JP 2003-245389 A JP 2005-267179 A JP 2002-306633 A JP 2000-288144 A JP 2003-85266 A

  The techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 set or adjust the amount of exercise in the exercise equipment based on previous exercise or training records, but the physical condition of the exerciser who is the user is constantly changing. Even if the same exercise is performed or the exercise menu is optimally derived in advance, there is a risk of overloading the case, and in the worst case, the physical condition may be lost.

  The technique described in Patent Document 4 is intended to shorten the exercise time or reduce the load on the exercise equipment depending on the physical condition such as pulse and blood pressure. We do not take measures such as hydration, rest, stop exercise.

  Furthermore, even if data collection control is possible to feed back the exercise results of the day to the exerciser when all exercises are completed, the physical condition data such as blood pressure that changes during the day of exercise and the amount of water consumed There is no data collection control to provide exercisers with time-series records such as calorie consumption or caloric intake. In this respect, there was a lack of comprehensive health management data.

  In addition, the number of exercisers in the facility changes from moment to moment, and in order to check whether the exercise equipment is in use or empty, the technique described in Patent Document 5 uses the exercise equipment in use status. However, whenever the exerciser shifts from using a specific exercise device to using the next exercise device, it cannot be checked while using the next exercise device. Each time, it is necessary to move to the host computer and check the usage status.

  An object of the present invention is to enable exercise to be performed while performing comprehensive health management such as notifying the user of an instruction for avoiding a situation in which the physical condition is changed when the physical condition of the user changes.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a management device that connects an exercise device and a physical condition data measuring device by a communication means, and transmits / receives information between the exercise device and the physical condition data measuring device, the exercise device Personal identification means for identifying the user of the physical condition data measuring device, exercise history recording means for collecting and recording the exercise history information of the user via the communication means, and measured by the physical condition data measuring device Based on the physical condition data recording means for collecting and recording the physical condition data information of the user via the communication means, and the exercise history information and the physical condition data information of the user, continuation of exercise or physical condition management Physical condition management determining means for determining which of the actions is appropriate, and physical condition indicating the content determined by the physical condition management determining means Characterized by comprising a notification unit for notifying a management instruction information to the user, the.

  According to the present invention, exercise continuation or physical condition management behavior is determined based on exercise history information and physical condition data information, for example, physical condition management instruction information such as exercise stoppage, rest acquisition, hydration, physical condition measurement, etc. Therefore, even if the physical condition changes from moment to moment, the situation that the physical condition is lost can be prevented, and the user can perform exercise while performing comprehensive health management.

The member management structure 81 exists for each member who is an exerciser who has entered the building, and is data for managing all exercise contents and health status in the fitness club. Each member management structure 81 is composed of a member name Member-Name, a member ID Member-ID, a member address Member-Address, a member Tel number Member-Tel, a pointer to the physical condition data management structure at the time of entrance, First-Conditionp, The structure is a pointer EX-Informationp to the exercise history management structure and a pointer Nextp to the next member management structure. Here, the pointer indicates (points to) a storage location (address) of another related structure. For example, the content of the pointer Nextp to the member management structure is an address where the member management structure corresponding to the next exerciser is stored. As indicated by the arrows in FIG. 8, the member management structure 81b can be accessed by the pointer Nextp to the member management structure 81 next to the member management structure 81, and further to the member management structure next to the member management structure 81b. The member management structure 81c can be accessed by the pointer Nextp.

  An example of the member management structure 81 is shown in FIG. When a member enters, the member ID, which is the unique ID of the member's IC tag, is read by the IC tag reader 16 connected to the host computer 1, and the member name, member ID, address, tel number, exercise created in advance A record matching the member ID is searched from a member information management DB (DB is a database) in which information such as a history management file name is recorded, and expanded into a member management structure on the memory. The example of FIG. 12 is an expanded example when Hanako Yamada whose member ID is 0123-456-789 has entered the building. The member name, member ID, address, tel number, and pointer are expanded. In addition, the exercise history management file name is recorded in the member information management DB. In the example of FIG. 12, Hanako Yamada's exercise history management file name is MemberFile1, so that the exercise history management file can be accessed. .

