## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
Background
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to color light therapy technology, and more particularly, to a color light therapy device that emits color light in a given wavelength range in order to intensively perform color light therapy to a portion of a human body.
2. Discussion of Related Art
Color light therapy is known as the act of helping to cure a disease or manage health by stimulating a human body with energy of various pieces of color light having unique wavelengths, and is widely used for anti-fatigue and skin care purposes or for alternative treatment and rehabilitation treatment purposes.
Actually, various types of color light therapy have recently been performed to treat an affected part, treat a specific body part associated with an acupuncture point by stimulating the acupuncture point at and through which qi-blood gathers around a body surface and passes, treat atopic dermatitis, treat pain or inflammation (for example, menstrual pain or burns), prevent and treat a stroke and dementia, or improve health by using energy of color light in medicine, oriental medicine, or alternative medicine.
As a conventional color light therapy device used to perform color light therapy, a portable color therapy device (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0249062, registered on 21 Sep. 2001) and a portable color therapy device (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0254862, registered on 8 Nov. 2001) have been developed. Each of the portable color therapy devices is carried in a user's hand and is configured to emit unique color light by using a color filter that may be exchanged with a white light-emitting diode (LED).
Also, a light irradiation device for medical treatment using an LED (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0405265, registered on 29 Dec. 2005) promotes the natural healing power of an affected part by emitting LED light that may cure a human body and select a wavelength range according to a patient's symptom for biostimulation effects.
However, the light irradiation device for medical treatment using the LED (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0405265, registered on 29 Dec. 2005) has problems in that since color light is widely irradiated to the affected part by applying the light irradiation device in the form of a mat, an ordinary person may not easily purchase and use the light irradiation device anywhere, and particularly, a user may not intensively irradiate and use color light to a specific acupuncture point of a human body.
Also, each of the portable color therapy device (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0249062, registered on 21 Sep. 2001) and the portable color therapy device (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0254862, registered on 8 Nov. 2001) has problems in that since only the white LED is used, the color filter has to be replaced in order to obtain desired color light, and particularly, the user has to use the color therapy device by holding it in his/her hand.

The color light therapy device constructed as described above is used as follows.
The color light therapy device according to the present invention is used to treat an affected part, treat a specific body part associated with an acupuncture point by stimulating the acupuncture point at and through which qi-blood gathers around a body surface and passes, treat atopic dermatitis, treat pain or inflammation (for example, menstrual pain or burns), prevent and treat a stroke and dementia, or improve health by using energy of color light in medicine, oriental medicine, or alternative medicine.
For example, FIG. 13 is a view illustrating a state where menstrual pain treatment is performed by connecting a color light therapy device according to the present invention to a smartphone. FIG. 14 is a view illustrating a state where dementia treatment is performed by connecting a color light therapy device according to the present invention to a PC.
Referring to FIG. 13, a user uses the color light therapy device by connecting the power jack 40 that is connected to the electric wire 30 of the color light therapy device to an earphone socket or a USB terminal of the smartphone, and attaching the body 20 to a menstrual pain treatment portion (for example, a acupuncture point such as a point Ki-Hae (Conception Vessel 6, CV6) that is located several centimeters below the navel and functions to discharge carbon dioxide to the outside of the body and relieve any pain below the navel through systemic circulation and activation, or a point Jung-Wan(CV12) that is located between the navel and the solar plexus and functions to produce good energy and boost metabolism by stimulating the activity of the brain) of the human body that is said in oriental medicine to be associated with the womb by using the double-sided adhesive tape 20a, the hydrogel pad 20b, or the air suction plate 20c. 
Referring to FIG. 14, the user uses the color light therapy device by connecting the power jack 40 that is connected to the electric wire 30 to an earphone socket or a USB terminal of the PC, and by attaching the body 20 to a dementia treatment portion (for example, an acupuncture point such as a point Gok-ji(CV11), a point Jung-Wan(CV12), a point Geo-Gwol(CV14), or a point Bu-Dol(CV18), a central portion of the forehead, or a neck portion in which the main artery flows to the brain) of the human body that is said in oriental medicine to be associated with dementia prevention and treatment by using the double-sided adhesive tape 20a, the hydrogel pad 20b, or the air suction pad 20c. 
Assuming that the color light therapy device does not include the light source operation button 22 or the light source operation controller 60, when the user connects the power jack 40 to the smartphone or the PC, the light source 11 emits color light (for example, orange light, red light, green light, or yellow light) in a given wavelength range (for example, a visible light wavelength band ranging from 400 nm to 800 nm in which color light is visible at a point of time when the color light touches skin) to perform color light therapy on the user's body, and when the user separates the power jack 40 from the smartphone or the PC, the light source 11 is turned off.
