[0107] The present invention will be described in detail below by way of describing exemplary embodiments.

[0108] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the anti-snoring pillow 1 includes an anti-snoring pillow body 10 and a control device 50. The anti-snoring pillow body 10 includes a head airbag 100, a back airbag 200, and a neck airbag 300 connected between the head airbag 100 and the back airbag 200. Figure 1The anti-snoring pillow body 10 defines a body length direction D1 from the head airbag 100 to the back airbag 200, and the left-right direction D2 is perpendicular to the body length direction D1. When the anti-snoring pillow 1 is used, the bottom surface of the entire anti-snoring pillow body 10 is, for example, in a horizontal plane. The user, for example, places his head on the head airbag 100, his neck on the neck airbag 300, and his back on the back airbag 200 on the anti-snoring pillow body 10. Therefore, the aforementioned body length direction D1 is substantially consistent with the direction in which the user's body length extends, and the aforementioned left-right direction D2 is substantially consistent with the left-right direction of the user himself.

[0109] like Figure 1 As shown, the anti-snoring pillow body 10 can be arranged on the bottom plate 400. In other words, the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300 are all arranged on the bottom plate 400. The bottom plate 400 is made of a hard material, such as PVC. As will be described in detail later, the neck airbag 300 is connected to the bottom plate 400 by, for example, a bottom plate connecting piece 365 (see also Figure 7 ) is connected to the bottom plate 400, so that the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300 can slide within a certain degree relative to the upper surface of the bottom plate 400. Accordingly, the upper surface of the bottom plate 400 can be coated with a material that is conducive to the sliding of the airbag, such as a Teflon coating.

[0110] like Figure 1 As shown, a sleeping position sensor 582 and a physiological data sensor 583 are provided at the anti-snoring pillow body 10. Specifically, the sleeping position sensor 582 is arranged on the upper surface of the back airbag 200, for example, the sleeping position sensor 582 can be arranged along the left-right direction D2. However, in the present invention, the specific arrangement mode (for example, arrangement direction) of the sleeping position sensor 582 is not limited thereto. The sleeping position sensor 582 is configured to monitor the sleeping position of the user (for example, lying flat, sleeping on the side, or the user is not lying on the anti-snoring pillow, etc.). According to one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-snoring pillow 1 is in an operating state only when the sleeping position sensor 582 detects that the user is lying on the anti-snoring pillow 1 (i.e., "on pillow state"), for example, at this time, the anti-snoring pillow 1 monitors the user's sleeping condition and performs appropriate snoring intervention, as described in detail later. When the sleeping position sensor 582 detects that the user is not lying on the anti-snoring pillow 1 (i.e., "off pillow state"), the anti-snoring pillow 1 is not in an operating state, that is, it does not monitor the user's sleeping condition.

[0111] Further, the sleeping position sensor 582 may be a pressure sensor, such as a piezoelectric sensor, a piezoresistive sensor, a capacitive sensor, etc. According to one embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the sleeping position sensor 582 is a piezoresistive sensor, which feeds back the pressure distribution on the sensor through a piezoresistive signal. For example, the sleeping position sensor 582 has a long strip shape and extends along the left-right direction D2. As a result, the sleeping position sensor 582 has improved monitoring accuracy.

[0112] On the other hand, the physiological data sensor 583 is arranged below the neck airbag 300, for example, between the lower surface of the neck airbag 300 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 400. For example, the physiological data sensor 583 can be arranged along the left-right direction D2. However, in the present invention, the specific arrangement mode (such as the arrangement direction) of the physiological data sensor 583 is not limited thereto. The physiological data sensor 583 is configured to monitor the user's sleep physiological data, such as the user's heart rate, respiratory rate and other parameters. According to one embodiment of the present invention, these parameters obtained by the physiological data sensor 583 can be used to determine information such as sleep duration and sleep depth, so as to evaluate the overall quality of sleep and the impact of snoring intervention performed by the anti-snoring pillow 1 on the overall quality of sleep. In addition, the physiological data sensor 583 can be further configured to evaluate the user's breathing time, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), blood oxygen status, etc. during sleep, so as to evaluate the impact of snoring intervention performed by the anti-snoring pillow 1 on snoring and apnea. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the physiological data sensor 583 can also be used for gross body movement detection. For example, when the physiological data sensor 583 detects that the user has large body movements, the snoring intervention action of the anti-snoring pillow 1 can be paused. After the user's body movement stops, the anti-snoring pillow 1 is reset to its initial state and monitoring is resumed.

