[0059] In the prior art, the composition and working principle of the stimulation electrode are all existing technologies, so its detailed structure and principle will not be described in detail in this article. For example, a dual-purpose electrode and a device for surface electromyography extraction and transdermal electrostimulation using the dual-purpose electrode disclosed in CN104027111B can be used. The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Depend on Figures 1 to 13 The present invention provides a method for controlling a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, comprising:

[0061] Obtain raw data of acupoints;

[0062] Obtain wearing instructions, and obtain calibration stimulus information based on the wearing instructions;

[0063] The calibration stimulation information is sent to the stimulation electrode to obtain acupoint feedback data;

[0064] The original acupoint data is compared with the acupoint feedback data. If the deviation between the acupoint feedback data and the original acupoint data is greater than a standard threshold, the control unit performs an early warning operation.

[0065] In these implementations, acupoint information is collected and recorded during the initial wear, generating specific human body data. The positioning is adjusted in a timely manner during subsequent use, greatly reducing the barrier to entry. Users do not need to master complex acupoint knowledge to easily complete acupoint positioning, effectively improving the calibration effect between the electrode pad and the acupoint, making it more convenient to use.

[0066] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control method, the acquisition of raw acupoint data includes:

[0067] The human body wears the health care garment with stimulation electrodes for the first time, and adjusts the fit of the stimulation electrodes multiple times;

[0068] Each time the position adjustment of the stimulation electrode is completed, the stimulation electrode outputs a reference electrical stimulation pulse and collects the reference electromyographic feedback signal of the corresponding acupoint range to obtain a single set of electromyographic feedback samples.

[0069] Repeat the steps of position adjustment, pulse stimulation and electromyography acquisition to obtain multiple sets of electromyography feedback samples;

[0070] The multiple sets of electromyographic feedback samples were summarized and screened, and the electromyographic feedback samples with the best acupoint response characteristics and the corresponding stimulation electrode position parameters were calibrated as the original acupoint data.

[0071] In these implementations, the user wears a health garment equipped with electrode pads and manually adjusts the physical position of the electrode pads relative to acupoints multiple times. Each time a position adjustment is completed, the pulse stimulation unit of the stimulation electrode outputs a baseline electrical stimulation pulse with preset parameters to stimulate the acupoint area. Simultaneously, the electromyography (EMG) acquisition unit of the stimulation electrode acquires and stores the baseline EMG feedback signal for the corresponding acupoint. After multiple rounds of position adjustment, pulse stimulation, and signal acquisition, multiple sets of acupoint EMG feedback samples are obtained. These samples are then summarized and screened, and the sample data with the best acupoint response characteristics and the corresponding electrode position parameters are extracted and labeled as the original acupoint data, serving as a benchmark for subsequent deviation comparisons.

[0072] In this process, after each position adjustment, the stimulating electrode sends a constant parameter calibration pulse stimulation, and the electromyography (EMG) acquisition unit simultaneously acquires the EMG feedback signal of the acupoint area at that stimulating electrode position, storing the EMG characteristic data corresponding to each adjustment. Multiple sets of EMG feedback samples are summarized and analyzed, and the sample data with the best EMG signal characteristics (such as the largest amplitude, highest signal-to-noise ratio, and most significant acupoint response) are selected. This best sample and its corresponding electrode position parameters are jointly calibrated as the original acupoint data, serving as the benchmark for subsequent comparisons.

[0073] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control method, the repeated adjustment of the contact position of the stimulation electrode includes:

[0074] The wearing position of the health care garment should be calibrated according to the joint and body surface markings on the garment;

[0075] The fit of the Shunping health care garment is used to calibrate the placement of the stimulation electrodes.

[0076] In these embodiments, the calibrated orientation is adjusted by positioning marks on the health care garment (see below for details), thereby ensuring the reliability of wearing. The adjustments can be made in whole or in part as fine-tuning to calibrate the position of the stimulation electrodes.

[0077] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control method, the step of sending the calibration stimulation information to the stimulation electrode to obtain acupoint feedback data includes:

[0078] The calibration electrical stimulation pulse information is obtained based on the calibration stimulation information;

[0079] The calibration electrical stimulation pulse information will be sent to the stimulation electrode.

[0080] The stimulation electrode outputs a calibration electrical stimulation pulse and collects calibration electromyographic feedback signals from the corresponding acupoint range.

[0081] Acupoint feedback data is obtained based on the calibrated electromyographic feedback signal.

