Description

  The present invention relates to a massage system for performing a massage to stimulate the "acupuncture point" in the human body for the purpose of promoting beauty and health, etc., a massager which is a component of this system, and a program for portable information terminals Software) and server system.

  For the purpose of promoting beauty and health, etc., Oriental medicine therapy which gives various stimuli to "acupuncture point" in the human body has been used for a long time in the field such as acupuncture, Anma, Shiatsu etc.

  In order to appropriately obtain effects such as beauty and health promotion by applying such stimulation to the point, the appropriate kind of stimulation, appropriate strength and time to the point in the appropriate position according to the purpose and symptoms Not only is it necessary to improve the symptoms, but it may even make the symptoms worse, even if the stimulation is applied to the point that does not meet the purpose or symptoms.

  Therefore, in Oriental medicine therapy by specialists such as acupuncturists and Anma massage shiatsushi, before performing surgery, ask the patient as treatment questions and ask the patient for treatment purpose and symptoms, and then based on his own knowledge and experience To which point, what kind of stimulation, how strong and how long to give are set.

  In addition, when the treatment performed for a certain symptom does not show improvement in the condition, etc., it is necessary to correct and optimize the treatment content, such as changing the type and intensity of the stimulus to be given and the time to give the stimulus. Become.

  Therefore, in Oriental medicine therapy by specialists such as acupuncturists and Anma massage shiatsushi, confirm or record the presence or absence of symptom improvement by the last treatment by questions and palpation, and reflect this in one's own experience and knowledge The change of treatment content etc. is set appropriately.

  Furthermore, the stimulation to the acupoint needs to be accurately applied to the position of the acupoint on the body, and even if the stimulation is applied to a position different from the position of the acupoint, the intended effect or improvement of symptoms can not be obtained .

  Therefore, in Oriental medicine therapy by specialists such as acupuncturist and Anma massage Shiatsu, after the position of the acupoint is specified by palpation etc., stimulation is performed to the position of this acupoint, but the position of the acupoint is There are individual differences, and even experts need experience in order to pinpoint the point accurately.

  In addition, in view of the difficulty in specifying the position of the crucible, attention is paid to the fact that the conductivity of the crucible position is high (the resistance value is low) compared to other parts of the human body, and the crucible is electrically There have also been proposed massagers whose position can be detected (Patent Documents 1 to 5).

JP 09-253156 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-275319 Patent No. 5122331 Patent No. 2755166 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 03-40295

  As explained above, in the treatment by specialists such as acupuncturists and Anma massage shiatsushi, this is compared with one's own knowledge and experience based on the result of question and palpation for the patient and the result of the treatment. Thus, the optimum treatment contents can be determined, the treatment method can be changed, and the correction can be made, and by specifying the position of the pressure point by palpation etc., it is possible to appropriately give stimulation to the pressure point.

  However, massages performed by users who have purchased commercially available massagers (mostly vibration-type) personally and homely are often in areas of stiffness or pain, regardless of the location of the acupoint It is a thing of pressing a massage device directly and giving a vibration, and it is far from an effective treatment method based on expertise, such as acupuncturist and Anma massage Shiatsushi etc. .

  In addition, massagers that are commercially available can usually give only one type of stimulus, such as only vibration if the purpose is to impart vibration, or only thermal if the purpose is thermal therapy. The effect is limited also in this point, because it can not be given, and it can not be given multiple stimuli in combination.

  Therefore, for example, in the case of a massage device for the purpose of giving vibration, it is possible to select only a simple course such as "Momo" or "tap" by changing the strength and period of vibration, and the user can select The course is also limited.

  Even if a massager having a configuration capable of simultaneously applying a plurality of types of stimuli is marketed, it may be possible to apply a plurality of stimuli since the stimulation provided differs depending on the symptoms (there are also stimuli that should not be given). Even if the number of course settings that can be selected is simply increased, expert knowledge is required for selecting and changing courses, and thus it can not be used by general users.

  Therefore, even when used by a user who does not have specialized knowledge, according to the user's purpose, symptoms, etc., as if a specialist gives oriental medicine therapy, an optimal treatment method (providing stimulation If a massager can be developed that can automatically select and implement the selection of a pressure point, the type and combination of stimulation to be given, the strength, time, etc., it will be easy to be professional and effective without going to a hospital etc. Treatment can be received.

  As described above, although there is a massager equipped with a pressure detection function that electrically detects the position of the pressure point, this massager can only detect the position of the pressure point, It is not possible to automatically determine the most appropriate treatment method (selection of stimulation point, type and combination of stimulation, strength, time, etc.) in accordance with the purpose or symptoms.

  In addition, in oriental medicine therapy by specialists such as acupuncturist and Anma massage shiatsushi, the knowledge and experience accumulated by these specialists accumulated years of clinical experience and decades, the operation policy and the contents of the operation By reflecting it in the decision of the patient, it is possible to perform effective treatment more in line with the purpose and symptoms.

  However, even with the existing massage device, even if it is possible to select the treatment course, the selection of the treatment course can be made only by being able to select in the course set in advance, the contents of the set course However, there is no massager that is designed to be automatically changed and optimized after learning the treatment result for the user after shipment.

  Therefore, the present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art, and even when it is used by a user who does not have specialized knowledge about acupuncture, acupressure, massage, etc., treatment by a specialist In the same manner as in the case of receiving a massage, it is an object of the present invention to provide a massage system that can automatically perform the application of the optimum stimulus to the optimum pressure in accordance with the user's purpose and symptoms.

  In addition, another object of the present invention is that specialists such as acupuncturists and Anma massage shiatsu massagers are used by many users according to their clinical experience, as they are used by many users. An object of the present invention is to provide a massage system in which treatment contents (treatment menu) and the like are automatically optimized.