[0113] The physiological data sensor 583 may be a pressure sensor, such as a piezoelectric sensor, a piezoresistive sensor, a capacitive sensor, etc. According to one embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the physiological data sensor 583 is a piezoelectric sensor. For example, the piezoelectric sensor 583 has a long strip shape and extends along the left-right direction D2. Thus, the piezoelectric sensor 583 has improved monitoring accuracy.

[0114] like Figure 1 As shown, a junction box 410 is also provided on the bottom plate 400. The sleeping position sensor 582 and the piezoelectric sensor 583 can be connected to a data acquisition board (not shown) located in the junction box 410 via a data line, and the data acquisition board can be further connected to other related devices. In addition, a plurality of air pipes can be led out of the junction box 410 to be connected to the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300 respectively. The junction box 410 can be installed on the junction box installation part 420 located on the upper surface of the bottom plate 400. Figure 1Two junction box mounting parts 420 on the bottom plate 400 are shown, both of which are located at the end of the bottom plate 400 close to the head airbag 100, that is, close to the head of the user. The junction box 410 can be optionally installed at one of the junction box mounting parts 420. Therefore, a snoring monitoring sensor 581 can also be set in the junction box 410, and the snoring monitoring sensor 581 is configured to monitor the snoring of the user, and the control device 50 can convert the state of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the data from the snoring monitoring sensor 581, as will be described in detail later. Alternatively, the snoring monitoring sensor 581 can also be set at the anti-snoring pillow body 10, for example, below the anti-snoring pillow body 10. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the snoring monitoring sensor 581 can be a sound sensor or a piezoelectric sensor. In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a separate snoring monitoring sensor 581 may not be set, and snoring may be monitored by a physiological data sensor 583.

[0115] Figure 1 The control assembly 510 of the control device 50 is also shown. The control assembly 510 includes an air pump 520 and a valve module 530, and is connected to the anti-snoring pillow body 10. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the control component 510 is connected to the junction box 410 via the main pipeline 430, and further connected to the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300, so as to respectively control the inflation amount of the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300. For example, three air pipes respectively connected to the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300 are arranged in the main pipeline 430. The control component 510 is arranged spaced apart from the anti-snoring pillow body 10, for example, the main pipeline 430 may have a longer length, for example, greater than 0.5 meters, for example, greater than 1.0 meters, so as to prevent the air pump 520 and related components from being too close to the user and affecting the user's sleep.

[0116] The control device 50 may also include a control board 560. The control board 560 may be disposed adjacent to the air pump 520 and the valve module 530, and realize control over the air pump 520 and the valve module 530. For example, the control board 560 controls the flow rate of the air flow pumped out by the air pump 520 and the opening and closing of each air valve in the valve module 520 by adjusting the high and low levels and the output voltage. In addition, the data acquisition board in the junction box 410 may be connected to the control board 560 via a data line in the main pipeline 430 to obtain the electrical energy required for the operation of the data acquisition board via the data line, and / or transmit the data from the relevant sensors to the control board 560. In one embodiment, the control board 560 may also be connected to an external device, for example, via wireless communication, such as being connected to an external device via a wifi / 4g network. Thus, for example, the working status of the anti-snoring pillow 1 may be obtained through an external device, or some working parameters of the anti-snoring pillow 1 may be controlled. As Figure 1As shown, the control board 560 may be disposed together with the air pump 520 and the valve module 530 in a housing connected to the junction box 410 via the main pipe 430 .

[0117] Figure 2 The perspective view of the anti-snoring pillow body 10 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 of the present invention is shown, and specifically shows the head airbag 100 , the back airbag 200 , and the neck airbag 300 connected between the head airbag 100 and the back airbag 200 . Figure 2 The three hollow arrows in the figure schematically show the deformation forms of the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300. Figure 2 As shown, the head airbag 100 has a height along the vertical direction D3, and the vertical direction D3 is perpendicular to the body length direction D1 and the left-right direction D2. The height of the head airbag 100 can be adjusted and changed by the control device 50. The neck airbag 300 has a length along the body length direction D1, and the length can be adjusted and changed by the control device 50. The back airbag 200 has a first end 201 close to the head airbag 100 and a second end 202 opposite to the first end 201, and the back airbag 200 has an upward slope from the second end 202 to the first end 201. The slope of the back airbag 200 can be adjusted and changed by the control device 50. The material of the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300 can be, for example, TPU, so as to form the corresponding shapes described below by inflation.

