Description

HOME NETWORK SYSTEM TO PREVENT SLEEP BREATHING DISORDERS

The present invention relates to a home network system for preventing sleep breathing disorders.

Sleep is an important activity that maintains the body's circadian rhythm and enhances the body's recovery function. In particular, melatonin secreted from the brain during sleep has antioxidant and anti-aging effects, as well as regulating sleep rhythm to increase immunity through anticancer activity, blood pressure control and stress relief. Such high-quality sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy life. However, according to recent statistical data, the number of patients treated for sleep disorders is rapidly increasing. Insufficient sleep or poor quality of sleep breaks the circadian rhythm and easily leads to weakened immunity. Examples of these sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, hypersomnia, and somnambulism. ), etc. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of sleep, various methods for alleviating such sleep disorders are required.

Among them, snoring and sleep apnea are the most common sleep disorders after insomnia. Snoring, which is caused by vibrations in the soft palate and surrounding mucous membranes such as the uvula, as air passes through the narrowed breathing passages (nasal and sinuses) during sleep, is caused by failure to breathe normally through the nose. In particular, if snoring is severe, sleep apnea may occur. If sleep apnea occurs more than 40 times a night, it is difficult to get a deep sleep, and oxygen supply to the body becomes difficult, causing fatigue, morning headache, lethargy, memory loss, depression, etc. can experience In addition, if the sleep apnea is left untreated for a long period of time, serious side effects such as diabetes, heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease may occur. Therefore, if snoring during sleep and the above symptoms occur during the day, it is necessary to check for sleep apnea before treatment.

There are several methods of treatment for snoring and sleep apnea, such as weight control, posture therapy, positive pressure breathing apparatus, oral device, and surgery, and each of these treatment methods has advantages and disadvantages. Among them, oral devices, positive pressure breathing apparatus, and surgery are called primary treatment and are widely implemented as the main effective treatment methods. The oral device method is a treatment method mainly recommended for simple snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. When sleeping with a specially designed device in the mouth, muscle tension increases and the upper airway expands. Although this method has the advantage of excellent therapeutic effect, it is inconvenient because it is necessary to sleep with the device in the mouth every day, and there is a disadvantage that it is not treated when not in use. Positive pressure ventilation is the preferred treatment method for moderate to severe sleep apnea, and it is a principle of preventing airway narrowing during sleep by continuously supplying air pressure from the outside. However, it has the disadvantage of being inconvenient as with the oral device method because it has to wear a mask every day to sleep, and there is also a limitation that it is not treated when not in use. The last method, surgery, can generally be performed in the following three cases. It can be performed when there is an anatomical structure such as tonsil hypertrophy that makes the upper airway clearly narrow, or when medical treatment such as positive pressure breathing apparatus or oral device method has failed, and to help patients adapt well to such medical treatment. . However, it is effective only in some of these patients, and in other patients, it is difficult to predict the treatment effect and the surgery cost can be burdensome. In addition, there is a risk of having to accept surgery and complications.

In addition to the above treatment methods, various techniques for preventing the repeated occurrence of sleep breathing disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea have been developed. Representatively, there are a device that adjusts a user's posture during sleep using a pillow or a device that gives vibration stimulation to a user, and a device that physically expands the user by inserting it into the nostril to prevent the occurrence of the disorder. However, since these technologies are not technologies that directly widen the nasal passages and sinuses to secure air passageways, they cannot be said to be fundamental solutions to prevent the repeated occurrence of sleep breathing disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea. In addition, since the occurrence of snoring and sleep apnea was determined using only non-electrophysiological signals, it is difficult to believe that sleep breathing disorder was accurately detected.

In this regard, as an intraoral device for preventing sleep breathing disorders, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0856672 (Title of the Invention: Corrector of snoring and sleep apnea) and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0064166 (of the invention) Name: Oral device for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea). In addition, as an intra-nasal device for preventing sleep breathing disorders, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1686747 (Title of the Invention: Anti-snoring device including an opening) and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2010191 (Title of the Invention: Snoring) No. 10-0769520 (title of the invention: device for preventing snoring and sleep apnea), Korean Patent Publication No. 10- 2010-0012528 (title of the invention: anti-snoring pillow), and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0047395 (title of the invention: anti-snoring pillow). The above-mentioned existing patents propose a device for preventing sleep breathing disorder, but there are clear differences from the present invention.

