Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a massage system and a massage control method, and more specifically, to an intelligent massage system and an intelligent massage control method. Prior Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent No. 113143749B discloses an acupoint massage device and its massage control method. The device includes at least one master device and at least one slave device. The master device includes an acupoint carrier marked with multiple acupoint identifiers, a pressure sensing module, a first processing module, and a first communication module. The pressure sensing module collects acupoint pressure data generated when a user presses on the acupoint identifiers. The first processing module performs signal conversion and data analysis on the acupoint pressure data to obtain a data packet. The first communication module transmits the data packet to the slave device corresponding to the pressure position information. The slave device parses the pressure intensity information from the data packet and controls the acupoint actuator in the slave device to perform acupoint massage based on the pressure intensity information. This method, where the master device controls the slave device to achieve massage control, not only realizes single-point control of acupoints but also improves the interactivity of the acupoint massager and the user experience.

[0003] The technical field of the previous case is similar to that of this case. The patent includes a master device and a slave device. The master device includes an acupoint carrier with acupoint markings, a pressure sensing module, a first processing module, and a communication module. The pressure sensing module collects pressure data when acupoints are pressed and performs signal processing, and transmits the generated data packets to the corresponding slave device. After receiving the data packets, the slave device parses the pressure information and controls the actuator to achieve precise massage of specific acupoints. The device operates in collaboration between the master and slave devices, which not only supports single-point control of acupoints, but also enhances the interactivity of massage and the user experience.

[0004] Existing U.S. Patent No. 20240341874A1 discloses a system, method, and apparatus for a robotic system that autonomously treats or manipulates a body with soft and / or hard tissue. A system, method, and apparatus for a robotic control system with fused sensing flow are provided, for predicting deformation models of the robotic end effector and the tissue it contacts using, for example, finite element analysis (FEA). The model update provides adjustment parameters to the control system to compensate for changes in the mechanical properties of the robotic end effector and the characteristics and / or motion of the tissue handled by the robotic end effector.

[0005] The technical field of the previous case is similar to that of this case. The patent includes a robot manipulator and a processor controller. By fusing sensing data, it predicts the deformation of the manipulator or the deformable body it contacts, and generates adjustment parameters based on the deformation results to compensate for changes in mechanical properties or tissue characteristics. This enables the robot manipulator to perform precise motion control based on the adjustment parameters for autonomous processing or treatment of soft or hard tissues.

[0006] Chinese Patent No. 106821718A discloses a fully intelligent scanning massage method and robot for promoting blood circulation and relieving stagnation. The massage device scans and detects the user's body to obtain acupoint information, determines massage points based on this information, and then performs massage accordingly. This fully intelligent scanning massage robot effectively massages, kneads, squeezes, vibrates, taps, applies heat and magnetic stimulation, and uses red light to stimulate all acupoints, meridians, and blood vessels throughout the body. This can adjust the meridians and internal organs, unblock acupoints, promote blood flow, lymphatic circulation, and metabolism, regulate endocrine function, enhance immunity, adjust the nervous system, and reverse aging, among other things. It has significant preventative and therapeutic functions and effects on many human diseases and symptoms.

[0007] The technical field of the previous case is similar to that of this case. This patent obtains the acupoint information of the massager through a human body detection scanning device, and the intelligent control system determines the massage points according to the acupoint information. Then, the execution mechanism and drive system control the robotic arm to massage the designated acupoints. The device integrates multiple massage functions, including massage, vibration, hot kneading, magnetic therapy and red light irradiation, which can promote blood circulation, regulate endocrine, and enhance immunity, and has the effects of health care and disease prevention.

[0008] Chinese Patent No. 110347449B discloses a method and system for optimizing recommended massage programs for a smart massage chair. The steps include: 1) collecting user personal information; 2) obtaining an initial massage recommendation combination based on the personal information, which includes a combination of techniques and adjustable parameters; 3) calculating a correction amount based on historical evaluation data, and adjusting the adjustable parameters based on the correction amount to obtain the final massage recommendation combination; 4) the massage device executing the final massage recommendation combination; and 5) collecting user evaluation data and storing it in historical evaluation data. This invention achieves a closed loop of massage program, user feedback, and analysis optimization, thereby continuously improving the recommendation logic and bringing a better massage experience.