[0118] Figure 3A FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the back airbag 200 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention. Figure 3A As shown, the back airbag 200 has an upward slope from the second end 202 to the first end 201. For example, the slope is defined by a height difference 292 between the first end and the second end of the back airbag 200 and a length 291 of the back airbag 200 along the body length direction D1. The back airbag 200 includes a plurality of back sub-airbags 250 stacked on each other in the vertical direction D3, for example Figure 3A According to an embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of back sub-airbags 250 may be gas-connected to each other so as to be inflated and deflated together. Figure 3A As shown, some or all of the plurality of back sub-airbags 250 may each have an upward slope from the second end 202 to the first end 201, so that the back airbag 200 can have a larger slope and a relatively flat surface. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the back airbag 200 may also include only one back sub-airbag 250.

[0119] Figure 3BA perspective view of a back sub-airbag 250 is shown. The back sub-airbag 250 includes an upper surface 251 and a lower surface 252, and includes an internally connected air cavity 255. In other words, for the back sub-airbag 250, only one inflation and deflation port is required to inflate or deflate the entire back sub-airbag 250. The back sub-airbag 250 also includes a connecting portion connecting the upper surface 251 and the lower surface 252, so that the back sub-airbag 250 has a specific shape when inflated. Specifically, when the back sub-airbag 250 is inflated, the connecting portion blocks the tendency of the upper surface 251 and the lower surface 252 to separate from each other by connecting the upper surface 251 and the lower surface 252. Therefore, according to the present invention, for at least some of the back sub-airbags 250, by setting the shape and distribution of their connecting portions, they have a slope shape, and the back airbag 200 as a whole has a slope shape. According to an embodiment of the present invention, each back sub-airbag 250 of the back airbag 200 includes an internally connected air cavity 255 as described above. In addition, the back sub-airbags 250 may be connected to each other.

[0120] Figure 4A and Figure 4B 1 and 2 show top views of the back sub-airbag 250 according to two embodiments of the present invention, respectively, specifically showing different arrangements of the connecting portion. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the connection parts of each back sub-airbag 250 are discrete from each other, thereby promoting the inflation and deflation speed of the back sub-airbag 250 and simplifying the manufacturing process. In other words, by providing appropriately distributed discrete connection parts in the back sub-airbag 250 and making the air cavities of the back sub-airbag 250 communicate with each other, the back sub-airbag 250 can form an overall shape with a slope when only a single air pipe is provided. As a result, the control of the inflation and deflation of the back sub-airbag 250 is simplified.

[0121] exist Figure 4A , a plurality of linear connecting portions 257 arranged in the body length direction D1 and extending in the left-right direction D2 are shown (for clarity, Figure 4A Only two linear connecting portions 257 are indicated, and the spacing between the multiple linear connecting portions 257 decreases in the body length direction D1. Figure 4A In the figure, multiple rows of dot-shaped connecting portions 258 arranged along the length direction D1 are also shown (for clarity, Figure 4A Specifically, rows of dot-shaped connecting portions 258 and linear connecting portions are arranged alternately in the body length direction D1. In FIG. 4B, multiple rows of dot-shaped connecting portions 258 arranged along the body length direction D1 are shown (for clarity, Figure 4B Only two dot-shaped connecting portions 258 are indicated. Figure 4BAs shown, the connection size of each row of connection parts in the multiple rows of point-shaped connection parts 258 decreases in the body length direction D1. The number and distribution of the above connection parts make the back sub-airbag 250 have a certain slope and a relatively flat surface, thereby improving the comfort of the anti-snoring pillow.

