In addition, embodiment described below is embodiment at the time of applying this invention to the exercise content production | generation system which produces | generates the exercise content for supporting exercise. The exercise content includes video and audio for supporting exercise.

[1. Configuration of Exercise Content Generation System 1]
First, the configuration of the exercise content generation system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration example of an exercise content generation system 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the exercise content generation system 1 includes a distribution server 2 and one or more output terminals 5. The distribution server 2 and the output terminal 5 can be connected via the network 10. The network 10 includes, for example, the Internet. A database 3 is connected to the distribution server 2. Information relating to exercise and information relating to music are registered in the database 3. The distribution server 2 distributes information registered in the database 3 to the output terminal 5 periodically or in response to a request from the output terminal 5. The output terminal 5 is a terminal device installed in the facility 4, for example. The output terminal 5 is an example of an information processing apparatus of the present invention. The output terminal 5 may be a personal computer, for example.

  The output terminal 5 can be connected to the monitor 57. The monitor 57 may be a display device including a plurality of speakers 64 and a display 67. In this case, the output terminal 5 can be connected to the display 67. The output terminal 5 can be connected to a speaker 64. When the output terminal 5 outputs an audio signal to the monitor 57, music or the like is output from the speaker 64. When the output terminal 5 outputs a video signal to the monitor 57, an exercise video or the like is displayed on the display 67. The motion video is a moving image that shows a figure 83 that performs the motion. The figure 83 is a virtual object in the form of, for example, a person, an animal, a virtual creature, or a robot. The figure 83 is arranged in a three-dimensional virtual space. An exercise image is an example of an image in the present invention. The output terminal 5 outputs a signal so that the music output from the speaker 64 and the movement of the figure 83 displayed on the display 67 are synchronized. Outputting music and motion video is an example of outputting motion content. The user 41 can exercise while watching the figure 83 displayed on the display 67 while listening to the music. The operator 42 can operate the output terminal 5 using the remote controller 66 or the like. The user 41 and the operator 42 may be the same person. When the facility 4 is a sports facility, the operator 42 may be an instructor, for example.

  When the user exercises using the output terminal 5, any exercise lesson is performed from among a plurality of exercise lessons. An exercise lesson consists of one or more exercises and one or more music. The exercise operation is an operation for training the body, for example. One or more athletic movements and one or more music pieces constituting an exercise lesson are associated with each other. The output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display an exercise image in which one or more exercise operations constituting the exercise lesson are performed according to the execution order of the exercise operations. When a motion image of a certain motion motion is displayed, the output terminal 5 causes the speaker 64 to output music associated with the motion motion.

[2. Evaluation of exercise lessons]
The user 41 generally wants to exercise for some purpose. This purpose is called exercise purpose. The exercise purpose includes, for example, training and chasing, exercising happily, resetting the mind and body, and becoming a model figure. The output terminal 5 receives the designation of the exercise purpose by the user 41 and determines an exercise lesson suitable for the exercise purpose from a plurality of exercise lessons. Therefore, the output terminal 5 evaluates the exercise lesson. Specifically, the output terminal 5 determines the suitability of the exercise lesson for the designated exercise purpose. Then, the output terminal 5 determines, for example, the exercise lesson having the highest suitability as the exercise lesson to be presented. The output terminal 5 may determine a plurality of exercise lessons.

  In order to determine the appropriateness of the exercise lesson, the HDD 7 provided in the output terminal 5 stores a table such as a purpose table, a characteristic table, a genre table, an appropriate rank table, a target characteristic table, and a lesson configuration table.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the purpose table. The purpose table is a table that defines an exercise purpose. As shown in FIG. 2A, in the purpose table, a purpose ID and a purpose name are stored in association with each other for each exercise purpose. The purpose ID is identification information that can identify an exercise purpose. The purpose ID is an example of the purpose identification information of the present invention.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the characteristic table. The characteristic table is a table that defines movement characteristics. The movement characteristic is a characteristic of movement. The exercise characteristics include, for example, applying a muscle load, relaxing, making fun, and intense movement. As shown in FIG. 2B, the characteristic table stores characteristic IDs and characteristic names in association with each movement characteristic. The characteristic ID is identification information that can identify the characteristic.

