Abstract

Systems and method are provided for monitoring a person's snoring in a dwelling. A detection device is in communication with a user monitoring device. The detection device includes at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device configured to detect at least one of a person's motion, movement and gesture. A user monitoring device includes at least one element selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; one or more RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WIFI); a memory; and one or more LED's. The detection device and user monitoring device detect a person's level of snoring.

Claims (31)

1 . A system for monitoring a person's snoring in a dwelling, comprising:

a detection device in communication with a user monitoring device, the detection device including at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device configured to detect at least one of a person's motion, movement and gesture; and

a user monitoring device including at least one element selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; one or more RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WIFI); a memory; and one or more LED's, wherein the detection device and user monitoring device detect a person's level of snoring.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the detection device detects a vibration of respiratory structures.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the vibration results in snoring sounds.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the vibration results in sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the sound is soft.

6 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the sound is loud.

7 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring sounds is a factor of sleep deprivation.

8 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring causes sleep deprivation.

9 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring is indicative of sleep deprivation.

10 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring is indication of heart disease.

11 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring is indicative of carotid artery atherosclerosis.

12 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring is indicative of a turbulence in carotid artery blood flow.

13 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the snoring is indicative of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

14 . A method for monitoring a person's snoring in a dwelling, comprising:

providing a detection device in communication with a user monitoring device, the detection device including at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device configured to detect at least one of a person's motion, movement and gesture;

providing a user monitoring device including at least one element selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; one or more RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WIFI); a memory; and one or more LED's; and

using the detection device and the user monitoring device to detect a person's level of snoring.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the detection device detects a vibration of respiratory structures.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the vibration results in snoring sounds.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the vibration results in sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the sound is soft.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the sound is loud.

20 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the snoring sounds is a factor of sleep deprivation.

21 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the snoring causes sleep deprivation.

22 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the snoring is indicative of sleep deprivation.

23 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the snoring is indication of heart disease.

24 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the snoring is indicative of carotid artery atherosclerosis.

25 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the snoring is indicative of a turbulence in carotid artery blood flow.

26 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the snoring is indicative of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
