US20190074988

1. A sleep management method comprising: (3) (4)

obtaining sleep data of a user;

obtaining a sleep state of the user on the basis of the sleep data; and

controlling at least one home appliance on the basis of the sleep state of the user,

wherein the sleep data includes signals corresponding to a heart rate, respiration rate, and movement of the user detected by a piezoelectric sensor.

2. The sleep management method of claim 1, wherein the obtaining a sleep state of the user on the basis of the sleep data comprises: (0) (2)

3. The sleep management method of claim 1, wherein the obtaining a sleep state of the user on the basis of the sleep data comprises: (0) (2)

4. The sleep management method of claim 1, wherein the controlling at least one home appliance on the basis of the sleep state of the user comprises: (3) (3)

providing a graphic user interface for controlling operation of the at least one home appliance to the user;

receiving a user input from the user through the graphic user interface; and

storing setting information for controlling the operation of the at least one home appliance according to the user input.

5. The sleep management method of claim 4, (0) (2)

6. The sleep management method of claim 4, (0) (4)

wherein the providing a graphic user interface comprises displaying a sleep environment setting screen for setting a sleep induction temperature for inducing the user's sleep, a sleep maintenance temperature for maintaining the user's sleep, and a sleep stop temperature for stopping the user's sleep, and

wherein the controlling at least one home appliance comprises:

transmitting the sleep induction temperature, the sleep maintenance temperature, and the sleep stop temperature set through the sleep environment setting screen to the at least one home appliance, and

switching an operation mode of the at least one home appliance in response to detecting the user's sleep.

7. The sleep management method of claim 4, (0) (2)

8. A user terminal comprising: (3) (5)

a communicator configured to communicate with a sleep data acquisition apparatus and at least one home appliance; and

a controller configured to, in response to receiving sleep data from the sleep data acquisition apparatus through the communicator:

obtain a sleep state of a user on the basis of the sleep data, and

transmit a control signal based on the sleep state of the user to the at least one home appliance through the communicator,

wherein the sleep data includes signals corresponding to a heart rate, respiration rate, and movement of the user detected by a piezoelectric sensor.

9. The user terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller is configured to: (0) (2)

10. The user terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller is configured to: (0) (2)

11. The user terminal of claim 8, further comprising a display configured to display a graphic user interface for controlling operation of the at least one home appliance, (4) (3)

wherein the controller is configured to:

receive a user input from the user through the graphic user interface and

store setting information for controlling the operation of the at least one home appliance according to the user input.

12. The user terminal of claim 11, wherein the graphic user interface includes a sleep information display screen for displaying at least one of: (0) (6)

a total sleep time,

a time it takes the user to fall asleep,

a number of times the user wakes up while sleeping,

sleep efficiency,

a deep sleep time, or

a rapid eye movement sleep time of the user.

13. The user terminal of claim 11, (0) (2)

14. The user terminal of claim 11, (0) (7)

wherein the graphic user interface includes:

a sleep environment setting screen for setting a sleep induction temperature for inducing the user's sleep,

a sleep maintenance temperature for maintaining the user's sleep, and

a sleep stop temperature for stopping the user's sleep, and

wherein when the user's sleep is detected, the controller is configured to:

transmit the sleep induction temperature, the sleep maintenance temperature, and the sleep stop temperature set through the sleep environment setting screen to the at least one home appliance, and

switch an operation mode of the at least one home appliance.

15. The user terminal of claim 11, (0) (2)
