ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240335163 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THEREOF
The abstract describes an electronic apparatus that can identify a user's sleep state and gather information related to it using a microphone and communication interface.
- The electronic apparatus includes a communication interface, a microphone, memory storing instructions, and one or more processors.
- The processors are configured to recognize a user's sleep state based on received signals and audio input, without performing voice recognition.
- The apparatus performs a sleep recognition function to gather information about the user's sleep state based on audio obtained from the microphone.
- Information about the user's sleep state is obtained by analyzing the user's state identified by a reflection signal and breathing sounds.
Potential Applications: - Sleep monitoring devices - Health and wellness applications - Smart home systems for sleep tracking
Problems Solved: - Accurately identifying a user's sleep state without relying on voice input - Providing insights into the user's sleep patterns and quality
Benefits: - Improved sleep tracking accuracy - Enhanced user experience in monitoring sleep - Potential for better health management based on sleep data
Commercial Applications: "Advanced Sleep Monitoring Technology for Health and Wellness Applications"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between different sleep states? - The apparatus uses a combination of reflection signals and breathing sounds to identify the user's sleep state accurately. 2. Can the technology be integrated into existing sleep tracking devices? - Yes, the technology can be integrated into various devices for enhanced sleep monitoring capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic apparatus includes a communication interface, a microphone, a memory storing at least one instruction, and one or more processors connected to the communication interface, the microphone, and the memory and configured to the electronic apparatus, and the one or more processors are configured to, based on identifying that a user's state corresponds to a sleep state according to a first reflection signal received via the communication interface, not perform a voice recognition function corresponding to a user voice input and perform a sleep recognition function to obtain information corresponding to the sleep state based on the obtained audio, and while the sleep recognition function is being performed, obtain information corresponding to the user's sleep state based on the user state identified by a second reflection signal received via the communication interface and a breathing sound of the user identified by audio obtained via the microphone.
