[0002] At present, with the improvement of the quality of life, people begin to pay more attention to their own health status. Among them, many people have snoring behavior during sleep. Snoring behavior refers to the breathing sound produced during sleep, which is usually caused by the vibration sound of air passing through a narrow respiratory tract. Snoring behavior is normal to a certain extent, but if it is severe or continuous, it may have some adverse effects on the health of individuals and others. Snoring sound will affect the sleep quality of the snorer himself, leading to fatigue, daytime drowsiness and other problems, and also interfere with the sleep of others, and even more, may cause respiratory pause and hypoxia, further increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease of the patient.
[0003] In the related field, the existing snoring behavior detection scheme is mostly to capture snoring sound signals through an audio sensor to identify whether a user snores, and then execute snoring intervention. When there are non-single users in the same space, such method cannot identify the source of snoring sound, that is, which user, so as to make unified snoring intervention control, which may affect the user who does not snore, and thus reduce the sleep quality of the user.

[0069] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are intended to explain, not limit, the present application. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.

For the step numbers in the following examples, they are only set for the convenience of description and explanation, and the order between the steps is not limited in any way, and the execution order of each step in the examples can be adaptively adjusted according to the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0070] It can be understood that the terms "first", "second", and the like used in the present application can be used herein to describe various concepts, but unless specifically stated, these concepts are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one concept from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present application, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining".
[0071] The terms "at least one", "multiple", "each", "any", and the like used in the present application include one, two or more than two, multiple includes two or more than two, each refers to each of the corresponding multiple, and any refers to any one of the multiple.
[0072] Before the embodiments of the present application are described in detail, the related background art involved in the embodiments of the present application is first described as follows:
[0073] Snoring is not only a common phenomenon during sleep, but also a predictor of various health risks. In China, about 176 million people aged 30-69 have snoring with apnea, and severe cases are diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. Sleep apnea causes hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention, leading to blood pressure fluctuations and increased cardiac load, and can induce hypertension, coronary heart disease, and even myocardial infarction in the long term. Hypoxemia can damage vascular endothelial function and increase the risk of atherosclerosis, significantly increasing the probability of stroke. Repeated apnea forces the brain to frequently wake up to restore breathing, leading to sleep fragmentation, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and reduced work efficiency. Long-term hypoxia interferes with brain cell metabolism, causing memory loss, attention deficit, and reaction delay, and some patients may experience psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. Blood glucose fluctuations caused by apnea can reduce insulin sensitivity, increase the risk of abnormal glucose metabolism and diabetes. Male patients are prone to erectile dysfunction, which may be related to endocrine disorders and vascular lesions. Long-term airway narrowing can induce respiratory tract infections such as chronic pharyngitis and bronchitis. Severe apnea can cause acute hypoxia, which may induce nocturnal cardiac sudden death. Snoring can disturb the sleep of partners, leading to family conflicts and affecting personal image in social situations.
[0074] Existing technical solutions basically capture snoring signals through sound to identify whether the user is snoring, and then perform snoring intervention control. However, when there are non-single users in the same space, the source of the sound captured signal may be the partner, and at this time it is not possible to determine whether it is the user's snoring or the partner's snoring to make uniform snoring intervention control, which may affect the user who does not snore, thereby reducing the user's sleep quality. Moreover, the information captured through sound may contain private content, which the user may resist.
[0075] At the same time, existing snoring behavior suppression solutions are mostly through snoring devices (such as airbag snoring pillows) to intervene with the user according to pre-set gears or modes, with fixed intervention intensity, which cannot be adjusted in real time. When the intervention intensity and the actual breathing condition of the user do not match, it may affect the user's sleep quality.
