Device and method for controlling physical properties of a bed
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for controlling at least one physical property of a bed with a person in it, comprising:
- a lying part included in the bed and provided with a plurality of sensors for measuring one or more physical magnitudes; and
a registration unit adapted to receive, process and analyse measured values from the sensors, and control at least one physical property of the bed based on measured values received from the sensors the registration unit is further adapted to detect if the person snores and his breathing is possibly interrupted by snoring, and to activate a vertically adjustable part positioned at the head end of the bed so that the upper part of the body of the person is raised when significant interruptions of breathing are detected or when long snoring periods are detected.

Abstract
A system and a method are proposed for controlling at least one physical property of a bed based on the state of a person staying in the bed. A lying part in the bed is provided with a plurality of sensors adapted to continuously measure physical magnitudes as a measurement of the person'"'"'s state. Measured values from the sensors are received, processed and analysed by a registration unit, for controlling physical properties of the bed.