  Returning to FIG. 8, the physical data management structure 82 is pointed to by the pointer First-Conditionp to the physical condition data management structure when entering. The physical condition data management structure 82 is data that measures and stores the physical condition of the day when entering the building. The heart rate Heartbeat, systolic blood pressure Cont-Bpressure, and diastolic blood pressure Exp-Bpressure. Based on this data, changes in physical condition can be detected using physical condition data before exercising at the time of admission.

The pointer EX-Informationp to the exercise history management structure in FIG. 8 indicates the storage location (arrow 91) of the exercise history management structure described below.
The configuration of the exercise history management structure 83 is shown in FIG. The exercise history management structure 83 is data for managing all exercise contents and health status in the fitness club for one day. The structure of the exercise history management structure 83 consists of the implementation date yymmdd, the entry time Enter, the exit time Exit, the exercise menu pointer Ex-P, the exercise data structure pointer Ex-Data, and the next exercise history management It is a structure called a pointer Next-Exp to the structure.

  As shown by the arrows in FIG. 9, the exercise history management structure 83b can be accessed by a pointer Next-Exp to the exercise history management structure next to the exercise history management structure 83, and the exercise history management structure 83b is next. The exercise history management structure 83c can be accessed by the pointer Next-Exp to the exercise history management structure.

  The exercise menu pointer Ex-P points to the exercise menu data 84. The exercise menu data 84 is the contents of the exercise menu for the day determined at the time of admission. For each exercise, the device name, Consists of data on the execution flag, scheduled execution time, and load setting. The device name is, for example, device C, etc., the completed flag is “done” for the exercise performed, the scheduled execution time is the originally scheduled exercise time, and the load setting indicates whether the exercise is weak or strong. Register with etc.

The pointer Ex-Data to the exercise data structure indicates a storage location (arrow 92) of the exercise data structure described below.
The structure of the exercise data structure is shown in FIG. The exercise data structure is data that records the contents of each exercise device use, physical condition data measurement, or vending machine use. The head of the exercise data structure is an action type Instruction, and there are three types of identification codes as shown in FIG. Identification code 1 corresponds to the use of exercise equipment, identification code 2 corresponds to the use of health data measurement equipment (use of physical condition data measurement equipment), and identification code 3 corresponds to the use of vending machines. The structure of the exercise data structure differs depending on the identification code of the action type Instruction.

  First, the structure of the exercise data structure A (85, 87) corresponding to the use of the exercise device is composed of the action type Instruction (identification code is 1), the device type Machine, the device number Machine-Num, the start time Start-Time, and the end time. End-Time, device setting SetUp, calorie consumption Calorie, pointer to next exercise data Next-Dp. Equipment settings record the intensity of exercise load. The calorie consumption is calculated and recorded as calories consumed by the exercise.

  Next, the structure of the exercise data structure B (86) corresponding to the use of physical condition data measuring equipment consists of an action type Instruction (identification code is 2), an equipment type Machine, an equipment number Machine-Num, a heart rate Heartbeat, and a systolic blood pressure. Cont-Bpressure, diastolic blood pressure Exp-Bpressure, and a pointer Next-Dp to the next exercise data.

  Next, the structure of the exercise data structure C (88) corresponding to the use of the vending machine is composed of an action type Instruction (identification code is 3), an equipment type Machine, an equipment number Machine-Num, a purchased product number Purchase-Num, and an intake. It consists of a calorie Calorie and a pointer to the next exercise data Next-Dp. The calorie intake is the calorie when a purchased beverage or the like is consumed.

  As shown by the arrow in FIG. 10, the exercise data structure B (86) can be accessed by the pointer Next-Dp to the exercise data next to the exercise data structure A (85), and the exercise data structure B (86 The exercise data structure A (87) can be accessed by the pointer Next-Dp to the next exercise data of), and the exercise data structure can be accessed by the pointer Next-Dp to the next exercise data of the exercise data structure A (87). Field C (88) can access. The chain example in FIG. 10 uses exercise equipment in order of time (85), then uses physical condition measurement equipment (86), then uses exercise equipment (87), and uses vending machines. (88).

  When the member enters the exercise data structure, the past information is read from an exercise history management file created in advance and expanded on the memory. The structure of the exercise history management file is shown in FIG. Exercise history management files include heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure for entering and leaving the building, time, physical condition data recording, device type, settings, start time, end time, calorie consumption, automatic recording Consists of product number, number and calorie intake for vending machine usage records.

