In this case, the operating device 300 and the user terminal 400 are each provided with a flipping sensor, and during counting of the sleep time, to analyze the sensing value measured by the flipping sensor to generate the flipping information. do.

In other words, the overturning detection sensor is made of a gyro sensor or a vibration sensor, and unless the overturning of the user is generated, the sensing value measured by the overturning detection sensor does not change. It is determined that overturning of the user has occurred, and it is determined as overturning information.

That is, the point where the sensing value suddenly changes among the sensing values measured by the flipping detection sensor is determined as the flipping information.

In this case, the torsional information includes a time when the torsion occurs, and when the occurrence time is the same or adjacent time zone by comparing the torsion signal with the split phenomenon information, the stimulus signal is stably transmitted from the operation device 300. I think that.

In other words, when the torsion occurs within a predetermined time after the occurrence of the splitting, it can be determined that the stimulus signal is transmitted to the user to recognize the splitting phenomenon.

For example, in the case where the torsion occurs within 5 seconds after the occurrence of the splitting, it is determined that the user recognizes the splitting phenomenon, and if it is out of this, the user is judged that the splitting phenomenon is not normally recognized, that is, the stimulus signal is weak. In response to the determination, the control unit 340 controls such that one or more magnetic poles selected from among electrical stimulation, sound stimulation, or vibration stimulation can be more strongly output.

In this case, when the user selects the vibration stimulus as the output stimulus signal, the operation device 300 is continuously sensing when the vibration stimulation is output, in this case, splitting using only the retardation detection sensor of the user terminal 400. Determine whether or not the phenomenon is.

In detail, in the present invention, the occurrence of moth occurrence information is output to the screen of the user terminal 400 from the start of the sleep until the end of the sleep so that monitoring is possible in real time.

4. Determination Step

The discriminating step is a process of measuring whether or not a split phenomenon occurs. When the EMG signal received from the delivery electrode unit 320 exceeds a set value, it is determined that a split phenomenon occurs.

In detail, the control unit 340 analyzes the received EMG signal during the determination step. When the EMG signal exceeds 40% from the value of the reference signal, it is determined that the splitting occurs. Will be passed on.

5. Stimulus signal applying step

In the stimulus signal applying step, if it is determined that the splitting phenomenon has occurred by the determination step, the controller 340 causes the stimulation signal to be sent to the delivery electrode part 320.

In detail, the stimulus signal applying step may cause one or more signals selected from among an electrical signal, a sound signal, or a vibration signal to be transmitted when a split phenomenon occurs.

At this time, in the case of the electric signal, as the current of 0.1 ~ 7mA is applied to the muscles around the teeth or temples through the delivery electrode unit 320, the user can recognize the stimulation so that the splitting phenomenon can be stopped.

6. Confirmation Step

The acknowledgment step is a process for determining whether the user is a stimulus after applying the stimulus signal.

In detail, in the acknowledgment step, when the control unit 340 compares the application time of the stimulus signal with the generation time of the torsion, and the generation time of the torsion is generated within 5 seconds after the application of the stimulus signal, the user receives the stimulation signal. It determines that it is recognized and controls the output of the stimulus signal to be stopped.

On the contrary, if the torsion information is not generated within 5 seconds after the application of the stimulus signal, the user determines that the stimulus signal is not recognized and controls to output a stimulus signal that is stronger than the output stimulus signal, and then repeats the acknowledgment step. Will be performed.

According to the above process, in the present invention, the stimulus signal is given to the user as soon as the splitting phenomenon occurs, and it is possible to alleviate the splitting phenomenon by continuously observing whether the user recognizes the stimulus signal.

At this time, the information on the occurrence of occurrence and information of falling back measured in the above process is stored in the database server 100 for each date so that the user can check if necessary.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood that the scope of the present invention extends to the range that is substantially equivalent to the embodiment of the present invention. Various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