  FIG. 2C is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the genre table. The genre table is a table that defines an exercise genre. Examples of the exercise genre include barbell, aerobics, fighting, and yoga. As shown in FIG. 2C, the genre table stores a genre ID and a genre name in association with each exercise genre. The genre ID is identification information that can identify the genre. The genre ID is an example of the type identification information of the present invention.

  FIG. 2D is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the appropriate rank table. The appropriate rank table is a table that defines the appropriateness of the exercise genre for each exercise characteristic. Appropriateness with respect to exercise characteristics indicates, for example, the degree to which exercise belonging to an exercise genre is suitable for the exercise characteristics. Further, for example, “proper” indicates how much the exercise belonging to the exercise genre has the characteristic represented by the exercise characteristic. As shown in FIG. 2D, the appropriate rank table stores a genre ID and a plurality of proper ranks in association with each exercise genre. The plurality of appropriate ranks are stored in association with the characteristic IDs. The appropriate rank indicates how much the exercise genre associated with the appropriate rank is most appropriate among the plurality of exercise genres with respect to the exercise characteristic associated with the appropriate rank. The higher the appropriate ranking, the higher the appropriateness for the exercise characteristics. That is, the smaller the value of the appropriate rank is, the more appropriate it is. In the example of FIG. 2D, in the exercise characteristic of muscle load, the appropriate ranking for barbell is 1st, and the appropriate ranking for aerobics is 4th. In this case, the barbell is the most appropriate for applying the muscular load, and the aerobics is the fourth most appropriate. Moreover, in the exercise aptitude of relaxation, the appropriate ranking of barbell is 10th, and the appropriate ranking of aerobics is 6th. In this case, the barbell is the 10th most appropriate and the aerobics is the 6th most appropriate for relaxing. In the appropriate rank table, for example, aptitude level may be stored instead of the appropriate rank. The aptitude level indicates a degree of appropriateness. The higher the aptitude, the more appropriate.

  FIG. 2E is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the target characteristic table. The objective characteristic table is a table that defines exercise characteristics suitable for exercise purposes. Specifically, the motion characteristics necessary to achieve the exercise goal are defined. As shown in FIG. 2 (E), in the objective characteristic table, an objective ID, a main characteristic ID, and a sub characteristic ID are stored in association with each other for each exercise purpose. The main characteristic ID indicates a movement characteristic that is most suitable for the purpose of movement among a plurality of movement characteristics. This movement characteristic is called the main characteristic. The main characteristic ID is an example of the first characteristic identification information of the present invention. The sub-characteristic ID indicates a motion characteristic that is the second most suitable for the purpose of movement. This movement characteristic is called a sub characteristic. The sub-characteristic ID is an example of second characteristic identification information of the present invention. In the example of FIG. 2E, the main characteristic for the purpose of training and chasing is to apply a muscular load, and the sub characteristic is that the movement is intense. In the target characteristic table, only one characteristic ID may be associated with the target ID, or three or more characteristic IDs may be associated with each other.

  FIG. 2F is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a lesson configuration table. The lesson configuration table is a table in which lesson information that defines the configuration of exercise lessons is stored. As shown in FIG. 2F, in the lesson configuration table, a lesson ID, a motion ID, and a genre ID are stored in association with each other for each exercise operation that constitutes an exercise lesson. The lesson ID is identification information that can identify an exercise lesson. The motion ID is identification information that can identify an exercise motion. The motion ID is an example of exercise identification information according to the present invention. The genre ID indicates the exercise genre to which the exercise operation belongs. In the lesson configuration table, one lesson information is composed of one or more records storing the same lesson ID. An exercise lesson whose lesson ID is X is called lesson X. An exercise operation with a motion ID Y is referred to as an exercise operation Y. An exercise genre whose genre ID is Z is called a genre Z. In the example of FIG. 2 (F), the lesson L1 is composed of exercise operations M1 to M9. The exercise genre of the exercise operations M1 to M3 is the genre G1, the exercise genre of the exercise operations M4 to M6 is the genre G2, and the exercise genre of the exercise operations M7 to M9 is the genre G3. The exercise lesson may be composed of at least one exercise operation. Moreover, the exercise lesson may be composed of at least one exercise motion of an exercise genre. The genre ID may not be stored in the lesson configuration table. For example, a table that stores a motion ID and a genre ID in association with each exercise operation may be stored in the HDD 7 separately from the lesson configuration table.

