Patent ID: 8491489

Claim:
A system for conducing a user's breathing, comprising: a breathing monitoring device to detect a user's breathing; a respiratory information generator to generate current respiratory information of the user based on the user's breathing, with the current respiratory information including a current respiratory cycle and/or current respiratory rate of the user; and a breathing-conducing unit to compare the current respiratory information with predefined respiratory information of the user, and to display and/or represent the predefined respiratory information to the user through a display and/or audio output if the current respiratory information and the predefined respiratory information are different, wherein, when the current respiratory information and the predefined respiratory information are different, the respiratory information generator continues to review the user's breathing while the predefined respiratory information is displayed and/or represented to the user through the display and/or audio output, wherein the breathing-conducing unit further provides visual and/or audio feedback to the user to indicate a progression of the user's breathing in matching the predefined respiratory information, and wherein the respiratory information generator generates the current respiratory information by comparing a magnitude of the user's breathing to a predetermined threshold value and distinguishing a period of the user's breathing into an inhale period and an exhale period based on a result of the comparing of the magnitude of the user's breathing to the predetermined threshold value, and a first portion of the period during which the magnitude of the user's breathing is greater than the predetermined threshold value is determined to be the exhale period and a second portion of the period during which the magnitude of the user's breathing is not greater than the predetermined threshold value is determined to be the inhale period of the user's breathing.
