Abstract:
1. An automated anti-snoring bed system, comprising: a bed for supporting a user lying thereon, wherein the bed is internally provided with a driving device configured for changing a configuration of the bed to a anti-snoring mode or a normal mode; a sensing device for transmitting a detection signal toward the user's chest periodically, wherein the sensing device isn't in contact with the user's body and comprises a processor, a signal transmission module, a signal receiving module and a command transmission module, the signal transmission module and the signal receiving module are configured for ultra-wideband transmission and for detecting a displacement of the user's chest within every certain period of time, the processor is connected to the signal transmission module and the signal receiving module respectively and is configured for driving the signal transmission module to transmit the detection signal and obtaining a reflected signal through the signal receiving module, and the processor issues a control command through the command transmission module when determining that the user is snoring or in sleep apnea; thereby, when the detection signal is reflected and returns as the reflected signal after reaching the user, the processor calculates a displacement the displacement of the user's chest according to the detection signal and the reflected signal and determines whether the user is snoring or in sleep apnea and then, according to the displacement, issues the control command when it is determined that the user is snoring or in sleep apnea; and a control device connected to the driving device, wherein the control device is configured for receiving the control command and driving the driving device according to the control command such that the driving device changes the configuration of the bed to the anti-snoring mode and thereby changes the user's sleeping posture.
