The patch holding portion 31 is provided with a positioning projection 312. The patch 2 is positioned on the holder 3 by fitting the inner periphery of the window portion 23 provided in the patch 2 to the positioning projection 312. An interlock pin 33 is also provided at the center of the patch holding portion 31. When the patch 2 is mounted on the holder 3, the interlocking pin 33 is inserted into the through hole 2H.
Since the patch 2 is a consumable, the patch 2 is detachable from the body 4 at the time of replacement. In the present embodiment, the patch 2 is held by the holder 3 so as to be integrated with the same, and the body 4 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the patch 2 and the holder 3. The patch 2 is replaced together with the holder 3, but the holder 3 cannot be reused, either, if desired.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the main body portion 4 includes a case 4a having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as an exterior body. A guide engaging portion 5 (fig. 2) is formed between the housing 4a and the holder 3, and the main body portion 4 (housing 4a) is detachably attached to the holder 3. The guide engagement portion 5 includes a protrusion 51 (fig. 3) formed on the side surface 41 of the housing 4a and a groove 52 (fig. 3) formed on the wall portion 32 of the holder 3.
Referring to fig. 3, the groove portion 52 includes a vertical groove portion 521 and a horizontal groove portion 522. The vertical groove 521 is formed in the vertical direction and is open at the top. The transverse groove portion 522 is formed in the transverse direction and is open at both ends. When the main body 4 is mounted on the holder 3, both the protrusion 51 and the groove 52 approach in the direction facing each other and move into engagement. The body portion 4 can be detached from the holder 3 by rotating the body portion 4 relative to the holder 3 and releasing the engagement therebetween.
The body portion 4 supplies a low-frequency pulse current to the conductive layer 2a of the patch 2 in a state of being mounted on the holder 3.

< construction of terminal device 10 >
Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the terminal device 10. Referring to fig. 4, the terminal device 10 includes, as main components, a processor 152, a memory 154, an input device 156, a display 158, a wireless communication unit 160, a memory interface (I/F)164, a communication interface (I/F)166, a speaker 168, and a microphone 170.
The processor 152 is an arithmetic Processing Unit such as a typical CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (MultiProcessing Unit). The processor 152 functions as a control unit that reads out and executes a program stored in the memory 154 to control the operation of each unit of the terminal device 10. The processor 152 executes the program to realize each process (step) of the terminal device 10 described later.
The Memory 154 is implemented by a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read-only Memory), a flash Memory, or the like. The memory 154 stores a program executed by the processor 152 or data used by the processor 152, and the like.
The input device 156 receives an operation input to the terminal device 10. Typically, the input device 156 is implemented by a touch panel. The touch panel is provided on a display 158 having a function as a display unit, and is, for example, of a capacitance type. The touch panel detects a touch operation of an external object on the touch panel at predetermined time intervals, and inputs touch coordinates to the processor 152. However, the input device 156 may also include buttons or the like.
The wireless communication unit 160 is connected to a mobile communication network via a communication antenna 162 and transmits and receives signals for wireless communication. Thus, the terminal device 10 can communicate with another communication device via a mobile communication network such as LTE (Long Term Evolution).
The memory interface 164 reads data from an external storage medium 165. The processor 152 reads data stored in the storage medium 165 through the memory interface 164 and stores the data in the memory 154. The processor 152 reads data from the memory 154 and stores the data in an external storage medium 165 via the memory interface 164.
The storage medium 165 includes a nonvolatile storage medium that stores programs, such as a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), a BD (Blu-ray Disc), a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, and an SD (Secure Digital) memory card.
The communication interface (I/F)166 is a communication interface for exchanging various data between the terminal device 10 and the electric therapy apparatus 20, and is implemented by an adapter, a connector, or the like. As the communication method, for example, a wireless communication method based on BLE (registered trademark) low energy Bluetooth, wireless LAN, or the like is used.
