pr1or.art Inc., “AI-Powered Smart Bed System: IoT Sleep Innovation,” Published Technical Disclosure No. 24-11857076_0003_PTD, Published November 07, 2025, available at https://archive.pr1or.art/24-11857076_0003_PTD
This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,076.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed an adjustable bed system with foundations having first and second configurations. However, it lacked advanced technologies to optimize sleep quality, provide real-time feedback, and ensure secure user data management. The new invention addresses these limitations by integrating AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies to create a more powerful and user-centric system.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a synergistic combination of AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies, providing a novel and non-obvious solution for personalized sleep experiences and adaptive firmness control. The integration of these technologies enables real-time feedback, secure user data management, and optimized sleep quality, which is not achievable by the original patent's adjustable bed system alone.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include the use of different AI algorithms, various IoT-enabled devices, or alternative blockchain-based authentication systems. Additionally, the system could be integrated with other health monitoring devices, such as smart scales or blood pressure monitors, to provide a more comprehensive health and wellness platform.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The smart bed system has significant commercial potential in the healthcare, wellness, and hospitality industries. It can be marketed as a premium product for individuals seeking personalized sleep experiences, or as a value-added feature for hotels and resorts looking to enhance their guests' sleep quality.

Field of Art

Adjustable bed systems, smart home technologies, and sleep monitoring platforms with a focus on mechanical bed foundations, sensor integration, and adaptive control systems

Person of Ordinary Skill (PHOSITA) Profile

An engineer with expertise in mechanical design, embedded systems, IoT technologies, and sleep technology with knowledge of control systems, sensor integration, and adaptive user experience design

Obviousness Rationale

A PHOSITA would recognize that integrating AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies into an existing adjustable bed system represents a predictable extension of known control and personalization techniques. The source patent's foundation for adjustable bed configurations provides a natural framework for incorporating advanced sensing and adaptive technologies. The proposed variations represent logical technological progressions using standard engineering techniques of sensor integration, machine learning, and data-driven system optimization.
