Device for acting on at least parts of a body

A device for acting on at least parts of a body of a user with medical-cosmetic radiation, comprising

• a self-supporting housing, in which an assembly emitting medical-cosmetic radiation for acting on the human body with adjustable operating parameters is housed and
• a controller connected to the assembly for acting, which sets the operating parameters,
• wherein at least one microphone is provided on the housing, by which speech inputs of the user for controlling the operating parameters can be captured, and
• the microphone is connected to an evaluation unit through a first input, the evaluation unit being configured to convert the speech inputs captured by the microphone into control commands for the assembly for acting, the evaluation unit comprising:
• a memory unit having the control commands stored therein,
• a software program stored in the memory unit as a set of instructions for execution by the evaluation unit, the software program being programmed to:
• activate the evaluation unit upon speech input of a key word,
• as soon as the evaluation unit is activated by the key word, prompt the controller to reduce operating parameters linked to a volume development and operating parameters linked to a noise development, so that the microphone is not interfered with by noises when detecting a following next speech input, and reverse the reducing a pre-settable time after an end of the speech input,
• compare a following next speech input for correspondence with a stored control command and obtain a value of the correspondence,
• if the value of the correspondence exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the correspondence associated with the control command, then the controller outputs the control command to the means for acting.

A method for acting on at least parts of a body of a user, in particular with medical-cosmetic radiation and/or by mechanical influencing, the method comprising

• providing means for acting on the human body, which comprise adjustable operating parameters,
• providing a controller connected to the means for acting, which sets the operating parameters, wherein the user specifies at least some of the operating parameters by speech input, and in that the speech inputs captured by at least one microphone are convertable by an evaluation unit into control commands for the means for acting,
• activating the evaluation unit upon speech input of a key word,
• as soon as the evaluation unit is activated by the key word, prompting the controller to reduce operating parameters linked to a volume development and operating parameters linked to a noise development, so that the microphone is not interfered with by noises when detecting a following next speech input, and reverse the reducing a pre-settable time after an end of the speech input,
• comparing a following next speech input for correspondence with a stored control command and obtaining a value of the correspondence, and
• if the value of the correspondence exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the correspondence associated with the control command, outputting the control command, via the controller, to the means for acting.
