Control System for Environmental Conditions of Bedroom-Space based on Distributed Sensing of Bedclothes

Abstract

This paper examines a system for monitoring a bedroom space using multi-point sensing of bedclothes. This system detects the sleeping state using environmental information that affects discomfort at bedtime, such as the temperature and water vapor content in the bedding. In addition, we focused on the influence of the bedroom space on the sleeping state, and investigated a method to reduce the discomfort level by adjusting the room temperature using IoT devices. Experimental results show the feasibility of the method.
