Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating an external device that may communicate with the massage device 1000, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The massage device 1000 can communicate with the external device 3000 through the communication section 1420 by wired and/or wireless, and transmit and receive various data.

The external device 3000 may include a portable electronic apparatus 3100, such as an AI speaker, a tablet computer, or a smart phone. The portable electronic device 3100 may be a dedicated or general purpose portable electronic device for the massage apparatus 1000. In addition, the external device 3000 may include a wearable apparatus 3200 such as a smart watch and/or a smart bracelet. The external device 3000 may include other massage apparatuses 3300 in addition to the massage apparatus 1000 that the user is now using. The external device 3000 may include a hospital server 3400. The external device 3000 may include a Personal Health Record (PHR) server. In addition, the external device 3000 may include a cloud server 3500. The external device 3000 may include a medical measurement apparatus such as an electronic scale, a blood glucose meter, or a blood pressure meter.

Although a partial example of the external device 3000 has been described in the present invention, it should be understood that any apparatus that can communicate with the massage device 1000 by wire or wirelessly and can transmit and receive information to and from each other may be included in the external device.

The control part 1400 may set the preferred standby information for the user of the massage module 100 based on the input of the user (step S5100). At this time, as described above, the input of the user may be received (or sensed, obtained) through at least one of the interface section 1450 and an external device (or external apparatus) that communicates with the massage apparatus 1000.

For example, the preferred standby information may be detailed information about the massage module 100 in a state where the massage apparatus 1000 is driven and the massage mode is ended. The preferred standby information may be set by a user and stored in the memory 1430.

The preferred standby information may include information of at least one of a preferred standby position and a preferred standby intensity of the massage module 100, which is set by the user to put the massage module 100 in a standby state.

The first standby position may be a position where the massage module 100 is standby in a state where the massage apparatus 1000 is driven and the massage mode is ended. For example, the preferred standby information may be a user-selected area among the entire area of the main frame 1110. At this time, the entire area may be a moving path along which the massage module 100 moves.

The first standby intensity may be the intensity of the massage module 100 that is standby at the first standby position in a state where the massage apparatus 1000 is driven and the massage mode is ended. For example, the preferred standby intensity may be a user selected intensity among the plurality of intensities (or plurality of massage intensities) of the massage module 100. At this time, the plurality of intensities may be decided based on the extent to which the massage module 100 advances and retreats in at least one of the forward and backward directions of the massage module 100. The more the massage module 100 moves forward of the massage module 100, the stronger the intensity of the massage device, and the more moves rearward of the massage module 100, the weaker.

The control unit 1400 may determine at least one of a standby position of the massage module 100 in the main frame 1110 and a standby intensity of the massage module 100 for pressurizing the user' S body at the standby position based on at least one of whether the massage mode of the massage apparatus 1000 is ended and the first-choice standby information (step S5300). For example, when the massage mode of the massage apparatus 1000 is ended, the control section 100 may determine at least one of the standby position and the standby intensity of the massage module 100 based on the first-selected standby information.

The control part 1400 may control the operation of the massage module 100 based on at least one of the standby position and the standby intensity (step S5500).

As described above, when the massage mode is finished, the control part 1400 controls the position and intensity of the massage module 100 according to the user's preferred position and intensity, so that a user's customized sitting feel can be provided to a user who wants to sit on the massage apparatus 1000 even when no massage is provided.

Thus, the control part 1400 can improve the user's satisfaction of the massage device use by improving the sitting satisfaction of the user sitting on the massage device 1000 and the sleeping satisfaction of the user sleeping.

That is, the control unit 1400 can reflect the user's demand for sitting on the massage device 1000 to the operation control of the massage device 1000, thereby improving the user's satisfaction with the use of the massage device 1000.

The control section 1400 may set at least one of the preferred standby position and the preferred standby intensity (step S5100).

For example, the control part 1400 may activate a setting mode for setting the first-choice standby information before executing the massage mode of the massage apparatus 1000 (step S5110). For example, the control part 1400 may activate the setting mode at least one point in time from a point in time when the massage apparatus 1000 is driven to a point in time before the massage mode is performed. The control part 1400 may not activate the setting mode during the execution of the massage mode.

The control part 1400 may set at least one of the preferred standby position and the preferred standby intensity in the setting mode based on the input of the user (step S5130).

