Sleeper Detection And Configuration Of Sleep Environments And Learning Methods To Optimize Sleep Quality
A bed includes environmental control components, which may be temperature control components and pressure adjustment components in some embodiments. The environmental control components may be configured to provide different sleep environments based on identity of sleepers using or expected to use the bed. A controller may determine a number of sleepers for the bed, identify the sleepers, and determine if there is an expectation of later arrival of sleeper in determining a configuration for the environmental control components in providing a sleep environment for the bed.

- 1. A bed system, comprising:
a sleep surface; sensors configured to sense sleepers on the sleep surface; components for conditioning a sleep environment of the sleep surface; and a controller configured to receive information from the sensors and to provide commands to the components for conditioning the sleep environment, the controller configured determine a number of sleepers on the sleep surface and to provide at least some different commands to the components based on at least a number of sleepers on the sleep surface; wherein the controller is further configured to determine identities of sleepers on the sleep surface based on information from the sensors and predetermined information regarding at least some of the sleepers.
- 16. A method of conditioning a bed for sleeping, comprising:
determining, by a controller, a number of sleepers in a bed; determining identities, by the controller, of the sleepers in the bed; and conditioning a sleep environment of the bed based on the number of sleepers and identities of the sleepers.
