Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.

This disclosure relates to bed systems (such as an airbed or other type of bed) that include a mattress and a foundation that can be connected to each other using, for example, mechanical mechanisms. The bed system can include one or more attachment mechanisms that can connect the mattress and the foundation to each other. For example, a bed system can include a plurality of mattress attachment mechanisms that can include a strap and a connector assembly that is configured to hold the strap. Exemplary embodiments of the strap can include a clasp, a slit, or other connectors that interface with and connect to a button, rotatable lever, or other attachments to connect the mattress to the foundation. In some aspects, the connection of the clasp, slit, or other connector to the button, rotatable lever, or other attachment pulls the mattress and foundation together and reduces or minimizes a gap between the mattress and the foundation. The reduced and/or minimized gap can provide improved contouring of the mattress to the foundation as the foundation is articulated into various positions.

shows an example air bed systemthat includes a bed. The bedcan be a mattress that includes at least one air or fluid chambersurrounded by a resilient borderand encapsulated by bed ticking. The resilient bordercan comprise any suitable material, such as foam. In some implementations, the resilient bordercan combine with a top layer or layers of foam (not shown in) to form an upside down foam tub. In other implementations, mattress structure can be varied as suitable for the application.

As illustrated in, the bedcan be a two chamber design having first and second fluid chambers, such as a first air chamberA and a second air chamberB. Sometimes, the bedcan include chambers for use with fluids other than air that are suitable for the application. For example, the fluids can include liquid. In some implementations, such as single beds or kids' beds, the bedcan include a single air chamberA orB or multiple air chambersA andB. Although not depicted, sometimes, the bedcan include additional air chambers. In other implementations, the bedmay not include any air or fluid chambers.

The first and second air chambersA andB can be in fluid communication with a pump. The pumpcan be in electrical communication with a remote controlvia control box. The control boxcan include a wired or wireless communications interface for communicating with one or more devices, including the remote control. The control boxcan be configured to operate the pumpto cause increases and decreases in the fluid pressure of the first and second air chambersA andB based upon commands input by a user using the remote control. In some implementations, the control boxis integrated into a housing of the pump. Moreover, sometimes, the pumpcan be in wireless communication (e.g., via a home network, WIFI, BLUETOOTH, or other wireless network) with a mobile device via the control box. The mobile device can include but is not limited to the user's smartphone, cell phone, laptop, tablet, computer, wearable device, home automation device, or other computing device. A mobile application can be presented at the mobile device and provide functionality for the user to control the bedand view information about the bed. The user can input commands in the mobile application presented at the mobile device. The inputted commands can be transmitted to the control box, which can operate the pumpbased upon the commands.

The remote controlcan include a display, an output selecting mechanism, a pressure increase button, and a pressure decrease button. The remote controlcan include one or more additional output selecting mechanisms and/or buttons. The displaycan present information to the user about settings of the bed. For example, the displaycan present pressure settings of both the first and second air chambersA andB or one of the first and second air chambersA andB. Sometimes, the displaycan be a touch screen, and can receive input from the user indicating one or more commands to control pressure in the first and second air chambersA andB and/or other settings of the bed.

The output selecting mechanismcan allow the user to switch air flow generated by the pumpbetween the first and second air chambersA andB, thus enabling control of multiple air chambers with a single remote controland a single pump. For example, the output selecting mechanismcan by a physical control (e.g., switch or button) or an input control presented on the display. Alternatively, separate remote control units can be provided for each air chamberA andB and can each include the ability to control multiple air chambers. Pressure increase and decrease buttonsandcan allow the user to increase or decrease the pressure, respectively, in the air chamber selected with the output selecting mechanism. Adjusting the pressure within the selected air chamber can cause a corresponding adjustment to the firmness of the respective air chamber. In some implementations, the remote controlcan be omitted or modified as appropriate for an application.

is a block diagram of an example of various components of an air bed system. These components can be used in the example air bed system. The control boxcan include a power supply, a processor, a memory, a switching mechanism, and an analog to digital (A/D) converter. The switching mechanismcan be, for example, a relay or a solid state switch. In some implementations, the switching mechanismcan be located in the pumprather than the control box. The pumpand the remote controlcan be in two-way communication with the control box. The pumpincludes a motor, a pump manifold, a relief valve, a first control valveA, a second control valveB, and a pressure transducer. The pumpis fluidly connected with the first air chamberA and the second air chamberB via a first tubeA and a second tubeB, respectively. The first and second control valvesA andB can be controlled by switching mechanism, and are operable to regulate the flow of fluid between the pumpand first and second air chambersA andB, respectively.

