Abstract
A smart bed with a mattress that detects the one or more physical inputs, identifies at least one function corresponding to each physical input, and responds to each physical input by executing the at least one function. The physical input may be provided as a tap, pat, slap, stomp, or kick on a surface of the mattress. One or more sensors of the mattress may detect each physical input. A processor of the smart bed may identify and execute the at least one function associated with the at least one physical input. In addition, the processor may identify an individual who provided the physical input(s) and execute the corresponding function(s) in a manner tailored to the individual who provided the physical input(s). Methods of using such a smart bed are also disclosed.
