Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for accurately determining sleep and wake onset based on a user's personalized physiological parameters for sleep and wake. First, a user is determined to be asleep using population level data. Thereafter, sensor collected data is used to determine the user's distribution of values of a physiological parameter when the user is asleep. This distribution of values is then used, instead of population-level data, to determine the user is asleep in real-time. As a result, the content and interventions are provided to help users get back to sleep. Further, the described techniques allow more accuracy in determining sleep statistics which can guide recommended interventions and therapies.

Abstract: Internet of things (IoT) hubs are distributed in a hospitality establishment and are connected to a control server. Various IoT devices are installed in each room or other separate guest area within the hospitality establishment. The hubs are located such that each IoT device is within a predetermined distance from at least one hub. The control server has mappings of which IoT devices are in which rooms and has mappings of which hubs are used to control which IoT devices. When a state change message is received from a user device, the control server confirms the user device is currently associated with at least one guest room and then determines which target IoT devices are affected by the state change message. The control server then sends commands to the various one or more hubs that control the target IoT devices in order to effect the state changes.
