SLEEP-POSTURE SENSING AND MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

In a system (10) for protecting a user from injury sustained during sleep, a sensing device (12) is operated to automatically monitor orientation or posture of a user during sleep of the user. A signal is transmitted from the sensing device (12) to a control unit (16), which is operated to activate an appliance (20) so that the appliance (20) generates an alert signal upon detection by the sensing device (12) and control unit (16) of an undesirable orientation or posture of the user.
