Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of smart bracelets, and in particular relates to an electric acupuncture massage bracelet with a positioning function. Background Art
[0002] In the current health technology field, electrical stimulation bracelets, as a non-invasive treatment method, have been gradually accepted by the market and widely used to relieve muscle pain, promote blood circulation and assist in the treatment of certain neurological diseases. Most of the existing electrical stimulation bracelet products use preset programs to release low-frequency microcurrents to the user's wrist or specific acupoints through the electrodes on the bracelet to simulate the effect of traditional acupuncture. However, these products have several shortcomings in practical applications: traditional electrical stimulation bracelets can only roughly cover the wrist area and cannot accurately align with specific acupoints or treatment points, which affects the treatment effect; they cannot be automatically adjusted according to individual differences of users (such as wrist size, acupoint location differences), resulting in different treatment effects for different people, and users need to manually select or adjust the stimulation mode, which is inconvenient for elderly people who are not familiar with electronic devices or users with poor eyesight; and the matching of current intensity and skin sensitivity is not fully considered, which may cause discomfort or even safety hazards. Therefore, the present invention provides an electric acupuncture massage bracelet with positioning function, which realizes accurate positioning, personalized treatment and intelligent operation, and improves treatment effect and user experience. Summary of the invention
[0003] The invention provides an electric acupuncture massage bracelet with a positioning function, which is used to solve the technical problems of inaccurate positioning, insufficient personalization, complex operation and potential safety hazards of traditional electric acupuncture massage bracelets.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an electroacupuncture massage bracelet with a positioning function, comprising a bracelet body, a control module, an electroacupuncture massage module and a positioning module. The electroacupuncture massage module is built into one side of the bracelet, comprising an electrode sheet, a battery and a driving circuit, and stimulates acupoints by releasing low-level current; the positioning module can accurately capture the three-dimensional motion trajectory and acupoint position of the wrist, and send the data to a mobile phone APP via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
[0005] Furthermore, when the bracelet body is used for the first time, the control module automatically records and learns the user's personalized acupoint distribution map through an automatic calibration process, and automatically adjusts the position of the electrode sheet during subsequent use to ensure accurate stimulation.
[0006] Furthermore, the electroacupuncture massage module evaluates the safety status during the treatment process by monitoring the user's skin reaction to the electric current. When the skin resistance changes, the electroacupuncture massage module adjusts the current intensity to avoid damage to the skin.
[0007] Furthermore, the positioning module uses sensors and intelligent algorithms to identify the precise shape and acupuncture point locations of the user's wrist.
[0008] Furthermore, the sensor adopts a gyroscope and an accelerometer, and the intelligent algorithm is an improved Kalbo filter algorithm.
[0009] Furthermore, the improved Kalpo filter undergoes an updating process, uses a state equation to calculate the state of the next time step, and uses new sensor data to update the state value.
[0010] Furthermore, the automatic calibration process is that the user wears the bracelet on the wrist and selects the "Start Calibration" option through the mobile phone APP. The bracelet will then issue a prompt sound to guide the user to perform wrist movements so that the sensor can comprehensively collect wrist shape data. After the data collection is completed, the control module automatically analyzes and processes the wrist shape data, constructs the user's personalized wrist model and acupoint distribution map, and stores it in the bracelet body for subsequent use.
[0011] Furthermore, the process of automatically adjusting the position of the electrode sheet is as follows: encoding the acupoint position signal as a positive pulse signal, when the switch is enabled, inputting a positive pulse to drive the electrode sheet to perform fine adjustment to ensure that they can accurately cover the key acupoints on the user's wrist, and outputting the position difference as a negative pulse.
[0012] Furthermore, based on the automatic calibration process, the control module can also provide personalized treatment plans, that is, intelligently generate and start corresponding treatment plans. During the treatment process, it continuously monitors the user's skin resistance changes and treatment effect feedback, and adjusts the current intensity parameters in real time to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
[0013] Furthermore, in addition to automatically adjusting the current intensity, the control module is also equipped with an emergency stop function. Once the user feels uncomfortable during treatment or needs to stop the treatment immediately, just long press the "Start / Stop" button to trigger the function.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) The positioning module of the present invention uses sensors and intelligent algorithms to identify the precise shape of the user's wrist and the location of the acupoints, ensuring that each treatment can accurately stimulate the target acupoints and improve the treatment effect.
[0016] (2) The present invention provides customized treatment plans based on individual differences of users. During the treatment process, it continuously monitors the user's skin resistance changes and treatment effect feedback, and adjusts the current intensity parameters in real time to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment, thereby meeting the needs of different users and improving user satisfaction.
