MASSAGE SYSTEM WITH FEEDBACK

摘要

A massaging system (10) including a series of vibrators (12) and heaters located within seating surfaces, a massage module (37a, b) for operating and monitoring the status of vibrators (12), and a communication system connecting the massage unit to one or more external devices capable of sending massage signals and receiving diagnostic information. The communication system may include a variety of protocols, including hardwired (e.g., RS-232) or wireless devices. The massaging system (10) may include and or interface with a variety of external components, including a user­-controlled wand (36a, b), a data router (42a, b) and an electronic control unit (38). The massage module (37a, b) also functions to monitor the vibrators (12) and heaters and reports their operative status to the electronic control unit (38) and/or the user wand (36a, b). A calibration feature may also be programmed into the computer controlled massage system (10).
