[3] Structure of massage unit 23

Fig. 3 is a perspective view schematically showing the structure of the massage unit 23.

The massage unit 23 is attached to the guide rails 28 and 29 so as to be movable up and down. The massage unit 23 includes a main frame 41 having a rectangular frame shape. The main frame 41 is composed of a pair of left and right side walls, and a top wall and a bottom wall that respectively connect upper ends and lower ends of the side walls. A guide shaft 42 extending in the left-right direction and a lifting drive shaft 43 are rotatably attached to the main frame 41.

The guide shaft 42 is disposed at an upper portion of the main frame 41, and the elevating drive shaft 43 is disposed at a lower portion of the main frame 41. Both ends of the guide shaft 42 and the lifting drive shaft 43 protrude outward from both side walls of the main frame 41. Guide rollers 44 guided by the guide rails 28 and 29 are attached to both ends of the guide shaft 42. Pinions 45 that mesh with racks (not shown) provided on the guide rails 28, 29 are attached to both ends of the lifting drive shaft 43.

An elevating motor 46 for rotating the elevating drive shaft 43 is attached to the main frame 41. The elevating motor 46 is coupled to the elevating drive shaft 43 via a gear mechanism 47. The massage unit 23 is moved up and down along the guide rails 28, 29 by the rotation of the up-and-down motor 46.

The massage unit 23 is provided with an elevation position sensor 48, and the elevation position sensor 48 detects an elevation position (vertical position) of the massage unit 23 by detecting a rotation amount of the elevation drive shaft 43. The elevation position sensor 48 is constituted by a rotary encoder for detecting the amount of rotation of the elevation drive shaft 43.

A swing frame 49 is attached to a lengthwise middle portion of the elevating drive shaft 43 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction. A pair of right and left treatment tools 51 and a treatment tool driving unit 50 including a driving mechanism for the treatment tools 51 are attached to the swing frame 49. The main frame 41 is provided with a treatment member driving unit advancing and retreating mechanism for advancing and retreating the swing frame (treatment member driving unit) in the front-rear direction.

The treatment member driving unit advancing and retreating mechanism will be explained. An advance/retreat shaft 52 disposed below the guide shaft 42 and extending in the left-right direction is rotatably attached to the main frame 41. A forward/backward movement motor 53 for rotating the forward/backward movement shaft 52 is attached to one side portion of the main frame 41. The forward/backward movement motor 53 is connected to the forward/backward movement shaft 52 via a gear mechanism 54.

Such kneading mechanisms and striking mechanisms are well known.

[4] Electric structure of massager 2

Fig. 4A is a block diagram showing an electrical structure of the massage machine 2. Fig. 4B is an air circuit diagram showing an air circuit from the air pump to each airbag.

Referring to fig. 4A, a control unit 60 for controlling the massage machine 2 is built in the massage machine 2. The control unit 60 includes a microcomputer, and includes a CPU, a memory (RAM, ROM, nonvolatile memory) 91, and the like. The memory 61 stores various data in addition to the program of the CPU.

The memory 61 (work memory) has an intensity value storage area 62. The intensity value storage area 62 stores intensity values for a plurality of body parts for the mechanical massage and intensity values for a plurality of body parts for the air massage. The intensity values of the plurality of body parts for the mechanical massage include eight intensity values for the shoulder, the back, the waist and the hip. Shoulder, under shoulder, over back, under back, over waist, under waist and hip are examples of "first body parts" of the present invention.

The strength values for each of the plurality of body parts for the air massage include six strength values for the upper arm, forearm, waist, thigh, calf and sole. The upper arm, forearm, waist, thigh, calf and sole are examples of "first body parts" of the present invention.

The first body part is a detailed part of each part of the body of the person to be treated that can be treated by the massage machine, and the second body part described later is an enlarged part obtained by summarizing the detailed parts of the plurality of first body parts. The second body part includes five of the shoulder and back (including the shoulder and back), the vicinity of the arm, the waist, the vicinity of the pelvis, and the leg.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the "intensity values for each of the plurality of body parts for the mechanical massage" and the "intensity values for each of the plurality of body parts for the air massage" will be collectively referred to as "intensity values for each of the first body parts". When the intensity value for the mechanical massage and the intensity value for the air massage are present for the same body part as in the waist of the present embodiment, the above-mentioned "intensity value of each first body part" as a general term is included separately from both. Therefore, the intensity value of each first body part is stored in the intensity value storage area 62.

For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, the "intensity value for each of the plurality of body parts for the mechanical massage" is referred to as "intensity value for each of the first body parts for the mechanical massage", and the "intensity value for each of the plurality of body parts for the air massage" is referred to as "intensity value for each of the first body parts for the air massage". That is, in the present specification, "first body part" in the intensity values for the respective first body parts of the mechanical massage means shoulder, back, waist, and hip, and "first body part" in the intensity values for the respective first body parts of the air massage means upper arm, forearm, waist, thigh, calf, and sole.

The intensity value of each first body part for the mechanical massage is represented by a value corresponding to the amount of protrusion of the treatment tool driving unit 50 from the main frame 41 when the first body part is massaged. Normally, the strength is adjusted to about three levels, but in the present embodiment, the strength can be adjusted in detail by using the projection amount of the driving means. Therefore, the massage machine according to the present embodiment can perform very fine intensity adjustment according to the preference of the user. The value of each intensity value of the mechanical massage is within the range of 1-70. When the intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage is changed by the intensity value changing function of the portable terminal 3 described later, the intensity value serving as a reference for calculating the changed intensity value is referred to as a "reference intensity value" for each first body part of the mechanical massage. Initial values of the reference intensity values for the mechanical massage are set on the massager 2 side.

The strength value of each first body part for the air massage is represented by a value corresponding to the air supply time to the air cells when the air cells corresponding to the first body part are inflated. Therefore, the massage machine according to the present embodiment can perform very fine intensity adjustment according to the preference of the user. The value of each intensity value for air massage is in the range of 1-7.

When the intensity value for each first body part of the air massage is changed by the intensity value changing function of the portable terminal 3 described later, the intensity value serving as a reference for calculating the changed intensity value is referred to as a "reference intensity value" for each first body part of the air massage. In the present embodiment, the initial value of each reference intensity value for the air massage is set to a predetermined value (4 in the present embodiment).

Hereinafter, the "reference intensity value" for each first body part of the mechanical massage and the "reference intensity value" for each first body part of the air massage are collectively referred to as "reference intensity values for each first body part".

