1.-15. (canceled) (0)

16. An analyzing unit for connection to a sensor, which can be coupled to a sleeping or reclining furniture to detect vibration, movement, and/or sound, said analyzing unit being configured (7) (3)

to process and analyze a signal generated by the sensor,

to detect a physiological parameter of a person using the sleeping or reclining furniture, and

to transmit data reflective of the detected physiological parameter to an external component.

17. The analyzing unit of claim 16, configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with an external mass storage unit as the external component. (1) (0)

19. The analyzing unit of claim 16, configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with a component of a building automation system. (0)

20. The analyzing unit of claim 16, configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with a control unit of an electric motor furniture drive. (1) (0)

22. The analyzing unit of claim 16, configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with a mobile device. (0)

23. The analyzing unit of claim 16, comprising a filter, in particular a low-pass filter or a bandpass filter, for signal processing. (0)

24. The analyzing unit of claim 16, comprising a storage unit for buffering a time curve of the physiological parameter. (0)

25. The analyzing unit of claim 16, comprising a transmission unit for a wireless data transmission, in particular via a WEAN or Bluetooth transmission link. (0)

26. A method for analyzing signals of a sensor, which is coupled to sleeping or reclining furniture to detect vibration, movement, and/or sound, said method comprising: (3) (3)

detecting sensor data generated by the sensor at a first repetition frequency;

analyzing the sensor data in a local analyzing unit and ascertaining a physiological parameter at a second repetition frequency, which is less than the first repetition frequency; and

transmitting the ascertained physiological parameter to an external component which is further remote from the sensor than the analyzing unit.

27. The method of claim 26, wherein the detected physiological parameter is a heart rate, a respiratory rate, a movement behavior, and/or a snoring behavior of at least one person. (0)

28. The method of claim 26, wherein the physiological parameter is buffered in the local analyzing unit in the form of time curves, before being transferred to the external component. (1) (0)

30. A sleeping or reclining furniture, in particular a bed, comprising: (7) (3)

a sensor configured to detect vibration, movement, and/or sound; and

an analyzing unit connected to the sensor and configured to process and analyze a signal generated by the sensor, to detect a physiological parameter of a person using the sleeping or reclining furniture, and to transmit data reflective of the detected physiological parameter to an external component,

said sleeping or reclining furniture being configured to execute a method as set forth in claim 26.

31. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit is configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with an external mass storage unit as the external component. (1) (0)

33. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit is configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with a component of a building automation system. (0)

34. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit is configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with a control unit of an electric motor furniture drive. (1) (0)

36. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit is configured to transmit the data to or to exchange the data with a mobile device. (0)

37. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit comprises a filter for signal processing, in particular a low-pass filter or a bandpass filter. (0)

38. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit comprises a storage unit for buffering a time curve of the physiological parameter. (0)

39. The sleeping or reclining furniture of claim 30, wherein the analyzing unit comprises a transmission unit for a wireless data transmission, in particular via a WLAN or Bluetooth transmission link. (0)
