    The invention relates to a method, a device and a system for aligning a mattress of a bed.
    PRIOR ART Many bed manufacturers are known who evaluate their products by the fact that their beds enable deep, healthy and restful sleep. On the other hand, many people complain about problems that occur during sleep, such as insomnia, back pain, muscle tension, no recovery during sleep, or difficulty breathing. So there is still a need to improve people's sleep.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to form a device and a method which enable a pleasant and relaxing sleep.
    This object is achieved with a method according to the features of claim 1. The dependent claims 2 to 7 relate to further advantageous method steps. The object is further achieved with a device comprising the features of claim 8. The dependent claims 9 to 12 relate to further advantageous refinements. The object is further achieved with a system comprising the features of claims 13 and 14, respectively.
    The object is achieved in particular with a method for aligning a mattress of a bed, the bed comprising a spring base and the mattress arranged thereon, and wherein the position of the spring base is motor-adjustable via a control signal by at least a first and a second Position setting are specified, which determine the different positions of the spring base by measuring a body position of a person lying on the bed with a measuring device, and by having the body position after the body position has been detected, either the existing position setting is maintained or in another one depending on the detected body position at least first and second position settings are adjusted so that the spring base and the mattress arranged above it are aligned depending on the body position. The object is further achieved in particular with a device comprising a bed with a spring base, a mattress to be arranged on the spring base and at least one motor drive for changing the position of the spring base, and also comprising a measuring device for detecting the body position of a person lying on the bed, and comprising a Control device for storing at least a first and a second position setting and for controlling the motor drive, the control device being designed in such a way that it determines the body position from a measurement signal of the measuring device and, depending on the body position detected, either maintains the existing position setting or one of the at least one first and second position settings specifies to control the motor drive to adjust the orientation of the mattress depending on the body position.
    A pleasant and relaxing sleep is of central importance for the health and well-being of a person. It was recognized that the muscle relaxation that occurs during sleep is extremely important for a restful sleep. It was also recognized that muscle tension occurs relatively frequently during sleep, which reduces the quality of sleep, so that one does not feel rested in the morning. In the long term, such muscle tension can also result in pain in the neck, shoulders, cross or pelvis or trigger headaches. In the worst case, massive muscle tension or even unbearable pain occurs in the long term during sleep, which rob sleep. In addition, unfavorable beds can cause long-term, age-related wear and tear on the spine, especially on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, which leads to further massive muscle tension.
    The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention serve in particular to avoid or reduce muscle tension during sleep. For this purpose, the sleeping position of a person is monitored or recorded during sleep, and, after a person has assumed a new, changed sleeping position, the bed or its spring base is automatically adapted in such a way that the newly assumed sleeping position is improved in such a way by the changed position of the mattress that the newly taken sleeping position, which was subsequently improved by adjusting the mattress, results in less muscle tension. The method according to the invention is therefore not about moving or forcing a sleeping person into an advantageous sleeping position beforehand, but rather about subsequently improving the naturally and voluntarily assumed sleeping position by, after a new sleeping position has been assumed, the position of the lower bed and thereby also the alignment, in particular the tilt angle of the mattress, is automatically adjusted and thus improved in such a way that the newly adopted, improved sleeping position preferably results in less muscle tension.
