REMOTE SLEEP QUALITY DETECTING METHOD
First Claim
1. A remote sleep quality detecting method, comprising the steps of:
- providing a signal detector for continuously detecting a physical activity of an examinee while the examinee is sleeping, and generating an activity signal;
analyzing changes of the activity signal variation with time, and producing a statistical value according to the variation classification and statistics of the activity signal;
computing the statistical value, and comparing the computed result with at least one sleep state index to produce sleep quality information;
recording the sleep quality information in a storage unit; and
providing a remote monitoring device, and displaying the sleep quality information read via a network at a user interface,whereby the sleep quality information of the examinee can be observed at a remote location for a long term, 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.
