[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-121062 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2005-21465 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The content of electrical therapy suitable for the user varies depending on the environment. However, since the environment changes daily, it is cumbersome to determine the content of electrical therapy each time. If an inappropriate electrical therapy is administered by mistake, the user may not be able to obtain a sufficient therapeutic effect.

[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide an electrical treatment program, an electrical treatment system, and an electrical treatment device that can provide an appropriate electrical treatment in accordance with the environment, which changes daily. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The electrical treatment program of the present disclosure causes a computer to execute a position acquisition step for acquiring the position of a terminal, a weather information acquisition step for acquiring weather information for a region including the position, and a treatment device control step for causing an electrical treatment device mounted on bedding to perform at least thermal treatment, the treatment device control step determining the duration of thermal treatment to be performed by the electrical treatment device based on the weather information.

[0010] The electrotherapy system according to the present disclosure is an electrotherapy system including an electrotherapy device mounted on bedding and a terminal capable of communicating with the electrotherapy device, and has a position acquisition unit that acquires the position of the terminal, a weather information acquisition unit that acquires weather information for the area including the position, and a treatment device control unit that causes the electrotherapy device to perform at least thermal therapy, and the treatment device control unit determines the duration of the thermal therapy to be performed by the electrotherapy device according to the weather information acquired by the weather information acquisition unit.

[0011] This electric treatment program and electric treatment system acquire the location of the terminal and acquire weather information for the area including the acquired location of the terminal. Furthermore, the time of the thermal treatment to be performed by the electric treatment device is determined according to the acquired weather information. Even in the same season, there may be cold days and hot days. For example, if the course of electric treatment is uniformly determined for each season, the time of the thermal treatment may be insufficient on a cold day, or may be too long on a hot day. In this electric treatment program and electric treatment system, the time of the thermal treatment is determined according to the weather information of the area where the terminal is located, and the time of the thermal treatment can be set to an appropriate time according to the weather information, so that the electric treatment can be performed appropriately according to the daily changing environment. Furthermore, since the time of the thermal treatment is automatically determined according to the weather information of the area where the terminal is located, it is not necessary to determine the time of the electric treatment each time. Therefore, it is possible to provide an electric treatment program and an electric treatment system that are highly convenient.

[0012] The weather information may include the minimum temperature of the region, and in the treatment device control step, the time of the thermal treatment may be determined according to the minimum temperature of the region. In this case, the time of the thermal treatment is determined according to the minimum temperature of the region where the terminal is located, and the time of the thermal treatment can be set to an appropriate time according to the minimum temperature. For example, when the minimum temperature is low, it is possible to set the time of the thermal treatment longer than when the minimum temperature is high. Therefore, by determining the time of the thermal treatment according to the minimum temperature of the region, it is possible to prevent the time of the thermal treatment from being too long or too short due to fluctuations in the minimum temperature.

[0013] The electrical treatment program of the present disclosure may have a first electrical treatment course that executes a position acquisition step, a weather information acquisition step, and a treatment device control step, and a second electrical treatment course in which the time for potential treatment to be performed by the electrical treatment device and the time for thermal treatment to be performed by the electrical treatment device are predetermined, and the electrical treatment and thermal treatment are performed for predetermined times, the first electrical treatment course and the second electrical treatment course being selectable by a user using the electrical treatment program, and the program may have a step of accepting a selection operation of the first electrical treatment course and the second electrical treatment course by the user, and a step of executing either the first electrical treatment course or the second electrical treatment course selected by the user.

[0014] In this case, the user can select either the first electric treatment course, in which the content of the electric treatment is automatically determined according to the weather information of the area where the terminal is located, or the second electric treatment course, in which the user can arbitrarily determine the content of the electric treatment. This allows the user to determine the content of the electric treatment according to the physical condition or mood of the day, making it possible to provide a more convenient electric treatment program.

[0015] The electric therapy device of the present disclosure is an electric therapy device that performs at least thermal therapy via bedding, and is equipped with a position acquisition means for acquiring the position of the electric therapy device, a weather information acquisition means for acquiring weather information for the area including the position, and a treatment device control means for performing at least thermal therapy, wherein the treatment device control means determines the time for which thermal therapy is to be performed according to the weather information, and performs the thermal therapy for the determined time.

[0016] This electric treatment device acquires weather information for the area including the location of the electric treatment device, and determines the time of the thermal treatment according to the acquired weather information. In this electric treatment device, the time of the thermal treatment is determined according to the weather information for the area where the electric treatment device is located, and the time of the thermal treatment can be set to an appropriate time according to the weather information. Therefore, like the above-mentioned electric treatment program and electric treatment system, electric treatment can be performed appropriately according to the environment that changes daily. Furthermore, since the time of the thermal treatment is automatically determined according to the weather information for the area where the electric treatment device is located, it is not necessary to determine the time of the electric treatment each time. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly convenient electric treatment device. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide an electrical treatment program, an electrical treatment system, and an electrical treatment device that can perform an appropriate electrical treatment in accordance with the environment, which changes daily.

[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an electrotherapy device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are omitted as appropriate. In addition, the drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and the dimensional ratios and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0020] An "electrical therapy device" is a device that performs electrical therapy. "Electrical therapy" refers to a treatment that passes an electric current through the body of the user of the electrical therapy device to relieve the sensation of physical pain, improve poor circulation, and relieve pain around the lower back or stiff shoulders.

[0021] Electrical treatment includes at least one of electric potential treatment and thermal treatment. "Electric potential treatment" refers to a treatment in which an electric field is generated around the user's body and the electric field is used to improve headaches, stiff shoulders, constipation, or insomnia. For example, in "electric potential treatment," a negative electric potential is applied to the body to relieve at least one of headaches, stiff shoulders, insomnia, and chronic constipation. "Heat treatment" refers to treatment of the body by applying thermal stimulation to the body using heat generated by electricity. For example, "heat treatment" refers to treatment of improving blood circulation in the body with heat, thereby activating gastrointestinal function, or easing muscle stiffness, fatigue, neuralgia, or muscle pain.

[0022] In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the electric therapy device is a home electric therapy device. "Home use" indicates that it is used at the user's home, and is not used for commercial or medical purposes, for example. The electric therapy device in this disclosure is an electric therapy device that can be easily used by the user at home, and is an electric therapy device that can be easily operated even by elderly people using a terminal and a controller.

[0023] "Bedding" refers to something that is placed on the body when resting. Examples of "bedding" include bedding such as mattresses, futons, or bed pads, bedding covers, pillows, cushions, and cushions. In the following description of the embodiment, an example in which the bedding is bedding will be described.

[0024] "User" refers to a user of an electrotherapy program, an electrotherapy system, or an electrotherapy device. Examples of the "user" include the subject on whom electrotherapy is performed, or members of his / her family. "Treatment device" includes treatment equipment mounted on bedding. "Treatment device" refers to, for example, at least one of an electric current source and a heating element that perform treatment. "Controller" refers to, for example, a device attached to bedding and that controls the treatment device.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an electrotherapy system 10 according to the present embodiment. The electrotherapy system 10 includes an electrotherapy device 1 equipped with bedding 2, and a terminal 5 capable of communicating with the electrotherapy device 1. The electrotherapy device 1 is, for example, an electric potential thermal therapy device that performs both electric potential therapy and thermal therapy. The electrotherapy device 1 is a home electric potential thermal therapy device used in the user's home. As an example, the electrotherapy device 1 is a combined electric potential thermal therapy device (Class II) home medical device, which is a combined electric potential therapy device and thermal therapy device for home use. The electrotherapy device 1 relieves headaches, stiff shoulders, insomnia, and chronic constipation as an electric potential therapy device, and also provides a thermal effect by electric heat as a thermal therapy device. For example, the electrotherapy device 1 is used in an ordinary home.

[0026] The electric treatment device 1 includes bedding 2, a treatment device 3, and a controller 20. In this embodiment, the bedding 2 is a mattress on which a pillow 4 is placed. For example, the bedding 2 has a rectangular shape. The bedding 2 has a long side 2b extending in a first direction D1 and a short side 2c extending in a second direction D2 intersecting the first direction D1. The first direction D1 is the longitudinal direction of the bedding 2, and the second direction D2 is the width direction of the bedding 2. The bedding 2 may be, for example, a cotton mattress manufactured by an airlaid method.