  The exercise data structure B corresponds to the physical condition data record, the exercise data structure A corresponds to the exercise record, and the exercise data structure C corresponds to the vending machine usage record.

  With this exercise data structure, not only the content of exercise equipment used by the member's exerciser, but also calorie consumption due to exercise, physical condition data during exercise, changes in physical condition, intake by using vending machines You can manage the health status of your exerciser from calories.

  When a member leaves the building, an exercise history, physical condition data history, and vending machine usage history are added to the exercise history management file from the exercise data structure recorded on that day. An example of the structure of the exercise history management file is shown in FIG. In the exercise history management file, records are added in the order of execution (in time series). In the example of FIG. 13, the admission time and physical condition data at that time are recorded in order from the top. Next, there is a record of exercise by device A, then a record of exercise by device B, and then automatic sales. There is a record of machine use, then there is a record of physical condition data, and there is a record of exercise by device C. The implementation date, entry time, and exit time are expanded or added in accordance with the exercise history management structure. The physical condition data record is expanded or appended to the exercise data structure B. The exercise record is expanded or appended to the exercise data structure A. The vending machine usage record is expanded or appended to the exercise data structure C. This allows you to manage the exercise history, physical condition data measurement equipment, and vending machine usage history of a specific member for that day in chronological order. Can manage the health status of members.

  Physical information management structure, exercise history management structure, exercise data structure, exercise menu, exercise history management file information, except for pointer contents and data identification code, corresponds to exercise history information To do. Means for the host computer 1 to store such exercise history information corresponds to exercise history recording means. In particular, each piece of information in the exercise data structure B excluding the pointer contents and the data identification code corresponds to the physical condition data information, and the means for the host computer 1 to store the physical condition data information is the physical condition data information. Corresponds to data recording means.

The data configuration has been described above.
Next, the operations of the host computer and the fitness system corresponding to the exerciser's behavior until the member's exerciser enters and exits will be described in time order with reference to FIG.

When the exerciser enters, for example, at the reception, the IC tag reader 16 connected to the host computer 1 reads the member ID of the IC tag of the exerciser who is a member (S101).
The host computer 1 secures the area of the member management structure, writes the read member ID, and assigns the address of the secured area of the member management structure to the register IP (S102).

  The exerciser measures physical condition data with the physical condition data measuring device 3. When the exerciser performs an operation such as inputting measurement start with the input unit 34 of the physical condition data measuring device 3, the physical condition data measuring device 3 reads the member ID of the IC tag of the exerciser with the IC tag reading unit 36. When the measurement is completed or the measurement end is operated with the input unit 34, the physical condition data measuring device 3 transmits the measurement result and the device number information together with the member ID to the host computer 1, and the host computer 1 measures the member ID and the measurement. As a result, the device number is received. Here, for example, heart rate and blood pressure are measured. If there is an alternative PDA (5), the PDA (5) reads the exerciser's member ID with the IC tag reading unit 56, displays the measured value input menu on the display unit 53, and the measured value is input from the input unit 54. Then, the measurement result and device number information are transmitted together with the member ID to the host computer 1, and the host computer 1 receives the member ID, measurement result, and device number (S103).

Thereby, an individual can be specified and managed, and the physical condition before the exercise is recorded, so that it can be compared with the physical condition during the exercise, and health management becomes possible.
Next, the host computer 1 stores the received heart rate and blood pressure value in IP → First-Conditionp (S104). Here, IP → First-Conditionp is data whose address is the contents of the pointer First-Conditionp of the structure whose address is the contents of the register IP. Here, the content of the register IP is the member management structure 81 of the corresponding member, and since the pointer First-Conditionp of the member management structure 81 points to the physical condition data management structure 82, IP → First-Conditionp is The corresponding member physical condition data management structure 82 is indicated.

  Next, the host computer 1 secures an area for the exercise history management structure, stores the address in IP → EX-Informationp, and stores the date and the entry time in yymmdd and Enter of the exercise history management structure, respectively. (S105).