[0122] See also Figure 5A , which shows a side cross-sectional view of a back sub-airbag 250 viewed along the left-right direction D2. Figure 5A As shown, due to the arrangement of the connecting portion, the back sub-airbag 250 has an upwardly inclined slope from the second end 202 to the first end 201 . Figure 5B FIG. 2 shows a side cross-sectional view of a back sub-airbag 250 viewed along the body length direction D1. Figure 5B As shown, the setting of the connecting part makes the height of the middle part 203 of the back sub-airbag 250 in the left-right direction D2 higher than the height of the two side parts (i.e., the left side part 204 and the right side part 205). Therefore, by setting the connecting part of each back sub-airbag 250, the height of the middle part of the corresponding back airbag 200 in the left-right direction D2 can be higher than the height of the two side parts when inflated. Therefore, when the user lies on the anti-snoring pillow 1, the middle part of the back airbag 200 is subjected to more pressure and sinks, and the two side parts expand accordingly, so that the upper surface of the entire back airbag 200 is closer to a plane, thereby further improving the comfort of the anti-snoring pillow 1.

[0123] In addition, according to the present invention, each back sub-airbag 250 may have a different distribution of connecting parts to improve the overall function and comfort of the back airbag 200. For example, the back sub-airbag 250 located at the top of the back airbag 200 may have a larger number or a more densely distributed connecting part relative to the back sub-airbag 250 below it. Therefore, each of the back sub-airbags 250 located below can have a larger slope when inflated. Relatively speaking, the top back sub-airbag 250 contributes less to the slope of the back airbag 200, but has a closer to a plane, and thus a flatter upper surface, to improve the comfort of the anti-snoring pillow 1. Therefore, according to the present invention, the slope of the back airbag 200 can be changed by controlling its inflation degree. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the back airbag 200 having a plurality of back sub-airbags 250 can be raised by 10 cm to 20 cm at its first end 201 when fully inflated, thereby forming a larger slope to raise the back of the human body.

[0124] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the head airbag 100 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention. Figure 6As shown, the head airbag 100 may include a plurality of head sub-airbags 150 (for example, four head sub-airbags 150) stacked on each other in the vertical direction D3. The plurality of head sub-airbags 150 may be gas-connected to each other so as to be inflated and deflated together. Each head sub-airbag 150 may, for example, have an inflated shape in which the upper surface and the lower surface are substantially parallel. For example, the head sub-airbag 150 may also be provided with a connecting portion connecting its upper surface and the lower surface so as to form a plurality of sub-air cavities of the same shape and connected to each other between its upper surface and the lower surface. Thus, the height 192 of the head airbag 100 can be changed by controlling its inflation degree. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the height 192 of the head airbag 100 can be changed between 0 cm and 25 cm, for example, can be changed between 0 cm and 20 cm.

[0125] Figure 7 FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the neck airbag 300 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the neck airbag 300 may include a plurality of neck sub-airbags 350 arranged along the body length direction D1. The plurality of neck sub-airbags 350 may be gas-connected to each other so as to be inflated and deflated together. Thus, the length 391 of the neck airbag 300 can be changed by controlling its inflation degree. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the length 391 of the neck airbag 300 can be changed between 1 cm and 15 cm, thereby adjusting the distance between the head airbag 100 and the back airbag 200.

[0126] Figure 7 Also shown is a connection piece 360 ​​for the neck airbag, which can be connected to the connection piece 160 for the head airbag (see also Figure 6 ) and the connecting piece 260 of the back airbag (see also Figure 3A and Figure 3B ), so that the neck airbag 300 is connected to the head airbag 100 and the back airbag 200. For example, the corresponding connecting pieces may be respectively provided with through holes to rivet the corresponding connecting pieces to each other. In addition, according to other embodiments of the present invention, the corresponding connecting pieces may be welded to each other (for example, the corresponding connecting pieces made of TPU are welded together by high frequency), or the corresponding connecting pieces may be connected to each other by a zipper. According to the present invention, the above connection method can also be used for the connection between the bottom plate connecting piece 365 of the neck airbag 300 and the bottom plate 400.