[0027] The treatment device 3 is composed of, for example, a potential wire built into the bedding 2. The treatment device 3 may include a carbon surface heating element. The treatment device 3 may be a heating element composed of processed carbon material. The treatment device 3 may be a flat plate-shaped heater (surface heating element). The treatment device 3 may be a nichrome wire. When the treatment device 3 is a surface heating element, it is possible to speed up the temperature rise in the treatment device 3.

[0028] The controller 20 receives power via a power cord C connected to the controller 20 and controls the treatment device 3. The controller 20 is disposed, for example, in a corner 2d of the bedding 2. That is, the controller 20 is provided at one end of the bedding 2 in the first direction D1 and at one end of the bedding 2 in the second direction D2. This makes it possible to prevent the controller 20 from getting in the way when the user sleeps on the bedding 2.

[0029] For example, the controller 20 is provided at an end on the side where the pillow 4 is placed in the first direction D1 in a plan view and at an end in the second direction D2. In this case, the controller 20 is located beside the head of a user lying on the bedding 2, so that even a user lying on the bedding 2 can easily operate the controller 20.

[0030] For example, the controller 20 has an operation screen 22 which is a touch panel. The portion of the controller 20 where the operation screen 22 is provided may be, for example, detachable from the bedding 2. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the controller 20 may be detachable from the bedding 2 with the operation screen 22 turned over. In this case, the controller 20 can be operated even if the bedding 2 is turned over, and it is possible to select whether the controller 20 is located on the right side or the left side as viewed from the user lying on the bedding 2. However, the controller 20 may be integrated with the bedding 2 (non-detachable). Details of the controller 20 will be described later.

[0031] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the electrotherapy system 10. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the electrotherapy device 1 includes the bedding 2. The bedding 2 includes a controller 20 and a therapy device 3. The controller 20 includes a connection unit 21, a communication unit 23, and a therapy device control unit 24 as functional elements. Unlike the above example, the electrotherapy device may not include the bedding 2, and the electrotherapy device 1 may be mounted on the bedding. The electrotherapy device 1 performs at least a thermal therapy via the bedding 2. For example, the terminal 5 includes a display unit 11, an electric potential therapy unit 12, a thermal therapy unit 13, a notification unit 14, a time measurement unit 15, a course setting unit 16, a timer setting unit 17, a drying unit 18, and an application 19 as functional elements.

[0032] The electrotherapy system 10 has, for example, an application 19 which is an electrotherapy program installed in the terminal 5 and operable by the user. The type of application 19 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a download application downloaded from a server or an application for a social network service (SNS). The application 19 may include a function as a communication application. The application 19 has, as its functional elements, a communication unit 19a, a position acquisition unit 19b, and a weather information acquisition unit 19c.

[0033] The communication unit 19a communicates between the terminal 5 and an external device of the terminal 5. The terminal 5 is capable of communicating with the controller 20 by being provided with the communication unit 19a. The communication unit 19a is capable of communicating with an external computer of the terminal 5. Methods of communication by the communication unit 19a include wired communication and wireless communication. Types of wireless communication include, for example, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), near field communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), mobile data communication, and infrared communication.

[0034] The position acquisition unit 19b acquires the position of the terminal 5. The "position" is information including the latitude and longitude of the location where the terminal 5 is located. As a method for the position acquisition unit 19b to acquire the position of the terminal 5, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) that measures position information using a satellite network can be mentioned.

[0035] The weather information acquisition unit 19c acquires weather information for an area including the position acquired by the position acquisition unit 19b. The "area" is, for example, an area of ​​a city or ward or larger unit including the position acquired by the position acquisition unit 19b. The "area" may be an area of ​​a town, village, or address unit. The "weather information" is information including temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, air pressure, cloud conditions, other atmospheric conditions, or other natural conditions (for example, cherry blossom blooming information or snowfall) in a specific time period. The weather information includes weather forecast data. As an example, the weather information is acquired from a weather information providing service through a weather information API (Application Programming Interface). If the area including the position acquired by the position acquisition unit 19b is an area not registered in the weather information API, the weather information acquisition unit 19c acquires weather information for a registered area closest to the position acquired by the position acquisition unit 19b.

[0036] The communication unit 19a, the position acquisition unit 19b, and the weather information acquisition unit 19c may be provided as hardware in the terminal 5, or may be software that is added later. For example, the communication unit 19a, the position acquisition unit 19b, and the weather information acquisition unit 19c may be installed together with the application 19 from an external computer or the like.

[0037] The weather information may include the minimum temperature of a region. The "minimum temperature" refers to, for example, the minimum temperature in a predetermined time range before and after the time when the electrical treatment is performed. The minimum temperature may be the minimum temperature of the next day, the minimum temperature of the current day, the minimum temperature of the previous day, the minimum temperature of the week including the current day, or the minimum temperature of the month including the current day. The minimum temperature may be, for example, the minimum temperature of the next day in a region. As an example, the minimum temperature is the minimum temperature of the next day provided by the weather information API at 3 p.m. on the current day.

[0038] The terminal 5 includes a processor (e.g., a CPU) that executes an operating system and software (applications), a storage unit, a communication control unit, an input device such as a button, and an output device such as a display. Each functional element of the electric treatment device 1 is realized by loading an application 19 of the electric treatment device 1 into the processor or storage unit of the terminal 5 and executing the application 19.

[0039] Each functional element of the electrotherapy device 1 may be executed by an application 19 downloaded to the terminal 5. Also, each functional element of the electrotherapy device 1 may be executed by a distributed processing system, a client-server system, or a cloud system configured by a plurality of computers. In this embodiment, the "electrotherapy program" is the application 19.

[0040] As an example, the processor of the terminal 5 operates the communication control unit or the output device described above to read and write data from and to the storage unit. Data or a database used in the processing of the electrotherapy device 1 is stored in the storage unit of the terminal 5. The terminal 5 is capable of communicating with the controller 20 via the communication unit 23 of the electrotherapy device 1.

[0041] The terminal 5 is a device capable of executing the functions of the electric treatment device 1. The terminal 5 indicates a device connectable to the electric treatment device 1, and examples of the terminal 5 include a mobile phone including a smartphone, a tablet, a notebook computer, and a desktop computer.

[0042] 4, the display unit 11 displays an operation screen 50 of the electrotherapy device 1 on the display 5b of the terminal 5. The operation screen 50 displays, for example, a course selection button 51, a setting content display section 52, a temperature setting button 53, a power button 54, a body part selection button 55, a quick heating selection button 56, a time setting button 57, and an add course button 59. The add course button 59 is a button for adding a preset course of electrotherapy.

[0043] The electric potential treatment unit 12 applies electric current to the treatment device 3 to perform electric potential treatment on the user, and the thermal treatment unit 13 heats the treatment device 3 to perform thermal treatment on the user. The notification unit 14 displays on the controller 20 that a certain period of time has passed since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1. "The time since the start of use of the electric treatment device" refers to the time from when the user first obtained the electric treatment device 1 and first operated the electric treatment device 1. For example, the time measurement unit 15 measures the time from the start of use of the electric treatment device 1, and the notification unit 14 displays on the controller 20 when the time measured by the time measurement unit 15 has passed a certain period of time.

[0044] The above-mentioned "certain period of time" is a period of time for encouraging the user of the electric treatment device 1 to perform maintenance on the electric treatment device 1 or to replace the electric treatment device 1. The "certain period of time" is, for example, 14,600 hours. 14,600 hours is the time when the electric treatment device 1 is used continuously for 8 hours a day x 365 days x 5 years.

[0045] In this case, after five years or more have passed since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1, the notification unit 14 displays on the controller 20 that a certain period of time has passed, so that the user can be prompted to perform maintenance, etc., on the electric treatment device 1 at the point when five years or more have passed. Note that the value of this "certain period of time" is not limited to 14,600 hours and can be changed as appropriate. The method of display on the controller 20 by the notification unit 14 will be described later.

[0046] The time since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1, measured by the time measurement unit 15, is received by an external computer via the communication unit 19a of the terminal 5, for example. The external computer receives the usage status of the electric treatment device 1. As an example, the external computer receives the timing at which the electric treatment device 1 broke down from the terminal 5. The external computer may compare the time since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1 with the timing at which the electric treatment device 1 broke down. Then, the external computer may update the "fixed period" that prompts maintenance of the electric treatment device 1, etc., based on the result of the comparison.

