In addition, the control unit 100 (display control unit 1002) controls the display 103 and displays the voltage of the signal output by the high voltage circuit 106 (step SA2).

Next, the control unit 100 controls the communication unit 102, and transmits a request message requesting information transmission to the wearable device 20 (step SA3). If the communication unit 202 receives the request message, the control unit 200 (transmitting unit 2001) sends the information indicating the heart rhythm measured by the sensor of the sensor unit 205 (hereinafter referred to as the heart rhythm information) and the information indicating the body temperature ( Hereinafter, body temperature information) and blood pressure information (hereinafter, blood pressure information) are controlled and transmitted to the potential therapy device 10 by controlling the communication unit 202 (step SA4).

For example, the control unit 100 controls the signal of 6000V to output for 10 minutes, then controls the signal of 1000V to output for 20 minutes, and repeats the control several times.

In addition, in the configuration in which the potential therapy device 10 changes the voltage of the signal output to the conductive sheet 11, the change in voltage due to the passage of time may be formed as a graph and displayed on the display 103. When the electric potential therapy device 10 displays the change in voltage as a graph, the graph of the change in voltage may be displayed differently from the graphs of heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. In addition, the horizontal graph may be displayed in one graph. The axis is the elapse of time, and the vertical axis is voltage and heart rate/body temperature/blood pressure, and voltage changes are superimposed on the graphs of heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. In addition, graphs of heart rhythm, body temperature, blood pressure, and graphs of changes in voltage may be alternately displayed in a preset cycle.

For example, the control unit 100 may also calculate the user's calorie consumption heart rate information while receiving the high voltage signal and output to the conductive sheet 11, and the calculated calorie consumption may be displayed on the display 103. Among them, when calculating calorie consumption, body temperature information can also be used.

If the control unit 100 performs an operation instructing the start of treatment, it controls the high-voltage circuit 106 and outputs a high-voltage signal to the conductive sheet 11 (step SD1). In addition, the control unit 100 (display control unit 1002) controls the display 103 and displays the voltage of the signal output by the high voltage circuit 106 (step SD2).

In addition, the control unit 100 (transmission and reception unit 1001) controls the communication unit 102 to transmit a message indicating that the signal is output to the conductive sheet 11 to the wearable device 20 (step SD3). If the communication unit 202 receives the message, the control unit 200 outputs the audio signal to the speaker 206 (step SD4). In this way, the sound is output by the speaker 206, and the user or related personnel of the user can know that the potential therapy device 10 is outputting signals. However, the sound output by the speaker 206 may be output for a predetermined time.

Among them, the wearable device 20 can also turn on and off the touch panel 203 to notify the user or the user's related personnel that the potential therapy device 10 is outputting a signal. In addition, a vibration motor can also be provided in the wearable device 20, and the vibration motor can be controlled according to the received message, thereby notifying the user or the user's related personnel that the potential therapy device 10 is outputting a signal.

In addition, the control unit 100 controls the communication unit 102 to send a request message requesting information transmission to the wearable device 20 (step SD5). If the communication unit 202 receives the request message, the control unit 200 (transmitting unit 2001) sends the heart rhythm information indicating the heart rhythm, the body temperature information indicating the body temperature, and the blood pressure indicating the blood pressure measured by the sensors of the sensor unit 205 The information is transmitted to the electric potential therapy device 10 by controlling the communication unit 202 (step SD6).

The control unit 100 (transmission and transmission unit 1001) receives the heart rate information, body temperature information, and blood pressure information transmitted from the wearable device 20 (step SD7). When the control unit 100 receives the heart rate information, body temperature information, and blood pressure information, it controls the display 103 to form the received information as a graph and display it in another area different from the area where the voltage is displayed (step SD8). Here, the control unit 100 may also simultaneously display the heart rhythm, body temperature, and blood pressure in a graph. In addition, it may also display only the items selected by the user or the user's related personnel among the heart rhythm, body temperature, and blood pressure as a graph for display. .

The electric potential therapy device 10 and the wearable device 20 repeat the processing of steps SD3 to SD8 and execute them in a preset cycle.

The control unit 100 controls the high-voltage circuit 106 and stops outputting the signal to the conductive sheet 11 when the preset time elapses after the operation of instructing the start of treatment (step SD100).

With the fourth embodiment, the user or related personnel of the user can know at hand that the electric potential therapy device 10 is outputting signals through the wearable device 20.

In addition, the processing of step SE1 to step SE6 is the same as the processing of step SA1 to step SA6, so the description is omitted.

If the acceleration sensor of the sensor unit 205 measures acceleration, the control unit 200 (transmission and transmission unit 2001) transmits acceleration information (an example of the body state data of the present invention) representing the measured acceleration to the potential therapy device 10 (Step SE7). The control unit 100 (transmission and reception unit 1001) receives the acceleration information transmitted from the wearable device 20 (step SE8). The control unit 100 determines the state of the user based on the acceleration indicated by the received acceleration information (step SE9). When the control unit 100 (voltage control unit 1003) determines that the user is moving from the acceleration information, it controls the high-voltage circuit 106 and stops outputting the signal to the conductive sheet 11 (step SE10).

With this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the user from continuously outputting signals when moving away from the conductive sheet 11.

Among them, in the fifth embodiment, if the control unit 100 determines from the acceleration information that the user's movement has ended, it controls the high-voltage circuit 106 and restarts outputting signals to the conductive sheet 11. In addition, in the fifth embodiment, the control unit 100 may determine the user's body motion from acceleration information, and change the voltage of the signal output to the conductive sheet 11 in accordance with the determined body motion. In addition, in the fifth embodiment, the control unit 1100 may also change the signal output to the conductive sheet 11, for example, it may change the signal from direct current to alternating current, or from alternating current to direct current, according to body movements.

In addition, the potential therapy device 10 can also change the voltage of the signal output to the conductive sheet 11 according to at least any one of the received heart rhythm information, body temperature information, and blood pressure information. For example, the potential therapy device 10 may also change the voltage of the output signal or stop the signal output when the heart rhythm indicated by the heart rhythm information exceeds a preset threshold value. In addition, the potential therapy device 10 can also change the voltage of the output signal or stop the signal output when the body temperature indicated by the body temperature information exceeds a preset threshold value. In addition, the potential therapy device 10 can also change the voltage of the output signal or stop the signal output when the blood pressure indicated by the blood pressure information exceeds a preset threshold value.
