The following description will further explain the technical solutions of the present invention with reference to the specific embodiments of the drawings.
Fig. 1a and 1b are schematic structural diagrams of an airbag pillow according to an embodiment of the present application, and the specific structure of the airbag pillow according to fig. 1a and 1b includes an airbag pillow body 10 having an airbag pillow skin surface 101, the skin surface is an arc shape following an ergonomic human neck curve, and the material used for the airbag pillow body 10 may be medium-hardness memory cotton.
The airbag pillow body 10 may have a first airbag 21, and a second airbag 22 therein as shown in fig. 1a and 1 b. The first airbag 21 and the second airbag 22 are two elongated airbags extending along the length direction L of the airbag pillow body, wherein the first airbag 21 is generally disposed at the middle of the airbag pillow body 10 in the height direction H and corresponds to the head of the user when in use, and the second airbag 22 is generally disposed at the lower portion of the airbag pillow body 10 in the height direction H and corresponds to the neck of the user when in use. The two air bags may be inflated/deflated by a control unit 23 operatively connected to the first air bag 21 and the second air bag to adjust the height of the position of the air bag pillow corresponding to the neck and/or head of the user accordingly. The control unit 23 may include an air pump unit connected to the first and second air cells through valves, and an air pump unit controller. In other embodiments, the control unit 23 may be located outside the airbag pillow and communicate with the first and second airbags only through gas pipes and gas release pipes.
The control unit 23 may be controlled to perform the inflation/deflation operation of the first and/or second air cells to effect the intervention of the detected snoring of the user using the control procedure described below.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a snoring intervention process based on an adaptive airbag pillow according to an embodiment of the present application, which specifically includes the following steps:
step S201, snore detection, namely acquiring audio data through a sensor, carrying out slice subsection snore detection, judging whether snore exists in an audio slice, measuring and calculating the volume of the snore when the snore exists, and storing the existence of the snore, the volume of the snore and the like serving as the snore audio data into a sleep parameter database;
step S202, receiving a snore detection result, and judging whether the user has snore during sleeping;

in step S204, it is determined whether the sleep is finished, for example, by determining that the pressure acting on the airbag pillow is gradually disappeared by the pressure sensor unit, and if it is determined that the sleep is finished, a sleep-finished event may be generated. If not, no sleep end event is generated, the steps S201, S202 and S203 are continuously repeated, snore intervention is continuously carried out, and if the sleep end event is ended, the step S205 is executed;
step S205, if the user is judged to be sleeping finished, analyzing the sleeping state, and setting the air bag adjusting state parameter with the minimum snore volume or the snore stopping state as the optimal adjusting parameter of the sleeping;
step S206, storing the sleep data generated in the sleep cycle including the optimal adjustment parameters into a database.
The steps of the above-described method and/or software functions are described in detail below.
In this embodiment, a specific flow of step S201 snore detection is shown in the flow chart of fig. 3,
in step S301, the audio sensor collects audio data with a sampling frequency of 16KHZ, and the collection process continues from the beginning of a sleep cycle until the end of the sleep cycle. The audio sensor may be disposed on the airbag pillow or may be disposed on an electric bed operatively connected, e.g., communicatively connected, to the airbag pillow. The signal of the start of the sleep cycle can be obtained by, for example, detecting by means of a pressure sensor, for example, provided on the airbag pillow, and the start of the sleep cycle can be determined, for example, when a stable pressure for a certain period of time is detected by means of the pressure sensor. The end of the sleep cycle may be detected by the pressure sensor, for example, and when a stable pressure cannot be detected by the pressure sensor for a certain period of time, it may be determined that the sleep cycle is ended.
In step S302, the acquired audio data is sliced, in this embodiment, audio slicing is performed in a 3-second sliding window manner with a length of 6 seconds as a unit, and audio slicing is performed until the sleep is finished, audio acquisition is no longer performed, or a new 6-second audio is not intercepted.
In step S303, it is determined whether the 6-second audio slice in S302 contains sound, that is, silence detection is performed. By calculating the maximum energy value, the minimum energy value and the standard deviation of the energy value of the sampling value in the audio slice, and comparing the three values with the preset mute threshold, if the mute condition is met, the current audio slice is considered to contain no sound, the audio slice does not perform the subsequent snore detecting steps S304, S305 and S306, and the audio slice is judged to be snore-free and is directly stored in the judgment queue with the fixed duration of 120 seconds in the step S307.