[0047] 4, the operation screen 50 displayed on the display 5b of the terminal 5 will be described. The course selection button 51, temperature setting button 53, power button 54, body part selection button 55, quick heating selection button 56, time setting button 57, and course addition button 59 are displayed as buttons of about the same size as an adult's fingertip, for example. In this case, the course selection button 51, temperature setting button 53, power button 54, body part selection button 55, quick heating selection button 56, time setting button 57, and course addition button 59 are displayed large and easy to see, so that even elderly people can easily operate the operation screen 50 and the possibility of pressing the wrong button can be reduced.

[0048] The course selection buttons 51 include, for example, a heat button 51b, an alternating button 51c, a potential button 51d, and a season selection button 51f. The season selection buttons 51f include a winter button 51g, a spring / autumn button 51h, and a summer button 51j. As an example, the heat button 51b, the alternating button 51c, the potential button 51d, the winter button 51g, the spring / autumn button 51h, and the summer button 51j are arranged from top to bottom in this order on the left edge of the operation screen 50.

[0049] For example, the heat button 51b, the alternating button 51c, the potential button 51d, the winter button 51g, the spring / autumn button 51h, and the summer button 51j each have a rectangular shape. When the user presses the course selection button 51 on the operation screen 50, the course setting unit 16 sets a course.

[0050] The courses set by the course setting unit 16 are, for example, a heat treatment course, an alternating treatment course, an electric potential treatment course, a winter course, a spring / autumn course, and a summer course. The heat treatment course is a course in which the heat treatment unit 13 performs heat treatment on the user lying on the bedding 2, and the electric potential treatment course is a course in which the electric potential treatment unit 12 performs electric potential treatment on the user lying on the bedding 2.

[0051] The alternating treatment course is a course in which heat treatment and alternating treatment are alternately performed on a user lying on the bedding 2. In the alternating treatment course, for example, when heat treatment is performed and the temperature of the bedding 2 becomes equal to or higher than a first threshold, the treatment is switched to electric potential treatment, and when the temperature of the bedding 2 becomes equal to or lower than a second threshold while the electric potential treatment is being performed, the treatment is switched to heat treatment. The first threshold and the second threshold are temperature setting values ​​that are appropriately set.

[0052] The summer course, spring / autumn course, and winter course will be described with reference to FIG. 5. The summer course, spring / autumn course, and winter course are composed of any combination of heat treatment, potential treatment, alternating treatment, and warmth retention. The summer course is a course in which the time for potential treatment is longer than the time for heat treatment. The spring / autumn course is a course in which heat treatment and potential treatment are performed in a well-balanced manner. The winter course is a course in which the time for heat treatment is longer than the time for potential treatment.

[0053] In the summer course, from the start of treatment, six hours of electric potential treatment, two hours of alternating treatment, and two hours of warmth are performed consecutively, in that order. The alternating treatment in the summer course involves alternating between one minute of heat treatment and one minute of electric potential treatment. The total time for heat treatment in the summer course is 60 minutes, and the total time for electric potential treatment is 420 minutes. The proportion of the time for heat treatment out of the total treatment time for the summer course (the total time for heat treatment and electric potential treatment) is 13%, and the proportion of the time for electric potential treatment is 87%.

[0054] In the Spring and Autumn Course, from the start of treatment, one hour of heat treatment, five hours of alternating treatment, two hours of heat treatment, and two hours of warmth are performed consecutively in that order. The alternating treatment in the Spring and Autumn Course alternates between three minutes of heat treatment and one minute of electric potential treatment. The entire Spring and Autumn Course lasts 405 minutes of heat treatment, and 75 minutes of electric potential treatment. The proportion of time spent on heat treatment out of the total treatment time in the Spring and Autumn Course is 84%, and the proportion of time spent on electric potential treatment is 16%.

[0055] In the winter course, from the start of treatment, one hour of heat treatment, five hours of alternating treatment, two hours of heat treatment, and two hours of warmth are performed consecutively in that order. The alternating treatment in the winter course alternates between four minutes of heat treatment and one minute of electric potential treatment. The total time for heat treatment in the winter course is 420 minutes, and the time for electric potential treatment is 60 minutes. The proportion of the time for heat treatment to the total treatment time in the winter course is 87%, and the proportion of the time for electric potential treatment is 13%.

[0056] The above courses may be set before the execution of treatment by the course setting unit 16. Above, examples of the courses set in the electric treatment device 1 and the types of buttons of the course selection buttons 51 have been described. However, the types of the courses and the types and order of the buttons of the course selection buttons 51 are not limited to the above examples and can be changed as appropriate.

[0057] The setting content display section 52 has a remaining time display section 52b that displays the remaining time for which the electric treatment device 1 operates, a temperature display section 52c that displays the set temperature, a treatment area display section 52d that displays the area to be treated, a quick warm-up display section 52f, and a status display section 52g. For example, the remaining time display section 52b displays the remaining time for which the electric treatment device 1 operates in minutes. The temperature display section 52c includes a numerical value display section 52c1 that displays the set temperature as a numerical value, and an indicator display section 52c2 that displays the set temperature as an indicator.

[0058] Numeric display section 52c1 displays the set temperature in, for example, nine levels of numeric values. In this case, the lowest temperature is displayed when the numeric value displayed in numeric display section 52c1 is 1, and the highest temperature is displayed when the numeric value displayed in numeric display section 52c1 is 9. Indicator display section 52c2 is linked to the numeric value in numeric display section 52c1.

[0059] For example, the area of ​​the colored portion of indicator display portion 52c2 changes depending on the set temperature. When the area of ​​the colored portion of indicator display portion 52c2 is the smallest (for example, when numerical value display portion 52c1 is 1), the temperature is the lowest, and when the area of ​​the colored portion of indicator display portion 52c2 is the largest (for example, when numerical value display portion 52c1 is 9), the temperature is the highest.

[0060] The treatment area display section 52d displays the area of ​​the user's body that is the target of treatment. The display of the treatment area display section 52d is linked to, for example, the operation of the body area selection button 55. As an example, the body area selection button 55 includes a whole body button 55b and a foot button 55c, which allows the user to select the area to be treated from the whole body or the foot in the electrotherapy system 10.

[0061] When the electric treatment device 1 treats the whole body of the user, for example, the entire treatment device 3 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is energized. On the other hand, when the electric treatment device 1 treats the feet of the user, for example, only the part 3b of the treatment device 3 opposite to the pillow 4 is energized. For example, the treatment part display section 52d displays the characters "whole body" when the whole body button 55b is pressed, and displays the characters "feet" when the foot button 55c is pressed.

[0062] As an example, the quick-warm-up display section 52f displays that the electric treatment device 1 is performing a quick-warm-up operation. For example, the quick-warm-up operation indicates that a thermotherapy is performed continuously for one hour from the start of operation of the electric treatment device 1. For example, when the quick-warm-up selection button 56 is pressed, the quick-warm-up display section 52f displays the characters "quick-warm-up" indicating that a quick-warm-up operation is being performed.

[0063] Status display unit 52g displays the operation details of electric treatment device 1. For example, electric treatment device 1 has a function of treating the user, a function of keeping warm, and a function of drying bedding 2. As an example, status display unit 52g displays whether electric treatment device 1 is performing heat treatment, whether electric treatment device 1 is performing potential treatment, whether electric treatment device 1 is keeping warm, or whether electric treatment device 1 is drying. FIG. 4 shows an example of status display unit 52g when electric treatment device 1 is performing heat treatment.

[0064] As an example, setting content display section 52 is provided at the top of operation screen 50 and to the right of course selection button 51. In setting content display section 52, remaining time display section 52b is displayed above temperature display section 52c, treatment area display section 52d, and fast-warming display section 52f. Temperature display section 52c, treatment area display section 52d, and fast-warming display section 52f are arranged, for example, horizontally on operation screen 50.

[0065] The temperature setting button 53 is a button for setting the temperature of heat generated by the electric treatment device 1. The temperature setting button 53 makes it possible to adjust the set temperature of the electric treatment device 1. The temperature setting button 53 includes, for example, a plus button 53b and a minus button 53c, and the plus button 53b and the minus button 53c are arranged vertically on the operation screen 50.

[0066] Pressing the plus button 53b increases the set temperature of the electric treatment device 1, and pressing the minus button 53c decreases the set temperature of the electric treatment device 1. The temperature setting button 53 is displayed between the course selection button 51 and the body part selection button 55. The temperature setting button 53 has, for example, a rectangular shape.