[0076] Therefore, the application provides a snoring stopping method and a snoring stopping device. The technical scheme of the application comprises: obtaining an original vibration signal of a user's neck, preprocessing the original vibration signal to obtain a target vibration signal; analyzing a breathing state of the user according to the target vibration signal to obtain a breathing state analysis result; determining whether an intervention condition is met according to the breathing state analysis result; and when the intervention condition is met, intervening in the breathing state of the user according to the breathing state analysis result and a preset adaptive intervention rule. The snoring behavior detection scheme of the application does not need to collect sound, can prevent misjudgment caused by interference of snoring sound of other users, does not need to collect sound emitted by the user, does not involve user privacy, and can flexibly regulate and control intervention intensity through the adaptive intervention rule, so that the user obtains smooth and smooth intervention experience, and the sleep quality of the user can be ensured.
[0077] Figure 1 A step schematic diagram of a snoring stopping method provided by the embodiment of the application is provided with reference to Figure 1 The embodiment of the application provides a snoring stopping method, which comprises:
[0078] S110, obtaining an original vibration signal of a user's neck, preprocessing the original vibration signal to obtain a target vibration signal;
[0079] Specifically, in the embodiment, the original vibration signal of the user's neck is used as basic information for analyzing the breathing state of the user. The vibration signal can be detected by contacting the user's neck through an electrode patch, a flexible fabric embedded with a piezoelectric sensor or the like. The vibration signal contains a breathing vibration signal, a heart beat vibration signal, a snoring vibration signal, other body vibration signals and interference vibration signals. Through a reasonable signal processing mode, invalid interference vibration signals can be removed, and effective target vibration signals, i.e., high-frequency vibration signals and breathing vibration signals related to snoring sound, are separated and obtained as a basis for analyzing the breathing state of the user in the subsequent steps.
[0080] In some alternative embodiments, obtaining an original vibration signal of a user's neck, preprocessing the original vibration signal to obtain a target vibration signal comprises:
[0081] S111, obtaining the original vibration signal of the user's neck through a flexible piezoelectric sensor array;
[0082] S112, filtering and denoising the original vibration signal to separate and obtain the target vibration signal.
[0083] Specifically, in the embodiment, the original vibration signal is obtained through a flexible piezoelectric sensor array.
[0084] Exemplarily, the application is described with reference to Figure 2The flexible piezoelectric sensor array can be embedded in a flexible fabric and covered on a pillow where the user sleeps to obtain the original vibration signal of the user's neck. The flexible fabric can be integrated with the pillow, can be a pillowcase type, can be a pasteable type, and can be disposable or reusable. The pillow can be a traditional pillow or a pillow core, or a sofa armrest, a cushion, a mattress, or other support bodies that support the user to sleep. The user can lay the flexible fabric containing the flexible piezoelectric sensor array on the mattress, sofa armrest, cushion, etc., and then sleep on it. The carrier of the flexible piezoelectric sensor array and the form of the pillow are not limited in the present application.
[0085] Referring to Figure 3 When the flexible fabric is used as the carrier of the flexible piezoelectric sensor array, the piezoelectric sensor array can be distributed in a matrix, in a strip, staggered, or in a certain pattern, which is not limited in the present application.
[0086] By reasonable filtering and denoising of the vibration signal, invalid interference vibration signals can be removed from the vibration signal, and high-frequency vibration signals related to snoring and breathing vibration signals can be separated.
[0087] Referring to Figure 4 In Figure 4 , the four waveforms from top to bottom are the original vibration waveform signal collected by the piezoelectric sensor array, the breathing vibration waveform signal, the cardiac pulsation waveform signal (Ballistocardiogram, BCG), and the snoring waveform signal (high-frequency vibration signal related to snoring) separated and extracted.
[0088] S120, analyzing the breathing state of the user according to the target vibration signal to obtain a breathing state analysis result;
[0089] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the target vibration signal includes high-frequency vibration signals related to snoring and breathing vibration signals, and the breathing state analysis result includes snoring state analysis result and sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis result. The analysis result can be used as a basis for determining whether to intervene in the user's snoring behavior or abnormal breathing state and how to intervene in the subsequent steps.
