Presentation of the invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide a wellness device for better transmission of structure-borne sound waves to a body.

The object is achieved with an arrangement for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to a body according to the independent claim.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is described an arrangement for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to a body (e.g., a human body or an animal body). The arrangement has a device which has a support region with a support surface, and at least one exciter device. The device can be placed with the support surface on the body. The excitation device is arranged on the device in such a way that the support region for generating structure-borne sound waves, which have a sound energy, can be excited and the structure-borne sound waves including the sound energy can be induced into the body by means of the support surface.

The support area is, so to speak, excitable to structure-borne sound waves, such. B. bending waves to produce in the support area. The structure-borne sound waves transport sound energy, which structure-borne sound waves can be transmitted from the support area via the support surface into the body.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to a body is described. According to the method, a device which has a bearing area with a bearing surface is fastened to the body, so that the bearing area with the bearing surface bears against the body. An excitation device is arranged on the device in such a way that the support region for generating structure-borne sound waves, which have a sound energy, is excited and the structure-borne sound waves, including their sound energy, are induced into the body by means of the support surface.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the method, the ear canal of the person is closed, for example by means of ear plugs or other closure means, so that no or hardly airborne sound waves from the air penetrate through the ear canal into the ear of the person, so that the hearing or the perception of airborne sound waves is reduced via the auditory organ.

The contact area of the device is, for example, the area of a housing wall enveloping the device or another partition wall. For example, a surface of the wall forms the bearing surface on the body. The structure-borne sound waves, such as. B. bending waves are generated by means of the exciter device within the support area by the exciter device, for example, is in operative connection with the support area. In other words, the support area forms a membrane in which structure-borne sound waves, in particular flexural waves, run. The structure-borne sound waves are transmitted directly from the contact area by means of the bearing surface on the (human or animal) body, without air bubbles are generated for transmission over air inclusions between the support surface and the body, which would reduce the transmittable sound energy. Thus, a lot of sound energy transported, which can be transmitted directly to the body, since in contrast to a sound transmission by airborne sound waves, there is less reflection. To effectively structure-borne sound waves, z. B. bending waves to produce in the support area, the support area of acrylic glass, wood, fiberglass, plastic, etc. and / or a honeycomb (HoneyComb) material. The support area is preferably thin, light and stiff. The wall thickness of the support area may be less than about 3 cm (centimeters), in particular less than 3 mm (millimeters).

The device and in particular the support area can be formed collapsible or collapsible, so that thereby the device and beyond the entire arrangement can be made portable or portable. The support area can for example consist of several members, which are connected by hinges or flexible material connections (eg flexible adhesive, insert elastic areas). In addition, in an exemplary embodiment, the device may be placed on the body in a manner similar to a blanket, with the orientation of the members of the support area conforming to the body shape. For better adaptation, an adapter element described below can be placed between the support area and the body. Furthermore, such a portable arrangement can be used as a chair or couch support. For example, the (limb-like) device may be placed on a dentist's chair so that the patient sitting on it relaxes during treatment by the application of the assembly (i.e., the body sound thus generated).

Structure-borne sound waves are sound waves which, in contrast to airborne sound waves, propagate in a solid state. An elastic solid, such as the support area, in contrast to the air in addition to normal stresses and absorb shear stresses. Therefore, in all sides unlimited solids, such. B. the support area and / or the body, longitudinal waves or transverse waves propagate. These structure-borne sound waves propagate independently of each other. The support surface may be formed as a limited solid with a shear stress-free surface. This results in the coupling between longitudinal waves and transverse waves, resulting in further types of structure-borne sound waves. The most important wave type are the bending waves where bending deformations occur. Structure-borne sound waves and in particular bending waves can therefore transport significantly more sound energy than airborne sound waves. The structure-borne noise can be tactilely perceived by humans (bodies), especially at low frequencies. A bending wave as structure-borne sound can be described as a physical wave which moves within the (flexible) support area and oscillates perpendicular to its direction of propagation. The oscillation bends and bends the support area. The bending shaft spreads in particular one or two-dimensional within the support area. The vibrating bearing area generates structure-borne sound waves, which transport a high sound energy directly from the bearing surface into the body without first being converted into airborne sound waves. The structure-borne sound waves are referred to as structure-borne noise within the body.

