Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise support system, method, apparatus, and instruction information generation device that can receive instruction during exercise without being in an environment where it is possible to meet with an instructor, and in particular, actual movement of a user during exercise. The present invention relates to an exercise support system, method, apparatus, and instruction information generating apparatus that can receive appropriate instruction at a user's desired time based on the above.

  It is common for beginners of various types of sports to have their instructors watch their body movements and receive guidance. For example, a person who bowls increases his skill by correcting his own throwing form in response to suggestions from friends who are bowling together or those who are instructing as business.

  However, when you actually meet with the instructor, there will be time and geographical restrictions, so you will not always receive instruction from the instructor when you exercise.

  When practicing independently without meeting with the instructor, the form will be adjusted with reference to materials such as instruction books and instructional videos, but these textbooks only show general theory. Absent. For this reason, optimal guidance that is different for each individual cannot be obtained from textbooks.

  Therefore, beginners who have few opportunities to receive guidance from instructors tend to be difficult to improve.

  When playing sports with a plurality of participants, there are not a few cases where there is a difference between the skills of the participants and there is not enough enjoyment. In the previous bowling example, a beginner who is not able to set a throwing form and easily puts out a garter will have a low score.

  For this reason, there are not a few cases of sports beginners who get frustrated before they improve.

As inventions related to exercise support, there are inventions disclosed in Patent Documents 1-6.
Patent Document 1 discloses “a body motion evaluation method, a swing motion evaluation method, and a body motion measurement system” that includes a measuring unit that measures the amount of motion of at least two specific attention points set on the body, The present invention relates to a measurement system including an information processing unit that temporally synchronizes measurement data of a predetermined period based on measurement data of any means.

  The “motion information measuring system and motion information measuring method” disclosed in Patent Document 2 measures motion information based on a user's motion at a predetermined timing by a motion information measuring unit worn on the user's body, and the motion information. Is transmitted from the motion information measuring device to the motion information management device for management.

  The “Internet lesson system” disclosed in Patent Document 3 downloads the two-screen motion analysis tool to both the teacher's terminal and the instructor's terminal, and the two users use the two-screen motion analysis tool respectively. The lesson is conducted via the Internet.

  The “exercise support device” disclosed in Patent Document 4 compares the movement of the instructor with the movement of the instructor, and when the difference in movement exceeds a threshold value, the stimulus worn on the instructor's body By means, a stimulus is given to a portion where the difference in motion exceeds a threshold value.

  The “exercise support apparatus and program thereof” disclosed in Patent Document 5 allows the user to exercise while referring to the instruction data as a model, and can be adapted when the instruction data cannot be adapted. The corrected instruction data is presented.

Patent Document 6 discloses a “method and system for analyzing and indicating exercise motion”, which monitors an individual's selected motion motion based on an output of an inertial sensor and an image from a video camera, and selects the motion motion. The analysis result is reported in a display form including a graph based on the time of the performance parameter.

  However, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 merely measures the momentum of the specific attention point, and cannot receive appropriate advice based on the measurement result of the measuring means. In other words, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 must judge by itself how to improve the form, and is no different from practicing with reference to textbooks.

  The invention disclosed in Patent Document 2 only manages the operation information by the operation information management device, and does not disclose anything about how to perform guidance based on the operation information. Thus, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2 cannot receive appropriate guidance.

  In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 3, the lesson is possible even if the teacher and the instructor are in a remote place by performing the lesson via the Internet, but the two can use the Internet at the same time. Without it, the lesson cannot be done. In other words, there is a time constraint that lessons can be performed only at times convenient for both the teacher and the instructor.

  The invention disclosed in Patent Document 4 can notify a location where the difference from the movement of the leader is large, but cannot accurately notify the cause. Moreover, the cause of the large difference from the movement of the instructor is not always the part. For example, there are cases where the movement of the hand is different from the movement of the instructor in the shoulder or the trunk, but in such a case, the site that is different from the movement of the instructor cannot be notified accurately. Therefore, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 4 cannot always receive appropriate guidance.

  The invention disclosed in Patent Document 5 can be applied only to an operation that can be performed while referring to a model operation. That is, what can be instructed is limited to an operation such as a stationary state or a change from one stationary state to another stationary state, and cannot be applied to the purpose of instructing a continuous series of operations such as a throwing form.

  The invention disclosed in Patent Document 6 displays an analysis result in a display form including a graph based on a time of a selected performance parameter of an exercise motion, and all persons who receive guidance have the meaning of such a graph. I do not always understand. That is, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 6 is difficult to say that it is possible to receive appropriate guidance because it is necessary to determine for itself how to improve the form as in Patent Document 1.

  Thus, there is provided an exercise support system, method, apparatus, and instruction information generation apparatus that can receive appropriate instruction based on the actual body movement of the user during exercise without being in an environment where it is possible to meet with the instructor.

The operation of the bowling support system according to this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 shows an operational flow of the bowling support system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a data flow in the bowling support system according to the present embodiment.
First, the sensors 1022 and 1031 are activated in response to a start operation by the user. After the sensor is activated, when a user wearing the information terminal 10 performs a pitching motion, body movements such as a user's hand swing and a foot movement are detected by the sensors of the arm guard unit 102 and the shoe unit 103 (sensor 1022). , 1031) is converted into data as operation information. The operation information data generated by each sensor is notified to the wireless unit 1014 of the ear wearing main unit 101 by each wireless unit (wireless units 1023 and 1032). The ear wearing main unit 101 receives the operation information data notified from the arm guard unit 102 and the shoe unit 103 by the time division processing according to the wireless method of each wireless unit, while receiving the operation information data received from each part. Restore as data in each part without mixing. In addition, although the case where the operation information data received by the ear wearing main unit 101 from the shoe unit 103 and the arm guard unit 102 is multiplexed by time division processing is described here as an example, these are frequency division multiplexing, code division multiplexing, etc. Other methods may be used for multiplexing.
When an end operation is performed by the user, the sensors 1022 and 1031 stop measuring, and the ear wearing main unit 101 packs the operation information data restored so far in a data pack method for controlling in the data server 20, It transmits to the data server 20 via the communication part 1013 (step S502). In this embodiment, in order to analyze a bowling pitching operation that is completed in a short time, data for one pitching operation is collectively restored and packed as shown in FIG. When analyzing the operation, as shown in FIG. 8B, it is preferable to pack the data for each predetermined time and sequentially transmit it to the data server 20.

