Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise data management system for providing support information for exercise support to a user who exercises.

  JP 2006-164286 A [Patent Document 1] accumulates exercise history data and the like based on data including the number of steps of the user and provides information for instructing the user of appropriate exercise. A management system is disclosed.

  Recently, in order to promote the user's exercise, a pedometer is also proposed in which a game device that uses the pedometer result of the pedometer for the progress of the game is incorporated (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-301381 [Patent Document]. 2]).

JP 2006-164286 A JP 2007-301381 A

  However, it has been difficult for conventional exercise data management systems and exercise amount measuring devices such as pedometers to give users the will to continue exercise for a long period of time. In addition, it is difficult to increase the number of times the user accesses the server of the exercise data management system in order to input / output exercise information. For this reason, the exercise data management system cannot be fully utilized, and there is a problem that exercise management tends not to be performed properly.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an exercise data management system and a server for the management system that can increase the user's willingness to exercise.

  In addition to the above object, another object of the present invention is to provide an exercise data management system and a server for the management system that can promote the utilization of the exercise data management system.

  The exercise data management system of the present invention includes a management data storage unit, a support information providing unit, an application data storage unit, and an application execution unit as basic components. The management data storage unit acquires the exercise amount data from the exercise amount measuring device and stores it as a part of the management data necessary for health management. Examples of the momentum measuring device include a portable type momentum measuring device carried by the user such as a pedometer and a fixed type momentum measuring device that measures the amount of exercise of the user accompanying the exercise equipment. A typical portable type of momentum measuring device is a pedometer having a step counting function. Of course, it is possible to use a momentum measuring device that measures momentum from biological information such as the heartbeat and pulse of the user. The case where the user uses different types of momentum measuring devices is also included in the present invention. In the specification of the present application, the amount of exercise data corresponding to the amount of exercise is data that can be used to calculate an amount indicating the degree to which the user has moved the body. For example, if the momentum measuring device is a portable type of momentum measuring device having a step count measuring function, the measured number of steps itself is the momentum data. The “exercise amount data” includes any of measured data itself, aggregated exercise amount data obtained by aggregating the measured data at a predetermined period, and other data processed so that the amount of exercise can be known.

  The management data storage unit stores not only exercise amount data but also personal identification information for identifying the user. Of course, other information (for example, user's physical information, health status, etc.) may be stored in the management data storage unit.

  The support information providing unit supports the user's exercise based on the management data stored in the management data storage unit in response to the input of the request signal from the communication terminal operated by the user. Is provided to the communication terminal.

  Here, the communication terminal is a mobile phone, a personal computer, a PDA, or the like, and a portable type exercise amount measuring device having a communication function can also be used as the communication terminal. From another point of view, the present invention also includes a case where a portable type momentum measuring device is built in the communication terminal. The “request signal” is a request signal for requesting transmission of information from the communication terminal to the system. The “support information” is information useful for the user to continue the exercise, such as past exercise history and exercise menu.

  The application data storage unit stores an application (program) created for the purpose of promoting the user's willingness to exercise. And application execution has a function which makes a user use an application with a communication terminal.

  In the present invention, a game application that executes various events using points determined for each user is used as the application. Here, an event in a game application means an important event that occurs during the execution of the application. For example, an event is in progress such as “point determination processing”, “data search and data processing”, etc. It includes various important events that occur.

  The exercise data management system of the present invention includes a management data storage unit, a support information providing unit, an application data storage unit, and an application execution unit as basic components. The management data storage unit acquires the exercise amount data from the exercise amount measuring device and stores it as a part of the management data necessary for health management. Examples of the momentum measuring device include a portable type momentum measuring device carried by the user such as a pedometer and a fixed type momentum measuring device that measures the amount of exercise of the user accompanying the exercise equipment. A typical portable type of momentum measuring device is a pedometer having a step counting function. Of course, it is possible to use a momentum measuring device that measures momentum from biological information such as the heartbeat and pulse of the user. The case where the user uses different types of momentum measuring devices is also included in the present invention. In the specification of the present application, the amount of exercise data corresponding to the amount of exercise is data that can be used to calculate an amount indicating the degree to which the user has moved the body. For example, if the momentum measuring device is a portable type of momentum measuring device having a step count measuring function, the measured number of steps itself is the momentum data. The “exercise amount data” includes any of measured data itself, aggregated exercise amount data obtained by adding up the measured data at a predetermined period, and other data processed so that the amount of exercise can be known.