For the audio slice including sound detected in step S303, subsequent snore detection is performed, and steps are S304, S305, and S306.
Specifically, step S304, the audio slice including the sound is standardized, and the energy range of the audio is limited between negative 1 and positive 1, which is beneficial to the fitting of the subsequent snore detection algorithm; then, the audio slice data is framed, in this embodiment, the length of each frame is 25ms, the frame is shifted by 10ms, the frame is divided into 598 frames, then, 64-dimensional MFCC (mel frequency cepstrum coefficient) features are extracted for each frame of audio, the audio can be processed into 598 x 64-dimensional arrays every 6 seconds, the arrays are transformed into 3-dimensional image data dimensions 96 x 64 x 6 and input into the neural network, and the step S305 is entered, and the features of the convolutional neural network are extracted.
The convolutional neural network is a neural network structure which is dominant in the field of computer vision image processing, has the characteristics of translation invariance and local parameter sharing, and is very suitable for extracting some abstract depth features in class image data. Step S305 receives the MFCC (mel frequency cepstrum coefficient) spectrum feature input convolution neural network in step S304, and outputs 128-dimensional feature. The 128-dimensional features are then input to the fully connected layer for final classification, i.e., step S306.
Step S307, storing the audio slice result obtained by the classification in the above step into a queue with a fixed duration of, for example, 120 seconds.
Step 308, judging whether the number of the audio slices judged to be snore in the judgment queue exceeds a certain number threshold, if not, judging that no snore exists, and if so, not generating snore audio data; if yes, determining that there is snore, and if yes, generating snore audio data, wherein the snore audio data may include the volume of the snore, and the volume obtaining method may be: and calculating and judging that each section of the snore audio frequency contains the maximum sound size of the snore audio frequency slice, and then calculating the average value of the maximum sound size as the volume size of the snore detected at this time. By this step, the snoring detection of step S201 is completed.
In step 311, the snore audio data of step S309 may be stored in the sleep parameter database, where the snore audio data at least includes the volume of the snore. The snore audio data recorded in the sleep parameter database may be used in a subsequent procedure as a reference for the adjustment of the air bag pillow.
In this embodiment, the airbag cushion may be configured to receive the snore detection result of step S201 in step S202, including determining whether the received data is snore audio data, so as to determine whether the user has snore during sleep. If no snore exists, directly entering step S204 to judge whether the sleep is finished; if the snore exists, the step S203 is carried out, the self-adaptive adjustment of the first air bag and the second air bag is started, and the snore intervention of the air bag pillow on the user is realized.
In some embodiments, specifically, the step S203 of adaptive airbag adjustment may include the following steps:
step S2031, after receiving the snore data, checking the sleep parameter database, judging whether the snore is the first snore in the sleep cycle, if so, executing steps S2032, S2033 and S2034, and if not, executing steps S2035, S2036 and S2037.
Step S2032 continues to determine whether the airbag pillow is used for the first time, and if it is determined that the airbag pillow is used for the first time, step S2033 is executed to inflate the airbag to an initial snore-stopping state preset by the product according to the initial snore-stopping parameters, where the initial snore-stopping state may be a two-airbag air pressure state meeting a good snore intervention effect for most people, obtained according to ergonomics, big data analysis and product tests. If the product is not used for the first time, step S2034 is executed, in which the sleep parameter database is checked, and the air bag inflation/deflation is returned to the air bag pressure in the optimal state of the air bag pillow in the last sleep cycle stored in the database. Whether the product is used for the first time can be judged according to whether the optimal adjustment parameters of the air bag pillow are stored in the sleep parameter database.
The first and/or second balloons may be in a fully deflated state or a fully inflated state in the initial state. Or in some embodiments, before the air bag pillow is not used or snore intervenes, the air pressures in the two air bags are in a safe low-pressure state, for example, the air pressure value is 5KPa, and the first snore intervening air bag inflation and deflation in the second sleep can be effectively reduced while the comfortable sleep of a user is met.