  The details of how to determine the appropriateness of an exercise lesson for an exercise purpose are described below. For example, the user 41 operates the output terminal 5 to specify a search condition for searching for an exercise lesson. This search condition includes exercise purpose. The output terminal 5 acquires a purpose ID corresponding to the designated purpose. Next, the output terminal 5 acquires one or more genre IDs corresponding to one or more motion IDs included in the lesson information. Specifically, the output terminal 5 acquires one or more genre IDs included in the lesson information.

  Next, the output terminal 5 performs an exercise lesson for the exercise purpose indicated by the objective ID based on the determined one or more genre IDs and the appropriate rank corresponding to the main characteristic ID and the sub characteristic ID corresponding to the acquired objective ID. Determine the appropriateness. First, the output terminal 5 calculates an inappropriate score for each determined genre ID. The improper score indicates the degree to which the exercise genre indicated by the genre ID is not appropriate for the purpose indicated by the purpose ID. The lower the inappropriate score, the higher the appropriateness. The output terminal 5 calculates an improper score using the suitability rank corresponding to the main characteristic ID and the proper rank corresponding to the sub characteristic ID. At this time, the output terminal 5 sets the appropriate rank corresponding to the sub characteristic ID to a specific gravity lower than the appropriate rank corresponding to the main characteristic ID. In other words, the weight of the appropriate rank corresponding to the sub characteristic ID is made smaller than the weight of the proper rank corresponding to the main characteristic ID. Thereby, the suitability for the purpose can be determined in consideration of the importance of each of the plurality of motion characteristics for the purpose. The output terminal 5 calculates an improper score by calculating the following formula 1, for example.

Non-appropriate score = suitability rank corresponding to main characteristic ID + suitability rank corresponding to sub-characteristic ID x 0.5
In the example of Expression 1, the ratio of the weight of the suitability rank corresponding to the sub-characteristic ID to the weight of the suitability rank corresponding to the main characteristic ID is 0.5. The ratio may be other than 0.5. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a calculation example of an inappropriate score. For example, suppose that the designated purpose is to train and drive. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2E, the main characteristic is a muscular load, and the sub characteristic is intensely moving. Assume that lesson information of the exercise lesson L1 is defined as shown in FIG. Therefore, the exercise genres of the exercise motions constituting the exercise lesson L1 are genres G1 to G3. As shown in FIG. 2 (D), the appropriate ranking of the genre G1 for applying a muscular load as the main characteristic and intense movement as the sub characteristic is first and eighth. Therefore, the inappropriate score is 5. The appropriate ranking for the main characteristic and the sub characteristic of the genre G2 is the fourth place and the first place. Therefore, the inappropriate score is 4.5. The appropriate ranking for the main characteristic and the sub characteristic of the genre G3 is the third place and the second place. Therefore, the inappropriate score is 4.

  When calculating the inappropriate score for each genre ID, the output terminal 5 calculates the inappropriate score for the lesson information. An inappropriate score for lesson information indicates the suitability of an exercise lesson for a purpose. For example, the output terminal 5 may determine the average value of the inappropriate scores of all genre IDs as the inappropriate score of lesson information. In this case, the inappropriate score of the exercise lesson L1 is 4.5.

  The output terminal 5 calculates an unsuitable score for each genre ID and an unsuitable score for lesson information for each lesson information that satisfies the search conditions except for appropriateness for the exercise purpose. FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating an example of calculating an inappropriate score for each lesson information. The output terminal 5 determines, for example, lesson information having the lowest improper score from among a plurality of lesson information as lesson information of an exercise lesson proposed to the user 41. This exercise lesson is called a suggested lesson. In the example of FIG. 3B, the lesson L2 is determined as the suggested lesson. The output terminal 5 displays information on the suggested lesson on the display 67. Note that the output terminal 5 may determine lesson information whose improper score is a predetermined value or less, for example, or may determine a predetermined number of lesson information in ascending order of improper score.

  By the way, when the suggested lesson is composed of exercise motions of a plurality of exercise genres, there is at least one exercise genre appropriate for the purpose among the plurality of exercise genres. However, there may be an exercise genre that is not appropriate for the purpose. Therefore, the output terminal 5 may determine an exercise genre whose suitability is equal to or less than a predetermined reference among a plurality of exercise genres. Specifically, the output terminal 5 determines a genre ID of an exercise genre whose improper score is a specified value or more, for example. This exercise genre is called an inappropriate genre. The output terminal 5 may display the determined inappropriate genre on the display 67 as an inappropriate exercise genre.