  The management data storage unit stores not only exercise amount data but also personal identification information for identifying the user. Of course, other information (for example, user's physical information, health status, etc.) may be stored in the management data storage unit.

  The support information providing unit supports the user's exercise based on the management data stored in the management data storage unit in response to the input of the request signal from the communication terminal operated by the user. Is provided to the communication terminal.

  Here, the communication terminal is a mobile phone, a personal computer, a PDA, or the like, and a portable type exercise amount measuring device having a communication function can also be used as the communication terminal. From another point of view, the present invention also includes a case where a portable type momentum measuring device is built in the communication terminal. The “request signal” is a request signal for requesting transmission of information from the communication terminal to the system. The “support information” is information useful for the user to continue the exercise, such as past exercise history and exercise menu.

  The application data storage unit stores an application (program) created for the purpose of promoting the user's willingness to exercise. And an application execution part has a function which makes a user use an application with a communication terminal device.

  In the present invention, an application that executes an event using a point determined for each user is used as the application. A “point” corresponds to a fund paid as a fee or cost required for executing a predetermined event in an application. In the present invention, the application is configured to display the event execution result and at least a part of the support information together on the same screen of the display screen of the communication terminal. In the present invention, since the points are determined based on the exercise amount data of the user, it is necessary for the user to exercise in order to acquire the points used in the event. According to the present invention, in order to see the result of the event, the opportunity for the user to access the system (opportunity for storing data in the system) is increased. In addition, since the event execution result and at least a part of the support information are displayed on the same screen, the possibility that the support information is viewed together with the event result is increased. As a result, the user is given an opportunity to be motivated to exercise or to consider changing the exercise menu based on the support information. As described above, according to the present invention, the execution of the application is accompanied, so that the user consciously performs the daily work of storing the exercise results. In addition, the rate of access to the exercise data management system and data storage from each user increases. As a result, according to the present invention, the exercise data management system can be effectively utilized.

  If the content of the application is an application created for the purpose of increasing the number of times that the user gives the momentum data to the management data storage unit and / or increasing the number of times the user sends the request signal, Any thing is acceptable. The purpose of exercise is to improve health and increase physical fitness. Therefore, the application is preferably an application that allows the user to imagine that exercise results in increased health or increased physical strength. For example, a virtual creature training application that nurtures a virtual creature (a creature that exists virtually on an application, not an actual creature) is suitable for causing a user to hold the above-described image. In an event that uses points in the virtual creature breeding application, the breeding state of the virtual creatures may be changed based on the points. In other words, a result that the growth of the virtual creature is fast when there are many points acquired by daily exercise, and the growth of the virtual creature is slow when there are few points is displayed. In this way, when the user sees the degree of growth of the virtual creature, the user has an opportunity to promote exercise motivation or to consider exercise menu changes.

  Note that the virtual creature training application assumes that the growth of one virtual creature has been completed when a predetermined point is accumulated, and then trains a new virtual creature, and the image of the virtual creature that has been grown within a predetermined period. It is preferable to display an image of the virtual creature that is being raised near at least a part of the support information. In this way, by confirming the number of virtual creatures that have been grown, the result of the exercise can be intuitively known. In this case, the predetermined period can be one month. The virtual creature training application can change the type of virtual creature to be trained each time the moon changes. In this way, the results of exercise can be visually confirmed on a monthly basis, and comparison with other months becomes easy. Moreover, since the enjoyment of users accessing the system increases, the number of accesses can be expected to increase.

  The virtual organism may be an animal or a plant. When the virtual organism is a plant, the virtual organism breeding application may be configured to reset the breeding of the virtual organism as a plant withered when the request signal is not continuously input for a predetermined number of days. it can. By seeing the plant wither as a penalty for lack of access, the user's awareness of continuation of movement and continuation of access increases.

