Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massage machine, and more particularly to a massage machine equipped with a display means for displaying a still image or a moving image and a detection means for detecting a biological signal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A detection means for detecting a biological signal is provided,
There is provided one that changes the operation of the massage machine based on the biological signal captured by the detection means.

[0003]

However, although the massage operation is performed according to the state of the living body, the user does not know what kind of state he / she is currently in. There remains anxiety about whether or not the action depends on the condition of the living body. Also,
It is not possible to know how the state of the living body is changing due to the massage being performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a massager which allows a user to know the condition of his / her own living body.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, the present invention provides a display unit for displaying a still image or a moving image, a detection unit for detecting a biological signal, and a biological state information based on the biological signal detected by the detection unit. A first feature is that the display means is provided with a control means for displaying a still image or a moving image on the outer peripheral portion of the display portion in color, and a display means for displaying the still image or the moving image, and a living body. The second characteristic is that the detection means for detecting the signal and the control means for displaying the information on the biological state based on the biological signal detected by the detection means in the color shade of the still image or the moving image on the display means are provided. Have

Further, display means for displaying a still image or a moving image, detecting means for detecting a biomedical signal, and present information and past information of a living body state based on the biomedical signal detected by the detecting means are displayed on the display means. The third feature is that the control means is provided. As the current information and the past information of the biometric information, it is possible to preferably use what is displayed with the color tone of the still image or the moving image and the color of the outer peripheral portion of the display portion of the still image or the moving image.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in detail below based on an example of an embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a bio-signal detecting means provided in a massage machine. For example, it is attached to an earlobe or the like to optically detect a pulse, and an optical fiber in which a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion are opposed to both end surfaces under a seat portion of a chair type massage machine is bent with a predetermined curvature. The change in the amount of light from the light emitting part to the light receiving part via the optical fiber when the optical fiber bends due to the load of the living body is placed in this state. What is extracted, what measures a user's body temperature, skin surface resistance, etc. can be used.

Then, the biological signal detected by the biological signal detecting means 1 is converted into information on the biological state in the processing circuit 2. When the biological signal is heartbeat, it is divided into several biological states according to the heart rate, and when the biological signal is body temperature or skin surface resistance, it is also divided into several biological states according to the numerical values. .

Then, the control circuit 3 displays on the display means 4 including a liquid crystal display for displaying a still image or a moving image provided in the massage machine, based on the information on the biological condition output from the processing circuit 2. Let it be done. The display means 4 shown in FIG. 2 is a display unit 40 for displaying a still image or a moving image.
The control circuit 3 causes the display unit 41 to perform color display in accordance with the biological state.

For example, when the biological signal detecting means 1 detects a heartbeat, the control circuit 3 stores the initial heartbeat rate and compares the heartbeat rate during massage with the initial heartbeat rate. Then, when the heart rate is lower than the initial heart rate, the display unit 41 displays green, and when the initial heart rate and the current heart rate are almost the same, blue display is performed. Also, if the current heart rate is high, a purple display will be displayed.

When the bio-signal detecting means 1 detects a plurality of bio-signals such as body temperature and skin surface resistance, the bio-signals are weighted to determine the bio-states, and the bio-states are changed. The display section 41 is caused to display the corresponding color.

The information display of the biological condition may be performed by changing the color tone of the display of the display unit 40 for a still image or a moving image as shown in FIG. Further, the past information of the biological condition may be displayed in color on the display unit 41, and the information of the current biological condition may be displayed by changing the hue of the image on the display unit 40.

Of course, the massage operation may be changed based on the information obtained by the biological signal detecting means 1, 5 in FIG. 1 is a massage operation control section, and 6 is a massage means. Is shown.

The display unit 41 is constructed by arranging a light emitting diode or the like on the outer periphery of the display unit 40 formed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, and the outer peripheral portion of a single liquid crystal display is used as the display unit 41 and the inside thereof is a still image. Alternatively, the display unit 40 for displaying a moving image may be used. Further, the display unit 40 is preferably one for displaying a moving image for relaxing the user, particularly one configured as a head mount display, but it may be one for displaying the operation state of the massage machine. Of course, it may also serve as a touch panel for operating the massage machine.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the display means for displaying a still image or a moving image, the detecting means for detecting a biological signal, and the information on the biological state based on the biological signal detected by the detecting means are described above. The control means for displaying a still image or a moving image on the outer peripheral portion of the display means in the display means, or the biological state information based on the biological signal detected by the detecting means is displayed in the shade of the still image or moving image on the display means. Since the control means is provided, the user can know his / her biological state by the display on the display means, and the massage operation for shifting to the awake state or the relaxing state is effective. You can know if it is done.

Further, display means for displaying a still image or a moving image, detection means for detecting a biomedical signal, and present information and past information of a living body state based on the biomedical signal detected by the detecting means are displayed on the display means. With the control means for controlling, the user can more surely know the effect of the massage.
