Abstract

This method makes it possible to control a massage device comprising a plurality of localized tactile elements. It comprises: a step (E10) of obtaining a first audio stream (FA1); a step (E50) of obtaining tactile signals (ST) from at least one characteristic extracted from the content of said first audio stream (FA1); each of said tactile signals (ST) being sent (E60) to one of said tactile elements (11) depending on the location of same in order to activate said tactile element for a time period and at an intensity according to said tactile signal, the tactile signals (ST) being obtained insuch a way that the tactile elements (11) are activated from one to the next so as to create a massage wave propagating in the massage device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of massage systems or devices. Background technique [0002] Document US2011 / 0245586 published on 6 October 2011 describes a leisure armchair comprising a transducer which can be set to vibrate to provide a massage to an individual lying in the armchair. [0003] Unfortunately, this armchair cannot provide a massage similar to that provided by a human masseuse. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the invention is a massage system for performing various massages similar to those given by human masseuses. [0005] More precisely, the invention relates to a method for controlling a massage device comprising a plurality of tactile elements arranged at local locations. [0006] For the purposes of the present invention, a tactile element is a controllable element, optionally of variable intensity, which can be felt by the human body. In particular, the haptic element is a vibrating element, a he...
