1 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a configuration of a health center smart operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a health center smart operating system includes an operation server 110 and a health center 130. In the illustrated example, only one health center 130 is shown, but this is for the sake of brevity, and the operation server 110 according to the present invention can be connected to a plurality of health centers, Can provide services to the user.

The operation server 110 is a server system that provides a health center smart operation service according to the present invention. The operation server 110 may be, for example, a web server operating in a web environment of wired / wireless Internet. The operation server 110 registers the health center as a member, and receives and stores information from the health center. The information provided from the health center to the operation server 110 includes beacon information 111, coach information 113 employed by the health center, exercise equipment information 115 provided for use in the health center, User information 117 registered as a member, and the like. The operating server 110 can generate and manage position-specific scenarios 118 and exercise management information 119 on its own or with the assistance of the health center.

Here, the beacon information 111 may include a code that uniquely identifies each beacon, a code that uniquely identifies the health center where each beacon is installed, a code that uniquely identifies the location of the health center where each beacon is installed . The coach information 113 may include identification information of each coach employed by the health center, responsible user information, employed health center information, coach terminal identification information, and the like. The exercise equipment information 115 may include equipment information, usage information, installed health center information, and user information provided with usage methods for each exercise equipment. The user information 117 may include user identification information, user terminal identification information, user movement performance data, and the like. The location-specific scenario 118 includes one or more scenario data defining which information the server will provide to the user and / or the health center manager or coach in response to where the user is in the health center. The exercise management information 119 is information on a recommended exercise management program provided by each fitness center, a fitness management program customized for each user, or accumulated exercise performance data of each user, And may include information useful for management.

In the present invention, the fitness center 130 may be a kind of service shop that has the above-mentioned items and various fitness equipment to provide exercise-related services to users and / or employ a professional coach to help the user's exercise to be. A management console (a manager terminal, an administrator terminal, or a counter terminal) 131 used by an administrator who manages a health center or an employee who manages the health center is employed in the health center 130, A coach terminal 133 carried by a coach who is in charge of helping by counseling or advice, a beacon 135 installed or attached at a predetermined position in the health center, and a user terminal 137 carried by a user of the health center .

The management console, the manager terminal, the manager terminal, the counter terminal, the coach terminal and the user terminal may be a computing device such as a desktop computer, a handheld computer, a personal computer (PC), a tablet PC, a notebook PC, a smart phone, (Such as an application, a plug-in, a procedure, an instruction, an applet, and the like) that implements the features of the present invention can be installed and executed. These computing devices each include a client that can connect to the server and exchange data. The client may refer to the computing device itself, or may be a web page displayed by the browser application within the computing device, or an application (or app, application) running in the computing device.

In accordance with the present invention, the beacon 135 is configured to receive a unique beacon signal (i.e., beacon identification) to automatically sense the location of the user (i.e., the location of the user terminal 137) Information) at all times.

A beacon is a short range communication technology for mobile devices that is based on Bluetooth communication and allows users to be located within a range of about 50 to 70 meters from a beacon. The beacon is advantageous in that it is much longer than the transmission / reception range (about 20 cm) of NFC (proximity wireless communication) for contactless payment such as traffic card and ticket, low power consumption and low terminal cost . Furthermore, beacons are generally divided into BLE (Bluetooth low power) and hybrid methods, and there are also beacons using sound. A BLE-style beacon can output a signal when Bluetooth is turned on in a smartphone. In addition, smartphones have the advantage that they can be used as basic functions in iOS 7.1 or later and Android 4.3 or later. The hybrid beacon is a combination of BLE and high frequency, which can send out signals even when the Bluetooth of the smartphone is turned off. This is because the high frequency temporarily activates the app. It supports all Android operating systems and can be used for almost all terminals except for some older smartphones.

In the present invention, the user position sensing is accomplished by (1) providing a beacon at a specific location that is deemed meaningful within the health center area, so as to constantly broadcast a beacon signal within a zone of a predetermined size near the beacon, (2) A beacon signal is received from a beacon by a portable user terminal that is close to a beacon by a predetermined distance, and (3) the beacon signal is received by a user terminal, And a beacon signal to the server, and (4) the location of the user is detected by the server to be in the beacon position.

Since the intensity of the beacon signal is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the beacon, the weaker the broadcast beacon signal, the closer the user terminal is to the beacon, so that the beacon signal can be received. Therefore, by adjusting the intensity of the beacon signal, the distance between the beacon and the user can be adjusted. Since the location sensing range of the user can be changed according to the position of the health center, the intensity of the beacon signal broadcasted in each beacon can be adjusted according to the location of the beacon. For example, to know whether a user is present in a health center area (i. E., Entering or leaving a user), the beacon installed at the entrance of the health center may be detected to be detectable throughout the health center area, And may be provided at a plurality of positions. For example, a beacon installed in a counter, a coach, or a fitness equipment can be adjusted so that the beacon signal can be received by the user in the proximity of 1 to 2 m, for example.

