(Embodiment 1)
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The bedding device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a sound sensor 12, an air bag 13, a controller 14, and an air pump 17, as shown in FIG. The sound sensor 12 and the air bag 13 are provided in the bedding 11. An air pipe 18 through which air passes is provided between the air bag 12 and the air pump 17.

  The sound sensor 12 is a sensor that converts an input sound signal into a voltage signal and outputs the voltage signal, and includes a microphone or the like.

  The air bag 13 is a bag-like body having an air supply / exhaust port. The air pump 17 is inflated by flowing air from the air supply / exhaust port via the air pipe 18, and the air pump 17 is supplied via the air pipe 18. It contracts by sucking air from the exhaust port.

  The air pump 17 is a pump having a slow intake / exhaust speed, and is driven at an exhaust speed that requires 3 to 4 seconds for the airbag 13 to expand to a predetermined size, for example. Further, in order to prevent the surrounding dust from rising, it is desirable that there is no external exhaust. For example, a circulating type in which inhaled air is temporarily stored in an air tank and the stored air is discharged may be used. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, the air pump 17 has a bellows-like air tank 174 that expands and contracts when a gear 172 rotated by a DC (Direct Current) motor 171 moves up and down with respect to the support portion 173. Alternatively, a pump of a type that exhausts air from the air bag 13 by contracting the air tank 174 and sucks air from the air bag 13 by inflating the air tank 174 may be used. Here, the capacity of the air bag 13 and the capacity of the air tank 174 are substantially the same.

  In this embodiment, the bedding 11 is a pillow as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, and the airbag 13 is attached to the pillow (bedding 11) as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. It is fixed against. The airbag 13 is positioned vertically below the neck 22 when the user places the head 21 on the bedding 11 in a sleeping posture. And the two sound sensors 12 are provided in the side of the head 21 mounted on the bedding 11, as shown to Fig.3 (a).

  When air is not contained in the air bag 13, the pillow that is the bedding 11 is substantially flat as shown in FIG. 3B (initial state). When air enters the air bag 13 and inflates, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the vertically lower part of the neck portion 22 of the bedding 11 is pushed up by the air bag 13 and rises, and the raised portion of the bedding 11 and the air bag 13 are raised. Pushes up the person's neck 22 (raised state).

  The controller 14 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 15 and a storage unit 16. The CPU 15 functions as a cough / sneeze detection unit 151 and a bulge control unit 152 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 16. The cough / sneeze detection unit 151 detects a signal indicating cough / sneeze from the output signal of the sound sensor 12. The bulge controller 152 changes the bulge state from the initial state by controlling the air pump 17 that supplies and exhausts air to the airbag 13 based on the detection signal of the cough / sneeze detector 151. To the initial state. Here, the bulge control unit 152, the airbag 13, and the air pump 17 function as a bulge deforming unit.

  The storage unit 16 includes a storage device such as a hard disk, a memory card, and a flash memory, and includes user information, data indicating a user's cough or sneeze sound, a determination threshold value for determining a cough or sneeze sound, and the like. I remember it. The storage unit 16 also stores a bulge control processing program executed by the CPU 15.

  In the bedding apparatus 1 configured as described above, the uplift control process executed by the CPU 15 of the controller 14 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The uplift control process starts when a user who goes to sleep or a person who cares for the user turns on the power. First, a user ID is acquired by an operation input by a user or the like (step S101). And the threshold value for determination memorize | stored corresponding to user ID in the memory | storage part 16 is read (step S102). This threshold for determination is a threshold for determining whether or not a signal indicating a cough or sneezing sound has been detected, and is a value indicating the upper and lower limits of the range of the signal duration, interruption time, frequency, amplitude, etc. It is.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is an end instruction by the user or the like (step S103). If there is no end instruction (step S103; No), whether or not a signal indicating cough / sneeze is detected from the output signal of the sound sensor 12 is detected. Is determined (step S104).

The output voltage signal of the sound sensor 12 when a cough or sneeze sound is input to the sound sensor 12 is an intermittent signal as shown in FIG. The intermittent signal comprises interruptions B downtime continuation portion A and the predetermined range of duration t _a predetermined range t _b. The signal of the continuation part A has a predetermined range of frequency and a predetermined range of amplitude.

