REMOTE SLEEP QUALITY DETECTING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A remote sleep quality detecting system, comprising:
- a portable detecting device, comprising;
at least one signal detector for continuously detecting a physical activity of an examinee while the examinee is sleeping, and for generating an activity signal;
a signal processing module for receiving the activity signal, and for analyzing and computing the activity signal, the signal processing module comprising;
an analysis module for analyzing changes of the activity signal, and generating a statistical value according to the classification and statistics of the variation of the activity signal; and
a computation module for receiving and computing the statistical value, and comparing a computed result with at least one sleep state index to produce sleep quality information;
a storage unit for storing the activity signal and the sleep quality information received by the signal processing module; and
a network transmission unit for transmitting the sleep quality information via a network; and
a remote monitoring device for monitoring the sleep quality information of the examinee from a remote location via the network, and comprising;
a sleep quality reading module for providing a user interface to receive a connection instruction to connect the portable detecting device, reading and displaying the sleep quality information at the user interface,whereby the sleep quality information of the examinee can be observed from a remote location by a distributed network structure, and the sleep quality of the examinee can be analyzed further according to the sleep quality information.

Abstract
A remote sleep quality detecting system and its method provide a portable detecting device for detecting an examinee'"'"'s physical activity while the examinee is sleeping, analyzing a detected activity signal by a signal processing module to generate a statistical value, and comparing a result of the computed statistical value with a sleep state index to obtain sleep quality information, and then storing the activity signal and the sleep quality information in a storage unit. The system and method also provide a remote monitoring device including a sleep information reading module for providing a user interface, connecting the portable detecting device via the Internet and receiving the sleep quality information produced by the portable detecting device after a command from the portable detecting device is received, such that the examinee'"'"'s sleep quality information can be examined from a remote location for a long term without disturbing the examinee'"'"'s sleep.
