SLEEP EVALUATION DEVICE AND SLEEP EVALUATION METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sleep evaluation device comprising:
- a body motion detection device that detects body motion of a person being measured on a bed;
a discrimination device that discriminates a sleeping state of the person being measured, based on a detection result of the body motion detection device; and
an input device that inputs information on the person being measured before going to sleep,wherein a sleeping state is discriminated based on the pre-sleep information and the detection result of the body motion detection device,the pre-sleep information includes;
information specifying a first timing at which the person being measured is positioned on the bed; and
information specifying a second timing at which the person being measured intends to end a state before sleeping,the sleep evaluation device further comprising;
an arithmetic operation device that calculates a first duration which is a duration from the first timing to the second timing, and specifies the first timing based on the detection result of the body motion detection device,wherein the discrimination device further discriminates a sleep level of the sleeping state, andthe arithmetic operation device further computes a second duration which is a duration from the second timing to when the sleep level reaches a specific level,the sleep evaluation device further comprising;
a display control device that displays the first duration and the second duration on a display device.

Abstract
With an evaluation device, a sleep level of a person being measured is discriminated based on a signal input from a body motion sensor. With the evaluation device, when a go-to-bed button is operated at time T3, time T3 is stored as the go-to-bed time. When a good-night button is operated at time T4, discrimination of sleep level is started. Thereafter, when the good-night button again is operated at time T5, the discrimination of sleep level ends.

10. A sleep evaluation method that is to be executed in a sleep evaluation device including body motion detection device that detects body motion of a person being measured on a bed, the sleep evaluation method comprising:
-
a step of the body motion detection device detecting body motion of a person being measured on a bed; a step of receiving information on the person being measured before going to sleep; and a step of discriminating a sleeping state of the person being measured based on the pre-sleep information and the result of body motion detected by the body motion detection device, wherein the pre-sleep information includes; information specifying a first timing at which the person being measured is positioned on the bed; and information specifying a second timing at which the person being measured intends to end a state before sleeping, the sleep evaluation method further comprising; an arithmetic operation step of computing a first duration which is a duration from the first timing to the second timing, and specifies the first timing based on the detection result of the body motion detection device, wherein the discrimination step includes a step of further discriminating a sleep level of the sleeping state, and the arithmetic operation step includes a step of further computing a second duration which is a duration from the second timing to when the sleep level reaches a specific level, the sleep evaluation method further comprising; a step of displaying the first duration and the second duration on a display device.
