Based on deep learning and big data analysis, the algorithm can quickly and accurately analyze and process the large amounts of respiratory data collected by sensors. Through in-depth mining of data such as respiratory frequency, intensity, and volume, functions such as respiratory health monitoring are achieved. For example, in respiratory health monitoring, the algorithm can promptly detect abnormal breathing conditions and provide corresponding early warnings through trend analysis of respiratory data; in respiratory training, the algorithm dynamically adjusts the training difficulty and guidance suggestions based on the user's real-time respiratory data to ensure the scientific nature and effectiveness of the training.
[0034] This application utilizes intelligent algorithms to enable the system to perform in-depth analysis of key indicators such as the frequency, intensity, and volume of respiratory signals, ensuring the accuracy of command generation.

[0040] In some embodiments, the breathing signal denoising unit is used to remove ambient humidity and other interference; the capacitor-to-digital converter chip is used to convert changes in capacitance into digital signals; and the Bluetooth transmitter chip is used to transmit digital signals to a computer terminal.
[0041] In some embodiments, the instruction generation module employs intelligent algorithms to classify and extract features from respiratory signals and identify different breathing patterns; the instruction generation module supports user-defined correspondence between breathing patterns and instructions, and can generate corresponding control instructions according to different application scenarios.
[0042] In some embodiments, the intelligent algorithm includes deep learning and support vector machines; different breathing modes include deep breathing, shallow breathing, fast breathing, and slow breathing; the control commands include switching devices on and off, breathing training, and breathing control mini-games.
[0043] The wearable human-computer interaction system based on respiratory signals provided in this application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0044] This system includes the following components: wearable respiratory detection devices, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes an integrated high-sensitivity humidity sensor made of silk, supports Bluetooth 5.0 communication, and supports multiple wearing methods; breathing training software (Breathing Competition), which runs on the Windows platform and supports breathing waveform analysis and real-time feedback; and a "Jump Jump" game module, developed based on the Unity engine, which supports breathing signals to control character movements and dynamically adjusts the game difficulty.
[0045] This product is designed with user experience in mind. It is compact, lightweight, and comfortable to wear, without adding any extra burden. Adopting an ergonomic design, it offers multiple wearing options to suit user preferences and usage scenarios, ensuring comfort even during extended wear. Whether sleeping, exercising, or engaging in daily activities, users can wear it easily without disrupting their normal lives.
[0046] Respiratory Health Monitoring Example: "Cloud-based Nasal Breathing" can monitor key indicators such as breathing intensity, frequency, and volume in real time and with top-tier accuracy and precision in the market. Whether during daily activities, sleep, or exercise, it continuously and stably tracks and monitors nasal and oral breathing, providing users with comprehensive respiratory health data. Through this data, users can promptly understand their respiratory health status and identify potential respiratory problems, such as abnormal breathing rate or changes in breathing intensity, providing a basis for early disease detection and prevention.
[0047] Feedback-based breathing training example: Based on the user's breathing data and individual needs, a personalized breathing training plan is customized for the user. Through a real-time feedback mechanism, guidance and suggestions are provided to the user during training to help adjust breathing rhythm and depth, ensuring maximum training effectiveness. For example, for users with weak respiratory function, the system will gradually guide them to increase breathing depth and frequency, improving respiratory muscle strength and endurance. In specific operation, the user turns on the breathing detection device, and the device enters standby mode. The user then opens computer settings - Bluetooth - Add Bluetooth or other devices, finds the breathing detection device, and connects to it, ensuring communication and data transmission between the device and the computer. The user wears the breathing detection device, ensuring the sensor is near the mouth and nose for accurate breathing signal acquisition.
[0048] Open the "Breathing Challenge" software on your computer and select the COM port corresponding to the breathing detection device in the "Power Transmission Channel".
[0049] The user clicks the "Breathing Training - Start" button on the software interface, and the device begins collecting breathing signals. The breathing waveform is displayed on the software interface in real time. When the user exhales, the "breathing amplitude" decreases, and when they inhale, the "breathing amplitude" increases. As the user breathes normally, the breathing waveform updates in real time according to changes in breathing frequency, intensity, and volume. The user can also input their breathing waveform through the software, and the system provides training feedback based on the waveform.
[0050] After the breathing training begins, the user clicks the "Breathing Training - End" button on the software interface. The system automatically analyzes the user's breathing waveform data to determine if the breathing rate, intensity, and volume are within the normal range. It then compares the user's breathing waveform data with standard breathing waveform data, generating a score between 0 and 100. A higher score indicates a healthier breathing pattern. The breathing humidity curve in the breathing competition program is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.
[0051] Example of an interactive breathing training game: As a key feature of this application, the breathing training mini-game transforms the tedious breathing training into a fun and interactive experience. Users can choose different training scenarios according to their needs. During the game, the user's breathing directly controls the game character's actions, making the training process fun and challenging. Simultaneously, the game difficulty is dynamically adjusted based on the user's breathing data, maintaining a moderate level of challenge and increasing user engagement and adherence.
[0052] Example of using the "Jump Jump" game: The user turns on the respiratory detection device, which then enters standby mode. The user opens computer settings - Bluetooth - Add Bluetooth or other devices, locates the respiratory detection device, and connects to it, ensuring communication and data transmission between the device and the computer. The user wears the respiratory detection device, ensuring the sensor is near the mouth and nose for accurate respiratory signal collection.
[0053] Once the connection is established, the user opens the "Jump Jump" game software, clicks the "Start Game" button on the game interface, and the game enters the preparation state.
[0054] Users control the game character's movements through rhythmic breathing. When the sensor detects continuous exhalation, the game character begins to accumulate power, with the power bar on the left side of the screen gradually increasing from zero. Upon inhalation, the game character jumps at varying distances depending on the amount of power accumulated. This breathing training exercise is similar to the "Jump Jump" mini-game. Figure 5 As shown.
[0055] Users can control the timing and force of their character's jumps by adjusting their breathing frequency and intensity, based on the distance to the next platform in the game scene, in order to complete the game task. If the character successfully jumps to the next platform, the game will generate a new platform for the user to control the jump with their breathing. If the character fails to jump to the platform, the game will display "Game Over," at which point the user can choose to restart the game or quit the game.
[0056] Although the features and elements of this system are described above in a specific combination, those skilled in the art will understand that each feature or element can be used alone or in any combination with other features and elements.
[0057] The design concept of this application starts from the theme style of mini-games and the magical and futuristic visual elements. Through the strong contrast of black and red tones and the use of technological textures, it gives the components a mysterious and futuristic visual effect.

