed device. In some cases, the use of the one or more preset rocking settings can shorten the time needed for the user to fall asleep on the bed device by about 0% to about 500%. In some cases, the use of the one or more preset rockingsettings can shorten the time needed for the user to fall asleep on the bed device by at least or up to about 0%, at least or up to about 10%, at least or up to about 20%, at least or up to about 30%, at least or up to about 40%, at least or up to about 50%, at least or up to about 60%, at least, or up to about 70%, at least or up to about 80%, at least or up to about 90%, at least or up to about 100%, at least or up to about 110%, at least or up to about 120%, at least or up to about 130%, at least or up to about 140%, at least or up to about 150%, at least or up to about 160%, at least or up to about 170%, at least or up to about 180%, at least or up to about 190%, at least or up to about 200%, at least or up to about 210%, at least or up to about 220%, at least or up to about 230%, at least or up to about 240%, at least or up to about 250%, at least or up to about 260%, at least or up to about 270%, at least or up to about 280%, at least or up to about 290%, at least or up to about 300%, at least or up to about 310%, at least or up to about 320%, at least or up to about. 330%, at least or up to about 340%, at. least, or up to about 350%, at least or up to about 360%, at least or up to about 370%, at least or up to about 380%, at least or up to about 390%, at least or up to about 400%, at least or up to about 410%, at least or up to about. 420%, at least or up to about 430%, at least or up to about 440%, at least or up to about 450%, at least or up to about. 460%, at least or up to about 470%, at. least, or up to about 480%, at least or up to about 490%, or at least or up to about 500%.

[0166] In some embodiments, the one or more preset rocking settings can begin once the bed device detects that the user is on top of the bed device. In some embodiments, the one or more preset rocking settings can continue until the bed device determines that the user is asleep on top of the bed device. In some cases, the bed device can determine that the user is asleep on top of the bed device via detection of one or more biological signals from one or more sensors. In some cases, the one or more biological signals can include heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, body temperature, motion, presence, or any combinations thereof. In some cases, once the bed device determines that the user is asleep on top of the bed device, then the rocking of the supporting surface may be stopped. In some examples, once the bed device determines that, the user is asleep on top of the bed device, then the one or more preset rocking settings can be turned off (e.g., no rocking).

[0167] In some embodiments, the bed device can comprise one or more users. In some cases, a first user of the one or more users can place themselves on top of the bed device before a second user of the one or more users. In some cases, the first user of the one or more users can fall asleep prior to the second user placing themselves on top of the bed device. In some cases, when the second user places themselves on top of the bed device while the first user is sleeping.the supporting surface can turn on the one or more preset rocking settings. In some embodiments, the amplitude of the one or more preset settings can shorten the length of time required for the second user to fall asleep on the bed device. In some embodiments, the amplitude of the one or more preset settings may not wake up the first user of the bed device once the second user places themselves on top of the bed device.

[0168] In some embodiments, the bed device can detect if a user of the bed device wakes up. In some cases, the bed device can detect if the user of the bed device wakes up prior to a set alarm. In some cases, the bed device can detect if the user of the bed device wakes up prior to a preset wake-up time. In some cases, the bed device can detect if the user of the bed device wakes up prior to the set alarm or the preset wake-up time. In some examples, the set alarm or the preset wake-up time can be set by the user in the bed device app.

[0169] In some embodiments, when the bed device detects that a user is awake prior to the set alarm or the preset wake-up time, the one or more preset rocking settings can be automatically turned on. In some cases, the one or more preset rocking settings can decrease the length of time required for the user of the bed device to fall back asleep. In some cases, the use of the one or more preset rocking settings can shorten the time needed for the user to fall back asleep on the bed device by about 0% to about 500%. In some cases, the use of the one or more preset rocking settings can shorten the time needed for the user to fall back asleep on the bed device by at least or up to about 0%, at least or up to about 10%, at least or up to about 20%, at least or up to about 30%, at least or up to about 40%, at least or up to about 50%, at least or up to about. 60%, at least or up to about 70%, at least or up to about 80%, at least or up to about 90%, at least or up to about 100%, at least or up to about 110%, at least or up to about 120%, at least or up to about 130%, at least or up to about. 140%, at least or up to about 150%, at. least, or up to about 160%, at least or up to about 170%, at least or up to about 180%, at least or up to about 190%, at least or up to about 200%, at least or up to about 210%, at least or up to about 220%, at least or up to about 230%, at least or up to about 240%, at least or up to about 250%, at least or up to about 260%, at least or up to about 270%, at least or up to about 280%, at least or up to about 290%, at least or up to about 300%, at least or up to about 310%, at least or up to about 320%, at least or up to about 330%, at least or up to about 340%, at least or up to about 350%, at least or up to about. 360%, at least or up to about 370%, at least or up to about 380%, at least or up to about 390%, at least or up to about 400%, at least or up to about 410%, at least or up to about 420%, at least or up to about 430%, at least or up to about. 440%, at least or up to about450%, at least or up to about 460%, at least or up to about 470%, at least or up to about 480%, at least or up to about 490%, or at least or up to about 500%.