[0090] In some alternative embodiments, analyzing the breathing state of the user according to the target vibration signal to obtain a breathing state analysis result includes:
[0091] S121, performing time domain analysis and / or frequency domain analysis on the high-frequency vibration signal related to snoring to obtain a snoring state analysis result;
[0092] S122, analyze the respiratory vibration signal to obtain sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis results.
[0093] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the snoring state analysis results include the number of snoring, snoring time and snoring duration of the user, and the sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis results include the duration of sleep apnea hypopnea and the number of sleep apnea hypopnea in a preset time window.
[0094] For the snoring signal, the number, time and duration of snoring can be determined by a time domain analysis method, considering the energy and amplitude enhancement caused by snoring, establishing a dynamic threshold standard. The number, time and duration of snoring can also be determined by a frequency domain analysis method, considering the energy fluctuation of different frequency bands caused by snoring. The vibration signal can be one-to-one corresponding to the user sleeping on the pillow, avoiding the problem that the sound sensor may collect other user interference, and can accurately analyze the snoring state of the user as the basis for adaptive and fine intervention of the user's snoring behavior in the subsequent steps.
[0095] For the respiratory vibration signal, the presence of sleep apnea hypopnea events and the duration of the implementation can be determined according to the waveform of the respiratory vibration signal.
[0096] After obtaining the snoring state analysis results and the respiratory state analysis results by the above processing, the respiratory state of the user can be analyzed based on any one or both of the analysis results, which provides a basis for the decision of the remaining steps. For example, when snoring or sleep apnea hypopnea events are detected, the vibration intensity, duration, number of snoring in a time window, sleep apnea hypopnea duration, number of sleep apnea hypopnea in a time window and other factors can be used to provide a basis for the decision of whether to perform an intervention operation and the intervention intensity in the subsequent steps.
[0097] S130, determining whether the intervention condition is met according to the respiratory state analysis results;
[0098] Specifically, the respiratory state analysis results can show whether the user is in a wakeful state, the duration of falling asleep, the stage of sleep, and whether there are snoring, sleep apnea and other respiratory events that need to be intervened. According to these analysis results, it can be determined whether the respiratory state of the user needs to be intervened.
[0099] In some alternative embodiments, determining whether the intervention condition is met according to the respiratory state analysis results includes:
[0100] S131, determining a respiratory abnormality severity index according to the respiratory state analysis results, and determining whether there is a respiratory abnormality related event;
[0101] S132, determining whether the respiratory abnormality severity index exceeds a preset first threshold value;
[0102] S133, when the respiratory abnormality severity index exceeds the first threshold value or the respiratory abnormality related event exists, determining that the intervention condition is met;
[0103] The respiratory abnormality severity index includes a snoring severity index and / or a sleep apnea hypopnea severity index.
[0104] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 The flow of determining whether intervention is needed for the user's respiratory state in this embodiment is as follows:
[0105] According to the vibration intensity, duration, number of snoring sounds in a time window, sleep apnea hypopnea duration, number of sleep apnea hypopneas in a time window and other state information of the user's snoring sound indicated by the snoring sound state analysis result and the sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis result, a severity rule mapping is established to generate a respiratory abnormality severity index, so as to generate different intervention levels. The respiratory abnormality severity index can be a snoring severity index generated according to the vibration intensity, duration, number of snoring sounds in a time window; or a sleep apnea hypopnea severity index generated according to the sleep apnea hypopnea duration, number of sleep apnea hypopneas in a time window, and number of respiratory effort related arousals; or a comprehensive evaluation severity index of the snoring severity index and the sleep apnea hypopnea severity index. The respiratory abnormality severity index can be a level, such as normal, mild, moderate, and severe; or a continuous index, such as 0-100, and the higher the score, the higher the severity. When the severity rule reaches the first threshold value of intervention, it is determined that the intervention condition is met. The first threshold value can be manually adjusted by the user or can be defined by the algorithm in the default mode.
