Bedside Sensor Platform Architecture for UbiSAS in Ubiquitous Sensor Network

Many new services have emerged to realize ubiquitous computing environments, owing to the increasing supply of sensor networks. In this paper, we propose bedside sensor platform of UbiSAS (ubiquitous sleep aid service) in 4-layered architecture in the subset of ubiquitous computing for refreshing human sleep. The 4-layered architecture consists of a bedside sensor platform, a context-aware framework, an intelligent agent and service interaction. We define each layered framework and its function. And we examine technical feasibility. Humans can recover their health through a refreshing sleep from fatigue. So we propose more effective and most suitable bedside sensor platform methodology for refreshing sleep in this paper
