Abstract

Systems and methods for enhancing wellness in a habitable space are provided. In some forms, an example system for enhancing wellness in a habitable space includes a control system having a processor, communication circuitry, and a memory. The communication circuitry of the control system is configured to communicate with one or more devices positioned within the habitable space. One or more sensors may also be positioned proximate the habitable space to detect indicia (e.g., biometric characteristics of a user, behavioral characteristics of a user, and environmental characteristics) and communicate the detected indicia to the control system. Based at least in part on the detected indicia, the control system is configured to trigger initiation of a scene in the habitable space by communicating a signal to at least one of the devices in the habitable space to adjust operation thereof.

Claims (49)

1 . A system configured to initiate one or more scenes in a habitable space for a user, wherein the habitable space includes one or more devices, the system comprising:

a computing device including a processor, communication circuitry, and a memory; and

one or more sensors communicatively coupled to the computing device, the one or more sensors configured to detect indicia;

wherein the computing device is configured to trigger initiation of a sleep scene in the habitable space based at least in part on the detected indicia, and wherein the computing device is further configured to initiate the sleep scene by communicating, via the communication circuitry, a signal to at least one of the one or more devices in the habitable space, the signal configured to adjust operation of the at least one device.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the detected indicia includes one or a combination of at least one biometric characteristic of a user, at least one environmental characteristic of the habitable space, and at least one behavioral characteristic of the user.

3 . (canceled)

4 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a user interface communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the computing device is configured to trigger initiation of the sleep scene in the habitable space based at least in part on a user input, which includes one or a combination of:

one or more answers to a survey provided on the user interface;

a sleep schedule;

a sleep schedule change; and

a sleep goal;

wherein the computing device is further configured to initiate the sleep scene at a predetermined time before a sleep time of the user to automate sleep cues for the user in the habitable space.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is inhibited from initiating the sleep scene when presence of the person in the habitable space is not detected by at least one of the one or more sensors in the habitable space.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to trigger initiation of a wake-up scene in the habitable space based at least in part on the detected indicia, and wherein the computing device is further configured to initiate the wake-up scene by communicating, via the communication circuitry, a signal to at least one of the one or more devices in the habitable space, the signal configured to adjust operation of the at least one device.

7 . (canceled)

8 . (canceled)

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to initiate at least one of:

a go-to-sleep scene followed by a stay asleep scene; or

a stay asleep scene followed by a wake-up scene.

10 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the computing device is further configured to analyze the user input and the detected indicia to determine adjustments to the sleep scene via at least one machine learning algorithm.

11 . A method for increasing the likelihood that a person associated with a habitable space will fall asleep at a designated time, the method comprising:

sensing, via one or more sensors associated with the habitable space, one or more indicia, wherein the one or more sensors are communicatively coupled to a computing device;

triggering, via a processor of the computing device, a sleep scene for at least a portion of the habitable space upon a trigger being satisfied based at least in part on the detected indicia; and

implementing the sleep scene in at least the portion of the habitable space, wherein implementing includes communicating, via communication circuitry of the computing device, one or more signals to one or more devices positioned in the habitable space, the one or more signals configured to adjust operation of the one or more devices.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

determining the trigger, wherein the trigger is indicative of a time of sleep of the person.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sensors includes an environmental sensor, and wherein the method further comprises sensing one or more environmental parameters associated with the habitable space using the environmental sensor, and wherein the trigger being satisfied is further based at least in part on the one or more sensed environmental parameters.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of implementing the sleep scene is configured to occur at a predetermined time period before a sleep time of the person.

15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

adjusting the sleep scene, via the computing device, based at least in part on the indicia sensed by the one or more sensors.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of implementing the sleep scene is inhibited when presence of the person in the habitable space is not detected by at least one of the one or more sensors.

17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

triggering a wake scene based at least in part on the detected indicia.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

implementing the wake scene in the habitable space, wherein implementing includes communicating, via communication circuitry of the computing device, one or more signals to one or more devices positioned in the habitable space, the signals configured to adjust operation of the one or more devices.

19 - 24 . (canceled)

25 . A method for increasing the likelihood that a person associated with a habitable space will wake up at a designated time, comprising:

sensing, by one or more sensors associated with the habitable space, one or more indicia, wherein the one or more sensors are communicatively coupled to a computing device;

triggering, by a processor of the computing device, a wake-up scene for at least a portion of the habitable space upon a trigger being satisfied based at least in part on the one or more sensed indicia; and

initiating the wake-up scene in the habitable space, wherein initiating includes communicating, via communication circuitry of the computing device, one or more signals to one or more devices positioned in the habitable space, the signals configured to adjust operation of the one or more devices.

26 . The method of claim 25 , further comprising:

determining the trigger, wherein the trigger is indicative of a wake time of the person.

27 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the one or more sensors includes an environmental sensor, and wherein the method further comprises sensing one or more environmental parameters associated with the habitable space using the environmental sensor; and

wherein the trigger being satisfied is further based at least in part on the one or more sensed environmental parameters.

28 . (canceled)

29 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the step of initiating the wake scene is configured to occur at a predetermined time period before a wake time of the person.

30 . The method of claim 25 , further comprising:

adjusting the wake-up scene, via the computing device, based at least in part on the indicia sensed by the one or more sensors.

31 - 41 . (canceled)
