  • Publication number: 20200093426
    Abstract: A method and system of obstructed area determination for sleep apnea syndrome are disclosed. The method comprising obtaining a snoring signal from an individual; obtaining a spectrogram of the snoring signal based on short-time Fourier Transform; obtaining a snoring signal feature based on a harmonic wave of the spectrogram; and obtaining a collapse index by comparing the snoring signal feature against a snoring signal feature-collapse index correlation database. The present invention enables the diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome and determination the obstructed area for the sleep apnea syndrome with only the snoring signal of an individual during sleep.

  • Patent number: 10037481
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method for an otitis media database constructing. The steps of method comprise: First, receiving a plurality of tympanic membrane images, wherein the tympanic membrane images are ear infection in different types. Second, choosing one of the tympanic membrane images, then classifying into a plurality of anatomic regions based on a plurality of tissue types. Coding each of anatomic regions with a numerical number to describe its morbid condition, and obtaining an eigenvalue through collecting the numerical number of each anatomic region. Furthermore, repeatedly choosing other one of tympanic membrane images until each tympanic membrane image obtaining the eigenvalue. And obtaining a matrix through collecting the eigenvalue of each tympanic membrane image, then generating an otitis media database.