The storage unit 16 stores the duration t _a , the interruption time t _b , the frequency, the upper limit value of the amplitude, and the lower limit value as threshold values for determination. In step S102, the threshold value is read. In step S104, an intermittent signal having _a duration t _a , an interruption time t _b , a frequency and an amplitude between the upper limit value and the lower limit value is detected, and the continuation unit A is detected a predetermined number of times. It is determined that coughing or sneezing has been detected when detected above.

  The determination threshold value read from the storage unit 16 in step S102 may be a value input in advance by the user or the like, or a value determined based on a voltage signal obtained by converting the sound of the user's cough or sneezing by the sound sensor 12 in the past. But you can. For example, the upper limit of duration is 450 msec, the lower limit is 150 msec, the upper limit of interruption time is 5000 msec, the lower limit is 500 msec, the upper limit of frequency is 4000 Hz, the lower limit is 2000 Hz, the upper limit of amplitude is 1.5 V, and the lower limit. The value is 0.7V.

In step S104, an intermittent signal having _a duration t _a , an interruption time t _b , a frequency and an amplitude between the upper limit value and the lower limit value (determination threshold value) and having the continuation part A more than a predetermined number of times is detected. When it is determined that cough / sneeze has been detected (step S104; Yes), the raised state is set (step S105). In the present embodiment, the air bag 13 is set in a raised state by discharging air from the air pump 17 and inflating the air bag 13. Thereafter, the process returns to step S103.

  If it is determined in step S104 that no cough or sneeze is detected (step S104; No), it is determined whether the state is a raised state (step S106). That is, after detecting cough or sneeze in step S104, it is determined whether or not the cough or sneeze has subsided and a signal indicating cough or sneeze is no longer detected. If it is not in the raised state (step S106; No), the state where no cough or sneeze is detected continues, and the process returns to step S103.

  If it is determined in step S106 that it is in the raised state (step S106; Yes), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed since the detection of the cough or sneeze signal (step S107). If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the detection of the cough or sneeze signal (step S107; No), the process returns to step S103, and the processes of steps S103 to S107 are repeated until the predetermined time has elapsed.

  If a predetermined time has elapsed since the detection of the cough or sneeze signal (step S107; Yes), it can be determined that the cough or sneeze has subsided, and the airbag 13 is set to the initial state (step S108). ). In the present embodiment, the air pump 17 sucks air from the air bag 13 and contracts the air bag 13 to set the air bag 13 to an initial state. Thereafter, the process returns to step S103.

  If there is an end instruction from the user or the like in step S103 (step S103; Yes), the air bag 13 is set to an initial state (step S109), and the process ends. In order to confirm whether or not there is an end instruction from the user or the like at any time in step S103, the user feels that the raised state is uncomfortable, or when the raised state has no effect on sedation of coughing or sneezing, etc. The airbag can be returned to the initial state based on the end instruction such as.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the bedding device 1 is configured so that the cough / sneeze detection unit 151 has intermittent duration, interruption time, frequency, and amplitude within a predetermined range from the output signal of the sound sensor 12. When a typical signal is detected as a signal indicating a coughing or sneezing sound, the uplift control unit 152 controls the air pump 17 to discharge air and inflate the air bag 13 to a raised state. Thereby, when a user's cough is emitted, the position with respect to the parietal part of a jaw goes up a little by pushing up the user's neck part 22 by the airbag 13, and an airway can spread and the cough can be calmed down. In addition, even when the user sneezes, by slightly raising the position of the jaw relative to the top of the jaw, the airway can be opened to minimize irritation to nasal lesions, and sneeze can be suppressed.

  In addition, the bedding 11 provided with the airbag 13 may be a clothing type that can be worn by the user as shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, (a) is the figure seen from the upper part of the bedding 11, (b)-(d) shows the figure which looked at the direction of the arrow from the cross section in AA 'of (a). Yes. The clothes-type bedding 11 includes three types of airbags 13-1, 13-2, and 13-3 as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, and the airbag 13-1 is a user in a sleeping position. The airbag 13-2 is positioned vertically below the left and right shoulder blades, and the airbag 13-3 is positioned vertically below the shoulder. The bedding 11 further includes a fixing cloth 31, a shoulder band 32, and a torso band 33 for fixing to the user's body.

