The scene mode button 136 is a button for setting the massage mode to the scene mode. The delivery mode button 137 is a button for setting the massage mode to the delivery mode.

[0085] [5.3] Scene selection screen and request selection screen When the scene mode button 136 is tapped on the application home screen 130, the situation acquisition unit 92A of the mobile terminal 3 displays, for example, a scene selection screen (situation selection screen) 140 as shown in Fig. 8B on the operation display unit 103. The scene selection screen 140 includes a title area E1, a choice display area E2, and a button area E3.

[0086] The title area E1 is a horizontally long rectangular area at the top of the scene selection screen 140. In the title area E1, the character string "Scene" indicating the scene mode is displayed.

[0087] Button area E3 is a horizontally long rectangular area at the bottom edge of scene selection screen 140. A home button 135, a scene mode button 136, and a distribution mode button 137 are displayed in button area E3.

[0088] The option display area E2 is a vertically long rectangular area between the title area E1 and the button area E3. A plurality of situation selection buttons 141-143 are displayed in the option display area E2 to allow the user to select a "user situation." The plurality of situation selection buttons 141-143 display situation candidates assigned to the corresponding situation selection button out of a plurality of situation candidates related to the user situation that are set in advance.

[0089] In this embodiment, a character string representing the first situation candidate "when waking up in the morning" and a mark representing the "sun" are displayed on situation selection button 141. A character string representing the second situation candidate "after work" and a mark representing the "star" are displayed on situation selection button 142. A character string representing the third situation candidate "before going to bed" and a mark representing the "moon" are displayed on situation selection button 143.

[0090] On the scene selection screen 140, the user taps one of the situation selection buttons 141, 142, or 143 corresponding to the situation candidate that is most suitable for the user's current situation. When the user taps one of the situation selection buttons, the situation acquisition unit 92A of the mobile terminal 3 acquires the situation candidate corresponding to the tapped situation selection button as the "user's situation." In addition, the request acquisition unit 92B of the mobile terminal 3 displays a request selection screen 150 corresponding to the tapped situation selection button on the operation display unit 103, as shown in FIG. 9A.

[0091] Specifically, when the user taps one situation selection button on the scene selection screen 140, a plurality of request selection buttons 151-153 corresponding to the tapped situation selection button are displayed below the tapped situation selection button. When one or more other situation selection buttons exist below the tapped situation selection button on the scene selection screen 140, the other situation selection buttons are displayed below the plurality of request selection buttons 151-153. In this manner, the screen transitions from the scene selection screen 140 to the request selection screen 150. Note that the one or more request selection buttons 151-153 corresponding to the tapped situation selection button may be displayed in a general pull-down menu format or in a pop-up menu format.

[0092] The plurality of desire selection buttons 151 to 153 display desire candidates assigned to the respective desire selection buttons from among a plurality of desire candidates related to "user desires" that are preset for the situation candidate selected by the user.

[0093] FIG. 9A shows an example of a request selection screen 150 that is displayed on the operation display unit 103 when the situation selection button 141 is tapped on the scene selection screen 140.

[0094] In the example of FIG. 9A, three desire selection buttons 151 to 153 corresponding to three desire candidates preset for the first situation candidate (situation selection button 141) are displayed on desire selection screen 150. Desire selection button 151 displays a desire candidate "I want to feel refreshed and active." Desire selection button 152 displays a desire candidate "I want to stretch when I wake up." Desire selection button 153 displays a desire candidate "I want to take care of swelling when I wake up."

[0095] The user taps one of the desire selection buttons 151, 152, or 153 corresponding to the desire candidate that is most suitable for the user's current desire on the desire selection screen 150. When the user taps one of the desire selection buttons, the desire acquisition unit 92B of the mobile terminal 3 acquires the desire candidate corresponding to the tapped desire selection button as the "user's desire."

[0096] Then, the course determination unit 93 of the mobile terminal 3 uses the course selection table 91A to determine a massage course suitable for a combination of the "user's situation" acquired by the situation acquisition unit 92A and the "user's request" acquired by the request acquisition unit 92B. The contents of the course selection table 91A will be described later.

[0097] Then, the course determination unit 93 displays an analysis result screen 160 as shown in Fig. 9B. The analysis result screen 160 displays the request candidate selected by the user, the name of the massage course determined by the course determination unit 93, the massage time, the contents of the massage, and a message to the user, as well as a massage start button 161.

[0098] In the example of FIG. 9B, the candidate desire selected by the user is "I want to feel refreshed and active." The name of the massage course determined by the course determination unit 93 is "Full-body refresh course." The massage time is 15 minutes. The massage content is "A rhythmic full-body massage." The message to the user is "Enjoy a rhythmic massage that helps wake you up."

[0099] The names and contents of massage courses that can be determined by the course determination unit 93 are stored in the course selection table 91A. The times (massage times) of massage courses that can be determined by the course determination unit 93 are stored in a course table (a table in which the ID, name, contents, etc. of each massage course are stored) not shown. The massage times may also be stored in the course selection table 91A. The messages to the user are messages provided to the user according to the combination of the "user's situation" and "user's request" acquired by the situation / request acquisition unit 92, and are stored in the course selection table 91A.