  FIG. 3C is a diagram illustrating an example of determining an inappropriate exercise genre. As shown in FIG. 3C, it is assumed that exercise lessons satisfying the search conditions are lessons L1 to L3. The unsuitable scores of lessons L1 to L3 are 4.5, 10.38, and 9.17, respectively. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise lesson L1 as a suggested lesson. The exercise genres of the exercise motions constituting the exercise lesson L1 are genres G1 to G3. The inappropriate scores of the genres G1 to G3 are 5, 4.5, and 4, respectively. If the specified value is 4.8, for example, the inappropriate score of the genre G1 is equal to or greater than the specified value. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines the genre G1 as an inappropriate genre.

  When the inappropriate genre is determined, the output terminal 5 changes the exercise motion belonging to the inappropriate genre among the exercise motions constituting the suggested exercise lesson to the exercise motion of the exercise genre that is more appropriate for the purpose. Also good. The exercise genre to be changed is called a replacement genre. For example, the output terminal 5 uses an inappropriate score calculated for each genre ID in each lesson information having a search condition. The output terminal 5 determines, as the replacement genre ID, the genre ID for which the inappropriate score lower than the inappropriate score calculated for the inappropriate genre ID is calculated. For example, the output terminal 5 may determine a genre ID whose improper score is less than a specified value. In the lesson information, the output terminal 5 changes the motion ID associated with the genre ID of the inappropriate genre to one or more motion IDs associated with the genre ID of the replacement genre.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3C, an exercise lesson L1 that is a suggested exercise is composed of exercise operations M1 to M6. The exercise operations M1 and M2 belong to the genre G1. The exercise operations M3 and M4 belong to the genre G2. The exercise operations M4 and M6 belong to the genre G3. As described above, the inappropriate genre is the genre G1. Among the exercise genres to which the exercise motions constituting the lessons L2 and L3 belong, the exercise genre having an inappropriate score of less than 4.8 is the genre G7 of the lesson L2. The movement G13 and M14 are associated with the genre G7. Therefore, the output terminal 5 changes the motion IDs of the exercise operations M1 and M2 stored in the lesson information of the lesson L1 to the motion IDs of the exercise operations M13 and M14. FIG. 3D is a diagram illustrating an example of lesson information after the change. As a result of the motion ID being changed, the inappropriate score of the exercise lesson L1 has dropped from 4.5 to 4.17. In other words, the suitability for exercise purposes became high.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the search result screen. The search result screen is a screen that displays information related to the suggested lesson. As shown in FIG. 4, lesson details 101 are displayed on the search result screen. As the lesson details 101, for example, the lesson name of the suggested lesson, the name of the exercise motion that constitutes the suggested lesson, the genre name of the exercise genre to which the exercise motion belongs are displayed. If there is an inappropriate genre, a message 102, a delete button 103, a change button 104, and a play button 105 are displayed as they are on the search result screen. The message 102 indicates that there is an inappropriate genre and displays a message indicating the inappropriate genre and the exercise motion of the inappropriate genre. The delete button 103 is a button for deleting the exercise motion of the inappropriate genre from the suggested lesson and reproducing the exercise content of the suggested lesson. The change button 104 is a button for reproducing the exercise content of the suggested lesson by changing the exercise operation of the inappropriate genre to the exercise operation of the replacement genre. The play button 105 is a button for playing the exercise content of the suggested lesson without changing the configuration of the suggested lesson.

Various programs may be recorded on the recording medium 59 and read via the disk drive 58. The 3D engine and the music sequencer may be dedicated hardware instead of a program. The output terminal 5 may include a 3D engine or a music sequencer as hardware.

  The CPU 51 outputs an audio signal corresponding to the music data to the audio output unit 63 and outputs a video signal corresponding to the generated image from the display control unit 56 according to the set tempo. Based on the synchronization event, the CPU 51 synchronizes the output timing of the music audio signal and the output timing of the motion video signal. As a result, a figure 83 that performs an exercise motion in synchronization with the music output from the speaker 64 is displayed on the display 67.

