SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF SLEEP

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a distributed computer system and a method for determining the quality of sleep of a sleeping user 340. The distributed computer system will determine the quality of sleep by detecting the changes in body posture of the sleeping user 340. The quality of sleep will be determined by the feature vectors associated with each posture of the sleeping user 340. The posture of the user will be determined by recording a body motion signal 200 caused by the mechanical and muscle movements of the body of the user.

主权项

1. A method of determining quality of sleep of at least one user (340), the method comprising:
recording (100) a body motion signal (200) using a peripheral device (300); arranging (110) a communication connection between said peripheral device (300) and a mobile subscriber terminal (320); communicating (120) said body motion signal (200) to a third party software application executing in said mobile subscriber terminal (320); characterized in that, determining (140) body posture changes of said at least one user (340) using both said body motion signal (200) and a respiration cycle amplitude (210) signal of the user, wherein the determination of body posture changes of said at least one user (340) is used in determining the quality of sleep.
