The application provides a method for adjusting audio output according to a sleep cycle, the method comprising the steps of:

step S1O 1: monitoring sleep of a user to acquire first sleep data, wherein the first sleep data comprises heart rate characteristic data and motion characteristic data of the user;

step S1O 2: and judging the current sleep period of the user according to the first sleep data, and adjusting the audio output of the associated equipment according to the current sleep period of the user.

The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with fig. 1.

The execution main body of the method of the application can be a certain device with a monitoring function and a waking function, or can be a combination of some devices with some and different functions, such as a wearable device and an audio playing device which can communicate with each other for detection.

Step S1O 1: the method comprises the steps of monitoring sleep of a user and acquiring first sleep data, wherein the first sleep data comprise heart rate characteristic data and motion characteristic data of the user.

When a user sleeps, the monitoring device starts to monitor the user, the monitored content can be the heart rate and the action of the user, in the sleeping process of the user, the heart rate can change correspondingly along with the change of a sleeping period or the deepening of the sleeping degree, and the frequency of the limb action can also be reduced, so that the sleep period of the user can be judged according to the heart rate characteristic and the action characteristic when the user sleeps, and when the user sleeps, the monitored heart rate characteristic data and the monitored action characteristic data of the user can be used as first sleeping data.

Step S1O 2: and judging the current sleep period of the user according to the first sleep data, and adjusting the audio output of the associated equipment according to the current sleep period of the user.

When the first sleep data is acquired, the sleep period of the user at the moment can be judged according to the heart rate characteristic data and the motion characteristic data in the first sleep data, and then the audio output of the associated equipment is adjusted according to the sleep period of the user at the moment, wherein the sleep period comprises five periods, namely a drowsiness awakening period, a light sleep period, a moderate sleep period and a deep sleep period, and the sleep period can be continuously performed in each period and continuously circulates until the user naturally awakens.

In some embodiments of the present application, the determining a current sleep period of the user according to the first sleep data may be comparing the first sleep data with historical sleep data to determine similar heart rate characteristic data and motion characteristic data in the historical sleep data, and then determining a sleep period corresponding to the similar heart rate characteristic data and motion characteristic data as the current sleep period of the user according to a corresponding relationship between the historical sleep data and the sleep period of the user.

In the current sleep period of the user is judged according to the first sleep data, the first sleep data may be compared with historical sleep data, the historical sleep data includes past sleep data of the user, before the first sleep data is acquired, the user may be subjected to long-time sleep monitoring, for example, heart rate monitoring and motion monitoring for the user within a period of up to one week, a sleep cycle from sleep to natural waking of the user is recorded, the sleep period of the user is analyzed according to the monitored data of the heart rate change and the monitored data of the motion change in the sleep cycle, the characteristics of the heart rate data and the characteristics of the motion data of each sleep period of the user are summarized and acquired, and the data belong to the historical sleep data. After the historical data is obtained, the first sleep data obtained by monitoring a certain sleep of the user can be compared with the historical sleep number, the heart rate characteristic data and the action characteristic data similar to the first sleep data are searched in the historical sleep data, namely the first sleep data and the historical sleep data are corresponding through the similar heart rate characteristic data and action characteristic data, and the sleep period of the first sleep data is determined through the corresponding relation. For example, in the historical sleep data, the heart rate was decreased from 64-71 beats/min to 62-68 beats/min, the number of actions was decreased to 6 beats per minute, and it was determined as a drowsy arousal period, and in the first sleep data, when the heart rate characteristic data and the action characteristic data reached similar data, it was determined that the user was in the drowsy arousal period.

In some embodiments of the application, before the sleep monitoring is performed on the user and the first sleep data is acquired, the sleep monitoring may be performed on the user for multiple times in the same monitoring period to acquire historical sleep data, where the historical sleep data includes heart rate characteristic data and motion characteristic data of the user, and the corresponding relationship between the sleep period and the historical sleep data is determined according to a variation trend of the heart rate characteristic data and the motion characteristic data in the monitoring period.

Before the first sleep data is acquired, the user can be monitored for multiple times in the same period, for example, monitoring is performed every day within one week, the monitoring time is 24 hours each time, and each 24 hours is a monitoring period, so that the user can be monitored for 7 times within one week, and in each monitoring period, the heart rate change and the action change of the user are recorded in the whole course to form historical sleep data. And analyzing the waking time period and the sleeping time period of the user from the historical sleep data, performing whole-process recording analysis on the sleeping time period of the user to obtain the heart rate characteristic data and the action characteristic data of each sleep cycle, judging the heart rate characteristic data and the action characteristic data corresponding to each sleep period of the user according to the variation trend of the two data, and obtaining the corresponding relation between the sleep period and the historical sleep data.

In some embodiments of the present application, adjusting the audio output of the associated device according to the current sleep period of the user may be adjusting the alarm output volume of the associated device to a maximum value when the current sleep period of the user is a drowsy wake-up period.