  The present invention can also be understood as an exercise data management system server including the management data storage unit, the support information providing unit, the application data storage unit, and the application execution unit.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an exercise data management system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiment of the exercise data management system of the present invention described below is transmitted via a communication network 5 from a plurality of communication terminals 1 operated respectively by a plurality of users, as shown in FIG. It is constructed in the center server 7 that receives data. The communication terminal 1 has a function of transmitting the measurement data of the externally connected or built-in momentum measuring device 3 to the center server 7 via the communication network 5, and a display screen for receiving information data from the center server 7. It has a function to display. Of course, the communication terminal 1 and the exercise amount measuring device 3 may be mounted on various types of exercise equipment installed indoors.

  The center server 7 includes the following elements (a) to (e).

(A) A plurality of functions to be described later are realized based on a control program stored in the CPU, ROM, or RAM.

(B) RAM: temporarily stores control programs, personal data, and the like.

(C) ROM: Stores control programs and the like.

(D) Network communication unit: Sends and receives data to and from the communication terminal 1 via the communication network 5.

(E) Data storage unit: Stores personal data for each user transmitted from the communication terminal 1. Personal data includes authentication information including a user ID and a password.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a main part of the configuration of the embodiment configured by the center server 7, the communication terminal 1, and the momentum measuring device 3. The communication terminal 1 may be a mobile phone terminal equipped with a CPU, a computer terminal connected to a monitor, a notebook PC, a PDA, or the like. Among the constituent elements shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, most of the constituent elements excluding the part corresponding to the hardware are the programs shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Realized by being installed on a computer inside.

  The components including the exercise data management system of the present embodiment in FIG. 2 will be described below together with the algorithms in FIGS. 3 and 4. In the present embodiment, a portable type momentum measuring device 3 including a so-called electronic pedometer that incorporates a CPU and performs various calculation operations and storage operations is used. Known examples of electronic pedometers are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-63288. The portable-type exercise amount measuring device 3 used in the present embodiment is carried by the user, and the exercise amount data (the number of steps) corresponding to the user's exercise amount is set for each unit period with a predetermined period as one unit period. It has a function to save and save as exercise data. The portable exercise amount measuring device 3 used in the present embodiment includes an exercise amount data measuring unit 31, a timer unit 32, and an exercise amount data totaling storage unit 33. The exercise amount data measuring unit 31 measures exercise amount data (in this example, the number of steps of the user) corresponding to the user's exercise amount. The measurement result is continuously measured as a cumulative value, and the current cumulative value and the hourly cumulative value or the increment data for one hour are stored in the internal memory as saved exercise amount data in a predetermined format. Data for a predetermined number of days is stored in the internal memory. The timer unit 32 repeatedly counts the unit period with a predetermined period as one unit period for counting the amount of exercise periodically. When the counting of one unit period is completed, the timer unit 32 has a function of starting counting of the next one unit period and repeating the counting of the unit period. Here, the “unit period” is a time interval that can be determined to periodically count the amount of exercise, such as one day, one week, etc., and is determined in consideration of daily exercise time. In this embodiment, one day is defined as a unit period.

  The momentum data totaling storage unit 33 counts the measured momentum data (data in the internal memory of the momentum data measuring unit 31) every time the timer unit 32 completes the counting of the unit period. Save as a series. Data stored in the exercise amount data total storage unit 33 of the portable type exercise amount measuring device 3 is transmitted to the center server 7 via the communication terminal 1 and the communication network 5.

  The portable exercise amount measuring device 3 used in the present embodiment includes a USB terminal that can be connected to the USB connection terminal of the communication terminal 1 made of a personal computer, and is connected to the communication terminal 1 via the USB terminal. Is done. The control unit 11 of the communication terminal 1 is a CPU of a personal computer, and the communication terminal 1 transmits the total exercise amount data stored in the exercise amount data total storage unit 33 from the communication port 12 to the center server 7. Of course, the exercise amount data totaling storage unit 33 may be realized in the communication terminal 1. In particular, in a mobile phone or the like having a pedometer function, since the portable type exercise amount measuring device 3 is built in the communication terminal 1, the exercise amount data totaling storage unit 33 is realized in the communication terminal 1. Yes. In other words, it can be seen that the portable type momentum measuring device 3 has the function of the communication terminal 1. The display device 13 of the communication terminal 1 is a monitor of a personal computer.