When the massage is performed by the massage machine 2, the control section 60 controls the massage intensity of each first body part using the intensity value of each first body part stored in the intensity value storage area 62.

The controller 60 is connected to the remote controller 25, a drive circuit 71 of the backrest turning actuator 21, and a drive circuit 72 of the ottoman turning actuator 22. The control unit 60 is also connected to a drive circuit 73 of the elevation motor 46, a drive circuit 74 of the advancing and retreating motor 53, a drive circuit 75 of the kneading motor 58, and a drive circuit 76 of the striking motor 59 in the massage unit 23. The control unit 60 is also connected to a pressure sensor 70, a lifting position sensor 48, and a front-rear position sensor 57 in the massage unit 23.

The control unit 60 is also connected to a drive circuit 77 of the air pump 81 and a drive circuit 78 of the plurality of solenoid valves 82a to 82 u. Air is supplied from the air pump 81 to the air bags 31a to 36b using the respective electromagnetic valves 82a to 82 u. Hereinafter, the solenoid valves 82a to 82u are collectively referred to as the solenoid valves 82.

Referring to fig. 4B, the right upper arm airbag 31a is connected to the solenoid valve 82a, and the left upper arm airbag 31B is connected to the solenoid valve 85B. The right thigh lateral airbag 32a is connected to the solenoid valve 82c, and the left thigh lateral airbag 32b is connected to the solenoid valve 82 d. The right upper thigh rear upper bladder 32c is connected to the solenoid valve 82e, and the left upper thigh rear upper bladder 32d is connected to the solenoid valve 82 f. The thigh rear lower air bag 32e is connected to the solenoid valve 82 g.

The solenoid valve 82h is connected to the forearm main body bladder 33a of the right arm, and the solenoid valve 82i is connected to the forearm main body bladder 33b of the left arm. The right-hand air bag 33c is connected to the solenoid valve 82j, and the left-hand air bag 33d is connected to the solenoid valve 82 k. The right waist airbag 36a is connected to the solenoid valve 82t, and the left waist airbag 36b is connected to the solenoid valve 82 u.

The solenoid valve 821 is connected to the right calf transverse air bag 34a, and the solenoid valve 82m is connected to the left calf transverse air bag 34 b. The right calf posterior chamber 34c is connected to the solenoid valve 82n, and the left calf posterior chamber 34d is connected to the solenoid valve 82 o. The right instep side airbag 35a is connected to the solenoid valve 82p, and the left instep side airbag 35b is connected to the solenoid valve 82 q. The right sole side air bag 35c is connected to the solenoid valve 82r, and the left sole side air bag 35d is connected to the solenoid valve 82 s.

In the present embodiment, the electromagnetic valves are provided individually for the airbags arranged in pairs on the left and right sides, but one electromagnetic valve may be provided in common for the two airbags arranged in pairs.

When the electromagnetic valve 82 of a certain air bag is excited, air is supplied from the air pump 81 to the air bag via the electromagnetic valve 82. Thereby, the balloon is inflated. When the solenoid valve 82 of the airbag is demagnetized, the air in the airbag is discharged to the outside through the solenoid valve. Thereby, the airbag is contracted.

The control unit 60 controls the

drive circuits

71 and 72 of the

actuators

21 and 22 based on an operation of the remote controller 25, an operation of the mobile terminal 3, and the like. The control unit 60 controls the drive circuits 73 to 76 of the

motors

46, 53, 58, and 59, the drive circuit 77 of the air pump 81, and the drive circuit 78 of the electromagnetic valve 82 based on the operation of the remote controller 25, the operation of the portable terminal 3, and the like.

Thereby, the massage machine 2 can perform various massages. Further, the massage machine 2 can perform initial value setting processing for setting an initial value of the reference intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage. Details of the initial value setting process will be described later.

The operation modes of the massage machine 2 mainly include an application mode in which the massage machine 2 is controlled by operating the portable terminal 3 and a remote controller mode in which the massage machine 2 is controlled by operating the remote controller 25.

The massage mode includes a manual mode, an automatic mode, a human map mode, a health care mode, a history mode, and the like. The manual mode as well as the automatic mode are massage modes that can be executed mainly in the remote controller mode. The body map mode, the health care mode, and the history mode are massage modes that can be executed mainly in the application program mode.

The same function as in the application mode can be executed in the remote controller mode.

When the user performs a predetermined operation on the item determination screen, the massage machine 2 executes the presented massage item.

[8] Setting of application program mode

When the user sets the operation mode of the massage machine 2 to the application mode, the user sets the operation mode to the application mode by operating the remote controller 25 after starting the massage machine 2. When the operation mode is set to the application mode, the control unit 60 performs a process (initial value setting process) for setting an initial value of the reference intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage. A method of setting an initial value of the reference intensity value will be described.

First, the control unit 60 performs processing for detecting the shoulder position of the user. Specifically, the controller 60 drives the elevation motor 46 to move the massage unit 23 to the uppermost position. Subsequently, the control unit 60 drives the elevation motor 46 to gradually lower the massage unit 23, and acquires the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 70. When the pressure value becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined first threshold value, the control unit 60 stops the elevation motor 46. Then, the height position of the massage unit 23 is detected as the shoulder position of the user based on the output of the elevation position sensor 48.

The control section 60 determines the height positions of the shoulder, under the shoulder, on the back, under the back, on the waist, under the waist, and the hip (more precisely, positions in the direction along the moving path of the massage unit 23) based on the shoulder position of the user as body part positions corresponding to these body parts. The positions of the shoulder, back, waist, and hip determined by y1 to y8 in the XY coordinates of fig. 9 are shown. In the XY coordinates of fig. 9, when the massage machine 1 is viewed from the left direction, the Y axis is taken in the direction along the moving path of the massage unit 23, and the X axis is taken in the direction extending forward from the lowermost end position of the massage unit 23. In fig. 9, the Y axis is drawn linearly, but the Y axis is curved when the moving path of the massage unit 23 is curved when viewed from the left-right direction.

Subsequently, the control unit 60 performs processing for setting the initial values of the reference intensity values for the body part positions y1 to y 8.

