Pillow set with snoring noise cancellation
Active noise control systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. Anti-snoring systems can include a first pillow unit having at least one error microphone and at least one speaker, at least one reference microphone configured to capture sound produced proximate to the at least one reference microphone, and a control unit operatively coupled to the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone. In some aspects, the control unit can be configured to produce an anti-noise in the at least one speaker disposed in the first pillow unit by processing signals received from the at least one error microphone and the at least one reference microphone using gated dynamic adjustments such that the anti-noise cancels any sound produced proximate the at least one reference.
1. An anti-snoring system, comprising:
a first pillow unit having at least one error microphone and at least one speaker;
at least one reference microphone configured to capture sound produced proximate to the at least one reference microphone; and
a control unit operatively coupled to the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone such that it receives signals from the at least one error microphone disposed in the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone, and the control unit being configured to produce an anti-noise in the at least one speaker disposed in the first pillow unit by processing the signals received from the at least one error microphone and the at least one reference microphone using gated dynamic adjustments such that the anti-noise cancels any sound produced proximate the at least one reference microphone only when the sound exceeds a predetermined threshold.
2. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is wirelessly coupled to the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone.
3. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is wirelessly coupled to the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone using a wireless RF link.
4. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the first pillow unit includes at least one reference microphone configured to capture sound produced proximate to the at least one reference microphone disposed in the first pillow unit.
5. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one reference microphone is disposed in a second pillow unit.
6. The anti-snoring device of claim 5 , wherein the second pillow unit further comprises at least one error microphone and at least one speaker.
7. The anti-snoring device of claim 5 , wherein the control unit is disposed within the first pillow unit or the second pillow unit.
8. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using secondary path training.
9. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using primary path training.
10. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using ultrasonic primary path training.
11. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using adaptive step size filtering.
12. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using automatic gain control.
13. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using auxiliary supplemental audio.
14. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit further processes the signals using sleep analysis.
15. The anti-snoring device of claim 1 , wherein processing the signals received from the at least one error microphone in the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone further comprises using at least one of primary path training, ultrasonic primary path training, adaptive step size filtering, automatic gain control, auxiliary supplemental audio, and sleep analysis.
