As the audio output terminal, for example, a dock terminal provided in a terminal device (for example, iPhone or iPod) capable of outputting sound to an external speaker or the like, or a USB terminal provided in a PC Etc. can be included.

  Thereby, for example, it is possible to perform a cosmetic treatment described later using one or a plurality of audio output terminals among an audio terminal, a Dock terminal, and a USB terminal. Further, by using a plurality of audio output terminals, different cosmetic treatments can be performed in parallel.

  Moreover, the input means 50 that receives the above-described various instructions and the output means 51 that displays the input content may be configured by, for example, a touch panel.

  The recording means 52 is a content file downloaded from the content providing server 20 or the like, address information such as a URL for accessing the content providing server 20 or the like, user information, for example, treatment contents set for ion introduction, treatment time, etc. Then, a diagnosis result or the like by a diagnosis means described later is recorded. The recording means 52 can read out various data recorded as necessary.

  The treatment content setting unit 53 sets the treatment content based on the treatment condition input from the input unit 50 by the user or the like.

  The content file acquisition unit 54 acquires a content file corresponding to the operation content set by the operation content setting unit 53 from the recording unit 52. In the present embodiment, as content files, for example, wav (WAVE) files created by “YAMAHA Wave Editor TWE V2.3.1”, audio files such as AIFF, mp3, mp4, WMA, AAC, RealAudio, MIDI, etc. At least one of them is used.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when the output signal obtained from the above-described audio file is controlled by a constant voltage method, the output voltage operates to have a predetermined voltage value. If the resistance value of the skin is different, the resistance value of the skin appears as a change in current.

  Here, the resistance value and capacitance of the skin are related to the moisture content of the skin. Therefore, the diagnostic means 57 detects the above-described current movement using, for example, a predetermined measuring device connected to an audio input terminal, which is an existing microphone terminal, and obtains the skin resistance value and capacitance therefrom. Thus, the skin condition can be diagnosed.

  In addition, the diagnostic means 57 acquires the skin condition etc. which were performed with respect to the user etc., transmits the skin condition etc. which were acquired to the content provision server 20, and acquires the treatment result from the content provision server 20 Also good.

  For example, the screen generation means 58 is a menu screen for allowing the user to input a treatment condition, a display screen for selecting a content file corresponding to the treatment content, a display screen for instructing download, a treatment result or a diagnosis. Generate a screen that displays the results.

  The communication interface means 60 downloads a content file from the content providing server 20 or the like.

  The control means 60 controls the entire components of the terminal devices 30 to 33 that are content reproduction devices. For example, the control unit 60 causes the content file acquisition unit 54 to acquire a content file corresponding to the operation content based on an instruction from the user or the like, causes the file conversion unit 55 to convert a predetermined file into an audio file, and edits the file. Each control such as editing / outputting an audio file by the output means 56 is performed.

The signal waveform output from the negative waveform cut circuit 79 of the booster circuit 71 is input to the constant current circuit 72 through a setting circuit that sets the output current so as to be similar to the positive input waveform. The signal waveform input to the constant current circuit 72 is input to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 80. The return signal input from the third pin of the output unit is input to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 80.