The control unit 60 first drives the advancing/retreating motor 53 at the shoulder position to advance the treatment instrument driving unit 50 to the rearmost position. Next, the control unit 60 drives the advancing/retreating motor 53 at the shoulder position to gradually move the treatment instrument driving unit 50 forward (toward the back of the user) and acquire the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 70. When the pressure value reaches the predetermined second threshold value, the control unit 60 stops the advancing/retreating motor 53. Then, a value corresponding to the amount of advance of the treatment member driving unit 50 is stored in the intensity value storage area 62 as an initial value of the reference intensity value for the shoulder position based on the front-rear position sensor 57.

Subsequently, the control unit 60 drives the advancing/retreating motor 53 to retreat the treatment instrument driving unit 50 to the final position, and then drives the elevating motor 46 to move the massage unit 23 to the under-shoulder position and stop. Next, the control unit 60 drives the advancing/retreating motor 53 at the shoulder position, gradually moves the treatment instrument driving unit 50 forward, and acquires the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 70. When the pressure value reaches the second threshold value, the control unit 60 stops the advancing/retreating motor 53. Then, a value corresponding to the amount of advance of the treatment member driving unit 50 is stored in the intensity value storage area 62 as an initial value for the reference intensity value under the shoulder based on the front-rear position sensor 57.

In the following, by the same operation, initial values of the reference intensity values for the back upper, the back lower, the waist upper, the waist lower, and the hip are obtained and stored in the intensity value storage area 62. Initial values of basic intensity reference values for the eight body part positions y1 to y8 are schematically represented as x1 to x8 in the XY coordinates of fig. 9. x1 to x8 are values corresponding to the amount of advance of the treatment member drive unit 50.

In this way, when the initial values of the reference intensity values for the eight body part positions are stored in the intensity value storage area 62, the control section 60 performs processing for pairing with the mobile terminal 3. Thereby, the operation display unit 26 displays the pairing waiting screen as shown in fig. 6B.

When the massage machine 2 and the mobile terminal 3 are connected, a pairing completion screen as shown in fig. 6C is displayed on the operation display unit 26. When a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed after the connection completion screen is displayed, the remote control home screen is displayed on the operation display unit 26 (see fig. 6A).

When the massage machine 2 and the portable terminal 3 are in a connected state, the control unit 60 transmits the initial value of the reference intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage stored in the intensity value storage area 62 to the portable terminal 3. Upon receiving the initial values of the reference intensity values, the control unit 90 of the portable terminal 3 stores the received initial values of the reference intensity values in a first reference intensity value storage unit 151A (see fig. 5) described later as reference intensity values for the respective first body parts of the mechanical massage. The control unit 90 of the portable terminal 3 stores the initial value of the received reference intensity value in the first region E1 of the intensity value history storage unit 152A (see fig. 5) described later as an intensity value (or history data) for each first body part of the mechanical massage.

When the operation mode of the massage machine 2 is set to the application mode by the remote controller operation by the user, the control unit 60 may first perform processing for pairing with the mobile terminal 3. After the massager 2 and the mobile terminal 3 are connected, the control unit 60 may perform an initial value setting process for setting an initial value of the reference intensity value, and transmit the obtained initial value of the reference intensity value to the mobile terminal 3.

In this case, before the initial value setting process is performed, the control unit 60 may check whether or not the reference intensity values for the respective first body parts of the mechanical massage are stored in the portable terminal 3 by communication with the portable terminal 3. When the portable terminal 3 stores the reference intensity values for the respective first body parts of the mechanical massage, the control unit 60 may not perform the initial value setting process.

[9] Structure for realizing function of changing intensity value and function of optimizing intensity value

Referring to fig. 5, in order to realize the intensity value changing function and the intensity value optimizing function, the memory 91 includes a reference intensity value storage unit 151, an intensity value history storage unit 152, an optimum value calculation result storage unit 153, an intensity value changing table 154, and the like. The memory 91 further includes a massage history storage unit 155. The intensity value history storage unit 152 is an example of the "intensity value storage unit" and the "intensity value history storage unit" of the present invention.

The reference intensity value storage unit 151 includes a first reference intensity value storage unit 151A and a second reference intensity value storage unit 151B. Fig. 10A is a schematic diagram showing an example of the contents of the first reference intensity value storage unit 151A, and fig. 10B is a schematic diagram showing an example of the contents of the second reference intensity value storage unit 151B.

The first reference intensity value storage unit 151A stores reference intensity values for the respective first body parts of the mechanical massage. As described above, the initial value of the reference intensity value for the mechanical massage set by the massage machine 2 is stored in the first reference intensity value storage unit 151A at the time of application mode setting. When the intensity value for the mechanical massage is optimized by the intensity value optimizing function, the optimized intensity value is stored as a reference intensity value in the first reference intensity value storage unit 151A. Thereby, the reference intensity value in the first reference intensity value storage unit 151A is updated.

The second reference intensity value storage unit 151B stores reference intensity values for the respective first body parts of the air massage. The initial value of the reference intensity value stored in the second reference intensity value storage unit 151B is 4 in the present embodiment. When the intensity value for the air massage is optimized by the intensity value optimizing function, the optimized intensity value is stored as the reference intensity value in the second reference intensity value storage unit 151B. Thereby, the reference intensity value in the second reference intensity value storage unit 151B is updated.

The intensity value history storage unit 152 includes a first intensity value history storage unit 152A and a second intensity value history storage unit 152B. Fig. 11A is a schematic diagram showing an example of the contents of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A, and fig. 11B is a schematic diagram showing an example of the contents of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B.

When the intensity value of each first body part for the mechanical massage is changed by the intensity value changing function or optimized by the intensity value optimizing function, the changed intensity value or the optimized intensity optimal value is stored as the latest history data in the first intensity value history storage unit 152A. However, as described above, at the time of setting the application mode, the initial value of the reference intensity value for the mechanical massage is stored as the first history data in the first intensity value history storage unit 152A. The first intensity value history storage unit 152A stores history data of the last five times of the mechanical massage.

The first intensity value history storage unit 152A has first to fifth areas E1 to E5. The first area E1, the second area E2, the third area E3, the fourth area E4, and the fifth area E5 store the current intensity value, the one-time previous intensity value, the two-time previous intensity value, the three-time previous intensity value, and the four-time previous intensity value, respectively, as history data. Hereinafter, the first region E1 of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A may be referred to as a "first intensity value storage unit 150A". The first intensity value storage unit 150A is an example of the "intensity value storage unit" of the present invention.

When the intensity value for each first body part of the air massage is changed by the intensity value changing function or optimized by the intensity value optimizing function, the changed intensity value or the optimized intensity optimized value is stored as history data in the second intensity value history storage unit 152B. However, the initial value (4 in the present embodiment) of the reference intensity value for the air massage is stored as the first history data in the second intensity value history storage unit 152B. The second intensity value history storage unit 152B stores history data of the last five times of the air massage.

