INTERACTIVE POWERED BEDDING SYSTEMS FOR CHILDREN
Interactive bedding systems for a child and processes of use include a mattress and a foundation supporting the mattress. The interactive bedding system can be dynamically adjusted to the child's individuality and age. The bedding system includes a control unit configured to automatically adjust articulating sections in the foundation, the one or more color-changeable lighting units, the one or more sound speakers, and the vibrating units upon detection of a sleep condition, and automatically detect a presence or an absence of the child on the articulating bedding system at a predetermined range of time and notifying a third party in the absence of the child during the predetermined range of time.
1 . An interactive bedding system for a child comprising:
a mattress;
a foundation supporting the mattress;
a plurality of sensors below a sleeping surface of the interactive bedding system configured to measure at least one sleep condition and provide output signals;
one or more color-changeable lighting units coupled to the rectangular frame;
one or more sound speakers coupled to the rectangular frame;
vibrating units coupled to foundation; and
a control unit configured to automatically actuate the one or more color-changeable lighting units, the one or more sound speakers, and the vibrating units upon detection of a sleep condition, and automatically detect a presence or an absence of the child on the interactive bedding system at a predetermined range of time and notifying a third party in the absence of the child during the predetermined range of time.
2 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to activate the color changeable lighting units upon the absence of a child from the bedding system.
3 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein automatically adjusting lighting from the one or more color-changeable lighting units to fade upon detection of the sleep condition.
4 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the third party is a caretaker or a parent.
5 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the foundation comprises a rectangular frame and one or more articulating sections mounted to the rectangular frame configured to support the mattress, wherein the rectangular frame comprises a head end, a foot end, and sidewalls extending from the head end to the foot end, and wherein the rectangular frame comprises a linkage assembly operable to articulate one or more of the articulating sections from a planar configuration to a non-planar configuration; and wherein the control unit is configured to automatically adjust the articulating sections upon detection of the sleep condition to provide a non-planar configuration.
6 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 further comprising removable border panels about a perimeter of the rectangular frame comprising a pattern and/or indicia,
7 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to automatically adjust the vibrating units to provide a repeating pattern.
8 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to automatically adjust the one or more speakers to emit white noise upon detection of the sleep condition.
9 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to automatically discontinue sound emission from the one or more speakers upon detection of the sleep condition.
10 . The interactive bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors is configured to measure at least one of movement, pressure, weight, and time in bed.
11 . A process for operating an interactive bedding system for a child, the process comprising:
providing an interactive bedding system comprising a mattress; and a foundation supporting the mattress, wherein the interactive bedding system is configured with a plurality of sensors below a sleeping surface of the interactive bedding system configured to measure at least one sleep condition and provide output signals, one or more color-changeable lighting units coupled to the rectangular frame, one or more sound speakers coupled to the rectangular frame, vibrating units coupled to the foundation, and a control unit; and
automatically adjusting the one or more color-changeable lighting units, the one or more sound speakers, and the vibrating units upon detection of a sleep condition, and automatically detect a presence or an absence of the child on the interactive bedding system at a predetermined range of time and notifying a third party in the absence of the child during the predetermined range of time.
12 . The process of claim 11 , wherein the interactive bedding system further comprises removable border panels about a perimeter of the rectangular frame comprising a pattern and/or indicia, and the process further comprises periodically changing the removable border panels to provide a different pattern and/or indicia.
13 . The process of claim 11 , wherein automatically adjusting the vibrating units comprises providing a repeating pattern prior to detection of the sleep condition.
14 . The process of claim 11 , wherein the foundation comprises a rectangular frame and one or more articulating sections mounted to the rectangular frame configured to support the mattress, wherein the rectangular frame comprises a head end, a foot end, and sidewalls extending from the head end to the foot end, and wherein the rectangular frame comprises a linkage assembly operable to articulate one or more of the articulating sections from a planar configuration to a non-planar configuration; and the process further comprises automatically adjusting the articulating sections to a planar configuration upon detection of the sleep condition.
15 . The process of claim 11 , wherein automatically adjusting the one or more speakers comprises playing a song or music prior to detecting the sleep condition followed by playing white noise upon detecting the sleep condition.
16 . The process of claim 11 , wherein automatically adjusting the one or more speakers comprises playing a song or music prior to detecting the sleep condition followed by discontinuing sound emission upon detecting the sleep condition.
17 . The process of claim 11 , wherein automatically adjusting the color changing lighting units comprises changing color to a different color upon detection of the sleep condition and the absence of the child from the bedding system.
18 . The process of claim 11 , wherein the third party is a caretaker or a parent.
