Patent number: 11967246Abstract: A configuration for a breathing sequence may be defined using a user interface of a user device. The user interface may also be used to begin the breathing sequence. During the breathing sequence, a fluctuating user interface element may fluctuate at a cyclic rate. Such fluctuation may include repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element. During the breathing sequence, heart rate data may be collected and used to present heart rate information at a conclusion of the breathing sequence.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jay Kriz Blahnik, Erno H. Klaassen, Julie A. Arney, Alan C. Dye, Gary I. Butcher, Kevin M. Lynch, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Gracee Agrawal, Stephen J. Waydo, Christopher J. Brouse

Publication number: 20230389862Abstract: A wearable device including a motion-tracking sensor can be used for tracking sleep. The data from the motion-tracking sensor can be to estimate/classify the sleep state for multiple periods and/or to determine sleep intervals. In some examples, to improve performance, sleep state classification can be performed on data within a sleep tracking session. The start of the sleep tracking session can be defined by detecting a rest state and the end of the sleep tracking session can be defined by an activity state. In some examples, to improve performance, the classified sleep states for the multiple periods can be filtered and/or smoothed. In some examples, a signal quality check can be performed for the data from the motion-tracking sensor. In some examples, the classification of the sleep states and/or the display of the results of sleep tracking can be subject to passing one or more signal quality checks.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Mohsen MOLLAZADEH, Vignesh KALIDAS, Nader E.

Publication number: 20220386944Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for sleep staging using machine learning. In an embodiment, a method comprises: receiving, with at least one processor, sensor signals from a sensor, the sensor signals including at least motion signals and respiratory signals of a user; extracting, with the at least one processor, features from the sensor signals; predicting, with a machine learning classifier, that the user is asleep or awake based on the features; and computing, with the at least one processor, a sleep or wake metric based on whether the user is predicted to be asleep or awake.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2021Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Alexander M. Chan, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Matt T. Bianchi

Patent number: 11069255Abstract: A breathing sequence may define a suggested breathing pattern. Input may be received at a user interface of a device to initiate the breathing sequence. The breathing sequence may include a configuration phase in which configuration information may be received. The configuration information may define a variable time period for the breathing sequence. The breathing sequence also may include a preliminary phase during which a first version of a fluctuating progress indicator may be presented on the user interface. The fluctuating progress indicator may include a plurality of variable visual characteristics and may fluctuate at a first cyclic rate. The breathing sequence may also include a breathing phase during which a second version of the fluctuating progress indicator may be presented. The second version of the fluctuating progress indicator may fluctuate at a second cyclic rate according to a breathing rate.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jay C. Blahnik, Erno H. Klaassen, Julie A. Arney, Alan C. Dye, Gary I. Butcher, Kevin M. Lynch, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Gracee Agrawal, Stephen J. Waydo, Christopher J. Brouse

Patent number: 10726731Abstract: A breathing sequence may define a suggested breathing pattern. Based on signal data collected by a user device, an initial breathing pattern that includes a cyclic pattern may be estimated. A first period of the breathing sequence may be initiated by generating a breathing sequence element based on a synchronization of the cyclic pattern with the breathing sequence. The breathing sequence element may fluctuate during a second period of the breathing sequence in accordance with a breathing profile associated with the suggested breathing pattern.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julie A. Arney, Erno H. Klaassen, Jay C. Blahnik, Alan C. Dye, Gary I. Butcher, Kevin M. Lynch, Christopher J. Brouse, Nader E. Bagherzadeh, Gracee Agrawal, Stephen J. Waydo