The second intensity value history storage unit 152B has first to fifth areas E1 to E5. The first area E1, the second area E2, the third area E3, the fourth area E4, and the fifth area E5 store the current intensity value, the one-time previous intensity value, the two-time previous intensity value, the three-time previous intensity value, and the four-time previous intensity value, respectively, as history data.

Hereinafter, the first region E1 of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B may be referred to as "second intensity value storage unit 150B". The second intensity value storage unit 150B is an example of the "intensity value storage unit" of the present invention. Hereinafter, the first intensity value storage unit 150A and the second intensity value storage unit 150B are collectively referred to as "intensity value storage unit 150".

The optimum value calculation result storage unit 153 stores the calculation result of the optimum value. As described later, each time the history data of each first body part in the intensity value history storage unit 152 is updated, the optimum value of the intensity value of each first body part is calculated based on the updated history data of each first body part. Then, the calculated optimum value of the intensity value of each first body part is stored in the optimum value calculation result storage section 153.

Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the contents of the intensity value change table 154.

The intensity value change table 154 is a table used when the intensity value of each first body part is changed by the intensity value change function. In the intensity value change table 154, "the added value to the reference intensity value" corresponding to the intensity adjustment value is stored for each of the plurality of second body parts, the types of mechanical massage and air massage, and the first body part, which are more common than the first body part. Among the second plurality of body parts are five of the shoulder and back (including the shoulder and back), near the arms, the waist, near the pelvis, and the legs.

As described later, the intensity adjustment value can be set by the user for each second body part. In the present embodiment, as shown in the upper column of the intensity value change table 154, there are five intensity adjustment values of "-2", "-1", "normal (═ 0)", "1", and "2". The "added value to the reference intensity value" is a value obtained by adding the reference intensity values stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151 in order to calculate the intensity value of each first body part after the change.

The massage history storage unit 155 stores, as massage history data, the ID and the intensity reference value of the massage item to be executed by the massage machine 2 in the application mode.

Returning to fig. 5, the control unit 90 includes an intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92 and an intensity value change unit 93 to achieve the intensity value change function.

The intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92 acquires the intensity adjustment value of each second body part based on the user operation.

The intensity value changing section 93 changes the intensity value of each first body part in the intensity value storage section 150 based on the massage intensity adjustment value of each second body part acquired by the intensity adjustment value acquiring section 92. As described above, the intensity value storage unit 150 corresponds to the first region E1 of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A and the first region E1 of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B.

The intensity value changing unit 93 includes a new intensity value calculating unit 93A and an updating unit 93B.

The new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value of each first body part reflecting the intensity adjustment value, using the intensity adjustment value of each second body part acquired by the intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92. Specifically, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value for each body part using the intensity adjustment value for each second body part acquired by the intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92 and the reference intensity value for each first body part stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151.

In the present embodiment, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value for each first body part based on the intensity adjustment value for each second body part acquired by the intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92, the reference intensity value for each first body part stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151, and the contents of the intensity value change table 154.

In the present embodiment, the intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92 and the new intensity value calculation unit 93A constitute a "new intensity value acquisition processing unit" in the present invention.

The updating unit 93B updates the content of the intensity value storage unit 150 based on the new intensity value of each first body part calculated by the new intensity value calculating unit 93A. In the present embodiment, the update unit 93B updates the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 including the intensity value storage unit 150 based on the new intensity value of each first body part.

In order to achieve the intensity value optimization function, the control unit 90 includes the intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A, the update unit 93B that is the "first update unit" of the present invention, the optimum value calculation unit 94, and the update unit 95 that is the "second update unit", the "third update unit", and the "fourth update unit" of the present invention.

The optimum value calculating unit 94 calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each first body part based on the history data of the last two times or more stored in the intensity value history storage unit 152. Specifically, the optimum value calculating unit 94 calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each first body part based on the average value of the history data of the last five times stored in the intensity value history storage unit 152. However, when the history data stored in the intensity value history storage unit 152 is less than five times, the optimum value calculation unit 94 calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each first body part based on the average value of the history data of the number of times stored in the intensity value history storage unit 152. In the present embodiment, the optimum value calculation unit 94 calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each body part and stores the optimum value in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153 each time the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 is updated by the update unit 93B or the update unit 95.

When "predetermined condition" is satisfied, the updating unit 95 updates the content of the intensity value storage unit 150 based on the intensity optimum value calculated by the optimum value calculating unit 96. In the present embodiment, when the "predetermined condition" is satisfied, the updating unit 95 updates the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 including the intensity value storage unit 150 and the content of the reference intensity value storage unit 151 based on the intensity optimum value stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153. The "predetermined conditions" will be described later.

In the above-described body map mode, a massage item suitable for a muscle stiffness portion (body portion) and a muscle stiffness condition input by the user is determined. Therefore, in the massage item determined by the body map mode, the intensity value of each first body part is obtained in consideration of the muscle stiffness part (body part) input by the user and the muscle stiffness. Therefore, the "new intensity value acquisition processing unit" of the present invention may be configured by a function processing unit that executes a human map mode. That is, when the massage item is determined in the body map mode and executed by the massage machine 2, the intensity value of each first body part set by the massage item may be processed as a new intensity value of each first body part.

[10] Detailed description of the function of changing the intensity value

When a massage item is determined in the human map mode, the health care mode, or the history mode, an item determination screen 160 such as that shown in fig. 13A is displayed on the operation display unit 103.

The item determination screen 160 displays the names, the massage times, and the contents of the massage items determined by the control unit 90, and also displays a personalized selection button 161, a massage start button 162, and the like. In the example of fig. 13A, the whole body fatigue recovery item is displayed as the name of the massage item.

The massage start button 162 displayed on the item determination screen 160 is operable, but the massage start button 177 displayed on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 of fig. 13B described later is not operable. Therefore, in the item determination screen 160, the massage start button 162 is displayed in a first color (for example, blue) indicating operability, and in the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170, the massage start button 177 is displayed in a second color (for example, gray) indicating non-operability.