For example, the control part 1400 may enter the setting mode based on a setting mode selection input of the user.

The control part 1400 may set at least one of the preferred standby position and the preferred standby intensity based on an additional input of the user input in a state of entering the setting mode. At this time, the additional input may include at least one of a user's change input and a user's setting input. The change input may be an input for changing at least one of a position and an intensity of the massage module 100, and the setting input may be an input for setting a preferred standby position and a preferred standby intensity.

Specifically, the control part 1400 may change at least one of the position and intensity of the massage module 100 in response to a change input of the user. The change input may include a user's position change input and a user's intensity change input. The position change input may be an input for changing the position of the massage module 100 and the intensity change input may be an input for changing the intensity of the massage module 100.

When receiving the position change input, the control part 1400 may change the position of the massage module 100 by moving the massage module 100 in response to the position change input of the user. For example, the control part 1400 may move (or move up and down) the massage module 100 in at least one of an upper direction and a lower direction of the massage module 100 in response to the position change input.

When the position change input is not received, the control part 1400 may maintain the position of the massage module 100.

When the intensity change input is received, the control part 1400 may change the intensity of the massage module 100 by adjusting the intensity of the massage module 100 in response to the intensity change input. For example, the control part 1400 may adjust the intensity of the massage module 100 by moving (or advancing and retreating) the massage module 100 in at least one of the front and rear directions of the massage module 100 in response to the intensity change input.

When the intensity change input is not received, the control part 1400 may maintain the intensity of the massage module 100.

The control part 1400 may set the preferred standby position and the preferred standby intensity in response to the setting input. For example, the control unit 1400 may determine the position of the massage module 100 at the time point when the setting input is received as the first standby position. The control unit 1400 may determine the intensity of the massage module 100 at the time point when the setting input is received as the preferred standby intensity.

The control unit 1400 may determine at least one of the standby position and the standby intensity of the massage module 100 based on at least one of whether the massage mode is ended and the preferred standby information (step S5300).

First, the control unit 1400 may determine whether or not the massage mode of the massage device 1000 is ended (step S5310).

For example, the control unit 1400 may control the operation of the massage apparatus 1000 to an operation corresponding to the massage mode selected by the user by executing the massage mode selected by the user among the plurality of massage modes. At this time, the plurality of massage modes may be massage modes that the massage apparatus 1000 can provide.

The control unit 1400 monitors the operation of the massage device 1000, and determines whether or not the massage mode selected by the user is ended based on whether or not the operation of the massage device 1000 corresponds to the massage mode selected by the user.

When the massage apparatus 1000 performs all actions corresponding to the massage mode selected by the user, the control section 1400 may judge that the massage mode selected by the user has ended (or completed).

Thereafter, the control part 1400 may determine at least one of the standby position and the standby intensity of the massage module 100 based on the determination result and the preferred standby information (step S5330).

When the massage mode is finished, the control unit 1400 may determine the standby position as the preferred standby position and the standby intensity as the preferred standby intensity.

The control unit 1400 may control the operation of the massage module 100 based on at least one of the standby position and the standby intensity of the massage module 100 (step S5500).

When the massage mode is finished, the control unit 1400 may stop the operation of the massage device 1000 (step S5510). For example, the control part 1400 may stop the actions of specific structures included in the massage device 1000, such as the actions of the body massage part 1100, the arm massage part 1200, the leg massage part 1300, the actuators of the massage device 1000, the massage module 100, and the like. At this time, the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 may be the angle of the massage device 1000 corresponding to the point of time when the massage mode ends.

The control unit 1400 may control the operation of the massage module 100 based on the standby position and the standby intensity of the massage module 100 (step S5530).

For example, the control part 1400 may move the position of the massage module 100 to the standby position of the massage module 100 and control the position of the massage module 100. At this time, the position of the massage module 100 may be an area where the massage module 100 is positioned when the massage apparatus 1000 is stopped in the entire area of the main frame 1110.

When the position of the massage module 100 is the same as the standby position, the control part 1400 may maintain the position of the massage module 100.

When the position of the massage module 100 is lower than the standby position, the control unit 1400 may move the massage module 100 upward of the massage module 100, thereby moving the massage module 100 to the standby position.

When the position of the massage module 100 is higher than the standby position, the control unit 1400 may move the massage module 100 downward below the massage module 100, thereby moving the massage module 100 to the standby position.

