Sleep enclosure assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sleep systems fail to provide a comprehensive, unobtrusive, and effective solution for regulating the various environmental factors that affect sleep quality, such as noise, light, temperature, and humidity, which are crucial for a restful sleep experience.
Innovation Solution
A sleep enclosure assembly with a retractable canopy that includes environmental control modules for sound, light, temperature, air quality, and humidity regulation, controlled by software on a computing device, allowing users to customize their sleep environment and deployable to fully or partially enclose the bed for optimal comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If individual environmental control devices are used separately, then specific environmental factors can be controlled, but comprehensive sleep environment regulation is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple environmental control functions (lighting, sound, temperature, humidity, air quality) into a single integrated sleep enclosure system. The housing contains multiple control modules that work together to regulate the sleep environment comprehensively, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices while achieving versatile environmental control.
Solution Approach 2:
The sleep enclosure assembly serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides environmental control, creates a enclosed sleep space, and integrates various regulation mechanisms. The system is designed to handle diverse environmental factors through a unified platform, making it a universal solution for sleep environment optimization.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a fully enclosed sleep environment is created, then environmental factors are effectively regulated, but the device becomes obtrusive and impractical
Solution Approach 1:
The control modules are nested within a compact housing that can be positioned close to the bed. The housing contains lighting modules, sound modules, climate control modules, and air quality modules in a space-efficient arrangement, creating the enclosed environment without requiring large or obtrusive structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a localized enclosed environment around the sleep area rather than requiring a large-scale structure. By focusing the enclosure in the immediate vicinity of the bed and using vertical positioning of the housing, the system achieves effective environmental control without occupying excessive horizontal space or being visually obtrusive.
3Adaptability or versatility
If environmental control modules are integrated into the sleep enclosure, then comprehensive regulation is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides environmental control into distinct modular components: lighting module, sound module, climate control module, and air quality module. Each module handles a specific environmental factor, allowing for independent optimization and maintenance while working together as an integrated system within the housing.

AI summary
A multi-functional enclosed sleep environment for providing an improved sleep experience. A sleep enclosure assembly may be configured to partially or fully enclose a user's sleep area or bed. The sleep enclosure assembly may be stored within a housing located proximate to a user's bed or sleep area, and may be fully or partially deployable such that the user's bed or sleep area is fully enclosed within a canopy of the sleep enclosure assembly. The sleep enclosure assembly may include one or more environmental control modules designed to control or regulate one or more aspects of the sleep area according to a user's preferences, including the sound, light, temperature, air quality, ventilation, and/or humidity of the sleeping environment. The sleep enclosure assembly may further be controlled by software running on a computing device allowing a user to customize one or more aspects of the sleep environment.