In some implementations, the pumpand the control boxcan be provided and packaged as a single unit. In some implementations, the pumpand the control boxcan be provided as physically separate units. The control box, the pump, or both can be integrated within or otherwise contained within a bed frame, foundation, or bed support structure that supports the bed. Sometimes, the control box, the pump, or both can be located outside of a bed frame, foundation, or bed support structure (as shown in the example in).

The air bed systeminincludes the two air chambersA andB and the single pumpof the beddepicted in. However, other implementations can include an air bed system having two or more air chambers and one or more pumps incorporated into the air bed system to control the air chambers. For example, a separate pump can be associated with each air chamber. As another example, a pump can be associated with multiple chambers. A first pump can be associated with air chambers that extend longitudinally from a left side to a midpoint of the air bed systemand a second pump can be associated with air chambers that extend longitudinally from a right side to the midpoint of the air bed system. Separate pumps can allow each air chamber to be inflated or deflated independently and/or simultaneously. Additional pressure transducers can also be incorporated into the air bed systemsuch that a separate pressure transducer can be associated with each air chamber.

As an illustrative example, in use, the processorcan send a decrease pressure command to one of air chambersA orB, and the switching mechanismcan convert the low voltage command signals sent by the processorto higher operating voltages sufficient to operate the relief valveof the pumpand open the respective control valveA orB. Opening the relief valvecan allow air to escape from the air chamberA orB through the respective air tubeA orB. During deflation, the pressure transducercan send pressure readings to the processorvia the A/D converter. The A/D convertercan receive analog information from pressure transducerand can convert the analog information to digital information useable by the processor. The processorcan send the digital signal to the remote controlto update the displayto convey the pressure information to the user. The processorcan also send the digital signal to other devices in wired or wireless communication with the air bed system, including but not limited to mobile devices described herein. The user can then view pressure information associated with the air bed system at their device instead of at, or in addition to, the remote control.

As another example, the processorcan send an increase pressure command. The pump motorcan be energized in response to the increase pressure command and send air to the designated one of the air chambersA orB through the air tubeA orB via electronically operating the corresponding valveA orB. While air is being delivered to the designated air chamberA orB to increase the chamber firmness, the pressure transducercan sense pressure within the pump manifold. The pressure transducercan send pressure readings to the processorvia the A/D converter. The processorcan use the information received from the A/D converterto determine the difference between the actual pressure in air chamberA orB and the desired pressure. The processorcan send the digital signal to the remote controlto update display.

Generally speaking, during an inflation or deflation process, the pressure sensed within the pump manifoldcan provide an approximation of the actual pressure within the respective air chamber that is in fluid communication with the pump manifold. An example method includes turning off the pump, allowing the pressure within the air chamberA orB and the pump manifoldto equalize, then sensing the pressure within the pump manifoldwith the pressure transducer. Providing a sufficient amount of time to allow the pressures within the pump manifoldand chamberA orB to equalize can result in pressure readings that are accurate approximations of actual pressure within air chamberA orB. In some implementations, the pressure of the air chambersA and/orB can be continuously monitored using multiple pressure sensors (not shown). The pressure sensors can be positioned within the air chambers. The pressure sensors can also be fluidly connected to the air chambers, such as along the air tubesA andB.

In some implementations, information collected by the pressure transducercan be analyzed to determine various states of a user laying on the bed. For example, the processorcan use information collected by the pressure transducerto determine a heartrate or a respiration rate for the user. As an illustrative example, the user can be laying on a side of the bedthat includes the chamberA. The pressure transducercan monitor fluctuations in pressure of the chamberA, and this information can be used to determine the user's heartrate and/or respiration rate. As another example, additional processing can be performed using the collected data to determine a sleep state of the user (e.g., awake, light sleep, deep sleep). For example, the processorcan determine when the user falls asleep and, while asleep, the various sleep states (e.g., sleep stages) of the user. Based on the determined heartrate, respiration rate, and/or sleep states of the user, the processorcan determine information about the user's sleep quality. The processorcan, for example, determine how well the user slept during a particular sleep cycle. The processorcan also determine user sleep cycle trends. Accordingly, the processorcan generate recommendations to improve the user's sleep quality and overall sleep cycle. Information that is determined about the user's sleep cycle (e.g., heartrate, respiration rate, sleep states, sleep quality, recommendations to improve sleep quality, etc.) can be transmitted to the user's mobile device and presented in a mobile application, as described above.

