Abstract

A multifunction device for improving sleep and methods of use are disclosed herein. The device can comprise an outer housing, a front panel, a front textile wrapped partially around the front panel, a plurality of LEDs within the outer housing, and an internal reflector coupled to the outer housing. The internal reflector can be configured to reflect light generated by the plurality of LEDs towards the front textile such that the light generated by the plurality of LEDs shines through the front panel and the front textile when a sleep-related program of the multifunction device is automatically initiated.

Claims (16)

1 . A sleep training device, comprising:

an outer housing and a housing base, wherein the outer housing comprises a front side, a rear side, and a curved top;

a front panel at the front side of the outer housing;

a rear cover at the rear side of the outer housing;

a main speaker configured to produce sound, wherein the main speaker faces the rear side of the outer housing;

an internal reflector, wherein the front panel is coupled to an edge of the internal reflector;

a main speaker housing coupled to the outer housing, wherein the main speaker is coupled to the main speaker housing, wherein the main speaker housing is substantially shaped as a partial spherical segment,

wherein the main speaker housing, the internal reflector, and the main speaker create a sealed sound environment to control the sound produced by the main speaker; and

a front textile wrapped partially around the front panel, wherein the front textile comprises a woven fabric comprising warp threads running vertically and weft threads running horizontally, wherein a portion of the threads are undyed and wherein a portion of the threads are dyed.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the main speaker housing is coupled to the internal reflector and is positioned rearward of the internal reflector, and wherein the main speaker faces a rear side of the outer housing.

3 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a light dimming film positioned in front of a plurality of clock LEDs, and wherein the light dimming film is configured to dim light emitted by the plurality of clock LEDs.

4 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a screen-printed layer covering a front face and edges of the front panel, and wherein the screen-printed layer is set via ultraviolet light.

5 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a main LED dimmer positioned vertically over a plurality of LEDs, and wherein the plurality of LEDs face vertically upward.

6 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a rear cover and a rear textile wrapped partially around the rear cover, wherein the rear textile comprises a woven fabric comprising warp threads running vertically and weft threads running horizontally, wherein the warp threads are undyed, and wherein the weft threads are dyed.

7 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a capacitive touch component, wherein the capacitive touch component is configured to be activated via touch through a front textile.

8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the outer housing is substantially shaped as a partial spherical segment.