  In the process of setting the raised state in step S105 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the air pump 17 discharges air and the three types of air bags 13-1, 13-2, and 13-3 are inflated. Alternatively, they may be inflated one by one in any order.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, when coughing or sneezing is detected for the first time, the airbag 13-3 provided vertically below the right shoulder 35 is inflated, and the coughing or sneezing is suppressed after a certain time. If not, the air bag 13-2 closer to the right shoulder blade of the user's torso 34 may be inflated as shown in FIG. 6 (d). Further, the airbag 13-1 vertically below the neck may be inflated after a certain time. You may enable a user etc. to set the order to inflate.

  Moreover, it has a tapping function in which a vibrator is installed on the surface of the air bag 13-2 located between the left and right scapulas on the opposite side of the fixed cloth 31 and taps at predetermined time intervals. May be. Thereby, foreign substances, such as a pharynx, and tongue can be discharged.

(Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The bedding device 5 according to the present embodiment includes a sound sensor 12, a raised portion 53, and a controller 14, as shown in FIG. The sound sensor 12 and the raised portion 53 are provided in the bedding 51. The configuration of the sound sensor 12 and the controller 14 and the processing executed by the CPU 15 of the controller 14 are the same as those in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the raised portion 53 and the raised control portion 152 of the controller 14 function as a raised deformation portion.

  The bedding 51 is a bed as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, and the raised portion 53 provided in the bedding 51 is provided vertically below the back of the head of the user in the sleeping position, and the bed (bedding 51). It is the pillow part fixed so that rotation was possible. Two sound sensors 12 are provided on the side of the head 21 placed on the raised portion 53 (pillow portion).

  In the process of setting the raised state in step S105 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 8B, the pillow portion, which is the raised portion 53, rotates in the direction of the arrow about the rotation shaft 62 as the axis of the user. It is the process which raises the part located in the perpendicular downward direction of a part. That is, when the bulge control unit 152 of the CPU 15 of the controller 14 outputs a command signal for setting the bulge state to the bulge unit 53 in step S105, the motor that transmits power to the rotary shaft 62 rotates, and the bulge unit is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle. 53 is rotated.

  The process of setting the initial state in steps S108 and S109 in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is as shown in FIG. 8A in which the pillow portion which is the raised portion 53 rotates in the direction opposite to the arrow about the rotation shaft 62. This is a process of returning the raised portion 53 (pillow portion) to a substantially flat state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the raised portion 53 is configured by a pillow portion that is rotatably fixed to the bed, and when it is determined that coughing or sneezing has occurred, the raised control unit 152 When setting to the raised state, the raised portion 53 was rotated to raise the portion located vertically below the neck. Thereby, with a simple configuration without an air pump, by slightly raising the position of the jaw relative to the top of the jaw, the airway can spread and coughing can be suppressed.

(Embodiment 3)
Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The bedding apparatus 5 according to the present embodiment includes the sound sensor 12, the raised portion 53, and the controller 14 shown in FIG. The sound sensor 12 and the raised portion 53 are provided in the bedding 51. The configuration of the sound sensor 12 and the controller 14 and the processing executed by the CPU 15 of the controller 14 are the same as those in the first and second embodiments. In the present embodiment, the raised portion 53 and the raised control portion 152 of the controller 14 function as a raised deformation portion.

  The bedding 51 is a pillow as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, and the raised portion 53 provided in the bedding 51 is a roller provided inside the pillow. Two sound sensors 12 are provided on the side of the head 21 placed on the pillow (bedding 51). The roller extends in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the user in the sleeping position and can move in a direction (direction C) parallel to the height direction.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the pillow that is the bedding 51 includes two guide rails 72 that are laid in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the roller that is the raised portion 53 at the end of the bedding 51. .
The roller which is the raised portion 53 is provided with a rotating shaft 71 with a DC motor. By rotating the DC motor, the rotating shaft 71 rotates on the guide rail 72, so that the raised portion 53 moves in the direction C.

