    Abstract: A respiratory status examination apparatus and method, and a sleep disorder control device and method are proposed. The apparatus may include at least one image capturing unit that is movably arranged to adjust a distance with respect to a subject and configured to obtain a thermal image by photographing the subject. The apparatus may also include a motion sensor unit configured to detect a motion of the subject to generate motion information, and a temperature information extracting unit configured to specify at least one examination region from the thermal image obtained by the image capturing unit and extract temperature information from the examination region. The apparatus may further include a respiratory status examining unit configured to determine a respiratory status of the subject based on the temperature information extracted by the temperature information extracting unit and the motion information generated by the motion sensor unit.
