Smart body support system

Abstract

An intelligent mattress system that utilizes a computer program and pressure sensors to generate a detailed map of the user's body based on various resting and sleeping positions. The system can accurately determine key body parts' locations, such as hips and shoulders, and dynamically adjust the mattress to ensure optimal comfort and support. The program calculates hip width and utilizes pattern recognition technology to adapt to different body positions, maintaining a straight backbone. Furthermore, the system uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to learn from the pattern of the user's body on the mattress. The system can calibrate the mattress depth dynamically and can adjust actuators for optimal support during varying sleeping or resting postures.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A body support device, comprising:
 a control device configured to:   determine size of one or more body parts of a user positioned on the body support device;   determine rotation of one or more body parts of the user positioned on the body support device based on a profile of user's body parts; and   determine a new profile for the body support device and dynamically adjust the shape of the body support device to straighten the user's body to be in a natural position.   
     
     
         2 . The body support device of  claim 1 , wherein the body support device can be a mattress. 
     
     
         3 . A smart mattress system, comprising:
 a mattress;   a plurality of sensors integrated with the mattress;   a computer program configured to:   receive data from the plurality of sensors;   generate a pressure map based on the received data;   determine rotation of different parts of the body based on the pressure map; and determine depth of the mattress at different locations on the mattress based on the rotation of the different body parts.   
     
     
         4 . A method of creating a baseline for a user's body on a body support system, the method comprises:
 identifying that the user is resting on the body support system in a particular position, and   generating a baseline position map for the user's body, wherein, the baseline position map is used in other rotations of user's body.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the position map can be a pressure map. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the position map can generate dimensions of the body at particular locations on the body support system. 
     
     
         7 . A method of adjusting a body support device, the method comprising:
 presetting the depth of the body support device at one or more locations of the one or more user's body parts on the body support device such that when the user's body is in a different position, the body support device can recognize the body part and change the depth of the body support device based on the user's preset for comfort.   
     
     
         8 . A smart body support system for reducing pressure ulcers, the body support system comprises:
 a cushion to support the user's body parts; and   a control system to:   identify one or more pressure points based on pressure profile; and   altering the positions of the pressure points in a cyclic pattern.   
     
     
         9 . A method for preventing pressure ulcers, the method comprises:
 creating a pressure map of a user's body resting on a body support system;   identifying one or more statistically significant points on the user's body prone to pressure ulcers.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the body support system continuously checks if an iterative process of reducing pressure at one point is causing high pressure at a bony prominence point, wherein the iterative process continues until the pressure reduces at a statistically prone area while increasing the pressure at the fleshier areas.