[0082] The step of comparing the original acupoint data with the acupoint feedback data includes:

[0083] The acupoint feedback data is preprocessed and matched with the original acupoint data.

[0084] The deviation value is obtained based on the acupoint feedback data and the original acupoint data;

[0085] The deviation value is compared with the standard threshold.

[0086] In these implementations, pre-calibrated and stored acupoint raw data and real-time acquired acupoint feedback data are retrieved simultaneously. The acupoint feedback data consists of the current acupoint electromyographic feedback signal and current electrode position parameters acquired in real-time by the electromyography (EMG) acquisition unit after the stimulation electrodes receive calibration stimulation information. The acupoint feedback data is then subjected to noise filtering and outlier removal to eliminate motion artifacts, poor electrode contact, and invalid data caused by power frequency interference. Subsequently, the pre-processed acupoint feedback data and the original acupoint data are registered and aligned one-to-one according to EMG signal channels, electrode position coordinates, and stimulation sequence to ensure consistent comparison dimensions and data synchronization, providing an accurate basis for subsequent deviation calculations.

[0087] The aligned acupoint raw data and acupoint feedback data are subjected to quantified deviation calculations in different dimensions. For example, for the electromyography (EMG) signal dimension, the EMG feature parameters (including but not limited to EMG signal amplitude, effective value, and signal-to-noise ratio) are extracted from both, and the EMG feature deviation is calculated using the absolute difference method or the relative deviation rate method. For the electrode position dimension, the electrode position coordinate parameters are extracted from both, and the coordinate offset deviation is calculated using the Euclidean distance algorithm. The control unit summarizes the deviation calculation results of each dimension to obtain a comprehensive quantified deviation value.

[0088] During the comparison, a preset standard threshold is retrieved. The standard threshold can be a static preset threshold (based on acupoint type and electrical stimulation parameters, including electromyographic characteristic deviation threshold and electrode position offset threshold), or a dynamic threshold adaptively generated based on user body shape, skin condition, and wearing tightness. Then, the comprehensive quantitative deviation value is compared with the standard threshold. When it is determined to be a valid deviation, the warning unit is immediately driven to perform a warning operation. The warning operation can be performed individually or in combination. One is a local warning, in which the control unit drives at least one of the vibration module, LED indicator, and buzzer on the device to start, reminding the user in real time that the current acupoint alignment deviation exceeds the standard through vibration prompts, light flashing, and buzzer alarms. The other is a remote warning, in which the control unit uploads the deviation information (including deviation value, deviation time, current electromyographic data, and electrode position parameters) to the host computer or terminal APP through the wireless communication module, generates an abnormal warning prompt, and records the warning log for subsequent traceability and debugging. Furthermore, the control unit can simultaneously execute closed-loop processing. If the deviation is slight (greater than the standard threshold but not exceeding the severe deviation threshold), it automatically fine-tunes the calibration stimulation parameters and controls the stimulation electrodes to re-output calibration stimulation, collecting new acupoint feedback data for comparison and calibration again. If the deviation is severe (greater than the severe deviation threshold), it immediately controls the stimulation electrodes to pause stimulation output and issues a prompt message to guide the user to readjust the electrode positions and check the electrode contact status, ensuring safe and accurate operation of the device. If the deviation is less than or equal to the standard threshold, the current acupoint stimulation calibration is deemed qualified, and the control unit controls the device to maintain normal electrical stimulation operation, continuously monitoring acupoint feedback data in real time. The quantified deviation value refers to the numerical difference between the original acupoint data and the acupoint feedback data in core dimensions such as electromyographic signal characteristics and electrode position coordinates, calculated using a standardized algorithm to a specific value that can be directly used for threshold comparison. Registration and alignment refers to matching the original acupoint data with the acupoint feedback data in terms of time, space, and signal channel dimensions, ensuring that they correspond to the same acupoint and under the same stimulation conditions, avoiding comparison bias.

[0089] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control method, the method further includes:

[0090] Obtain acupoint setting data;

[0091] Obtain stimulation instructions and obtain stimulation information based on the stimulation instructions;

[0092] The stimulation information is sent to the stimulation electrode to obtain real-time data of the acupoint.

[0093] The deviation value is obtained by comparing the real-time data of the acupoints with the set data of the acupoints.

[0094] The stimulation information is adjusted in real time based on the deviation value and the standard threshold.

[0095] The acquisition of acupoint setting data includes:

[0096] Multiple preset pulse stimulation modes;

[0097] The corresponding acupoint setting data is obtained based on the stimulation mode.