[0127] Figure 8The pillow core 60 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention is shown. The pillow core 60 covers the head airbag 100, the neck airbag 300 and the back airbag 200 from at least the upper side. For example, the pillow core 60 may include a head airbag covering portion 610, a neck airbag covering portion 630 and a back airbag covering portion 620. The head airbag covering portion 610 and the neck airbag covering portion 630 may be formed as an integrated structure so that the anti-snoring pillow 1 has a higher degree of comfort as a whole. The back airbag covering portion 620 may have a smaller thickness relative to the head airbag covering portion 610 and the neck airbag covering portion 630. On the other hand, the thickness of the neck airbag covering portion 630 may be greater than the thickness of the head airbag covering portion 610 so as to provide the user with a more comfortable upper surface of the anti-snoring pillow 1 when the airbags of the anti-snoring pillow 1 have different inflation degrees (see also). FIG. 12A to FIG. 12C ). In other words, the thickness of the pillow core 60 above the neck airbag 300 is greater than the thickness above the head airbag 100 and the thickness above the back airbag 200. In addition, the pillow core 60 is made of, for example, polyurethane foam to improve comfort. The pillow core 60 may also include a side covering portion that covers each airbag on the side to improve the appearance and use experience of the anti-snoring pillow 1.

[0128] Fig. 9 A perspective view of a part of the control device 50 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention is shown, showing the control assembly 510 and its air pump 520 and valve module 530, and control board 560. These components are arranged together in the housing. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air pump 520 may have a flow rate of 5L to 15L, and has two interfaces for inflation and exhaust. An air pump muffler 551 may be provided outside the air pump 520 to muffle and reduce vibration of the air pump 520. For example, the air pump muffler 551 may include a hard frame and a muffler material, wherein the air pump 520 is suspended in the frame and connected to the frame by a spring. Additional muffler components may be provided in the air circuit outside the air pump 520, for example, an exhaust muffler 552 may also be provided to further reduce the noise emitted by the control assembly 510. One end of the main pipeline 430 is connected to the housing to connect the air pipe and data cable from the control assembly 510 to the junction box 410 at the bottom plate 400.

[0129] Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the components of the anti-snoring pillow 1 related to the inflation and deflation of the airbag according to an embodiment. Fig.10 As shown, multiple valves of the valve module 530 are connected between the air pump 520 and each airbag to inflate or deflate each airbag. Fig.10In the embodiment, the head airbag 100, the neck airbag 300 and the back airbag 200 are each connected to an air tube to be inflated or deflated by the corresponding air tube, and the head airbag 100, the neck airbag 300 and the back airbag 200 are also respectively connected to an air pressure sensor 540. Each air pressure sensor 540 can also be connected to the data acquisition board in the junction box 410, and transmit the data to the control board 560 via the aforementioned data line to assist the control board 560 in controlling the operation of the control component 510.

[0130] exist Fig.10 In the embodiment, the first valve 531 and the second valve 532 as two-position three-way valves respectively control the inflation and exhaust of the air circuit. The third valve 533, the fourth valve 534, the fifth valve 535 and the sixth valve 536 are all single-vent valves. Specifically, when the first valve 531 connects the air pump 520 to the air circuit and the second valve 532 connects the air pump 520 to the atmosphere, the air pump 520 inflates the corresponding airbag. On the contrary, when the first valve 531 connects the air pump 520 to the atmosphere and the second valve 532 connects the air pump 520 to the air circuit, the air pump 520 exhausts the corresponding airbag. The third valve 533 and the sixth valve 536 control the head airbag 100, the fourth valve 534 controls the neck airbag 300, and the fifth valve 535 controls the back airbag 200. Among them, when the sixth valve 536 is opened, the head airbag 100 is connected to the air circuit and can be inflated or exhausted by the air pump 520. When the third valve 533 is opened, the head airbag 100 is connected to the air circuit through a throttle valve 538, and can be inflated or exhausted by the air pump 520 while limiting the air flow rate. When the fourth valve 534 is opened, the neck airbag 300 is connected to the air circuit through another throttle valve 539, and can be inflated or exhausted by the air pump 520 while limiting the air flow rate. When the fifth valve 535 is opened, the back airbag 200 is connected to the air circuit, and can be inflated or exhausted by the air pump 520. In this way, the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300 can be controlled separately.