The control part 1400 may control the intensity of the massage module 100 by adjusting the intensity of the massage module 100 to the standby intensity of the massage module 100. At this time, the intensity of the massage module 100 may be the intensity of the massage module 100 corresponding to the point of time when the massage apparatus 1000 is stopped, among the plurality of intensities.

When the intensity of the massage module 100 is the same as the standby intensity, the control part 1400 may maintain the intensity of the massage module 100.

When the intensity of the massage module 100 is lower than the standby intensity, the control part 1400 may adjust the intensity of the massage module 100 to the standby intensity by moving the massage module 100 to the front of the massage module 100.

When the intensity of the massage module 100 is higher than the standby intensity, the control part 1400 may adjust the intensity of the massage module 100 to the standby intensity by moving the massage module 100 to the rear of the massage module 100.

The control unit 1400 may maintain the operation of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 (step S5550). Next, step S5550 will be described in detail.

The control unit 1400 may maintain the operation of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 (step S5550).

First, the control unit 1400 may maintain the operation of the massage module 100 (step S5551). For example, the control part 1400 may maintain the position and strength of the massage module 100 after controlling the position and strength of the massage module 100. The control unit 1400 can maintain the operation of the stopped massage module 100 by stopping the operation of the massage module 100.

After that, the control part 1400 may control the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 based on whether the preset standby angle is the same as the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 (step S5553). At this time, the standby angle is preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430. The standby angle is an angle suitable for the user to stand by in the massage device 1000, and may be an angle that tilts the massage device 1000 to the rear of the massage device 1000 as much as possible, but is not limited thereto. The standby angle may be set to various angles, such as at least one of about 130 degrees, about 150 degrees, about 170 degrees, and the like, as the weightless angle.

When the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 is different from the standby angle, the control section 1400 may change the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 by the above-described actuator. For example, the control unit 1400 may change the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 to the standby angle by tilting the stopped massage device 1000 in at least one of the front and rear directions of the massage device 1000 based on the standby angle.

When the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 is the same as the standby angle, the control section 1400 may maintain the angle of the stopped massage device 1000.

As described above, when the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 is different from the standby angle, the control section 1400 changes the angle of the stopped massage device 1000, but is not limited thereto. For example, even when the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 is different from the standby angle, the control unit 1400 may maintain the angle of the stopped massage device 1000.

The control unit 1400 may maintain the operation of the stopped massage device 1000 (step S5555). For example, the control unit 1400 may maintain the operation of the specific structure of the stopped massage device 1000 in a stopped state.

As described in fig. 5 to 9, the control unit 1400 can maintain the operation of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 by executing steps S5100 to S5500.

The control unit 1400 may control (re-control) the operations of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 again based on whether or not a control signal for changing the operations of the massage device 1000 is generated after maintaining the operations of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 (step S5700).

When the control signal is not generated, the control part 1400 may maintain the operations of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000.

When the control signal is generated, the control part 1400 may change the actions of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000. Next, the operation of changing the operation of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 will be described in detail.

The control signal may be at least one of an angle change signal that changes the angle of the massage device 1000 to a preset initial angle and an end signal that ends the massage device 1000. The control signal may be generated by an input of a user received through at least one of the interface section 1450 and the external device. The control signal may be at least one of the interface section 1450 and the external device generated based on an input of the user and transmitted to the control section 1400 or the control section 1400 generated based on an input of the user received through at least one of the interface section 1450 and the external device.

The initial angle may be preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430. The initial angle is an angle suitable for the user to sit on the massage device 1000, and may be an angle that tilts the massage device 1000 as far as possible in front of the massage device 1000, but is not limited thereto. For example, the initial angle may be set to at least one of various angles, such as about 90 degrees, about 100 degrees, and about 110 degrees, etc. As described above, the initial angle and the standby angle are different from each other, and the initial angle may be an angle smaller than the standby angle.

When the control signal is generated, the control part 1400 may control the actions of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 again by changing the actions of the massage module 100 and the stopped massage device 1000 (step S5700).

First, the control part 1400 may change the position and intensity of the massage module 100 based on the initial standby information set in advance (step S5710).

For example, the initial standby information may be detailed information of the massage module 100 in a state (or an undriven state) in which the massage apparatus 100 ends. The initial standby information may be preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430.

