Sleep pod
Introduced are methods and systems for a sleep pod. An occupant of a sleep pod can have a personalized sleeping experience based on an analysis of biological signals, environmental characteristics, occupant history, and other factors.
1. A method, comprising:
(a) operatively coupling a controller to a plurality of enclosures, wherein the plurality of enclosures comprises (i) a first enclosure comprising a first sensor configured to detect a biological signal associated with a first user that is indicative of how the first user is sleeping within the first enclosure, and (ii) a second enclosure comprising a second sensor configured to detect the biological signal associated with a second user that is indicative of how the second user is sleeping within the second enclosure;
(b) aggregating, by the controller, a plurality of digital data received from the plurality of enclosures, wherein the plurality of digital data comprises (i) a first implemented adjustment of a characteristic of the first enclosure, wherein the first implemented adjustment is performed based on the biological signal associated with the first user and (ii) a second implemented adjustment of the characteristic of the second enclosure, wherein the second implemented adjustment is performed based on the biological signal associated with the second user;
(c) generating, by the controller, an instruction to adjust the characteristic of a third enclosure of a third user and a time to adjust the characteristic of the third enclosure based on the instruction, by analyzing both (i) the first implemented adjustment for the first enclosure and (ii) the second implemented adjustment for the second enclosure;
(d) providing, by the controller, the instruction to the third enclosure; and
(e) adjusting, by the controller, the characteristic of the third enclosure at the time to adjust the characteristic based on the instruction.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic is selected from the group consisting of temperature, humidity, ambient pressure, noise, scent, light, and oxygen level.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the characteristic is the temperature.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor is a part of an article of furniture disposed within the first enclosure.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the article of furniture comprises a bed device.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the bed device comprises a mattress or a mattress pad.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the characteristic is a feature of the article of furniture.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the feature is a temperature of the article of furniture.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the feature is pressure adjacent to a surface of the article of furniture.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the feature is vibration adjacent to a surface of the article of furniture.
11. The method of claim 7 wherein the feature is an adjustable position of the article of furniture.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjustment of the characteristic of the third enclosure is different than the first implemented adjustment of the characteristic of the first enclosure.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjustment of the characteristic of the third enclosure is the same as the first implemented adjustment of the characteristic of the first enclosure.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a piezo sensor.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a temperature sensor.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological signal comprises a heart signal.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological signal comprises a breathing signal.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological signal comprises a temperature.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological signal comprises a motion.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of (c) is performed automatically by the controller.
21. A system, comprising:
a controller operatively coupled to a plurality of enclosures, wherein the plurality of enclosures comprises (i) a first enclosure comprising a first sensor configured to detect a biological signal associated with a first user that is indicative of how the first user is sleeping within the first enclosure, and (ii) a second enclosure comprising a second sensor configured to detect the biological signal associated with a second user that is indicative of how the second user is sleeping within the second enclosure,
wherein the controller is programmed to:
(a) aggregate a plurality of digital data received from the plurality of enclosures, wherein the plurality of digital data comprises (i) a first implemented adjustment of a characteristic of the first enclosure, wherein the first implemented adjustment is performed based on the biological signal associated with the first user and (ii) a second implemented adjustment of the characteristic of the second enclosure, wherein the second implemented adjustment is performed based on the biological signal associated with the second user;
(b) generate an instruction to adjust the characteristic of a third enclosure of a third user and a time to adjust the characteristic of the third enclosure based on the instruction, by analyzing both (i) the first implemented adjustment for the first enclosure and (ii) the second implemented adjustment for the second enclosure;
(c) provide the instruction to the third closure; and
(d) adjust the characteristic of the third enclosure at the time to adjust the characteristic based on the instruction.
22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the characteristic is selected from the group consisting of temperature, humidity, ambient pressure, noise, scent, light, and oxygen level.
23. The system of claim 21 , wherein the first sensor is a part of an article of furniture disposed within the first enclosure.
24. The system of claim 23 , wherein the article of furniture comprises a bed device.
25. The system of claim 24 , wherein the bed device comprises a mattress or a mattress pad.
26. The system of claim 23 , wherein the characteristic is a feature of the article of furniture.
27. The system of claim 26 , wherein the feature comprises a temperature of the article of furniture, pressure adjacent to a surface of the article of furniture, vibration adjacent to a surface of the article of furniture, or an adjustable position of the article of furniture.
28. The system of claim 21 , wherein the first sensor comprises a piezo sensor or a temperature sensor.
29. The system of claim 21 , wherein the biological signal comprises a heart signal, a breathing signal, a temperature, or a motion.
30. The system of claim 21 , wherein the controller is programmed to automatically generate the instruction.
