The present invention relates to a pillow for well-being, and more particularly, to a pillow for well-being. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pillow for well-being, The present invention relates to a pillow for well-being.

People are known to use one-third of their lives and 7 to 8 hours a day to sleep. Because we use so much time to take sleep, proper sleep and comfortable sleep are the driving force to maintain the rhythm of the body smoothly and maintain healthy life.

In addition, each part of the body at rest when sleeping, the various hormones needed for physical maintenance activities are released, and accumulated mental and physical fatigue is eliminated, so it can not emphasize the importance of sleep.

Particularly, in recent years, as the quality of human life has improved, the importance of sleep has been recognized again, and there is a growing awareness of the importance of pillows that are essential for sleeping.

The pillow serves to support the head during sleep, relaxes the tension on the cervical spine, and smooths the circulation of blood supplied to the head. However, due to certain actions in the wrong posture or during sleep, And the body rhythm is broken after the meteorological phenomenon, and such undesirable sleeping is continued or repeated, and the health is deteriorated.

In the wrong posture during sleep, if you do not lie properly, you will not be able to sleep properly, or if you lie back on one side or face up, pressure on your face, neck, shoulder, or arm will be excessive and blood circulation will not be smooth. And snoring which occurs unconsciously during the sleep, and the apnea state are found to cause various diseases or cause diseases, and various methods and techniques for inducing the correct sleep are mobilized.

In particular, in order to improve various patterns of behavior occurring during sleep, each individual may be aware of his / her sleep pattern, but in general, he / she does not recognize his / her sleep pattern for various actions occurring during sleep There is an issue with that.

Accordingly, various sensors are installed on the pillow so as to understand the behavior pattern and physical condition of the person who uses the pillow during sleep, and various techniques that enable the pillow user to understand the various behavior patterns of the pillow user during sleep or the physical activity state at bedtime Has been proposed in the past.

The height and shape of the pillow are adjusted based on the data of the depth of the sleeping face, heartbeat, breathing, A sleep measurement device is provided.

That is, the conventional 'pillow type sleep surface measuring apparatus' is inconvenient for use as a general pillow because the pillow is formed of an air tube (air bag) to measure a user's living body signal with high accuracy. There are restrictions on the installation and configuration, and there is a disadvantage that the durability and usability of the apparatus are low.

Meanwhile, another well-known pillow system of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1383199 (registered on Apr. 2014, 04.02) has been developed as another prior art example in which the above-described conventional various pouring-related technologies are advanced.

The conventional 'wellness pillow system' includes a pillow body, a pillow body having a sensor unit for sensing sleeping information of a user and a first communication unit for transmitting sleeping information sensed by the sensor unit, Wow; A second communication unit for receiving the sleeping information transmitted from the first communication unit; and an analysis unit for analyzing the sleep pattern based on the sleeping information received through the second communication unit and the self-check result of the pre-registered sleeping pre- And an information processing apparatus having a part for analyzing a user's sleeping pattern by detecting a sleeping state of a user who is asleep, analyzing a user's sleeping pattern, and providing information about an objective sleeping pattern based on the user's sleeping information, Of the total number of patients.

In this case, a pressure sensor, a sound sensor, a pressure sensor, and the like for acquiring sleeping information of a sleeping person installed inside the pillow body are provided. In the case where the pillow is moved or twisted due to a pillow body having a certain cushion, Various sensors and circuit boards installed on the pillow are easily damaged, which is inconvenient when using pillows and has a disadvantage that durability is poor.

The pillow 100 of the present invention can also be used as an apparatus for providing a weather alarm.

That is, it has been known that the output waveforms of the EEG measured according to the sleep stages of the sleep cycle are different from each other, with a sleeping period (rhythm) 4 to 5 times during the average sleeping time (7 to 8 hours basis) / day of the general public.

The use of the present weather alarm apparatus can provide an alarm at the time of REM SLEEP. When the weather is induced at the REM sleep time, the weather is easy, and sudden increase in blood pressure and prevention of hypertension and stroke . ≪ / RTI >

That is, the sleep stages are classified into REM SLEEP and NON-REM SLEEP. The main features of each step are as shown in Table 1 below, which can be beneficial to sleep health.

division REM sleep (REM SLEEP) NON-REM SLEEP main
Characteristic
- Thin sleep (glass in the weather), a dream dream
- In vivo conditions (blood pressure, pulse) similar to waking, 30 minute cycle
- deep sleep
- Slow biological conditions (blood pressure, pulse), muscle relaxation, 60 minute cycle

The sleeping period can be grasped by using the EEG sensor in the pillow according to the present invention. However, even if the EEG sensor is not installed, the physiological characteristics such as respiration and pulse that occur when entering the REM SLEEP cycle, It is possible to determine the sleep cycle and to determine the timing of the weather by detecting the occurrence of the backwardness during the sleep and the contraction of the body muscle,

Changes in breathing can be detected through relatively inexpensive pressure sensors and sound sensors, which makes it much more economical than installing expensive EEG sensors.

In addition, when a general human sleep cycle has a regular cycle of a normal sleeping time of 60 minutes from the starting point of the sleep and a sleeping time of 30 minutes from the end of the normal sleeping time, it is possible to grasp the sleeping time have.

The process of providing the rising alarm in the pillow of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

After the user turns on the power source of the sleeping information obtaining unit and sets the scheduled time for the alarm to be provided (S1) and goes to sleep, the sensing unit is activated (S2). The information collected by the sensing unit is transmitted to the application program or application (S3), and the analyzing unit of the information processing apparatus detects a sleeping feature point that can be seen at the beginning of the sleep based on the transmitted signal (S4).

At this time, it is determined that the sleeping is started, and at the same time, the sleeping feature point detection time is checked and stored (S5). On the basis of the sleeping feature point detection time, 60 minutes of Nomel's water surface and 90 minutes The sleep cycle is calculated (S6).

Thereafter, the user is judged whether the weather-scheduled time set by the user is the RAM sleeping time (S7). When the weather-expected time does not correspond to the RAM sleeping time, the nearest RAM sleeping before or after the weathering scheduled time (S8), and provides a rising alarm to the sleeping pad near the scheduled airing time (S9 to S11).

With reference to this process and the sleep period table of FIG. Set 06 o'clock to the weather time, and P.M. Assuming that the sleep began at 11 o'clock, the 90-minute sleep cycle would allow each of the sleep cycles to include the sleep and the normal sleep at 00:30, 02:00, 03:30, 05:00, 06:30 This is to provide a weather alarm between the sleeping days from 06:00 to 06:30, which is closest to 06:00, which is the weather time.

It is most preferable to provide an alarm at the midpoint of the RAM sleeping device, and it is illustrated that the alarm is designed to be provided at A2 point, i.e., 06:15 in the illustrated example.

In the example above, you can see that the alarm is provided after 06:00 of the alarm time set by the user. If necessary, you can select the operation mode to provide the weather alarm to the RAM sleepers in the range before user set time .

That is, when the user applies this operation mode in the same environment, the alarm operates to sound on the RAM sleepers before 06 o'clock, and an alarm is provided at point A1.

Instead of providing an alarm at the midpoint of the REM sleeping area, you can also set it to ring at the REM sleeping closet closest to the scheduled time of the alarm, and you can also make it ring at the user's option Do.

In the alarm provision described above, a segment can be configured in the present invention in order to effectively check the time corresponding to the repeated sleeping state at a predetermined time period.