[0009] The technical field of the previous case 4 is different from that of this case. This patent generates an initial massage recommendation combination (including a combination of techniques and adjustable parameters) by collecting users' personal information (such as pain index, blood oxygen, heart rate, etc.), and calculates the correction amount based on historical evaluation data to optimize the adjustable parameters. After forming the final recommendation combination, it is executed by the massage device. At the same time, user feedback data is stored in the historical evaluation data to realize the closed-loop optimization of the massage program and user feedback, thereby improving the massage experience.

[0010] The existing Republic of China Patent No. I856922B discloses a massage teaching system and its operating mechanism. It is based on the relationship between the hardness of the massage recipient's muscle tissue and the massager's massage force, and constructs a systematic system that allows the massager to confirm the hardness of the massage recipient's muscle tissue, and implement a specific massage force and related massage procedures accordingly. The present invention establishes a feedback discrimination benchmark for muscle tissue and a means of adjusting massage force, and systematically completes a massage palpation system. By measuring the resistance changes between the massager's massage force and muscle hardness, palpation is performed to grasp the appropriate massage force. By quantifying the muscle hardness data, the massager has a benchmark force value, and then adjusts the massage force accordingly.

[0011] The technical field of the previous case is similar to that of this case. This patent is based on the interaction between the muscle hardness of the person being massaged and the force of the masseur. It quantifies muscle hardness data through sensors and establishes a muscle hardness feedback benchmark and force adjustment mechanism. The system includes functions such as teaching pressure positioning, teaching resistance adjustment palpation, and teaching massage implementation. It judges the massage effect through changes in resistance data and provides a benchmark force value to guide the masseur to adjust the pressure, thus realizing a systematic and precise massage teaching process.

The massage plan generation and execution unit 330 integrates hardware adaptation functions to select the most suitable execution device (such as a robotic arm or a bionic robot) to ensure the feasibility and accuracy of the plan. As shown in step 540, a massage technique and process plan is implemented: the massage plan generation and execution unit 330 in the massage technique and process plan building module 300 provides the generated massage process plan to the operating end or automated equipment for execution (such as a robotic arm or a bionic robot), ensuring accurate operation during implementation and providing the massaged person with the optimal massage experience. As shown in step 550, the massage technique and process plan is corrected based on a whole-body detection technology and the massaged person's feedback: the whole-body detection unit 410 in the massage optimization and real-time adjustment module 400 monitors the physiological parameters, posture changes, and feedback data of the massaged person in real time during the massage process. Combined with the AI ​​massage therapist system and the real-time adjustment unit 420, the massage technique and process plan is dynamically optimized and updated to ensure that subsequent massage operations better meet the needs of the massaged person.

[0087] This invention may also have other features and applications:

[0088] I. Massage Management Application

[0089] The AI ​​massage therapist system and real-time adjustment unit 420 in the massage optimization and real-time adjustment module 400 of the present invention can extend to provide regular massage management services for specific groups (such as the elderly or patients). By connecting the various units and systems in the massage optimization and real-time adjustment module 400, the following service provision methods can be extended: (1) Regular massage and effect tracking: Based on the whole-body detection unit 410, the effect of each massage is recorded in detail to provide data support for long-term tracking; (2) Combined with external assistance: The massage plan is modified by combining the "artificial intelligence dynamic adjustment system" with exercise therapy; (3) Timed robot massage: Combined with the "equipment control and safety dynamic adjustment system", the automated equipment can be automatically triggered to perform massage to realize regular service.

[0090] II. Devices that do not restrict the reproduction of massage techniques

[0091] The massage scheme generation and execution unit 330 in the massage technique and process scheme construction module 300 of the present invention is not limited to a specific device in terms of hardware adaptation. That is, it can be adapted to a variety of execution tools, including robotic arms, bionic robots and possible innovative devices in the future. This can ensure that when devices that can better reproduce massage techniques appear in the future, the devices used for updating the massage scheme can be updated.