The speaker 168 converts a voice signal supplied from the processor 152 into sound and outputs the sound to the outside of the terminal apparatus 10. The microphone 170 receives a voice input to the terminal apparatus 10, and supplies a voice signal corresponding to the voice input to the processor 152.
< summary of System operation >
The operation of the treatment system 1000 will be described in brief with reference to fig. 5 to 8. Each of the screens shown in fig. 5 to 8 is a screen displayed on the display 158 by starting an application program for electric therapy (hereinafter, simply referred to as "therapy application program") installed in the terminal device 10. Various kinds of image information are displayed on the display 158. The image information includes images of marks, text, graphics, and combinations thereof.
(setting of treatment content)
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen of treatment contents. Here, it is assumed that the terminal device 10 has completed pairing with the electric therapy apparatus 20 and established a wireless communication connection with the electric therapy apparatus 20. Further, it is assumed that the user attaches each patch 2 of the three electric therapy apparatuses 20A, 20B, and 20C to a desired treatment site.
Referring to fig. 5, a setting screen 510 displays a selection button 512 for selecting a TENS (transcutaneous electrical stimulation) mode and a selection button 514 for selecting an MCR (micro current) mode. Note that a character string 516 in fig. 5 is a character string image showing a setting screen of the treatment content of the apparatus X. For example, the electric treatment apparatuses 20A, 20B, and 20C are associated with a device X, Y, Z (see fig. 6 described later) on the treatment application screen. It should be noted that the user is unaware that the electrical treatment apparatus 20A, 20B, 20C is associated with the device X, Y, Z on the treatment application screen. Therefore, the user cannot grasp to which treatment site the device X corresponds to the patch 2 attached to the electric treatment apparatus 20.
Therefore, the terminal device 10 instructs the electric therapy apparatus 20A associated with the device X to vibrate the casing 4a by the vibrator, upon receiving the selection operation (click (tab) operation) of the character string 516. As a result, the housing 4a of the electric therapy apparatus 20A vibrates, and therefore, the user can grasp to which treatment site the patch 2 of the electric therapy apparatus 20A associated with the device X is attached. When the treatment site is a waist, the user may set the treatment content for the waist as the treatment content of the device X.
The TENS pattern is a pattern in which an electrical stimulus is applied to a sensory nerve to suppress or reduce pain. The MCR mode is a mode in which a weak current (micro current) flows through the body to stimulate a muscle, thereby repairing a cell. Typically, a weak current is a current to such an extent that does not cause muscle contraction, and is, for example, 50 μ A to 500 μ A. Here, assuming that the user selects the TENS mode, the terminal device 10 displays the setting screen 520 upon receiving selection of the mode selection button 512.
The setting screen 520 is a TENS mode session selection screen. Specifically, on the setting screen 520, a character string 526 indicating a setting screen of the TENS mode and treatment course selection buttons 523, 524, and 525 for selecting "press", "tap", and "rub" treatment courses are displayed. In the setting screen 520, a setting button 527 for setting the treatment time is displayed. Here, it is assumed that the user selects the treatment course "tap" and the treatment time is set to "10 minutes". In the following description, the treatment contents set to the mode "TENS", the treatment period "tap", and the treatment time "10 minutes" are referred to as treatment contents Ta. When the return button 528 is selected, the setting screen 510 is displayed.
Similarly, the treatment content is set for the other device Y, Z. For example, when the user selects the button 530 for setting the treatment content of another device, a pop-up menu for selecting a device to be set is displayed, and the text column "device Y" (or the text column "device Z") is selected from the pop-up menu. When the character string "device Y" is selected, a setting screen (the same screen as the setting screen 510) of the treatment content of the device Y is displayed. For example, assume that the treatment content of the device Y is set to the treatment content Tb (mode "TENS", course "kneading", treatment time "5 minutes"), and assume that the treatment content of the device Z is set to the treatment content Tc (mode "TENS", course "pressing", treatment time "30 minutes"). When the confirmation button 529 is selected to confirm the contents of the treatment, a confirmation screen 610 is displayed.