[0017] (3) When the present invention is used for the first time, it automatically records and learns the user's personalized acupoint distribution map through an automatic calibration process, and automatically adjusts the position of the electrode sheet during subsequent use to ensure accurate stimulation.

[0076] When the position adjustment accuracy is the maximum accuracy, the electrode sheet is adjusted using the rotation angle and the moving direction corresponding to the position adjustment accuracy to complete the process of adjusting the position of the electrode sheet.
[0077] The standard acupoint distribution refers to the correct version of the acupoint distribution corresponding to the current angle and position of the electrode sheet.
[0078] Based on the automatic calibration process, the control module can also provide personalized treatment plans, that is, intelligently generate and start corresponding treatment plans. During the treatment process, it continuously monitors the user's skin resistance changes and treatment effect feedback, and adjusts the current intensity parameters in real time to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
[0079] In addition to automatically adjusting the current intensity, the control module is also equipped with an emergency stop function. Once the user feels uncomfortable during treatment or needs to stop treatment immediately, just long press the "Start / Stop" button to trigger the function.
[0080] Electroacupuncture massage module: Assess safety during treatment by monitoring the user's skin response to electric current. When skin resistance changes, the electroacupuncture massage module adjusts the current intensity to avoid damage to the skin.
[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electric acupuncture massage module adjusts the current intensity, including: obtaining the current skin resistance and the current current intensity corresponding to the current skin resistance; constructing the planned current intensity of the current current intensity in a preset future time period, and analyzing the planned skin resistance of the current skin resistance in the preset future time period according to the planned current intensity using the following formula:

[0090] The planned current intensity refers to a current intensity that is set to be different from the current current intensity.
[0091] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the process of automatically adjusting the position of the electrode sheet is as follows: the acupoint position signal is encoded and used as a positive pulse signal through I / OP1.2. When the switch is enabled, a positive pulse is input to drive the electrode sheet to make fine adjustments to ensure that they can accurately cover the key acupoints on the user's wrist. The position difference is output as a negative pulse.
[0092] The operation process of the electric acupuncture massage bracelet of the present invention is as follows:
[0093] (1) Preparation stage:
[0094] Make sure the electroacupuncture massage bracelet is worn correctly on your wrist.
[0095] Make sure the user's health data (such as age, gender, height, weight, pain location and degree, etc.) has been entered and saved in the bracelet through the bracelet's accompanying APP or previous usage records.
[0096] Users can select a preset treatment plan template or allow the bracelet to automatically select the best plan based on historical data and current status.
[0097] (2) Initiation of treatment:
[0098] The user checks the wristband body and confirms that the interface is simple, with only the "Start / Stop" button and status indicator light displayed.
[0099] Press the "Start / Stop" button on the bracelet, and the bracelet will respond immediately and start the treatment program.
[0100] (3) Automatic detection and adjustment of control module:
[0101] The built-in sensors in the bracelet start working to detect the user's wrist shape and acupoint location.
[0102] Based on the test results, the bracelet automatically adjusts the position of the electrodes to ensure accurate coverage of key acupoints.
[0103] At the same time, the bracelet intelligently generates and sets the initial treatment parameters (such as stimulation intensity, frequency, waveform, etc.) based on the user's health data or the selected treatment plan template.
[0104] (4) Electroacupuncture and massage treatment process:
[0105] The treatment procedure officially begins and the bracelet starts to output electrical stimulation signals.
[0106] During the treatment, the bracelet continuously monitors changes in the user's skin resistance, which is an important indicator of treatment effectiveness and user comfort.
[0107] Based on the monitoring results, parameters such as current intensity are adjusted in real time to ensure that the treatment process is both safe and effective.
[0108] The status indicator light will display the current treatment status, such as normal treatment, adjustment parameters, etc.
[0109] (5) Feedback and Adjustment:
[0110] If the user feels uncomfortable during treatment or needs to adjust treatment parameters, although the bracelet is designed for one-touch operation, it is generally not recommended to modify the settings directly during treatment to avoid affecting the treatment effect. The user can make fine adjustments through the APP or bracelet settings after the treatment.
[0111] (6) Stopping treatment:
[0112] When the user needs to stop the treatment, just press the "Start / Stop" button on the bracelet again. The bracelet immediately stops outputting electrical stimulation signals and returns to standby mode.
[0113] The present invention can not only achieve precise positioning, personalized treatment and intelligent operation, thereby improving the treatment effect and user experience; it can also ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment process to protect the health and safety of the user.
[0114] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essence of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily.
