Abstract:
1. A remote sleep quality detecting method, comprising the steps of: providing a signal detector for continuously detecting a physical activity of an examinee while the examinee is sleeping, and generating an activity signal; analyzing changes of the activity signal varied with time, and producing a statistical value according to variation classification and statistics of the activity signal; computing the statistical value, and comparing a computed result with at least one sleep state index to produce sleep quality information; recording the sleep quality information in a storage unit; providing a remote monitoring device, and displaying the sleep quality information read via a network at a user interface; recording the activity signal in the storage unit; and providing a memory unit for storing a variation threshold, at least one computation equation and the sleep state index, classifying the activity signal according to the classification of the variation threshold, and computing the statistical value according to the computation equation; whereby the sleep quality information of the examinee can be observed at a remote location for a long term, and the sleep quality of the examinee can be analyzed further according to the sleep quality information; wherein the computation equation is a weighted computation equation according to the level of significance of the activity signal decreasing with time after the detection takes place.