[0100] When the user taps the massage start button 161, the course sending unit 94 of the mobile terminal 3 sends the ID of the massage course displayed on the analysis result screen 160 to the massage machine 2. The ID of the massage course determined by the course determining unit 93 is stored in the course selection table 91A. When the massage machine 2 receives the ID of the massage course from the mobile terminal 3, it executes the massage course corresponding to the received ID.

[0101] [5.4] Course Selection Table 91A The course selection table 91A is a table used for determining a massage course suitable for a combination of the "user's situation" selected by the situation acquiring unit 92A and the "user's request" selected by the request acquiring unit 92B.

[0102] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the contents of the course selection table 91A.

[0103] In the following, a "scene ID" refers to identification information for identifying a combination of a "user's situation" and a "user's request."

[0104] In course selection table 91A, for each scene ID, "situation candidates," "request candidates," "message to user," "course ID," "course name," and "course content" are stored. For ease of explanation, scene IDs are represented as A1 to A9. Course IDs are IDs for identifying massage courses. For ease of explanation, course IDs are represented as B1 to BN (N is an integer corresponding to the number of types of massage courses).

[0105] 9, three types of "situation candidates" are preset: "when waking up in the morning," "after work," and "before going to bed." Three "request candidates" are preset for each situation candidate.

[0106] For the combination of "when I wake up in the morning" and "I want to feel refreshed and active" (scene ID=A1), a "whole body refresh course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "whole body refresh course" that rhythmically massages the whole body to help wake you up is determined as the massage course.

[0107] In the whole body refresh course, mechanical massage using the treatment element 51 and air massage using airbags are performed. Specifically, the massage unit 23 is controlled to move back and forth from, for example, the neck and shoulder area to the ischial area based on the output of the lift position sensor 48, and mechanical massage is performed in the entire movable area of ​​the massage unit 23. For example, the massage operation alternates between kneading and tapping at predetermined intervals. Compared to the whole body fatigue recovery course described later, the kneading and tapping speeds are increased to perform a rhythmic massage. In addition, the upper arm airbag 31, the thigh airbag 32, the forearm airbag 33, the calf airbag 34, and the sole airbag 35 are repeatedly inflated and deflated by supplying and exhausting air at regular intervals. Compared to the whole body fatigue recovery course described later, the intervals between supplying and exhausting air are shortened to perform a rhythmic massage.

[0108] For the combination of "when I wake up in the morning" and "I want to stretch when I wake up" (scene ID=A2), a "full body stretching course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "full body stretching course" in which the whole body is massaged while being stretched in order to stretch the muscles of the whole body is determined as the massage course.

[0109] In the whole body stretching course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, mechanical massage is performed in the entire movable area of ​​the massage unit 23. For example, the massage operation alternates between kneading and tapping at predetermined intervals. In addition, the upper arm airbag 31, the thigh airbag 32, the forearm airbag 33, the calf airbag 34, and the sole airbag 35 are repeatedly inflated and deflated by supplying and discharging air at regular intervals. For example, the calf airbag 34 is inflated while holding the user's legs, and the user is stretched by reclining backward.

[0110] For the combination of "when waking up in the morning" and "want to take care of swelling after waking up" (scene ID=A3), the "whole body air course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "whole body air course" that massages the whole body only with air bags to promote blood circulation throughout the body is determined as the massage course.

[0111] In the whole body air course, air massage is performed. Specifically, air is supplied to and exhausted from the upper arm airbags 31, thigh airbags 32, forearm airbags 33, calf airbags 34, and sole airbags 35, which are repeatedly inflated and deflated at regular intervals. In this course, no mechanical massage is performed.

[0112] For the combination of "after work" and "want to be massaged hard all over the body" (scene ID=A4), a "full body fatigue recovery course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "full body fatigue recovery course" in which the whole body is massaged hard is determined as the massage course.

[0113] In the whole body fatigue recovery course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, mechanical massage is performed over the entire movable area of ​​massage unit 23. As the massage operation, for example, kneading and tapping are alternately performed at predetermined intervals. In addition, air is supplied to and exhausted from upper arm airbag 31, thigh airbag 32, forearm airbag 33, calf airbag 34, and sole airbag 35, which are repeatedly inflated and deflated at regular intervals.

[0114] For the combination of "after work" and "I want my shoulders massaged hard" (scene ID=A5), the "neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course" that focuses on massaging the neck and shoulders is determined as the massage course.

[0115] In the neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, the massage unit 23 is controlled to move back and forth mainly in the neck and shoulder area based on the output of the lift position sensor 48, and thus a mechanical massage is performed mainly on the neck and shoulders. As the massage operation, for example, a kneading operation and a tapping operation are alternately performed at predetermined intervals.

[0116] For the combination of "after work" and "want to have my lower back massaged hard" (scene ID=A6), a "lower back fatigue recovery course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "lower back fatigue recovery course" which strongly massages the lower back is determined as the massage course.

