[1-3-2. Theme information table configuration]
FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating an example of the theme information table. In the present embodiment, for each exercise genre, exercise belonging to the exercise genre is divided into a plurality of exercise themes. The theme information table shown in FIG. 2B is a theme information table of the exercise genre “Aerobics” as an example. In the theme information table shown in FIG. 2B, a theme ID, a theme name, an exercise BPM (Beats Per Minute), and the like are stored in association with each divided exercise theme. The exercise theme is an exercise title. For example, it may be an exercise classification, classification, or type according to the exercise content. The exercise theme may indicate, for example, a range of a plurality of exercise elements related to motion content or similar among a plurality of exercise elements belonging to the exercise genre. The theme ID is identification information that can identify an exercise theme. The theme ID is an example of theme identification information of the present invention. The theme name is the name of the exercise theme. The exercise BPM indicates an operation speed suitable for exercise corresponding to the exercise theme in tempo. At the time of reproduction of the exercise content, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display an exercise image in which exercise is performed at a speed according to the exercise BPM. For example, in the theme information table of the exercise genre “Aerobics” shown in FIG. 2B, theme IDs “G1_T1” to “G1_T11”, “G2_T1” to “G2_T8”, and the like are stored. Warm-up, cool-down, low impact 1, low impact 2, mid impact 1, mid impact 2, etc. are stored as the theme name. “90” to “160” or the like is stored as the exercise BPM.

  The theme ID includes the genre ID of the exercise genre to which the exercise theme belongs. Therefore, the exercise genre can be identified based on the theme ID. For example, in the theme information table shown in FIG. 2B, “G1” included in the theme IDs “G1_T1” to “G1_T11” is the aerobics genre ID “G1” shown in the genre information table of FIG. Show. Accordingly, the theme IDs “G1_T1” to “G1_T11” are the theme IDs of exercise themes belonging to aerobics, respectively. For example, in the theme information table shown in FIG. 2B, the theme ID “G1_T1”, the theme name “warming up”, and the exercise BPM “90” are stored in association with each other. Accordingly, the theme ID “G1_T1” is an aerobics warm-up exercise theme ID, and the aerobics warm-up is executed at a speed of 90 BPM.

[1-3-3. Structure of exercise element information table]
FIG. 2C is a diagram illustrating an example of the exercise element information table. In the exercise element information table, exercise element IDs of a plurality of exercise elements belonging to the exercise theme indicated by the theme ID are stored for each theme ID. The plurality of exercise elements have different exercise contents for each exercise element ID. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2C, the exercise element information table stores an exercise ID, an exercise element ID, a theme ID, a corresponding performance part type, an exercise rate, a connection classification, and the like in association with each other. The Hereinafter, the details of the association between the exercise ID, the exercise element ID, the theme ID, the corresponding performance part type, the exercise rate, and the connection classification will be described using the exercise element information table of FIG.

  The exercise ID is identification information that can identify the category of the exercise element in which the exercise element is classified by a combination of the exercise theme of the exercise element, the corresponding performance part type, and the connection category. For example, in the exercise element information table shown in FIG. 2C, the exercise IDs “G1_T1_PS_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_CS”, “G1_T1_P2_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_P3_C1”, “G1_T1_P1_P1_P3_CN” are associated with the theme ID “G1_T1”. And “G1_T1_PE_CN” are stored. Further, for example, the exercise IDs “G1_T3_PS_CN”, “G1_T3_P1_CN”, “G1_T3_P2_CN”, “G1_T3_P3_CN”, “G1_T3_P3_CE”, “G1_T3_PE_C” are stored in association with the theme ID “G1_T3”.

  The exercise element ID is identification information that can identify the exercise element. When the corresponding performance part type described later is “P1”, “P2”, or “P3”, a plurality of exercise element IDs are stored in the exercise element information table in association with the same exercise ID. For example, exercise element IDs “G1_T1_P1_L32_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_L64_CN”, and “G1_T1_P1_L96_CN” are stored in association with the exercise ID “G1_T1_P1_CN”. Further, for example, exercise element IDs “G1_T1_P1_L32_CS”, “G1_T1_P1_L64_CS”, and “G1_T1_P1_L96_CS” are stored in association with the exercise ID “G1_T1_P1_CS”.