Additional information associated with the user of the air bed systemthat can be determined using information collected by the pressure transducerincludes user motion, presence on a surface of the bed, weight, heart arrhythmia, snoring, partner snore, and apnea. One or more other health conditions of the user can also be determined based on the information collected by the pressure transducer. Taking user presence detection for example, the pressure transducercan be used to detect the user's presence on the bed, e.g., via a gross pressure change determination and/or via one or more of a respiration rate signal, heartrate signal, and/or other biometric signals. Detection of the user's presence can be beneficial to determine, by the processor, adjustment(s) to make to settings of the bed(e.g., adjusting a firmness when the user is present to a user-preferred firmness setting) and/or peripheral devices (e.g., turning off lights when the user is present, activating a heating or cooling system, etc.).

For example, a simple pressure detection process can identify an increase in pressure as an indication that the user is present. As another example, the processorcan determine that the user is present if the detected pressure increases above a specified threshold (so as to indicate that a person or other object above a certain weight is positioned on the bed). As yet another example, the processorcan identify an increase in pressure in combination with detected slight, rhythmic fluctuations in pressure as corresponding to the user being present. The presence of rhythmic fluctuations can be identified as being caused by respiration or heart rhythm (or both) of the user. The detection of respiration or a heartbeat can distinguish between the user being present on the bed and another object (e.g., a suitcase, a pet, a pillow, etc.) being placed thereon.

In some implementations, pressure fluctuations can be measured at the pump. For example, one or more pressure sensors can be located within one or more internal cavities of the pumpto detect pressure fluctuations within the pump. The fluctuations detected at the pumpcan indicate pressure fluctuations in the chambersA and/orB. One or more sensors located at the pumpcan be in fluid communication with the chambersA and/orB, and the sensors can be operative to determine pressure within the chambersA and/orB. The control boxcan be configured to determine at least one vital sign (e.g., heartrate, respiratory rate) based on the pressure within the chamberA or the chamberB.

The control boxcan also analyze a pressure signal detected by one or more pressure sensors to determine a heartrate, respiration rate, and/or other vital signs of the user lying or sitting on the chamberA and/orB. More specifically, when a user lies on the bedand is positioned over the chamberA, each of the user's heart beats, breaths, and other movements (e.g., hand, arm, leg, foot, or other gross body movements) can create a force on the bedthat is transmitted to the chamberA. As a result of this force input, a wave can propagate through the chamberA and into the pump. A pressure sensor located at the pumpcan detect the wave, and thus the pressure signal outputted by the sensor can indicate a heartrate, respiratory rate, or other information regarding the user.

With regard to sleep state, the air bed systemcan determine the user's sleep state by using various biometric signals such as heartrate, respiration, and/or movement of the user. While the user is sleeping, the processorcan receive one or more of the user's biometric signals (e.g., heartrate, respiration, motion, etc.) and can determine the user's present sleep state based on the received biometric signals. In some implementations, signals indicating fluctuations in pressure in one or both of the chambersA andB can be amplified and/or filtered to allow for more precise detection of heartrate and respiratory rate.

Sometimes, the processorcan receive additional biometric signals of the user from one or more other sensors or sensor arrays positioned on or otherwise integrated into the air bed system. For example, one or more sensors can be attached or removably attached to a top surface of the air bed systemand configured to detect signals such as heartrate, respiration rate, and/or motion. The processorcan combine biometric signals received from pressure sensors located at the pump, the pressure transducer, and/or the sensors positioned throughout the air bed systemto generate accurate and more precise information about the user and their sleep quality.

Sometimes, the control boxcan perform a pattern recognition algorithm or other calculation based on the amplified and filtered pressure signal(s) to determine the user's heartrate and/or respiratory rate. For example, the algorithm or calculation can be based on assumptions that a heartrate portion of the signal has a frequency in a range of 0.5-4.0 Hz and that a respiration rate portion of the signal has a frequency in a range of less than 1 Hz. Sometimes, the control boxcan use one or more machine learning models to determine the user's health information. The models can be trained using training data that includes training pressure signals and expected heartrates and/or respiratory rates. Sometimes, the control boxcan determine user health information by using a lookup table that corresponds to sensed pressure signals.

The control boxcan also be configured to determine other characteristics of the user based on the received pressure signal, such as blood pressure, tossing and turning movements, rolling movements, limb movements, weight, presence or lack of presence of the user, and/or the identity of the user.