[0106] For example, the respiratory abnormality severity index in Tw time (Tw is the window sliding time, for example, 2 minutes) can be used to determine whether the respiratory abnormality severity index exceeds the preset threshold value, and the severity level is also determined.
[0107] In addition to determining whether the intervention condition is met according to the respiratory abnormality severity index, it can also be determined whether a respiratory abnormality related event exists through a pre-established event analysis rule. When the respiratory abnormality related event exists, it is determined that the user's respiratory state needs to be intervened.
[0108] For example, the rule for determining whether a respiratory abnormality related event exists can be specifically set as:
[0109] 1) ≥ N1 times of obstructive sleep apnea (N1 is the number of obstructive sleep apnea, for example, 2), or
[0110] 2) ≥ N2 times of hypopnea (N2 is a hypopnea frequency threshold, for example, 3), or
[0111] 3) ≥ N3 times of respiratory effort-related arousal (N3 is a respiratory effort-related arousal frequency threshold, for example, 5), or
[0112] 4) ≥ Ts time of loud snoring (Ts is a snoring duration, for example, 3 minutes, and loud snoring can be defined according to actual scene and actual user condition, which can be a decibel value, can be a vibration amplitude value, can be a vibration integral area value, etc.).
[0113] When one of the above conditions is met, it is considered that a respiratory abnormality related event exists, and intervention on the user's respiratory state is needed.
[0114] S140, when the intervention condition is met, the respiratory state of the user is intervened according to the respiratory state analysis result and the preset adaptive intervention rule;
[0115] Among them, the target vibration signal includes a high-frequency vibration signal related to snoring and / or a respiratory vibration signal, and the respiratory state analysis result includes a snoring state analysis result and / or a sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis result.
[0116] Specifically, in this embodiment, according to the snoring state analysis result and the sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis result, it can be judged whether the current respiratory state of the user needs to be intervened, and how to determine the intensity of the intervention to balance the intervention effect and the sleep quality of the user.
[0117] Exemplarily, the adaptive intervention rule in this application can flexibly adjust the intervention intensity, and adjust the intervention intensity at any time according to the severity of the abnormal respiratory state of the user, so that the user can obtain a more smooth and smooth intervention experience, and avoid "overcorrection". When the severity of the abnormal respiratory state of the user is lighter, such as shallow snoring and shorter snoring time, light intervention can obtain very good intervention effect. When the snoring is very serious, the intervention gear will be strengthened, and even micro-arousal can be induced. Although the user himself does not remember or unconsciously micro-arousal, but still stops snoring and adjusts to continue sleeping. This induction can be adjusted according to the sleep stage of the user, and it is tried to induce from shallow sleep to micro-arousal, and gradually induce to shallow sleep and then naturally transition to micro-arousal.
[0118] In some alternative embodiments, the intervention on the respiratory state of the user according to the respiratory state analysis result and the preset adaptive intervention rule comprises:
[0119] S141, the intervention gear is regulated according to the respiratory state analysis result and the preset adaptive intervention rule;
[0120] S142, intervene in the user's breathing state according to the intervention gear control intervention module.
[0121] Specifically, in the present embodiment, flexible adaptive intervention is achieved by designing intervention gear control rules. For example, a severity rule is established, a snoring severity index is generated according to the vibration strength, duration, number of snoring in the time window, sleep apnea hypopnea duration, and number of sleep apnea hypopnea in the time window in the snoring state analysis result, and different intervention gears are generated according to the snoring severity index. The intervention gear is adjusted in real time according to the breathing state analysis result, and the breathing state analysis result is updated in real time according to the effective vibration signal detected by the piezoelectric sensor array, thereby realizing real-time updating of the judgment result of whether to intervene and the intervention gear and other information.