    Advantageously, the device according to the invention is individually adjusted and adapted to a person by a specialist, for example a lying therapist. This adjustment is an extremely demanding task, because a variety of different parameters must be taken into account in order to achieve a deep, healthy and restful sleep, especially for people with sleep problems such as back pain, muscle tension, etc. It is advantageous to first select and determine which bed, including at least one Mattress as well as a
    CH 714 781 A2 motor-driven suspension, suitable for the person concerned. For example, the physique, weight, hip and shoulder width and gender must be taken into account. Physiological conditions such as back pain, high blood pressure etc. must also be taken into account. General sleeping habits must also be taken into account. After the selection of the bed, it is then the job of the lying therapist to adapt the spring base to the person, for example by removing and / or increasing and / or deepening the slats of the spring base, or moving them in the horizontal direction, or changing their stiffness. In addition, the axes of rotation of the spring base are advantageously determined by selecting and assembling the lengths of the subsection of the spring base in such a way that the axes of rotation of the entire spring base, which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, are arranged in the correct place with respect to the body located on the mattress. After the selection of the bed and the setting of the spring base, it is the job of the lying therapist to find a number of advantageous position settings of the motor-adjustable spring base and to save such predefined position settings, and to assign these position settings to corresponding sleeping positions so that the spring base changes a sleeping position after sleeping and then measured, can be moved into the predetermined, predefined position setting. Establishing such predefined position settings is an extremely demanding task, especially when the lying therapist takes into account that a person has so-called muscle chains consisting of several muscles. When finding suitable position settings, it is advantageously not sufficient to observe the behavior of a single muscle, whether it is relaxed. When finding a suitable position setting, the behavior of the entire muscle chain should preferably be taken into account, so that, for example, in order to achieve good relaxation of the back muscles, the position of the feet or lower legs is also taken into account, the position of which is preferably influenced by a suitable position setting.
    Then it is the task of the lying therapist to check whether the predefined position settings made serve the person, and the desired effect of improved sleep also occurs, or if any adjustments are still necessary. The device according to the invention has the advantage that the extremely demanding task of a lying therapist is supported in that the bed or the position of the spring base, after a person has changed their sleeping position significantly, automatically adapts by moving the spring base to the preferably predefined position setting to improve the sleeping position afterwards. This means that for the first time, a lying therapist can have the sleeping position automatically adjusted during sleep in order to achieve a significant improvement in sleep quality. The sleeping positions measured during sleep and advantageously also the position settings of the spring base made are stored particularly advantageously, for example during a night, during a week or a month. In addition, subjective values are advantageously recorded during or after sleep, for example the perceived quality of sleep or the intensity of the back pain. Such information can be recorded, for example, with a questionnaire on paper or interactively with an electronic device. Such data are extremely advantageous for a lying therapist, since a diary is thus available to him, with the help of which he can assess the sleep quality precisely and also recognize any potential for improvement of the settings made.
    The inventive method and the inventive device requires a measuring device for detecting the sleeping position, preferably for continuously detecting and monitoring the sleeping position. The sleeping position is preferably monitored regularly, for example every 30 seconds, every minute or every 10 minutes. A bed is also required, the mattress position of which can be changed by a motor. It is advantageously ensured that the bed has a course of the mattress or a lying surface course of the surface of the mattress, which is set such that a person in at least some predefined sleep basic positions, for example in a supine position or in a lateral position, a sleeping position with low muscle tension occupies, for example, by keeping the spine as straight as possible in this sleeping position. Advantageously, the predefined basic sleep positions are determined by a specialist, and then a specialist determines at least one basic position of the spring base and the mattress lying thereon for the back position and for the side position, which has an advantageous profile of the lying surface or the surface of the mattress, which results in an advantageous one Sleep position results. In the simplest embodiment of the method according to the invention, the sleeping position of a person is thus monitored, and it is checked whether the person is in a supine position or a side position, and when the sleeping position changes from the supine position to the side position or vice versa, the spring base of the bed corresponding to The specified basic positions are moved by an electric motor to the correspondingly specified position, so that the mattress resting on the spring base acts on the person lying on the mattress in such a way that the person experiences an advantageous alignment or an advantageous support from the mattress.
    The human physique, for example the size or weight, varies considerably, which is why it is particularly advantageous to reduce muscle tension to adapt a bed individually to the anatomy of a person. In an advantageous embodiment, a plurality of height correction means, for example also referred to as slats, are therefore provided, which can be attached to and / or detached from the bed base of a bed, and which are advantageously adjustable in the horizontal and / or vertical direction, so that the The spring base with respect to the mattress arranged above it has at least one depression and or at least one elevation at determinable locations. The spring base is particularly advantageously designed as a kit, comprising a plurality of partial sections which are mutually rotatable and connectable, so that the spring base individually matches the anatomy
    CH 714 781 A2 can be adapted to one person. Such an individually adapted bed operated with the method according to the invention or comprising the device according to the invention is therefore particularly well suited to avoid muscle tension, back problems and pain and to enable a relaxing, healthy sleep.