  Each of the communication terminals 1 is provided with an operation unit (not shown) such as a keyboard, and a user can give various instructions to the communication terminal 1 by operating the operation unit. That is, the user transmits the data in the exercise amount data storage unit 33 to the center server 7 through the operation unit, or transmits a request signal (request signal) for accessing the center server 7 to obtain information. This can be instructed to the control unit 11. Moreover, you may make it the control part 11 perform these processes at predetermined time.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of an algorithm of a program for controlling the CPU in the momentum measuring device 3. In this algorithm, step count measurement is executed in step ST1. The measured number of steps is stored as an accumulated value in the internal memory. In step ST2, it is determined whether or not the internal clock of the CPU has elapsed for one hour. If it is determined that one hour has elapsed, the number of steps during this one hour is stored in the internal memory in step ST3. The number of steps can be obtained by subtracting the cumulative value after one hour from the cumulative value one hour before. Next, proceeding to step ST4, it is determined whether one day (24 hours) has elapsed. Until one day has passed, the number of steps is calculated every hour and stored in the internal memory. When one day has passed, the process proceeds to step ST5, where the number of steps for the past 24 hours is totaled and stored. In the present embodiment, the timer unit 32 is realized by steps ST2 to ST4, and the exercise amount data totaling storage unit 33 is realized by step ST5. In step ST <b> 6, it is determined whether or not to transmit the data stored in the exercise amount data total storage unit 33 to the communication terminal device 1. When transmitting, the process proceeds to step ST7, and when not transmitting, the process proceeds to step ST8. In step ST7, in addition to the data stored in the exercise amount data total storage unit 33, the accumulated value stored in the internal memory is also transmitted as one of the management data. In step ST8, it is determined whether one year has passed. In this example, it is reset when one year has passed. If the capacity of the internal memory is large, there is no need for resetting. Until one year has passed, steps ST1 to ST8 are repeated. If the memory capacity is sufficient, in step ST8, it is determined whether or not a positive reset signal is input, and the measurement operation may be reset only when the reset signal is input. Of course.

  The exercise data management system of the present embodiment constructed in the center server 7 includes, as basic components, a communication port 71 having a communication function, a control unit 72 used for controlling the entire system, and management data storage Unit 73, support information providing unit 74, application execution unit 75, and application data storage unit 76. In the center server 7, when a request signal is transmitted from the communication terminal 1 of a certain user via the communication port 71, the user is identified using an identifier such as a password. After the user identification is completed, if there is data to be stored, the total exercise amount data is acquired via the communication terminal 1 and stored in the management data storage unit 73 as one of the management data necessary for health management. To do. In addition, the support information providing unit 74 provides support information for supporting the user's exercise to the communication terminal 1 based on the user management data stored in the management data storage unit 73. The management data storage unit 73 stores not only the total exercise amount data but also personal identification information for identifying the user. The management data storage unit 73 also stores other information (for example, user's physical information, health status, etc.). The “support information” provided by the support information providing unit 74 is information useful for the user to continue the exercise, such as past exercise history and exercise menu.

  The application data storage unit 76 stores an application (program) created for the purpose of increasing the user's desire to exercise. In the present embodiment, the application data storage unit 76 also stores point data necessary for event execution.

  The points necessary for the execution of the user's event are calculated from the total exercise amount data stored in the management data storage unit 73, respectively. In the present embodiment, when a timer (not shown) provided in the center server 7 reaches a predetermined time, the control unit 72 performs a reading process of the total exercise amount data from the management data storage unit 73, and the value is obtained. The data is transferred to the application data storage unit 76. The application data storage unit 76 also stores the value of the total exercise amount data transferred from the management data storage unit 73 at the time of the previous read process, and this value and the total exercise amount data value transferred in the current read process. Is calculated by the control unit 72 and added to the points stored in the application data storage unit 76.

  The application execution unit 75 has a function of causing the user to use the application by the communication terminal 1.