The initial standby information may include at least one of information about an initial standby position and an initial standby intensity of the massage module 100, which are preset to put the massage module 100 in a standby state.

The initial standby position may be a position for causing the massage module 100 to stand by in a state where the massage apparatus 1000 ends. For example, the initial standby position may be any one of the areas set in advance in the entire area of the main frame 1110. Specifically, the initial standby position may be an uppermost region in the entire region of the main frame 1110, but is not limited thereto. For example, the initial standby position may be set to at least one of various areas, such as an area at the lowermost end, an area in the middle, and the like, among the entire area of the main frame 1110.

The initial standby intensity may be an intensity at which the massage module 100 is standby at the initial standby position in a state where the massage apparatus 1000 ends. For example, the initial standby intensity may include information about at least one of the initial standby intensities, which is any one of the intensities preset in advance. Specifically, the initial standby intensity may be the weakest intensity among the plurality of intensities, but is not limited thereto. For example, the initial standby intensity may be set to at least one of various intensities, such as the strongest intensity among the plurality of intensities and the intermediate intensity, etc.

The control part 1400 may change the position of the massage module 100 based on the initial standby position. For example, the control part 1400 may change the position of the massage module 100 by moving the position of the massage module 100 from the first-selected standby position to the initial standby position.

The control part 1400 may change the intensity of the massage module 100 based on the initial standby intensity set in advance. For example, the control part 1400 may change the intensity of the massage module 100 by changing the intensity of the massage module 100 from the first standby intensity to the initial standby intensity.

After that, the control part 1400 may change the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 based on the initial angle (step S5730). For example, the control part 1400 tilts the stopped massage device 1000 in at least one of the front and rear directions of the massage device 1000 based on the initial angle, so that the angle of the stopped massage device 1000 can be changed.

Finally, the control unit 1400 may control the operations of the modified massage module 100 and the modified massage device 1000 based on whether the control signal is an end signal (step S5750).

When the control signal is an angle change signal, the control part 1400 may maintain the actions of the changed massage module 100 and the changed massage device 1000.

When the control signal is an end signal, the control unit 1400 may end the operation of the changed massage device 1000.

As described above, when the massage mode is ended and the control signal is not generated, the control unit 1400 moves the position of the massage module 100 to the first standby position, and adjusts the intensity of the massage module 100 to the first standby intensity, thereby maintaining the operation of the massage module 100 and the operation of the massage device 1000.

As described above, when the massage mode is ended and the control signal is generated, the control part 1400 moves the position of the massage module 100 to the initial standby position, and adjusts the intensity of the massage module 100 to the initial standby intensity, and then the operation of the massage module 100 and the operation of the massage apparatus 1000 can be ended or maintained.

The control part 1400 may visualize the preferred standby position and the preferred standby intensity through at least one of the interface part 1450 and the external device.

For example, the control part 1400 may visualize the entire area of the main frame 1110 and the plurality of intensities of the massage module 100 through at least one display in the interface part 1450 and the external device. At this time, the entire area may be visualized as a display (display) 1, which is a form of displaying the position of each area, and a plurality of intensities may be visualized as a display 2, which is a form of displaying the force of each intensity.

The control part 1400 may visualize a preferred standby position as a user-selected area in the entire area of the main frame 1110 and a preferred standby intensity as a user-selected intensity among a plurality of intensities. At this time, the preferred standby position may be visualized as a display 3, which is an area corresponding to the massage module 100 in the entire area, and the preferred standby intensity may be visualized as a display 4, which is an intensity selected by the user among the plurality of intensities.

For example, the control section 1400 may visualize the preferred standby position and the preferred standby intensity by making the display 3 and the display 4 emit light. As for the first-choice standby position, the boundary line of the form corresponding to the first-choice standby position may emit light by at least one of lighting and blinking. As for the preferred standby intensity, a number representing the intensity may be visualized. As for the first standby intensity, the inside of the form corresponding to the first standby intensity may emit light by at least one of lighting and blinking.

The technical idea of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, but this is merely an exemplary preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. In addition, it will be understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that various modifications and simulations may be performed without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.

In addition, the structure and function of the massage device of the present specification can be extended and applied to various (wearable) health care devices that can provide health care functions (e.g., massage functions, biosignal measurement functions, etc.). Accordingly, the "massage device" in this specification may be replaced with a "(wearable) health device" for illustration.