[0170] In some embodiments, once the bed device determines that the user has fallen back asleep, the one or more preset rocking settings can automatically be turned off.

[0171] In some cases, the supporting surface can be adjustable. In some cases, the supporting surface can have one or more zones. In some cases, the one or more zones of the supporting surfaces can be moved independently of each other. In some cases, the supporting surface can have from about one zone to about 10 zones. In some cases, the supporting surface can have at least or up to about one zone, at least or up to about two zones, at least or up to about three zones, at least or up to about four zones, at least or up to about five zones, at least or up to about six zones, at least or up to about seven zones, at least or up to about eight zones, at least or up to about, nine zones, or at least or up to about, ten zones. In some cases, each zone of the supporting surface can be moveable.

[0172] In some embodiments, the supporting surface can have at least four zones. In some embodiments, the at least four zones can comprise a zone for the head / neck of a user of the bed device, a zone for the torso of the user of the bed device, a zone for the legs of a user of the bed device, and a zone for the feet of the user of the bed device. In some cases, each zone of the at least four zones can move independently from the other zones. In some embodiments, each zone of the supporting surface can be moved at the same time. In some cases, each zone of the supporting surface can be moved at separate times.

[0173] In some embodiments, the supporting surface can have a baseline position. In some cases, the baseline position for the supporting surface can be the supporting surface is completely flat.. In some cases, the baseline position for the supporting surface can be 0° angle. In some embodiments, the supporting surface can be at the baseline position when the bed device is not in use. In some examples, when the supporting surface detects that no user is on the supporting surface, the supporting surface can automatically return to the baseline position. In some embodiments, when the user turns the bed device off, the supporting surface can return to the baseline position.

[0174] In some embodiments, the system can comprise the article of furniture comprising a sensor unit in a sensor zone of the article of furniture. The sensor unit, can be configured to, upon activation (e.g., via direct or indirect contact) by the user, control (i) the condition of the article of the furniture, (ii) the condition of the environment, (hi) the user device, and / or (iv) the other devices. In some embodiments, the user of the article of furniture can contact the sensor zone(e.g., tap one or more regions of the sensor zone, swipe over at least a portion of the sensor zone) to control (i) the condition of the article of furniture, (ii) the condition of the environment, (iii) the user device, and / or (iv) other devices, e.g., without having to utilize other devices (e.g., a remote control device of the article of furniture, a user device such as a mobile phone operatively coupled to the article of furniture, etc.). The sensor zone can be an area that is not in contact (e.g., physical contact) with the user during the user's normal use of the article of furniture. In some cases, when the use of the article of furniture requires the user to sit lay on top of the article of furniture, the sensor zone of the article of furniture may not be the portion of the article of furniture that is configured to be in contact with the user's feet, legs, torso, and / or head.

[0175] In some embodiments, the sensor unit can comprise one or more sensors, e.g., a single sensor, a plurality of sensors of the same type, a plurality of sensors of different types, etc. The sensor(s) can comprise a contact sensor or a touch sensor, which terms may be used interchangeably herein. A contact sensor can be capable of detecting contact and / or pressure (e.g., such as that of a hand of a user of the article of furniture). Non-limiting examples of a contact sensor can include a sensor capable of detecting changes in magnetism, conductivity, temperature, pressure, capacitance, and / or resistance. Alternatively or in addition to, the sensor(s) can comprise an accelerometer. The accelerometer can be configured to measure acceleration, vibration, and / or movement (e.g., such as that of a hand of a user of the article of furniture). Non-limiting examples of the accelerometer can include an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. In some cases, the sensor unit can comprise a plurality of sensors of different types, such as a capacitive sensor and an accelerometer.

[0200] In some embodiments, the rocking motion of the supporting surface can be along one or more axes selected from the group consisting of x, y, z, pitch, yaw, and roll. In some examples, x axis can be defined as the axis parallel to the group or the top surface of the bed device or adjustable base and relative to a side-to-side movement. In some examples, y axis can be defined as the axis parallel to the group or the top surface of the bed device or adjustable base and relative to a top-to-bottom movement. In some examples, z axis can be defined as the axis perpendicular to the group or the top surface of the mattress. In some examples, yaw axis can be defined as the rotational axis around the y axis. In some examples, pitch axis can be defined as the rotational axis around the x axis. In some examples, roll axis can be defined as the rotational axis around the z axis.