[0067] The power button 54 is displayed, for example, below the temperature setting button 53. The electric treatment device 1 can be turned on and off by pressing the power button 54. The power button 54 is, for example, circular in shape. The body part selection button 55 is displayed on the opposite side of the course selection button 51 as viewed from the temperature setting button 53. The whole body button 55b and the foot button 55c are, for example, rectangular in shape.

[0068] The quick-warming selection button 56 is displayed, for example, below the body part selection button 55. The quick-warming selection button 56 is, for example, in the shape of a horizontally long rectangle. The time setting button 57 is a section that displays the time to be set. In the electric treatment device 1, the operating time of the electric treatment device 1 can be set, and the operating time of the electric treatment device 1 can be selected from, for example, 1 hour, 6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours.

[0069] Of the operating times of the electric treatment device 1, 6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours correspond to the user's life rhythm, and by being able to set these times, the operating time of the electric treatment device 1 can be made closer to the user's life rhythm. Of the operating times of the electric treatment device 1, 1 hour is a time that is set when the user wishes to use the electric treatment device 1 only for a short time.

[0070] Of the operating time of the electric treatment device 1, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 8 hours are the treatment time by the electric treatment device 1, and the upper limit of the treatment time by the electric treatment device 1 is 8 hours. Of the operating time of the electric treatment device 1, 10 hours is the sum of the treatment time by the electric treatment device 1 and the warming time of 2 hours after the treatment by the electric treatment device 1. For example, the temperature of the treatment device 3 during warming is lower than the temperature of the treatment device 3 during treatment.

[0071] As an example, the time setting buttons 57 include a 1-hour button 57b, a 6-hour button 57c, an 8-hour button 57d, and a 10-hour button 57f. The timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1. For example, when the 1-hour button 57b is pressed, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 1 hour, when the 6-hour button 57c is pressed, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 6 hours, when the 8-hour button 57d is pressed, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 8 hours, and when the 10-hour button 57f is pressed, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 10 hours.

[0072] For example, the course selection button 51 further includes a dry button 51k. When the dry button 51k is pressed, the dryer 18 heats the treatment device 3 to reduce the humidity of the bedding 2. As an example, the dry button 51k is displayed below the summer button 51j. For example, the dry button 51k has a rectangular shape. The dryer 18 does not need to heat the treatment device 3 unless the dry button 51k is pressed and held for a certain period of time or longer (for example, 3 seconds or longer).

[0073] For example, when the drying button 51k is pressed and held, the display unit 11 displays an operation screen 50A, which is different from the operation screen 50, on the display 5b as shown in Fig. 6. The operation screen 50A has the above-mentioned course selection button 51, remaining time display section 52b, setting content display section 52k, power button 54, and course addition button 59. The setting content display section 52k displays that the electrotherapy device 1 is in the drying process.

[0074] The add course button 59 is displayed, for example, below the course selection button 51. As an example, the add course button 59 has a horizontally long rectangular shape. The user can use the add course button 59 to execute a course other than the course displayed on the course selection button 51. When the add course button 59 is pressed, the display unit 11 displays an operation screen 50B for adding a new course on the display 5b, as shown in FIG. 7. The operation screen 50B has the above-mentioned course selection button 51, the add course button 59, and the add button 59b.

[0075] When the add button 59b is pressed, the display unit 11 displays the additional course selection menu 60 on the display 5b, superimposed on the operation screen 50B, as shown in FIG. 8. As an example, the additional course selection menu 60 displays a deep sleep course button 60b, a deep sleep course light button 60c, a balance course button 60d, a recovery course light button 60e, a recovery course button 60f, and an automatic course button 60g. Each of these buttons corresponds to a course that can be selected in the additional course selection menu 60. The additional course selection menu 60 displays an OK button 60h and a cancel button 60i. When the cancel button 60i is pressed, the additional course selection menu 60 disappears from the display 5b.

[0076] In the electric treatment device 1, either the first electric treatment course or the second electric treatment course is executed. For example, the first electric treatment course is a course in which the heat treatment and the electric potential treatment are automatically performed. The second electric treatment course is a course in which the time of the heat treatment and the time of the electric potential treatment are predetermined and can be set by the user of the electric treatment device 1. In this embodiment, in the electric treatment device 1, any of a plurality of second electric treatment courses in which the time of the heat treatment and the time of the electric potential treatment are different from each other is set. The plurality of second electric treatment courses are, for example, the first course, the second course, the third course, the fourth course, and the fifth course. In this embodiment, the first course is a deep sleep course, the second course is a deep sleep course light, the third course is a balance course, the fourth course is a recovery course light, and the fifth course is a recovery course. The first electric treatment course is, for example, an automatic course described later.

[0077] With reference to FIG. 9, the contents of the deep sleep course, deep sleep course light, balance course, recovery course light and recovery course (hereinafter, these five courses may be referred to as "additional courses") will be described. The deep sleep course is a course in which the time of electric potential treatment is longer than the time of thermal treatment, and the recovery course is a course in which the time of thermal treatment is longer than the time of electric potential treatment. The balance course is a course in which the difference between the time of electric potential treatment and the time of thermal treatment is the smallest. The deep sleep course light is a course in which the length of the thermal treatment is longer than the deep sleep course and shorter than the balance course. The recovery course light is a course in which the length of the thermal treatment is longer than the balance course and shorter than the recovery course. Thus, in the electric treatment device 1 according to this embodiment, a plurality of courses with different lengths of thermal treatment are prepared.

[0078] In the deep sleep course (first course), one hour of heat treatment, six hours of electric potential treatment, and one hour of heat treatment are performed in this order from the start of treatment. As an example, the heat treatment time in the deep sleep course is 120 minutes, and the electric potential treatment time in the deep sleep course is 360 minutes. For example, the time ratio of heat treatment to the total treatment time of the deep sleep course is 25%, and the time ratio of electric potential treatment to the total treatment time of the deep sleep course is 75%. Since the deep sleep course has a longer time for electric potential treatment compared to other courses, it is recommended for users who wish to improve symptoms such as headaches, stiff shoulders, insomnia, or constipation.

[0079] In the Good Sleep Course Right (second course), from the start of treatment, 1 hour of heat treatment, 1.5 hours of electric potential treatment, 0.5 hours of heat treatment, 1.5 hours of electric potential treatment, 0.5 hours of heat treatment, 1.5 hours of electric potential treatment, 0.5 hours of heat treatment, 0.5 hours of electric potential treatment, and 0.5 hours of heat treatment are performed in this order. As an example, the time of heat treatment performed in the Good Sleep Course Right is 180 minutes, and the time of electric potential treatment performed in the Good Sleep Course Right is 300 minutes. For example, the time ratio of heat treatment to the total treatment time of the Good Sleep Course Right is 38%, and the time ratio of electric potential treatment to the total treatment time of the Good Sleep Course Right is 62%. In the Good Sleep Course Right, the time of electric potential treatment is longer than the Balance Course and shorter than the Good Sleep Course. The Good Sleep Course Right is recommended for users who want to improve symptoms such as headaches, stiff shoulders, insomnia, or constipation and who want to receive heat treatment for longer than the Good Sleep Course.

[0080] In the balanced course (third course), from the start of treatment, one hour of heat treatment, one hour of electric potential treatment, one hour of heat treatment, one hour of electric potential treatment, one hour of heat treatment, one hour of electric potential treatment, one hour of heat treatment, 0.5 hour of electric potential treatment, and 0.5 hour of heat treatment are performed in this order. As an example, the time of heat treatment performed in the balanced course is 270 minutes, and the time of electric potential treatment performed in the balanced course is 210 minutes. For example, the time ratio of heat treatment to the total treatment time of the balanced course is 56%, and the time ratio of electric potential treatment to the total treatment time of the balanced course is 44%. The balanced course is recommended for users who wish to improve various symptoms such as headaches, stiff shoulders, insomnia, constipation, poor circulation, fatigue, neuralgia, or muscle pain.

[0081] In the recovery course light (fourth course), from the start of treatment, one hour of heat treatment, one hour of electric potential treatment, 1.5 hours of heat treatment, 0.5 hours of electric potential treatment, 1.5 hours of heat treatment, 0.5 hours of electric potential treatment, and two hours of heat treatment are performed in this order. As an example, the time of heat treatment performed in the recovery course light is 360 minutes, and the time of electric potential treatment performed in the recovery course light is 120 minutes. For example, the time ratio of heat treatment to the total treatment time of the recovery course light is 75%, and the time ratio of electric potential treatment to the total treatment time of the recovery course light is 25%. In the recovery course light, the time of heat treatment is longer than in the balance course, so the user's body can be warmed more sufficiently. The recovery course light is recommended for users who want to improve symptoms of poor circulation, fatigue, neuralgia, or muscle pain.

