Sleep aid device for vehicle, system including sleep aid device, and method of sleep aid for vehicle
First Claim
1. A sleep aid device for a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a sleep information setting device for setting sleep information and a target sleep time of a user;
a route establishing device for establishing a route to a destination and for calculating a time required to reach the destination;
a sleep mode determining device for determining whether a current mode is a sleep mode and for determining a sleep-inducing start time using the sleep information and the time required to reach the destination;
a sleep mode controller for controlling an intra-vehicle device in the sleep mode at the sleep-inducing start time;
a wake-up mode determining device for determining a sleep state of the user and entering a wake-up mode when the user is in a light sleep state; and
a wake-up mode controller for controlling the intra-vehicle device in the wake-up mode when the wake-up mode is entered.

13. A sleep aid system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a communication device for receiving sleep information or a target sleep time from a user terminal; an input device for receiving the target sleep time, the sleep information and a destination from a user; a sleep aid device for establishing a route to the destination, for determining a sleep-inducing start time based on a time required to reach the destination and the target sleep time, for controlling an intra-vehicle device in a sleep mode at the sleep-inducing start time, for monitoring a sleep state of the user and a destination arrival time, and for controlling the intra-vehicle device in a wake-up mode if the vehicle will arrive at the destination within a time and if the user is in a light sleep state; and a storage device for storing the target sleep time, the sleep information and information about the route to the destination. - View Dependent Claims (14)