    The device according to the invention is particularly advantageously used to relax the muscles of a person lying on the bed, in particular by measuring the body position of the person, by dividing the measured body positions into at least one side position and a back position, and after determining one changed body position, the mattress of the bed is changed to one of at least two different positions, a supine position, in which the mattress raises the upper body and thighs with respect to the pelvis, and a lateral position, in which the mattress places the pelvis and upper body in a horizontal position brings and raises the legs.

    WAYS OF IMPLEMENTING THE INVENTION Figures 1 and 2 show a side view of one on a bed. 2 lying person 6, which in FIG. 1 assumes a sleeping position in a supine position and in FIG. 2 a sleeping position in a lateral position. As such, people can take a variety of sleeping positions on a bed. Most sleeping positions on known beds 2 have the result that the spine 6f, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, has an S-shaped course. FIG. 5 shows an enlarged profile of the spine 6f at the position 6g shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 6 shows an enlarged profile of the spine 6f at the position 6h shown in FIG. 2. If the spine 6f repeatedly has such an S-shaped course during sleep, this position of the spine means that muscle tension often occurs in the short term and with high probability in the medium term. In the long term, this position can also lead to pain in the neck area, the shoulders, the cross or the pelvis. In addition, the forces acting on one side on the intervertebral discs arranged between the vertebral bodies mean that intervertebral discs exposed to such loads absorb less fluids and become brittle in the long term, which promotes herniated discs. In the long term, wear and tear on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs of the spine 6f can occur, which can cause additional pain. 5 and 6, the intervertebral discs located between the vertebrae are not shown.
    CH 714 781 A2 [0016] FIGS. 3 and 4 each show a side view of a person 6 lying in a side position on bed 2. Bed 2 includes a spring base 3 and a mattress 4, the mattress 4 on the spring base 3 is placed on top. The spring base 3 is designed to be adjustable so that the mattress 4 resting on the spring base 3 is aligned in a manner which is pleasant for the person 6. In the two illustrated exemplary embodiments, the spring base 3 is set in such a way that the spine 6f of the person 6 runs as straight as possible in the view shown, the spine 6f in FIG. 3 nevertheless running slightly downward at the end and essentially straight in FIG. 4 runs. It was previously described that the mattress 4 is arranged lying on the spring base 3. This includes embodiments in which the mattress 4 and the spring base 3 are configured as separate objects, as well as embodiments in which the mattress 4 and the spring base 3 are configured as a common unit, so that the mattress 4 and the spring base 3 are not separated can.
    Fig. 7 shows a further usual sleeping position of a person 6 in a lateral position, with thighs tightened. The course of the shoulder 6b is shown with the shoulder course line 6k, and the course of the pelvis or pelvic bone with the pelvic course line 61. In the side view shown, the spine 6f does not run in a straight line, but instead has one at point 6i in the area of the lumbar vertebrae 6m Curvature so that the two lines 6k, 61 do not run parallel. The spine 6f shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is shown essentially schematically, the sacrum 6n being shown more concretely in order to show its position in connection with the position of the pelvic joint or the pelvic progression line 61. Following the sacrum 6n, the tailbone is only shown as a schematic extension in FIGS. 7 and 8. The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention prevent the sleeping position shown in FIG. 7 by, as shown in FIG. 8, the suspension 3, which is only indicated, along the thigh part 3f and the lower leg part 3g about the pivot point S3, so that the Mattress 4 is raised in the area of the legs, so that the lower legs 6e are raised, and the hip is therefore arranged in such a way that the lines 6k, 61 run parallel or essentially parallel, so that the spine 6f, including the spine section with lumbar vertebrae, only indicated schematically 6m and the specific spinal column section shown with sacrum 6n, in the side view shown, runs in a straight line or essentially in a straight line. This ensures that the spine 6f or its muscles are in a relaxed state.
