Interactive respiratory regulator
First Claim
1. An interactive respiratory regulator for a user having a body and a respiratory pattern and cycle possessing an inhalation and exhalation time having a ratio thereof, a pause being present after exhalation, comprising:
- a recording device recording the respiratory pattern of a user and producing a corresponding respiratory signal,an instruction signal generator for generating an instruction signal that can be perceived by an user in order to influence his respiratory behavior,a control device controlling the instruction signal generator,a processing device which determines by means of a parameter of the respiratory signal received whether the respiratory pattern recorded during a predetermined time span meets a preadjustable standard for this parameter, and which at certain error percentage sends a starting signal to the control device,the processing device (4) processes as parameter the ratio between the inhalation and exhalation time in a respiratory cycle, and optionally uses the pause after exhalation.

Abstract
An interactive respiratory regulator comprising a recording device recording the respiratory pattern of a user and issuing a corresponding respiratory signal, an instruction signal generator for the generation of an instruction signal that can be perceived by the user in order to influence his respiratory behavior, a control device controlling the instruction signal generator, a processing device which determines by means of a parameter of the respiratory signal received, whether the recorded respiratory pattern during a predetermined time span meets a pre-adjustable standard for this parameter, and which at a certain error percentage sends a starting signal to the control device. The interactive respiratory regulator is characterized in that the processing device processes as parameter the ratio between the in- and exhalation time in a respiratory cycle. In a preferred embodiment the processing device includes the frequency of the respiratory cycles as second parameter and the pre-adjustable standard comprises also a value for this parameter.
