Authentication failure information indicating that the authentication has failed is transmitted to the massage machine 1 (S704).

When the massage machine 1 receives the authentication failure information transmitted from the server 300 (S602), the process ends. In this case, the person to be treated cannot be examined by a doctor.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S703 that the authentication has succeeded (success in S703), the server 300
Judges whether or not the medical examination is possible by retrieving the stored medical doctor information (S705) and confirming whether or not the medical doctors who can be examined are registered (S706). As a result, if it is determined that the medical examination is impossible (NO in S706), the medical examination impossible information indicating that the medical examination by the doctor is impossible is transmitted to the massage machine 1 (S707).

When the massage machine 1 receives the non-examination information transmitted from the server 300 (S603), the process is terminated. In this case, the person to be treated cannot be examined by a doctor.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S706 that a medical examination by a doctor is possible (YES in step S706),
The massage machine 1 displays the examination availability information indicating that the examination is possible.
To (S708). When the massage machine 1 receives this examination permission information (S604), the massage machine 1 executes the following processing.

First, the massage machine 1 acquires the biometric information of the person to be treated in the same manner as in step S404 in the first embodiment (S605), and displays the acquired biometric information on the display section 30a of the remote controller 30 ( S60
6). Then, the biological information acquired in step S605 and the attribute data of the user, which has been input in advance, are stored in the server 30.
It is transmitted to 0 (S607).

When the server 300 receives the biometric information and attribute data of the user sent from the massage machine 1 (S709), the server 300 sends the received biometric information and attribute data to the client 4 relating to the doctor who can examine the received biometric information and attribute data. It is transmitted (S710).

The client 4 receives the biometric information and the attribute data transmitted from the server 300 (S80).
1). The biometric information and the attribute data thus received are displayed on the display unit of the client 4. The doctor confirms the contents of the displayed biometric information and attribute data, and judges the physical condition of the user. Then, medical examination information indicating what kind of massage should be performed to improve the physical condition of the user is input to the client 4. When the client 4 receives the input of the medical examination information from the doctor (S802), the client 4 transmits the received medical examination information to the server 300 (S80).
3).

Here, although the examination information shows whether or not the physical condition of the user can be improved, the content of the examination information is not limited to this.
Anything related to the physical condition of the person to be treated may be used. For example, it may indicate that the user is to point out a bad part of the body.

When the server 300 receives the medical examination information transmitted from the client 4 (S711), the server 300 transmits the received medical examination information to the massage machine 1 (S71).
2). When the massage machine 1 receives the medical examination information (S608), the massage machine 1 stores the received medical examination information in the ROM 42 (S609). Then, the medical examination information is displayed on the display unit 30a of the remote controller 30 (S61).

It is possible to perform an appropriate massage according to various physical conditions of the user.

(Embodiment 3) In Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the blood pressure value, the electroencephalogram, etc.
Although the body temperature, the heart rate, the body fat, and the weight are taken up, the biological information usable in the present invention is not limited to these. In addition to this, for example, the respiratory rate, the electrocardiogram, etc. can be used as the biometric information. The massage machine included in the massage system according to the third embodiment uses a percussion sound as the biometric information of the user.

Hereinafter, the percussion will be briefly described. The percussion is an examination method for judging the local properties of the patient based on the nature of the sound (percussion sound) obtained by tapping the surface of the patient's body. For example, it is possible to determine the position and size of an organ, the height and movement of the diaphragm, the presence of pleural effusion and air in the pleural cavity, and the like.

The percussion sound is composed of sound intensity, sound quality, and sound length, and there are four types: absolute dull sound, dull sound, clear sound, and syllable sound. Therefore, various physical properties are judged based on these components and types.

FIG. 16 is a side view showing an example of the structure of the tapping portion provided in the massage machine in the massage system according to the third embodiment for detecting the sound of percussion by the user. In addition, FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a part of the beating portion in a broken manner.

Reference numeral 0 denotes a movable rod member 60a protruding from a movable body 60d made of a magnetic material, an electromagnet 60b and a coil spring 60c for moving the movable rod member 60a forward and backward in the direction of its central axis, and these 60a, 60b, 60c, 60d
And a housing 60e accommodating therein. The electromagnet 60d has a cylindrical shape and has a hole penetrating therethrough in the axial direction. Further, the coil spring 60c connects one end of the electromagnet 60d and the movable body 60d,
The movable rod member 60a is inserted through the hole of the electromagnet 60d and the coil spring 60c.

This striking portion 60 has a V-shape so that when the movable rod member 60a is projected to the outside of the housing 60e as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 16, its tip hits the upper treatment element 9. It is attached to the middle of the character-shaped arm 12.

The rest of the configuration of the massage machine in the massage system according to this embodiment is the same as in the case of the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4 together.

When a current is supplied to the electromagnet 60b in the striking section 60 constructed as described above, a magnetic field proportional to the current is generated. Therefore, the movable body 60
A force is generated to attract d. As a result, the movable body 60d is moved to the electromagnet 60b side, and along with this, the movable rod member 60a.
Project to the outside of the housing 60e. As a result, the movable rod member 60a hits the treatment element 9 and, as a result, the treatment element 9a.
Will hit the back of the patient.

The percussion sound obtained by tapping the back of the user in this manner is detected by the microphone 61 provided at an appropriate position of the arm 12. The percussion sound detected in this way is given to the massage machine 1 as a voice signal. Then, the massage machine 1 transmits the audio signal to the server 300, so that the server 300 selects an appropriate massage program based on the percussion sound, or the doctor performs a more accurate medical examination based on the percussion sound. Is possible.

The movement of the movable body 60d and the movable rod member 60a can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the amount and timing of the current supplied to the electromagnet 60d by using a dedicated control circuit. here,
Since the back of the user can be tapped more strongly by increasing the moving speed, the tapping section 60 can be used for the purpose of performing a tapping operation, not for the purpose of obtaining a percussion sound as described above. Is.

By the way, when tapping is performed using the treatment element 9 as described above, only the percussion of the back of the user can be performed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, a tapping unit 60 may be provided outside the massage machine 1 so that a user can perform a percussion on any part of the body of the user. FIG. 18 shows an example in which the beating unit 60 is configured to be connected to the massage machine 1 via the terminal 35 similarly to the headphones 31 and the like. With this configuration, the user can tap the arbitrary portion of his / her body using the tapping portion 60 to perform a percussion. In this case, the tapping unit 60 may be provided with a microphone (not shown), and the microphone may detect the percussion sound.

The percussion sound thus detected can be used as the biometric information of the person to be treated in the processing shown in each of the first to third embodiments.

As the biometric information, for example, respiratory rate, electrocardiogram, etc. can be used as the biometric information. It is also possible to use the hardness (muscle hardness) of the muscle of the user as biometric information. By analyzing this muscle hardness, it becomes possible to understand the stiffness of the user's muscles that the user cannot clearly recognize. Therefore, it is considered that the muscle hardness of the user is suitable as the biometric information used by the massage machine. The hardness referred to here is a value obtained based on a value obtained by differentiating the applied load by the distance that the body surface is displaced by this load. In order to obtain such muscle hardness, for example, an external force is applied to the body of the user, and a hardness detector configured to detect the hardness of the body based on the external force and the displacement amount of the body corresponding to the external force. Should be provided in the massage machine.