Next, the host computer 1 secures an exercise menu area, and stores the address in IP → EX-Informationp → Ex-p (S106).
Next, when the host computer 1 accesses another member management structure pointed to by IP → Nextp and further accesses another member management structure pointed to by Nexp, the member management structure of the member who has entered the library is accessed. Therefore, the exercise data structure pointed to by EX-Informationp → Ex-Data of the member management structure is accessed, and another exercise data structure pointed to by Next-Dp is accessed. If the instruction of the exercise structure is identification code 1, that is, the exercise equipment is used, and the end time End-Time of this exercise structure is not recorded or the current time does not exceed the end time, the equipment number Machine-Num of this exercise structure Detects that the exercise equipment is in use, thus accessing all exercise data structures of all members who have entered the building, and out of all exercise equipment in this fitness system, The device type and device number are specified (S107). The host computer 1 displays on the display unit 13 the types and device numbers of exercise devices that are not being used.

Because of such a configuration, it is possible to know even when an exercise device that is not in use does not go to the installation location.
From this display, the exerciser decides the exercise schedule by consulting with an instructor from among the exercise equipment that is not in use and determining the first exercise or applying for other exercises to be performed. In addition, determine the time and load settings for each exercise by consulting with the instructor. By a predetermined operation of the host computer 1, the host computer 1 displays an exercise schedule input menu on the display unit 13, and each exercise menu is input by key input of the input / output unit 14. The host computer 1 stores the input device name, execution time, and load setting for each exercise in the exercise menu area pointed to by IP → EX-Informationp → Ex-P (S108).

  Next, the exerciser performs exercise equipment use, physical condition data measurement equipment use, or vending machine use (S109). Although the operation in this case will be described later, the host computer 1 stores the exercised content in the exercise data structure.

  Next, the exerciser finishes exercising on this day. For example, at the reception, the IC tag reader 16 connected to the host computer 1 reads the member ID of the IC tag of the member exerciser, and the host computer 1 A member management structure that matches the ID is searched, and its address is assigned to IP (S110).

Next, the host computer 1 stores the current time in the exit time of the exercise history management structure pointed to by IP → EX-Informationp → Exit (S111).
Next, the host computer 1 accesses the exercise data structure pointed to by IP->EX-Informationp-> Ex-Data, and then accesses the next exercise data structure pointed to by Next-Dp to exercise this member for the day. Exercising information that shows the contents of exercise by accessing all data structures, physical condition data measurement information from using physical condition data measurement equipment, eating and drinking information from using vending machines, consumption / calorie intake information from using exercise equipment and vending machines The fitness report described in time series is printed by the printing device 17. Members leave with a printed fitness report.

  Here, an example of a fitness report is shown in FIG. The date of entry, entry time, and exit time are recorded, and physical condition data measurement information at the time of entry is recorded. Next, the exercise time on device A is recorded as 30 minutes and the load setting is weak, and the calorie consumption (right end) corresponding to this exercise is recorded. Next, there is physical condition data measurement information and exercise information. Next, it is recorded that product number 5 is purchased as eating and drinking information by using a vending machine, and calorie intake (right end) is recorded corresponding to this product. . The calories are deducted and summed, and that day, 800 kcal was consumed, converted to food intake, and recorded as 5 liters of rice.

  As a result, the fitness system can notify the exerciser or instructor of the exerciser's implementation history for the day in chronological order and notify the calorie value, so that the effect of the exercise can be confirmed objectively by numerical values. In addition, since the calorie value is converted into food, etc., notification can be made in an easy-to-understand manner.

Although not shown, when time is available during use of each device, it can be output as a record of break acquisition.
Further, the host computer 1 may have a mail transmission means, and a fitness report may be transmitted by mail to a pre-registered exerciser's mail address.

Next, the operations of the host computer 1 and the fitness system will be described with reference to FIG.
The operation corresponding to the use of the exercise device 2 will be described in the order of time. However, the physical condition data measuring device 3 and the vending machine 4 perform almost the same operation, and will be described with supplementary explanation.

  In the exercise device 2 that is not in use, the IC tag reading unit 26 of the exercise device 2 is connected to the member's IC tag when the start of exercise is input from the input unit 24 or the exerciser's IC tag approaches the predetermined distance. The member ID is read (S141).