[4. Operation of Exercise Content Generation System 1]
Next, the operation of the output terminal 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of main processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. For example, when the user 41 operates the remote controller 66, the mouse 62, etc., the CPU 51 starts the main process. As shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 51 displays a search condition designation screen on the display 67 (step S1). The search condition designation screen is a screen for designating search conditions for exercise lessons. On the search condition designation screen, the user 41 designates search conditions such as exercise purpose, lesson time, number of genres, required genres, and the like. The lesson time is an exercise lesson time. The number of genres is the number of exercise genres included in the exercise lesson. The essential genre is an exercise genre that should be included in an exercise lesson. The CPU 51 acquires an exercise purpose ID, lesson time, number of genres, and genre IDs of essential genres based on the operation of the remote controller 66, mouse 62, etc. by the user 41 (step S2).

  Next, the CPU 51 searches the lesson configuration table for lesson information of athletic lessons that satisfy the search conditions (step S3). Specifically, the CPU 51 calculates the number of genres for each lesson information based on the genre ID included in the lesson information. Further, the CPU 51 acquires the lesson time from the lesson time table. Next, the CPU 51 obtains lesson information whose lesson time matches the designated lesson time among the lesson information including the genre ID of the essential genre and whose calculated genre number matches the designated genre number. Search for. The CPU 51 acquires the retrieved lesson information from the lesson configuration table.

  Next, the CPU 51 executes appropriate evaluation processing (step S4). FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the appropriate evaluation process of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 51 acquires a main characteristic ID and a sub characteristic ID corresponding to the acquired target ID from the target characteristic table (step S21). Next, the CPU 51 sets the sequence number i to 1 (step S22). Next, the CPU 51 obtains each genre ID included in the i-th lesson information among the retrieved lesson information (step S23). When the lesson information includes a plurality of the same genre IDs, the CPU 51 acquires one genre ID from the same plurality of genre IDs. Next, for each acquired genre ID, the CPU 51 acquires an aptitude rank corresponding to the genre ID and the main characteristic ID and an aptitude rank corresponding to the genre ID and the sub characteristic ID from the aptitude rank table (step S24). Next, the CPU 51 calculates an improper score for each acquired genre ID (step S25). Specifically, the CPU 51 calculates, for example, Equation 1 described above using the acquired suitability ranking. Next, the CPU 51 calculates an improper score for the i-th lesson information (step S26). For example, the CPU 51 calculates the average value of the improper scores calculated in step S25. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the sequence number i is less than the number N of searched lesson information (step S27). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the sequence number i is less than N (step S27: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S28. In step S28, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the sequence number i. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S23. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the sequence number i is not less than N (step S27: NO), it ends the appropriate evaluation process.

  When the appropriate evaluation process is completed, the CPU 51 determines lesson information having the lowest improper score among the searched lesson information as lesson information of the suggested lesson as shown in FIG. 5 (step S5). Next, the CPU 51 displays a search result screen on the display 67 (step S6). Specifically, the CPU 51 displays the lesson details 101 based on the lesson ID, motion ID, and genre ID included in the lesson information of the suggested lesson. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the genre ID included in the lesson information of the suggested lesson includes a genre ID having an improper score that is greater than or equal to a specified value (step S7). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that there is no genre ID having an improper score that is equal to or greater than the specified value (step S7: NO), it displays the playback button 105 on the display 67 as it is, and proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that there is a genre ID having an improper score that is equal to or greater than a specified value (step S7: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S8. In step S <b> 8, the CPU 51 determines, for example, the genre ID having the highest non-suitability score among the genre IDs having the non-suitability score equal to or more than the specified value as the genre ID of the non-suitability genre. Then, the CPU 51 causes the display 67 to display the message 102, the delete button 103, the change button 104, and the playback button 105 as they are. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S9.

  In step S <b> 9, the CPU 51 determines whether selection of any one of the delete button 103, the change button 104, and the play button 105 is detected based on the operation of the user 41 such as the remote control 66 and the mouse 62. judge. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the selection of the button has not been detected (step S9: NO), the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the selection of the button has been detected (step S9: YES), it proceeds to step S10. In step S <b> 10, the CPU 51 determines whether selection of the playback button 105 is detected as it is. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that selection of the playback button 105 is detected as it is (step S10: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that selection of the playback button 105 is not detected as it is (step S10: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S11.