    Fig. 9 shows another usual sleeping position of a person 6 in the supine position, with straight legs, in particular the pelvis 6c, the thigh 6d, the lower leg 6e, the thigh bone 6i and the lower leg bone 6k are shown. The result of this supine position is that the calf muscle 3m, the thigh muscle 3n and the muscle lliopsoas 3o are stretched and thus tense.
    The inventive method and the inventive device prevents the sleeping position shown in Fig. 9, by, as shown with the position setting shown in Fig. 10, the suspension 3 shown to me has been pivoted about the pivot points S3 and S4, so that the Mattress 4 and the person lying thereon occupies the position shown in FIG. 10. In this position the calf muscle 3m, the thigh muscle 3n and the muscle lliopsoas 3o are relieved and relaxed. It may prove to be advantageous to provide at least two different position settings of the spring base 3 for the supine position, for example the first supine position shown in FIG. 10, and also a second supine position, which runs even steeper, so that the upper body, in comparison to the representation according to FIG. 10, is raised even more. Such a position adjustment is advantageous for people with heart problems and / or with increased acid reflux from the stomach, and / or people with a tendency to snore, and / or people with sleep apnea.
    Fig. 11 shows an embodiment of a spring base 3, which could be used in combination with the mattress 4 shown in Figs. 3,4,8 and 10. The spring base 3 has a longitudinal direction L, and comprises a pivotable, or as shown in FIG. 11, a non-pivotable middle part 3cl, and then in the longitudinal direction L following on one side a pivotable upper part 3a and on the opposite side a pivotable lower part 3e. The pivotable upper part 3a comprises a head part 3b and an upper body part 3c. The pivotable lower part 3e comprises a thigh part 3f and a lower leg part 3g. The spring base 3 thus comprises successive sections 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, two successive sections 3b, 3c; 3c, 3d; 3d, 3f; 3f, 3g are mutually pivotable about an axis of rotation S1, S2, S3, S4 running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. The spring base 3 also comprises at least one motor drive 7, shown only schematically, preferably comprising at least three electric motors, in order to move at least one and preferably all movable sections 3b, 3c, 3f, 3g and thereby their inclination angle and / or position, for example the height of the Lower leg part 3g to change. The spring base 3 is designed in the exemplary embodiment shown as a slatted frame, so that the support element 3k of the head part 3b, the support elements 3i of the upper body part 3c, the support elements 3h of the non-pivotable middle part 3d, the support elements 31 of the thigh part 3f and the support elements 3m of the lower leg part 3g as Slats are designed. The spring base 3 also includes an outer frame 3p, to which the non-pivotable middle part 3d and the drives, which are only shown schematically, are fastened. In addition, a control device 8 is provided, which is connected to the electric motors 7 via motor cables 7a, and which can be controlled via a control signal A.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the spring base 3 shown in FIG. 11, at least one and preferably more of the slats is interchangeable with softer and / or harder slats. It is also preferably possible
    CH 714 781 A2 or several battens completely, so that a gap is created at this point. In a further advantageous embodiment, at least one of the slats and preferably a plurality of slats of the subsections 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g can be arranged in an increased or recessed manner or shifted in the horizontal longitudinal direction compared to the other slats, as in FIGS. 3 and 4 represented by the recessed slats 3o. It is also possible to change the stiffness of the slats. There are therefore a number of options available for adapting a bed 2 to the anatomy of a person.
    Fig. 12 shows a further embodiment of a spring base 3, which has pivot axes S1, S2, S3, S4, similar to that shown in Fig. 11, each section 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g a plurality of support elements 3h, 3i, 3k, 31, 3m, which are preferably movable perpendicular to a mattress 4 arranged on the spring base 3, preferably individually movable. In an advantageous embodiment, the support elements 3h, 3i, 3k, 31.3m can be advanced manually in the vertical direction and then fixed. In a further advantageous embodiment, the support elements 3h, 3i, 3k, 31.3m are adjustable, preferably individually adjustable, by means of a motor drive 7, so that the position of each support element 3h, 3i, 3k, 31, 3m can be controlled in relation to the mattress 4 arranged above it can be.