The exercise device 2 transmits the read member ID, device type, and device number to the host computer 1 (S142), and the exercise is started (S143).
The host computer 1 receives the member ID, device type, and device number transmitted by the exercise device 2 in S142 (S121). Here, information received by the host computer 1 corresponds to use start information. In addition, the host computer 1 includes information on the start of exercise including information on the exercise start time from the exercise device 2, the physical condition data measurement start time from the physical condition data measurement device 3, or the vending machine use start time from the vending machine 4. May be sent and received.

The host computer 1 searches for a member management structure that matches the received member ID, and stores the address in the register IP (S122).
The host computer 1 determines the device type (S123), and if it is an exercise device, secures an area for the exercise data structure A (S124) .If it is a physical condition data measurement device, the host computer 1 determines the exercise data structure B. An area is secured (S125), and if it is a vending machine, an area for the exercise data structure C is secured (S126).

  The host computer 1 stores the address of the exercise data structure in which the area is secured in S126 in the register TP, and stores this address in the pointer of the exercise data structure of IP → EX-Informationp → Ex-Data. (S127).

  When the device type is an exercise device, the host computer 1 stores the exercise device use identification code 1 in TP → Instruction. Store the device type from TP to Machine. Here, as the device type, a device constituting the fitness system may be registered in advance, and the device type may be obtained from the device number and stored. The received device number is stored in TP → Machine-Num. Store the current time in TP → Start-Time. The contents of the load setting of the exercise menu indicated by IP → EX-Informationp → Ex-P are stored in TP → SetUp (S128).

  In the exercise device 2, when the exercise end time is reached and the exercise ends, or when the exercise end button is operated from the input unit 24 of the exercise device 2 (S144), the exercise device 2 receives the member ID and the exercise end. Information is transmitted to the host computer 1 (S145).

  Here, although not shown, when the device type is the physical condition data measuring device 3, the physical condition data measuring device 3 is assigned with the member ID when the measurement is finished or the measurement end operation is performed from the input unit 34. Information on the measurement result is transmitted to the host computer 1. If the device type is the vending machine 4, the member ID and the purchased product number are transmitted to the host computer 1. The exercise equipment, physical condition data measurement equipment or vending machine used by the exerciser at this time, or the PDA as an alternative, is called the relevant equipment, and this equipment and the host computer 1 store information. Send and receive.

  The host computer 1 receives the member ID and the exercise end information from the exercise device 2 (S129). Alternatively, the host computer 1 receives the member ID and measurement result information from the physical condition data measuring device 3. Alternatively, the host computer 1 receives the member ID and the purchased product number from the vending machine 4. Here, the information received by the host computer 1 corresponds to use end information. Moreover, you may transmit / receive use end information including the information of exercise end time, physical condition data measurement end time, and vending machine use end time.

  The host computer 1 stores the current time at the end time pointed by TP → End-Time, obtains the exercise time from the start time of TP → Start-Time, and sets the device type, load setting, exercise time from TP → Calorie. The result of calculating calorie consumption from is stored (S130). Although not shown, when the physical condition data measurement result information is received, the host computer 1 stores the measured values in TP → Heartbeat, TP → Cont-Bpressure, TP → Exp-Bpressure, and the purchased product number. When it is received, the purchased product number is stored in TP → Purchase-Num, and the calorie intake is stored in TP → Calorie. Here, the calorie intake stored in Calorie has a calorie table of the vending machine as shown in FIG. 6, and the host computer 1 holds the calorie intake corresponding to the purchased product, and uses that value. . In the example of FIG. 6, when the purchased product is canned coffee, intake calorie 60 kcal is obtained. An example of the operation of the vending machine at this time is shown in FIG. The left side of FIG. 5 is an example of a display screen of a vending machine or an alternative PDA. In this example, it is a product selection menu, and may be a menu downloaded from the host computer 1 in advance. Suppose you have selected No. 5 canned coffee from 6 types of products. The PDA transmits to the host computer 1 that number 5 has been selected. The host computer 1 obtains that canned coffee corresponds to 60 kcal from the vending machine calorie table of FIG. 6 and stores it as calorie intake.

