Problems solved by technology

However, according to the embodiment of the prior art, the snoring prevention device cannot return to the original state from the state in which the snoring prevention pillow is tilted after the snoring is sensed, unless the user manually resets the device
Reliable operation of the device is problematic, as snoring prevention becomes difficult if the sleeper moves off the pillow or changes position during sleep
In addition, the sleeper's normal sleep may be disturbed because of the noise generated by the mechanical friction between the camshaft and the plate

Abstract

An apparatus for preventing snoring includes a human body wearable unit to be worn by a sleeper; air chambers provided at a rear of the human body wearable unit, the air chambers being capable of shrinking and expanding; an air supply unit for supplying air to the air chambers; and a sound detecting unit having installed at the human body wearable unit for sensing a sound generated by the sleeper and for generating the sound as an electrical signal. The apparatus further includes a controller, when a snoring of the sleeper is sensed, for controlling the air supply unit to supply an air to the air chambers, after receiving the signal outputted from the sound detecting unit, wherein a posture of the sleeper is changed by the air chambers having the air supplied from the air supply unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for preventing and treating snoring and a method for preventing and treating snoring using the same; Snoring is stopped without waking the sleeper, and even if the sleeper moves unconsciously, this posture can be precisely changed by accurately judging whether the sleeper is snoring based on environmental noise. Background technique [0002] In general, habitual snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and upper airway resistance syndrome, which are classified as sleep-disordered breathing, are disorders in which recurrent closing of the upper airway occurs during sleep. This disorder interferes with normal sleep by reducing sleep efficiency at night, and in particular by reducing blood oxygen saturation [see Chrokroverty S. (1994) Sleep Disorder Medicine. Butterworth-Heinemann]. [0003] Sleep-disordered breathing causes daytime sleepiness, decreased concentration, memory loss, decreased learning ability, and chroni...
