Description

Diet simulation system using 3D character in internet environment

Modern people exercise to keep their bodies healthy, especially those who are overweight try to lose their weight by reducing the amount of food they eat or by strenuous exercise. People who are overweight gain diet or exercise to get the part they want. They also pay a certain amount of money to go to aerobics schools or sports clubs (eg, health clubs), or buy video tapes for weight control and body care. However, those who make such efforts often lose weight due to time or economic reasons. Accordingly, on the Internet, a diet-related site that allows you to diet while reducing time and money has been introduced to introduce diet and various exercises. However, the introduction of simple diet and regular exercise is questionable as to whether the Internet user can actually achieve the desired effect. In addition, the existing offline diet method or simply introduced online diet method can be effective if you have your own efforts and will, but similar efforts to reduce weight and body weight more effectively An online diet method that can be managed is desired.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to allow an internet user to connect to the Internet, select a desired character model, and feel as if they are in the real world, having fun and effectively losing weight. It is to provide an online diet simulation system.

Still another aspect of the present invention provides a method for dieting, comprising: inputting client information, displaying a character model, selecting a character model, inputting predetermined information about the character model, And changing the character model information by reflecting the information of the character model.

Based on this configuration, it is expected that if the Internet users make an effort, they will be able to diet efficiently.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of selecting a character.

In order to proceed with a diet on the Internet, the user first selects a character that he or she wants to model, and inputs a character name, type, basic body information (height, weight, activity level), sex, and a diet target value. The selected character is stored and managed in the database 1004 together with the inputted information.

In FIG. 2, the flow chart on the left side is the steps performed by the Internet user, and the flow chart in the middle is the step in which the system proceeds based on each step performed by the user, and the flow chart on the right shows the operation of the database according to the system. The process on phase 2 is the same for Figures 3, 4, and 5). Referring to the character selection process on the user side, the user enters the server address, enters the ID and password, and enters his personal information to register the character. Thereafter, when the character is selected and the character body characteristic information about the selected character is inputted, the character selection process is terminated.

The generation module of such a character will be described in detail with reference to a system and a database.

First, when an Internet user accesses the Internet and inputs a server address (S201), the system requests to input an ID and a password (S202). When the user enters the ID and password (S203), the system determines whether the user is registered (S204), and if the user is registered, transmits a diet simulation menu page to the user (S205). If the user is not registered, the system transmits a member registration screen to the user (S206). If the user inputs personal information on the member registration screen (S207), the system drives the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program (S208), and registers the member information in the database (S209). The user who inputs the personal information registers the character according to the driving of the CGI program (S210), and the system transmits a character type selection page to the user (S211). When the user selects a character from the transmitted selection page (S212), the system transmits a character information input page to the user (S213), and the user inputs character body characteristic information into the transmitted information input page (S214). When the system executes the CGI program (S215) and registers the character information in the database (S216), the character selection process is substantially terminated.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of a display module for showing a current state of body information of a character.

In FIG. 3, when the user accesses the site and inputs an ID and password, the current physical state of the character selected by the user is displayed, and information about the change in body, the Kcal value to be ingested today, the calories to be consumed by exercise, etc. Is given.

Referring to FIG. 3, the display module at the user side is described. A user inputs a server address, inputs a member ID and password, registers a character, checks character status information, and checks displayed character information.

This process is described in more detail in conjunction with systems and databases.

If the Internet user enters the server address and the member ID and password (S303 and S303), the system determines whether to register the character (S304), and if the character is not registered, transmits the character registration screen to the user (S306). If the user registers the character (S307) or if the character is already registered, the system drives the character registration CGI program (S305), and registers the character information in the database (S308). The user may check character status information according to the character registration CGI program running (S309), and the system drives a character search CGI program after the character registration CGI program, and extracts information about the character from the database at this time. In operation S311, the character status display page is transmitted to the user based on the information. Then, the user can check the transmitted character information on the screen (S313).

