The control unit 22 functions by executing various programs stored in the ROM by the CPU using the RAM as a work area, the first acquisition unit 220, the second acquisition unit 221 and the generation unit 222, and the output unit 223 ( A transmission unit), an execution unit 224, and a management unit 225 are provided.

A part or all of the first acquisition unit 220, the second acquisition unit 221 and the generation unit 222, the output unit 223, the execution unit 224, and the management unit 225 included in the control unit 22 are ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits). It may be configured by hardware such as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). Further, the first acquisition unit 220, the second acquisition unit 221, the generation unit 222, the output unit 223, the execution unit 224, and the management unit 225 may be divided into a plurality of units, or may be integrated. Good.

The first acquisition unit 220 acquires the user ID of the user who uses the massage unit 2 via the authentication device 14a (see FIG. 1). The first acquisition unit 220 may acquire a user ID from the user terminal 5 via short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

The second acquisition unit 221 acquires usage proposal information based on the user ID from the information processing device 4 described in detail via the communication unit 20. The usage proposal information is information on the recommended usage method for the massage machine 10 used by the user.
At the same time, the body shape information based on the user ID is acquired from the information processing device 4 via the communication unit 20. As a means for the information processing device 4 to acquire body shape information, a method of inputting height, sitting height, weight, body shape, etc. by a user in advance using a user terminal, or body shape data obtained by a body shape detection function of a massage machine is obtained. You may get it.

The recommended usage is, for example, a recommended massage course. In the following, a recommended massage course will be described as an example as a recommended usage method, but the method is not limited to this. The recommended usage method is not limited to the recommended massage course, and may be a usage method including individual movements such as a massage point based on the strength and speed of the massage, the user's body shape information, and the massage point. That is, the information on the recommended usage method is not limited to the information on the massage course, but may be information that suggests the position of the massage, the strength of the massage, and the like.

Further, the second acquisition unit 221 acquires the reservation result information (reservation information) of the massage unit 2 from the information processing device 4 via the communication unit 20. The reservation result information is information indicating that the massage unit 2 has been reserved. The reservation result information includes information on the scheduled start time of use and a user ID that serves as the above-mentioned user identification information.

The generation unit 222 generates the first usage information of the massage machine 10. The first usage information is information about the massage course used in the massage machine 10, and is associated with the user ID and the device ID. The device ID is an example of device information for the massage machine 10, and is an identifier assigned to the massage machine 10. In addition to the massage course, the first usage information may include information on the strength of the massage and the massage location based on the user's body shape information.

The generation unit 222 generates the first usage information associated with the device ID when the user is used without a user ID.

In addition, the generation unit 222 generates usage state information of the massage unit 2. The usage state information is information indicating whether or not the massage unit 2 is used by the user, and is associated with the device ID.

The output unit 223 associates the user ID acquired by the first acquisition unit 220 with the device ID and transmits the user ID to the information processing device 4 via the communication unit 20. Further, the output unit 223 transmits the first usage information and the usage status information generated by the generation unit 222 to the information processing device 4 via the communication unit 20. Further, the output unit 223 causes the operation unit 14 to display the recommended massage course acquired by the second acquisition unit 221.

The execution unit 224 controls the massage mechanism to execute the massage. The execution unit 224 executes the massage based on the usage proposal information. For example, the execution unit 224 executes the massage of the recommended massage course when the user selects the recommended massage course acquired as the usage proposal information and displayed on the operation unit 14.

When the user does not select the recommended massage course displayed on the operation unit 14 and selects another massage course, the execution unit 224 executes the massage of the other massage course selected by the user.

When the recommended massage course is acquired, the execution unit 224 may execute the massage of the acquired recommended massage course. Further, when the recommended massage course is acquired, it may be possible to switch whether to execute the massage of the acquired recommended massage course or to execute the massage according to the operation of the user.

Further, the execution unit 224 executes the pre-mode before executing the massage, and executes the preparation mode after executing the massage. The pre-mode and the trimming mode are modes in which, for example, a reclining mechanism that performs an action such as a cradle movement that has no effect as a massage is operated or music is played.

The pre-mode and the trimming mode can be terminated or skipped by the user's operation via the operation unit 14. Further, the execution unit 224 may execute only one of the pre-mode and the trimming mode.

When the reservation result information of the massage machine 10 is acquired by the second acquisition unit 221, the management unit 225 causes the status display unit 12 to display the reservation status based on the reservation result information. For example, the management unit 225 causes the status display unit 12 to display "reserved" from a predetermined time (for example, a time equivalent to the usable time described later) with respect to the scheduled start time. The reason for displaying from a predetermined time before is to prevent the inconvenience that a third party starts using the service immediately before the time and the reserved person starts using the service during use. The management unit 225 may also display the reservation time and the reservation number so that it can be known who made the reservation. When the reservation time has elapsed, the management unit 225 ends the display of "reserving".