Upon receiving the packed operation information data from the information terminal 10 by the communication control unit 201, the data server 20 stores the data in the storage unit 202 (step S503). Then, the communication control unit 201 notifies the user motion information analysis unit 203 that the packed motion information data has been received, and requests the analysis of the packed motion information data. In response to this request, the user motion information analysis unit 203 reads the packed motion information data from the storage unit 202 and analyzes the motion information (step S504). For example, the sensor output during the period from the start of the sensor operation to the actual start of the pitch and the period from the end of the pitch to the end operation is not necessary for form analysis. The sensor output during those periods is removed, and only the sensor output during actual pitching is extracted. Since the sensor output shows a unique feature depending on the type of operation, it can be realized by extracting only a portion whose feature matches the sample data for extraction.
FIG. 9 is a diagram conceptually showing a process of extracting only the sensor output in a period corresponding to the pitching operation, and shows a temporal change in the output of a certain sensor. Since the sensor output during the pitching operation shows a change similar to the sample data for extraction, only the sensor output during actual pitching is extracted by extracting only the portion similar to the sample data from the start to the stop of the sensor. Can be extracted.
Thereafter, the user action information analysis unit 203 outputs the analysis result to the pitch form lecture data generation unit 204. The pitch form lecture data generation unit 204 reads the optimal pitch form data from the model data storage unit 205, extracts the difference from the optimal pitch form based on the analysis result, and generates pitch form lecture data. (Step S505). The pitch form lecture data generation unit 204 transmits the pitch form lecture data to the information terminal 10 using the communication control unit 201.

  The ear mounting main unit 101 transmits the throwing form lecture data received by the communication unit 1013 to the arm guard unit 102 by the radio unit 1014. The arm guard unit 102 displays the pitch form lecture data received by the wireless unit 1023 from the ear wearing main unit 101 on the liquid crystal display unit 1021 (step S506).

  By performing the above operation for each pitch, the user can correct his own pitch form for each pitch.

  In this example, the sensor is started and stopped by an input operation by the user. However, these operations can be omitted. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, since the sensor output shows a unique characteristic depending on the type of operation, it is not possible to extract only the sensor output for a period corresponding to the pitching without starting and stopping the sensor. Is possible. However, from the viewpoint of power saving, it is preferable to activate the sensor only when necessary.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the sensor is mounted on the shoe or the arm guard is taken as an example, but the sensor can be mounted on any device (for example, a supporter or a belt) that is attached to the body. . However, in order to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N ratio) of the sensor and reduce the influence of noise, it is preferably mounted on a tool attached to the end of the body that moves greatly during exercise.

  As described above, according to the bowling support system according to the present embodiment, the user can practice while receiving appropriate guidance without directly facing the instructor.

  The configuration of the data server 20 is the same as that of the first embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the user operation information analysis unit 203 analyzes a moving image obtained by shooting a pitching form of a person who receives guidance. Further, the model data storage unit 205 stores a moving image of an optimal pitching form. The communication control unit 201 corresponds to the communication unit 22 in FIG.

Note that this moving image may be taken by an information terminal 10 (a terminal different from the terminal of the user to be analyzed) provided with a camera 1011 as shown in FIG. You may shoot with the camera. For example, a camera for shooting a throwing form may be installed on a bowling lane so that a person other than the thrower does not enter the angle of view, and shooting may be performed using the camera. The communication control unit 201 notifies the user motion information analysis unit 203 that the moving image data of the user's pitch form of the information terminal 101 has been received, and requests the analysis of the moving image data. The user motion information analysis unit 203 reads and analyzes the moving image data stored in the storage unit 202. For example, the frame image before starting the pitching and the frame image after finishing the pitching are not necessary for the analysis of the pitching form. Extract only the frame image.
The user action information analysis unit 203 outputs the analysis result to the pitch form lecture data generation unit 204. The pitch form lecture data generation unit 204 reads the moving image of the optimal pitch form from the model data storage unit 205, extracts the difference from the optimal pitch form based on the analysis result, and generates pitch form lecture data To do. When detecting the difference between the analysis result and the optimum throwing form, a known image processing technique can be applied. The pitch form lecture data generation unit 204 transmits the pitch form lecture data to the information terminal 10 using the communication control unit 201.

The arm guard unit 102 displays the pitch form lecture data received by the wireless unit 1023 from the ear wearing main unit 101 on the liquid crystal display unit 1021.

  By performing the above operation for each pitch, the user can correct his own pitch form for each pitch.

In the above description, the case where there is one moving image data analyzed by the data server 20 is taken as an example. However, the data server 20 can also analyze a plurality of moving images and generate pitch form lecture data. is there. Based on the analysis results of a plurality of moving images, it is possible to generate pitch form lecture data with more appropriate guidance content.
In the above description, the throwing form lecture data is transmitted to an information terminal different from that used for shooting the throwing action and displayed. However, the throwing form is displayed using the information terminal provided with the camera. , The pitch form lecture data may be transmitted and displayed on the information terminal used for shooting. In this case, it is possible to receive a pitch form lecture simply by preparing one information terminal equipped with a camera.