For example, the pressure transducercan be used to monitor the air pressure in the chambersA andB of the bed. If the user on the bedis not moving, the air pressure changes in the air chamberA orB can be relatively minimal, and can be attributable to respiration and/or heartbeat. When the user on the bedis moving, however, the air pressure in the mattress can fluctuate by a much larger amount. The pressure signals generated by the pressure transducerand received by the processorcan be filtered and indicated as corresponding to motion, heartbeat, or respiration. The processorcan attribute such fluctuations in air pressure to the user's sleep quality. Such attributions can be determined based on applying one or more machine learning models and/or algorithms to the pressure signals. For example, if the user shifts and turns a lot during a sleep cycle (for example, in comparison to historic trends of the user's sleep cycles), the processorcan determine that the user experienced poor sleep during that particular sleep cycle.

In some implementations, rather than performing the data analysis in the control boxwith the processor, a digital signal processor (DSP) can be provided to analyze the data collected by the pressure transducer. Alternatively, the collected data can be sent to a cloud-based computing system for remote analysis.

In some implementations, the example air bed systemfurther includes a temperature controller configured to increase, decrease, or maintain a temperature of the bed, for example for the comfort of the user. For example, a pad (e.g., mat, layer, etc.) can be placed on top of or be part of the bed, or can be placed on top of or be part of one or both of the chambersA andB. Air can be pushed through the pad and vented to cool off the user on the bed. Additionally or alternatively, the pad can include a heating element used to keep the user warm. In some implementations, the temperature controller can receive temperature readings from the pad. The temperature controller can determine whether the temperature readings are less than or greater than some threshold range and/or value. Based on this determination, the temperature controller can actuate components to push air through the pad to cool off the user or active the heating element. In some implementations, separate pads are used for different sides of the bed(e.g., corresponding to the locations of the chambersA andB) to provide for differing temperature control for the different sides of the bed. Each pad can be selectively controlled by the temperature controller to provide cooling or heating preferred by each user on the different sides of the bed. For example, a first user on a left side of the bedcan prefer to have their side of the bedcooled during the night while a second user on a right side of the bedcan prefer to have their side of the bedwarmed during the night.

In some implementations, the user of the air bed systemcan use an input device, such as the remote controlor a mobile device as described above, to input a desired temperature for a surface of the bed(or for a portion of the surface of the bed, for example at a foot region, a lumbar or waist region, a shoulder region, and/or a head region of the bed). The desired temperature can be encapsulated in a command data structure that includes the desired temperature and also identifies the temperature controller as the desired component to be controlled. The command data structure can then be transmitted via Bluetooth or another suitable communication protocol (e.g., WIFI, a local network, etc.) to the processor. In various examples, the command data structure is encrypted before being transmitted. The temperature controller can then configure its elements to increase or decrease the temperature of the pad depending on the temperature input provided at the remote controlby the user.

In some implementations, data can be transmitted from a component back to the processoror to one or more display devices, such as the displayof the remote controller. For example, the current temperature as determined by a sensor element of a temperature controller, the pressure of the bed, the current position of the foundation or other information can be transmitted to control box. The control boxcan transmit this information to the remote controlto be displayed to the user (e.g., on the display). As described above, the control boxcan also transmit the received information to a mobile device to be displayed in a mobile application or other graphical user interface (GUI) to the user.

In some implementations, the example air bed systemfurther includes an adjustable foundation and an articulation controller configured to adjust the position of the bedby adjusting the adjustable foundation supporting the bed. For example, the articulation controller can adjust the bedfrom a flat position to a position in which a head portion of a mattress of the bed is inclined upward (e.g., to facilitate a user sitting up in bed and/or watching television). The bedcan also include multiple separately articulable sections. As an illustrative example, the bedcan include one or more of a head portion, a lumbar/waist portion, a leg portion, and/or a foot portion, all of which can be separately articulable. As another example, portions of the bedcorresponding to the locations of the chambersA andB can be articulated independently from each other, to allow one user positioned on the bedsurface to rest in a first position (e.g., a flat position or other desired position) while a second user rests in a second position (e.g., a reclining position with the head raised at an angle from the waist or another desired position). Separate positions can also be set for two different beds (e.g., two twin beds placed next to each other). The foundation of the bedcan include more than one zone that can be independently adjusted.