[0098] The real-time adjustment of the applied stimulus information based on the deviation value and the standard threshold includes:

[0099] If the deviation is greater than the standard threshold, the stimulation information is weakened and adjusted.

[0100] If the deviation is less than the standard threshold, the stimulus information is reinforced and adjusted.

[0101] The parameters that can be adjusted include the intensity, frequency, pulse width, and waveform of the electrical stimulation.

[0102] In these implementations, different stimulation protocols are selected through a variety of preset modes. The stimulation electrodes perform pulse stimulation according to the preset protocols, acquiring real-time data of the acupoints during the stimulation process. This real-time data is then compared with preset acupoint data, and the stimulation intensity is adjusted based on the comparison results to achieve real-time control of the stimulation effect. Furthermore, the deviation level can be determined based on the deviation, allowing for adjustments to different modes accordingly.

[0103] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control method, the method further includes:

[0104] Obtain acupoint calibration data;

[0105] Obtain a mandatory instruction, and obtain mandatory stimulus information based on the mandatory instruction;

[0106] The forced stimulation information is sent to the stimulation electrode to obtain acupoint intensity data;

[0107] The physiological intensity is determined based on the deviation between the acupoint intensity data and the acupoint calibration data.

[0108] In these implementations, a forced mode is selected, and acupoint calibration data is acquired in the forced mode to control the operation of the stimulation electrode. The physiological intensity of the acupoint is determined by comparing the acupoint intensity data fed back by the acupoint with the acupoint calibration data, thereby achieving the effect of autonomous diagnosis and treatment.

[0109] Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control system, the system including at least one processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, implement the steps of the method described above.

[0110] Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment control system. The system further includes a calibration unit, a selection and control unit, and a selection unit. The calibration unit is used to perform calibration and early warning operations by comparing and issuing early warnings with the original acupoint data. The selection and control unit is used to select the stimulation mode by selecting different acupoints and setting data for pulse stimulation. The selection unit is used to force electrode stimulation by performing pulse stimulation based on the acupoint calibration data to determine the physiological intensity.

[0111] Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, the garment including a stimulation unit disposed on a controller, the stimulation unit including a pulse module and a data acquisition module, such as... Figure 3-8 As shown, the health care garment includes a garment body 2 with several built-in stimulation electrodes 1. The stimulation electrodes 1 are exposed on the inner surface of the garment body 2 and are closely attached to the surface of the human body. The garment body 2 is evenly worn on the human body. Joint markers 3 are arranged around the joints of the human body. The joint markers 3 are used to position the stimulation electrodes 1 in the acupoint area of ​​the human body. Body surface markers 4 are arranged around the sides of the human body. The body surface markers 4 are used to evenly cover and position the garment body 2 on the surface of the human body and to position the stimulation electrodes 1 in the acupoint area of ​​the human body.

[0112] In these embodiments, a plurality of stimulation electrodes 1 are disposed on the clothing body 2 at positions corresponding to acupoints. By evenly wearing the clothing body 2, the stimulation electrodes 1 correspond to acupoints on the human body. The stimulation electrodes 1 embedded in the clothing body 2 correspond to the acupoint range on the human body. Figure 2 The images provided are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent specific acupoints. When the garment body 2 is worn, the coordinated action of the joint markers 3 and the body surface markers 4 ensures that the garment body 2 fits smoothly against the user, effectively positioning the stimulation electrodes 1 within the acupoint area. This guarantees effective calibration between the stimulation electrodes 1 and the acupoint area, resulting in fast calibration, noticeable effects, and easier wear and use, while also reducing the difficulty of use. It should be understood that the number and location of the stimulation electrodes 1 can be flexibly customized according to usage requirements. Figure 2 The stimulation electrode 1 shown is only an example. The specific number and location of stimulation electrodes 1 are not limited in this article. For example, it can be stimulation electrodes 1 for two acupoints, stimulation electrodes 1 for four acupoints, etc.

[0113] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, a midpoint element 5 is formed at the midline of the joint marker 3. The midpoint element 5 is used to align the joint marker 3 with the corresponding human joint.

[0114] In these embodiments, the joint marker 3 can be reliably aligned with the human joint by the cooperation of the midpoint marker 5 and the joint marker 3, further improving the reliability of the joint marker 3 calibration.

[0115] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, the joint identification component 3 includes an elbow joint strap 6, a wrist joint strap 7, a hip joint strap 8, a knee joint strap 9, and an ankle joint strap 10, which are respectively positioned at the elbow joint, wrist joint, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint.