    The person 6 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 comprises a head 6a, shoulders 6b, a hip 6c, thigh 6d and lower leg 6e. By doing. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the sections 3d, 3f and 3g run horizontally and therefore have no inclination. The section 3d comprises two staggered support elements 3o, which are arranged lower than the remaining support elements 3h of the section 3d, in order to form a lower support for the mattress 4, so that the mattress 2, as shown, can form a recess for the hip 6c , so that the spine 6f preferably runs essentially rectilinearly and horizontally as shown. The section 3c extends from the first pivot axis S1 with a slight inclination downwards, and the subsequent section 3b extends from the second pivot axis S2 with a slight inclination upwards, so that the mattress 2, as shown, forms a recess for the shoulder 6b , so that the spine 6f is preferably straight and horizontal as shown. Sleeping in this side position is perceived as very pleasant, since there is hardly any muscle tension. With regard to muscle tension, the side position shown in FIG. 4 is even more advantageous, in which, in contrast to the side position shown in FIG. 3, the lower legs 6e and partially the upper legs 6d are elevated, in which the sections 3f, 3g, starting from the third pivot axis S3, direction to the left with an inclination upwards, which advantageously has the result that the end section of the spine 6f also runs in a straight line.
    The inventive device 1, comprising the bed 2, the measuring device 9, an evaluation device 10, the control device 8 and the motor drive 7, monitors the sleeping position of the persons 6 lying on the bed 2 at certain time intervals, preferably continuously, and adjusts the position of the spring base 3 after the person 6 has assumed a new sleeping position in such a way that the orientation of the mattress 4 is changed so that the person lying on the mattress 4 assumes a position that is as relaxed as possible with little muscle tension. In the simplest embodiment, two position settings are preset or predefined and thus predefined for the spring base 3, a first position setting B1 for a side position and a second position setting B2 for a back position. In an advantageous embodiment, the angles or the orientation of all subsections 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g are individually set for the person 6 concerned by the expert and are then predefined in a fixed and unchangeable manner for the side position and the back position. With a measuring device 9, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, with a camera arranged above the person 6, or, as for example shown in FIG. 4, with a measuring device 9, for example a position sensor, which is fixedly or loosely connected to the body the current sleeping position or a change in the sleeping position are detected, and a control signal A for the motor drives 7 is generated therefrom. The measuring device 9 can be connected to the body via a belt, for example, or can be arranged in a pocket of pajamas, preferably in the area of the chest of a person to be monitored.
    13a to 13h show different sleeping positions, as could be determined, for example, with a measuring device 9 arranged above the bed 2 and configured as a camera. 13a shows a left side position, FIG. 13b a right side position, FIG. 13c a supine position and FIG. 13d a prone position. Provided that the prone position is hardly taken up and the setting of the spring base 3 is identical for the left and right side positions, two position settings, namely the first and the second position setting B1, B2, are sufficient to ensure that the bed 2 can be optimally adjusted for the essential sleeping positions. However, there are people who have a lateral deformation of the spine, also known as scoliosis. In such people, different position settings are advantageously provided for the left and right side positions, so that at least three preset position settings are required.
    A person 6 can of course take other sleeping positions, for example the further left side position according to FIG. 13e, the further right side position according to FIG. 13h, or for example a side position with legs pulled up according to FIG. 13f or a supine position with parallel to the body adjacent arms according to Fig. 13g. It can therefore prove advantageous to also provide predetermined position settings B3, B4, B5 for these sleeping positions in order to optimally adapt the bed 2 or the position of the mattress 4 even in these sleeping positions. All of the sleeping positions shown in FIGS. 13a to 13h can be recorded, for example, with a measuring device 9 designed as a camera.