Further, when the massage unit 2 is reserved, the management unit 225 manages the use of the massage machine 10 as a standby period from a predetermined time before the scheduled start time of use. The management unit 225 prevents the massage machine 10 from being used by another user during the standby period and the predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) after the scheduled start time of use. For example, the management unit 225 prohibits the operation of the massage mechanism, or displays the reserved display on the remote controller. Then, the management unit 225 permits the operation of the massage mechanism only when the user ID of the reserved user is authenticated by the authentication device 14a (see FIG. 1).
It should be noted that the user can freely cancel until the scheduled start time (or a predetermined time thereafter). Since the user is authenticated by the system at the time of booking, all or part of the consideration for receiving the massage is charged, and when the cancellation process occurs, all or part of the charged amount will be refunded.
As soon as the cancellation occurs, the operation of the massage mechanism can be used by any user.

Further, the management unit 225 may set the usable time (for example, 1 hour) of the massage unit 2 so that the user can occupy and use the massage unit 2 during the usable time. The management unit 225 sets the usable time according to the billing amount and the like. The available time is the time including the pre-mode time, the massage operation time, and the trimming mode time. That is, the usable time is longer than the massage operation time.

The massage operation time is the time during which the massage is performed. The massage operation time is set so that the operation time in one massage is equal to or less than the upper limit operation time (for example, 30 minutes) which is desirable for health. The upper limit operating time is a preset time. The upper limit operating time may be set for each type of massage or for each massage course of the massage machine 10.

For example, the management unit 225 starts counting the usage time after the user ID is acquired, and enables the user to use the massage machine 10 until the usage time reaches the usable time. The management unit 225 causes the status display unit 12 to display that the unit is in use during the usable time, and notifies the outside that the user can occupy and use the unit during the usable time. For example, the management unit 225 causes the status display unit 12 to display "in use" instead of the "reserved" display during the available time. The management unit 225 may also display the remaining time of the usable time.

In addition, the management unit 225 notifies that the user cannot use the massage unit 2 when the usable time has elapsed. The management unit 225 ends the display of "in use" of the status display unit 12. In addition, the management unit 225 may notify the user that the usable time has passed by voice or vibration of the massage machine 10. This allows the user to wake up asleep during the massage. That is, the management unit 225 performs an alarm clock operation.

In addition, when the massage is started, the management unit 225 notifies the user of the start of the massage by voice. For example, when starting a massage, the management unit 225 gives voice guidance saying "Start the massage." In addition, when the massage is completed and the trimming mode is executed, the management unit 225 gives voice guidance saying "The massage is finished."

The management unit 225 may enable the use of an additional function device such as a charging device during the usable time.

Returning to FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition portion 11 is provided around the massage machine 10. The partition portion 11 is provided so as to hide the user seated on the seat portion 13a. For example, the partition portion 11 is a tsuitate or a partition. The partition portion 11 may be composed of a plurality of members or may be composed of one member. In addition. The partition portion 11 may be a wall forming a private room. The partition portion 11 is provided so that the face of the user seated on the seat portion 13a and the lower half of the body are hidden. For example, the partition portion 11 is provided so that the face and lower body of the user seated on the seat portion 13a are hidden when the user seated on the seat portion 13a is viewed from the front or side. It is also desirable to reduce the oppressive feeling of the user by using a translucent member.

The status display unit 12 is provided in the partition unit 11. Further, the status display unit 12 is provided at a position that can be visually recognized from the outside. The status display unit 12 is, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and displays the reserved status and the usage status of the massage unit 2. The state display unit 12 may be configured by a reserved state of the massage unit 2, a lamp that lights up according to a usage state, or the like. Reference numeral 11a is an advertisement display unit, which is provided on the wall surface of the partition unit 11, but the advertisement can be displayed when the state display unit 12 is not used.
Reference numeral 11c is a locking portion provided at the entrance to the partition portion 11, which is unlocked and locked by authentication.

Further, the state display unit 12 may display the usage state of the massage unit 2 in more detail. For example, the state display unit 12 may display according to the execution of the massage, pre-mode, and trimming mode.

A part of the controller 15 may be provided separately from the massage machine 10. That is, a management device capable of executing a part of the above-mentioned control may be provided separately from the massage machine 10. For example, the management device is a management device that makes it possible to use the massage machine 10 by calculating the billing amount by inserting coins or reading out a card reader.