[0116] In these embodiments, the elbow strap 6, wrist strap 7, hip strap 8, knee strap 9, and ankle strap 10 can be integrally formed with the garment body 2, or they can be detachable identification straps glued or attached to the garment body 2. For example, the positioning position can be confirmed by color or shape markings. The detachable identification straps can be removed when the stimulation electrode 1 is not in use, allowing the garment body 2 to be worn as everyday clothing, making it more flexible. The joint marking elements 3 cover common elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle joints. By using these band-like marking elements that encircle the body surface, the garment body 2 can be calibrated from multiple angles, resulting in better calibration. Of course, for simplicity and aesthetics, the joint marking elements 3 can also be a combination of some of these elements, and can be flexibly customized according to usage requirements; no specific limitations are made in this document.

[0117] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, the midpoint component 5 includes at least one extension head 11, which is formed on the side of the elbow joint band 6, wrist joint band 7, hip joint band 8, knee joint band 9, and ankle joint band 10. The extension head 11 is correspondingly disposed at the elbow joint, wrist joint, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint.

[0118] In these embodiments, the number of extension heads 11 can be flexibly selected according to different joints, as long as it can effectively mark the midline position. For example, extension heads 11 can be formed on both sides of the elbow band 6 to better mark the wearing effect of the garment body 2, which is conducive to improving the reliability of calibration.

[0119] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, the body surface identification component 4 includes an upper body side band 12 and a lower body side band 13. The upper body side band 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper body surface, and the lower body side band 13 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower body surface.

[0120] In these embodiments, the upper body side straps 12 are located on both sides of the upper body, and the lower body side straps 13 are located on the opposite sides of the legs. Together with the joint markers 3, they are used to calibrate the wearing of the garment body 2. The operation is simple and convenient, the calibration speed is fast, and the effect is obvious. The upper body side straps 12 and lower body side straps 13 can be integrally formed with the garment body 2, or they can be detachable markers glued or attached to the garment body 2. For example, the positioning position can be confirmed by color or shape markings. The detachable markers can be removed when the stimulation electrodes 1 are not in use, allowing the garment body 2 to be worn as everyday clothing, making its use more flexible.

[0121] It should be understood that there are various styles of displaying the calibration effect for joint marker 3 and body surface marker 4. For example, joint marker 3 can be accurately positioned, body surface marker 4 can be smoothly fitted, and there are also fixed-point calibration methods. The way of displaying the calibration effect can be flexibly selected according to the user's wearing needs, and no specific limitation is made in this article.

[0122] In one embodiment of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, a groove 14 is formed on the inner surface of the garment body 2, and the stimulation electrode 1 is fixedly installed in the groove 14. A flexible circuit 15 is provided inside the garment body 2, and the flexible circuit 15 connects to each stimulation electrode 1. The garment body 2 is modeled and designed using a human body 3D scanner.

[0123] In these embodiments, the garment body 2 is designed for individual customization. The garment body 2 is manufactured by creating a 3D human body model using a 3D scanner, followed by 3D printing and garment production techniques. The garment body 2 can be a single piece, meaning the main structure is generated using 3D printing, and then individual components are assembled onto this main structure. During the single-piece molding process, the flexible circuit 15 is embedded in the main structure, and the stimulation electrodes 1 are embedded in the grooves 14. The material of the garment body 2 can be similar to existing health care clothing, yoga clothing, or other elastic and form-fitting garments. Since the materials and manufacturing processes are similar to existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.

[0124] To enhance customization flexibility, in one embodiment of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health garment, the garment body 2 comprises a surface layer 16 and an embedded layer 17. The surface layer 16 is made of a flexible material, and the embedded layer 17 is made of an elastic material. The embedded layer 17 has grooves 14 formed therein, and stimulation electrodes 1 are fixedly installed within the grooves 14. A flexible circuit 15 is disposed between the surface layer 16 and the embedded layer 17, connecting each stimulation electrode 1. The garment body 2 is designed using a 3D human body scanner.

[0125] In these embodiments, the garment body 2 is designed for individual use. The garment body 2 is manufactured by modeling the user's human body using a 3D human scanner, and then produced using 3D printing and garment manufacturing technologies. The garment body 2 is made by combining a surface layer 16 and an embedded layer 17. The flexible circuit 15 and the stimulation electrode 1 are placed in the embedded layer 17 and then combined with the surface layer 16 to form the garment body 2. The material of the garment body 2 can refer to existing health care clothing, yoga clothing, and other elastic and form-fitting garments. It can be a naturally tight-fitting design similar to yoga clothing, or it can be attached to the human body surface through straps, drawstrings, etc. No specific limitations are made here. For example, the garment body 2 can adopt the manufacturing process in existing technology (CN214415429U). Since the material and manufacturing process of the garment body 2 are both existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.