[0131] Fig.11A The figure shows the junction box 410 and the junction box installation part 420 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention. Fig. 11B The junction box installation part 420 is shown separately. As mentioned above, two junction box installation parts 420 can be set on the bottom plate 400, for example, on the left and right sides of the bottom plate 400. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to select a more suitable junction box installation part 420 to install the junction box 410 according to the placement position of the control component 510 and the corresponding direction of the main pipeline 430. Fig. 11BAs shown, the junction box installation part 420 may be provided with a receiving groove 421 to receive the corresponding protrusion of the junction box 410, and the junction box 420 may also be provided with a locking mechanism 422 (e.g., a latch) to fix the junction box 410 to the selected junction box installation part 420. By fixing the junction box 410 containing the trachea, data cable and data acquisition board to the junction box installation part 420, the integration degree of various components of the anti-snoring pillow 1 is effectively improved, and it is convenient to use and maintain.

[0132] Fig. 12A , Fig. 12B and Fig. 12C The three working states of the anti-snoring pillow 1 according to the present invention are shown respectively, which correspond to different inflation levels of the head airbag 100, the back airbag 200 and the neck airbag 300. Specifically, Fig. 12A shows the initial state, Fig. 12B shows the first intervention state, Fig. 12C The second intervention state is shown. The initial state is the state of the anti-snoring pillow 1 when the user begins to lie on the anti-snoring pillow 1 and prepares to fall asleep. The first intervention state and the second intervention state are the states adjusted to the anti-snoring pillow 1 for intervening in the user's snoring (e.g., stopping the snoring) after the anti-snoring pillow 1 detects the user's snoring.

[0133] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the anti-snoring pillow 1 can be switched between an initial state, a first intervention state, and a second intervention state. For the convenience of description, in the initial state, the first intervention state, and the second intervention state, the head airbag 100 is at an initial height, a first intervention height, and a second intervention height, respectively, the neck airbag 300 is at an initial length, a first intervention length, and a second intervention length, respectively, and the back airbag 200 is at an initial slope, a first intervention slope, and a second intervention slope, respectively.

[0134] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the comparison Fig. 12A , Fig. 12B and Fig. 12C , the first intervention height of the head airbag 100 can be greater than the second intervention height, the first intervention length of the neck airbag 200 can be greater than the second intervention length, the second intervention slope of the back airbag 300 can be greater than the first intervention slope, and the first intervention slope of the back airbag 300 can be greater than the initial slope. For example, the initial slope of the back airbag 300 can be close to zero, so that the initial state of the anti-snoring pillow 1 is close to the use state of a general pillow. For another example, the initial height of the head airbag 100 can be adjusted according to the habits and preferences of the user.

[0135] Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the initial height of the head airbag 100 is less than the first intervention height and greater than the second intervention height, and the initial length of the neck airbag 200 is equal to the first intervention length. Thus, a more universal preset initial state can be provided for the anti-snoring pillow 1.

[0136] Fig. 12A , Fig. 12B and Fig. 12C The user's posture is also shown. Fig. 12A , Fig. 12B and Fig. 12C , the user's posture changes with the state of the anti-snoring pillow 1. Specifically, when the user lies on the anti-snoring pillow 1, the angle between the line 710 from the user's neck to the top of the head and the line 720 from the neck to the trunk defines the head extension angle 700. Fig. 12A ), the user's head extension angle 700 is close to the state of using a general pillow, that is, less than 180 degrees. In the first intervention state ( Fig. 12B ), the user's head extension angle is greater than the head extension angle in the initial state, for example, greater than 180 degrees. Fig. 12C ), the user's head extension angle is greater than the head extension angle in the first intervention state and greater than 180 degrees. Thus, when the anti-snoring pillow 1 changes from the initial state to the first intervention state, the user's head extension angle increases, and when the anti-snoring pillow 1 changes from the first intervention state to the second intervention state, the user's head extension angle further increases. The applicant has found that the increase in the head extension angle can increase the distance between the end of the user's chin and the cervical vertebrae, thereby changing the relative position of the easily collapsible tissue in the user's airway, which increases the cross-sectional area of ​​the airway to eliminate snoring.

[0137] See also Fig.13 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for using the anti-snoring pillow 1 of the aforementioned embodiment may include: step a: setting the anti-snoring pillow to an initial state 1300, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user starts to snore, executing step b; step b: switching the anti-snoring pillow to a first intervention state 1301, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user stops snoring within a first waiting time, executing step a, and if it is detected that the user does not stop snoring within the first waiting time, executing step c; step c: switching the anti-snoring pillow to a second intervention state 1302, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user stops snoring, executing step d; step d: switching the anti-snoring pillow to the first intervention state 1301, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user does not start to snore within the second waiting time, executing step a, and if it is detected that the user starts to snore within the second waiting time, executing step c.

