Problem

Existing sleep state monitoring systems require users to wear separate equipment, causing inconvenience and making it difficult for users to accurately analyze and improve their sleep states based on biometric information.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a detection unit with various sensors (pressure, vibration, acoustic, etc.) embedded in a mattress to collect biometric data, a memory unit to store this data, and an analysis unit to generate sleep state analysis information and improvement guides without disturbing the user's sleep.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users wear separate equipment to monitor sleep state, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesleep state monitoring accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple sensors (pressure, vibration, acoustic) and processing units into a single integrated mattress system. This merging eliminates the need for users to wear separate monitoring equipment while maintaining comprehensive sleep state measurement capabilities through the integrated sensor array embedded in the mattress structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that collects and analyzes biometric data from various sensors automatically. This intermediary layer processes the raw sensor signals and provides interpreted sleep state information to users, eliminating the need for users to directly interact with or wear complex monitoring equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If detailed sleep state information is provided to users, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesleep state analysis accuracyVSAvoiduser understanding capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism that provides users with processed sleep state information in an easily understandable format. The system analyzes detailed biometric data and returns summarized insights with actionable recommendations, enabling users to grasp their sleep quality without being overwhelmed by raw technical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms complex sensor data into simplified parameters and categories that users can easily interpret. By converting raw biometric signals into classified sleep state information (such as sleep stages, quality scores, and patterns), the system makes detailed measurement results accessible to users with varying levels of technical understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