[0126] It should be understood that, in this article, the stimulation electrode 1 can be an electrode sheet, and the flexible circuit 15 can be formed of elastic conductive silver fiber, etc., without specific limitations. For example, the manufacturing process in the prior art (CN214415429U) can be used. Since the materials and manufacturing processes of the stimulation electrode 1 and the flexible circuit 15 are the same as those in the prior art, they will not be described in detail in this article.

[0127] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, the garment body 2 includes an upper garment 18 and a lower garment 19. A first controller 20 is fixedly installed on the upper garment 18 and is connected to the stimulation electrode 1 through a flexible circuit 15. A second controller 21 is fixedly installed on the lower garment 19 and is connected to the stimulation electrode 1 through a flexible circuit 15.

[0128] In these embodiments, the stimulation electrodes 1 of the upper garment 18 and the lower garment 19 are controlled by the first controller 20 and the second controller 21 respectively, making the operation more convenient and flexible and providing users with more choices.

[0129] In some embodiments of a holographic scanning meridian acupoint health care garment, the outer surface of the garment body 2 is detachably equipped with acupoint meridian markers 22, and the acupoint meridian markers 22 have protrusions 23 forming at the corresponding acupoint ranges of the human body.

[0130] In these embodiments, the acupoint vein marker 22 is detachably installed (by fastening, bonding, etc.) corresponding to the joint marker 3 and the body surface marker 4, forming new joint marker 3 and body surface marker 4. A protrusion 23 is formed on the acupoint vein marker 22 corresponding to the stimulation electrode 1. The protrusion 23 can not only show the position of the stimulation electrode 1, which is beneficial to improving the calibration effect, but also show the position of the human acupoint. Through the cooperation of the acupoint vein marker 22 and the stimulation electrode 1, it is easier for users to learn and use it independently.

[0131] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 9-13 As shown, it also includes a correction electrode, which is installed near the stimulation electrode 1 and in close contact with the human body surface. The first controller 20 and the second controller 21 are electrically connected to the stimulation electrode 1 and the correction electrode, respectively.

[0132] Both the first controller 20 and the second controller 21 are equipped with an interaction unit, a control unit, a power supply, a pulse generation unit, and a protection unit. The pulse generation unit is connected to the stimulation electrode, the control unit, and the power supply. The interaction unit is connected to the control unit. The protection unit is located between the pulse generation unit and the stimulation electrode and is connected to the control unit. Several stimulation electrodes 1 and / or correction electrodes are arranged in a strip-like manner in the embedding layer 17 via an mounting strip. The mounting strip includes a head, a tail, and a middle section. A positioning indicator component is fixedly connected to the head, tail, and middle section. The positioning indicator component is connected to the control unit. The stimulation electrode 1 is a conductive electrode that is in contact with the human body surface.

[0133] In these embodiments, the positioning indicator component can be one or more combinations of a buzzer, LED light, vibrator, etc. When the health care garment shifts during wear, causing inaccurate acupoint positioning, the positioning indicator component activates to indicate the deviation in the positioning of the corresponding position. It is mainly installed at key locations, such as the head, middle, and tail of the garment, where the spatial plane of the human body can generally be determined by three points, or at acupoints with relatively regular arrangements, such as Tian Tu, Hua Gai, Tan Zhong, Jiu Wei, Liang Men, Xia Wan, and Shen Que. Several stimulating electrodes and / or corrective electrodes are arranged in a strip-like pattern to form a bundle. Redundant wires are left between electrodes on the same electrode strip to facilitate adaptation to health care garments of different sizes and wearing conditions. The stimulating electrodes and / or corrective electrodes on the same bundle form stimulating electrode and / or corrective electrode strips. With the program of the control unit, individual debugging is no longer required to determine the stimulation site of each electrode. It is ready to use after installation, simplifying the installation process of connecting and fixing the electrodes to the health care garment body while facilitating user operation. The electrodes are primarily installed on the arms, legs, and relatively central positions of the torso, such as the regularly arranged acupoints like Tian Tu, Hua Gai, Tan Zhong, Jiu Wei, Liang Men, Xia Wan, and Shen Que, for targeted stimulation. To prevent harm from excessive current, the electrical stimulation garment is equipped with protective units, such as overcurrent protectors and leakage protectors. These components can quickly cut off the power supply when an abnormality is detected, ensuring the user's safety.

