The Gadget Lounge review of Sleeptracker quotes Lee Loree, one of the Sleeptracker partners, as stating "Sleeptracker monitors and records brief periods of movement, by way of a small accelerometer, that are indicative of light stages of sleep."
After doing a little research at the U.S. Patent & Trademark office and a few international patent organizations, I have determined that these are a few of the likely pre-grant patents that Sleeptracker may be utilizing for its watch:
20040049132
20050012622
20050054940
20020080035
I also saw a Canadian registered patent application at the Canadian agency's website. However, that one looks like it is owned by Procter & Gamble...
Another interesting information trail was found by looking up the Sleeptracker trademark at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. You can check that entry out by looking here.
Feel free to add to my speculative list of patents for how Sleeptracker functions...I'm really curious, so help me figure it out...Thanks!
