Therefore, in the present embodiment, as an example, two or more acupoints that are equally stimulated for different diseases are selected and used, and the results are a total of 12 as shown in [Table 6].

Two or more stimulation points of acupuncture points that stimulate the disease according to the pulse state Acupoints Palm Acupoints Acupuncture points on the back of the hand For bradycardia (number of stimuli) A8 (four times), A12 (four times), A16 (three times), C1 (two times), N18 (three times), F19 (two times) B24 (twice), H2 (twice) For tachycardia (number of stimuli) A8 (three times), A12 (three times), A16 (three times),
A20 (twice), G11 (twice) H6 (twice), J7 (twice)

In the present embodiment, the acupuncture points selected by the process as described above are configured to stimulate the acupuncture points 50, but the present invention is not limited thereto. If necessary, other acupuncture points selected through a reliable process such as the selection process may be used. Of course, it may be configured.

When the step S50 is completed, the control unit 100 determines whether the algorithm selected by the user is a user-customized algorithm (S60), and in this case, sequentially stimulating the acupoints of the user (12 acupuncture points in this embodiment), respectively. The pulses for the ballast, the hour hand and the deaerator are measured (S70).

Specifically, the user's steady state pulse is measured (stabilizer) for the first 5 minutes, and after the measurement of the steady state pulse, the stimulator (hour hand and degreaser) allocated execution time to 5 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. Pulse is sequentially measured for.

In this case, the time of the ballast, the hour hand and the depreciator may be set differently from the present embodiment as necessary.

In this way, each time (stabilizer, hour hand and deacupuncturer) is completed, the received pulse data is stored in the memory unit 20, a pulse data set consisting of a ballast, the hour hand, deacuperizer is obtained by acupuncture points You lose.

At this time, the reason for measuring the pulse of the ballast and stimulator (hour hand or deacupuncturer) is to extract the user's steady state pulse, and then compared with the pulse measured by the stimulator (hour hand or deacupuncturer) to stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points This is to analyze the change in the pulsation pulse.

In addition, the stimulator means any one of the hour hand or the depreciator, but the following description will be made based on the hour hand for convenience of description.

When the step S70 is completed, the control unit 100 classifies each acupoints into bradycardia stimulation points (LP) and tachycardia stimulation points (FP) using the measured pulse data, and the memory unit 20 together with the respective pulse change amounts. Save to (S80).

At this time, the classification of the bradycardia stimulation point and tachycardia stimulation point and the pulse change amount generated during each menstrual point stimulation is obtained as compared with the pulse data of the stabilizer as described above, the acupuncture point that the pulse becomes faster during stimulation is bradycardia stimulation point (LP) It is preferable to classify the acupuncture points where the pulse is slowed down when stimulated with tachycardia FP.

On the other hand, if the user selects a general algorithm as a result of the determination in step S60, the acupuncture points (LP) and tachycardia stimulation points (LP) for each acupoint using pre-stored data (ie, clinical trial results for the general public). It is classified as, and stored in the memory unit 20 together with the pulse change amount (S85).

In this case, the control unit 100 averages the results of clinical experiments (for example, measuring pulses for the ballast, the hour hand, and the deaerator for each of the plurality of acupoints in the same manner as described above with respect to 100 subjects). Acupuncture points are classified and the amount of pulse change of each acupoints is obtained.

In addition, unlike the present embodiment, the acupoint classification result and the pulse change amount of each acupoint according to the general algorithm may be previously obtained from the above-described clinical experiment results and stored in the memory unit 20. In this case, the controller 100 There is no need to perform step S85 to perform the step S90 described below by using the previously stored information.

When the step S80 or S85 is completed, the control unit 100 measures the current state pulse of the user and stores it in the memory unit 20 (S90), and determines whether the measured user's pulse is normal (S100). .

In addition, if the user's pulse is normal when the determination result of step S100, the control unit 100 determines whether it is a bradycardia if it is abnormal (S110), and the control unit 100 is set in step S15. Steps S100 and S110 are performed using the normal pulse range.

As a result of the determination in step S110, if the pulse of the user is bradycardia, the control unit 100 determines the control menstrual point, which is acupuncture points for inducing the current pulse of the user to the normal range of the bradycardia stimulation points (LP) classified in step S80 After stimulation for this stimulation time and ends the health care mode (S120).

In this case, the term 'control acupoints' for inducing the pulse to the normal range means that the amount of change in pulse generated during stimulation is different from the difference between the user's current pulse rate and the normal range pulse rate (for example, based on the median value of the normal pulse range). By approximate acupuncture points it is the same throughout this specification.

In addition, the control acupuncture points may be selected in plural in order of approximate difference between the current pulse rate and the normal range pulse rate of the user, and in this case, it is preferable to stimulate the difference in the order of approximation.

In the present embodiment, the case where the 'normal range pulse rate' is an intermediate value of the normal pulse range set in step S15 will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be the lower limit or the upper limit of the pulse range.

In addition, the control unit 100 measures the user's pulse in real time during the execution time of step S120, in this case, if the pulse is not induced to the normal state despite the stimulation of the selected control acupoints during the stimulation time, other control It may also be configured to stimulate the acupoints again.

At this time, the other control acupoints may be selected in the order similar to the pulse change amount generated by the control unit points previously stimulated or the amount of pulse change generated when the control unit 100 is randomly selected or stimulated, furthermore, the current pulse rate and the normal range of the user It can also be selected as a control menstrual point with the difference in pulse rate and the closest pulse change.

In addition, the control unit 100 may be configured to terminate or repeat the health care mode according to the user's selection when the user's pulse is induced to the normal state even before the stimulation time set by the user is completed in step S120. have.

On the other hand, if the pulse of the user as a result of the determination in step S110 is the tachycardia, the control unit 100 determines the control acupoints for inducing the current user's pulse in the normal range of the tachycardia stimulation point (FP) classified in step S80 After stimulation for this stimulation time and ends the health care mode (S125).

At this time, the selection and stimulation method of the control acupoints is the same as the above-described step S120.

On the other hand, if the driving mode selected by the user as a result of the step S30 is in the disease improvement mode, the control unit 100 receives a disease selection signal, stimulation time setting signal and acupuncture point classification algorithm selection signal from the user through the input unit 10 Receive (S235, S240, S250).

When the step S250 is completed, the control unit 100 performs steps S260 to S285 in the same manner as the above steps S60 to S85.

As such, when the step S280 or S285 is completed, the control unit 100 first stimulates the acupuncture points corresponding to the user's holding disease input in step S235 (S287), and the steps S290 to S325 in the same manner as the above-described steps S90 to S125. After performing the step, the disease improvement mode is terminated.

At this time, the memory unit 20 is preferably stored in advance the information on the acupuncture points stimulated for each disease, as shown in the above [Table 1] to [Table 5], the control unit 100 by using the S287 Perform the steps.