    CH 714 781 A2 In a further advantageous embodiment, the measuring device 9 comprises a position sensor 9a or an inclinometer 9a, preferably configured as a two-dimensional, and preferably as a three-dimensional sensor, preferably a gravity sensor 9a, which detects the course or the orientation of the Measures gravity in three orthogonal dimensions X, Y and Z. If a measuring device 9 comprising such a gravity sensor 9a, for example as shown in FIG. 4, is attached directly to the body of a person 6, for example lying against the chest, it can be determined in a very simple manner whether the person 6 is in a lateral position or in a supine position. In an advantageous embodiment, the measuring device 9, as shown in FIG. 14, comprises a sensor 9a, configured as a position or inclination sensor, a battery 9b and an electronic circuit for processing the signal, including communication hardware 9c. The electronic circuit 9c advantageously also includes an evaluation device 10, preferably a microcomputer with software. The position or inclination sensor preferably comprises a plurality of sensors 9a, which are designed, for example, as acceleration sensors which measure the acceleration in the earth's gravitational field. In addition, the measuring device 9 comprises an electronic circuit for processing the measuring signal, so that a two- or three-dimensional inclination angle N is preferably output. This measuring device 9 allows wireless data transmission 9d of the measured values, in particular to the control device 8. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the measuring device 9 also includes a simple evaluation device 10 which outputs as an output signal whether the person is lying on his side or on his back. This output signal A is particularly advantageously transmitted directly to the control device 8 which is preferably arranged on the bed 2, wirelessly or via a cable, this output signal A preferably being used to directly control the predetermined or predefined position settings B1, B2. It is thus possible for the output signal A of the measuring device 9 to directly drive the control device 8. Undersprings 3 operated with a motor and comprising a manually operated control device 8 are known per se. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the output signal A of the measuring device 9 can be used to directly control existing, previously manually actuated control devices 8, so that existing beds 2 comprising a manually operated control device 8 can be retrofitted with predefined position settings in a simple and inexpensive manner, preferably for upgrading only a measuring device 9 is required, as well as a receiving device which feeds the control signal transmitted by the measuring device 9 to the control device 8.
    17 shows an example of a measuring device 9 lying on the chest of a person to be monitored, comprising a two-dimensional position sensor 9a. The position sensor 9a measures its angle of inclination N in space, for example by measuring the angle difference between the gravitational force vector G which is constantly pointing downwards due to gravity and the orientation of the position sensor 9a which changes in space due to a movement of the person to be monitored. A position sensor 9a is advantageously designed or calibrated in such a way that it has an inclination angle N of 0 ° in the reference position shown in FIG. 17, since the inclination angle N denoted by “N” lies in the alignment of the gravity vector G and thus its difference angle 0 ° is. In the exemplary embodiment described below, the position sensor 9a is configured in such a way that the position sensor 9a arranged on the chest of the person to be monitored outputs the angle of inclination N of 0 ° when the patient is in a horizontal supine position. If the person to be monitored now rotates while sleeping, the angle of inclination N of the position sensor 9a changes accordingly. Depending on the sleeping position, the angle of inclination N can move along the curve sections labeled R, RS, LS and B, these curve sections forming a circular line with a total angle of 360 °. In order to infer the sleeping position of the person to be monitored in a simple manner on the basis of the measured inclination angle N, the course of the inclination angle N is advantageously divided using an evaluation device 10 and as shown in FIG. 17, for example by the two boundary lines L1, L2, that the total angle of 360 ° is divided into an area on the back position R, an area on the right side position RS, an area on the left side position LS and an area on the prone position B, so that the evaluation device 10, based on the measured angle of inclination N, immediately determines the current sleeping position assumed by the person to be monitored can determine. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the area of the supine position round prone position B comprises an angle α of 60 °, and the area of the right side position RS and the left side position LS comprises an angle β of 120 °. If necessary, these angles can be selected differently, or can be subdivided further, for example, as represented by the angles β1 and β2, so that it is possible, for example, to further subdivide the left side position LS into an upper left side position, comprising the angle β1, and a lower left side position, comprising the angle β2, so that it is possible to distinguish between these two left side positions and, if desired, to assign a different position setting of the spring base to these two left side positions.
    The measuring device 9 shown in FIG. 14 is particularly pleasant to wear on the body since there are no signal-conducting cables. In order to record the different sleeping positions even more precisely, it may prove advantageous to provide a plurality of measuring devices 9 which are arranged or fastened at different points on the body of the person 6, in addition to the chest, for example on both wrists and both ankles. The evaluation device 10 can be part of the measuring device 9. However, it can also prove to be advantageous to arrange the evaluation device 10 later in the signal processing chain, after the wireless transmission of the measured data. This is particularly advantageous if the data of a plurality of measuring devices 9 are acquired by the evaluation device 10.
