SETT OCH ANORDNING VID DETEKTERING AV INSOMNING

摘要

Method of slumber detection which includes the following steps. A hyper sensitive magnetometer is attached in the vicinity of and on detecting distance from an individual to be slumber detected. The signal pattern caused by feeble variations in the magnetic field of said individual is then continuously detected. The progress of said detected signal pattern is compared with a signal pattern progress characteristic of falling asleep/losing consciousness. A predetermined similarity between detected signal pattern progress and the signal pattern progress which is characteristic of falling asleep/losing consciousness is then caused to give rise to a warning signal.