Thereby, the calorie consumption can be subtracted from the calories consumed in the exercise, and the effect of the exercise can be shown.
In S130, when the exercise content is received and calorie consumption is calculated from TP to Calorie, the host computer 1 holds in advance a calorie consumption table for each exercise device setting as shown in FIG. Yes. In the example of FIG. 18, the calorie consumption per minute is 8 kcal when the load setting is strong in the device A, 5 kcal when the load setting is medium, and 2 kcal when the load setting is weak. Regarding the devices B and C, the calorie consumption value per minute can be obtained corresponding to each load setting. If the calorie consumption per minute is multiplied by the exercise time (in minutes), the calorie consumption for this exercise can be calculated. If the load setting is weak on device B, and if the exercise time is 15 minutes, 75kcal is obtained by multiplying 5kcal by 15 minutes. Thus, the means for converting to the calorie consumption value corresponds to the calorie conversion means. Thereby, the effect of exercise can be shown numerically and objectively.

  Further, the host computer 1 converts the calorie consumption value into the intake amount of food and beverage. The host computer 1 holds a calorie conversion table as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 4, 1 rice meal corresponds to 160 kcal, and thus, for example, 320 kcal corresponds to the calorie value of ingesting 2 rice meals. Further, since one beer corresponds to 140 kcal, for example, it can be seen that 280 kcal corresponds to the calorie value of two beers. In addition, if the calorie consumption value is a negative calorie value, the intake calorie value is a positive calorie value, and a value obtained by subtracting or summing them is referred to as a calorie total value. For example, when the calorie consumption is 300 kcal and the intake calorie value is 200 kcal, the total calorie value is −100 kcal.

  Returning to FIG. 15, the host computer 1 transmits information calculated by calculating the calorie consumption value of the exercise and the amount of the food drink, etc., to the device currently used, that is, the exercise device 2 (S131). When the calorie intake of the purchased product is obtained, the calorie intake value is transmitted to the device currently used, that is, the vending machine 4.

The device currently in use receives the information converted into the calorie consumption value and the amount of food and beverage from the host computer 1, and displays it on the display unit (S146).
Next, the host computer 1 determines the next device from the calorie consumption and the physical condition data measurement result, and transmits this instruction information to the device currently in use (S132). Receives the instruction information from the host computer 1, and displays the instruction information on the display unit (S147). The operation of S132 and S147 will be described next.

  FIG. 16 shows that when the host computer 1 receives information on whether the exercise device 2 has finished exercising or the physical condition data measuring device 3 has finished measuring, or the vending machine 4 has purchased a product, the exerciser next takes the information. Action (processing) to be performed, that is, whether to exercise with an exercise device, measure physical condition data with a physical condition data measuring device, buy beverages etc. with a vending machine and ingest, or which device should be used The operation of notifying the exerciser, for example, by the host computer 1 determining and displaying an instruction is shown.

  Host computer 1 stores the value of IP → EX-Infomationp → Ex-Data in register TP, TP points to the exercise data structure, and stores the value of IP → Ex-Information → Ex-P in register EP EP stands for exercise menu. The value of IP → First-Conditionp is stored in the register CP, and indicates the physical condition data management structure when entering (S161).

  The host computer 1 accesses the next exercise data structure pointed to by TP → Next-Dp, and then accesses the next exercise data structure pointed to by Next-Dp to extract all the values of Calorie. (When entering the building) The calories from the measurement of physical condition data to this point are summed and stored in the register CAL (S162).

  Similarly, the host computer 1 sequentially accesses the exercise data structure pointed to by TP → Next-Dp, and stores the address of the exercise data structure corresponding to the implementation of the last device use in the register LTP (S163). .

  Next, the host computer 1 makes a determination in a check as shown in FIG. 19 from the total calorie value and the physical condition data, and notifies the instruction. The determination conditions in FIG. 19 may vary depending on the exerciser's gender, age, physique, physical fitness, and the like, but here, the determination conditions in FIG. 19 are used. The instruction content in FIG. 19 corresponds to the physical condition management action. The data including the instruction content together with the instruction to continue the scheduled exercise is referred to as physical condition management instruction information. The means for performing the determination corresponds to the physical condition management determining means. This operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  The host computer 1 determines whether the identification code of LTP → Instruction is 2, that is, whether the physical condition data measuring device was last used (S164). Finally, when the physical condition data measuring device is used (S164, YES), it is determined whether the calorie total value CAL is 500 kcal or more (S165). If the calorie total value CAL is not 500 kcal or more (S165, NO), no instruction is given. When the total calorie value CAL is 500 kcal or more (S165, YES), the latest measurement result of heart rate indicated by LTP → Heartbeat is the host computer 1's heart rate measurement at the time of admission indicated by CP → Heartbeat. It is determined whether or not the result exceeds 130% (S166). If the latest heart rate does not exceed 130% of the heart rate at the time of admission (S166, NO), no instruction is given. If the latest heart rate exceeds 130% of the heart rate at the time of admission (S166, YES), an instruction message to stop exercise is transmitted to the device currently in use (S167). This corresponds to the instruction content of the fourth check in FIG.