[0082] In the recovery course (5th course), 1 hour of heat treatment, 1 hour of electric potential treatment, 3.5 hours of heat treatment, 0.5 hour of electric potential treatment, and 2 hours of heat treatment are performed in this order from the start of treatment. The time of heat treatment performed in the recovery course is 390 minutes, and the time of electric potential treatment performed in the recovery course is 90 minutes. The time ratio of heat treatment to the total treatment time of the recovery course is 81%, and the time ratio of electric potential treatment to the total treatment time of the recovery course is 19%. In the recovery course, the time of heat treatment is even longer than in the recovery course light, so the user's body can be warmed more sufficiently. The recovery course is recommended for users who want to improve symptoms of poor circulation, fatigue, neuralgia, or muscle pain and who want to warm their body for longer than in the recovery course light.

[0083] When any one of the Deep Sleep Course button 60b, Deep Sleep Course Light button 60c, Balance Course button 60d, Recovery Course Light button 60e, or Recovery Course button 60f is pressed and then the OK button 60h is pressed, the display unit 11 displays on the display 5b an operation screen 50C for setting the details of the course, as shown in FIG. 10.

[0084] The operation screen 50C displays a course setting menu 61 used when setting details of a course. The course setting menu 61 displays a treatment time display section 61b, a time setting section 61c, a repetition setting section 61d, a heat level setting section 61e, a save button 61f, and a back button 61g. When the back button 61g is pressed in the treatment time display section 61b displayed in the operation screen 50C, the treatment time display section 61b disappears from the display 5b.

[0085] The start time and end time of the set course are displayed in the treatment time display section 61b. The user can select the start time and end time of the course from the time setting section 61c. For example, the start time and end time selected in the time setting section 61c are displayed as the start time and end time of the selected course in the treatment time display section 61b.

[0086] In the repeat setting section 61d, whether or not to execute the course repeatedly is set. When the repeat setting section 61d is pressed, the display unit 11 displays the repeat setting menu 62 on the display 5b, superimposed on the operation screen 50C, as shown in Fig. 11. The repeat setting menu 62 includes a one-time execution button 62b, a daily button 62c, a weekday button 62d, a weekend button 62e, and a custom button 62f.

[0087] Pressing the execute once button 62b allows the setting to be made such that the course is performed only once between the start time and the end time (hereinafter referred to as the set treatment time) displayed in the treatment time display section 61b. Pressing the daily button 62c allows the setting to be made such that the course is performed at the set treatment time every day. Pressing the weekday button 62d allows the setting to be made such that the course is performed at the set treatment time only from Monday to Friday. Pressing the weekend button 62e allows the setting to be made such that the course is performed at the set treatment time only on Saturdays and Sundays. Pressing the custom button 62f allows the day of the week on which the course is performed at the set treatment time to be set arbitrarily. In other words, by pressing the custom button 62f, it is possible to set which of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the course is to be performed at the set treatment time.

[0088] When any one of the execute once button 62b, the daily button 62c, the weekday button 62d, the weekend button 62e, and the custom button 62f is selected and pressed in the repetition setting menu 62, the selected setting is displayed in the repetition setting section 61d, as shown in Fig. 10. As an example, when the execute once button 62b in the repetition setting menu 62 is selected and pressed, "execute once" is displayed in the repetition setting section 61d.

[0089] The heat level setting section 61e allows the user to set the heat level for heat therapy. The "heat level" refers to the temperature of the treatment device 3 when heat therapy is performed. When the heat level setting section 61e is pressed, the display section 11 displays a heat level setting menu 63 on the display 5b, superimposed on the operation screen 50C, as shown in Fig. 12. The heat level setting menu 63 displays a heat level selection section 63b, an OK button 63c, and a cancel button 63d.

[0090] In the heat level selection section 63b, the heat level in the heat treatment of the course can be selected by scrolling. As an example, the heat level can be selected from nine levels, 1 (about 33°C), 2 (about 36°C), 3 (about 38°C), 4 (about 41°C), 5 (about 43°C), 6 (about 46°C), 7 (about 48°C), 8 (about 51°C), and 9 (about 53°C). The default heat level is 1 (about 33°C). In FIG. 12, levels 2 to 6 are displayed, and 4 (about 41°C) is selected. When the OK button 63c is pressed, the heat level selected in the heat level selection section 63b is set. When the cancel button 63d is pressed, the selection in the heat level selection section 63b is canceled, and the heat level setting menu 63 disappears.

[0091] The heat level setting set in the heat level setting menu 63 is displayed in the heat level setting section 61e as shown in Fig. 10. As an example, the heat level setting section 61e displays "1", indicating that the heat level setting is at stage 1 (approximately 33°C).

[0092] In the course setting menu 61, after the set treatment time, repetition setting and heat level setting are determined, when the save button 61f is pressed, a course with the set contents is added and the course is executed for the determined set treatment time.

[0093] For example, by installing application 19 on terminal 5, an additional course can be added as a new function without changing the configuration of electrotherapy device 1. The automatic course will be described in detail. The automatic course is a first electrotherapy course in which the treatment content is automatically determined by application 19 according to the weather information of the area including the position of terminal 5. The position of terminal 5 is acquired by position acquisition unit 19b, and the weather information of the area is acquired by weather information acquisition unit 19c.

[0094] For example, in the automatic course, one of the multiple courses is determined according to the minimum temperature on the next day in the area including the location of the terminal 5. As an example, in the automatic course, one of the three courses, the summer course, the spring / autumn course, and the winter course, is automatically determined according to the minimum temperature on the next day in the city / ward / town / village including the location of the terminal 5. In this way, the first electric treatment course (automatic course) includes multiple courses (summer course, spring / autumn course, and winter course) that are set in advance, and the first electric treatment course determines the time of the thermal treatment by determining which of the multiple courses to execute. As described above, the thermal treatment time of each course is the longest for the winter course and the shortest for the summer course. The minimum temperature on the next day is, for example, the minimum temperature provided by the weather information API at 3 p.m. on the day.

[0095] In this embodiment, if the minimum temperature of the next day is less than 15°C, the winter course is automatically selected; if it is between 15°C and 21°C, the spring / autumn course is selected; and if it is 21°C or more, the summer course is automatically selected. If the minimum temperature of the next day is lower than a predetermined temperature threshold, a course in which the thermal treatment time is longer than a certain time (for example, the winter course) is selected, and if the maximum temperature of the next day is equal to or higher than the temperature threshold, a course in which the thermal treatment time is equal to or shorter than the certain time (for example, the summer course) is selected. By automatically selecting in this way, treatment can be performed according to the minimum temperature of the next day. Note that the conditions for determining the course are not limited to the above examples.

[0096] When the automatic course button 60g shown in Fig. 8 is pressed and then the OK button 60h is pressed, the display unit 11 displays an operation screen 50D including a position confirmation screen 64 on the display 5b as shown in Fig. 13. The position confirmation screen 64 displays a map 64b, a current location 64c, an error circle 64d, a next button 64e, and a back button 64f. When the back button 64f is pressed on the position confirmation screen 64, the position confirmation screen 64 disappears and transitions to an operation screen 50B (see Fig. 8) having a course selection button 51, an add course button 59, and an add button 59b.

[0097] Map 64b is a map showing the vicinity of the position of terminal 5 acquired by position acquisition unit 19b. Current location 64c is a display of the position of terminal 5 acquired by position acquisition unit 19b on map 64b. Error circle 64d is a semi-transparent circle showing the error range of the position of terminal 5 acquired by position acquisition unit 19b. The user can check the current position of terminal 5 on this position confirmation screen 64.

[0098] When the Next button 64e is pressed, the display unit 11 displays the operation screen 50C including the course setting menu 61 on the display 5b as shown in Fig. 10. The details of the automatic course can also be set in the same way as the five additional courses described above. That is, as described above, the course setting menu 61 allows the user to set the set treatment time, repetition setting, and heat level of the automatic course.

