At least two actuators are provided that emit electromagnetic fields with different frequencies.

Description

The invention relates to a device for emitting electromagnetic fields to body areas according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 15.

Devices for emitting electromagnetic fields are known. These devices are used to promote well-being and health. Using these devices, physical and / or psychological ailments can be prevented. For this purpose, the energy system of a user is exposed to the electromagnetic field of the device. The application of certain areas of the body leads to a solution of a blockage in the energy system, so that a health-promoting effect is produced.

Such a conventional device is in the US 7,785,245 B2 shown, wherein a coil assembly is taught in a flexible, elastic support. This device enables attachment to different areas of the body so that different points of the energy system can be treated. However, the device only offers the possibility of using one type of actuator to irradiate the body areas with a field. The frequency of the electromagnetic field can be varied, but the variation is only possible in a very limited range.

The US 8 137 257 B1 discloses a device with permanent magnets that can be arranged in the temple area by means of a bracket. Here the user has an even more limited magnetic field available for the application of energy to the energy system, which is even static and has no electrical components.

Another device is in the US 6,924,434 B2 shown. The device comprises a coil arrangement which is formed along a flexible band-shaped element which can be wrapped around parts of the body of the user. This device also does not offer the possibility of having different electromagnetic fields act on the energy system.

In the DE 37 82 784 T2 describes a device that is adapted to a body region. An adjustment device is provided which enables the diameter
a coil so that it can be attached to body parts of different diameters. An electromagnetic field can thus be introduced into the body area. However, only one actuator is provided that generates one type of electromagnetic field.

For example, in the US 2013/0261 374 A1 a device is shown which can vary an electromagnetic field in a frequency range from 1 to 25 kHz. The operating device can itself comprise one or more coil arrangements or these are arranged, for example, in a band-shaped or cuff-shaped element. The coil arrangements are all of the same type and thus they send out the same field simultaneously.

In the EP 0 927 066 B1 a device is shown, which is located in a headphone in the area of the ears. The device generates an alternating electromagnetic field with an adjustable, low frequency, which is selected such that the frequency is below 20 Hz, in particular between 3 and 15 Hz. However, only one type of field can be created here.

Due to the restriction to only one type of field at the same time, the conventional devices are not able to simultaneously apply and advantageously influence the energy system of a user with different electromagnetic fields.

The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which at least two different electromagnetic fields can be generated. Another object is to provide a method that operates such a device.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by the features of the independent claim.

The device according to the invention for applying electromagnetic fields to body areas comprises at least one actuator for the electromagnetic fields and a controller driving the actuator, the device having a structure which arranges the actuator on the body area to be applied. It is proposed to arrange at least two actuators in the device, the actuators emitting electromagnetic fields with different frequencies. In contrast to a static magnetic field, as generated by a permanent magnet, a vibrating magnetic field with an electrical component manifests itself according to the Maxwell equations, so that the vibrating magnetic field is an electromagnetic field. For example, at least one actuator could emit electromagnetic fields in the low frequency and another actuator in the visible light frequency range, which radiate onto a body area. Consequently Different types of fields can simultaneously affect a user's energy system and develop psychological and physiological synergies that are beneficial for the health and well-being of the user.

In particular, the limbic system can be positively influenced by means of the electromagnetic fields in order to be able to process negative past experiences better. The targeted stimulation of the four main brain meridians (two bladder meridians and two gallbladder meridians) by the device according to the invention brings about a reduction in psychological stress after a short time and increases well-being. The device also improves communication between the two halves of the brain, counteracting a reduction in the number of brain cells. After using the device according to the invention, the reduced psychological stress due to the negative experiences of the past is stored in the limbic system, so that the user of the device as a whole develops a more positive attitude towards his past. This counteracts stress and adverse biochemical processes in the brain, which promotes the health of a user. Furthermore, the device releases blockages of the energy system containing the meridians, so that an energy flow through the body is improved. Such a device according to the invention additionally produces an anti-aging effect.

Stroke patients can also be advantageously treated by stimulating the energy system. In particular, the device supports the return of motor skills to stroke patients. Frequencies can act on meridians in certain time frames. Long-term use is particularly advantageous.

With the described device, it is possible to implement a variety of treatment options inexpensively and effectively both innovatively and effectively. In particular, the construction of the device is simple and inexpensive.

The subclaims represent advantageous embodiments of the invention.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the first actuator can be an electromagnet, the essential field orientation of which is perpendicular to a surface of the body area, the electromagnet being in particular an electrical coil. The electromagnet can be provided from at least one turn. The turn can be a wire or a conductor printed on a foil. At least the field lines penetrate into the body area within the winding and can advantageously stimulate the energy system there. The coil can be placed directly on the body surface. It is also conceivable that the coil is spaced from the body surface. This enables particularly effective magnet therapy to be carried out.

Advantageously, the first actuator can generate an electromagnetic field that changes with a certain frequency through the control, the certain frequency preferably being between 1 to 15 Hz, but in particular being 7.83 Hz. Preferably, in the case of an actuator which builds up a magnetic field by induction, it can be advantageous to use a current with a change over time. Alternating current is preferred here. Low-frequency electromagnetic fields have a particularly good effect on the energy system, although the Schumann resonance at 7.83 Hz can be very effective. Schumann resonance is a frequency at which an electromagnetic wave forms a standing wave along the circumference of the earth.

