Abstract (en)

A fan rotation speed or change in fan rotation speed is monitored of a mask, and from this a first value relating to magnitude of a pressure fluctuation across the fan and a second value relating to a rate of pressure fluctuation are obtained. It can then be determined whether or not the mask is worn based on the first and second values. This provides a reliable detection of whether or not the mask is worn and it requires a small amount of sampling data of the fan rotation signal, hence saving power.