[0099] In the course setting menu 61, when the set treatment time, repetition setting, or heat level setting of the automatic course is determined and then the save button 61f is pressed, the setting of the automatic course is completed. The state in which the automatic course setting is completed by such a procedure may be referred to as "automatic course is set." When the automatic course is set, the electrotherapy system 10 executes the automatic course for the determined set treatment time.

[0100] When the electrotherapy system 10 is set to the automatic course, the course to be performed at the set treatment time is determined for each set treatment time by the application 19. For example, if the next set treatment time is from 9:00 p.m. on April 1 to 7:00 a.m. on April 2, and the minimum temperature forecast for April 2 provided by the weather information API at 3:00 p.m. on April 1 is 12° C., the winter course will be performed at that set treatment time. Through such operations of the electrotherapy system 10, a course corresponding to the minimum temperature of each day is performed.

[0101] For example, if the application 19 is installed in the terminal 5, the automatic course can be added as a new function without changing the configuration of the electric treatment device 1. In this embodiment, it is possible to set multiple courses, multiple heat levels, and multiple types of set treatment times as long as the set treatment times do not overlap. For example, Monday and Tuesday may be set to a custom repeat setting of the deep sleep course (heat level = 2), Wednesday may be set to a one-time execution setting of the balance course (heat level = 3), Thursday and Friday may be set to a custom repeat setting of the automatic course (heat level = 1), and Saturday and Sunday may be set to a weekend setting of the recovery course light (heat level = 4). In addition, the set course can be saved, and it is possible to switch between executing the set course and not executing it.

[0102] The controller 20 will be described. As shown in Fig. 3, the controller 20 has a communication unit 23 capable of communicating with the terminal 5, and a treatment device control unit 24 that controls the treatment device 3. An operation performed on the terminal 5 is transmitted to the controller 20 as an operation signal, and the communication unit 23 receives the operation signal. The treatment device control unit 24 controls the treatment device 3 based on the operation signal received by the communication unit 23. The communication unit 19a of the terminal 5 and the communication unit 23 of the controller 20 have a function of performing wireless communication, for example, by WiFi or Bluetooth.

[0103] FIG. 14 is a plan view showing an example of the controller 20. The controller 20 has an operation screen 22. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 14, the controller 20 includes a main body 25 having the operation screen 22, and a fixing member 26 that fixes the main body 25 to the bedding 2. For example, the main body 25 is detachable from the fixing member 26. In this case, the main body 25 can be attached to and detached from the fixing member 26 by turning the operation screen 22 upside down. However, the main body 25 may be integral with the fixing member 26 (non-detachable). The fixing member 26 is fixed to the bedding 2. The main body 25 has, for example, a circular shape in a plan view. The fixing member 26 extends in an arc shape along the outer periphery of the main body 25.

[0104] As described above, since the main body 25 is circular and the fixing member 26 is arc-shaped, the controller 20 can be efficiently arranged in the limited space of the bedding 2. For example, the upper surface 25b of the main body 25 and the upper surface 26b of the fixing member 26 are both flat and do not have any protruding parts. In this case, even if a user lying on the bedding 2 touches the controller 20, the controller 20 can be prevented from interfering with the user's sleeping comfort.

[0105] The operation screen 22 is provided on the upper surface 25b of the main body 25, and, for example, lights up a plurality of buttons 27 using lamps. When at least one of the plurality of buttons 27 and a button on the operation screen 50 displayed on the terminal 5 is pressed, the treatment device control section 24 controls the treatment device 3, and the electric treatment device 1 is operated.

[0106] For example, the types of the multiple buttons 27 may be the same as the types of buttons on the operation screen 50 displayed on the terminal 5. In this case, the user can perform the same operations on the operation screen 50 of the terminal 5 as on the operation screen 22 of the controller 20. The multiple buttons 27 display, for example, a course selection button 28, a temperature setting button 29, a power button 30, a body part selection button 31, a quick heating selection button 32, and a time setting button 33. The course selection button 28 includes, for example, a heat button 28b, an alternating button 28c, a potential button 28d, and a season selection button 28f. The season selection button 28f includes a winter button 28g, a spring / autumn button 28h, and a summer button 28j.

[0107] For example, the notification unit 14 displays on the controller 20 that a certain period of time has passed since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1. For example, the notification unit 14 lights up a lamp on the operation screen 22 when a certain period of time (e.g., 14,600 hours) has passed since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1.

[0108] As a specific example, operation screen 22 has auto display lamp 34 and manual display lamp 35, and notification unit 14 alternately lights up auto display lamp 34 and manual display lamp 35 when a certain period of time has passed since the start of use of electrotherapy device 1. By notification unit 14 lighting the lamps in this way, it is possible to encourage the user to perform maintenance on electrotherapy device 1 and to replace it.

[0109] When the notification unit 14 lights up the lamp on the operation screen 22 as described above, the user can turn off the lamp. For example, the user turns off the lamp by pressing and holding any of the buttons 27 for a certain period of time. As an example, the user turns off the lamp by pressing and holding both the winter button 28g and the heat button 28b for five seconds.

[0110] The above describes an example in which the auto indicator lamp 34 and the manual indicator lamp 35 are alternately lit when a certain period of time has passed since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1, and an example in which the lighting is cancelled by pressing and holding both the winter button 28g and the heat button 28b for 5 seconds. However, the type of lamp that is turned on when a certain period of time has passed since the start of use of the electric treatment device 1 and the method of cancelling the lighting are not limited to the above examples and can be changed as appropriate.

[0111] On the operation screen 22, for example, the heat button 28b, the alternating button 28c, the potential button 28d, and the season selection button 28f are arranged to form a rectangle. The heat button 28b, the alternating button 28c, the potential button 28d, and the season selection button 28f each have a circular shape. When the course selection button 28 is pressed on the operation screen 22 by the user, the course setting unit 16 sets the course in the same manner as when the course selection button 51 is pressed.

[0112] The temperature setting button 29 has the same function as the above-mentioned temperature setting button 53. That is, the temperature setting button 29 can adjust the set temperature of the electric treatment device 1. The temperature setting button 29 includes, for example, a temperature increase button 29b and a temperature decrease button 29c, and the temperature increase button 29b and the temperature decrease button 29c are arranged vertically on the operation screen 22.

[0113] When the temperature increase button 29b is pressed, the set temperature of the electric treatment device 1 increases, and when the temperature decrease button 29c is pressed, the set temperature of the electric treatment device 1 decreases. As an example, the temperature increase button 29b has a triangular shape, and the temperature decrease button 29c has an inverted triangular shape. For example, the temperature increase button 29b and the temperature decrease button 29c are disposed at positions sandwiching the center 22b of the operation screen 22. In this case, the center 22b of the operation screen 22 is located between the temperature increase button 29b and the temperature decrease button 29c.

[0114] The power button 30 is displayed, for example, above the temperature setting button 29. The function of the power button 30 is, for example, the same as that of the power button 54 described above. As an example, the power button 30 has a circular shape. The power button 30 turns the electric treatment device 1 on and off when pressed for a certain period of time or more. The body part selection button 31 is displayed, for example, below the center 22b of the operation screen 22. The body part selection button 31 includes a whole body button 31b and a foot button 31c, and, for example, the whole body button 31b and the foot button 31c are both rectangular in shape.

[0115] For example, the electrotherapy device 1 lights up a connection indicator lamp 36 on the operation screen 22 when the terminal 5 communicates with the controller 20 (for example, when the terminal 5 is running an application 19). As one example, the connection indicator lamp 36 lights up above the body part selection button 31. By visually checking whether the connection indicator lamp 36 is on, the user can know whether the terminal 5 is communicating with the controller 20.

[0116] The fast-heat selection button 32 is displayed, for example, to the right of the course selection button 28 (alternate button 28c). As an example, the fast-heat selection button 32 has a rectangular shape. The time setting button 33 is displayed to the left of the course selection button 28 (spring / autumn button 28h). The fast-heat selection button 32 and the time setting button 33 have, for example, a rectangular shape.

[0117] The time setting button 33 is a part that displays the time to be set, similar to the above-mentioned time setting button 57. For example, the electrotherapy device 1 displays the time set by the time setting button 33 on the time display lamps 38. The time display lamps 38 include four types of lamps, 1h, 6h, 8h, and 10h, and display the time set by the time setting button 33.

[0118] For example, each time the time setting button 33 is pressed, the 1h, 6h, 8h, and 10h lamps of the time display lamp 38 are alternately lit. When the time display lamp 38 is lit at 1h, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 1 hour, and when the time display lamp 38 is lit at 6h, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 6 hours. When the time display lamp 38 is lit at 8h, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 8 hours, and when the time display lamp 38 is lit at 10h, the timer setting unit 17 sets the operation time of the electric treatment device 1 to 10 hours.

