Active Snore Control System Integrated with Apnea Detector

摘要

This paper presents a snore active noise control (ANC) system to effectively reduce the loud snore for the snorer's bed partner. Real-time experiments are conducted to evaluate the noise reduction performance based on the headboard and pillow setups. This snore ANC system is integrated with a non-obtrusive technique to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) of the snorer. The OSA detection is based on the bispectral analysis of the snore signals picked up by the reference microphone of ANC system.
