Solution Overview
Problem
Existing low-frequency treatment devices lack user convenience as users must manually adjust output intensity in response to increasing body pain, which can be inconvenient and may not be timely.
Innovation Solution
A low-frequency treatment device that adjusts its intensity based on weather parameters such as atmospheric pressure or air temperature, automatically increasing or decreasing treatment intensity and providing notifications to users when conditions indicate potential pain increases or decreases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually adjusts the output intensity of the low-frequency treatment device, then the treatment can be adapted to body pain conditions, but the user convenience deteriorates because the user must actively monitor and adjust the device when pain increases
Solution Approach 1:
The low-frequency treatment device automatically adjusts its output intensity based on weather parameter changes without requiring user intervention. The device monitors atmospheric pressure or air temperature changes and autonomously modifies treatment intensity, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring the user to continuously monitor and adjust settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates a feedback mechanism where weather parameters (atmospheric pressure or air temperature) are continuously monitored, and this information is fed back to automatically control the output intensity of the low-frequency treatment. This closed-loop system ensures the treatment intensity responds dynamically to environmental changes that affect body pain.
2Speed
If the treatment intensity is manually adjusted by the user, then the treatment can respond to pain changes, but the response time deteriorates because manual adjustment is not timely
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs preliminary action by proactively detecting weather parameter changes (atmospheric pressure or air temperature) before the user experiences significant pain changes. The system automatically adjusts treatment intensity in advance based on environmental conditions, eliminating the delay associated with manual user adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual adjustment system with an automated electronic control system. Instead of requiring physical user interaction to adjust intensity, the device uses sensors and control circuits to automatically modify output based on weather parameters, substituting manual operation with electronic automation.
3Extent of automation
If the device automatically adjusts intensity based on weather parameters, then user convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional sensors and control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The weather parameter sensor serves multiple functions: it monitors atmospheric pressure or air temperature changes that affect body pain, provides input for automatic intensity control, and can trigger notifications to users. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and minimizes overall device complexity while achieving automatic adjustment capabilities.

AI summary
A low-frequency treatment device and a treatment system with enhanced user convenience. An acquisition unit acquires an atmospheric pressure of a position where the low-frequency treatment device is located (step S102), a determination unit determines whether the atmospheric pressure is less than a threshold (step S104), and a treatment portion increases an intensity of low frequency treatment if the atmospheric pressure is less than the threshold (step S108).