[0119] As described above, when the operating time of the electrotherapy device 1 is set to 10 hours, the electrotherapy device 1 performs treatment for 8 hours and then performs warming for 2 hours. For example, the electrotherapy device 1 turns on the warming lamp 39 on the operation screen 22 while performing warming. The user can know whether the electrotherapy device 1 is performing warming by checking whether the warming lamp 39 is on.

[0120] For example, the course selection button 28 further includes a drying button 28k. When the drying button 28k is pressed, the drying unit 18 heats the treatment device 3 to reduce the humidity of the bedding 2. As an example, the drying button 28k is displayed to the right of the potential button 28d. For example, the drying button 28k has a rectangular shape. As described above, the drying unit 18 may heat the treatment device 3 when the drying button 28k is pressed and held for a certain period of time or longer.

[0121] The operation screen 22 has, for example, a temperature display section 40 that displays the temperature set by the temperature setting button 29. As an example, the temperature display section 40 includes a low display section 41, a medium display section 42, a high display section 43, and a plurality of general display sections 44. For example, the medium display section 42 lights up when the temperature set by the temperature setting button 29 is an intermediate value, the low display section 41 lights up when the temperature set by the temperature setting button 29 is lower than the intermediate value, and the high display section 43 lights up when the temperature set by the temperature setting button 29 is higher than the intermediate value.

[0122] As described above, nine temperature levels may be set by the temperature setting button 29. The low display section 41, the middle display section 42, the high display section 43 and the general display section 44 may be arranged to form an arc. For example, the low display section 41 may be arranged to the lower left of the temperature increase button 29b, the high display section 43 may be arranged to the lower right of the temperature increase button 29b, and the middle display section 42 may be arranged above the temperature increase button 29b, and multiple general display sections 44 may be arranged between the low display section 41 and the middle display section 42 and between the middle display section 42 and the high display section 43 to form an arc.

[0123] For example, only the low display section 41 lights up when the lowest temperature, the first step, is set by the temperature setting button 29. For example, the temperature is increased by one step by pressing the temperature increase button 29b, and the temperature is decreased by one step by pressing the temperature decrease button 29c.

[0124] When the second stage temperature, the second lowest, is set by the temperature setting button 29, the low display section 41 and the bottommost general display section 44 adjacent to the low display section 41 light up, and when the third stage temperature is set by the temperature setting button 29, the low display section 41 and the second general display section 44 from the bottom on the left light up. When the fourth stage temperature is set by the temperature setting button 29, the low display section 41 and the third general display section 44 from the bottom on the left light up.

[0125] When the fifth temperature level is set by the temperature setting button 29, the middle display section 42 lights up. When the sixth temperature level is set by the temperature setting button 29, the high display section 43 and the third general display section 44 from the bottom on the right side light up, and when the seventh temperature level is set by the temperature setting button 29, the high display section 43 and the second general display section 44 from the bottom light up.

[0126] When the eighth temperature level is set by the temperature setting button 29, the high display section 43 and the general display section 44 at the bottom adjacent to the high display section 43 light up, and when the ninth temperature level (highest temperature) is set by the temperature setting button 29, only the high display section 43 lights up. Above, examples of temperature setting by the temperature setting button 29 and temperature display by the temperature display section 40 have been described. However, the manner of temperature setting by the temperature setting button 29 and the manner of temperature display by the temperature display section 40 are not limited to the above-mentioned examples and can be changed as appropriate.

[0127] For example, the main body 25 of the controller 20 has a disk shape. The main body 25 has an upper surface 25b and a side surface 25c. Furthermore, the main body 25 has a power cord socket 25d, and a power cord C is connected to the power cord socket 25d. The power cord C has an electric plug C1 that is connected to a household outlet, a cord body C2 having the electric plug C1 at an end thereof, and a power connector C3 that is located at the end of the cord body C2 opposite to the electric plug C1.

[0128] With the electric plug C1 connected to a household outlet and the power connector C3 inserted into the power cord socket 25d, power is supplied to the controller 20. The power cord socket 25d is formed, for example, on a side surface 25c of the main body 25. The side surface 25c includes an exposed portion 25f exposed to the outside and a non-exposed portion 25g facing the fixing member 26, and the power cord socket 25d is formed in the exposed portion 25f. As an example, the power cord socket 25d is formed in the center of the exposed portion 25f in the circumferential direction D3 of the controller 20.

[0129] Next, an example of steps executed by the electrical treatment program according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in Fig. 15. The electrical treatment program according to this embodiment is executed by the processor of the terminal 5 operating according to instructions from the application 19. First, the application 19 installed on the terminal 5 is started up, with power being made available to the controller 20 via the power cord C (step of starting up the application, step S1).

[0130] After the application 19 is started, the user of the electrical treatment program operates the terminal 5 to set a course. The application 19 then determines whether a course has already been set and whether the set course is an automatic course (first electrical treatment course) (step S2 of determining whether the course is set to the first electrical treatment course). As described above, "set to the automatic course" refers to a state in which the set treatment time for the automatic course has been reserved.

[0131] When the application 19 determines that the set course is the automatic course (YES in step S2), the position acquisition unit 19b acquires the position of the terminal 5 (step of acquiring the position of the terminal, step S3 (position acquisition step)).

[0132] After the position of the terminal 5 is acquired, the weather information acquisition unit 19c acquires weather information for the area including the position of the terminal 5 (a step of acquiring weather information for the area, step S4 (weather information acquisition step)).

[0133] In this embodiment, the automatic course includes the above-mentioned summer course, spring / autumn course, and winter course. After the weather information of the area including the location of the terminal 5 is acquired in step S4, the application 19 determines the course to be performed by the electric treatment device 1 according to the weather information (course determining step, step S5). At this time, the application 19 determines which course to execute from the summer course, spring / autumn course, and winter course according to the acquired minimum temperature, for example, and causes the electric treatment device 1 to execute the determined course (treatment device control step).

[0134] That is, after the above-mentioned course is determined, the application 19 causes the electric treatment device 1 to perform the thermal treatment and the electric potential treatment in accordance with the time allocation of the determined course (step of executing the course, step S8). Then, after the determined course is performed for the set treatment time, a series of steps is completed.

[0135] In step S2, if the application 19 determines that a course has not yet been set (NO in step S2), the application 19 accepts a course selection by the user (step of the user selecting a course, step S6).

[0136] When course selection is being accepted, one of multiple courses is selected by the user, and after the course is selected, application 19 determines whether the selected course is an automatic course (step S7 for determining the selected course).

[0137] If the course selected by the user in step S7 is the automatic course (YES in step S7), the process proceeds to step S3, where the position of the terminal 5 as described above is obtained, weather information is obtained, and the course is determined, after which treatment is performed and the series of steps is completed.

[0138] If the course selected by the user in step S7 is not the automatic course (first electric treatment course) (NO in step S7), the application 19 causes the electric treatment device 1 to perform the course selected by the user (second electric treatment course) (step of executing the course, step S8). Then, after the selected course is performed for the set treatment time, a series of steps is completed.

[0139] Next, a description will be given of the action and effect obtained from the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system 10, and the electric treatment device 1 according to this embodiment. The electric treatment program and the electric treatment system 10 acquire the position of the terminal 5, and acquire weather information for the area including the acquired position of the terminal 5. Furthermore, the time of the thermal treatment to be performed by the electric treatment device 1 is determined according to the acquired weather information.

[0140] Even in the same season, there may be cold days and hot days. For example, if the course of electrical treatment is uniformly determined for each season, the time of thermal treatment may be insufficient on cold days, or too long on hot days. In this electrical treatment program and electrical treatment system 10, the time of thermal treatment is determined according to the weather information of the area where the terminal 5 is located, and the time of thermal treatment can be set to an appropriate time according to the weather information, so that electrical treatment can be performed appropriately according to the daily changing environment. Furthermore, since the time of thermal treatment is automatically determined according to the weather information of the area where the terminal 5 is located, it is not necessary to determine the time of electrical treatment each time. Therefore, the electrical treatment program and electrical treatment system 10 can be made highly convenient.