By contrast, assuming that the color light therapy device includes the light source operation button 22 or the light source operation controller 60, when the user outputs a light source ON signal by pressing the light source operation button 22 included in the body 20 of the color light therapy device, or outputs a light source ON signal by pressing the light source operation button 61 included in the light source operation controller 60, the light source 11 emits color light.
Also, when the user outputs a light source OFF signal by pressing again the light source operation button 22 that is included in the body 20 of the color light therapy device or outputs a light source OFF signal by pressing again the light source operation button 61 that is included in the light source operation controller 60 while the light source 11 emits the color light, the light source 11 is turned off.
The color light emitted by the light source 11 of the body 20 is filtered and focused by the optical filter 12, is reflected by the reflector 13 to the light outlet 21, and is emitted through the light outlet 21, to be intensively irradiated to the menstrual pain treatment portion or the dementia treatment portion during a given period of time (for example, 10±5 minutes).
In fact, once the color light for treatment is irradiated to the menstrual pain treatment portion, photon energy is supplied to a damaged cell, metabolism of the damaged cell is boosted, circulation is promoted, and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to a damaged womb tissue is increased to relieve menstrual pain. For reference, menstrual pain treatment performed by the color light therapy device of the present invention is based on a principle that photons of light that are intensively irradiated to a menstrual pain treatment portion of a human body that is said in oriental medicine to be associated with the womb move along a meridian pathway, and react with light receptors in cells when reaching the womb, to generate nitrogen monoxide (nitric oxide (NO)), increase a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration, relax a smooth muscle constituting the womb, boost circulation, and thus increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the damaged womb. Even in western medicine, since a point to which colorelight is irradiated is a portion where the womb exists, the color light irradiated to skin may reach and treat the womb based on this principle.
Also, once the color light for treatment is irradiated to the dementia treatment portion of the human body, photon energy is supplied to a brain cell or tissue, to increase a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration in the brain cell or tissue, increase the generation of nitrogen monoxide (nitric oxide) by oxidative enzymes (cytochrome c oxidase), increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain cell or tissue, increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and thus improve memory.
While the user performs menstrual pain treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the smartphone or performs dementia treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the PC as described in the above, when the light source pattern button 62 that is included in the light source operation controller 60 and repeatedly outputs a continuous light source pattern selection signal and a discontinuous light source pattern selection signal whenever being pressed once is manipulated, the color light emitted by the light source 11 may be continuously irradiated to the color light therapy portion of the human body or discontinuously irradiated to the menstrual pain treatment portion of the human body.
Also, while the user performs menstrual pain treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the smartphone or performs dementia treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the PC, when the time adjustment button 63 that is included in the light source operation controller 60 and adjusts a light source operation time is manipulated to adjust a period of time for which the color light emitted by the light source 11 is irradiated to the color light therapy portion of the human body, the color light therapy device may be performed for a desired period of time and after a preset time passes, the light source 11 may be automatically turned off.
Also, while the user performs menstrual pain treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the smartphone or performs dementia treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the PC, when the brightness adjustment button 64 that is included in the light source operation controller 60 and adjusts light source brightness is manipulated, brightness of the color light emitted by the light source 11 may be adjusted.
Also, when the user performs menstrual pain treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the smartphone or performs dementia treatment by connecting the color light therapy device to the PC, only power of the smartphone or the PC may be used, or a color light therapy program that is mounted in the smartphone or the PC and provides a color light therapy user interface (UI) screen may be driven to control the operation of the light source 11 of the color light therapy device, select a light source pattern, adjust a time, or adjust brightness. The color light therapy program would have been easily understood and implemented in various ways by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the color light therapy program may be driven when a color light therapy icon displayed on a wallpaper of the PC or a widget screen of the smartphone is selected, to provide the color light therapy UI screen for controlling the operation of the light source 11, selecting a light source pattern, adjusting a time, or adjusting brightness.
As described above, since visible light is used, a color light therapy device according to the present invention is safe with no side effects. Since a user may use the color light therapy device by connecting a power jack to a mobile phone, a PC, a laptop, a tablet PC, a smartphone, a PDA, a vehicle, or a socket at home while carrying the color light therapy device, anyone may conveniently use the color light therapy device to perform color light therapy on a human body without exchanging or charging a battery.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the above-described exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers all such modifications provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
