1. A method comprising:
- causing, at least in part, data relating to movement of a sleeper to be received at a mobile communication device from one or more sensors;
analyzing the data over a predetermined interval to determine a transition in sleep state of the sleeper;
generating, based on the transition, at least one control signal;
causing, at least in part, the at least one control signal to be transmitted to one or more electronic devices and causing, at least in part, a condition of an environment of the sleeper to be detected, wherein the transition relates to the sleeper falling more or less asleep, and the at least one control signal is generated to cause the one or more electronic devices to stop or diminish the condition.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method where sleep sensor signals are obtained to a mobile communication device from sensor devices. The mobile communication device checks the sleep sensor signals for a sleep state transition, determines the type of the sleep state transition, forms control signals based on the type of the sleep state transition and sends the control signals to at least one electronic device.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to; receive data relating to movement of a sleeper from one or more sensors, analyze the data over a predetermined interval to determine a transition in sleep state of the sleeper, generate, based on the transition, at least one control signal, transmit the at least one control signal to one or more electronic devices and detect a condition of an environment of the sleeper, wherein the transition relates to the sleeper falling more or less asleep, and the at least one control signal is generated to cause the one or more electronic devices to stop or diminish the condition. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
