The server 520 may transmit the client massage setting information to the second massage device 530 based on the received client identifier.

The second massage device 530 may execute step 544 to generate a massage map based on the client massage setting information. However, it is not limited to this. The step of generating a massage map may include the step of generating a new massage map by applying the client massage setting information to a predetermined original massage map. For example, the predetermined original massage pattern may include at least one of recovery mode, stretch, sleep mode, vitality mode, upper body auto, lower body auto, examinee mode, hip lift mode, golf mode, or nursing mode. The user can generate a new massage map by modifying a predetermined original massage map.

The recovery mode can be a massage mainly performed on the shoulders, back, and waist, or a massage centered on acupressure. Stretching can be a massage based on tapping and kneading, or a massage in which the legs and upper body are moved separately after lying down completely. The sleep mode can be a 30-minute process, and the soles of the feet are intensively massaged, and the massage that induces sleep slowly centered on the whole back is patted. The vitality mode can be a massage with simultaneous kneading and tapping and focusing on the shoulders. The upper body can automatically be performed mainly on the shoulders and back. It is a massage that focuses on the upper body in various modes such as tapping and acupressure. The lower body can be automatically massaged by the back roller, which mainly massages the buttocks and pelvis, and focuses on the lower body in various modes. The examinee mode can be performed mainly on the waist, and is a massage performed by adjusting the interval between the tapping and the hand-knife tapping. The hip-lifting mode alternates between tapping and kneading, and mainly massages the buttocks. Golf mode can be a shoulder-based massage by using tapping, kneading, acupressure/foot-based massage by using a foot roller. The nursing mode may be a massage mode that massages the tense muscles by moving up and down with acupressure and tapping, mainly from the shoulders to the waist.

The second massage device 530 may perform a step of changing the predetermined original massage map based on the client massage setting information.

The steps of generating a massage map or changing the original massage map can be performed through the following process. The second massage device 530 may obtain the massage specific gravity of each body part based on the client massage setting information. The massage proportion of each body part is the proportion of the massage time of each body part in the overall massage time. For example, the second massage device 530 acquires a massage specific gravity of 50:40:10 based on the client massage setting information, as the specific gravity for each body part of the shoulder, back and buttocks. The second massaging device 530 may store the massaging specific gravity of each body part in the storage unit.

The second massage device 530 may determine the time ratio of each massage action in the massage time of each body part to generate a massage map. At this time, the time ratio of each massage pattern in the massage time for each body part may be different for each body part.

The second massage device 530 can determine the time ratio of each massage mode in the massage time for each body part by considering the characteristics of each body part. The time ratio of each massage mode in the massage time for each body part may be determined according to a pre-stored algorithm or a pre-stored table.

For example, the specific gravity of the flapping motion on the waist or buttocks may be set to the maximum. In other words, for the waist, the tapping specific gravity in tapping, kneading, and acupressure may be determined as the maximum value, and for the waist, the tapping specific gravity may be determined as a value greater than any one of the kneading specific gravity and the acupressure specific gravity.

Compared to kneading and acupressure movements, the mechanical stimulation of slapping movements may be more intense, and therefore, larger and less sensitive to muscles such as the waist or hips than smaller and weaker muscles such as the neck or shoulders. Sensitive muscle ratios are delivered at a higher specific gravity.

In addition, since the mechanical stimulation of the tapping action is strong, there are users who tend not to like the tapping action. However, due to the strong mechanical stimulation of the tapping action, it has a good massage effect of relaxing muscles and is an essential component of massage. Therefore, the second massage device 530 can set the lower limit value of the proportion of the tapping action for each body part. The lower limit value of the flapping motion may be different for each body part. For example, the lower limit value of the ratio of the tapping action in the massage action for the neck or the shoulders may be set larger than the lower limit value of the ratio for the tapping action in the massage action for the back or buttocks.

