TITLE
Health-stimulating piece of furniture. FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a health-stimulating piece of furniture for a user, comprising: a massage unit for providing massage functions to the body of said user while being positioned in said piece; a display unit configured as a user interface allowing input of instructions from said user and providing output messages to said user related to the operation of said piece; an audio unit configured for providing audio messages to said user during use of said piece; and a control unit, being connected to said massage unit, display unit and audio unit, and configured for coordinating said units in accordance with at least one preset health-stimulating program.
BACKGROUND
Chairs with an ability to provide massage or therapy to users are previously known. For example, many massage parlours have massage chairs with various inbuilt training programs to provide neck massage or body massage to users. Such massage chairs have increasingly become popular in office and home environments also. However, the drawback of such chairs is that they are stand-alone units without periodic access to a service centre, an information helpdesk and the like. Consequently, the maintenance and servicing of such massage chairs become very difficult. Thus, there exists a need for a better massage chair which incorporates advanced technologies.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective of the invention is to provide an improved health-stimulating piece of furniture. This objective is achieved by the health-stimulating piece of furniture as set forth in the appended claims. The piece of furniture is
according to an embodiment basically a massage arm chair arranged for improving the mental and physical health of a user.
According to the present invention there is provided a health-stimulating piece of furniture as defined above and further comprising a communication unit configured for establishing a connection between said control unit and a remote server unit and for allowing communication relating to the status and operating condition of said piece. The communication unit is arranged for establishing a connection with a remote server unit in order to download updates to software and preset health-stimulating programs and other functions. Thus, there is no need of manually updating the software and health-stimulating programs of each health-stimulating piece.
According to one aspect of the invention the communication unit connects to a remote payment gateway to facilitate payment for usage of health-stimulating chair and for services related to the piece of furniture. This allows each user to easily pay for using the health-stimulating piece of furniture, for example via a credit card payment routine as is previously known. In a further aspect of the invention the communication unit connects to the remote payment gateway using a radio module which has an optional subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot.

DISCLOSURE OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The figures are schematic and simplified for clarity and merely show details essential for understanding the invention. Throughout the disclosure the same reference numerals have been used to represent identical or corresponding parts.
Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating a health-stimulating piece of furniture, in the form of a chair 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The health-stimulating chair 100 is suitably in the form of an armchair which comprises of a massage unit 102, a display unit 104, an audio unit 106, a control unit 108 and a communication unit 1 10.
The massage unit 102 is used for providing massage functions to the body of a user while the user is seated in health-stimulating chair 100. The massage functions include head massage, back massage, foot massage, neck massage, full-body massage and the like. It may be apparent to any person skilled in the art that other known types of massages may also be provided using the massage unit 102, such as massage based on ultrasound or the distribution of soundwaves. The display unit 104 is configured as a user interface for allowing input of instructions from the user and providing output messages to the user related to the operation of the health-stimulating chair 100. The instructions from user include selection of at least one preset health-stimulating program from a number of preset health-stimulating programs, entering commands for operation of health-stimulating chair 100, selection of movies for playback on display unit 104 and selection of audio for playback using the audio unit 104. A health-stimulating program is a set of instructions designed for providing massage function, visually-relaxing content and audio messages to a user of the health-stimulating chair 100. This means that the user, while receiving massage in the chair, listens to an audio program which can be used for mental relaxation, anti-stress treatment or similar.
Consequently, the audio messages can suitably be in the form of a recording of a narrator who reads out loud a text which is composed in order to stimulate the mind. For example, such a text can be composed so as to allow relaxation
or an anti-stress process in the mind of the user. Also, the audio messages can be composed in the form of an aid for the user to quit smoking. Suitably, such spoken-word audio messages can be mixed together with a musical background in order to facilitate for the user to absorb the message of the spoken audio messages. In this manner, a user may experience effects such as reduced stress, improved energy and motivation, better sleep and other health-improving effects. It has been found that soft massage, for example in a massage armchair, may lead to improvements related to anti-stress and a more relaxed mental state. It is also known that such massage in combination with mental training (for example by means of audio programs as described above) has beneficial effects as regards the ability to relax, reduced stress levels, access to more energy and motivation etc. In fact, it has be shown that the massage as described has positive effects on the administration of oxytocin - which is a neuropeptide and hormone - in the human body. Oxytocin has anti-stress effects in humans and it is also believed that such reduced stress level improves the susceptibility to mental training and similar activities. An important principle behind the invention is the insight that the combination of the massage and the mental training has positive effects. For this reason, it can be noted that a chair which is designed according to the principles of the invention can be used in workplaces, offices etc in order to provide health-stimulating treatments of employees.
It may be apparent to any person skilled in the art that various other instructions related to the operation of the health-stimulating chair 100 may also be input by the user using the display unit 104. To this end, the display unit 104 may include a touch screen interface for receiving touch-based user input.
The output messages to the user may include playing of a movie selected by the user, displaying the at least one preset health-stimulating program
selected by the user, or displaying new campaigns or advertisements and price packages available for using the health-stimulating chair 100. It may be apparent to any person skilled in the art that various other output messages related to the operation of the health-stimulating chair 100 may also be displayed to the user using the display unit 104 and/or the audio unit 106.
As mentioned above, the audio unit 106 is configured for providing audio messages to the user during the use/operation of the health-stimulating chair 100. The audio messages include speech-based commands or instructions for the user, playback of the songs selected for playing by the user, audio playback associated with a movie selected for playing by the user, anti- smoking messages, mental coaching messages and de-stressing messages. It may be apparent to any person skilled in the art that other audio messages related to the operation of health-stimulating chair 100 may be provided by the audio unit 106 to the user.
