Claims (6)

1. A bed with a mattress, A sleep-related sensor configured to sense sensor readings related to information concerning the quality of sleep of a user who is sleeping or scheduled to sleep on the bed, An automation controller configured to transfer the sensor readings to a cloud service, receive both commands and text-based suggestions from the cloud service to modify the user's sleep environment, apply the commands to modify the user's sleep environment if it is determined that the user is in bed, and provide the text-based suggestions via a GUI if it is determined that the user is not in bed, Hardware providing the cloud service, configured to compare real-time data of the sensor readings with trend data representing trends related to the user's sleep quality , which are pre- generated by AI processing from historical data relating to the past history of the sensor readings, in order to generate both the instructions and the text-based suggestions for modifying the user's sleep environment to be personalized for the user. A system characterized by having the following features.
2. The system further, An interface device configured to display the GUI, A data storage unit that stores the aforementioned historical data, The system according to claim 1, characterized by comprising:
3. The hardware that provides the aforementioned cloud service further, The system according to claim 2, characterized in that the hardware providing the cloud service is configured to use data entered by the user in addition to the historical data when generating the command to modify the user's sleep environment.
4. The system according to claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the automation controller is one of the group consisting of a bed controller, a pump controller, and a voice-activated home automation controller.
5. The system according to claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the instructions for modifying the user's sleep environment include machine-readable instructions for one of the group consisting of the bed and peripheral devices.
6. The system according to claim 1 or 2 , further characterized in that the cloud service is configured to transfer the commands for modifying the user's sleep environment to the automation controller.

Description

[Cross-reference of related applications] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/786,799, filed December 31, 2018. The entire contents of said U.S. Provisional Patent Application are incorporated herein by reference. This disclosure relates to the automation of consumer devices such as air mattresses. Generally, a bed is a piece of furniture used as a place to sleep and relax. Many modern beds include a soft mattress on a bed frame. The mattress may include springs, foam, and/or air chambers to support the weight of one or more occupants. The technologies described herein advance the current state of home automation and sleep devices. For example, personalized analysis, population-based analysis, and sub-population analysis of sleep data may be used to generate personalized automation and recommendations for the user. This can generate technologies that provide users with human-readable information about sleep, along with actionable information that is specifically and concretely created based on the actual interactions the user has with their environment. Furthermore, automation of the user's environment may be performed within the same sleep session where problems that could otherwise negatively impact the user's sleep have been identified. Other features, embodiments, and potential advantages will become apparent from the attached description and drawings. Figure 1 shows an exemplary airbed system.
