In the design practice, technologies such as sensors, signal processing, and control systems were adopted to achieve precise recognition and intelligent control of snoring sounds. The test results show that the intelligent anti snoring sleep aid pillow can achieve a snoring recognition accuracy of 94%, with high reliability and stability.展开更多
