Abstract

All modules, mains-powered with battery back-up, are controlled by a master module through e.g. short-range radio links. The user sets the required times on the clock unit in the master module. Typically, at bedtime, a sound module emits soothing prerecorded music, while another module provides soft e.g. blueish background lighting, accompanied by aromas derived from capsules of perfume, essential oils, etc. At waking time, the stimuli are appropriately robust, e.g. with bracing music, warm, orange lighting, warm, active, even appetizing, odors. The master unit provides independent setting times for two persons, stimulus options selectable by push-button, radio tuning, recording and volume controls, with associated display panels.

Description

Présentation et description du concept
Une précédente analyse de l'environnement et des fonctionalités des réveils nous a permis de définir des éléments pour un nouveau concept.Presentation and description of the concept
A previous analysis of the environment and the functionality of the alarm clocks allowed us to define elements for a new concept.

-Lutter contre le stress afin de bien débuter la journée. -Fighting against stress to start the day off right.

-Ne pas s'arréter à un seul type de stimulus, devant la multitude de réveil, il faut concevoir un produit pouvant s'adapter et satisfaire un maximum de personnes. -Do not stop at a single type of stimulus, in front of the multitude of alarm clocks, you have to design a product that can adapt and satisfy a maximum of people.

-Utiliser la musique, la lumière, les parfums ... pour créer un ambiance favorable à la détente ou au réveil. -Use music, light, perfumes ... to create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation or awakening.

-Etudier la possibilité d'une véritable fonction sommeil, on sait que plus de 60% des français déclarent dormir mal. Sommeil et réveil sont liés, les réunir dans un appareil est intéréssant. -Study the possibility of a real sleep function, we know that more than 60% of French people declare that they sleep poorly. Sleep and alarm clock are linked, bringing them together in one device is interesting.

Concept: Un produit à modules multiples ayant chacun leur fonction (lumière, musique, parfum, vibration...) pouvant être réunis ou dispersés dans la chambre.Concept: A product with multiple modules each having their function (light, music, perfume, vibration ...) that can be combined or dispersed in the room.

Comme nous l'avons vu, il nous faut créer une atmosphère favorable à chacun des moments pour éviter que le stress s'accumule et dégrade notre santé et nos relations avec ceux qui nous entourrent. Pour cela, on se base sur la combinaison de différents stimuli (lumière, couleurs, sons et les odeurs). En effet, chacun d'entre eux influence de façon significative l'organisme et l'état d'esprit des gens (chromatothérapie, musicothérapie, aromatothérapie et sophrologie). As we have seen, we must create a favorable atmosphere at each moment to prevent stress from accumulating and degrading our health and our relationships with those around us. For this, we base ourselves on the combination of different stimuli (light, colors, sounds and smells). Indeed, each of them significantly influences the body and the state of mind of people (chromatotherapy, music therapy, aromatotherapy and sophrology).

Ce concept de réveil permet non seulement d'avoir un point de vue médical mais aussi d'avoir une vision décorative, en placant où l'on veut les modules et en les multipliant pour obtenir l'atmosphère désirée. This concept of alarm clock allows not only to have a medical point of view but also to have a decorative vision, by placing where you want the modules and multiplying them to obtain the desired atmosphere.

Le fonctionnement est simple, l'horloge envoie à l'heure dite un signal activant les modules:
Sommeil: Lumière douce et bleutée.Operation is simple, the clock sends a signal activating the modules at the appointed time:
Sleep: Soft, bluish light.

Musique apaisante propice àl'évasion et aux rêves. Soothing music conducive to escape and dreams.

Parfums doux et calmant. Sweet and calming scents.

Réveil: Lumière douce, chaleureuse et orangée. Alarm clock: Soft, warm and orange light.

Musique d'éveil ou tonifiante. Awakening or invigorating music.

Parfums chaleureux, dynamisant ou appétisant (viennoiserie,
café...).Warm, invigorating or appetizing scents (pastries,
coffee...).

Ce réveil se veut être un produit anti-stress et travailler dans le sens d'une plus grande douceur, quiétude et sérénité face à un monde extérieur de plus en plus aggressif. Ses valeur sont naturellement celles de la douceur, du calme, de la détente par des formes moelleuses, des couleurs pastels ou plus profondes et un toucher souple. Mais, ce sont aussi celles, enfin, d'une technologie au service de l'homme par de nombreuses possibilités de personnalisation (parfums et musique).  This alarm clock wants to be an anti-stress product and work in the direction of greater softness, tranquility and serenity in the face of an increasingly aggressive outside world. Its values are naturally those of softness, calm, relaxation by soft shapes, pastel or deeper colors and a supple touch. But, it is also those, finally, of a technology at the service of the man by many possibilities of personalization (perfumes and music).