When the user taps the massage start button 162, the control unit 90 of the portable terminal 3 transmits information including the ID of the massage item displayed on the item determination screen 160 (hereinafter referred to as "item ID") and the intensity value of each first body part stored in the intensity value storage unit 150 to the massage machine 2. When receiving the item ID and the intensity value of each first body part from the portable terminal 3, the control unit 60 of the massage machine 2 stores the intensity value of each first body part in the intensity value storage area 62. Then, the control unit 60 executes the massage item corresponding to the received item ID. At this time, the control section 60 controls the massage intensity based on the intensity value of each first body part in the intensity value storage area 62 (the intensity value of each first body part received this time).

The control unit 90 of the portable terminal 3 stores information including the item ID, the intensity value of each first body part, the transmission date and time (massage date and time) and the like transmitted to the massage machine 2 in the massage history storage unit 155 as massage history information. The massage history information stored in the massage history storage unit 155 is used as a massage item selection candidate for the history pattern. The massage history information stored in the massage history storage unit 155 is transmitted to the server 4 at a predetermined timing.

The personalized selection button 161 is provided for performing a strength value change function. When the user wants to change the intensity value of the massage intensity, the user taps the personalized selection button 161. When the personalized selection button 161 is tapped, an intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 as shown in fig. 13B is displayed on the operation display unit 103.

The intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 includes a title area F1, an adjustment value setting area F2, a button display area F3, and the like.

The header area F1 is an area at the upper end of the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170. The title name of "personalized selection" and the like are displayed in the title area F1.

The adjustment value setting area F2 is disposed below the header area F1. In the adjustment value setting area F2, first to fifth adjustment value setting sections 171 to 175 for setting the intensity adjustment value for the second body part by the user are displayed in a vertical arrangement. Details thereof will be described later.

The button display region F3 is disposed below the adjustment value setting region F2. In the button display region F3, an intensity value changing button 176 and a massage start button 177 are displayed. However, in the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170, the massage start button 177 is not operable, and therefore, the display is performed in a second color (gray in this example).

The first to fifth adjustment value setting sections 171 to 175 will be explained. The first adjustment value setting unit 171 is a setting unit for setting an intensity adjustment value for the shoulder and back. The second adjustment value setting unit 172 is a setting unit for setting an intensity adjustment value for the vicinity of the arm. The third adjustment value setting unit 173 is a setting unit for setting an intensity adjustment value for the waist. The fourth adjustment value setting unit 174 is a setting unit for setting an intensity adjustment value for the vicinity of the pelvis. The fifth adjustment value setting unit 175 is a setting unit for setting an intensity adjustment value for a leg.

In each of the adjustment value setting units 171 to 175, the user can set an intensity adjustment value of "-2", "-1", "normal (═ 0)", "1", or "2" for the corresponding second body part. Specifically, the user moves the circular pointer left and right by sliding or tapping, thereby setting the intensity adjustment value. Then, when the setting operation of the intensity adjustment value is completed, the user taps the intensity value change button 176. Thereby, the intensity value change instruction is input.

When the intensity value change instruction is input, the control unit 90 (intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92) acquires the intensity adjustment value of each second body part. Then, the control unit 90 (new intensity value calculation unit 93A) calculates new intensity values of the respective first body parts reflecting the intensity adjustment values, using the intensity adjustment values of the respective second body parts acquired by the intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92. Specifically, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value for each first body part based on the intensity adjustment value for each second body part, the reference intensity value for each body part stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151, and the content of the intensity value change table 154.

More specifically, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A first acquires the "added value to the reference intensity value" of each first body part from the intensity value change table 154 based on the intensity adjustment value of each second body part and the content of the intensity value change table 154. Next, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value for each first body part by adding the "added value to the reference intensity value" for each first body part acquired from the intensity value change table 154 to the reference intensity value for the corresponding first body part.

According to the intensity value change table 154 in fig. 12, for example, when the intensity adjustment value for the waist is 2, the "added value to the reference intensity value" for the upper, lower, and lower portions of the waist in the mechanical massage is 16, and the "added value to the reference intensity value" for the lower, and upper portions of the waist in the air massage is 2. Therefore, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value by adding 16 to the corresponding reference intensity value stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151 for the upper, lower, and upper waists in the mechanical massage. For the waist in the air massage, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A adds 2 to the corresponding reference intensity value stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151, thereby calculating a new intensity value.

Next, the control unit 90 (updating unit 93B) updates the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 based on the new intensity value of each first body part calculated by the new intensity value calculating unit 93A. Specifically, the updating unit 93B transfers the history data of the first region E1, the second region E2, the third region E3, and the fourth region E4 in the intensity value history storage unit 152(152A, 152B) to the second region E2, the third region E3, the fourth region E4, and the fifth region E5, respectively, and then stores the new intensity value of each first body part in the first region E1.

Thus, the content of the intensity value storage unit 150 is updated simultaneously with the updating of the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 including the intensity value storage unit 150.

When the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 is updated by the updating unit 93B, the control unit 90 (optimum value calculating unit 94) calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each first body part based on the updated content of the intensity value history storage unit 152, and stores the optimum value in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153. Thereby, the content of the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153 is updated. In the present embodiment, the optimum intensity value for each first body part is a value obtained by rounding the average value of the historical data of the last five times for the corresponding first body part.

When the content immediately after the update of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A is, for example, the content shown in fig. 11A, the average values (rounded values) of the history data of the last five times for each first body part of the shoulder, the shoulder lower, the back upper, the back lower, the waist upper, the waist lower, and the hip are 49, 44, 28, 33, and 33, respectively. In addition, when the content immediately after the update of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B is, for example, the content shown in fig. 11B, the average values (rounded values) of the history data of the last five times for each first body part of the upper arm, forearm, thigh, calf, and sole are 4, 3, 5, and 5.

When the intensity value change button 176 is tapped on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170, the display screen changes from the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 (fig. 13B) to the item determination screen 160 (fig. 13A). Subsequently, when the user taps the massage start button 163 on the item determination screen 160, the control unit 90 of the portable terminal 3 transmits the ID of the massage item displayed on the item determination screen 160 and the intensity value of each first body part stored in the intensity value storage unit 150 (the first region E1 of the intensity value history storage unit 152) to the massage machine 2.

When receiving the item ID and the intensity value of each first body part from the portable terminal 3, the control unit 60 of the massage machine 2 stores the intensity value of each first body part in the intensity value storage area 62. Then, the control unit 60 executes the massage item corresponding to the received item ID. At this time, the control section 60 controls the intensity value of the massage based on the intensity value of each first body part in the intensity value storage area 62 (the intensity value of each first body part received this time). Therefore, the intensity value of the massage is controlled based on the intensity value of each first body part after the intensity value is changed.