As described above, the present invention detects the user location information within the health center 130 using the beacon 135. [ To this end, each beacon signal may include beacon identification information that uniquely identifies the health center and / or beacon. Alternatively, the beacon identification information may include a code that uniquely identifies each of the health center entrance, counter, changing room, coach, exercise equipment, and the like.

Further, the beacon 135 may be supplementarily provided with a human identification code, a one-dimensional or two-dimensional bar code readable by a machine, or a radio frequency identification (RFID) And may further include at least one. Here, the identification code recognizable by a person may be in the form of a serial number including numbers, characters, special characters, or the like. For example, such an identification code may be printed on the surface of the beacon 135 attached to the exercise device. In this case, even if the user has a terminal that does not have a beacon receiving function, if the user sees the identification code and inputs it to his or her user terminal, the user terminal transmits the identification code together with the user identification information to the remote server . And may be used as beacon identification information that uniquely identifies each beacon. On the other hand, the beacon identification information may be printed on the surface of the beacon 135 in the form of a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code, or may be attached in the form of an RFID tag. In this case, the user terminal can photograph the QR code, read the RFID tag, read the beacon identification information, and transmit it to the server.

Meanwhile, the beacon signal (i.e., beacon identification information) broadcast in the beacon 135 is received by the user terminal 137. [ The user terminal 137 may be a personal digital assistant (PDA) including one or more physical devices capable of installing and executing an application performing a predetermined function, such as a tablet PC, a smart phone, a smart watch, a head mount glass and / Device or system. For example, when the user terminal 137 is a smart phone, the user downloads and installs an application provided by the operation server 110 or the counter terminal 131, for example, in his smartphone, (E.g., a beacon signal) according to the present invention, and further function as a user terminal 137 that receives information by connecting to a remote server according to a received wireless broadcast signal (e.g., a beacon signal) .

The user terminal 137 may operate to automatically access the operating server 110 via the wireless Internet, for example, in response to receiving a predetermined beacon signal and reading the beacon identification information. The user terminal 137 connected to the operation server 110 receives the beacon signal and user identification information (for example, including the user identification number and / or the mobile phone number registered in the health center) uniquely identifying the user, (110).

Upon receipt of the beacon identification information and the user identification information from the user terminal 137, the operation server 110 inquires the already stored beacon information 111 and the user information 117 in response to this, The beacon location and the user in the located health center can be identified. Then, the operation server 110 regards the identified beacon location as the user location. Then, the operation server 110 inquires the scenario 118 by location, selects a predefined scenario linked with the currently received user location, and outputs the coach information 113, exercise instrument information 115 And the exercise management information 119 to transmit the related information to at least one of the counter terminal 131, the coach terminal 133 and the user terminal 137 of the identified health center.

Here, scenario by location 118 includes one or more predefined scenarios. For example, the location-specific scenario 118 allows a user client (i.e., a user client application running on a user terminal or a user terminal) to access health center usage information, a user's athletic performance, Exercise schedule information, exercise management information, health center announcements, today's exercise programs recommended by the health center, and the like. Alternatively, the location-based scenario 118 may include a fitness instrument scenario that provides the user client with a video representing the exercise device usage when the user is in a fitness center exercise facility use location. In another example, the location-specific scenario 118 provides user information to the healthcare center's administrative client (i.e., the administrative console application running on the management console or management console) when the user is at the counter location of the healthcare center Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > scenario. ≪ / RTI > As another example, the location-specific scenario 118 may include a coach (e.g., a coach client application) that provides user information to a coach client (i.e., a coach client terminal or a coach client application running on the coach terminal) when the user is at the coach location of the health center. Scenarios. Such scenarios may be defined by the administrator of the health center or defined and stored by the administrator of the operational server.

Further, the operation server 110 further provides input means (for example, an input form in a web page, a selection button, etc.) for inputting relevant data from the counter terminal 131, the coach terminal 133 and the user terminal 137 . In addition, the operation server 110 can update or modify the information stored in the data using the input data.

As described above, according to the present invention, the user of the health center can simply set up a health center (for example, a mobile application operating on a smart phone) that implements the process of the health center smart operation technology according to the present invention, A fitness center counter, a fitness center changing room, a fitness center coach, or a fitness center fitness equipment, health center notification information, exercise information, recommended exercise program, coach information, exercise equipment usage information, May be provided from a remote server. Accordingly, the user can enjoy the convenience of being able to receive information suitable for the position at his / her own terminal, without having to voluntarily perform any action at the health center, just by being present at a specific position.

A day in a health center operated by the health center smart operating system or its operating method according to the present invention as described above, a user, a health center counter employee, a health center coach, and a health center president, will be described below.