  If the last device used is not a physical condition data measuring device in S164 (S164, NO), the host computer 1 determines whether or not the calorie total value CAL is 500 kcal or more (S168). If the calorie total value CAL is 500 kcal or more (S168, YES), a hydration instruction message is transmitted to the device currently in use (S169). This corresponds to the instruction content of the tertiary check in FIG. This instruction includes ingesting vending machine beverages and the like.

  When the calorie total value CAL is not 500 kcal or more in S168 (S168, NO), the host computer 1 determines whether the calorie total value CAL is 300 kcal or more (S170). When the value of the calorie total value CAL is 300 kcal or more (S171, YES), a break acquisition instruction message is transmitted to the device currently in use (S171). This corresponds to the instruction content of the secondary check in FIG.

  When the calorie total value CAL is not 300 kcal or more in S170 (S170, NO), the host computer 1 determines whether the calorie total value CAL is 200 kcal or more (S172). When the calorie total value CAL is 200 kcal or more (S172, YES), a physical condition data measurement instruction message is transmitted to the device currently in use (S173). When the calorie total value CAL is not 200 kcal or more (S172, NO), processing for determining the next exercise equipment is performed (S174). This process will be described later.

  In this way, instructions such as stop exercise, hydration, rest, physical condition data measurement, continuation of scheduled exercise are notified from the total calorie value and physical condition data, so you can exercise while managing the health status of the exerciser that changes every moment It is possible to provide a system that performs the above.

Next, the operation (S174) for determining the next exercise device when notifying the next exercise instruction from the calorie total value and the physical condition data will be described with reference to FIG.
Host computer 1, TP → Nextp refers to the member management structure, accesses the member management structure of all the members who have entered the building, accesses each exercise data structure, and detects the exercise equipment in use Then, the fact that it is in use is recorded in the in-use flag of the exercise equipment use table (S185). An example of the exercise equipment usage table is shown in FIG. For each device, it consists of the device type, device number, and in-use flag. In the example of FIG. 20, it can be seen that the device numbers A-002 and B-002 are in use, and other devices are not in use.

  Next, the host computer 1 points to the exercise menu in the register EP, reads the exercised flag of the exercise menu, and searches for an exercise that has not been recorded as having been executed (S186).

If there is no unexecuted exercise (S187, NO), the host computer 1 transmits all exercise end messages to the device currently in use (S188).
If there is an unexecuted exercise (S187, YES), the host computer 1 checks whether an exercise device corresponding to the device name of the unexecuted exercise is in use (S189). If the corresponding exercise device is not in use (S189, YES), the device number of the exercise device that is not in use is transmitted to the device currently in use (S190).

  If the corresponding exercise device is in use (S189, NO), the host computer 1 searches for the next unexecuted exercise from the exercise menu pointed to by the register EP (S191), and there is an unexecuted exercise ( S192, YES) returns to S189 to check whether the corresponding exercise equipment is in use. If there is no unexecuted exercise (S192, NO), find the start time and scheduled execution time from the exercise devices that are checked as being in use, and obtain the device number of the device that will be available the earliest and currently using it An instruction message for acquiring a break is transmitted to the device currently in use until it becomes available (S193).

  In this way, at the end of use of the device currently in use, information converted to the calorie value and the amount of food and beverage, etc. is notified, instructions for health care based on the calorie total value and physical condition data, and the following The device will be notified of the availability of the device and will be displayed on the display of the device currently in use, so the effect of the exercise will be notified objectively and clearly, and for example, without returning to the reception The next action is notified and the facility can be used efficiently.
