PILLOW HAVING APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING SLEEPING STATE UNDER UNRESTRICTED NON-SELF-AWARENESS CONDITION
First Claim
1. A pillow having an apparatus for determining a sleeping state under an unrestricted non-self-awareness condition, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor for detecting analog bio-information on a pulse, breathing, body movement, snore, bruxism for a user putting his/her head on the pillow;
a signal processing unit for filtering off and amplifying the analog bio-information detected by the sensor; and
a control unit for converting the analog bio-information output from the signal processing unit into a digital signal, storing the digital signal therein, extracting parameters from the detected bio-information to provide a sleeping status as a quantitative indicator,wherein the sensor is installed in the pillow;
the sensor is inserted into a pad type housing so that the sensor does not directly contact an interior material of the pillow; and
the housing is provided on an upper portion of the pillow so that minute vibration and movement of the user'"'"'s head, which are incurred by the user'"'"'s breathing, pulse, body movement, and snore, is effectively transferred to the sensor.

Abstract
Provided is a pillow having an apparatus for determining a sleeping state under an unrestricted non-self-awareness condition. The apparatus includes a sensor for detecting analog bio-information on a pulse, breathing, body movement, snore. bruxism for a user putting his/her head on the pillow, a signal processing unit for filtering off and amplifying the analog bio-information detected by the sensor, and a control unit for converting the analog bio-information output from the signal processing unit into a digital signal, storing the digital signal therein, extracting parameters from the detected bio-information to provide a sleeping status as a quantitative indicator. The sensor is installed in the pillow. The sensor is inserted into a pad type housing so that the sensor does not directly contact an interior material of the pillow. The housing is provided on an upper portion of the pillow so that minute vibration and movement of the user'"'"'s head, which are incurred by the user'"'"'s breathing, pulse, body movement, and snore, is effectively transferred to the sensor.