[0134] The working process of the health care garment is as follows: The interactive unit sends a stimulation command, the control unit receives the stimulation command and sends it to the pulse generation unit. The pulse generation unit generates a corresponding current pulse and delivers it to several stimulation electrodes. The pulse generated by the pulse generation unit is checked by the protection unit to see if it exceeds the safety value. If it does, the protection unit blocks or reduces the current pulse, and simultaneously sends a signal indicating that the current exceeds the safety value back to the control unit. Upon receiving the signal indicating that the current exceeds the safety value, the control unit controls the power supply to cut off the power or controls the pulse generation unit to reduce the intensity of the current pulse.

[0135] The stimulating electrode and the corrective electrode are installed adjacent to each other, such as stimulating electrode 1 and corrective electrode 1, with a certain gap between them. After receiving a current pulse, the stimulating electrode applies the current pulse stimulation to acupoints and muscles. When the electrophysiological stimulating electrode acts on the muscle, it causes the muscle fibers to generate action potentials, which can directly induce muscle contraction. The corrective electrode reads the action potentials and feeds them back to the control unit. If the installation positions of the stimulating electrode and the corrective electrode are misaligned, or the action potentials are weak or abnormal, the control unit transmits a correction signal to the interactive unit, prompting the user to adjust the electrode installation positions or the stimulation intensity of the stimulating electrode. On the other hand, this avoids inappropriate electrical stimulation intensity at the human body, which could cause adverse reactions and thus protects the human body.

[0136] Modified electrodes, using surface electrodes, are placed directly on the skin surface to detect muscle electrical activity. They can capture weak electromyographic signals, amplify and filter them to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. This method is non-invasive, simple, and easy to operate. It directly monitors the body's physiological responses or the effects of electrical stimulation and feeds this information back to the control unit. Modified electrodes can use fabric electrodes to adjust the output parameters of the pulse generator in real time, ensuring safety and effectiveness while adapting to different individuals and massage / treatment needs.

[0137] The power source provides electricity to ensure the health care garment functions properly. The power source can be a battery and battery compartment, using a lithium battery, or an AC adapter, etc.

[0138] The control unit receives massage commands and adjusts parameters such as current intensity, frequency, and waveform to suit different massage needs and therapeutic purposes. For example, the thigh and forearm require different massage intensities; the thigh requires higher intensity, while the forearm requires lower intensity. The control unit adjusts the corresponding stimulation intensity by controlling the electrodes in the corresponding areas to meet the massage stimulation requirements of different parts of the body. The control unit includes intelligent control components such as microprocessors or single-chip microcomputers to achieve precise electrical stimulation control, such as 51 series, AVR series, PIC series, MSP430 series, and STM32 series single-chip microcomputers.

[0139] The stimulation electrodes, which directly transmit current to the human body, are the key part of the electrical stimulation garment that comes into contact with the body. The output electrodes are usually made of materials with good conductivity, such as metal or conductive rubber, to ensure that the current can be applied to the human body evenly and safely.

[0140] The stimulation electrodes can be square, round, or rectangular. Here are some specific model examples: Square electrode, model: SQ-300, size 5cm x 5cm, suitable for treating large muscle groups, such as the lower back and thighs. It provides uniform current distribution and reduces local irritation.

[0141] The circular electrode, model RD-200, is 2cm in diameter and features a compact design for precise stimulation of specific acupoints or small muscle groups. Its rounded edges reduce pressure on the skin, enhancing comfort.

[0142] The rectangular electrode, model LG-400, measures 10cm x 5cm and is suitable for treatment areas requiring long strip coverage, such as the back and legs. It provides uniform current distribution and is suitable for treating large but long muscle groups.

[0143] The pulse generator produces pulsed currents of specific frequency and waveform, which is the core component of the electrical stimulation garment that enables its effects. The pulse generator can generate different modes of pulsed current according to a preset program or user commands to simulate various massage techniques and effects.

[0144] The interactive unit can be one or more combinations of electronic screen, voice module, and buttons. Users can specify parameters such as massage start, stop, intensity, and massage time through the interactive unit. At the same time, the interactive unit can connect to the control unit via wireless network, send data from the control unit to the interactive unit, and display it on the interactive unit to reflect human body data. This facilitates user operation and improves the user experience.

[0145] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. The above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
