Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

Industrial application fields

  The present invention relates to a communication function of an exercise device such as a training bike and a measurement device such as a pedometer scale and a method of using the communication function.

  Exercise equipment and measuring equipment are monotonous and difficult to continue and difficult to obtain.

  In Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-036315, only a privilege is granted at a partner company or store.

  There has been a problem that errors and intentional differences occur because the physical results such as exercise results, blood pressure and pulse are manually entered on the WEB screen and self-reported.

  There was no system that automatically displayed personal results on the web.

  There was no system that automatically displayed rankings among other members.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  The only encouragement to exercise was the devil's motivation, and there was a problem with no support.

  In the patent application publication 2003-036315, since it is only granting the privilege in the company or store which has partnered, it was ambiguous as motivation. Needless to say, it is necessary to visit and use other companies and stores. There are also problems that only get products and points that you don't want.

  Provide a system that can automatically collect and store exercise information and physical information instead of manually inputting them from a personal computer.

  Provide a system that gives cashback or points, services, preferential treatment and awards to individual members in accordance with the achievement of exercise and physical targets.

  Provided is a postpaid exercise incentive system that bills a reduced amount in accordance with the achievement of exercise and the target numerical value of physical information.

  Provide a system that collects and aggregates exercise information, physical information, etc. of individual members and displays them in a list on the WEB.

  Provide a system that collects rankings among other members, aggregates them, and displays them as a list.

Means for solving the problem

  The program in the headquarters server automatically collects and stores the information when the member uses exercise equipment or measuring equipment via the Internet, public line or mobile phone. Or capture and save data via memory.

  The program in the headquarters server is converted into money, points, or benefits. The headquarters gives members a cashback or reductions, points, services and preferential treatment, and awards.

  The program in the headquarters server converts it into a monetary amount. The headquarters will charge the members for reduced membership fees at a later date.

  The program in the headquarters server displays the exercise achievement amount and physical information on the WEB.

  Other members' data is displayed on the WEB in a table, graph or ranking.

Action

  Since the headquarters system obtains member information from exercise equipment and measurement equipment through various communication means and returns benefits according to the results, it gives encouragement to exercise.

Since the exercise achievement amount and the physical information are displayed on the WEB, it becomes an indication of exercise and dietary restrictions.

  Other members' data is displayed on the WEB in tables, graphs and rankings, which encourages exercise and dietary restrictions.

  In FIG. 1, the exercise equipment 3 and the measurement equipment 5 send information to the head office system via the memory and the communication means 2.

  In FIG. 2, the head office system cashback calculation program converts the achievement values of exercise and physical information into monetary amounts.

  In FIG. 3, the head office performs cash back and the like.

  In FIG. 2, the headquarters system WEB creation program displays the achievement values of exercise and physical information on the WEB.

The invention's effect

  When using the Internet, a public line, or a mobile phone, all data is collected at the headquarters by simply exercising without being aware of the work of collecting and sending the data to the headquarters. It is an incentive to exercise because you can get benefits such as awards and awards.

  Since data such as daily exercise amount, pulse and blood pressure can be confirmed on the WEB, it is a guideline for exercise and dietary restrictions and is also an incentive.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the ranking within the member can be understood on the WEB, it is encouraged for exercise and dietary restriction. You can also receive an award and be even more encouraged.