[0122] The adaptive intervention rule based on the intervention gear design provided in the present embodiment can be used in various snoring suppression schemes. The intervention gear directly corresponds to the intervention intensity of the intervention module. The intervention module can be realized by a gas bag type intervention method, other neck lifting intervention methods, or a stimulation electrode intervention method. Different intervention gears can correspond to different working states such as the adjustment amplitude of the gas bag, the height of the neck lifting, and the stimulation intensity of the stimulation electrode. For example, the gas bag type snoring stop can be used. A plurality of gas bags are arranged inside the snoring stop pillow. When snoring is detected, the gas pressure of different regions of the pillow is adjusted by adjusting the gas bags, so as to adjust the sleep position of the user's head to relieve the snoring symptoms, or the whole mattress is linked to adjust the whole sleep position of the user to relieve the snoring symptoms.
[0123] In some alternative embodiments, the intervention gear is controlled according to the breathing state analysis result and the preset adaptive intervention rule, comprising:
[0124] S143, set the intervention gear to a preset initial gear;
[0125] S144, determine whether the intervention gear upshift condition and the intervention gear downshift condition are met according to the breathing state analysis result;
[0126] S145, when the intervention gear upshift condition is met and the intervention gear is not in the preset highest gear, the gear of the intervention gear is increased;
[0127] S146, when the intervention gear downshift condition is met and the intervention gear is not in the lowest gear, the gear of the intervention gear is decreased;
[0128] S147, when the intervention gear downshift condition is met and the intervention gear is in the lowest gear, the intervention gear is set to a stop intervention gear.
[0129] Specifically, in the present embodiment, after it is determined according to the foregoing steps that intervention on the breathing state of the user is needed (i.e., after the intervention conditions such as non-wake state, sleep duration greater than a threshold, presence of a breathing abnormality related event, etc. are met), intervention on the user can be performed. The intervention gear can be set to an initial gear as the basis for the working state of the intervention module, and the initial gear can be represented as gear 0. The initial gear can be determined by system default setting, user self-definition, and according to the foregoing breathing abnormality index mapping, etc. After the intervention is started, the maintenance time of the current breathing state of the user needs to be determined in real time to increase or decrease the intervention gear or stop, so as to make the user obtain a smoother and smoother intervention experience.
[0130] For example, the adaptive intervention rule designed in combination with whether the user is awake, sleep duration, intervention gear and intervention conditions is as follows: Figure 7 Figure 7 As shown in the table, the adaptive intervention rule can be specifically set as:
[0131] 1) ≥ N1 times of obstructive sleep apnea (N1 is the number of times of obstructive sleep apnea, for example, 2), or
[0132] 2) ≥ N2 times of hypopnea (N2 is the number of times of hypopnea, for example, 3), or
[0133] 3) ≥ N3 times of respiratory effort related arousal (N3 is the number of times of respiratory effort related arousal, for example, 5), or
[0134] 4) ≥ Ts time of large amplitude snoring (Ts is the duration of snoring, for example, 3 minutes, and large amplitude snoring can be defined according to the actual scene and actual user situation, which can be a decibel value, can be a vibration amplitude value, can be a vibration integral area value, etc.).
[0135] Based on the above respiratory related events, when any of the above events is met, intervention 0 is performed, 0 represents the initial gear set; wake up or maintain Tn time (Tn is the normal maintenance time, for example 10 minutes) without related respiratory events, which is considered not to meet the intervention condition and no intervention is performed; if T1 time (T1 is the maintenance time after resetting the intervention gear, for example 5 minutes) is still met, it is considered that the gear up condition is met, and the intervention gear is up one gear, until the preset maximum gear is reached, which can be the system default maximum gear or the user's self-defined maximum tolerance gear, for example, assuming that the maximum supported by the system is n, the user can set the self-defined maximum tolerance gear to n according to his own tolerance, or a relatively low gear m or lower; when there is no related respiratory event for Tn time and the current intervention gear is not the lowest gear, the intervention gear is down one gear, and if the lowest gear is reached, the intervention is stopped; if the user wakes up (not micro-awakening, the user is aware of his own wakefulness), the intervention is also stopped.