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of an input module for inputting food intake to a character.

The user inputs exercise information and food intake information which are periodically or temporarily performed on the character. When describing the food intake input, the user selects a food category such as Table 1 and Table 2, selects an item of the food ingested by the user, and inputs breakfast / lunch / evening classification and serving intake, and then the corresponding user ID. Record and keep food information in the database.

Table 1

number Food category One rice 2 Bread, Confectionery 3 Cotton dumplings 4 Porridge, soup 5 Soup, soup 6 Steaming 7 Steamed food 8 Roasting 9 Before and after 10 Stir-fry 11 Stewed 12 Tempura 13 Herbs, non-invasive 14 Kimchi 15 Flow 16 Salted fish 17 Pickles 18 Spices 19 Milk and Dairy Products 20 Beverages, Alcohol, Tea 21 Fruits 22 Single food 23 Rice Cakes 24 Etc 25 Calorie

TABLE 2

number Main Category Classification of food One Rice Rice 2 Grain Rice 3 Vegetable Rice 4 Bibimbap / Fried Rice 5 Rice bowls and soup 6 Seaweed rice

At this time, the selected food classification and items are already organized in the database so that the user can easily select them, and it supports how to record and enter the favorite diet in advance and enter them using the diet organized by kcal units. The food input flow diagram is shown in FIG. 4.

Referring to Figure 4 describes the input module for food intake input from the user side, the user enters the server address, the member ID and password, select the food intake input to enter the food service information. Then check the food intake record information, the food intake record information is displayed on the screen.

This process is described in more detail in conjunction with systems and databases.

When the Internet user enters a server address (S402), enters a member ID and password (S403), the system receives information on the character status from the database (S404), and sends a character status display page to the user (S405). ), The user selects a food intake input (S406). When the user selects the food intake input, the system receives information about food from the database (S407), transmits a food intake information input page to the user (S408), and accordingly, the user inputs the food intake information (S409). ). After inputting the food intake information of the user, the system drives the food input information processing CGI program (S410), and performs a program reflecting the change in the calorie calculation processing CGI program and the character model (S412 and S413). At this time, the system stores the food intake information in the database when the input information processing CGI program is driven (S411), and stores the changed character in the database (S414) when executing the program reflecting the change in the character model. The user inputs the food intake information and then checks the food intake record information (S415), and then the system drives the food intake information search CGI program (S416), and receives information about the food intake record from the database ( S417), the food intake information search result page is transmitted to the user (S418), and thus the user can view the food intake record information on the screen (S419).

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of an input module for inputting a motion to a character.

In the exercise information input, after selecting the exercise type as shown in Table 3, selecting the item of the exercise, and entering the exercise time, the exercise performance information is recorded / stored in the database like the food intake information.

TABLE 3

Strength level Activity form Energy consumption (kcal / kg / day) Very weak Sitting or standing activity, figure trading, driving, lab work, typing, cooking, playing cards, playing musical instruments 3130 Weakness Walking 2.5 to 3 mph from the surface, garage work, all companies engaged, carpentry, restaurant sales, house cleaning, babysitting, golf, sailing, table tennis 3835 Middle aged man Walking from 3.5 to 4 mph, weeding, carrying load, cycling, tennis, dancing 4137 Strong man Climbing hills, cutting trees, digging, basketball, climbing, soccer 5044 Special occasions Professional or world class athletic practice 5851

Related literature: Washington, D., published by the National Academy Press. 10th edition, 1989, owned by National Academy of Sciences, fits with recommended diet.

When the exercise information is input, the exercise schedule may be input as a schedule so that regular exercise may be performed, and the exercise may be scheduled. 5 is a flowchart for inputting exercise information.

Referring to FIG. 5, when an input module for exercise input is input to a character at the user side, a user inputs a server address, a member ID and a password, selects an exercise input, and inputs exercise performance information. Then, when the exercise performance record information is checked, the exercise performance record information is displayed on the screen.