The method for setting the intensity adjustment value may be the following method (hereinafter, referred to as "another method"). In another method, as in the above-described method, when the personalized selection button 161 is tapped on the item determination screen 160, the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 is displayed on the operation display unit 103. However, in another method, the intensity value setting units 171 to 175 can be operated only by tapping the intensity value change button 176 on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170. The operation of each adjustment value setting unit 171 to 175 may be changed by an erroneous operation. Thus, the operator can check the adjustment value setting unit by operating the adjustment value setting unit, and the operator can be prevented from performing an erroneous operation.

When the intensity value change button 176 is tapped, the operable/inoperable state of the intensity value change button 176 is changed from operable to inoperable, and the operable/inoperable state of the massage start button 177 is changed from inoperable to operable.

In the case of the other method, the user sets the intensity adjustment value for each second body part by the adjustment value setting units 171 to 175 after tapping the intensity value change button 176. Then, when the setting of the intensity adjustment value by pressing the second body part is completed, the user taps the massage start button 177.

When the massage start button 177 is pushed, the control unit 90 (intensity adjustment value acquisition unit 92) acquires the intensity adjustment value of each second body part. Then, the control unit 90 (new intensity value calculation unit 93A) calculates a new intensity value for each first body part based on the intensity adjustment value for each second body part, the reference intensity value for each body part stored in the reference intensity value storage unit 151, and the content of the intensity value change table 154.

Next, the control unit 90 (updating unit 93B) updates the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 based on the new intensity value of each first body part calculated by the new intensity value calculating unit 93A. When the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 is updated by the updating unit 93B, the control unit 90 (optimum value calculating unit 94) calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each first body part based on the updated content of the intensity value history storage unit 152, and stores the optimum value in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153.

Further, the control unit 90 transmits the ID of the massage item displayed on the item determination screen 160 immediately before being displayed on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 and the intensity value of each first body part stored in the intensity value storage unit 150 to the massage machine 2.

[11] Detailed description of the function of intensity value optimization

The optimization mode for optimizing the intensity value includes an automatic mode and a manual mode. The automatic mode is a mode in which the intensity value and the reference intensity value are changed by automatically optimizing each time the intensity value is changed by the intensity value changing function. The manual mode is a mode in which the intensity value and the reference intensity value are changed by the user clicking an optimization execution button 196 (see fig. 14A and 15A) described later to optimize the manual mode.

As described above, in the present embodiment, regardless of the optimization mode, the optimum value is calculated every time the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 is updated, and is stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153. The method of setting the optimization mode will be described later.

[11.1] optimization method in Manual mode

First, a method of optimizing the intensity value for the mechanical massage in the manual mode will be described.

For example, when the user taps the hamburger button 131 on the application home screen 130 shown in fig. 8A, a menu screen 180 as shown in fig. 8B is displayed in a pull-down menu mode. A plurality of menu selection buttons 181 to 187 including an optimization setting button 182 are displayed on a menu screen 180.

When the optimization setting button 182 is tapped by the user, an optimization setting screen 190A for the mechanical massage as shown in fig. 14A is displayed on the operation display unit 103. The optimization setting screen 190A has a title area F1, a mechanical/air selection area F2, an intensity value line display area F3, an execution button display area F4, and an optimization mode setting area F5.

The header area F1 is disposed at the upper end of the optimization setting screen 190A. The title name of "optimization setting" and the like are displayed in the title area F1.

The mechanical/air selection area F2 is disposed below the title area F1. In the machine/air selection area F2, a machine selection button 191 for displaying an optimization setting screen 190A for a mechanical massage and an air selection button 192 for displaying an optimization setting screen 190B (see fig. 15A) for an air massage are arranged in a horizontal direction.

Since the screen of fig. 14A is the optimization setting screen 190A for the mechanical massage, the mechanical selection button 191 is in a selected state. In the screen of fig. 14A, the colors of characters and the like on the mechanical selection button 191 and the air selection button 192 are displayed in different colors so that it can be recognized that the mechanical selection button 191 is selected and the air selection button 192 is not selected. Specifically, the characters or the like on the mechanical selection button 191 are displayed in a third color (for example, blue) indicating that the button is selected, and the characters or the like on the air selection button 192 are displayed in a fourth color (for example, gray) indicating that the button is not selected.

The user can switch the optimization setting screen 190A for the mechanical massage to the optimization setting screen 190B for the air massage by tapping the air selection button 192 on the optimization setting screen 190A (see fig. 15A).

The intensity value line display region F3 is disposed below the machine/air selection region F2. When the optimal setting screen image 190A is viewed from the front, a schematic view of the upper half of the human body when the upper half of the human body seated in the massage machine 2 is viewed from the left direction (hereinafter, referred to as a "body diagram 193") is displayed in the region of the left half of the intensity value line display region F3, and when the optimal setting screen image 190A is viewed from the front, a first intensity value line (reference intensity value line) 194 indicating the current reference intensity value for each first body part subjected to the mechanical massage and a second intensity value line 195 indicating the intensity value of each first body part when the optimization is performed are displayed in the region of the right half of the intensity value line display region F3.

The first intensity value line 194 is generated by drawing solid dots on the current reference intensity value of each first body part at the body part position in the body map 193 and at the position corresponding to the reference intensity value, and connecting these dots by straight lines. That is, the first intensity value line 194 is composed of eight solid dots indicating the current reference intensity value of each first body part, and seven line segments connecting two adjacent dots. The first intensity value line 194 is displayed in a fifth color (e.g., light blue).

The second intensity value line 195 is generated by drawing hollow dots at the body part position of the body diagram 193 and at a position corresponding to the intensity optimum value, and connecting the hollow dots by straight lines, the intensity optimum value for each first body part for mechanical massage stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153. That is, the second intensity value line 195 is composed of eight hollow dots representing the intensity optimum value of each first body part, and seven line segments connecting two adjacent dots. The second intensity value line 195 is displayed in a sixth color (e.g., blue) that is distinguishable from the first intensity value line 194.

In the intensity value line display area F3, explanatory text is displayed indicating that the first intensity value line 194 (light blue line in this example) represents the current reference intensity value of each first body part, and the second intensity value line 195 (blue line in this example) represents the intensity value of each first body part when the optimization is performed.

The execution button display region F4 is disposed below the intensity value line display region F3. In the execution button display area F4, a message indicating optimization based on the intensity value change history and an optimization execution button 196 are displayed.

