Abstract
A low-frequency treatment device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a pad unit, an operation unit that receives an operation from a user, and a processor. The processor causes the pad unit to supply a low-frequency pulse current that provides electrical stimuli for treatment. The processor causes the pad unit to supply a notification pulse current that provides electrical stimuli, different from the electrical stimuli for treatment, to notify the user of receipt of the operation to the operation unit.
Claims10
A low-frequency treatment device comprising:
- a pad unit configured to supply a pulse current to an object to be in contact;
- an operation unit configured to receive an operation from a user;
- and
- a control unit configured to cause the pad unit to supply a low-frequency pulse current that provides an electrical stimulus for treatment and a notification pulse current that provides another electrical stimulus configured to notify the user of receipt of the operation, the other electrical stimulus being different from the electrical stimulus for treatment, wherein
- the control unit,
- when receiving an operation instructing an increase of stimulus intensity of the low-frequency pulse current, causes the pad unit to supply the notification pulse current having a stimulus intensity that increases over time, and
- when receiving an operation instructing a decrease of stimulus intensity of the low-frequency pulse current, causes the pad unit to supply the notification pulse current having a stimulus intensity that decreases over time.
A method for controlling a low-frequency treatment device including a pad unit configured to supply a pulse current to an object to be in contact, an operation unit configured to receive an operation from a user, and a processor, the method comprising:
- causing the pad unit to supply a low-frequency pulse current that provides an electrical stimulus for treatment and a notification pulse current that provides another electrical stimulus configured to notify the user of receipt of the operation, the other electrical stimulus being different from the electrical stimulus for treatment,
- when receiving an operation instructing an increase of stimulus intensity of the low-frequency pulse current, causing the pad unit to supply the notification pulse current having a stimulus intensity that increases over time, and
- when receiving an operation instructing a decrease of stimulus intensity of the low-frequency pulse current, causing the pad unit to supply the notification pulse current having a stimulus intensity that decreases over time.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control recording medium for a low-frequency treatment device including a pad unit configured to supply a pulse current to an object to be in contact, an operation unit configured to receive an operation from a user, and a processor, the control recording medium causing the processor to execute an operation comprising:
- causing the pad unit to supply a low-frequency pulse current that provides an electrical stimulus for treatment and a notification pulse current that provides another electrical stimulus configured to notify the user of receipt of the operation, the other electrical stimulus being different from the electrical stimulus for treatment,
- when receiving an operation instructing an increase of stimulus intensity of the low-frequency pulse current, causing the pad unit to supply the notification pulse current having a stimulus intensity that increases over time, and
- when receiving an operation instructing a decrease of stimulus intensity of the low-frequency pulse current, causing the pad unit to supply the notification pulse current having a stimulus intensity that decreases over time.
