In some of these embodiments, the environment is a virtual environment. In some of these embodiments, the information relating to the direction is a bearing relative to a reference from the VIP. In some of these embodiments, the information is image data. In some of these embodiments, the method further comprises: determining that the direction has changed; and stopping providing the environment information in response to determining that the direction has changed.

A communication robot for operating a massage providing apparatus by executing an artificial intelligence algorithm (AI) and/or machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for the Internet of things and a method for operating the communication robot are provided. The method for operating the communication robot may include acquiring a spoken utterance of a user positioned within a prescribed range from the massage providing apparatus, tracking a spoken utterance direction of the user from the spoken utterance of the user, orienting the communication robot towards the spoken utterance direction of the user, acquiring a voice command included in the spoken utterance in relation to operation of the massage providing apparatus, and operating the massage providing apparatus according to the voice command.

An adjustable knee ankle foot orthosis for unloading weight from a knee joint afflicted with osteoarthritis, thus reducing pain and improving mobility, comprising: an upper and lower frame connected by an unloading hinge assembly, optionally comprising a sensor and processor allowing for remote or automatic control of brace tension. In embodiments, the brace includes a user mechanism that is capable of adjusting a tensioning element while the brace is being worn. In other embodiments, electronic motors, sensors, and indicators may be included in the brace to improve brace performance and user interaction.

Provided is a mobile limb compression and circulation apparatus, and more particularly, to a mobile limb compression and circulation apparatus which is usable regardless of a place by using a small and light casing body and a rechargeable power supply device and is worn and used by a user while the user is moving.

A system is disclosed. The system has a tipping module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, and a user device. The tipping module, the processor, and the user device are configured to display one or more multimedia content pages on a user interface of the user device, the one or more multimedia content pages associated with one or more live broadcast platforms, display one or more tipping graphical elements on the user interface of the user device, the one or more tipping graphical elements associated with the one or more multimedia content pages, and execute at least one tip operation on the one or more live broadcast platforms, the at least one tip operation associated with the one or more tipping graphical elements and responsive to a trigger instruction of any of the one or more tipping graphical elements.

An image processing device includes an input/output interface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor executes: detecting feature points in a facial image of an object included in an image taken from the input/output interface; acquiring first distance information between the feature points before a beauty treatment is performed; acquiring second distance information between the feature points at a second timing after the beauty treatment is performed; acquiring a difference value between the first distance information and the second distance information; and determining whether the beauty treatment is correctly given or has been given based on a different value between the acquired distance information.

A patient treatment unit and method analyzes and treats pain in tissues by applying an electrical pulse train to the affected tissue. The impedance of the affected tissue is measured, and the measured impedance is correlated to a level of pain in the patient. The pulse train is further applied in response to the measured impedance to reduce the patient's pain. The patient treatment unit includes a probe stimulus generator that outputs the pulse train. The treatment unit also includes a pair of probes for contacting the patient's body and receiving the pulse train. The pulse has improved shaping based on isolation of high voltage from a low voltage control. The unit further includes a body impedance analysis circuit that senses voltage and current via the probes when the probes are contacting the patient and observe the impedance. A monitor is electrically coupled to the body impedance analysis circuit and provides an indication of the measured impedance indicative of the patient's level of pain in real-time.

An apparatus capable of creating synchronized sound, vibration and magnetic field stimulation, for the purpose of habituating and inhibiting brain function while stimulating the human spiritual energy system, is described. The apparatus comprises an amplifier and transducers built into a comfortable seating arrangement including a support structure and a motion platform. The support structure, such as a chair, rests upon the motion platform, which is adapted to impart three-dimensional motion to the support structure. The apparatus uses layered music to create synchronized sounds, vibrations and magnetic fields.

A massage chair includes a seat portion, a back portion a leg portion, and a massage carriage configured to move within the seat portion, the back portion, and the leg portion. The massage carriage includes comprises a percussive massage assembly comprising a motor, a reciprocating shaft coupled to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and a reciprocating massage head coupled to the reciprocating shaft. The massage chair also includes a support mechanism associated with the percussive massage assembly. The support mechanism is configured to support a weight of a user of the massage chair, thereby allowing the reciprocating shaft and the reciprocating massage head of the percussive massage assembly to reciprocate.

An exoskeleton wear management method is provided. The method includes receiving inertial data from a sensing system; determining whether a left leg component of an exoskeleton device is parallel to a left leg of a user and a right leg component of the exoskeleton device is parallel to a right leg of the user according to the received inertial data; in response to determining that the left leg component/the right leg component is not parallel to the left leg/the right leg of the user, prompting an adjusting left leg component message/an adjusting right leg component message; and in response to determining that the left leg component is parallel to the left leg of the user and the right leg component is parallel to the right leg of the user, prompting a left leg component and right leg component correctly-worn message.
