Classification: CPC A  G  H | IPC A  G  H

Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
a bedside device comprising a plurality of environmental sensors that are each capable of sensing at least one environmental phenomena of a sleep environment of a bed that is nearby, the bedside device further comprising a first network interface for communicating data with a computer system, the bedside device configured to:
sense a plurality of historic environmental phenomena of the sleep environment related to one or more historic sleep sessions;
for each sensed historic environmental phenomena of the sleep environment, send, to a computer system, a corresponding historic data message with a sensed historic parameter, each historic parameter having a type;

the computer system comprising at least one processor, memory, a housing, and a second network interface for communicating data with the bedside device, the computer system configured to:
receive the historic data messages; and
determine, for a user and for the plurality of historic sleep sessions and for each type of the sensed historic parameters, a target parameter;

wherein, for the current sleep session, the bedside device is further configured to:
sense a plurality of environmental phenomena related to the current sleep session
send, to a computer system, at least one data message with a sensed parameter from the sensing of the environmental phenomena in the current sleep session;

wherein, for the current sleep session, the computer system is further configured to:
receive the at least one data messages;
determine, from the sensed parameters, an indication that the sensed parameters indicate a low-quality sleep environment, comprising:
determine, for each sensed parameter, a target parameter;
determine, for each sensed parameter, a distance-from-target value; and
generate an environmental quality score based on the distance-from-target values; and

responsive to determining an indication that the sensed parameters indicate a low-quality sleep environment, send, to a controller system, an instruction to adjust the sleep environment; and

the controller system configured to:
receive the instruction to adjust the sleep environment; and
responsive to receiving the instruction to adjust the sleep environment, adjusting at least one environmental phenomena of the sleep environment while the user is sleeping in the sleep session and without particular input from the user at the time of the adjustment to the sleep environment.