In the following, the structure-borne sound waves denote a sound which represents a propagation of the smallest pressure and density fluctuations in the body. The structure-borne sound waves transmitted into the body generate the structure-borne noise in the interior of the body. This is for the auditory perception of structure-borne noise inside the body and not the usual auditory perception by air scoop waves, which penetrate through the ear canal into the organ of hearing of the person. The z. B. the bending waves generated in the body structure-borne sound leads to a corresponding vibration z. As the bone, or the skeleton and / or the internal organs. Sensory organs and the vibrated areas (bones, organs) of the body, which are stimulated by structure-borne sound waves induced in the contact area, serve to perceive structure-borne noise. In other words, the structure-borne sound waves are not transmitted from the outside to the ears of the person or the body, but are induced from the outside in a region of the body on which the bearing surface of the device rests. The sense of hearing is not tied to the perception of airborne sound waves through the ears. The structure-borne sound waves or the structure-borne noise in the body generates vibrations that are also perceived or felt by sense organs on corresponding body parts. Furthermore, the structure-borne noise from the inside to the auditory organ, z. B. transmitted due to the corresponding vibrations in the skeleton of the body. In other words, the auditory perception of structure-borne sound describes the process of hearing or the form in which the structure-borne sound waves are perceived by the body, so z. For example, the auditory events that occur in certain sound events.

The exciter device is, for example, an electrodynamic exciter, such as an electromagnetic (oscillating) coil or a piezo element. The exciter device may have a diameter of about 2 cm to about 12 cm (centimeters) and a height of about 0.5 cm to about 5 cm. The exciter device may be attached (eg, glued) to the device, and in particular to the support region, in order to produce in the support region body sound waves, such as, for example, acoustic waves. B. Bending waves to produce. By means of the exciter device arise in the support area transverse waves and / or longitudinal waves which propagate uniformly along a plane of the support area in all directions. The propagation has a generation of structure-borne sound waves, which are induced as structure-borne noise in the body of the user, the body sound or the vibration generated by the structure-borne sound in the body of the user can be perceived as an acoustic signal from the inside and not exclusively from outside, for example by airborne sound waves, which penetrate through the ear canal into the ear.

The excitation device, together with the support area, forms a structure-borne sound wave generator, the support area functioning as a membrane of the structure-borne sound wave generator. The structure-borne sound waves can be generated in an audible range between about 100 Hz to about 20 kHz. Thus, the body surge waves, in particular music, can be transmitted directly into the body on the support area, so that the user can perceive an inner structure-borne sound, which reproduces music, for example.

Since body sound waves can be generated in the support area, which are transmitted via the support surface directly into the body and, for example, not via the air as airborne sound waves to the ear, a person does not hear the music produced by airborne sound via the ears, but via the structure-borne sound waves in the body or on the structure-borne sound, for example, how an embryo in the womb perceives sound waves. As a result, all cells in the body are addressed simultaneously, which causes the surprisingly positive effect that a new sense of touch is caused in the person, unlike z. B. in everyday life. As a result, the person experiences positive effects, such as a total deep relaxation in no time, a release of thinking, a reappearance of previously unheard feelings and emotions, a completely new experience of the senses beyond the known limits and the release of old tensions and blockages , All senses are coherently excited based on the body sound waves transmitted to the body. The structure-borne sound waves may have a fundamental frequency derived from nature, which is highly octave in the respective frequency ranges. In the octave up (Hochoktavierung) the frequency of the sound is doubled, in the octave down (Tiefoktavierung) it is halved.

By means of the excitation device, which in particular generates bending waves in the support area in order to induce structure-borne sound or structure-borne noise into the body, much more intensive vibrations (structure-borne noise) and also without distortion can be transmitted to the body of a person in the bass region. In addition to the structure-borne sound waves or the structure-borne noise, which are transmitted into the body, this also results in a massaging effect with an increase in circulation, so that a local relaxation or regeneration of the body is likewise produced at the area of the body site which rests on the support area. Due to the structure-borne sound, which is introduced from the outside to the inside in the support area, it comes to the inner hearing (like an embryo in the womb) and to a kind of inner vision.

These effects can be enhanced, for example, by closing the ear canal by means of closure elements (such as ear plugs) and providing the eyes with a privacy screen. In order to enhance the inner vision, the person can see at least 15 seconds in the center of a color lamp, after closing the eyes the person sees the lamp in the complementary color.

Through inner hearing and through inner seeing a so-called "gap in the mind" arises. The mind can not understand the perception or the inner hearing and the inner vision, however, feels because of the induced structure-borne sound or the structure-borne sound recovered and gives up its control, whereby by the mind held states of consciousness and tension are released.

