The steps SD3 and SD5 to SD7 shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 11 are performed in a state where the potential therapy device 10 and the wearable device 20 have established a Bluetooth communication connection.

The user wears the wearable device 20 on the wrist and sits on a chair on which the conductive sheet 11 is laid on the seat surface. The user who is seated in the chair or a person related to the user performs an operation instructing the start of treatment on the operation unit 101. When the operation for instructing the start of treatment is performed, the control unit 100 controls the high voltage circuit 106 and outputs a high voltage signal to the conductive sheet 11 (step SD1). Further, the control unit 100 (display control unit 1002) controls the display 103 and displays the voltage of the signal output by the high voltage circuit 106 (step SD2).

Further, the control unit 100 (transmission / reception unit 1001) controls the communication unit 102 and transmits a message indicating that a signal is output to the conductive sheet 11 to the wearable device 20 (step SD3). When the communication unit 202 receives the message, the control unit 200 outputs a sound signal to the speaker 206 (step SD4). As a result, the sound is output from the speaker 206, and the user or a person concerned with the user can know that the potential therapy device 10 is outputting the signal. The sound output from the speaker 206 may be output for a predetermined time.

Further, the control unit 100 controls the communication unit 102 and transmits a request message requesting the transmission of information to the wearable device 20 (step SD5). When the communication unit 202 receives the request message, the control unit 200 (transmission / reception unit 2001) obtains heart rate information indicating the heart rate, body temperature information indicating the body temperature, and blood pressure information indicating the blood pressure measured by the sensor of the sensor unit 205. The communication unit 202 is controlled and transmitted to the potential therapy device 10 (step SD6).

The control unit 100 (transmission / reception unit 1001) receives the heart rate information, the body temperature information, and the blood pressure information transmitted from the wearable device 20 (step SD7). When the control unit 100 receives the heart rate information, the body temperature information, and the blood pressure information, the control unit 100 controls the display 103 and displays the received information as a graph in an area other than the area where the voltage is displayed (step SD8). ). Here, the control unit 100 may display the heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure in a graph at the same time, or display only the heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure selected by the user or a person concerned with the user in a graph. You may.

The electric potential therapy device 10 and the wearable device 20 repeatedly execute the processes of steps SD3 to SD8 at a predetermined cycle.

When a predetermined time elapses after the operation for instructing the start of treatment is performed, the control unit 100 controls the high voltage circuit 106 and stops the output of the signal to the conductive sheet 11 (step SD100).

According to the fourth embodiment, the user or a person concerned with the user can know at hand by the wearable device 20 that the electric potential treatment device 10 is outputting a signal.

Further, since the processing of steps SE1 to SE6 is the same as the processing of steps SA1 to SA6, the description thereof will be omitted.

When the acceleration sensor of the sensor unit 205 measures the acceleration, the control unit 200 (transmission / reception unit 2001) transmits acceleration information (an example of physical condition data according to the present invention) indicating the measured acceleration to the potential therapy device 10 (step). SE7). The control unit 100 (transmission / reception unit 1001) receives the acceleration information transmitted from the wearable device 20 (step SE8). The control unit 100 determines the user's state from the acceleration indicated by the received acceleration information (step SE9). When the control unit 100 (voltage control unit 1003) determines from the acceleration information that the user is moving, the control unit 100 controls the high voltage circuit 106 and stops the output of the signal to the conductive sheet 11 (step SE10).

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the user from continuing to output a signal when moving away from the conductive sheet 11.

In the fifth embodiment, when the control unit 100 determines from the acceleration information that the movement of the user has been completed, the high voltage circuit 106 may be controlled to restart the output of the signal to the conductive sheet 11. Further, in the fifth embodiment, the control unit 100 may determine the user's gesture from the acceleration information, and may change the voltage of the signal output to the conductive sheet 11 according to the determined gesture. Further, in the fifth embodiment, the signal output to the conductive sheet 11 by the control unit 1100 may be changed. For example, the signal may be changed from direct current to alternating current or from alternating current to direct current according to the gesture. You may.

Further, the electric potential treatment device 10 may change the voltage of the signal output to the conductive sheet 11 according to at least one of the received heart rate information, body temperature information, and blood pressure information. For example, the potential therapy device 10 may change the voltage of the output signal or stop the output of the signal when the heart rate indicated by the heart rate information exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Further, the potential therapy device 10 may change the voltage of the output signal or stop the output of the signal when the body temperature indicated by the body temperature information exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Further, the potential therapy device 10 may change the voltage of the output signal or stop the output of the signal when the blood pressure indicated by the blood pressure information exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
