As for the terms used in the present invention, general terms that are currently widely used as possible have been selected, but in certain cases, there are also terms arbitrarily selected by the applicant. So the meaning should be understood.

Hereinafter, the technical configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

1 is a diagram showing a portable acupressure audio device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a portable acupressure audio device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2 , the portable acupressure audio device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a case 110 , a speaker 120 , and an acupressure detection button 130 , and a mode selection button 130 ,

control buttons

140 and 141 , control board 150 , battery 160 , charging port 161 , memory slot 170 , on/off button 180 and an external output terminal 190 . can do.

The case 110 is made of a size that a user can hold by hand, and a speaker 120 is provided on the inside and a body part where the acupressure protrusion 111 is formed so that acupressure can be performed and the music is played. made up of the head

The speaker 120 is provided inside the head of the case 110 and outputs music or chuimsae.

In addition, the chuimsae is a sound inserted to stimulate excitement while music is being output. can

The acupressure sensing button 130 is provided on the body portion of the case 110, when the user presses the acupressure protrusion 111 for acupressure, the lower portion of the acupressure protrusion 111 or the It is provided on the acupressure projection 111 .

In addition, although it is shown that the acupressure sensing button 130 is one in the drawing, it is of course that a plurality of the acupressure sensing buttons 130 may be provided.

In addition, when the acupressure detection button 130 is pressed, the chuimsae is output to the speaker 120 .

In addition, the chuimsae is output by pressing the acupressure sensing button 130 while music is being output.

That is, the user can increase excitement by inserting chuimsae by acupressure when outputting music, thereby enhancing interest in acupressure exercise.

A mode in which chuimsae is output due to the pressure of the acupressure sensing button 130 while music is being output is referred to as a chuimsae output mode, and the mode can be switched with the mode selection button 140 .

The mode selection button 140 protrudes from the outside of the case 110 , specifically, between the body part and the head part, and the mode is switched every time it is pressed.

In addition, the mode includes a manual playback mode in addition to the aforementioned Chuimsae output mode.

In addition, the manual playback mode plays music for a predetermined time, and when the acupressure sensing button 130 is pressed, the music playback time is increased according to the number of times it is pressed.

For example, when acupressure is performed once, music is played for 10 seconds, and before the music playback is finished, when acupressure is applied again, 10 seconds are extended so that music can be continuously enjoyed.

In addition, by performing acupressure several times in advance for 10 seconds while music is being played, it is also possible to extend the music playback time for more than 10 seconds.

Therefore, since the user must continuously perform the acupressure exercise in order to continuously enjoy the music, there is an advantage in that the effect of the acupressure exercise can be maximized.

In addition, the mode may further include a radio mode for outputting a radio and a Bluetooth mode for receiving and outputting a sound source output from an external device such as a smart phone through Bluetooth communication.

In addition, even when music is played in the radio mode and the Bluetooth mode, it is possible to extend the music playback time according to the output of Chuimsae or the number of times of acupressure.