  The application content used in the present invention may be any application as long as it is an application created for the purpose of enhancing the user's willingness to exercise. The purpose of exercise is to improve health and increase physical fitness. Therefore, the application is preferably an application that allows the user to imagine that exercise results in increased health or increased physical strength. In the present embodiment, a virtual creature training application that trains a virtual creature (a creature that exists virtually on the application, not an actual creature) is used. In addition, the application used in the present embodiment includes the execution result (nurturing result) of virtual creature training (event) and at least a part of the support information on the same screen of the display device 13 of the communication terminal 1. indicate. In an event using points in the virtual creature training application, the breeding state of the virtual creature is changed based on the points. In other words, a result is displayed that the virtual creature grows faster if there are more points acquired by daily exercise, and the virtual creature grows slower if there are fewer points. In this way, when the user sees the degree of growth of the virtual creature, the user has an opportunity to promote exercise motivation or to consider exercise menu changes.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of support information displayed on the display screen 13 </ b> A of the display device 13 of the communication terminal 1. In the present embodiment, an image showing the growing state of flowers as virtual creatures is shown in the left region 13C of the display screen. On the display screen 13A, various information including the support information 13B is shown together with the image. In this example, “name of user (Mr. A)”, “number of steps in which data was saved this time (10563 steps)”, “number of days since starting exercise (23 days)”, “comprehensive information 13B” The number of steps (189104 steps), “the number of accesses since the start of cultivation (7 times)”, and “the number of steps necessary until a flower blooms (20,000 steps)” are shown. The X-marked button 13E on the display screen 13A is an end button, and the “history” button 13D is a button that is clicked when displaying a past history. In the present embodiment, “1 step” corresponds to “1 point”. Conversion of the number of steps to points is arbitrary.

  When the “history” button 13D is clicked, a screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display screen 13A. In the example of FIG. 6, with one month as a unit, the exercise results for each month from January to December are shown as the number of flowers and the growth state. For example, if it takes 100,000 steps (100,000 points) to grow one flower, it can be seen that more than 200,000 steps were exercised in January. In February, 100,000 steps were achieved, but 200,000 steps were not achieved. March indicates the current state of the month. The actual total number of steps is displayed below each month. As you can see from January and February, the types of flowers change depending on the month. This contributes to increasing the possibility that the user will continue to exercise in the next month and access the center server 7 in anticipation of what flowers will appear next month. When one year is over, the history display in FIG. 6 may be reset, but all past history may be saved without resetting. Even if one year has passed, the target of the virtual creature may be a plant in the next year. However, of course, other virtual creatures (for example, butterflies) may be raised in the next year.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the last growing state at the time when one month ends is also visible in the history. However, those that could not be trained until the end may not be displayed. In the present embodiment, the current progressing state is also displayed as a history, as can be seen from March. Needless to say, the growing situation that has not completely flowered may not be displayed in the history image.

  In the present embodiment, the regular points necessary for using points for events other than the events for breeding may be appropriately determined. For example, regular points may be determined based on the aggregated exercise amount data accumulated in the management data storage unit 73 at that time.

  In the program used on the center server 7 side shown in FIG. In this algorithm, it is determined in step ST11 whether or not a request signal is transmitted (input) from any user. When the request signal is confirmed in step ST11, the user who has transmitted the request signal in step ST12 is identified. The presence or absence of the request signal and the identification of the user are executed by the control unit 72 based on the management data in the management data storage unit 73. When the identification of the user is completed, the data in the portable type momentum measuring device 3 is received via the communication terminal 1 and stored in the management data storage unit 73 in step ST13. Next, in step ST14, support information is transmitted to display a screen as shown in FIG. The support information is transmitted by the support information providing unit 74. Thereafter, in step ST15, the application is executed. The application is read from the application data storage unit 76 and executed by the application execution unit 75. Information to be displayed on the display device 13 of the user's communication terminal 1 among the execution results is transmitted to the communication terminal 1.

