1-15. (canceled)
A sleep induction device comprising:
- a speaker configured to output sound;
- a sensor configured to obtain a breathing signal of a user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain a breathing frequency of the user per a first time period based on the obtained breathing signal,
- determine a characteristic frequency of a breathing-tuned sound based on the obtained breathing frequency, and
- output the breathing-tuned sound according to the determined characteristic frequency, wherein the characteristic frequency corresponds to a number of times at least one of a magnitude or a frequency of the outputted breathing-tuned sound is repeated for a second time period.
A method for operating a sleep induction device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a breathing signal of a user;
- obtaining a breathing frequency of the user per a first time period based on the obtained breathing signal;
- determining a characteristic frequency of a breathing-tuned sound based on the obtained breathing frequency;
- and
- outputting the breathing-tuned sound according to the determined characteristic frequency, wherein the characteristic frequency corresponds to a number of times at least one of a magnitude or a frequency of the outputted breathing-tuned sound is repeated for a second time period.
