US10383568

1. A method for providing a sleep determination for a user with a first computing device programmed to perform the method, comprising: (6) (5)

provisionally determining, by the first computing device, that the user of the first computing device is sleeping based on data indicating that the user is not currently using the first computing device to provide a provisional determination that the user is sleeping;

receiving, by the first computing device, a communication from a second device indicating that conscious human activity is being performed with respect to the second device that is unrelated to the first computing device, wherein the communication includes a second identifier that identifies a user account corresponding to an operator of the second device;

comparing, by the first computing device, the second identifier received from the second computing device to a first identifier that identifies a user account corresponding to the user of the first computing device;

determining, by the first computing device, whether the conscious human activity is being performed by the user of the first computing device based on the comparison of the first identifier and the second identifier; and

revising, by the first computing device, the provisional determination that the user is sleeping to indicate that the user is awake in response to a determination that the conscious human activity is being performed by the user of the first computing device in order to provide a more accurate sleep determination for the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (3)

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (3)

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (3)

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining that the second device is a personal device of the user of the first computing device, and (0) (1)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication from the second device further indicates that the conscious human activity is being performed with respect to a third device. (1) (0)

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes: (6) (5)

provisionally determining, by a first computing device, that a user of the first computing device is sleeping based on data indicating that the user is not currently using the first computing device to provide a provisional determination that the user is sleeping;

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (1)

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (3)

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (3)

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (3)

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (2)

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the communication from the second device further indicates that the conscious human activity is being performed with respect to a third device. (1) (0)

17. A system comprising: (6) (2)

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes: provisionally determining, by a first computing device, that a user of the first computing device is sleeping based on data indicating that the user is not currently using the first computing device to provide a provisional determination that the user is sleeping;

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (1)

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (3)

20. The system of claim 17, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (3)

21. The system of claim 17, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (3)

22. The system of claim 17, wherein the instructions cause: (0) (2)

23. The system of claim 17, wherein the communication from the second device further indicates that the conscious human activity is being performed with respect to a third device. (1) (0)
