Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water bath massage technology, specifically relating to a water bath massage system based on the metaverse. Background Technology
[0002] The Metaverse is an artificial virtual space that operates parallel to the real world. In this space, users possess their own virtual identities and digital assets, allowing them to interact freely, engage in production and business activities, and create value. In March 2021, Roblox went public on the NYSE based on the Metaverse concept. In September of the same year, Facebook announced its entry into the Metaverse field. Domestically, well-known companies such as Tencent and ByteDance have also begun to invest in the Metaverse, all indicating that the era of the Metaverse is rapidly approaching. The development of the Metaverse is not simply a matter of the virtual world or the self-iteration of internet technology; it also requires the simultaneous or leading development of physical technologies such as wearable smart devices and the Internet of Things.
[0003] Current hydrotherapy massages typically require consumers to visit specialized massage parlors and be performed by professional staff, making them inconvenient to enjoy anytime, anywhere at home. Therefore, to address these issues, this paper proposes combining hydrotherapy massage with metaverse principles for further improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a water bath massage system based on the metaverse. After the human body wears clothing with artificial muscle modules distributed on it, the artificial muscle modules are driven by the drive module to perform massage according to a preset massage process mode. The virtual image of the massage environment is presented through visual glasses, giving the user an immersive feeling. It has the advantages of convenient operation, high safety and structural stability.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a metaverse-based water bath massage system, comprising wearable clothing and visual glasses for human use, wherein the wearable clothing and the visual glasses are connected via data communication, wherein:
[0006] After the visual glasses and the wearable garment filled with water bath medium are put on the human body, the visual glasses are activated and a preset massage process mode is selected on the display screen (including voice selection, etc.). The visual glasses generate a corresponding matching massage instruction according to the massage process mode and transmit the massage instruction (including wireless and wired connection methods) to the wearable garment.
[0007] The wearable garment includes a drive module and artificial muscle modules distributed on various parts of the (wearable garment). After receiving a massage command, the drive module drives the artificial muscle modules to perform massage actions in the water bath medium that match the preset massage process mode, thereby performing a water bath massage on the human body.
[0008] During a water bath massage, the display shows the force feedback unit, temperature feedback unit, and damping feedback unit, among which:
[0009] The force feedback unit is used to determine whether the current massage force of the artificial muscle module meets the requirements based on (human) sensation. If it does not meet the requirements, it generates a corresponding massage force adjustment command (preferably a voice command, such as increasing / decreasing the massage force) and transmits it to the drive module so that the drive module changes the current massage force of the artificial muscle module (for example, different people have different massage force requirements, satisfying diversified massage force).
[0010] The temperature feedback unit is used to determine whether the temperature of the current water bath medium meets the requirements based on (human) sensation. If it does not meet the requirements, it generates a corresponding massage temperature adjustment command (preferably a voice command, such as increasing / decreasing the massage temperature) and transmits it to the drive module so that the drive module can change the massage temperature of the current water bath medium through the temperature regulator (for example, different people have different massage temperature requirements, satisfying diversified massage temperatures).
[0011] The damping feedback unit is used to determine whether the damping of the current water bath medium meets the requirements based on (human) sensation. If it does not meet the requirements, it generates a corresponding massage damping adjustment command (preferably a voice command, such as increasing / decreasing massage damping) and transmits it to the drive module. This allows the drive module to change the massage damping of the current water bath medium through the damping adjuster (for example, different people have different massage water bath damping needs, and the massage sensation of the artificial muscle module in water bath media with different damping is different, satisfying diversified massage damping).
[0012] As a further preferred technical solution to the above technical solution, during water bath massage, the visual glasses generate a virtual massage screen of the same duration according to a preset massage process mode and display it in real time on the display screen (for example, first creating a water bath massage background on the display screen, then displaying the virtual massager and the person being massaged, thereby live-streaming the massage process and allowing the user to know the massage method and progress of the preset massage process mode). The playback action of the virtual massage screen is synchronized with the massage action of the artificial muscle module (to improve comfort), wherein:
[0013] The wearable garment includes a synchronization feedback module. In each preset massage process mode, several action feature values are set for synchronization verification according to time. When the virtual massage screen plays and reaches an action feature value, the visual glasses send a massage action feedback command to the synchronization feedback module. This causes the synchronization feedback module to transmit the current massage action feedback data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses then compare the current massage action feedback data with the triggered action feature values to determine whether the virtual massage screen is synchronized with the current massage action of the artificial muscle module. If they are not synchronized, the timestamp of the current massage action feedback data is recorded and used as the adjustment standard for the virtual massage screen to automatically synchronize the playback action of the virtual massage screen with the massage action of the artificial muscle module. If they are synchronized, the system waits for the next action feature value and performs another automatic synchronization judgment.