Sometimes, the bedcan be adjusted to one or more user-defined positions based on user input and/or user preferences. For example, the bedcan automatically adjust, by the articulation controller, to one or more user-defined settings. As another example, the user can control the articulation controller to adjust the bedto one or more user-defined positions. Sometimes, the bedcan be adjusted to one or more positions that may provide the user with improved or otherwise improve sleep and sleep quality. For example, a head portion on one side of the bedcan be automatically articulated, by the articulation controller, when one or more sensors of the air bed systemdetect that a user sleeping on that side of the bedis snoring. As a result, the user's snoring can be mitigated so that the snoring does not wake up another user sleeping in the bed.

In some implementations, the bedcan be adjusted using one or more devices in communication with the articulation controller or instead of the articulation controller. For example, the user can change positions of one or more portions of the bedusing the remote controldescribed above. The user can also adjust the bedusing a mobile application or other graphical user interface presented at a mobile computing device of the user.

The articulation controller can also provide different levels of massage to one or more portions of the bedfor one or more users. The user(s) can adjust one or more massage settings for the portions of the bedusing the remote controland/or a mobile device in communication with the air bed system.

shows another example bed systemthat includes a mattressand an articulable foundation. The mattresscan be positioned on top of the foundationto provide a comfortable, supportive sleep area for the user. The mattresscan include a support structure (see e.g., the air chambersA,B surrounded by the resilient borderas shown in) encapsulated by an outer fabric layer. The mattresscan include a top, a bottom, and sidesextending between the topand the bottom. The foundationcan include one or more sections,,, and. One or more of the sections,,, andcan be articulable sections (e.g. panels or platforms) for positioning various sections of the mattressinto various spatial configurations, as desired by the user. The foundationcan move into the various spatial configurations by changing the heights and adjusting the angles of one or more of its articulable sections,,, andrelative to one another.

The bottomof the mattresscan be coupled to the foundationby one or more mattress attachment mechanisms(further illustrated in) such that the mattressdoes not slide along a top surface of the foundationwhen the articulable sections,,, andchange their positions and can potentially move the mattressthereon. This allows the mattressto remain aligned with the foundationwhen articulated such that the mattressdoes not slide out of alignment with the foundation. The one or more mattress attachment mechanismscan hold the mattressin position to reduce or prevent movement of the mattressfrom sliding out of position with respect to the foundation(e.g. avoid falling off the foundation). The one or more mattress attachment mechanismscan reduce or minimize a gap between the mattressand the foundation. The one or more mattress attachment mechanismscan maintain the mattressin a consistent and predictable position that prevents or restricts the mattressfrom bunching against an adjacent structure such as a wall or a head or foot frame. The mattress attachment mechanismscan thus provide a secure and reliable method of attaching or detaching the mattressto the foundation.

shows a detailed view of a mattress attachment mechanismcoupling the mattressto the foundationof. In the depicted implementation, the mattress attachment mechanismcan be attached to a portion of the mattress(e.g., the outer fabric layer) and a portion of the foundation. Respective parts of the mattress attachment mechanismcan be attached to portions of the mattressand foundationby one or more mechanical fasteners (e.g., adhesive, a screw, a nut, a bolt, a staple, a hook, or the like). As shown in, the outer fabric layercan be elastic so as to at least partially stretch when the mattress attachment mechanismis in tension. In some embodiments, the outer fabric layercan be a stiff fabric that has little or no stretch when the mattress attachment mechanismis in tension.

The mattress attachment mechanismcan include a strapand a connector assembly. The strapcan be configured to connect the mattressto the foundation. In some implementations, the straphas a claspon an end of the strap. The strapcan extend from the bottom surfaceof the mattress, and the claspcan be configured to connect to a buttonof the connector assembly. In other implementations, the strapcan extend from the foundationand connect to the mattress.

The connector assemblycan be attached to the foundation, and the connector assemblycan include a bar, a channel, and the button. The barcan extend across the channel, and the channelcan extend beneath the bar. In some implementations, the channelhas a depth to create an area for the strapand the claspto pass between the barand the channel. In some embodiments, the depth of the channelcan create a recessed channel that has a depth that extends below the top surface of the foundation. In some embodiments, the barcan be raised above a top surface of the connector assembly, and the strapand the claspcan pass between the barand the top surface of the connector assembly. The buttoncan be spaced apart from the barand can be configured to connect to the claspat the end of the strapto secure the strapto the connector assembly. In other implementations, the connector assemblycan be attached to the mattressand receive the strapand the claspthat extend from the foundation.