[0138] In addition, when the anti-snoring pillow 1 has a sleeping position sensor 582, as described above, the sleeping position sensor 582 can be used to determine the user's "on-pillow state" and "off-pillow state". Therefore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned method of using the anti-snoring pillow 1 can further include, when the user's "on-pillow state" is detected, executing step a in the aforementioned method.

[0139] Further, as mentioned above, the sleeping position sensor 582 can also be used to determine whether the user's sleeping position is supine (i.e., lying flat) or side sleeping. When the user is in a supine sleeping state, the user's snoring can be monitored and the shapes of the various airbags of the anti-snoring pillow 1 can be adjusted accordingly to intervene in snoring, such as performing the aforementioned method. According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the user is in a side sleeping state, the anti-snoring pillow 1 can be adjusted to a side sleeping preset state. In this side sleeping preset state, the head airbag 100 of the anti-snoring pillow 1 can be increased in height by inflation, for example, adjusted to a higher height relative to the initial state, and then, for example, adjusted to a side sleeping preference height preset by the user, so as to increase the user's comfort in the side sleeping state. The applicant found that compared with the supine sleeping state, the probability of snoring in the side sleeping state is lower. Therefore, by providing a side sleeping preset state, the user's side sleeping time can be increased, thereby also reducing the number of snoring throughout the night. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned method of using the anti-snoring pillow 1 may further include, when it is detected that the user is in a side-sleeping state, switching the anti-snoring pillow to a side-sleeping preset state; when it is detected that the user is in a supine sleeping state, executing step a in the aforementioned method.

[0140] In the case where the anti-snoring pillow 1 has a physiological data sensor 583, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned method of using the anti-snoring pillow 1 may further include, if the user's body movement is detected during the state transition of the anti-snoring pillow 1, then pausing the state transition of the anti-snoring pillow 1, and after detecting that the user's body movement has stopped, executing step a in the aforementioned method. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned method of using the anti-snoring pillow 1 may include a method of processing the user's respiratory events (such as monitoring the user's respiratory arrest), for example, in each step of the aforementioned method, the user's snoring and respiratory events such as respiratory arrest are monitored, and in each step, the monitored respiratory events are processed in the same way as the monitored snoring, and the unmonitored respiratory events are processed in the same way as the unmonitored snoring.

[0141] In addition, as described above, an anti-snoring pillow can be configured as follows: when a user lies on the anti-snoring pillow, the angle between the line from the user's neck to the top of the head and the line from the neck to the torso defines the head extension angle, wherein the anti-snoring pillow can at least switch between an initial state, a first intervention state, and a second intervention state, so that: the user's head extension angle in the initial state is less than 180 degrees, the user's head extension angle in the first intervention state is greater than the head extension angle in the initial state, and the user's head extension angle in the second intervention state is greater than the head extension angle in the first intervention state and greater than 180 degrees.

[0142] See also Fig.13 According to the present invention, a method for using the anti-snoring pillow may include: step a: setting the anti-snoring pillow to an initial state 1300, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user starts to snore, executing step b; step b: switching the anti-snoring pillow to a first intervention state 1301, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user stops snoring within a first waiting time, executing step a, and if it is detected that the user does not stop snoring within the first waiting time, executing step c; step c: switching the anti-snoring pillow to a second intervention state 1302, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user stops snoring, executing step d; step d: switching the anti-snoring pillow to the first intervention state 1301, continuously or intermittently monitoring whether the user is snoring, and if it is detected that the user does not start to snore within the second waiting time, executing step a, and if it is detected that the user starts to snore within the second waiting time, executing step c.

[0143] The exemplary implementation of the anti-snoring pillow and the method of using the anti-snoring pillow proposed in the present invention is described in detail above with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, without departing from the concept of the present invention, various modifications and alterations may be made to the above-mentioned specific embodiments, and various technical features and structures proposed in the present invention may be combined in various ways without exceeding the scope of protection of the present invention.