Due to the transmission of structure-borne sound waves directly into the body, all cells in the body are addressed due to structure-borne noise, so that a deeper relaxation can be generated.

Furthermore, the arrangement for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to the body may be combined with other complementary medical devices and methods, such as light therapy methods, to potentiate the relaxation factor. For example, the arrangement described above may be supplemented with mindmachines, neurostimulator (flickering light in combination with constant light), color glasses, special color therapy devices, white and pink noise, aromatherapy, bioresonance, electromagnetic interference with brain frequencies, shiatsu massage, lymphatic drainage, Lomi-Lomi. Nui, binauralbeats, sounds of singing bowls, planetary sounds or 3D TV goggles are combined.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the device has a neurostimulator which has a lamp system. The lamp system is set up, a constant light and / or a flickering light with variable light intensity, with white light and / or variable color and / or with to generate a variable flicker pitch and variable frequency. The neurostimulator is set up in such a way that the lamp system and the exciter device interact with one another such that the constant light and / or the flickering light and the structure-borne noise are coordinated with one another.

The light system may generate the constant light and / or the flickering light based on the common data of the exciter device so that the lamp system and the exciter device interact with each other. The user takes the light play of the lamp system and the tuned body sound so that the user experiences increased relaxation and intense perception. The common data may be based on heart music or "brain music" which may be generated by the EEG device or ECG device described in detail below. Furthermore, the data may also be general music data. Thus, for example, the lamp system and the exciter device can be controlled by means of data of a piece of music by a corresponding control device. The user experiences the piece of music more intensively through the perception of the tuned light and the structure-borne sound.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the arrangement comprises video glasses. The video glasses have an eye-near screen (eg one eye-near screen per eye), so that the user of the video glasses can see a movie or an image (close to the eye), in particular also 3-dimensionally. The exciter device is coupled to the video eyeglasses such that the exciter device excites body sound waves based on the film or images in the overlay region.

For example, a film can be played close to the user via the video glasses, with the associated sound or the associated sound being induced as structure-borne noise via the contact area in the body so that the user perceives the sound associated with the film via the structure-borne noise. This can create an effective virtual reality.

In particular, the body sound waves in the contact area can produce structure-borne sound waves or structure-borne noise, which transmit sounds or music (for example the person's favorite music) that are conducive to relaxation into the user's body, so that in other words the structure-borne noise produces a melodic inner music , which does not penetrate as airborne sound waves over the auditory canal and is perceived with the ear, but is perceived from the inside as structure-borne sound of the person. The sounds or the music are for example selected from the group consisting of a frequency from nature, certain instruments, ethnic music with appropriate trance-induced effect, music with underlying tones that affect the brain frequency, z. In the direction of alpha state, monocords tuned to planetary tones, special singing bowl music, sounds and frequencies from VAT (Vibroacoustic Therapy), tones and frequencies that address specific areas of the brain, and all music from the most diverse areas (eg rock music). , Pop, electronic music), in particular favorite music pieces of the person applying the arrangement.

By means of the present invention, a structure-borne noise is generated in the interior of the body efficiently. Since the exciter device does not generate airborne sound waves which are induced into the body via the air, but because the exciter device excites the contact area which rests directly on the skin or the painful body site, an intensive oscillation is induced in the body. In particular, the support area forms a hard and rigid support surface which is stimulated and rests on the body, whereby strong vibrations are induced in the body. In addition, it has surprisingly been found that the transmission of structure-borne sound waves in the body at a sore or strained body (such as the sole of the foot, the wrist or the abdominal wall (menstrual pain)) causes a relief of pain or tension.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the arrangement, the exciter device has a control unit. The control unit controls the exciter device in such a way that corresponding structure-borne sound waves (eg bending waves) can be generated in the support region on the basis of music data. Based on the structure-borne sound waves in the support area, the structure-borne sound waves are generated, which generate the structure-borne noise in the body, so that inside the body, the piece of music transmitted with the music data is perceptible.

The control unit may include a microprocessor. Furthermore, the control unit may have an amplifier with which z. B. the volume or the individual frequency ranges (eg, medium or high tones) can be specifically strengthened. The amplifier may include controls (eg, buttons, sliders, knobs) directly on the device (eg, the shoe or the hand applicator).

According to another exemplary embodiment, the device comprises a device (ie, an ECG device (electrocardiogram device)) for recording an electrocardiogram representing electrical activities of heart muscle fibers of the body. The excitation device has a further control unit, wherein the control device controls the exciter device in such a way that, based on the recorded electrocardiogram, the contact region for generating corresponding structure-borne sound waves can be excited with the sound energy, so that in turn corresponding structure-borne sound waves can be induced in the body. The structure-borne sound waves are thus indicative of the electrical activities of the heart muscle fibers of the user.

