Abstract
This paper presents integration of active noise control (ANC) systems with a smart pad to reduce the noise made by snoring. One reference microphone, two secondary speakers and two error microphones are used with a feedforward ANC algorithm in the smart pad design. Several smart functions including snore detection, quiet zone localization, and advanced audio integration are proposed. An effective way to satisfy the causality constraint of the feedforward ANC system is presented. The smart pad is independent of the pillow and is not in contact with the user; it is portable and is not a burden to the user during sleep. Several experiments are conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the smart pad when used on a full-size bed.