It can be cleverly provided that the second actuator is a light source, such as a light-emitting diode, which emits a continuous or flashing light. This light is sensed through the body surface and / or the eyes. This advantageously influences the user's energy system. In addition to the magnetic field therapy, the device with the second actuator as the light source can also provide a light therapy. This enables the energy system to be treated holistically.

The energy system is particularly advantageously influenced by the second actuator when the second actuator emits a light in the red and / or green and / or yellow and / or blue and / or violet spectral range. Furthermore, the light can also emit other colors or be continuously adjusted through the entire spectrum of light wavelengths. In addition to visible light, infrared and / or ultraviolet light wavelengths can also be emitted. The different wavelengths can produce different effects on the energy system. For example, the color yellow corresponds to the color of sunlight and has a positive effect on the user. The color yellow in particular promotes the strength, vitality and warmth of the user. The color yellow also has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Alternatively or in addition, the color blue can act on the user, thereby promoting harmony, satisfaction and inner peace. The color blue has a calming and relaxing effect on a user, so that he can reduce stress. In particular, muscle spasms caused by the energy balancing blue light can be relaxed. Violet light can very advantageously transmit impulses to the nervous system and thus improve the overall functioning of the nervous system. Violet light can also have an advantageous effect on the digestive tract, the colon in particular being strengthened. In addition, fears and negative self-concepts can be solved by the violet light.

The controller can expediently conduct an alternating current, preferably as a square-wave current, through the first actuator, the alternating current being generated by a trigger circuit in the controller. The flip-flop can be set up using a NE555 timer IC. A voltage divider and a capacitor can be connected in the multivibrator and set the switching behavior. In this way, a purely positive AC voltage, that is to say an AC voltage with an offset which is at least as large as the amplitude, can be generated. Alternatively, a sine generator for the alternating current can be used, which preferably has only a positive voltage.

A special embodiment can include that the control for the actuators can be regulated, so that the spectral range of the light, the light intensity, the operating mode of the light and / or the frequency of the changing electromagnetic field can in particular be continuously adjusted. As a result, the controller can be connected to an operating element. The control element is in particular a touch screen display. Alternatively, the control element can be a mobile phone, a smartphone, a computer, a smartpad or a smartwatch. A program provided specifically for operating the device can be used for this purpose. A particularly simple embodiment of the device can comprise a control system which has only a rotary or slide button, a push button or push button for setting the actuators. The actuators can be adjusted continuously or in discrete steps. For example, the light can be operated as a flashing or continuously glowing light and the color of the light can be additionally changed. Furthermore, the electromagnetic field can be continuously adjusted, for example, from 1 Hz to 15 Hz or beyond, it being possible for the discrete value of the Schumann frequency of 7.83 Hz to be set precisely using an operating process. For example, a separate button for the Schumann frequency can be provided.

The controller can be connected wirelessly to at least one actuator, the controller being arranged on a section of the device or being formed separately from a section with an actuator, the controller being in particular a smartphone. For this purpose, the actuator has an antenna for receiving and preferably transmitting. A second controller is connected to the antenna and the actuator. The main controller is connected to the actuator by means of a radio signal, which is sent via its own antenna. Control can take place, for example, using Bluetooth.

The device can have, in particular, a lithium-based battery and / or a microcontroller with integrated radio technology. In particular, the actuators are connected to a rechargeable battery, so that the device can be designed to be portable. The battery can be lithium-based. Alternatively, the device can be connected to conventional mains electricity, such as is available in a household. Instead of the flip-flop, the microcontroller can be used, which enables very precise frequency settings. In particular, the Schumann frequency, which is particularly advantageous for the energy system, can be set precisely.

In order to advantageously arrange the device on the body areas, it can be provided that the device is designed as a piece of clothing or jewelry. For example, the device can be arranged on the head, in each case at least one electromagnet being positioned in the region of the temples and / or the two half faces of the face and / or the cheeks. Such a device for the head can be designed as headgear, with glasses, a headband, a cap, a clip, a band, a headscarf being realized. Additionally or alternatively, the device can be arranged around the neck, the device comprising a necklace, a belt, a scarf and / or a ribbon. In addition or as an alternative, the device can be arranged on a hand and / or a foot by means of a glove, a shoe, a bracelet and / or a foot strap, wherein at least one actuator can be arranged in the region of the fingers or toes, respectively, and / or it can be pants and / or a shirt, an actuator being arranged in the region of the spine and / or the coccyx and / or the shoulders and / or knee joints. A wide variety of body areas can thereby be acted upon by the device.

The different, differently designed devices can also be combined in an overall, so that a user only needs to put on the overall in order to act on all parts of the body simultaneously or individually.

At least one light source of the second actuator can advantageously be arranged between the eyebrows. The light from the light source shines in the eyes of the user and can therefore be used directly for light therapy. Furthermore, a light source can be arranged in the area of the hands and feet so that the light can shine on the body areas.