The case of Patent No. 10-0856672 relates to a corrector for snoring and sleep apnea. This invention relates to a device for preventing sleep breathing disorders by inserting a corrector into the oral cavity so that the user can breathe smoothly during sleep to keep the airway near the pharynx in an open state. In addition, by applying a design that reduces the pressure on the user's upper and lower teeth, it is possible to provide a comfortable and stable sleep to the user when wearing the device. In the case of Patent No. 10-2010-0064166, the lower jaw protrudes forward than the upper jaw to secure a space between the pharyngeal wall and surrounding soft tissues, thereby smoothing breathing and preventing sleep breathing disorders. This device minimizes irritation applied to the mucous membrane in the oral cavity, so that the user can wear it without discomfort. However, these devices may interfere with sleep when worn for a long period of time, and have limitations in that they cannot ultimately improve the quality of sleep because they do not present a stimulus to alleviate sleep breathing disorders.

Patent No. 10-1686747 relates to a snoring prevention device for preventing snoring, and is an invention related to a device capable of artificially expanding the nostril by inserting an intra-nasal device. This prevents snoring by securing a space from the nasal cavity to the larynx. In the case of Patent No. 10-2010191, it is an invention that enables respiratory air circulation by inserting the device into the nostril as a nostril expansion device for preventing snoring. This device maximizes compatibility and fit by allowing the volume of the extension to be adjusted. However, the method has a limitation in that it cannot alleviate sleep breathing disorders because it is difficult to see that oxygen supply is increased only by dilating the nostrils.

Patent No. 10-0769520 is an invention related to preventing snoring and sleep apnea by changing the sleeping posture. This device is composed of a pressure switch that is worn on the user's back and is contacted by a certain pressure, a vibrator that generates vibration, and a battery housing that stores the battery. . Patent No. 10-2010-0012528 is an invention related to a pillow for preventing snoring. This can help sleep by detecting the sound generated by a high-sensitivity voice recognition sensor for snoring that occurs during sleep, and then controlling the height of the pillow by operating the built-in pump motor to secure a narrowed airway during sleep. In the case of Patent No. 10-2011-0047395, it is an invention related to a pillow that prevents sleep breathing disorders. It stimulates the head and neck of the body to recognize it, and at the same time, the stimulation is repeated according to the intensity of snoring. However, since the above methods cannot directly affect breathing-related disorders, they cannot be effective mediators, and have limitations in measuring snoring and sleep apnea using only non-electrophysiological signals.

In these existing inventions, only the device is inserted into the oral cavity and nostrils to give no direct stimulation, so it cannot be said to be a fundamental solution for preventing sleep breathing disorders. In addition, the reliability of detection is somewhat lowered to determine whether sleep breathing disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea occur using only the user's non-electrophysiological signals during sleep. Therefore, there is a need for a method that can accurately detect and effectively prevent sleep breathing disorders using both electrophysiological and non-electrophysiological signals.

The present application is to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and by receiving an electrophysiological signal using PPG (Photoplethysmography, photoplethysmography) and a non-electrophysiological signal such as sound or movement, sleep breathing disorder occurs in real time An object of the present invention is to provide a home network system for preventing the occurrence of sleep breathing disorders by judging whether or not the humidification device is operating.

However, the technical problems to be achieved by the present embodiment are not limited to the technical problems described above, and other technical problems may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above technical problem, the home network system for preventing sleep breathing disorders according to the first embodiment of the present application, a humidifying device for generating humidified air; a biosignal measuring unit measuring a user's biosignal; and a home server for controlling an operation of the humidifying device according to data received from the bio-signal measuring unit, wherein the home server includes: a communication module for communicating with the humidifying device and the bio-signal measuring unit; a memory in which the humidifier control program is stored; It includes a processor for executing the humidifier control program stored in the memory. At this time, the humidifier control program determines whether the biosignal data received from the biosignal measurement unit through the communication module exceeds a preset threshold, predicts whether the humidifier is driven and conditions, and operates the communication module It transmits whether or not the humidifier is operated and the condition through the operation.

The method for preventing sleep and breathing disorders using a home network system according to the second embodiment of the present application receives biosignal data from a biosignal measurement unit through a communication module, and determines whether the received biosignal data exceeds a preset threshold value to do; when the received biosignal data exceeds a reference value, setting whether to drive the humidifier and conditions based on the received biosignal data; transmitting whether the humidifying device is driven and condition data to the humidifying device through a communication module; and driving the humidifier on the basis of whether the received humidifier is driven and condition data.

According to the above-described problem solving means of the present application, by receiving the electrophysiological signal and non-electrophysiological signal of the sleeping user, determining whether sleep breathing disorder occurs in real time, and operating the humidifier to prevent sleep breathing disorder It works.

In addition, by spraying fine water particles into the user's nasal passages and sinuses through the humidifying device, the user's upper airway is widened, thereby securing an air passage, and the effect of effectively improving the quality of sleep can be greatly improved.
