Abstract:
A method of treating snoring among two users includes determining that snoring by at least one of the users is occurring, and responsive thereto, either: (a) determining that only one of the at least two users is snoring and responsive thereto generating a signal to produce an anti-snoring motion in an active pillow associated with the one user and generating another signal to produce a distracting motion in another active pillow associated with the other user; or (b) determining that both of the users are snoring and responsive thereto generating signals to produce anti-snoring motions in each of the active pillows.
