AIR MAT APPARATUS AND METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

An air mat device formed to be comfortable to sleep by regulating a pressure through the accurate and precise detection of pressure distribution even if the pressure is concentrated thereon. The air mat device includes a sensor for detecting the distribution of the pressure applied to an elastic sheet by the light emitting parts and the light receiving parts of optical fibers uniformly distributed in the elastic sheet. The air mat device controls the amount of a gas filled in an air mat based on the pressure distribution detected by the sensor. The sensor can be installed on the upper part of the air mat of the air mat device.
