The input unit 210 is an input means for inputting a user command for controlling the operation of the EMS wearing tool 100 and includes an environment setting key, a character key, a numeric key, . That is, the user can input the sex, age, etc. of the user through the input unit 210, and can adjust the strength, time, etc. of the stimulus by selecting a specific electrode among the plurality of electrodes 110.

The measurement unit 220 measures a user's body weight, body fat, muscle strength, and the like. The measuring unit 220 is used to optimize the position and intensity of the electrodes according to the user's physical condition (body weight, body fat, muscle strength, etc.). The user's body condition is not measured by the measuring unit 220, The setting value may be directly input through the input unit 210. [

The display unit 230 displays the operation state of the EMS wearing tool 100. That is, a body part, a stimulus intensity, an accumulated time, a remaining time, etc. of a plurality of electrodes 110 of the EMS wearing mouth 100 to which a stimulus is applied are displayed on the screen in numerical, graphical, .

Simultaneously, a user image and an avatar image are displayed simultaneously so that the user can recognize his / Or a calibration part may be indicated by an arrow or the like, and a notification signal may be output together with a guidance message. For example, when a user uses a treadmill to walk, the standard posture (in the case of power walking, the movement of both arms should be increased, and force should be applied to the abdominal muscles and the breast muscles) An alarm (a beeping sound) is output along with a guidance message to be displayed, or an arrow is displayed on an arm, a stomach, and a chest, so that the user can consciously correct posture (motion, movement) .

4 is a flowchart illustrating an EMS control process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, a user's sex and age information are received from a user terminal (S210). The user's sex and age information can be input directly by the user through the input unit.

Next, information on the user's physical condition is received from the user terminal (S220). Information on the physical condition of the user can be measured through the measuring unit by the user's body weight, body fat, muscle strength, or the like, or the user can input directly through the input unit. The body condition of the user may be automatically measured by the measuring unit according to the type (type) of the user terminal, or may be a configuration in which the user directly inputs through the input unit. For example, if the user terminal is a fitness device, it is preferable that the user terminal is automatically measured through the measuring unit. If the user terminal is a cellular phone, it is preferable that the user directly inputs the information through the key input unit of the cellular phone.

Next, the control unit searches the storage unit to extract an optimal EMS stimulation program corresponding to the user's sex, age, and physical condition (S230). Here, the optimal EMS stimulation program can be leveled and stored as a beginner course, an intermediate course, and an advanced (expert) course, and the user can select a level suitable for him / her.

Next, the controller determines whether the user has entered (S240). This course is a process in which the user can select the appropriate level for the proposed EMS stimulation program or the user can further adjust the setting value to the preprogrammed EMS stimulation program. For example, after choosing a beginner course, you can add stimuli to the forearm, lower abdomen, or relieve the ankle or leg stimulation to adjust the intensity of the stimuli at the desired area.

As a result of the determination in step S240, if a user input is made, a setting value is reflected (S250), and then a control signal is transmitted (S260). .

Next, the EMS stimulation region is output through the display unit (S270). At this time, the EMS stimulation intensity can be displayed together with each body part.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a user wears an EMS wearing mouth and starts EMS training using an arbitrary exercise device (user terminal) or executes an EMS training application on a user's mobile phone, , EMS stimulation programs that match the age, physical condition, and sports items are extracted and stimulated by the user's body according to the program, so that even a novice who is not familiar with EMS training can conveniently use his / Optimized muscle EMS exercise can be performed on sports equipment and sports items.

Referring to FIG. 5, a user's motion image is acquired through an image acquisition unit at a user terminal (S310).

Next, the virtual object generation unit analyzes the image acquired by the image acquisition unit to generate an associated virtual object (S320). For example, when a user performs a motion using a treadmill, the virtual object may be an object image having an age or a physical condition similar to a user jogging in a field or a river, that is, an avatar image. At this time, it is possible to simultaneously display the avatar image and the user image so as to enjoy the exercise together or play the game.

Next, the user's exercise posture is recognized (S330). Here, the motion attitude recognition can be recognized using a captured image or a motion recognition function using a 3D depth camera.

Next, the recognized motion attitude is compared with the standard motion attitude stored in the storage unit in step S330 (S340).

Next, a posture correction signal according to the comparison result of step S340 is output (S350). Here, the posture correcting signal can be output in various ways such as a notification message, an alarm sound, and an arrow, so that the user can easily recognize and correct his / her posture. For example, when a user performs a 'squad', as shown in FIG. 6, a comparison image is displayed together with "a note such as a knee does not exceed the tip of a foot", "a waist stands upright" Can be presented in the form of a balloon.

In addition, when the user takes a 'lunge' posture, the erroneous portion may be specifically displayed (indicated by a red line) along with a notification message of "wrong lunge posture "

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by outputting the calibration signal for calibrating the exercise attitude of the current exercise through the user terminal, that is, the user's own mobile phone or the exercise equipment in use, Can correct his or her posture without help.