    CH 714 781 A2 As shown in FIG. 15, in a particularly advantageous embodiment, a smartphone is provided as a control and evaluation device 10, comprising a processor 10a, communication hardware 10b, a user interface 10c, application software 11 and memory 10d, wherein the smartphone 10 is preferably connected wirelessly to the at least one measuring device 9, and is preferably connected wirelessly to the control device 8. The position settings B1, B2 could be specified in the smartphone and changed if necessary. In a further possible embodiment, the smartphone could be attached to the body of the person, so that the gravity sensor already present in the smartphone can be used as a measuring device 9 and thus no additional measuring device 9 is required.
    16 shows in a flow chart an example of software 11 running on smartphone 10 for executing the method according to the invention. After the start Ila, the signals of the at least one measuring device 9 are received wirelessly by radio 10e in step 11b, and the current sleeping position assumed by the person 6 is determined from the measured values in step 11c. Then in step 11d it is checked whether the sleeping position has been changed by checking whether the current sleeping position is still in a predetermined reference range. If the sleeping position is in the specified reference range, the process returns to step Hb. If it is determined in step 11d that the sleeping position is no longer in the specified reference range and has therefore changed significantly, then in step 11d it is checked which of the predetermined position settings B1, B2, B3 is suitable for the current sleeping position and for the current sleeping position selected the most suitable position setting. The most suitable position setting is transmitted in step 11 e with a control signal A, preferably wireless, to the control device 8 so that it actuates the electromotive drives 7 in such a way that the suspension 3 provides the corresponding most suitable position setting from the previously determined position setting B1, B2, B3 ... As a result, the position of the mattress 4 is adjusted in accordance with the current sleeping position of the person 6, so that it is ensured that the person 6 is moved into a physiologically advantageous sleeping position which has no or only slight muscle tension. After step 11 e there is a delay step 11 f, and then a return is made to step 11b. The delay step 11f delays the signal for returning to step 11b by a certain time, for example by one minute, in order to avoid a change in the position setting B1, B2, B3 of the spring base 3 that follows one another for too short a time.
    The software 11 running on the smartphone 10 can be expanded in many different ways. For example, the different sleeping positions taken during a certain time unit, for example a night, or a month, their start and end in time can be stored. In addition, for example, the sleep quality subjectively perceived by the person 6, or the subjectively perceived pain, or the location of the pain can be queried and recorded. In addition, for example, the position of the person's body with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the bed 2 could be recorded, in particular for example the position of the shoulder 6b and / or the hip 6c with respect to the pivot axes S1, S2, S3, S4. In addition, for example, a plurality of measuring devices 9 could be arranged at a distance from one another along the spine 6f of the person 6 in order to measure the position of the spine 6f in detail during sleep. Such additionally measured data can be evaluated in a variety of ways. For example, it can be checked whether the predefined position settings B1, B2. are useful, or whether they should be adjusted further. In addition, it is possible to add a self-learning component to the software 11, with which the position assessments B1, B2 and / or further settings are automatically adapted, for example on the basis of the feedback given by the person 6.
    Advantageously, the device according to the invention is expanded into a system which comprises a plurality of height correction means 3o adapted for the suspension 3, which can be fastened to the suspension 3 in this way and / or can be detached therefrom and / or along the longitudinal direction L of the suspension 3 are displaceable that the spring base 3 has at least one depression and / or at least one elevation with respect to the mattress 4 arranged above it at determinable locations. The spring base 3 is particularly advantageously designed as a kit, comprising a plurality of sections 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g of different lengths in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the bed 2, which can be assembled in such a way that the position of at least one extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Axis of rotation S1, S2, S3, S4 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L can be determined. Such a kit enables the spring base 3 to be optimally adapted to the physique, in particular the size, of a person 6, in particular the position of the axis of rotation S1, S2, S3, S4.