An electrocardiogram records the sum of the electrical activity of all heart muscles. This sum of the electrical activities of the heart muscles are reproduced as a cardiac tension curve or as a heart note. Every contraction of a heart muscle is preceded by electrical excitement. Via a proprietary electrical conduction system made of special heart muscle cells, the electrical excitation to the heart muscle cells. This electrical voltage change on the heart can be measured by the ECG device on the body surface and recorded over time. This results in a recurrent picture of the electrical heart action. With the ECG device, a variety of statements about the characteristics of the heart can be made. With an electrocardiogram z. As heart rate, heart rhythm, a type of position (electrical heart axis) and a so-called heart rate variability (HRV) are determined and the electrical activity of the atria and heart chambers are read. The measurement of the electrical currents or voltages by means of the ECG device can be carried out at different points of the body (so-called channels). For example, a six-channel electrocardiogram or a twelve-channel electrocardiogram are usually recorded.

In an exemplary embodiment, the ECG device is in particular a single-channel ECG device. For example, the single-channel ECG device may have an ear clip. By means of the single-channel ECG device, the heart rate variability (HRV) can be measured accordingly. Thus, for example, only with a sensor on the ear of the pulse can be measured in order to calculate all other relevant data.

For the HRV calculation z. B. uses an ECG channel. The data of an ECG channel are mathematically from the time domain, z. B. by means of an FFT calculation (Fast Fourier Transform), transformed into a certain frequency range. This results in different frequency bands, which out of experience z. B. the Sympatikus and / or the Parasympatikus can be assigned.

The frequency band, which z. B. the parasympatikus is assigned, can be used. The signals of this frequency band are now sent to a channel of a MIDI interface. The body is supplied to the structure-borne noise generated by the device. The set signals, which are delivered to the body as structure-borne sound, correspond to those which correspond to the parasympic cycle on the ECG and thus reproduce the relaxing part.

This results in real time a biofeedback loop, whereby only frequency components of the heart beats, which represent those of the parasympatikus (relaxation), are set to music and converted into music. This music is then returned to the human body via the structure-borne sound. This has the effect that the relaxation continues to increase, thereby finding even more parts of the parasympaticus after the FFT in the frequency band and even more or more intense such "parasympic music" can be supplied to the body.

By means of the FFT any number of frequency bands can be generated and assigned to a MIDI channel. This determines the rhythm, pitch, volume, and duration of the generated sound.

You can also z. B. the frequency band associated with the parasympic, in z. For example, divide ten parts and assign each part a MIDI channel. Each MIDI channel can be assigned to another instrument. In the end, a whole "orchestra" plays Parasympatikus heart music. Users can thus feel their inner autonomous rhythms, oscillations and activities as music generated from this via structure-borne noise. Other frequency bands which are not assigned to the parasympic cycle can also be correspondingly set to music.

This (Parasympatikus-) heart music can be converted by means of the further control unit in control data for the excitation device, so that the support area is excited by means of the excitation means such that a structure-borne sound is generated, which corresponds to the recorded heart music. The user thus perceives the recorded heart music in real time via the structure-borne sound.

Thus, the heart rate variability (HRV) can be determined based on the recorded electrocardiogram by means of a conversion device or the further control device. By means of the appropriately determined data of the heart rate variability, for example, via the conversion device, which z. B. corresponding transducers and filters, a MIDI interface are controlled and from the heart music are generated.

If this heart music is heard, z. B. generates a biofeedback effect in real time, which leads to a relaxation (increased activity of the parasympathetic nervous system). In particular, the biofeedback can be increased by setting the transducer device only a part of the heart signals. By transferring the heart music with the structure-borne sound over the circulation area the biofeedback effect is clearly increased, in particular in the comparison to it, if one would perceive the tones only over air noise at the ear instead of over the structure-borne noise.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the arrangement comprises a device (eg, a so-called electroencephalography measurement device (EEG device)) for measuring a summed electrical activity of a user's brain by recording voltage fluctuations on a user's head surface. The excitation device has a further control device, wherein the further control unit controls the exciter device such that on the basis of the recorded voltage fluctuations of the support area for generating body waves with the sound energy can be excited. The further control unit controls the exciter device in such a way that corresponding structure-borne sound waves can be induced in the body on the basis of the recorded voltage fluctuations on the head surface. The structure-borne sound waves are thus indicative of the summed electrical activity of the user's brain.