In addition, for the neck or shoulders, the ratio of acupressure actions can be set to be the largest, and especially, for the shoulders, the ratio of swing actions can be set high. In other words, for the shoulder, the specific gravity of acupressure can be determined to be greater than either of the specific gravity of the tap and the specific gravity of the acupressure. Therefore, a properly stimulating massage can be provided to the neck or shoulders.

In addition, the time ratio of each massage mode in the massage time for each body part can be adjusted by the user's input. The second massage device 530 may adjust the time ratio of each massage mode in the massage time for the body part based on the user's input.

In the second massage device 530, the massage module 2170 moves along the main frame according to the massage diagram to perform the massage action. When the massage map is determined, the second massage device 530 can move the massage module 2170 along the main frame 2110 and drive the massage module 2170 according to the massage map. At this time, the second massage device 530 may move on the main frame 2110 according to the massage code and provide massage.

As described above, the massage intensity information may refer to the action speed of the actuator included in the massage module 2170, which is used for tapping, acupressure or kneading. In addition, the massage intensity information may refer to the protruding size of the massage module 2170 to the user (protrusion size on the Z-axis of the massage module).

The massage intensity information may indicate strong, medium and weak or strong, balanced and soft, and the like. The second massage device 530 may generate and modify a massage map based on the massage intensity information.

The second massage device 530 may determine the time ratio of each massage action in the massage time for each body part according to the massage intensity information. For example, the stronger the massage intensity information is, the second massage device 530 can increase the proportion of massage actions with strong intensity such as tapping and kneading, and decrease the proportion of massage actions with weak intensity such as acupressure and hand knife in the whole massage action .

Specifically, when the massage intensity information indicates "strong", the second massage device 530 can increase the specific gravity of the tapping and compound massage actions. Or, for example, when the massage intensity information is "balanced", the second massage device 530 may increase the specific gravity of the kneading massage action. Or, for example, when the massage intensity information is "soft", the second massage device 530 may increase the specific gravity of the massage actions of acupressure and hand knife.

The massage intensity information may be a control variable independent of the body preferred massage location information. Alternatively, the massage intensity information and the preferred massage position information may be satisfied simultaneously through the massage map and simultaneously satisfy the requirements. When any one of the massage intensity information and the preferred massage part information is satisfied, the time ratio of each massage mode in the massage time for each body part can be determined.

The generated massage map can be displayed on the output part of the second massage device 530 . The user can accept a massage that reflects the client's massage setting information by selecting the generated massage map.

In the second massage device 530, the massage module 2170 moves along the main frame according to the massage diagram to perform the massage action. When the massage map is determined, the second massage device 530 can move the massage module 2170 along the main frame 2110 and drive the massage module 2170 according to the massage map. At this time, the massage module 2170 may move on the main frame 2110 according to the massage code and provide massage.

The second massage device 530 may derive the client's shoulder height information based on the client's massage setting information. The second massage device 530 may not perform the step of measuring the shoulder height through the massage module. Therefore, the second massage device 530 can omit the process of measuring the shoulder height before starting the massage. The second massage device 530 may perform the step of providing massage based on shoulder height information. Satisfaction can be increased since the user can receive only the desired massage from the massage device without the need for a measurement process.

The second massage device 530 may perform the step of displaying client massage setting information. Based on the user's input, the second massage device 530 may perform a step of modifying the client massage setting information. In addition, based on the modified client massage setting information, the second massage device 530 may perform the step of generating a massage map. Although the second massage device 530 can generate a new massage map based on the modified client massage setting information, it can also modify an existing massage map.

The second massage device 530 may perform the step of transmitting the modified client massage setting information to the server 520 . Additionally, the server 520 may perform the step of storing the modified client massage setting information corresponding to the client identifier.

Figure 6 is a diagram related to a massage map generated in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the massage map may be composed of a plurality of massage codes C1 , C2 , C3 , and C4 executed in sequence. The massage code includes information related to the part of the body being massaged, the mode of massage, the intensity of the massage, and the like, the massage being the massage that is provided at a specific time period in the total time that the massage is provided.