[0136] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 7 T0=5 minutes, T1=5 minutes, Ts=3 minutes, Tn=10 minutes, N1=2 times, N2=3 times, N3=5 times. Without loss of generality, the related parameter definitions can be adjusted according to the actual scene and actual user situation. No further description is given.
[0137] Exemplarily, when the intervention module is a gas bag type intervention mode or other neck lifting intervention mode, the working mode of the intervention module based on the adaptive intervention rule is specifically: when it is judged that the intervention condition is met, the neck can be first slightly inflated or lifted (equivalent to 0 gear), and if the user wakes up (not micro-awakening, the user is aware of his own wakefulness), the intervention is also stopped. If the intervention condition is continued to be met (i.e., the duration of the presence of the respiratory abnormality related event is greater than the threshold), the neck is inflated or lifted (equivalent to the intervention gear being raised by one gear), until the self-defined maximum inflation amount or lifting amount (equivalent to the self-defined maximum intervention gear) is reached. If there is no related respiratory event for 10 minutes, the neck is deflated or lowered (equivalent to the intervention gear being lowered), until the intervention is stopped. During the process, if the user wakes up (not micro-awakening, the user is aware of his own wakefulness), the intervention is also stopped. In this way, the user can adapt to a better head position or body position while the snoring intervention is performed, and a better experience and improved sleep quality can be obtained.
[0138] In some alternative embodiments, the intervention module includes a stimulation electrode array, and the intervention module controls the intervention on the user's respiratory state according to the intervention gear, including:
[0139] S148, stimulating the user's neck by generating a micro-current through the stimulation electrode array;
[0140] S149, controlling the stimulation intensity of the stimulation electrode array according to the intervention gear;
[0141] The stimulation intensity of the stimulation electrode array is controlled, including controlling at least one of the current intensity, the discharge electrode density, and the discharge electrode quantity of the stimulation electrode array.
[0142] Specifically, the airbag snore stop or other snore stop mode of lifting the user's neck in the prior art changes the user's sleep position, which may cause the user to be in an uncomfortable sleep position, and even may cause the user's cervical spine, spine, or the like to be in an unreasonable stress state, affecting the user's sleep quality.
[0143] To achieve the effect of not affecting the user's sleep position during intervention and guarantee the user's sleep quality, the stimulation electrode is selected as the snore stop module in the embodiment. The stimulation electrode array generates a micro-current stimulation to enhance the stimulation of the user's neck muscle group and nerves, radiates to pull the pharyngeal airway tail side and contract the sternothyroid muscle to stabilize the upper airway, thereby improving the abnormal breathing state such as snoring, sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, and the like.
[0144] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 , the stimulation electrode array can be embedded in a flexible fabric and covered on the pillow for the user to sleep to generate a micro-current stimulation to the user's neck. The flexible fabric can be integrated with the pillow, can be a pillowcase type, can be a pasteable type, or can be disposable or repeatable. The pillow can be a traditional pillow or a pillow core, or can be a sofa armrest, a cushion, a mattress, or the like supporting body for the user to sleep. The user can lay the flexible fabric containing the stimulation electrode array on the mattress, sofa armrest, cushion, or the like, and then sleep on it. The carrier of the stimulation electrode array and the form of the pillow are not limited in the present application.
[0145] Referring to Figure 3 , when the flexible fabric is used as the carrier of the stimulation electrode array, the stimulation electrode array can be distributed in a matrix, in a strip, in an interlaced manner, in a point, or in a certain pattern, which is not limited in the present application.
[0146] Exemplarily, the stimulation intensity of the stimulation electrode array can be obtained by mapping the current intervention gear. The specific stimulation intensity can be determined by the current intensity, the discharge electrode density, and the discharge electrode quantity, and the like.