When the detected snore is judged not to be the first snore of the sleep, the sleep parameter database is checked, last snore audio data stored in the sleep parameter database is used, step S2035 is executed, namely whether the volume of the snore is smaller than the volume in the last snore audio data or not is judged, if the volume is smaller, the snore intervention effect is good, step S2036 is executed, the air bag is adjusted in the mode of air bag inflation/deflation adjustment last time, namely, if the snore is the inflation operation last time, the inflation operation is also the current time, and if the snore is the deflation operation last time, the deflation operation is also the current time; if it is determined that the snore sound becomes loud, which indicates that the last snore intervention effect is not good, the snore improving effect is not achieved, and even the snore symptom is aggravated, step S2037 is executed, in which the air bag is adjusted in a manner opposite to the last air bag inflation/deflation, that is, if the last time is an inflation operation, the current time is a deflation operation, and if the last time is a deflation operation, the current time is an inflation operation.
Specifically, each time the air bag is inflated/deflated, the second air bag corresponding to the neck can be adjusted preferentially, and then the first air bag positioned at the head can be adjusted, and the single air bag adjustment mode is performed based on the S203 air bag adaptive adjustment. Normally, continuous inflation or deflation of the air bag is the case that the snoring symptom is effectively improved, but when the adjustment air bag cannot continuously improve the snoring symptom, the air bag is inflated at a time, and is deflated at a time, for example, when the inflation/deflation of the second air bag at the neck part is iterated for 3 times, where the 3 times of iteration are the last four times of adjustment of the air bag: inflating, deflating, inflating and deflating; or deflating, inflating, deflating and inflating, at the moment, the adjustment of the neck air bag is judged to be incapable of continuously improving the snoring symptom, the adjustment of the second air bag is stopped, and the adjustment of the first air bag corresponding to the head position is started. Similarly, when the first air bag at the head part is normally and continuously inflated or deflated to improve the snore symptom, the situation that inflation/deflation is iterated for 3 times also occurs, which also indicates that the adjustment of the first air bag at the head part cannot continuously improve the snore symptom, the adjustment of the first air bag is stopped, the second air bag is adjusted again, and so on, and the alternating self-adaptive adjustment of the two air bags is realized.
The airbag pillow may be configured such that adaptive adjustment of the airbag is temporarily stopped when the following two conditions occur during the above-described adjustment of the airbag: firstly, the snore symptom is stopped, namely after the snore audio data are continuously received and correspondingly adjusted, the snore audio data are not detected again in a preset detection period, the self-adaptive adjustment of the air bag is stopped, and the air bag maintains the air pressure state of the air bag which is finally adjusted until the snore is detected again and starts again; secondly, the snoring symptom can not be improved continuously, namely, the two air bags of the pillow continuously generate certain times of inflation/deflation iteration, for example, the condition of 3 times, namely, the latest 8 times of air bag adjustment do not have continuous inflation or deflation, and the inflation/deflation iteration is only the alternate iteration of inflation/deflation, at the moment, the self-adaptive adjustment is stopped after the air pressure of the two air bags of the pillow is adjusted to the air pressure state of the air bag of the previous time of adjustment, and the adjustment is restarted until snore sound audio data representing higher volume is detected.
It may be set such that the air pressure inside the air bag is changed at every inflation/deflation of the air bag in every adjustment period to a fixed value, for example, 0.5KPa, 0.4KPa, 0.3KPa, etc., or it may be set such that different air pressure change values are used in one adjustment period, for example, that snoring is improved at the first time when the air bag is inflated at 0.5KPa and snoring is not improved at the second time when the air bag is inflated at 0.5KPa, the next operation is to deflate 0.4KPa, and it is judged whether or not the volume of snoring is contributing to be reduced.
