System For Determining The Quality Of Sleep
Embodiments of the present invention provide a distributed computer system and a method for determining the quality of sleep of a sleeping user 340. The distributed computer system will determine the quality of sleep by detecting the changes in body posture of the sleeping user 340. The quality of sleep will be determined by the feature vectors associated with each posture of the sleeping user 340. The posture of the user will be determined by recording a body motion signal 200 caused by the mechanical and muscle movements of the body of the user.

- 1. A method of determining quality of sleep of at least one user (340), the method comprising:
recording (100) a body motion signal (200) using a peripheral device (300); arranging (110) a communication connection between said peripheral device (300) and a mobile subscriber terminal (320); communicating (120) said body motion signal (200) to a third party software application executing in said mobile subscriber terminal (320); characterized in that, determining (140) body posture changes of said at least one user (340) using both said body motion signal (200) and a respiration cycle amplitude (210) signal of the user, wherein the determination of body posture changes of said at least one user (340) is used in determining the quality of sleep.
- 10. A distributed computer system for determining quality of sleep of at least one user (340), the distributed computer system comprising:
a mobile subscriber terminal (320); a peripheral device (300) arranged to record a body motion signal (200) and to communicate said body motion signal (200) to a third party software application; characterized in that, the mobile subscriber terminal (320) comprises a processor (470) to execute the third party software application, wherein the third party application is arranged to determine body posture changes of the at least one user (340) based on said body motion signal (200) and a respiration cycle amplitude (210) signal of the user, wherein the determination of the body posture changes of said at least one user is configured to be used in determining the quality of sleep.
- 21. A computer program product for determining the quality of sleep of at least one user (340), the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, said computer-readable program code portions comprising instructions for:
recording (100) a body motion signal (200) using a peripheral device; arranging (110) a communication connection between the peripheral device (300) and a mobile subscriber terminal (320); communicating (120) said body motion signal (200) to a third party software application executing in said mobile subscriber terminal (320); characterized in that, determining (140) body posture changes of the at least one user based on said body motion signal (200) and a respiration cycle amplitude signal of the user, wherein the determination of the body posture changes of said at least one user is used to determine the quality of sleep.