[0014] As a further preferred technical solution of the above technical solution, the wearable clothing includes a muscle health detection sensor. The muscle health detection sensor collects the health status of human muscles (including relaxation level, blood flow rate, etc.) before and after each water bath massage and generates corresponding muscle health data (after a period of time, it can be seen whether the health status of muscles can be improved through water bath massage).
[0015] As a further preferred technical solution to the above technical solution, before the water bath massage, the visual glasses send an artificial muscle self-check command to the drive module, so that the drive module drives all the artificial muscle modules to perform actions according to the artificial muscle self-check command. Each artificial muscle module is equipped with a motion feedback unit, so that the motion feedback unit provides feedback on the self-check motion data of the matched artificial muscle module, including the motion force, motion length and motion frequency, and transmits the self-check motion data to the visual glasses. Thus, the visual glasses determine whether the artificial muscle modules of each module have malfunctioned. If a malfunction occurs, fault information is generated at the corresponding location and a fault alarm is triggered. If no malfunction occurs, massage is performed according to the selected preset massage process mode.
[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the judgment of self-test action data by the visual glasses is specifically implemented as follows:
[0017] Regarding the movement force of the artificial muscle module, the motion feedback unit monitors the self-test force data of the artificial muscle module and transmits the self-test force data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses compare the self-test force data with the standard force data to determine whether the self-test force data meets the standard force data. If it does, the force meets the standard information. If it does not meet the standard or the force is abnormal (no force or greatly exceeds the standard force data), the force fault information is output.
[0018] Regarding the movement length of the artificial muscle module, the motion feedback unit monitors the self-test length data of the artificial muscle module and transmits the self-test length data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses compare the self-test length data with the standard length data to determine whether the self-test length data meets the standard force data. If it does, the length meets the standard information. If it does not meet the standard or the length is abnormal (no elongation or greatly exceeds the standard length data), the length fault information is output.
[0019] Regarding the movement frequency of the artificial muscle module, the motion feedback unit monitors the self-test frequency data of the artificial muscle module and transmits the self-test frequency data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses compare the self-test frequency data with the standard frequency data to determine whether the self-test length data reaches the standard frequency data. If it does, the frequency compliance information is output. If it does not reach the standard or the frequency is abnormal (no frequency or greatly exceeds the standard frequency data), the frequency fault information is output. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[0022] In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art should note that voice selection and other technologies involved in the present invention can be considered as prior art.
[0023] Preferred embodiment.
[0024] This invention discloses a metaverse-based water bath massage system, comprising wearable clothing and visual glasses for human use, wherein the wearable clothing and the visual glasses are connected via data communication, wherein:
[0025] After the visual glasses and the wearable garment filled with water bath medium are put on the human body, the visual glasses are activated and a preset massage process mode is selected on the display screen (including voice selection, etc.). The visual glasses generate a corresponding matching massage instruction according to the massage process mode and transmit the massage instruction (including wireless and wired connection methods) to the wearable garment.
[0026] The wearable garment includes a drive module and artificial muscle modules distributed on various parts of the (wearable garment). After receiving a massage command, the drive module drives the artificial muscle modules to perform massage actions in the water bath medium that match the preset massage process mode, thereby performing a water bath massage on the human body.
[0027] During a water bath massage, the display shows the force feedback unit, temperature feedback unit, and damping feedback unit, among which:
[0028] The force feedback unit is used to determine whether the current massage force of the artificial muscle module meets the requirements based on (human) sensation. If it does not meet the requirements, it generates a corresponding massage force adjustment command (preferably a voice command, such as increasing / decreasing the massage force) and transmits it to the drive module so that the drive module changes the current massage force of the artificial muscle module (for example, different people have different massage force requirements, satisfying diversified massage force).