[0092] III. Recreation of the Massage Area

[0093] The data collection unit 210 in the massage information recording module 200 of the present invention can record the environmental characteristics of the massage field, including the temperature and humidity of the environment, music, equipment, etc., and incorporate a massage plan that can completely reproduce the massage scene at that time into the massage plan generation and execution unit 330 in the massage technique and process plan construction module 300 of the present invention.

[0094] IV. Implementation Methods When There is No Specific Massage Information for the Massage Recipient

[0095] The AI ​​massage algorithm unit 320 in the massage technique and process scheme construction module 300 of the present invention can dynamically generate a massage scheme based on the following data even without specific massage information of the massage recipient: (1) historical data: including previous massage records of the massage recipient (such as pressure distribution, force direction, massage location and time), satisfaction evaluation and related health data (such as age and health status); (2) detection data: general model data obtained through the whole body detection unit, including force parameters, movement patterns and environmental conditions analyzed by multiple sensing devices.

[0096] Based on the above data, dynamic analysis and optimization are used to generate universally adaptable massage techniques and procedures, ensuring that a massage plan tailored to the individual client can still be generated even without specific information about each client.

[0097] In summary, compared with the prior art and previous works, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0098] 1. Precise reproduction of massage techniques and 24-hour availability: Traditional massage chairs can only massage specific areas, and the techniques and effects cannot be flexibly adjusted. The data collection unit 210 in the massage information recording module 200 of this invention acquires the force of the bionic robot and robotic arm, and then the massage scheme generation and execution unit 330 in the massage technique and process scheme construction module 300 reproduces the massage therapist's techniques. Moreover, devices such as robots and robotic arms do not require rest and can operate 24 hours a day, achieving the effect of massage at any time around the clock.

[0099] 2. Upgraded Integration of Pressure and Tension Sensing: As in the previous example, the existing device only has a pressure sensor and cannot identify or process tension, making push-pull movements difficult to achieve. The data collection unit 210 in the massage information recording module 200 of this invention adds a tension sensor to the palm of the massage recipient and integrates visual recognition technology, which can accurately distinguish between pressure and tension. After recording through OTRS (Motion, Time and Work Analysis Tool), the images can be manually labeled, or automatically labeled through AI recognition, to achieve more precise push-pull massage movements.

[0100] 3. Expanding the adaptability of massage postures and movements: As in Case 2, some existing devices only support light massage when lying down, and cannot realize diverse pushing and pulling movements, resulting in a single technique. The AI ​​massage algorithm unit 320 in the massage technique and process scheme construction module 300 of this invention, based on bionic robots and mechanical arms, supports various massage postures and intensity requirements, and can accurately realize everything from pushing and pulling to pressing, thereby improving the massage effect and flexibility.

[0101] 4. AI Massage Technology with Dynamic Learning and Weight Optimization: As mentioned in Case 4 above, existing equipment cannot adjust the massage process according to individual needs and changing circumstances, lacking specificity and intelligence. The AI ​​massage algorithm unit 320 in the massage technique and process scheme construction module 300 of this invention integrates LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) technology, which increases the weight of recent massage data, filters out data that does not need to be included, and flexibly adjusts the combination of massage techniques and weights to achieve the optimal massage effect.

[0102] 5. Precise identification of nerve and relaxation state through whole-body detection: Traditional devices, such as those in Case 5, only massage muscles, ignoring differences in nerve tension and overall relaxation levels. The whole-body detection unit 410 in the massage optimization and real-time adjustment module 400 of this invention directly transmits the detected data to the AI ​​system for processing, identifying the level of nerve tension in the massage recipient (such as sciatic nerve, cervical nerve), simultaneously analyzing the relaxation state, dynamically adjusting suitable massage techniques, and combining them with other techniques like massage to further enhance the effect, achieving a truly personalized and whole-body relaxation solution.

[0103] The embodiments described above are merely for illustrating the technical ideas and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the patent scope of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit disclosed in the present invention should still be covered within the patent scope of the present invention.
