  • Patent number: 10426426
    Abstract: A method for detecting thresholds in a breathing session is disclosed. The method comprises recording breathing sounds of a subject using a microphone. The method further comprises processing the breathing sounds to generate an audio respiratory signal and recognizing a plurality of breath cycles from the audio respiratory signal. Additionally, the method comprises extracting metrics related to a breath intensity and a breath rate from the plurality of breath cycles and producing a plurality of vectors using the metrics related to the breath intensity and the breath rate. Further, the method comprises calculating a master vector by summing the plurality of vectors and assigning each value in the master vector with a weighting coefficient and determining the thresholds using peak values in said master vector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9814438
    Abstract: A method for performing dynamic classification of a breathing session is disclosed. The method comprises capturing breathing sounds of a subject using a microphone. Further, it comprises recognizing a plurality of breath cycles and a plurality of breath phases within each of the plurality of breath cycles from the breathing sounds. It also comprises detecting characteristics regarding the plurality of breath cycles and the plurality of breath phases. Finally, it comprises extracting metrics concerning a breath pattern quality of the subject using the detected characteristics.
