Managing an active strap system for a face mask
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer usable program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable storage medium including computer usable code for managing a set of active straps for a positive airway pressure (PAP) mask, the computer usable code comprising instructions for performing the steps of:
- detecting a mask air pressure value of an air volume contained by the PAP mask to determine whether an air leak has occurred;
detecting a force pressure value measured between the PAP mask and a face with a force pressure sensor;
responsive to detecting an air leak, analyzing the force pressure value with a processor for identifying an adjustment of the set of active straps; and
performing the identified adjustment with the set of active straps.

10. A positive airway pressure (PAP) mask system comprising:
-
an air pressure sensor for detecting a mask air pressure value of an air volume contained by the PAP mask to determine whether an air leak has occurred; a force pressure sensor for detecting a force pressure vale measured between the PAP mask and a face; a transmitter for sending the air pressure value and the force pressure value to a data processing system which, responsive to detecting an air leak, analyzes the force pressure value for identifying an adjustment of the set of active straps; a receiver for receiving an identified adjustment from the data processing system; and a set of active straps for performing the identified adjustment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
