Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
receiving user identification data, the user identification data identifying each family member that may potentially be part of a sleep ecosystem and identifying a category of each family member, the categories comprising adult, child, and pet;
a non-contact area motion sensor that does not contact family members sharing a sleep surface, the area motion sensor continually detecting movement data comprising movement or non-movement in each of a plurality of areas in a sleep area;
a sleep ecosystem logic embodied in one or more non-transitory computer-readable media; and
a processor coupled to the non-contact area motion sensor;
wherein the sleep ecosystem logic, when executed by the processor, is to determine an identity of one or more of the family members sharing the sleep surface in the sleep area based on
a) the continually detected movement data from the non-contact area motion sensor for the plurality of areas, the movement data detected over time and b) movement patterns for the identified categories of the family members, and wherein the determined identity is further based on c) a size indicated by the continually detected movement data and d) sizes for the identified categories of the family members, and wherein the identity of the one or more family members sharing the sleep surface defining a current sleep ecosystem, and
(i) using the continually detected movement data to determine a sleep state of a first family member; (ii) using the sleep state of the first family member and an optimization criterion stored in a memory and based on at least one of historical sleep data of the first family member and user preferences of the first family member, to determine a first sleep parameter value for the first family member; (iii) to control an electronically-controllable device associated with the sleep area to adjust an environment affecting the first family member in the current sleep ecosystem in accordance with the first sleep parameter value of the first family member; (iv) using the continually detected movement data, determine a sleep state of a second family member; (v) adjust the first sleep parameter value to a second sleep parameter value based on the sleep state of the second family member; and (vi) control the electronically-controllable device to adjust the environment affecting the first family member and the second family member in the current sleep ecosystem in accordance with the second sleep parameter value.