After each time of adaptive adjustment of the air bag, the step S204 is carried out to judge whether the sleep of the user is finished, if the sleep of the user is not finished, the steps S201, S202 and S203 are continuously repeated, and a new round of adaptive adjustment is started. The adaptive adjustment of the air bag is performed until the snore stops or the volume of the snore is reduced to the minimum, and the adaptive adjustment is performed after the snore is monitored again or the snore is increased, so that the step S203 is performed again to start the adaptive adjustment. Judging whether the sleep is finished or not may include judging the pressure of the head and neck of the human body against the airbag pillow through the pressure sensor to judge whether the human body has left the airbag pillow or not, and then judging whether the sleep is finished or not. In the embodiment that the airbag pillow is in communication connection with the electric bed, the method can further comprise the step of judging whether the sleep is finished or not by obtaining a signal provided by the electric bed and indicating whether the human body is on the electric bed or not.
After the user is judged to have finished sleeping in step S204, the method proceeds to step S205 to analyze the sleeping state in the sleeping period. The state of the adjusting air bag in the snore volume minimum state or the snore stop state can be determined as the optimal state of the sleep. And storing the optimal adjustment parameters corresponding to the optimal adjustment state of the sleep air bag in a sleep parameter database for calling the next sleep cycle.
Alternatively, after the sleep is determined to be finished in step S204, the airbag pillow may be restored to a safe low-pressure state in which the air pressure in the airbag is at when the airbag pillow is not in use.
After the sleep state is analyzed S205, step S206 is executed to store the sleep-related data in the sleep cycle into the database. The stored sleep-related data may include the number of snores, snore time period, snore time duration, snore maximum volume, adjustment cycle duration, sleep cycle length, and overall process airbag adjustment data, etc. The overall process air bag adjusting data can comprise adjusting times in each adjusting period, adjusting modes of each adjusting, specific air pressure parameters of each adjusting, air pressure parameters of the adjusted air bag, and corresponding snore volume change trends and magnitude values after adjusting.
It will be appreciated that in embodiments with two air cells, the adjustment of the first air cell for the corresponding head position may be initiated first in some cases, for example, if the air pressure of the second air cell is higher at the neck position of the pillow, approaching a critical air pressure maximum, then the adjustment of the first air cell for the head position is initiated preferentially.
It should be understood that, besides the 3 iterations of inflation and deflation, other iterations, such as 2, 4, 5, 6, etc., may be used as the triggering condition for the adjustment switching of the first and second air bags. The first and second airbags may be iterated continuously for 2, 4, 5, 6, etc. times as a trigger to end the adjustment.
It should be understood that the above-mentioned method for adjusting the air bag is not only applicable to an air bag pillow with two air bags, but also applicable to an air bag pillow with one, three or more air bags, and the main point of the method for adjusting is to determine the current adjustment mode, i.e. whether inflation or deflation is the ideal adjustment mode, by adaptively adjusting the air bag and detecting the volume of the adjusted snore audio through an audio sensor and comparing the detected volume with the volume of the snore audio stored in the last adjustment period, so that the system finds the most appropriate inflation pressure of each air bag by itself.
The difference with respect to the method described above with respect to the air bag pillow of an air bag is that it is not necessary to choose which air bag to activate first, and the criteria for ending the adjustment can be a preset number of iterations of successive inflation and deflation adjustments of that air bag. The operation steps of snore audio detection, adjustment operation, analysis, storage and the like are the same.
For the three-cell airbag pillow, the difference with respect to the above-described method is that it is not necessary to select which of the cells is to be activated first, and the criterion for switching the adjustment of the cells may be a predetermined number of iterations of the inflation and deflation adjustment of one cell, and the criterion for ending the adjustment of the cells may be a predetermined number of iterations of the inflation and deflation adjustment of all the cells. The operation steps of snore audio detection, adjustment, analysis, storage and the like are the same.
The execution of the above steps may be implemented by programming on a computing system or control system comprising a processor and a memory, which may be located inside the airbag pillow or operatively connected to said airbag pillow, for example receiving signals from an audio sensor of the airbag pillow. The sleep parameter database may be deployed within or external to the computing system or control system, for example in communicative connection with the computing system or control system.
Each of the procedures, steps described above may be implemented in whole or in part by computer software program modules. For example, the step in step S201 may be implemented as a snore detecting module. The steps in step S202 are implemented as a receiving module. The step in step S203 may be implemented as an airbag adaptive adjustment module. The step S204 is implemented as a sleep end determination module for the user alone. Step S205 is implemented solely as a sleep state analysis module.
