Abstract: Clothes have a capability of preventing sleeping respiratory obstruction and/or decubitus, which is worn by a user. The clothes include a plurality of air chambers provided at the rear of the clothes, the air chambers being capable of being shrunk and expanded. An air supply unit supplies air to each of the air chambers, and a pressure detecting unit measures the pressure of each of the air chambers to produce a measured pressure as an electrical signal. A controller receives the measured pressure signal from the pressure detecting unit to supply the air to the air chambers by using the air supply unit when a snoring or a sleep apnea of the user is detected or a predetermined time elapses in the same posture in order to change a posture of the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing a sleeping respiratory obstruction of a sleeper includes first and second air chambers provided to correspond to both sides of a back of a human body, respectively, so as to be shrunk and expanded, an air supply unit for supplying air to the first and second air chambers so as to expand the first and second air chambers, and an operation selection unit for selecting whether to operate one of the first and second air chambers or to alternately operate the first and second air chambers. A controller controls the air supply unit to control air supply and discharge to and from the first or second air chamber so as to operate one of the first and second air chambers or to alternately operate the first and second air chambers according to the selection result in the operation selection unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing snoring includes a human body wearable unit to be worn by a sleeper; air chambers provided at a rear of the human body wearable unit, the air chambers being capable of shrinking and expanding; an air supply unit for supplying air to the air chambers; and a sound detecting unit having installed at the human body wearable unit for sensing a sound generated by the sleeper and for generating the sound as an electrical signal. The apparatus further includes a controller, when a snoring of the sleeper is sensed, for controlling the air supply unit to supply an air to the air chambers, after receiving the signal outputted from the sound detecting unit, wherein a posture of the sleeper is changed by the air chambers having the air supplied from the air supply unit.

Abstract: A sleeping respiratory obstruction prevention apparatus for preventing snoring or sleep apneas includes a human body wearable unit to be worn by a sleeper; air chambers provided at a rear of the human body wearable unit, the air chambers being capable of being shrunk and expanded; and an air supply unit for supplying air to the air chambers. The apparatus further includes a pressure detecting unit for measuring each pressure of the air chambers and outputting each pressure as an electrical signal; and a controller for receiving the signal outputted from the pressure detecting unit to supply the air to the air chambers by using the air supply unit when a snoring or a sleep apnea of the sleeper is detected in order to change a posture of the sleeper. A sleeping respiratory obstruction prevention method is provided to prevent a snoring or a sleep apnea using the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing a sleeping respiratory obstruction includes a pillow sheet having a plurality of chambers on which a user's body is arranged for preventing a sleeping respiratory obstruction, and a control module for controlling inflation and deflation of the chambers in the pillow sheet by supplying and discharging pressure to and from the chambers, to thereby allow the pillow sheet to support a head and a neck of the user during sleep. The sleeping respiratory obstruction apparatus further includes a wearable unit detachably coupled to the pillow sheet and be worn on the human body during sleep.
