[ 19. A method for setting a massage pattern of a thermotherapy device, the method comprising:
driving a moxibustion device of the thermotherapy device to scan at least a portion of a spine of a user, and setting articulation points between vertebrae of the user as reference points;
storing information on one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc;
determining information on a path on which the moxibustion device is configured to move with respect to the reference points while performing a massage on the vertebrae of the user associated with the one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc, determining information on how many times the moxibustion device is configured to perform the massage while moving along the path, and storing one or more massage patterns corresponding to the one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc; and
setting a massage pattern corresponding to a user-selected therapy of the one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc, and controlling the moxibustion device and a motor of the thermotherapy device to perform a user massage according to the massage pattern,
wherein the reference points are points for establishing landmarks to set the one or more massage patterns, and wherein the reference points become starting points and end points of the one or more massage patterns;
the massage pattern corresponding to the user-selected therapy of the one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc is different from another massage pattern corresponding to another therapy different from the user-selected therapy;
the massage pattern includes a moving path, a movement repeat count, a moving speed, a massage pressure and a temperature of the moxibustion device;
the moving path is divided into a plurality of sections, the plurality of sections being adjacent to a subset of the vertebrae of the user associated with the user-selected therapy of the one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc; and
the movement repeat count, the moving speed, the massage pressure and the temperature of the moxibustion device are differently set for each section of the moving path according to the user-selected therapy of the one or more therapies for dyspepsia, blood circulation, immune boosting, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit disorder, insomnia, obesity, cervical vertebrae pain or lumbar disc.]