(confirmation of treatment content)
Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for confirming the contents of treatment. Referring to fig. 6, confirmation screen 610 includes: an object 612 including a text column "device X", an object 614 including a text column "device Y", an object 616 including a text column "device Z", an object 618 including treatment content Ta, an object 620 including treatment content Tb, an object 622 including treatment content Tc, a start button 624, and a reset button 626. The "object" is various image information for receiving an operation by a user, presenting any information to the user, or functioning to combine both.
The confirmation screen 610 shows that the treatment contents Ta to Tc are associated with the devices X to Z, respectively. Thus, the user can confirm the treatment contents corresponding to the devices X to Z. Further, the terminal device 10 instructs the electric therapy apparatus 20A associated with the device X to vibrate the housing 4a when receiving the click operation to the object 612. Similarly, the terminal device 10 vibrates the casing 4a of the electric therapy apparatus 20B associated with the device Y when receiving the click operation on the object 614, and vibrates the casing 4a of the electric therapy apparatus 20C associated with the device Z when receiving the click operation on the object 616. This allows the user to confirm again whether or not the desired treatment content is set in each treatment site.
Upon receiving the selection of the reset button 626, the terminal device 10 displays the setting screen 510. Upon receiving the selection of the start button 624, the terminal device 10 gives an instruction to start the treatment to the electric therapy apparatuses 20A to 20C associated with the devices X to Z. The following embodiments may be applied: by providing a start button for each of the apparatuses X to Z, a start instruction of treatment can be given to each of the electric treatment apparatuses 20.
Here, the user can also exchange the treatment content associated with a certain device with the treatment content associated with other devices.
Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining a manner of replacing the treatment content. For example, assume that the user wants to exchange the treatment content Tb associated with the device Y and the treatment content Tc associated with the device Z. Referring to fig. 7, for example, when the user long-presses the object 620 including the treatment content Tb and performs a slide operation in the right direction, the object 620 and the object 622 are exchanged. That is, the treatment content of the device Y and the treatment content of the device Z are exchanged.
Specifically, in the confirmation screen 610 of fig. 6, the therapy content before the exchange of the device Y is set as the therapy content Tb, whereas the therapy content after the exchange of the device Y is set as the therapy content Tc (that is, the therapy content before the exchange of the device Z). Similarly, the post-exchange treatment content of the device Z is set as the pre-exchange treatment content of the device Y (i.e., treatment content Tb). The method of exchanging the treatment contents is not limited to the above method, and other user interfaces may be used. For example, an exchange button for exchanging the treatment contents of the respective apparatuses may be displayed on the screen, and the treatment contents of the respective apparatuses may be exchanged by selecting the exchange button.
In this way, the terminal apparatus 10 can exchange the treatment contents corresponding to the device X (i.e., the electric therapy apparatus 20A) and the treatment contents corresponding to the device Y (i.e., the electric therapy apparatus 20B) in accordance with the user's instruction.
(operation in treatment)
Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen during treatment. Upon receiving selection of start button 624 of confirmation screen 610 shown in fig. 6, terminal device 10 displays in-treatment screen 710 shown in fig. 8. The object 718 adds a button 730 for increasing the stimulation level and a button 732 for decreasing the stimulation level to the object 618 of the confirmation screen 610 (see fig. 6). Similarly, object 720 has button 730 and button 732 added to object 620, and object 722 has button 730 and button 732 added to object 622. The user can select buttons 730, 732 to cause the stimulation level to change.
Upon receiving the selection of the stop button 740, the terminal device 10 gives an instruction to stop the treatment to all the electric therapy apparatuses 20A to 20C associated with the devices X to Z. The following embodiments may be applied: by providing a stop button for each of the devices X to Z, a stop instruction of the treatment can be given to each of the electric treatment apparatuses 20. The in-treatment screen 710 may also include an end button for giving an end instruction of treatment.