[0147] It can be recognized that the embodiment generates a micro-current stimulation by the stimulation electrode array to achieve the inhibition of the user's snoring behavior, and good snore stop effect can be obtained without changing the user's sleep position, which helps to guarantee the user's sleep quality.
[0148] In some alternative embodiments, the snoring stopping method further comprises:
[0149] S150, acquiring the electromyography signal of the neck muscle group of the user through the electromyography electrode array;
[0150] S151, judging the relaxation degree of the neck muscle group of the user according to the electromyography signal;
[0151] S152, adjusting the intervention region of the intervention on the breathing state of the user according to the relaxation degree;
[0152] In some alternative embodiments, the snoring stopping method further comprises:
[0153] S153, evaluating the intervention effect of the intervention on the breathing state of the user through the electromyography signal and / or the analysis result of the breathing state.
[0154] Specifically, the embodiment can also acquire the electromyography signal of the neck muscle group of the user through the electromyography electrode array. Referring to Figure 2 , the electromyography electrode array can be embedded in a flexible fabric and covered on the pillow for the user to sleep to acquire the electromyography signal of the neck muscle group of the user. The flexible fabric can be integrated with the pillow, can be in the form of a pillowcase, can be in the form of a pasteable fabric, and can be disposable or reusable. The pillow can be a traditional pillow or a pillow core, or can be a sofa armrest, a cushion, a mattress or other support body supporting the user to sleep. The user can lay the flexible fabric containing the electromyography electrode array on the mattress, sofa armrest, cushion or other position, and then sleep on it. The application does not make specific limitations on the carrier of the electromyography electrode array and the form of the pillow.
[0155] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 8 , when the flexible fabric is used as the carrier of the electromyography electrode array, the original vibration signal is acquired through the flexible piezoelectric sensor array, and the stimulation electrode array is selected as the intervention module, and the three are uniformly distributed in a matrix form, the distribution of the three in the flexible fabric can be as shown in Figure 8 , the electromyography electrode array can be arranged around the stimulation electrode, and the two kinds of electrodes can be distributed cooperatively or staggeredly, and the relative position can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the scene. When the user's neck is placed on the flexible fabric, the electromyography electrode can acquire the electromyography signal of the muscle group.
[0156] In addition, in S153 of some embodiments, the effect of the intervention can be evaluated according to the changes in the electromyographic signals and the user's breathing state analysis results before and after the intervention, combined with the changes in the electrical and mechanical properties thereof, to provide a reference for the optimization and improvement of the snore intervention program. According to the electromyographic signals, the electrical and mechanical properties of the corresponding muscle region can be analyzed to determine the degree of muscle relaxation in the corresponding region, so as to make fine adjustments to the specific intervention region and further improve the user experience. For example, when it is determined that the muscle relaxation degree of the left side of the user's neck is higher than a preset threshold, the stimulation on the left side intervention region can be increased, because the local muscle relaxation degree is related to the airway collapse, and the precise region electrode stimulation can be performed based thereon.
[0157] In some alternative embodiments, the target vibration signal further includes a heart beat vibration signal, the breathing state analysis result further includes a sleep state analysis result and a sleep stage analysis result, and the snore intervention method further includes:
[0158] S160, analyzing the breathing vibration signal and the heart beat vibration signal to obtain the sleep state analysis result and the sleep stage analysis result;
[0159] S161, analyzing the breathing vibration signal and the sleep state analysis result to obtain a sleep apnea hypopnea state analysis result;
[0160] S162, determining whether the user is in a wake state according to the sleep state analysis result;
[0161] S163, when the user is in a wake state, determining that the intervention condition is not met;
[0162] S164, determining whether the user belongs to a deep sleep state according to the sleep stage analysis result;
[0163] S165, when the user is in a deep sleep state, limiting the intervention intensity of the intervention on the user's breathing state.
