| 20090250070 | Apparatus and Method for Influencing the Sleep of a Person, Operating Unit and Computer Program Product - The invention develops an apparatus and a method for influencing the sleep of a person. The apparatus comprises a sensor device for detecting a current rotational position of the body of the person about the longitudinal axis of the body, an actuator device for supplying a predeterminable stimulus pattern to the body, and an operating unit with a selection device for selecting at least one desired and/or at least one prohibited rotational position of the body of the person about the longitudinal axis of the body, a comparator device for comparing the current rotational position and the at least one desired and/or at least one prohibited rotational position and emitting a corresponding position signal, and a control device which can be set to actuate the actuator device to supply the predeterminable stimulus pattern to the body in response to the position signal if the position signal shows that the current rotational position does not correspond to the at least one desired rotational position and/or corresponds to at least the one prohibited rotational position. | 10-08-2009 |