The drowsy arousal phase belongs to the initial stage of sleep in the sleep cycle, in which the body of a person relaxes, breathing slows down, and consciousness gradually sinks in preparation for entering sleep. After each sleep cycle is finished, the drowsy wake-up period is entered again to start the cycle of the next cycle. When the user is in the drowsy awakening period, the user is indicated to have already gone through a complete sleep cycle, and the user is about to enter the next sleep cycle, which is the optimal time for awakening the user, so when the user is in the time, the alarm clock output volume of the associated device can be adjusted to the maximum value to awaken the user.

In other embodiments of the present application, the volume of the alarm clock output by the associated device is decreased when the current sleep period of the user is other than a drowsy wake-up period.

During five periods of sleep, other sleep periods, except for the drowsy wake-up period, are not suitable for waking up the user. For example, in a light sleep period, the respiratory heart rate of a person is reduced, the body temperature is slightly lowered, the body consciously ignores the light external stimulus, and the user gradually transits to a moderate sleep period. During this stage of moderate sleep, the person's respiratory heart rate and body temperature further decrease, at which time the body enters a state of being difficult to awaken, which is also the beginning of the deep sleep phase. In the deep sleep stage, people get full rest and sleep, and in this time, various functions of the body can be slowed down to the lowest index, and muscles are gradually relaxed, so that the people are extremely difficult to awaken, and even if the people are forcibly awakened, the people can not be helped by lifting the body unconsciously and unconsciously, and can be recovered for a long time. After the first four phases, the body will again enter a short third phase, followed by a short second phase. Then, the sleep stage is started, namely, the eyes of people move up, down, left and right quickly, the heart rate and the blood pressure become irregular, the breathing becomes quick, the reaction like waking or fear is realized, and the muscles are kept soft all the time, so that the sleep stage is a complete sleep cycle. Therefore, other sleep periods except the drowsiness awakening period are not suitable for awakening the user, and when the user is judged to be in other sleep periods except the drowsiness awakening period, the output volume of the alarm clock of the associated device can be reduced, and the user is prevented from being disturbed in sleep.

In an actual scene, a person needs to go through a complete sleep cycle in a natural state, and meanwhile, in a drowsiness awakening period of a new cycle, the brain is just in a mental state close to awakening, the mental state of the person is more natural when being awakened, and the mental state after being awakened is better. If awakened during other of the cycles, particularly deep sleep periods, rapid eye movement sleep periods, the body feels drowsy and sleepy poorly. For the above problem, in some embodiments of the application, the audio output of the associated device is adjusted according to the current sleep period of the user, where the current sleep period of the user is a preset sleep period, and it is determined whether a current time and an alarm clock setting time of the associated device are less than a preset time difference, and if the current sleep period is less than the preset time difference, the associated device is controlled to play the audio corresponding to the alarm clock before the end of the preset sleep period.

The preset sleep period may be any one or more sleep periods suitable for waking up the user, for example, the first sleep period in the sleep period, that is, a drowsy wake-up period, and may also be a light sleep period or a middle sleep period. In addition, the preset sleep period may be any two consecutive sleep periods of the sleep cycle other than the deep sleep period and the rapid eye movement sleep period, that is, the drowsiness awakening period, the light sleep period, and the moderate sleep period, or three sleep periods.

Taking the drowsiness awakening period as an example, when it is monitored that the sleeping period of the user is the drowsiness awakening period, it may be determined whether the time point at that time and the time set in the alarm clock of the associated device are smaller than a preset time difference value, where the preset time difference value is used to determine whether to awaken the user when the user is in the drowsiness awakening period. For example, the preset alarm time of the user is 7 am, the preset time difference is 1 hour, when it is determined that the user starts to be in the drowsiness awakening period at 6 o ' clock 17, whether to awaken or not is determined, it is first determined that the preset time difference is less than 1 hour after 7 o ' clock is completed at 6 o ' clock 17, that is, the current time and the alarm clock setting time of the associated device are less than the preset time difference, and at this time, the associated device should be controlled to play the audio corresponding to the alarm clock before the end of the drowsiness awakening period so as to awaken the user. Therefore, the alarm clock can be ensured to be in the sleep period suitable for waking up the user, and the user is prevented from entering the next sleep period unsuitable for waking up the user, so that the user feels sleepy and sleepy insufficiently after being woken up.

In some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting the audio output of the associated device according to the current sleep period of the user may be to decrease the volume of the audio and turn off the audio after a preset time period when the current sleep period of the user is a first light sleep period in the current monitoring period. Therefore, the influence of continuous music playing on the gradual calming of the brain and the influence on the sleep can be avoided.

When the user is in the first light sleep period of the sleep, the user is indicated to start the sleep, and the audio output volume is reduced until the audio output volume is closed. Or closing after a preset time period, where the preset time period may be a time period from when the audio enters light sleep to when the audio is completely closed, and the time period may be preset by the user. The audio can be music, and the music can also be used as an alarm clock, namely the alarm clock and the audio can be the same device.

In other embodiments of the present application, the reducing of the volume of the audio may be a step-by-step reduction of the volume of the audio by a preset amplitude.

When the user enters the light sleep period, the reduction of the audio volume can be gradually reduced according to the preset amplitude, so that the situation that the user is awakened due to the fact that the audio is suddenly turned off and the user is suddenly felt is avoided. The magnitude of the reduction may be preset by the user.