[0164] Specifically, the target vibration signal can further include a heart beat vibration signal. Referring to Figure 4 In Figure 4 , the third signal from top to bottom is the separated and extracted heart beat waveform signal, i.e., the ballistocardiogram BCG.
[0165] For the breathing vibration signal and the heart beat vibration signal, the heart-lung coupling mechanism can be used to analyze the two signals, and information such as heart rate, breathing frequency, sleep state and sleep stage can be obtained.
[0166] Since snoring needs to be intervened only after falling asleep, the sleep state and sleep stage information of the user can be used to identify whether the user is in a wakeful state, as a basis for determining whether to intervene in the user's breathing state in the subsequent judgment step.
[0167] For the respiratory vibration signal and the heart beat vibration signal, the heart-lung coupling mechanism can be used to analyze both, and information such as heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep state and sleep stage can be obtained. The heart-lung coupling mechanism reveals the complex coupling relationship between sleep behavior and autonomic nervous system regulation of cardiopulmonary activity, and is used to evaluate the close relationship between the heart and the respiratory system. Through heart-lung coupling analysis technology, important information about sleep and cardiopulmonary function can be obtained. The basic principle is based on the physiological coupling relationship between the heart and the respiratory system. The two will adjust each other to maintain the balance between oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal in the human body, and this coupling relationship is particularly evident during sleep. By monitoring and analyzing the heart beat vibration signal and the respiratory vibration signal during sleep in real time, the coupling index of the heart and the respiratory system can be obtained. This index reflects the degree of interaction between the heart and the respiratory system, which can help doctors evaluate the patient's sleep (sleep state, sleep stage, sleep quality, etc.) and cardiopulmonary function (heart rate, respiratory rate, etc.). Of course, under the influence of the heart-lung coupling mechanism, one or more of the parameters such as heart rate, heart rate variability in time or frequency domain, respiratory rate, respiratory amplitude, body movement, etc. can be used to evaluate sleep state and sleep stage. These parameters have a certain degree of correlation with sleep stage, such as a slow decrease in heart rate and respiratory rate at sleep onset, an increase in heart rate during REM, a change in heart rate variability with sleep stage, and a decrease in body activity with sleep depth. In essence, they are all variants of heart-lung coupling technology applications. Of course, it is not limited to mechanism, but through feature engineering to extract many features, and then train a machine learning or deep learning model through massive data, and then use the trained model to evaluate sleep state and sleep stage in real time.
[0168] At the same time, with reference to Figure 5 By analyzing the respiratory waveform and heart rate synchronously, multiple obstructive sleep apnea events can be identified, and more accurate results of sleep apnea hypopnea events can be obtained. When a sleep apnea event occurs, the heart rate will gradually increase due to insufficient oxygen supply, so the latter half of the event is usually accompanied by an increase in heart rate, even a rapid increase of more than 10 BPM. By combining the analysis results with the snoring analysis results, the severity of the user's snoring can be more accurately evaluated.
[0169] Since snore stopping only needs to intervene after falling asleep, the sleep state and sleep stage information of the user can be used to identify whether the user is in a wakeful state, as a basis for subsequent judgment steps to determine whether to intervene in the user's breathing state and whether to limit the intervention intensity. According to the information such as the sleep state and sleep stage of the user prompted in the user sleep state analysis result or sleep stage analysis result, it can be preliminarily judged whether the user is in a sleep state, how long the user has been asleep, and which of the sleep stages such as light sleep, deep sleep or micro wakefulness. When the user is identified to be in a wakeful state or the sleep time is too short, even if a suspected snoring signal (such as talking) is detected, snore stopping intervention will not be performed, and when the user is identified to be in a deep sleep state, in order to prevent the intervention intensity from being too large to wake up the user and affect the user's sleep quality, the intervention intensity needs to be limited, such as relaxing the stimulation intensity, first inducing to light sleep, and then transitioning to micro wakefulness to ensure the smoothness of the intervention experience.