When receiving information such as massaging specific gravity of each body part, massaging specific gravity and massaging intensity of each massage mode through the user input and output unit 2180 , the second massage device 530 can generate a plurality of massage codes based on the information. The generated massage codes can be randomly arranged, or can be arranged according to a pre-stored algorithm, and according to an embodiment, the massage codes can be kept in order and arranged repeatedly. The second massage device 530 can perform massage according to the massage codes in a predetermined time period according to a predetermined sequence, so as to provide massage according to a massage code set, that is, a massage map.

The table shown in FIG. 6 is only a method of displaying the information included in each massage code, and the information included in the massage code is not limited to the information shown in FIG. 6 or realized in the form shown in FIG. 6 .

Depending on the position of the massage module 2170 at the end of the previous massage code C1 and the position of the massage module 2170 at the beginning of the next executed massage code C2, the time a1 for the massage module 2170 to move may be required. Therefore, the second massage device 530 can generate a massage map by considering the movement time a1 of the massage module 1700 that moves to execute the two consecutive massage codes C1, C2 in the massage codes.

The entire time for executing the massage map is the sum of the execution times t1 , t2 , t3 , and t4 of each massage code C1 , C2 , C3 , and C4 and the movement times a1 , a2 , a3 , and a4 of the massage module 1700 . According to an embodiment, the movement time of the massage module 2170 may also be calculated by including the execution time of the adjacent massage codes.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a massage map generated from the massaging specific gravity of each body part and the massaging specific gravity of each massage method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 300 of the second massage device 530 determines different time ratios D1, D2 and D3 for each body part according to the massaging specific gravity A of each part and the massaging specific gravity of each massage mode, so that a massage map can be generated. D2 and D3 are the time ratios of each massage mode in the massage time for each body part, the massage proportion A of each part is the ratio of the massage time to each body part in the whole massage time, and the massage proportion of each massage mode is It is the time ratio B of each massage mode in the whole massage time.

The second massage device 530 can determine the time ratio D of each massage mode in the massage time for each body part, so that the time ratio of the massage performed on each body part is the same as the pre-stored massage specific gravity A of each body part, and makes The time ratio for executing each massage mode is the same as the massage specific gravity B of each massage mode stored in advance.

For example, the sum of x1y1, x2y1, and x3y1, which is the execution time of the massage for the shoulders, the sum of x1y2, x2y2, and x3y2, which is the execution time of the massage for the back, and the sum of x1y3, x2y3, and x3y3, which is the execution time of the massage for the buttocks The ratio of A can be determined to be consistent with 50:40:10 as the pre-stored massage specific gravity A for each body part of the shoulders, back and buttocks.

For example, the ratio of the sum of x1y1, x1y2, and x1y3 as the tapping action time, the sum of x2y1, x2y2, and x2y3 as the kneading action time, and the sum of x3y1, x3y2, and x3y3 may be determined to be the same as the pre-stored pair of tapping, The massage specific gravity B of each action of kneading and acupressure is the same as 30:20:10.

At this time, the time ratio D of each massage mode in the massage time of each body part may be different for each body part. For example, the time ratio of tapping, kneading and acupressure performed on the shoulders was D1, the time ratio of tapping, kneading and acupressure performed on the waist was D2, and the time of tapping, kneading and acupressure performed on the hips Than D3 can be different from each other.

The second massage device 530 can determine the time ratio D of each massage mode in the massage time of each body part by considering the characteristics of each body part. According to the characteristics of each body part, the time ratio D of each massage mode in the massage time of each body part can be determined according to a pre-stored algorithm.

For example, in order to generate a massage map, the second massage device 530 may generate a massage map by applying differential information predetermined according to each massage part to at least one of massage method information, massage intensity information and air pressure massage intensity information.

In addition, in the second massage device 530, the massaging specific gravity A of each part and the massaging specific gravity B of each mode can be respectively the same as the pre-stored values, and at the same time, considering the characteristics of each body part, each massage mode in the massage time of each body part The time ratio D may vary according to each body part.
