Patent ID: 8353828

Claim:
A remote sleep quality detecting system, comprising: a portable detecting device, comprising: at least one signal detector for continuously detecting a physical activity of an examinee while the examinee is sleeping, and for generating an activity signal, wherein the signal detector includes a body activity detection pad provided for detecting body activity while the examinee is sleeping, and the activity signal is a body activity signal; a signal processing module for receiving the activity signal, and for analyzing and computing the activity signal, the signal processing module comprising: a memory unit for storing a variation threshold, a computation equation and a sleep state index; an analysis module for analyzing variation of slopes of the activity signal's waveform over time, and generating a statistical value of each time period by accumulating time corresponding to the slopes being greater than the variation threshold within the time period according to the classification and statistics of the variation of the activity signal; and a computation module for receiving and computing the statistical value of each of the time period according to the computation equation, and comparing a computed result with at least one sleep state index to generate sleep quality information, wherein the computation equation is a weighted computation equation that gives less significance to the statistical value corresponding to earlier time period; a storage unit for storing the activity signal and the sleep quality information received by the signal processing module; and a network transmission unit for transmitting the sleep quality information via a network; and a remote monitoring device for monitoring the sleep quality information of the examinee from a remote location via the network, and comprising: a sleep quality reading module for providing a user interface to receive a connection instruction to connect the portable detecting device, reading and displaying the sleep quality information at the user interface, whereby the sleep quality information of the examinee can be observed from a remote location by a distributed network structure, and the sleep quality of the examinee can be analyzed further according to the sleep quality information.