[0141] In the electrical therapy program according to the present disclosure, the weather information may include the minimum temperature of the region, and in the treatment device control step (steps S5 and S6), the time of the thermal therapy may be determined according to the minimum temperature of the region. In this case, the time of the thermal therapy is determined according to the minimum temperature of the region in which the terminal 5 is located, and the time of the thermal therapy can be set to an appropriate time according to the minimum temperature. For example, when the minimum temperature is low, it is possible to set the time of the thermal therapy longer than when the minimum temperature is high. Therefore, by determining the time of the thermal therapy according to the minimum temperature of the region, it is possible to prevent the thermal therapy from being over or underperformed due to fluctuations in the minimum temperature.

[0142] The electric treatment program according to the present embodiment includes a first electric treatment course (automatic course) that executes a position acquisition step (step S3), a weather information acquisition step (step S4), and a treatment device control step (steps S5 and S6), and a second electric treatment course (a course other than the automatic course) that executes the electric potential treatment and the thermal treatment for a predetermined time, with the time of the electric potential treatment performed by the electric treatment device 1 and the time of the thermal treatment performed by the electric treatment device 1 being predetermined. The first electric treatment course and the second electric treatment course are selectable by the user who uses the electric treatment program. The electric treatment program according to the present embodiment includes a step of accepting a selection operation of the first electric treatment course and the second electric treatment course by the user (step S6), and a step of executing either the first electric treatment course or the second electric treatment course selected by the user (step S8).

[0143] In this case, the user can select either a first electric treatment course in which the content of the electric treatment is automatically determined according to the weather information of the area where the terminal 5 is located, or a second electric treatment course in which the user can arbitrarily determine the content of the electric treatment. This allows the user to determine the content of the electric treatment according to the physical condition and mood of the day, making it possible to provide an electric treatment program with improved convenience.

[0144] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first electric treatment course includes a plurality of preset courses (summer course, spring / autumn course, and winter course), and the time of the thermal treatment is determined by determining which of the plurality of courses to execute in the first electric treatment course. In this case, the time of the thermal treatment is determined by the selection of the course, so that the time of the thermal treatment can be easily determined.

[0145] Next, an electric treatment device 1A according to a modified example will be described. Fig. 16 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of an electric treatment device 1A according to a modified example. This modified example differs from the above-described electric treatment device 1 in that the electric treatment device 1A has a position acquisition means 101 and a weather information acquisition means 102, instead of a terminal 5. A portion of the configuration of the electric treatment device 1A is the same as a portion of the configuration of the above-described electric treatment device 1. Therefore, in the following description, descriptions that overlap with the description of the electric treatment device 1 will be omitted as appropriate.

[0146] The position acquisition means 101 acquires the position of the electric treatment device 1A, not the position of the terminal 5. In a modified example, the "position" is information including the latitude and longitude of the location where the electric treatment device 1A is located. As a method for the position acquisition means 101 to acquire the position of the electric treatment device 1A, for example, a GPS that measures position information using a satellite network can be mentioned.

[0147] The weather information acquiring means 102 acquires weather information for an area including the position acquired by the position acquiring means 101. The "area" is, for example, an area in units of a prefecture or a city, ward, town, or village including the position acquired by the position acquiring means 101. If the area including the position acquired by the position acquiring means 101 is an area that is not registered in the weather information API, the weather information acquiring means 102 acquires weather information for the registered area that is closest to the position acquired by the position acquiring means 101.

[0148] The electric treatment device 1A performs at least a thermal treatment. The electric treatment device 1A includes bedding 2, a position acquisition means 101 for acquiring the position of the electric treatment device 1A, a weather information acquisition means 102 for acquiring weather information (e.g., the minimum temperature) of the area including the position, and a treatment device control means 103 for executing the thermal treatment. The treatment device control means 103, like the above-mentioned treatment device control unit 24, determines the time of the thermal treatment to be performed according to the weather information, and performs the thermal treatment for the determined time.

[0149] According to this electric treatment device 1A, the time of the thermotherapy to be performed is determined according to the weather information (for example, the minimum temperature) of the area including the acquired position, as in the above-mentioned electric treatment device 1. Therefore, the electric treatment device 1A can obtain the same action and effect as the electric treatment device 1. Furthermore, the electric treatment device 1A has a position acquisition means 101 that acquires the position of the electric treatment device 1A, a weather information acquisition means 102 that acquires the weather information of the area including the position acquired by the position acquisition means 101, and a treatment device control means 103. Then, the treatment device control means 103 performs the thermotherapy for the time determined according to the weather information of the area including the position of the electric treatment device 1A. Therefore, even without a terminal such as the above-mentioned terminal 5, the time of the thermotherapy can be set according to the weather information, and the time of the thermotherapy can be set appropriately without being affected by weather changes, so that the electric treatment can be performed according to the weather of the area where the electric treatment device 1A is located.

[0150] The above describes the embodiments and modifications of the electric treatment program, electric treatment system, and electric treatment device according to the present disclosure. However, the electric treatment program, electric treatment system, and electric treatment device according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments or modifications, and may be modified or applied to other things within the scope of the claims. That is, the order and arrangement of each step of the electric treatment program, or the shape, size, number, material, and arrangement of each part of the electric treatment system and electric treatment device can be appropriately changed within the scope of the above-mentioned gist.

[0151] For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example was described in which the first electric treatment course includes a plurality of preset courses (a summer course, a spring / autumn course, and a winter course), and the time of the thermal treatment is determined by determining which of the plurality of courses to execute in the first electric treatment course. However, the time of the thermal treatment may be determined by a method other than determining the course. For example, the time of the thermal treatment may be determined each time according to the temperature (the minimum temperature as one example) of the area where the terminal 5 is located. In this case, the time of the thermal treatment is determined each time according to the temperature of the area where the terminal 5 is located, so that the time of the thermal treatment can be determined with higher accuracy.

[0152] For example, in the above-described embodiment, an electrotherapy system 10 capable of performing treatment, heat retention, and drying on the terminal 5 has been described. However, the electrotherapy program, electrotherapy system, or electrotherapy device according to the present disclosure may not perform at least one of heat retention and drying.

[0153] For example, the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device may output a sound that encourages the user to fall asleep when the operation of the electric treatment device (treatment as an example) starts. In this case, a comfortable sleep can be provided to the user of the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device when treatment by the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device starts. The speaker that outputs the sound may be provided in the controller 20, for example, or in the terminal 5, and the location of the speaker is not particularly limited.

[0154] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the electrotherapy device 1 is operated by operating the operation screen 50 displayed on the display 5b of the terminal 5. However, any one of the electrotherapy program, the electrotherapy system, and the electrotherapy device may have a voice operation function, and the electrotherapy program, the electrotherapy system, and the electrotherapy device may be operated by voice. In this case, it is possible to operate the electrotherapy program, the electrotherapy system, and the electrotherapy device by voice.

[0155] Furthermore, the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device may be linked to other electric devices. For example, the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device may be linked to a lighting device, and may operate according to the brightness of the light from the lighting device (for example, when it gets dark). The electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device may be linked to an air conditioner, and the set temperature of the electric treatment device may automatically change according to the temperature set in the air conditioner.

[0156] Either the electric treatment system or the electric treatment device may be equipped with a thermometer, and the set temperature of the electric treatment device may be automatically changed according to the temperature measured by the thermometer. In this case, it is possible to automatically control, for example, to heat the treatment device 3 at a higher temperature in the cold season of winter, or to lower the temperature of the treatment device 3 in the hot season of summer. The electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device may be linked to a body movement sensor that detects the body movement of the user lying on the bedding. In this case, for example, when the user's sleep becomes deeper and he or she turns over less, it is possible to automatically control, for example, to lower the set temperature of the electric treatment device or to turn off the electric treatment device.

[0157] In the above-described embodiment, an electric treatment program, an electric treatment system 10, and an electric treatment device 1 that perform both heat treatment and electric potential treatment have been described. However, the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device according to the present disclosure may perform only heat treatment, may perform only electric potential treatment, or may perform treatment other than heat treatment or electric potential treatment.

[0158] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the electric treatment device 1 and the electric treatment device 1 are described, which are equipped with bedding 2, which is a mattress. However, in the electric treatment program and the electric treatment system according to the present disclosure, the electric treatment device may be equipped with bedding other than a mattress. For example, the electric treatment device may be an apparatus equipped with a quilt, a pillow, a cushion, or a cushion. In this way, the electric treatment program, the electric treatment system, and the electric treatment device according to the present disclosure can be applied to various types of bedding.