The terminal device 10 can instruct the electric therapy apparatuses 20A to 20C to vibrate the casing 4a by receiving a click operation to the objects 612 to 616 even during the treatment. This is particularly useful if the MCR mode is selected. Specifically, in the MCR mode, a weak current of such a degree that does not cause muscle contraction flows, and therefore, the intensity of the electrical stimulation felt by the user is very small, and it is difficult for the user to obtain a sense of being under treatment in the MCR mode. Therefore, the user can grasp that the treatment is being performed in the MCR mode by performing the click operation on the objects 612 to 616 to vibrate the housing 4a of the electric therapy apparatuses 20A to 20C.
< functional constitution >
Fig. 9 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the terminal device 10. Referring to the drawings, the terminal device 10 includes: the input unit 102, the display control unit 104, the vibration instruction unit 106, the treatment content setting unit 108, and the treatment instruction unit 110 are mainly configured. Each function of the terminal device 10 is realized by, for example, causing the processor 152 of each terminal device 10 to execute a program stored in the memory 154. A part or all of these functions may be implemented by hardware.
The input unit 102 receives an instruction input from a user via the input device 156. The input unit 102 outputs instruction input information from the user to the display control unit 104, the vibration instruction unit 106, and the treatment content setting unit 108.
The display control unit 104 causes the display 158 to display various information. Specifically, the display control unit 104 causes the display 158 to display the setting screens 510 and 520, the confirmation screen 610, the in-treatment screen 710, and the like. Specifically, the display control unit 104 causes the display 158 of the terminal device 10 to display image information (for example, a character string 516, an object 612, an object 614, an object 616, and the like) associated with each electric therapy apparatus 20.
The vibration instructing unit 106 instructs the electric therapy apparatus 20 associated with the image information selected by the user to vibrate the housing 4 a. Specifically, the vibration instructing unit 106 transmits control information for causing the electric therapy apparatus 20 to drive the vibrator to execute to the electric therapy apparatus 20. In one aspect, the vibration instructing unit 106 instructs the electric therapy apparatus 20 to vibrate the housing 4a based on the selection of the image information (for example, the objects 612 to 616) associated with the electric therapy apparatus 20 when the electric therapy apparatus 20 performs the therapy according to the corresponding therapy content.
The treatment content setting unit 108 sets the treatment content by each electric treatment device 20 in accordance with the instruction of the user who has received the notification of the vibration of the housing 4 a. The treatment contents comprise: treatment mode, treatment course and treatment time. In one aspect, the treatment content setting unit 108 exchanges the treatment content of each electric treatment apparatus 20 in accordance with the user's instruction. For example, the treatment content setting unit 108 exchanges the treatment content corresponding to the electric treatment apparatus 20B and the treatment content corresponding to the electric treatment apparatus 20C.
Specifically, when the image information (for example, the object 614) associated with a predetermined electric treatment apparatus (for example, the electric treatment apparatus 20B) among the electric treatment apparatuses 20A to 20C is associated with a predetermined treatment content (for example, the treatment content Tb indicated by the object 620), the treatment content setting unit 108 sets the predetermined treatment content as the treatment content by the predetermined electric treatment apparatus. For example, when the object 622 and the object 612 are associated with each other according to the instruction of the user, the therapy content Tc (mode "TENS", therapy period "press", therapy time "30 minutes") is set as the therapy content of the electric therapy apparatus 20A.
The treatment instructing unit 110 instructs each of the plurality of electric treatment apparatuses 20 to treat the user in accordance with the treatment content corresponding to the electric treatment apparatus 20. The treatment instructing unit 110 transmits control information for executing each treatment content to each electric treatment apparatus 20. The treatment instructing unit 110 transmits various kinds of control information to the electric treatment apparatuses 20 in accordance with various kinds of instructions from the user (for example, an instruction to change the stimulation level, an instruction to stop the treatment, and the like).