The optimization execution button 196 displayed on the optimization setting screen 190A of fig. 14A is operable, but the optimization execution button 196 displayed on the optimization setting screen 190A of fig. 14B after optimization is executed is not operable. Therefore, in the optimization setting screen 190A of fig. 14A, the optimization execution button 196 is displayed in the first color (e.g., blue) indicating operability, and in the optimization setting screen 190A of fig. 14B, the optimization execution button 196 is displayed in the second color (e.g., gray) indicating non-operability.

The optimization mode setting area F5 is an area disposed below the execution button display area F4, and is an area near the lower end of the optimization setting screen 190A. A switch 197 for switching the optimization mode between the automatic mode and the manual mode is displayed in the optimization mode setting area F5. The switch 197 is composed of a bar and a circle, and in the off state, the circle is displayed on the left end side of the bar and has an eighth color (for example, gray), and in the on state, the circle is displayed on the right end side of the bar and has a ninth color (for example, blue) different from the eighth color.

When the switch 197 is turned off, the optimization mode is set to the manual mode, and when the switch 197 is turned on, the optimization mode is set to the automatic mode. The switch 197 is turned off in an initial state (default). In the example of fig. 14A, the switch 197 is off, and therefore the optimization mode is the manual mode.

The user determines whether to optimize based on the first line 194 and the second line 195 of intensity values. When it is determined that the optimization is not to be performed, the user taps a return button or the like to return the display screen to, for example, the application home screen 130.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the optimization is to be performed, the user taps the optimization execution button 196. Thereby, the optimized execution instruction is input. When the optimization execution command is input, the control unit 90 (updating unit 95) updates the content of the reference intensity value storage unit 151 and the content of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A based on the intensity optimum value for each first body part of the mechanical massage stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153.

Specifically, the updating unit 95 writes the intensity optimum value for each first body part of the mechanical massage stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153 into the reference intensity value storage unit 151. The updating unit 95 also transmits the history data of the first region E1, the second region E2, the third region E3, and the fourth region E4 in the first intensity value history storage unit 152A to the second region E2, the third region E3, the fourth region E4, and the fifth region E5, respectively, and then stores the optimal intensity value for each first body part for the mechanical massage in the first region E1. Thus, the content of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A is updated, and the content of the first intensity value storage unit 150A is updated.

When the content of the first intensity value history storage unit 152A is updated, the optimum value calculation unit 94 calculates an optimum intensity value based on the content of the updated first intensity value history storage unit 152A, and stores the optimum intensity value in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153.

When the optimization execution button 196 is pressed, the display screen changes from the optimization setting screen 190A shown in fig. 14A to the optimization setting screen 190A shown in fig. 14B. In the optimization setting screen 190A in fig. 14B, the color of the first intensity value line 194 is changed from the fifth color (light blue in this example) to a seventh color (for example, gray) different from both the fifth color and the sixth color (blue in this example). In addition, the hollow portion of the dot of the second intensity value line 195 is filled with a fifth color (light blue in this example). In addition, in the intensity value line display area F3, "optimization completion" is displayed. "is received. Also, the color of the optimization execution button 196 is changed from a first color (blue in this example) indicating operable to a second color (gray in this example) indicating inoperable.

Next, a method of optimizing the intensity value for the air massage in the manual mode will be described.

For example, when the user taps the air selection button 192 on the optimization setting screen 190A shown in fig. 14A or 14B, the display screen changes from the optimization setting screen 190A for the mechanical massage to the optimization setting screen 190B for the air massage as shown in fig. 15A.

The optimization setting screen 190B has a title area F1, a mechanical/air selection area F2, an intensity value bar display area F3, an execution button display area F4, and an optimization mode setting area F5. The optimization setting screen 190B is substantially the same as the optimization setting screen 190A, but the display content in the intensity value bar display region F3 is different from the display content in the intensity value line display region F3.

The title name of "optimization setting" and the like are displayed in the title area F1.

In the mechanical/air selection region F2, the mechanical selection button 191 and the air selection button 192 are arranged in a lateral direction. Since the screen in fig. 15A is the optimization setting screen 190B for the air massage, the air selection button 192 is in a selected state. Thus, text or the like on the air selection button 192 is displayed in a third color (e.g., blue) indicating that the button is selected, and text or the like on the mechanical selection button 191 is displayed in a fourth color (e.g., gray) indicating that the button is not selected.

The user can switch the optimization setting screen 190B for the air massage to the optimization setting screen 190A for the mechanical massage by tapping the machine selection button 191 on the optimization setting screen 190B (see fig. 14A).

In the intensity value bar display area F3, a first intensity value bar 201 indicating the current reference intensity value and a second intensity value bar 202 indicating the optimized intensity value are displayed for each first body part for the air massage. The current reference intensity value is the reference intensity value of the corresponding first body part in the second reference intensity value storage unit 151B. The intensity value at the time of optimization is the intensity optimum value of the corresponding first body part in the optimum value calculation result storage section 153.

When the optimization setting screen 190B is viewed from the front, in the area of the left half of the intensity value bar display area F3, the bar display portions for the upper arm, forearm, and waist, which are divided by the region, are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. In the right half of the intensity value bar display region F3, bar display portions for the thigh, the calf, and the sole, which are divided by region, are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.

A first intensity value bar 201 indicating a current reference intensity value for the corresponding body part and a second intensity value bar 202 indicating an optimized intensity value for the corresponding body part are displayed on the respective bar display sections for each part. The first intensity value bar 201 is a straight line extending in the lateral direction and having a length corresponding to the current reference intensity value (1-7). Therefore, the greater the current reference intensity value, the longer the length of the first intensity value bar 201. In the present embodiment, the first intensity value bar 201 is displayed in a fifth color (light blue in this example).

The second intensity value bar 202 is a line extending in the transverse direction and having a length corresponding to the optimized intensity values (1-7), and is shown below the first intensity value bar 201. Thus, the greater the optimized intensity value, the longer the length of the second intensity value bar 202. In this embodiment, the second intensity value bar 202 is displayed in a sixth color (blue in this example).

In the intensity value bar display area F3, explanatory text indicating that the first intensity value bar 201 (light blue bar in this example) represents the current reference intensity value of each first body part, and the second intensity value bar 202 (blue bar in this example) represents the intensity value of each first body part when optimization is performed is displayed.