The device for measuring a summed electrical activity of a user's brain by recording voltage fluctuations on a user's head surface is generally referred to as an EEG device. By means of the EEG device, the activity of the user's brain can be recorded by recording voltage fluctuations on the head surface. In this case, voltage measuring probes are arranged at different locations of the head, wherein each voltage measuring probe generates a corresponding signal. Each signal forms a channel with corresponding oscillations (amplitudes and frequencies). Accordingly, data of a channel as described above for the ECG device may be mathematically derived from the time domain, e.g. B. by means of an FFT calculation (Fast Fourier Transform), are transformed into a specific frequency range. This results in different frequency bands, which z. B. alpha, beta, delta, theta and / or gamma brainwaves can be assigned. From the frequency bands, as described above for the ECG device, a corresponding music can be set to music. Thus, based on the recorded electrical activities of the user's brain, corresponding music data may be generated by the further control device.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the device has an operating unit which can be operated by a person. The operating unit is coupled to the control unit to control the control unit. For example, the operating unit may be a structurally separate from the device external device, such. As a (portable) computer, an input terminal, a tablet PC or a mobile device (smartphone). The person can with the control unit so to speak pieces of music or other desired sounds, which z. B. are stored digitally on a data memory or received via a microphone, select and transfer the pieces of music as music data to the control unit. The control unit can thereupon control the exciter device accordingly, in order in particular to generate corresponding structure-borne sound waves, with which the corresponding music data or sounds can be perceived as structure-borne noise in the body. Furthermore, by means of the control unit of the amplifier and thus z. B. the volume and / or the sound quality can be controlled.

The operating unit can be coupled to the control unit wirelessly or by wire for remote transmission. Furthermore, the operating unit can be arranged directly at the installation location of the control unit or the device (eg the shoe or the hand applicator) or be operated from a position spaced from the device. The operating unit may further be software-controlled, wherein the operating unit has a processor for executing a control software or a control program and a memory device for storing the control software and the music data.

The storage device may comprise a hard disk. Furthermore, the memory device may have an interface (eg USB port, memory card slot for eg SD cards or a drive for a computer-readable storage medium (CD, DVD)), to which, for example, memory cards or external memories (e.g. USB memory sticks) can be connected. Furthermore, the memory device can be configured such that it can be accessed wirelessly, for example via the Internet.

Further, in an exemplary embodiment, a computer-readable storage medium is described in which is stored a program for controlling the above-described apparatus which, when executed by a processor, at least selectively selects music data by a user and the computer as method steps Controlling the control unit and thus the device comprises, so that the exciter device generates in particular structure-borne sound waves (eg bending waves) corresponding to the selected music data. Further, in an exemplary Embodiment describes a program element for controlling, which, when it is executed by a processor, as method steps at least the selective selection of music data by a user and controlling the control unit and thus the device, so that the exciter device in particular structure-borne sound waves (eg Bending waves) according to the selected music data.

The control program can be understood, for example, as an application program (so-called app) which is stored, for example, on a computer or a mobile telephone (smartphone) as an operating unit.

Furthermore, the arrangement may have a power supply device, such as a battery or a photovoltaic device. In addition, a reception module can be connected to the control unit in order to transmit music data from outside the device to the control unit, for example via a wired or wireless connection technology (wireless LAN, Bluetooth, infrared, etc.).

The excitation device and the other components, such as the control unit, the power supply unit, the receiving unit, the amplifier and / or the control unit, may be disposed within the device, for example in a cavity of the device.

The cavity is, for example, free of internal struts and stiffeners so as not to reduce the vibration capacity of the support area.

According to another exemplary embodiment, a surface shape of the support portion is adapted to a predetermined other surface shape (part) of the body.

The body or the body part can represent, for example, a hand's upper or lower side, a foot or the abdominal area of the body. If the surface shape of the bearing surface is adapted to the predetermined further surface shape of the body part, the contact area between the bearing surface and the further surface shape of the body is increased and optimized. In particular, the excitation device can excite the entire contact surface of the support region, so that structure-borne sound waves, in particular bending waves, run over the entire contact region. By an exact adaptation of the surface shape of the support area to the further surface shape of the body (or the body part) of the user, the structure-borne sound waves in the support area can be effectively transferred into the body and induced to produce the structure-borne sound, for example, air areas between the support surface and the further surface shape of the body can be reduced by the adaptation.