[0029] The temperature feedback unit is used to determine whether the temperature of the current water bath medium meets the requirements based on (human) sensation. If it does not meet the requirements, it generates a corresponding massage temperature adjustment command (preferably a voice command, such as increasing / decreasing the massage temperature) and transmits it to the drive module so that the drive module can change the massage temperature of the current water bath medium through the temperature regulator (for example, different people have different massage temperature requirements, satisfying diversified massage temperatures).
[0030] The damping feedback unit is used to determine whether the damping of the current water bath medium meets the requirements based on (human) sensation. If it does not meet the requirements, it generates a corresponding massage damping adjustment command (preferably a voice command, such as increasing / decreasing massage damping) and transmits it to the drive module. This allows the drive module to change the massage damping of the current water bath medium through the damping adjuster (for example, different people have different massage water bath damping needs, and the massage sensation of the artificial muscle module in water bath media with different damping is different, satisfying diversified massage damping).
[0031] Specifically, during a water bath massage, the visual glasses generate a virtual massage video of the same duration according to a preset massage process mode and display it in real time on the display screen (for example, first creating a water bath massage background on the display screen, then displaying the virtual massager and the person being massaged, thus broadcasting the massage process live, allowing the user to know the massage method and progress of the preset massage process mode). The playback of the virtual massage video is synchronized with the massage movements of the artificial muscle module (to improve comfort), wherein:
[0032] The wearable garment includes a synchronization feedback module. In each preset massage process mode, several action feature values are set for synchronization verification according to time. When the virtual massage screen plays and reaches an action feature value, the visual glasses send a massage action feedback command to the synchronization feedback module. This causes the synchronization feedback module to transmit the current massage action feedback data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses then compare the current massage action feedback data with the triggered action feature values to determine whether the virtual massage screen is synchronized with the current massage action of the artificial muscle module. If they are not synchronized, the timestamp of the current massage action feedback data is recorded and used as the adjustment standard for the virtual massage screen to automatically synchronize the playback action of the virtual massage screen with the massage action of the artificial muscle module. If they are synchronized, the system waits for the next action feature value and performs another automatic synchronization judgment.
[0033] More specifically, the wearable garment includes a muscle health detection sensor, which collects data on the health status of the human muscles (including relaxation level, blood flow rate, etc.) before and after each water bath massage and generates corresponding muscle health data (after a period of time, it can be seen whether the health status of the muscles can be improved through water bath massage).
[0034] Furthermore, before the water bath massage, the visual glasses send a self-check command for the artificial muscles to the drive module, so that the drive module drives all the artificial muscle modules to perform movements according to the artificial muscle self-check command. Each artificial muscle module is equipped with a motion feedback unit, so that the motion feedback unit provides feedback on the self-check motion data of the matched artificial muscle module, including the motion force, motion length, and motion frequency, and transmits the self-check motion data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses then determine whether the artificial muscle modules of each module have malfunctioned. If a malfunction occurs, fault information is generated at the corresponding location and a fault alarm is triggered. If no malfunction occurs, the massage is performed according to the selected preset massage process mode.
[0035] Furthermore, the specific implementation of the visual glasses' judgment of self-test action data is as follows:
[0036] Regarding the movement force of the artificial muscle module, the motion feedback unit monitors the self-test force data of the artificial muscle module and transmits the self-test force data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses compare the self-test force data with the standard force data to determine whether the self-test force data meets the standard force data. If it does, the force meets the standard information. If it does not meet the standard or the force is abnormal (no force or greatly exceeds the standard force data), the force fault information is output.
[0037] Regarding the movement length of the artificial muscle module, the motion feedback unit monitors the self-test length data of the artificial muscle module and transmits the self-test length data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses compare the self-test length data with the standard length data to determine whether the self-test length data meets the standard force data. If it does, the length meets the standard information. If it does not meet the standard or the length is abnormal (no elongation or greatly exceeds the standard length data), the length fault information is output.
[0038] Regarding the movement frequency of the artificial muscle module, the motion feedback unit monitors the self-test frequency data of the artificial muscle module and transmits the self-test frequency data to the visual glasses. The visual glasses compare the self-test frequency data with the standard frequency data to determine whether the self-test length data reaches the standard frequency data. If it does, the frequency compliance information is output. If it does not reach the standard or the frequency is abnormal (no frequency or greatly exceeds the standard frequency data), the frequency fault information is output.

The specific structure, working principle and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this patent.
