Abstract: The present invention relates to a Smart Anti-Snoring Pillow designed to automatically detect and reduce snoring by correcting the user's sleeping posture in real time. The system comprises a sensory module equipped with a microphone and vibration sensor to monitor snoring patterns and airway obstruction signals. A microcontroller processes the acoustic and vibration data using predefined algorithms to identify snoring events. Upon detection, the controller activates an actuation mechanism consisting of air-inflation cushions and/or vibration motors embedded within the pillow to gently reposition the user's head and neck without causing sleep disturbance. The invention further includes a data-logging and wireless communication module that records snoring frequency, intensity, and sleep duration, transmitting the information to a mobile application for sleep analysis. This enables continuous monitoring of sleep health and early detection of conditions such as mild sleep apnea. The system is lightweight, low-power, and portable, making it suitable for home use, elderly care, travel, and clinical sleep-study environments. This invention provides an improved, cost-effective, and user-adaptive solution for minimizing snoring and enhancing overall sleep quality compared to existing anti-snoring devices.
