Abstract

A method, system and program product comprises instructing a computing device to receive a user inputted information at least identifying the user. The computing device is configured for home usage. A computer vision sensor in communication with the computing device is initialized. The computer vision sensor is configured for home usage. The initializing instructs the computer vision sensor to detect aspects of sleep deprivations of the user. Detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user during a sleep cycle of the user are received. The computing device is instructed to transmit at least the detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user to a computer system of a recipient.

Claims

1. A method comprising the steps of:

instructing a computing device to receive a user inputted information at least identifying the user, the computing device being configured for home usage;

initializing a computer vision sensor being in communication with the computing device, the computer vision sensor being configured for home usage, said initializing instructing the computer vision sensor to detect aspects of sleep deprivations of the user;

receiving detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user during a sleep cycle of the user; and

instructing the computing device to transmit at least the detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user to a computer system of a recipient.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising the step of instructing the computing device issue an alert to the user upon receipt of an alert from the computer system of the recipient.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising the step of instructing the computer vision sensor to perform a three-dimensional image scanning of the user for facilitating equipment fitting.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, instructing the computing device to transfer metrics of the three-dimensional scanning to a location for fabrication.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, in which the recipient is a fleet service scheduler using the transmitted aspects for determining hours of safe driving for the user.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, in which the aspects are transmitted in real time.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, in which said step of initializing a computer vision sensor further comprises instructing the computing device to display a walkthrough of a setup to the user.

8. The method as recited in claim 2, in which the alert from the computer system of the recipient is further sent to emergency medical services.

9. The method as recited in claim 1, in which the detection of the aspects of sleep deprivations occurs at the user'"'"'s home.

10. The method as recited in claim 1, in which the detection of the aspects of sleep deprivations is accomplished without physically contacting the user.

11. A system comprising:

a computer vision sensor being configured for home usage, said computer vision sensor being further configured to detect aspects of sleep deprivations of a user at the user'"'"'s home without physically contacting the user, said aspects comprising at least the user'"'"'s breathing, movement of body, and heart rate; and

a computing device being configured for home usage, said computing device being further configured to receive inputted information from the user at least identifying the user, instructing the computer vision sensor to detect the aspects of sleep deprivations of the user during a sleep cycle of the user, transmit at least the detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user to a computer system of a recipient in real time, and issue an alert to the user upon receipt of an alert from the computer system of the recipient.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs one or more processors to perform the following steps:

instructing a computing device to receive a user inputted information at least identifying the user, the computing device being configured for home usage;

initializing a computer vision sensor being in communication with the computing device, the computer vision sensor being configured for home usage, said initializing instructing the computer vision sensor to detect aspects of sleep deprivations of the user;

receiving detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user during a sleep cycle of the user; and

instructing the computing device to transmit at least the detected aspects of sleep deprivations of the user to a computer system of a recipient.

13. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 12, further comprising the step of instructing the computing device issue an alert to the user upon receipt of an alert from the computer system of the recipient.

14. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 12, further comprising the step of instructing the computer vision sensor to perform a three-dimensional image scanning of the user for facilitating equipment fitting.

15. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 14, instructing the computing device to transfer metrics of the three-dimensional scanning to a location for fabrication.

16. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 12, in which the recipient is a fleet service scheduler using the transmitted aspects for determining hours of safe driving for the user.

17. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 12, in which the aspects are transmitted in real time.

18. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 12, in which said step of initializing a computer vision sensor further comprises instructing the computing device to display a walkthrough of a setup to the user.

19. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 13, in which the alert from the computer system of the recipient is further sent to emergency medical services.

20. The program instructing the processor as recited in claim 12, in which the detection of the aspects of sleep deprivations occurs at the user'"'"'s home.