[0117] In the lower back fatigue recovery course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, the massage unit 23 is controlled to move back and forth mainly in the lower back area based on the output of the lift position sensor 48, and thus a mechanical massage is performed mainly on the lower back. As the massage operation, for example, a kneading operation and a tapping operation are alternately performed at predetermined intervals.

[0118] For the combination of "before going to sleep" and "want a thorough full body massage" (scene ID=A7), the "VIP course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "VIP course" which provides a long full body massage is determined as the massage course.

[0119] In the VIP course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, mechanical massage is performed in the entire movable area of ​​the massage unit 23. For example, the massage action alternates between kneading and tapping at predetermined intervals. In addition, the upper arm airbag 31, thigh airbag 32, forearm airbag 33, calf airbag 34, and sole airbag 35 are repeatedly inflated and deflated by supplying and discharging air at regular intervals. The VIP course has a massage time that is about twice as long as the whole body fatigue recovery course.

[0120] For the combination of "before going to bed" and "want to fall asleep easily" (scene ID=A8), the "night healing course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "night healing course" in which the whole body is massaged slowly is determined as the massage course.

[0121] In the night healing course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, mechanical massage is performed in the entire movable area of ​​the massage unit 23. For example, the massage operation alternates between kneading and tapping at predetermined intervals. In addition, the upper arm airbag 31, the thigh airbag 32, the forearm airbag 33, the calf airbag 34, and the sole airbag 35 are repeatedly inflated and deflated by supplying and discharging air at regular intervals. The night healing course is set to have a weaker intensity of mechanical massage and air massage than the above-mentioned whole body fatigue recovery course. The night healing course is set to have about twice the massage time than the above-mentioned whole body fatigue recovery course.

[0122] For the combination of "before going to bed" and "want to sleep refreshed" (scene ID=A9), the "slow stretch course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "slow stretch course" that slowly stretches the whole body is determined as the massage course.

[0123] In the slow stretch course, mechanical massage and air massage are performed. Specifically, mechanical massage is performed in the entire movable area of ​​the massage unit 23. For example, the massage action alternates between kneading and tapping at a predetermined time interval. In addition, the upper arm airbag 31, the thigh airbag 32, the forearm airbag 33, the calf airbag 34, and the sole airbag 35 are repeatedly inflated and deflated by supplying and discharging air at a constant cycle. For example, the calf airbag 34 is inflated while holding the user's legs, and the user is stretched by reclining backward. In addition, the strength of the mechanical massage and air massage is set to be weaker than that of the whole body fatigue recovery course. In addition, the slow stretch course is set to have about twice the massage time as the whole body fatigue recovery course.

[0124] Instead of or in addition to the above-mentioned course selection table 91A, a course selection table 91B as shown in FIG. 11 may be used.

[0125] In this course selection table 91B, similar to the above-mentioned course selection table 91A, "user's situation," "user's request," "message to user," "course ID," "course name," and "course content" are stored for each scene ID. For ease of explanation, the scene IDs are represented as C1 to C9. The course ID is an ID for identifying a massage course. For ease of explanation, the course IDs are represented as B1 to BN (N is an integer corresponding to the number of types of massage courses).

[0126] 11, two types of "situation candidates", "feeling tired" and "feeling unwell", are set in advance as "situation candidates". Three desire candidates are set in advance for each situation candidate.

[0127] For the combination of "I feel tired" and "I want to be massaged hard all over my body" (scene ID=C1), a "full-body fatigue recovery course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "full-body fatigue recovery course" in which the whole body is massaged hard is determined as the massage course. The contents of the full-body fatigue recovery course are the same as those of the full-body fatigue recovery course described above.

[0128] For the combination of "I feel tired" and "I want my shoulders massaged hard" (scene ID=C2), a "neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course" that focuses on massaging the neck and shoulders is determined as the massage course. The contents of the neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course are the same as the neck and shoulder fatigue recovery course described above.

[0129] For the combination of "I feel tired" and "I want my lower back massaged hard" (scene ID=C3), a "lower back fatigue recovery course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "lower back fatigue recovery course" that strongly massages the lower back is determined as the massage course. The content of the lower back fatigue recovery course is the same as the lower back fatigue recovery course described above.

[0130] For the combination of "feeling heavy" and "want to feel refreshed and active" (scene ID=C4), the "whole body refresh course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "whole body refresh course" that rhythmically massages the whole body is determined as the massage course. The contents of the whole body refresh course are the same as those of the whole body refresh course described above. For the combination of "feeling heavy" and "want to be massaged all over the body" (scene ID=C5), the "VIP course" is stored. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "VIP course" in which the whole body is massaged for a long time is determined as the massage course. The contents of the VIP course are the same as those of the VIP course described above.

[0131] When "I feel tired" and "I want to sleep refreshed" are selected, the "slow stretch course" is stored for the combination (scene ID=C6) of the "slow stretch course" which stretches the whole body slowly. Therefore, when this combination is selected, the "slow stretch course" which stretches the whole body slowly is determined as the massage course. The content of the slow stretch course is the same as the slow stretch course described above.