* User's day

When a health center user (hereinafter referred to as a member) enters the health center, a vibration will be heard from the cell phone held by the user and a message saying that the expiration date of the gym has remained one week and that there is a separate interview with the coach for the health check, With a picture of the coach. I checked the message and went to the counter to pick up my sweatshirt. The counter staff member called me "Hello OO member". I have been in the health center for a while but it feels good to take care of me. In the past, I would have been struggling to find membership in my wallet at the counter without saying anything, but when I get close to the counter, the attendance automatically takes place and I think it is a comfortable fitness center.

I went into the dressing room to change clothes. "Show yesterday's weight and a list of exercises to do today." When weighing with the scale, I feel better by missing 1kg. I go to the exercise room to change my clothes and prepare to work out. I get a message that "I need to find a coach". He approached me and greeted me. The coach smiled and said "Hello OO member" and he called me by name. I will detail my exercise style and the progress of my workout and check my health condition. I am just wondering how you know all of my names and my health status so many members. I feel good that I receive my personal training (PT) because I care for me very carefully. I tried to call the coach's name in the middle of the interview, but I can not remember the name. On his cell phone, his name, photo, and athletic career are shown. I quickly read the name of the coach, "OO coach" I had a friendly conversation. After completing the interview, I checked the "OO Coach Satisfaction" on my cell phone. I felt good and gave me the "peak".

I already finished the preparatory exercise and now I have to exercise in earnest. I looked at the "exercise list to do today" and sat down to the exercise equipment to do first. This exercise is new every time I ask a coach several times. I'm sorry to ask again. However, the mobile phone vibrates briefly and the use of a sitting exercise device automatically appears on the cell phone. Click on the video to explain the "posture and exercise method" that the coach learned. Closing the video screen, a screen showing "exercise set and break time" appears on the cell phone. As you can see on the screen, you have 60 seconds to complete the set in the middle of the set. In the "exercise list of today" to move on to the next exercise machine, the achievement of the exercise that we just made appears on the list. After completing the exercise for one hour, it seems that the power of the whole body is exhausted. I will go to the dressing room and take a shower. To take a break from the shower, sit on the sofa in the break room and check how much exercise you have achieved during that time. Looking at the change in weight through the graph, I feel like I'm still falling out. I took a break and passed the counter to go home. "OO member, thank you. I'll see you tomorrow. " I am in good mood, and a smile appears in my mouth.

* Counter Staff Day

Today, buses seem to be slower than usual. I walked all the way to the health center 's office with my step by step to avoid being late. When I enter the office, my office time is displayed on the monitor and there is a message saying, "Have a nice day today." I was sitting at the counter and ready to greet the members, and I was resting for a while, and OO coach was coming in. OO coach who is always late. Today is also late. After a while, the monitor displays "Member's name and basic information along with the member's picture". The door opens and the member comes in. I wake up and smile and say "hello OO member" and say hello. The member thinks "I knew my name" and gives me a nice greeting while showing a sense of surprise.

* Coach's day

Today is also late. I was late for work because I had a drink with my members yesterday. I missed my lunch spot a little bit yesterday, but the boss seemed to go to work and nag him again. The health center can use the beacon service to let the boss know when to leave, even if he or she is away from work. After all, the president came to see the "monitor on the counter" after he went to work. I feel a little relaxed after exercising lightly to relieve my mood. After a while, it was time for members to come in, so I washed lightly and went out to a fitness center exercise room with exercise equipment. Even though it was early morning, there were some members.

The member information is displayed on the "terminal" holding it. Look at the terminal and check the member's name and exercise status. Say hello to "OO member" and give some advice about exercise progress and health status. Members are encouraged to check their health status by calling their names, and they try to eat rice together in the evening. In the past, I would have known that I did not even know my member's name. I was in a good mood, too, and laughter grew.

I am walking around here and someone comes up looking at my face. 'Hut! Who 's a quick look at the monitor, "OO member who decided to check health status today" is. Hello "OO member" I laughed and said first. And I talked briefly about the decision to consult today. First, I called her name, and she seemed happy.

* President's Day

I had enough breakfast and went to the health center that I operated. The first thing you do when you go to work. Yesterday, "how much the members have come and gone," and "whether there was no complaint to the staff and the coach". Go to the computer on the counter at work and log in with "Administrator privileges". According to the changes of the members, the number of new members increased by 10 yesterday and the number of members became higher. Looking at the time zone that members do not use, they told the lady of the counter to ask new members to use this time zone much because there are not many people in this time zone. I also ordered one more device that I used most for the agency. OO coach is late today when we look at the employees' time of work. Yesterday, the monitor showed up at lunch time. I wanted to give my soul, but the members' satisfaction with the OO coach increased and I had to say a little lightly.
