Patent US10300241


Issued 2019-05-28

Method And Apparatus For Controlling Temperature Adjustment Device

A method and an apparatus for controlling a temperature adjustment device using a sensing device are provided. The method includes setting a test temperature, transmitting a temperature adjustment instruction corresponding to the test temperature to a temperature adjustment device, calculating a sleep score based on bio information received from the sensor, when applying the test temperature, and determining a sleep optimal temperature based on the calculated sleep score.

2 Independent Claims

  • 1. An electronic device for receiving user information from a sensor, the electronic device comprising: a transceiver configured to transmit a temperature control instruction to a temperature adjustment device; and at least one processor configured to: control the transceiver to transmit a first temperature control instruction to the temperature adjustment device such that the temperature adjustment device operates to maintain a first temperature, calculate a sleep score based on the user information received from the sensor when applying the first temperature, and determine a sleep optimal temperature based on the calculated sleep score, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: determine temperature sensitivity based on the user information, determine threshold range at the sleep optimal temperature based on the temperature sensitivity and the sleep optimal temperature, and control the transceiver to transmit a second temperature control instruction to the temperature adjustment device such that the temperature adjustment device operates within the threshold range of the temperature.

  • 13. A method of controlling an electronic device for receiving user information from a sensor, the method comprising: transmitting, by a transceiver, a first temperature control instruction to a temperature adjustment device such that the temperature adjustment device operates to maintain a first temperature; calculating, by the at least one processor, a sleep score based on the user information received from the sensor when applying the test temperature; and determining, by the at least one processor, a sleep optimal temperature based on the calculated sleep score, wherein the method is further comprising: determining, by the at least one processor, temperature sensitivity based on the user information; determining, by the at least one processor, threshold range at the sleep optimal temperature based on the temperature sensitivity and the sleep optimal temperature; and transmitting, by the at least one processor, a second temperature control instruction to the temperature adjustment device such that the temperature adjustment device operates within the threshold range of the temperature.