  As shown in FIG. 9C, the process of setting the raised state in step S105 of the flowchart of FIG. 4 moves the roller as the raised portion 53 in the direction C, and the user of the pillow (bedding 51) This is a process of raising a portion located vertically below the neck 22. In other words, when the bulge control unit 152 of the CPU 15 of the controller 14 outputs a command signal for setting the bulge state to the bulge unit 53 in step S105, the DC motor of the rotary shaft 71 is rotationally driven to move the bulge unit 53 to a predetermined position. Move.

  Then, in the process of setting the initial state in steps S108 and S109 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the roller which is the raised portion 53 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction C, and the raised portion 53 is moved as shown in FIG. Set near the top of the head. As a result, the bulge vertically below the neck is restored and the pillow is returned to a substantially flat shape.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the bulging portion 53 is configured by a roller that is movably provided inside the pillow, and the bulging control unit 152 is bulged when it is determined that coughing or sneezing has occurred. In setting, the roller of the raised portion 53 is moved along the guide rail 72 to raise the portion located vertically below the neck. Thereby, with a simple configuration without an air pump, by slightly raising the position of the jaw relative to the top of the jaw, the airway can spread and coughing can be suppressed.

  Note that any other method may be used as the method of moving the roller of the raised portion 53. For example, instead of the guide rail 72 installed in the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the roller in FIG. 9, two guide chains 73 are provided at the end of the bedding 51 as shown in FIG. The motor-equipped rotating shaft 71 may be rotated while being fitted to the guide chain 73 to move in the direction C and the opposite direction.

  The rotating shaft 71 of the roller (the raised portion 53) advances while rotating below the guide chain 73, but the guide chain 73 adjusts the slackness of the chain by the chain tensioner 74 and always keeps the tensioned state. The roller can be reliably moved without 71 separating from the guide chain 73. In step S105 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the roller which is the raised portion 53 is moved in the direction C, and the pillow (bedding 51) is positioned vertically below the neck 22 of the user as shown in FIG. Raise the part. Then, in steps S108 and S109 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the roller which is the raised portion 53 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction C, and the raised portion 53 is set in the vicinity of the crown as shown in FIG.

  As described above, the present invention detects a signal indicating a cough or sneeze sound generated by a user in a sleeping position from the output signal of the sound sensor, and the user detects the cough or the sneeze signal when the detection unit detects the cough or sneeze signal. A predetermined position between the back of the neck and the back was raised. Thereby, the coughing or sneezing of the user of the sleeping posture can be sedated.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, the various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention is possible.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the cough or sneeze is detected when the signal output from the sound sensor 12 has a duration, interruption time, frequency, and amplitude within a predetermined range. A cough or sneeze may be detected when at least one parameter is within a predetermined range. Further, it may be determined whether the signal indicates coughing or sneezing using other parameters such as the amount of change in frequency within the duration.

  In addition, coughing or sneezing is detected when the duration, interruption time, frequency, and amplitude of the voltage signal output from the sound sensor 12 are within the predetermined range. However, the range of these parameters should be adapted to the snoring sound. Thus, the snoring sound can also be detected. Snoring can be reduced or stopped by inflating the airbag 13 or raising the raised portion 53 when a snoring sound is detected. Further, when a snoring sound peculiar to a person with apnea syndrome (a short snoring sound or the like) is detected and the snoring sound is detected again after a certain period of interruption, the air bag 13 is inflated or the raised portion 53 is Raising can widen the airway and relieve symptoms of apnea syndrome.

  Moreover, although the part to be raised in the bedding 11 and 51 is assumed to be vertically below the neck of the user in the sleeping position, an arbitrary position between the neck and the back may be raised. Further, the user may be able to set the position to be raised.

  Moreover, it is also possible to make the said information terminal function as the controller 50 which concerns on this invention by running the program of the elevation control process which CPU15 of the controller 14 performed by information terminals, such as an existing computer.

  Such a program distribution method is arbitrary, for example, a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), an MO (Magneto Optical Disc), or a memory card. It may be stored and distributed in the network, or distributed via a communication network such as the Internet.
