DETERMINATION SYSTEM, SENSOR, DETERMINATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17780708 titled 'DETERMINATION SYSTEM, SENSOR, DETERMINATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The determination system described in the abstract includes components such as an obtainer, a determiner, and an outputter. The obtainer collects data from sensors that detect body movements of a user, including movements of a body part exposed from a covering and general body movements. The determiner then uses this data to determine the sleep state of the user, taking into account the state of the covering. Finally, the outputter provides information based on the determiner's findings.
- The system collects data from sensors to detect body movements of a user, including movements of exposed body parts and general body movements.
- The sleep state of the user is determined based on the data collected by the sensors, considering the state of the covering.
- Information is outputted based on the determination of the user's sleep state.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as healthcare, fitness tracking, and sleep monitoring devices.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in accurately determining the sleep state of a user, which can lead to improved sleep quality and overall health.
Benefits
The system provides valuable information about the user's sleep patterns, which can be used to make informed decisions about lifestyle changes or medical interventions.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include smart mattresses, sleep tracking apps, and wearable devices for monitoring sleep quality.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing sleep tracking devices that use sensors to monitor body movements during sleep.
What is the accuracy of the sleep state determination provided by this system?
The accuracy of the sleep state determination provided by this system would depend on the sensitivity and reliability of the sensors used to detect body movements.
How does the system differentiate between different sleep states, such as light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep?
The system may differentiate between different sleep states based on the patterns and intensity of body movements detected by the sensors, along with other physiological indicators of sleep stages.
Original Abstract Submitted
A determination system includes an obtainer, a determiner, and an outputter. The obtainer obtains a result of detection by a first sensor which detects a body movement of a body part of a user exposed from a covering, and a result of detection by a second sensor which detects a body movement of the user. The determiner determines a sleep state of the user, based on the result of detection by the first sensor and the result of detection by the second sensor, which are obtained by the obtainer, the sleep state including a state of the covering. The outputter outputs information based on a result of determination by the determiner.