When the contents of the first electric therapy apparatus (for example, the electric therapy apparatus 20A) and the second electric therapy apparatus (for example, the electric therapy apparatus 20B) are exchanged, the therapy instructing unit 110 instructs the first and second electric therapy apparatuses to treat the user in accordance with the exchanged contents of the therapy.
< treatment Process >
Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure of the terminal device 10. The steps shown in fig. 10 are mainly realized by causing the processor 152 of the terminal device 10 to execute a program (treatment application program) stored in the memory 154. At the start time of the flowchart, the terminal device 10 is assumed to complete pairing with the electric therapy apparatus 20 and establish a wireless communication connection with the electric therapy apparatus 20. Further, it is assumed that the user attaches each patch 2 of the three electric therapy apparatuses 20A, 20B, and 20C to a desired treatment site.
Referring to fig. 10, the terminal device 10 displays a setting screen (for example, setting screens 510 and 520) of the treatment content on the display 158 (step S10). The terminal device 10 determines whether or not a vibration instruction (for example, a click operation of the character string 516) to the electric therapy apparatus 20 is received via the input device 156 (step S12).
If the vibration instruction is not received (NO at step S12), the process of step S16 is executed. When the vibration instruction is received (yes in step S12), the terminal device 10 instructs the electric therapy apparatus 20 as the target associated with the character string 516 to vibrate the casing 4a (step S14). Next, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not a confirmation instruction of the treatment content (for example, a click operation of the confirmation button 529) is received via the input device 156 (step S16).
If the confirmation instruction is not received (no at step S16), the terminal device 10 returns to the process at step S10. When the confirmation instruction is received (yes at step S16), the terminal device 10 displays a confirmation screen of the treatment content (for example, the confirmation screen 610) on the display 158 (step S18). The terminal device 10 determines whether or not a vibration instruction (for example, a click operation on any of the objects 612 to 616) to the electric therapy apparatus 20 is received via the input device 156 (step S20).
If the vibration instruction is not received (no at step S20), the process at step S24 is executed. When the vibration instruction is received (yes at step S20), the terminal device 10 vibrates the casing 4a of the electric therapy apparatus 20 of the subject associated with the selected subject (step S22). Next, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not an instruction to exchange the treatment content (for example, an exchange operation between the object 614 and the object 616) is received via the input device 156 (step S24).
If the exchange instruction is not received (no at step S24), the terminal device 10 executes the process of step S28. When the exchange instruction is received (yes in step S24), the terminal device 10 exchanges the treatment content (step S26), and determines whether or not a treatment start instruction (for example, a click operation to the start button 624) is received (step S28).
If the treatment start instruction is not received (no at step S28), the terminal device 10 returns to the process at step S18. When the treatment start instruction is received (yes in step S28), the terminal device 10 instructs each electric treatment device 20 to treat the user in accordance with the corresponding treatment content (step S30), and displays a treatment screen (for example, a treatment screen 710) on the display 158 (step S32). Subsequently, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not a vibration instruction (for example, a click operation of any one of the objects 612 to 616) to the electric therapy apparatus 20 is received via the input device 156 (step S34).
If the vibration instruction is not received (no at step S34), the process at step S38 is executed. When the vibration instruction is received (yes in step S34), the terminal device 10 instructs the electric therapy apparatus 20 of the object associated with the selected object to vibrate the casing 4a (step S36).
The terminal device 10 determines whether or not the treatment is ended via the input device 156 (step S38). For example, the terminal device 10 determines that the treatment is ended when the treatment time has elapsed or when a treatment suspension instruction is received from the user. If the treatment is not ended (no at step S38), the terminal device 10 returns to the process at step S32. When the treatment has ended (yes at step S38), the terminal device 10 ends the processing.