  In step S11, the CPU 51 determines whether selection of the delete button 103 has been detected. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that selection of the delete button 103 has been detected (step S11: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S12. In step S12, the CPU 51 deletes all motion IDs corresponding to the genre ID of the non-appropriate genre from the lesson information of the suggested lesson. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that selection of the delete button 103 has not been detected (step S11: NO), it executes a replacement process (step S13).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the replacement process of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 51 acquires each genre ID included in the lesson information of the suggested lesson as a duplicate genre ID (step S31). Next, the CPU 51 sets the sequence number i to 1 (step S32). Next, the CPU 51 sets the sequence number j to 1 (step S33). Next, the CPU 51 specifies the i-th lesson information from the retrieved lesson information. Next, the CPU 51 acquires each genre ID from the i-th lesson information. When the lesson information includes a plurality of the same genre IDs, the CPU 51 acquires one genre ID from the same plurality of genre IDs. And CPU51 acquires jth genre ID from acquired genre ID (step S34).

  Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the j-th genre ID matches any duplicate genre ID (step S35). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the j-th genre ID matches any duplicate genre ID (step S35: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S38. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 does not determine that the jth genre ID matches any duplicate genre ID (step S35: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S36. In step S36, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the inappropriate score calculated for the jth genre ID is less than a specified value. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the improper score is less than the specified value (step S36: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S37. In step S <b> 37, the CPU 51 registers the i-th lesson ID, the j-th genre ID, and the j-th genre ID inadequate scores in association with each other in the replacement candidate list. The replacement candidate list is a list in which candidates for genre IDs of replacement genres are registered. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S38. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the improper score is not less than the specified value (step S36: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S38.

  In step S38, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the order number j is less than M indicating the number of genre IDs acquired from the i-th lesson information. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the sequence number j is less than M (step S38: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S39. In step S39, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the sequence number j. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S34. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the sequence number j is not less than M (step S38: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S40. In step S40, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the sequence number i is less than N indicating the number of retrieved lesson information. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the sequence number i is less than N (step S40: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S41. In step S41, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the sequence number i. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S33. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the sequence number i is not less than N (step S40: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, the CPU 51 determines the genre ID having the lowest improper score among the genre IDs registered in the replacement candidate list as the genre ID of the replacement genre. Next, the CPU 51 deletes all of the genre ID of the non-appropriate genre and the motion ID corresponding to the genre ID of the non-appropriate genre from the lesson information of the suggested lesson (step S43). Next, the CPU 51 acquires a lesson ID corresponding to the genre ID of the replacement genre from the replacement candidate list. Next, the CPU 51 acquires all motion IDs corresponding to the genre ID of the replacement genre from the lesson information corresponding to the acquired lesson ID. Next, the CPU 51 adds the genre ID of the replacement genre and the motion ID corresponding to the genre ID of the replacement genre to the lesson information of the suggested lesson (step S44). When step S44 is completed, the CPU 51 ends the replacement process and proceeds to step S14 as shown in FIG.

  In step S14, the CPU 51 executes exercise content reproduction processing. Specifically, the CPU 51 determines a music ID to be associated with each motion ID included in the lesson information of the suggested lesson. For example, the CPU 51 may automatically determine the music ID, or may determine it based on the user's 41 music specifying operation. Next, the CPU 51 sets the sequence number i to 1. Next, the CPU 51 sequentially generates still images of motion video based on the motion data corresponding to the i-th motion ID among the motion IDs included in the lesson information, and outputs the still images to the display control unit 56. As a result, the motion image of the motion corresponding to the motion ID is output to the display 67. Further, the CPU 51 outputs a sound signal to the sound output unit 63 based on the music data corresponding to the music ID associated with the i-th motion data. As a result, the music corresponding to the music ID is output from the speaker 64. When the output of the motion video still image is completed, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the sequence number i is less than the number of motion IDs included in the lesson information of the suggested lesson. When the sequence number i is less than the number of motion IDs, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the sequence number i. Then, the CPU 51 outputs a motion video and music as described above. When the sequence number i is not less than the number of motion IDs, the CPU 51 ends the exercise content reproduction process and ends the main process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the CPU 51 acquires one of the purpose IDs. Further, the CPU 51 acquires lesson information. In addition, the CPU 51 determines one or more genre IDs corresponding to one or more motion IDs included in the lesson information. Further, the CPU 51 determines suitability for the exercise purpose indicated by the purpose ID of the lesson information using the determined one or more genre IDs and the non-suitability score stored in the suitability ranking table. Therefore, it can be evaluated whether exercise is suitable for the purpose.