  In step ST16, it is determined whether or not the points for growth (number of steps) are 5000 points (5000 steps) or less. If the point (number of steps) is 5000 points or less (including 0 points), it is determined in step ST17 that the flower growth state is “state 1”. “State 1” is a state of only a flower pot, that is, a state in which the bud of the plant has not yet come out. If the point (number of steps) is larger than 5000 points in step ST16, it is determined in step ST18 whether or not the point (number of steps) for training is greater than 5000 points (5000 steps) and less than 10,000 points (steps). The If the point (number of steps) is greater than 5000 and equal to or less than 10,000 points, it is determined in step ST19 that the flower growing state is “state 2”. “State 2” is a state in which the first small leaves extend from the flower pot. If the point (steps) is larger than 10,000 in step ST18, the point for training (steps) is greater than 10,000 points (10,000 steps) and less than 20,000 points (steps) in step ST20. A determination is made whether or not. If the point (number of steps) is greater than 10,000 and less than or equal to 20,000 points, it is determined in step ST21 that the flower growing state is “state 3”. “State 3” is a state in which the first two leaves extend from the flower pot. Hereinafter, when the point (number of steps) is increased and finally it is determined in step ST22 that the number of steps has reached 100,000 points (100,000 steps) or more, the process proceeds to step ST24, the flower opens, One flower has been grown. When the “state” is determined according to the determination result of each determination step, the image 13B on the display screen 13A in FIG. 5 changes to a grown state. If “NO” is determined in step ST22, “state n−1” is set in step ST23. "State n-1" is a state in which the bud is maximized immediately before flowering. After flowering in step ST24, it is determined in step ST25 whether one month has passed. In step ST27, it is determined whether one year (12 months) has elapsed. If one month has not passed and one growth has been completed, the growth of a new flower is started in step ST26. If one month has passed and one year has not passed, the breeding is stopped halfway (step ST28), and the breeding of a new flower (change of flower type) for the next month is started (step ST29). . When it is determined in step ST27 that one year has elapsed, the one-year training schedule ends. Changes are made to the next year's training.

  With the algorithm shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to train without access to the center server 7 for a long period of time. However, it is desirable to continue exercise. Therefore, by inserting steps ST31 to ST33 shown in FIG. 7 before step ST16 in FIG. 4, access (data up) to the center server 7 is performed for a predetermined m (m is a positive integer of 3 days or more) days or more. If not, the growing flower may be withered to stop growing the growing flower. In this way, the user can access the center server 7 as much as possible, and by looking at the support information, the user is prompted to exercise and can maintain the continuity of the exercise.

  In the above-described embodiment, the portable type momentum measuring device 3 includes the momentum data totaling holding unit 33 and transmits the total amount of exercise data from the portable type momentum measuring device 3 to the center server 7 via the communication terminal 1. The configuration is adopted. However, in the present invention, a portable type of momentum measurement that is carried by the user and has a function of measuring momentum data corresponding to the amount of exercise of the user and storing the momentum data as saved momentum data in a predetermined format. A vessel may be used. In this case, this type of portable exercise amount measuring device has only the function of the exercise amount data measuring unit 31 of FIG. In the case of using portable exercise quantity measurement of a type that saves such exercise quantity data as saved exercise quantity data in a predetermined format, the saved exercise quantity data is acquired in the management data saving unit 73 in FIG. 2 and the exercise quantity data is totaled. Thus, a function for obtaining the total exercise amount data may be provided. Other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment.

  In the above embodiment, the form-type exercise measuring device 3 is used. However, it is needless to say that the exercise amount of the user who uses the stationary type training machine can also be managed. In that case, the exercise amount data measured by the exercise amount measuring device mounted on the stationary type training machine may be transmitted to the center server 7 via the communication terminal.

  You can also use multiple types of motion measuring instruments. When you get the momentum data from the motion measuring instrument, you can also get the data to identify the type of the motion measuring instrument, total the momentum data for each exercise measuring instrument, The point may be calculated from the total momentum data. In this case, the points may be calculated using a coefficient corresponding to the type of motion measuring instrument.

  In the above embodiment, the management data storage unit 73 and the application data storage unit 76 may be configured as one database, but may be configured as separate databases. In the above embodiment, exercise management and application execution are performed by one center server 7, but it is of course possible to execute exercise management and application execution using different servers. It is.

  According to the present invention, since the event execution result and at least a part of the support information are displayed on the same screen, the possibility that the support information is viewed together with the event result is increased. As a result, the user is given an opportunity to be motivated to exercise or to consider changing the exercise menu based on the support information, and the user's willingness to exercise is enhanced.