This process is described in more detail in conjunction with systems and databases.

When the user inputs a server address (S502), and enters a member ID and password (S503), the system receives information on the character status from the database (S504) and transmits the character status display page to the user (S505). When the user selects the exercise input (S506), the system receives information about the exercise from the database (S507), and transmits the exercise information input page to the user (S508). Then, when the user inputs the exercise performance information (S509), the system drives the exercise performance information processing CGI program (S510) and executes programs reflecting the change in the calorie calculation processing CGI program and the character model (S512 and S513). ). At this time, if the system drives the exercise performance information processing CGI program, the exercise performance information is recorded in the database (S507), and when the system executes a program reflecting the change in the character model, the character is changed and stored in the database accordingly. S514). As the system executes a program reflecting the change in the character model, the user may check the exercise performance recording information (S515). After that, the system drives the exercise performance information search CGI program (S516), extracts information about the exercise performance information from the database (S517), and transmits the exercise performance information search result page to the user (S518) based on this. The user may view the exercise performance recording information on the screen (S519).

The relationship between calories and body weight for food intake is reflected based on the calories generated from the three major calories in the body (Table 4) and the physiological calorie value (Table 5) to which the body's absorption rate is applied.

Table 4 Calorie generated by three calories in human body

protein 5.65-1.30 = 4.35 kcal / g (exposed by some incomplete combustion) Fat 9.45 kcal / g carbohydrate 4.1 kcal / g

Table 5 Physiological Calorie Values

protein 4.35 × 92/100 = 4.002 kcal / g Fat 9.45 × 95/100 = 8.97 kcal / g carbohydrate 4.1 × 98/100 = 4.018 kcal / g

6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of a calculation processing module for calculating calories of food ingested and performed by a character.

The module which calculates the calories of the food and the exercise performed by the user's character and reflects it in the body information of the character is a calculation processing module.

Referring to Fig. 6, the user accesses the Internet, accesses the relevant server, enters a member ID and password, and then enters food intake information. The system then calculates the daily calories needed for the diet by calculating the member's daily calories and calculates the calories of the input food. Based on this, the calorie value is converted into g units and reflected in the character weight value, the change value is stored in a database, and then the weight change value is applied to the character model.

An example of how to apply this is as follows.

Standard weight calculation method: (key-100) × 0.9

Daily calorie calculation method: {standard weight + (standard weight-real weight) / 4} × activity value

Daily calorie calculation for diet: Daily calories-(400 ~ 500)

For example, if a person has height = 168 cm, weight = 80 kg, secondary activity = 35,

Standard weight is (168-100) × 0.9 = 61.2 kg,

The daily calories needed is {61.2 + (61.2-80) / 4} × 35 = 1977.5 kcal,

The daily calories for the diet would be 1977.5-(400 to 500) = 1477.5 to 1577.5 kcal.

For example, if a person's actual daily calorie input is 1500, 1977.5-1500 = 477.5 kcal, which means that the person lost 4.77 kcal a day. If you convert this to g,

Protein, fat, carbohydrate intake rate of the above people

16: 11: 73 → 76.4: 52.5: 348.6 (kcal),

76.4 / 4 = 19.1g, 52.5 / 9 = 5.8g, 348.6 / 4 = 87.2g,

In the end, 19.1 + 5.8 + 87.2 = 112.1 g is lost per day (total: 112.1 g / day).

The weight lost or increased per day calculated by the above calculation method is reflected in the weight data of the basic body information of the character model. The model that is displayed closest to the weight data among the weight-specific types of the corresponding model is displayed on the screen. Therefore, if the character model succeeds in the diet, the weight is controlled and the body is much slimmer visually.

In the present invention, if the Internet user applies similarly in reality, if the effort is made, the effect of the diet can be much higher in terms of time and economics than the existing offline diet method. It can be much easier to get.
