Abstract

Introduced are methods and systems for an adjustable bed device configured to: gather biological signals associated with multiple users, such as heart rate, breathing rate, or temperature; analyze the gathered human biological signals; and heat or cool a bed based on the analysis.

Claims (7)

1. A method comprising:

obtaining a biological signal associated with a user from a sensor, wherein said biological signal corresponds to a heart rate associated with said user, a temperature associated with said user, a motion associated with said user, and breathing rate associated with said user; and

identifying, using a processor, said user based on at least one of: said heart rate associated with said user, said breathing rate associated with said user, said temperature associated with said user, or said motion associated with said user; and

determining a control signal, and a time to send said control signal to a coil, using said processor, wherein said control signal comprises one of an instruction to heat said coil to a high temperature, or an instruction to cool said coil to a low temperature, and further wherein said time comprises an average bedtime associated with said user; and

sending said control signal at said average bedtime associated with said user to said coil, such that said coil is heated or cooled according to said control signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said high temperature comprises an average high temperature associated with said user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said low temperature comprises an average low temperature associated with said user.
