A sleeping position detection method and height-adjustable pillow

Abstract

The invention provides a sleeping posture detection method; when human body has different sleeping postures, a neck back and a shoulder can generate different pressure or pressure intensity on a human body support device; the method can realize detection distinguishing; a specific representation: when people lay on his / her back, the human body neck back, the human body support device and a head support device can form a natural cavity, and the human body support device in the cavity can receive very small pressure or pressure intensity from the neck back; when people lay on his / her side, the shoulder falls into the cavity, so the human body support device in the cavity can receive obviously bigger pressure or pressure intensity from the shoulder. The sleeping posture detection method is high in detection precision, is not limited by body weight, height, and sexes, and has excellent suitability; the invention also provides a pillow with an adjustable height, and the pillow is designed according to the said sleeping posture detection method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting a sleeping posture and a pillow designed accordingly. Background technique [0002] Recently, a domestic study conducted a survey of 2,000 cervical spondylosis patients and showed that the number of adolescent cervical spondylosis patients has increased sharply, and its proportion has risen from 8.7% to 12%. Office white-collar workers, people who use computers for a long time, car drivers, people with incorrect sleeping postures, assembly line operators with fixed postures, people who play mahjong for a long time in life, watch TV, teachers and school students are also high-risk groups for cervical spondylosis. Poor sleeping posture is one of the main causes of cervical spondylosis. During sleep, because the muscles and ligaments are in a non-protective relaxation state, an unsuitable height will cause cervical spine injuries due to the lack of protection of the cervical muscles on the cervical spine. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this solution has obvious disadvantages: different people have different head weights, and the prone position must be judged by the spring force, which requires strict matching during purchase and production, resulting in products of various specifications, and they are not interchangeable. Inconvenient to produce and use

However, these methods are not widely applicable to people of different heights, fat and thin, and the discrimination accuracy is relatively low.

If specific products are made for people of different body shapes, there is a disadvantage of high cost

There are also some products that need to wear detection devices on the human body, which will undoubtedly increase the discomfort for users who are in a relaxed and deep sleep