The adaptation of the surface shape of the support area to the further surface shape of the body can be produced, for example, by producing a plaster cast of the selected body location (eg, sole, abdominal area, hand, back, knee, etc.). The plaster cast may be used to be used, for example, as a mold (eg, mold) to make the surface shape as a detailed negative mold of the selected body part.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the arrangement further comprises an adapter element, such as a pad, which is filled with grains, for example with (sea) salt grains. The adapter element is positionable between the support surface and the body. The adapter element as a cushion is particularly flexible due to the filling with grains (for example, with grain diameters of 0.002 mm to 8 mm). The adapter element may further consist of a soft foam. Furthermore, the cushion may be filled as an adapter element with polystyrene balls. Furthermore, the cushion can be a vacuum pad or a compressed air cushion as an adapter element, which z. B. also includes the grains described above, with a variable adjustment of the internal air pressure in the cushion, the hardness or softness of the pad is customizable.

Furthermore, the support surface fastening means, for. As clamps, grooves, Velcro areas or a receiving chamber, to optionally attach the adapter element to the support area.

The adapter element adapts flexibly and individually to a specific further surface shape of the body and also to a surface shape of the support surface. As a result, air pockets between the surface shape of the support surface and the other surface shape of the body (body part) are reduced. Thus, at any point of the body, a good transmission of structure-borne sound waves, in particular of the bending waves, be effected directly into the body of the support surface in the body, so that no sound waves are transmitted through the air. If the adapter element has a salt pad, this increases the hygiene due to the salt. In addition, a cleaning action of the skin can be effected by means of the salt.

In particular, the support area is significantly harder and stiffer than the adapter element formed. Since the exciter device is mounted on the harder support area where the exciter device is mounted, acts, the structure-borne sound waves (eg bending waves) are produced in the support area and not in the softer adapter element. A generation of structure-borne sound waves in a harder support area is much more effective than in a softer adapter element. The structure-borne noise generated by the structure-borne sound waves can then be effectively transmitted to the body through the softer adapter element.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the support region has a cavity, which can be filled with a liquid fluid (eg water).

In particular, the cavity may have chambers. The chambers are partially separated, for example, by webs or partitions. In the chambers, for example, a honeycomb structure (so-called honeycomb structure) can be integrated. The chambers are configured such that the liquid fluid can freely tile in multiple directions within the chambers. The chambers may also be designed such that the liquid fluid can move freely between the chambers. By means of the honeycomb structure, the support area is reinforced, so that the support area has a high rigidity despite the cavity.

The liquid fluid can be, for example, water, in particular warm and tempered water. The circulation area including water flow is suitable, for example, in addition to the transmission of structure-borne noise and thermal energy (heat) to transfer to the body of the user. Thus, in addition to the transmission of structure-borne noise on the support area also heat is transmitted. This z. B. enhances the relaxation effect or it can be the effect of an infrared cabin thereby simulated.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the device is a shoe. The shoe is particularly wearable on a foot as a body part of the person. In another exemplary embodiment, the support area is a sole of the shoe or a foot attachment (shoe buckle, fastening strap of the shoe, Velcro connection of the shoe).

The sole described below is the so-called insole or the support sole, on which the sole of the foot (foot underside) of the foot rests when the shoe is worn. The shoe may be, for example, a sports shoe or a street shoe.

By exciting the sole of the shoe with structure-borne sound waves (eg bending waves), the structure-borne sound waves generated therefrom are transmitted directly into the body via the sole of the foot. This reduces the pain on the sole of the foot, which is caused, for example, by a long standing of the person or due to other soles of the soles of the feet.

According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the device is an arm device, for example a wristwatch or a bracelet. The exciter device and, for example, the associated optional components, such as the control unit or the power supply unit, can be integrated in a dedicated cavity of the wristwatch or the bangle, so that the support surface of a contact area of the wristwatch or bangle transmits structure-borne sound waves into the body.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the device is a belt, wherein the belt has a fastening band, which is designed such that the support area with the support surface can be fastened to the body. The support area and its support surface may be part of a support body, which is fastened by means of the fastening strap to the body. The support body has, for example, the cavity in which the excitation device and possibly the control unit and possibly the control unit are arranged.

The belt may, for example, be attached to the person or body of the person in such a way that the support area can be fastened, for example, to the neck, the shoulder area, the abdominal area, the thigh area or a spinal area of the body. By means of the fastening strap of the belt of the support area is fixed to the predetermined position of the body.