In a special way, the device can comprise a flexible spiral bracket that can be rolled up from its spiral shape, so that its diameter can be changed, wherein the bracket can in particular have a spring steel and / or an elastic plastic. Since the bow has a variable diameter, the bow can be placed around the neck, head, arm, leg, chest and / or waist, for example. Furthermore, the bracket can be rolled up completely so that it is stretched and can be arranged on the body surface along the body height of the user, for example. This allows the bracket to be used on a wide range of body areas with different dimensions. The bracket can have connecting means with which free ends of the bracket can be connected to one another. A set diameter can be fixed by the connecting means.

The advantageous bracket can have fastening points for at least one actuator each at its free ends and / or between the free ends. In this way, actuators can be arranged on the bracket that point radially inward and are directed towards the body surface when the bracket is arranged. Furthermore, an actuator can be positioned perpendicular to the radial direction of the bracket, that is to say axially to the rolling direction of the bracket. As a result, the body areas can be acted upon by the bracket in different ways.

In particular, it is advantageous to provide the actuator as a flat arrangement of metal threads. The metal threads can lie side by side, woven, braided, knitted, knitted and / or crocheted. An electromagnetic field can either be generated and / or guided by the metal threads and applied to an area of the body.

The device can be operated in such a way that the actuators simultaneously apply a low-frequency electromagnetic field to one body area and a light to another and / or the same body area. The first actuator can emit an electromagnetic field with a frequency in the invisible range and the second actuator can emit a preferably continuously shining light. As a result, magnetic therapy and light therapy can be carried out at the same time.

It goes without saying that the features mentioned above and still to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.

The output current is usually between 50 mA and 100 mA. Due to the lower output current, signals in the low-frequency range, for example below 5 Hz and a low power consumption of the circuit, can be stabilized. This extends the operating time with one battery. The battery can be used as commercially available 9 V block battery. Alternatively, a voltage source can be selected that provides a supply voltage of 5 V to 15 V. A switch can be used as an operating element 15 act by means of which the flip-flop 18 is switched on. There is a battery for power supply 36 intended. The flip-flop 18 can be an output for a working group of an actuator 14 have to which, for example, a magnetic coil is connected, which with a certain by the flip-flop 18 generated frequency is applied. The frequency can be generated by a sine or a square wave voltage.

In particular, very good results are obtained with the device 10 reaches frequencies between 8 to 22 Hz for 10 to 30 minutes on the body areas 12 applied. The combination of magnetic therapy and light therapy is particularly advantageous. The device can be used to treat poor concentration, poor learning, hyperactivity, hypoactivity and anxiety. The device is especially for children 10 particularly effective. Regular use can be used to treat nerve disorders such as Parkinson's dementia multiple sclerosis. In particular, stroke patients can use the device for up to two hours 10 be treated on hands and / or feet.

Over the glasses and the headgear can by the device 10 Information is transferred to the subconscious. For this purpose, a dictation machine can record a spoken text on the transmitter module and the signals via the actuators 14 transferred to the brain. To do this, the information is transmitted to the meridians. The transmission is not based on sound waves and is therefore absolutely silent. This allows affirmation to be addressed directly to the meridians in the brain. Furthermore, a USB connection of the device 10 be provided, via which files or texts are transferred to the device and fed into the brain by means of a signal. Alternatively or in addition, the brain can be brought into a learning mode with a frequency of 10 Hz, in which, for example, texts read or other learning efforts lead to success particularly quickly.

Another possibility to improve the light therapy is the device such as the shield cap 20 to be carried out in certain colors that have a therapeutic effect. Furthermore, the glasses of the glasses can also be colored, so that in combination with the actuators 14 an increased therapeutic effect is achieved. On the inside of the shirt 21 or the headgear may be on certain areas of the body 12 a corresponding color can be arranged by energy centers.

Instead of the flip-flop 18 can be a microcontroller 34 be used. The microcontroller can determine precise frequencies. For example, a general purpose input output of the microcontroller 34 precise frequencies are output and a device with an amplifier that forms the working group for the actuators 10 to be provided. The device 10 can be especially as glasses 27 , Necklace or be designed as another previously mentioned embodiment. The microcontroller 34 can be operated using buttons or rotary knobs 15 can be set. A digital display can be connected to the microcontroller as a frequency display. Alternatively or in addition, a touchscreen can also be used 35 to the microcontroller 34 be connected. A multi-color light-emitting diode can be used so that different colors can be set for the color therapy. Magnetic coils and the multi-color light-emitting diode can be controlled by the microcontroller. The solenoids and the multi-color light-emitting diode can be switched on and off separately and their frequencies and operating modes can be adjusted. As radio technology for the radio signals 30 For example, a 433MHz transmitter, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Bluetooth LowEnergy, Wigi, Wlan and / or Ultra-Wide-Band can be used. Lithium polymer or lithium ion batteries can be used as the battery. This makes it a highly mobile device 10 reached. The microcontroller could be used to implement a simple radio control based on the master-slave principle. The microcontroller can be a Texas Instruments, Arduino, RaspberryPi processor. Furthermore, the amplifier can be a transistor amplifier.
