Bed Having Snore Control Based On Partner Response
A controller is configured to receive one or more streams of data, each stream of data representing a sensed phenomenon in the environment of a bed on which a first user is sleeping and a second user is sleeping. The controller is further configured to determine that the first user is experiencing restless sleep. The controller is further configured to determine that the second user is snoring. The controller is further configured to issue a snore-control command to a controllable home automation device such that the controllable home automation device alters a feature of the second user's sleeping environment in a way that is likely to reduce the second user's snoring. The controller is further configured to determine again that that the second user is still snoring and issue a second snore-control command.

- 1. A system comprising:
a controller comprising a processor and computer-readable memory, the controller configured to:
receive, from one or more sensors, one or more streams of data, each stream of data representing a sensed phenomenon in the environment of a bed on which a first user is sleeping and a second user is sleeping;
determine, from at least one of the received one or more streams of data, that the first user is experiencing restless sleep;
determine, from at least one of the received one or more streams of data, that the second user is snoring;
responsive to determining that the first user is experiencing restless sleep and that the second user is snoring, issue a snore-control command to a controllable home automation device such that the controllable home automation device alters a feature of the second user's sleeping environment in a way that is likely to reduce the second user's snoring;
determine again, from at least one of the received one or more streams of data, that that the second user is still snoring after the controllable home automation device alters the feature of the second user's sleep environment; and
responsive to the determining again, issue a second snore-control command.
- 17. A system comprising:
means for supporting a first user that is sleeping and for supporting a second user that is sleeping; and a controller comprising a processor and computer-readable memory, the controller configured to:
receive, from one or more sensors, one or more streams of data, each stream of data representing a sensed phenomenon in the environment of the first user and the second user;
determine, from at least one of the received one or more streams of data, that the first user is experiencing restless sleep;
determine, from at least one of the received one or more streams of data, that the second user is snoring;
responsive to determining that the first user is experiencing restless sleep and that the second user is snoring, issue a snore-control command to a controllable home automation device such that the controllable home automation device alters a feature of the second user's sleeping environment in a way that is likely to reduce the second user's snoring;
determine again, from at least one of the received one or more streams of data, that that the second user is still snoring after the controllable home automation device alters the feature of the second user's sleep environment; and
responsive to the determining again, issue a second snore-control command.
