The heart rate measuring unit 112 measures the heart rate detected due to the health measuring device worn on the user, and provides the measured heart rate to the controller 110. On the other hand, in the operation of the present invention to be described later, the heart rate is measured by dividing before starting the exercise and after starting the exercise. However, the heart rate measuring unit 112 continuously measures the user's heart rate from the moment the health measuring device is worn on the body and notifies the control unit 110. On the other hand, the heart rate measuring unit 112 may be in close contact with the radial artery that is easy to measure the heart rate when the health measuring device is worn on the body. The blood glucose concentration measuring unit 114 receives blood provided by a user and measures the concentration of sugar contained in the blood and provides the blood to the controller 110. Hereinafter, the concentration of sugar in the blood is referred to as 'blood sugar concentration'. On the other hand, a method for measuring the blood sugar concentration made in the blood glucose concentration measuring unit 114 may be variously proposed, for example, a finger blood sampling measurement method may be used. The key input unit 116 is configured to receive the measurement information required for the health measurement from the user, and receives the measurement information input by the user's key operation and provides it to the control unit 110. In this case, the key input unit 116 may include a plurality of keys, and generate an electrical signal corresponding to a key pressed by a user and provide the same to the controller 110. The display unit 118 performs an operation of notifying the user of the current state of the health measuring apparatus under the control of the controller 110. That is, under the control of the controller 110 to display the desired exercise information or by the control of the controller 110 according to the improper exercise is displayed. In this case, although not shown in the drawing, the display unit 118 may be further provided with a configuration for generating a warning sound to inform that the improper movement is made separately. In the following description, it will be noted that the display unit 118 includes a meaning as a configuration for generating the warning sound. The memory unit 120 may provide the measurement information provided by the user, the appropriate exercise information corresponding to the heart rate measured by the heart rate measuring unit 112 and the blood glucose concentration measured by the blood glucose concentration measuring unit 114. Saving. In addition, the memory unit 120 stores a control program required for the controller 110 to perform overall control of the health measuring device, and predetermined exercise among exercise information stored by the control of the controller 110. The information is read and provided to the controller 110.

The control flow performed by the controller 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above is as shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, the control process performed by the controller 110 will be described briefly. After receiving the measurement information together with the measurement request by the user, measuring the pre-exercise heart rate and blood glucose level and then performing the appropriate exercise. It can be seen that the information is read from the memory unit, and the heart rate is measured after the user starts the exercise to determine whether proper exercise is performed corresponding to the read exercise information and recognize the user.

Hereinafter, an operation according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the above-described configuration.

First, the controller 110 monitors whether a user's measurement request is applied through the key input unit 116 in step 210 of FIG. 3. In this case, the measurement request refers to the health measurement request according to the present invention, the detection of the measurement request is made by whether or not to provide an electrical signal from the key input unit 116. On the other hand, it is preferable that the measurement request is made after the health measuring device is attached to the body.

If the measurement request is detected in step 210, the controller 110 proceeds to step 212 and requests a measurement mode selection and input of an age. An example of the method of selecting the measurement mode and requesting age may be performed by controlling the display unit 118 to display a message requesting the measurement mode selection and input of the age. The measurement mode is information required for differentiating an exercise type according to a user's health state. For example, there may be an item for diabetics and hypertension, an item for the elderly, an item for the obese, an item for the normal person, and the like. The controller 110 requests the selection of a measurement mode and input of an age, and then proceeds to step 214 to monitor whether desired information is input through the key input unit 116. Measurement mode selection information and age for monitoring the input are also input by the same procedure as the measurement request described above, and a detailed procedure thereof is omitted.

If it is determined in step 214 that the desired information is not input, the control unit 110 proceeds to step 216 and determines that the user requests to use the information previously used for health measurement as it is. That is, the controller 110 proceeds to step 216 to select the measurement mode and age measured previously.

If the desired information is input in step 214 or the existing information is selected as it is in step 216, the controller 110 proceeds to step 218 to measure blood glucose concentration and heart rate before exercise. At this time, the blood glucose concentration before exercise is measured by the blood glucose concentration measuring unit 114, the heart rate is measured by the heart rate measuring unit 112. The method for measuring the blood glucose concentration may be implemented in various ways as described in the above-described configuration. In addition, although the blood glucose concentration measuring unit 114 is illustrated in the drawing, the user inputs his or her blood glucose concentration through the key input unit 116 when considering the size of the health measuring device or considering a functional surface. It is also possible to implement this. In this case, there is an advantage that the configuration can be more simplified.

When the measurement of blood glucose concentration and heart rate is completed in step 218, the controller 110 proceeds to step 220 and displays appropriate exercise information through the display unit 118. In this case, the exercise information may mean exercise time, exercise amount, exercise intensity, etc. as a means for notifying information to be referred to when the user starts the exercise. Referring to the operation of displaying the exercise information in more detail, first, the controller 110 responds to the measurement mode and age provided in step 214 or step 216 and the blood glucose concentration and heart rate measured in step 218. The exercise information stored in the memory 120 is read. On the other hand, when the corresponding exercise information is read out, the controller 110 provides the read out exercise information to the display unit 118 so that the exercise information is displayed in a form that a user can see.

In addition, the control unit 110 proceeds to step 222 to measure the heart rate changed by the start of the exercise through the heart rate measuring unit 112 and proceeds to step 224. The controller 110 proceeds to step 224 and determines whether the exercise currently being performed by the user is appropriate based on the heart rate measured in step 222. The adequacy determination may be determined by comparing the relationship between the exercise information displayed in step 220 and the exercise information according to the heart rate measured in step 222. That is, if it is determined that the heart rate measured after the exercise is not appropriate for the required heart rate, it may be determined that the current exercise form is not preferable, and if the measured heart rate is determined to be suitable for the required heart rate, the current exercise form is preferable. Will be judged.

If it is determined in step 224 that the type of exercise currently in progress is not desirable, the controller 110 proceeds to step 226 to notify the user that an improper exercise is made through a warning sound. The notification method may be used as a message through the display unit 118, and although not shown in the drawing, it is also possible to use a sound, that is, a warning sound.

However, if it is determined that the proper exercise is being made or if the re-measurement is required after transmitting the warning sound, the controller 110 proceeds to step 228. The controller 110 proceeds to step 228 and then, if it is determined that the exercise is not finished, returns to step 222. Otherwise, the controller 110 proceeds to step 230. Whether the exercise is finished or not is determined by providing a corresponding information by the user by operating the key input unit 116 and a method of determining using the information measured by itself.

If the exercise is not finished, the step 222 to be performed will be performed by the same procedure as described above. However, when the exercise is ended and the process proceeds to step 230, the controller 110 reads out the appropriate exercise information by the last measured heart rate from the memory unit 120 and displays it through the display unit 118. The series of operations according to the invention is terminated.

On the other hand, in the above detailed description of the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the present invention measures whether the amount of exercise, intensity of exercise, and exercise time are appropriate for exercise according to physical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and elderly or obese or healthy self before exercise, heart rate, blood glucose level, etc. By alerting the user, the user has the advantage of adjusting the sensation / sensibility of the exercise to his physical condition.

In addition, there is an increased effect that the user can maintain a healthy body at all times by presenting to the user whether or not his fitness state and fitness of the exercise from time to time.