[0078] In the area of training athletes' breathing capacity, the system provides guidance on high-intensity breathing patterns (such as rapid deep breathing and intermittent breathing). By monitoring athletes' breathing rate and depth in real time, the system optimizes training plans to help athletes improve their lung capacity and respiratory control.

The instruction generation module extracts respiratory signal feature values from the digital signal output by the signal processing module using the feature extraction unit, identifies different respiratory patterns using the respiratory pattern recognition unit, and compiles an instruction set based on the respiratory signal feature values using the control instruction generation unit, which then sends the instruction set to the application software.
[0080] This application provides a wearable human-computer interaction system, method, and application based on respiratory signals. It employs a high-sensitivity silk humidity sensor, whose capacitance changes according to variations in ambient humidity. When a user breathes, the humidity of the airflow near the mouth and nose changes, and the sensor detects these minute humidity changes to capture respiratory signals in real time. The system uses a dual-channel design to capture respiratory signals from both the mouth and nose. Through differential data processing, the system can generate a richer set of instructions, enhancing the flexibility and diversity of interaction. The dual-channel design not only enhances the system's sensitivity but also provides users with more interactive possibilities, such as enabling complex control commands through coordinated mouth and nose breathing. This wearable human-computer interaction system based on respiratory signals is applied to respiratory health monitoring, feedback-based respiratory training, and interactive respiratory training games, aiming to build a comprehensive and personalized respiratory health management system for users. The product relies on a self-developed high-sensitivity humidity sensor, combined with advanced wireless communication and intelligent algorithm technology, to achieve accurate and long-term monitoring of respiratory status and transform the monitoring data into intuitive and easy-to-understand visual information, laying a solid data foundation for users' respiratory health management. Meanwhile, the innovatively developed breathing training mini-games guide users to conduct scientific breathing training through a fun and interactive training mode, effectively improving the function of respiratory muscles and helping users establish a healthy breathing pattern.