The execution button display area F4 displays a message indicating optimization based on the intensity value change history, and an optimization execution button 196. The optimization execution button 196 is displayed in a first color (blue in this example) indicating the operable state.

A switch 197 for switching the optimization mode between the automatic mode and the manual mode is displayed in the optimization mode setting area F5. In the example of fig. 15, the switch 197 is off, and therefore the optimization mode is the manual mode.

The user determines whether to optimize based on the first intensity value bar 201 and the second intensity value bar 202 for each body part. When it is determined that the optimization is not to be performed, the user taps a return button or the like to return the display screen to, for example, the application home screen 130.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the optimization is to be performed, the user taps the optimization execution button 196. Thereby, the optimized execution instruction is input. When the optimization execution command is input, the control unit 60 (updating unit 95) updates the contents of the reference intensity value storage unit 151 and the contents of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B based on the intensity optimum values for the respective first body parts of the air massage stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153.

Specifically, the updating unit 95 writes the intensity optimum value for each first body part of the air massage stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153 into the reference intensity value storage unit 151. The updating unit 95 also transmits the history data of the first region E1, the second region E2, the third region E3, and the fourth region E4 in the second intensity value history storage unit 152B to the second region E2, the third region E3, the fourth region E4, and the fifth region E5, respectively, and then stores the optimal intensity value for each first body part for the air massage in the first region E1. Thus, the content of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B is updated, and the content of the second intensity value storage unit 150B is updated.

When the content of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B is updated, the optimum value calculation unit 94 calculates an optimum value of intensity based on the updated content of the second intensity value history storage unit 152B, and stores the optimum value in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153.

When the optimization execution button 196 is pressed, the display screen changes from the optimization setting screen 190B shown in fig. 15A to the optimization setting screen 190B shown in fig. 15B. In the optimization setting screen 190B of fig. 15B, the color of the first intensity value line 194 is changed from the fifth color (light blue in this example) to the seventh color (gray in this example). In addition, in the intensity value bar display area F3, "optimization completion" is displayed. "is received. Also, the color of the optimization execution button 196 is changed from a first color (blue in this example) indicating operable to a second color (gray in this example) indicating inoperable.

In the present embodiment, when the optimization mode is set to the manual mode, the "predetermined condition" is "operation of the optimization execution button 196 (input of the optimization execution command)".

[11.2] description of automatic mode

For example, when the user turns on the switch 197 on the

optimization setting screens

190A and 190B in fig. 14A, 14B, 15A, and 15B, the optimization mode is set to the automatic mode. When the optimization mode is set to the automatic mode, the optimization execution button 19 is inoperable in fig. 14A and 15A. Therefore, in fig. 14A and 15A, the optimization execution button 19 is displayed in a second color (gray in this example).

As described above, when the intensity value change button 176 on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 (see fig. 13B) is pressed, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates a new intensity value for each first body part. Then, the control unit 90 (updating unit 93B) updates the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 (intensity value storage unit 150) based on the new intensity value of each first body part. Then, the control unit 90 (optimum value calculating unit 94) calculates the optimum value of the intensity of each first body part based on the content of the updated intensity value history storage unit 152, and stores the optimum value in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153.

When the optimization mode is set to the automatic mode, the control unit 90 (updating unit 95) updates the content of the reference intensity value storage unit 151 based on the intensity optimum value of each first body part stored in the optimum value calculation result storage unit 153 at that point in time each time the intensity value change button 176 on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 is pressed.

In the present embodiment, when the optimization mode is set to the automatic mode, the "predetermined condition" is "operation of the intensity value change button 176 (input of an intensity value change instruction)".

In the above-described another method, since the intensity value is changed by operating the massage start button 177, it is considered that the command input by operating the massage start button 177 substantially includes a command (intensity value change command) for changing the intensity value. Therefore, when the above-described another method is adopted and the optimization mode is set to the automatic mode, the "predetermined condition" is "operation of the massage start button 177 (input of the intensity value change instruction) on the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170".

The "predetermined condition" in the manual mode and the "predetermined condition" in the automatic mode are summarized, and the "predetermined condition" is that "an optimization execution command is input in the manual mode" or "an intensity value change command is input in the automatic mode".

In the present embodiment, the intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage can be changed for each second body part (in the present embodiment, around the shoulder, the back, the arms, the waist, and the pelvis). In addition, the intensity value for each first body part for the air massage can be changed for each second body part (in the present embodiment, the vicinity of the arm, the waist, the vicinity of the pelvis, and the leg).

In addition, in the present embodiment, the intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage can be optimized based on the history of changes in the intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage. Thus, the intensity value for each first body part of the mechanical massage can be easily set according to the preference of the user.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the intensity value for each first body part of the air massage can be optimized based on the history of changes in the intensity value for each first body part of the air massage. Thus, the intensity value for each first body part for the air massage can be easily set according to the preference of the user.

[12] Modification example

While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention may be implemented in other embodiments. For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the new intensity value of each first body part is calculated by the new intensity value calculation unit 93A, the control unit 90 (the update unit 93B) updates the content of the intensity value history storage unit 152 based on the new intensity value of each first body part. At this time, the control unit 90 may further transmit the new intensity value of each first body part to the massage machine 2, and the control unit 60 may store (overwrite) the new intensity value of each first body part in the intensity value storage area 62.

The control unit 90 (updating unit 95) may further perform the following operation when updating the contents of the intensity value history storage unit 152 and the reference intensity value storage unit 151 based on the intensity optimum value of each first body part. That is, the updating unit 95 may transmit the intensity optimum value of each first body part to the massage machine 2, and the control unit 60 may store (overwrite) the intensity optimum value of each first body part in the intensity value storage area 62.

In the intensity adjustment value setting screen 170 (see fig. 13B), the intensity adjustment value is set for the second body part, but the intensity adjustment value may be set for the first body part. Further, the intensity adjustment value may be set for a plurality of body parts different from the second body part and the first body part.

In the above-described embodiment, the new intensity value calculation unit 93A calculates the new intensity value using the intensity adjustment value and the reference intensity value, but the current intensity value (the intensity value stored in the intensity value storage unit 150) may be used instead of the reference intensity value. In this case, the reference intensity value storage unit 151 is not necessary.

In the above-described embodiment, the sole-

side air bags

35c and 35d for pressing the sole upward are provided on the bottom surfaces of the pair of left and right foot accommodating recesses 19 (see fig. 2), but a sole roller that is driven to rotate for massaging the sole may be provided instead of the sole-

side air bags

35c and 35 d.
