Audio Tone Programmed Hygienic And Therapeutic Sleep And Wake Eye Mask Having Remotely Controlled Sunrise And Sunset Multimodes
An eye mask for use to wake up and/or to go to sleep provides ease of cleaning or replacement without damaging electrical or optical components; different user selectable sunrise and sunset illumination modes respectively having blue-shifted and red-shifted spectra simulating natural sunrises and sunsets to assimilate the sleep/wake cycle to the natural rhythms of day and night; sunset and/or sunrise illumination modes that oscillate with fixed period or sequentially changing periods that correspond to brainwave frequencies that respectively facilitate going to sleep and/or waking and synergistically co-operate with corresponding sunset or sunrise light fields to help the user to fall into restful sleep or to awake refreshed and alert; and audio tone programming of illumination mode and treatment time and/or duration of therapy by a remote tone control generator.

- 1. A low-cost remotely programmable therapeutic sleep and wake eye mask having remotely controlled sleep and wake illumination multimodes, comprising:
a programmable tone generator having a user interface (UI) that generates a uniquely coded tone sequence of tones in accord with a tone control protocol that encodes information representative of time, duration, and illumination mode such that said uniquely coded tone sequence of tones represents the time, duration, and illumination mode selected in accord with user input time, duration and illumination mode selection entered on said user interface; a flexible and comfortable member adapted to fit the head and to be worn over the eyes having light-tight left and right eye cavities confronting the left and right eyes; and an electro-optical module carried by said member including an electronics module having a controller operable in set/program state and in run state, a communication interface, and a light source providing illumination in said left and right eye cavities of said member; wherein said controller of said electronics module of said electro-optical module carried by said member is operative in said set/program state in response to receipt via said communication interface of said uniquely coded tone sequence of tones generated by said programmable tone generator to decode the uniquely coded tone sequence of tones and to set its illumination multimode, time, and duration in accord therewith; and wherein said controller is operative in said run mode to actuate said light source to generate the illumination of the illumination multimode selected in the left and right eye cavities of said member at the time and for the duration selected.
