Abstract
Bladder pressure readings of bladder pressure inside an air bladder of a mattress are received for a particular time. Barometric pressure readings of barometric pressure in an ambient environment outside the mattress are received for the particular time. The bladder pressure and the barometric pressure readings are used as input to an ambient temperature classifier. Output from the ambient temperature classifier is received as an ambient temperature value for the particular time.