  When the corresponding performance part type described later is “PS” or “PE”, one exercise element ID is stored in association with the exercise ID. For example, the exercise element ID “G1_T1_PS_L32_CN” is stored in association with the exercise ID “G1_T1_PS_CN”, and the exercise element ID “G1_T1_PE_L32_CN” is stored in association with “G1_T1_PE_CN”. A plurality of exercise element IDs may be stored in association with exercise IDs whose corresponding performance part types are “PS” and “PE”.

  The theme ID indicates an exercise theme to which the exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID belongs. The corresponding performance part type indicates the type of performance part that is output when the exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID is executed among the plurality of performance parts constituting the music. In other words, the exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID is an exercise element that can be executed in accordance with the type of performance part indicated by the corresponding performance part type. The corresponding performance part type is an example of first type information of the present invention. For example, “PS”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, or “PE” may be stored as the corresponding performance part type. “PS” indicates a performance part to be played first among a plurality of performance parts constituting the music. The exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID corresponding to the corresponding performance part type “PS” is referred to as a start exercise element. “P1”, “P2”, and “P3” indicate performance parts that are played in the middle among a plurality of performance parts that constitute the music. The intermediate performance part is a performance part that is played in an order other than the beginning and end of the music. The exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID corresponding to any of the corresponding performance part types “P1”, “P2”, and “P3” is referred to as a main exercise element. “PE” indicates a performance part to be played last among a plurality of performance parts constituting the music. The exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID corresponding to the corresponding performance part type “PE” is referred to as an end exercise element. The start motion element and the end motion element are examples of the specific motion element of the present invention. For example, in the moving element information table shown in FIG. 2C, the corresponding part type “PS” is stored in association with the movement element ID “G1_T1_PS_L32_CN”. Also, the motion element IDs “G1_T1_P1_L32_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_L64_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_L96_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_L32_CS”, “G1_T1_P1_L64_CS”, “corresponding to G1_T1_P1” Further, the corresponding part type “P2” is stored in association with the exercise element IDs “G1_T1_P2_L32_CN”, “G1_T1_P2_L64_CN”, and “G1_T1_P2_L96_CN”, respectively. Also, the motion element IDs “G1_T1_P3_L32_CN”, “G1_T1_P3_L64_CN”, “G1_T1_P3_L96_CN”, “G1_T1_P3_L32_CE”, “G1_T1_P3_L64_CE”, “3” associated with “G1_T1_P3_L96_P” Further, the corresponding part type “PE” is stored in association with the exercise element ID “G1_T1_PE_L32_CN”.

  The exercise rate indicates the length of time required to execute a series of exercise operations of the exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID. The exercise beat number is an example of the second beat number information of the present invention. For example, a plurality of different exercise beat rates are stored in association with a plurality of exercise element IDs associated with the same exercise ID whose corresponding performance part type is “P1”, “P2”, or “P3”. For example, in the exercise element information table shown in FIG. 2C, the exercise rate is associated with the exercise element IDs “G1_T1_P1_L32_CS”, “G1_T1_P1_L64_CS”, “G1_T1_P1_L96_CS” stored in association with the exercise ID “G1_T1_P1_CS”. “32”, “64”, and “96” are stored, respectively.

  The connection classification indicates which exercise element the exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID is connected to among the plurality of exercise elements belonging to the exercise theme indicated by the theme ID. In other words, the connection section indicates which motion element the motion element indicated by the motion element ID is executed continuously. The connection classification is an example of connection information of the present invention. For example, “Tn_CN”, “Tn_CS”, or “Tn_CE” is stored as the connection classification. “Tn” is determined according to the exercise theme ID. For example, when the exercise theme ID is T1, the connection classification is any one of “T1_CN”, “T1_CS”, and “T1_CE”. “Tn_CN” indicates that the motion element indicated by the motion element ID is continuously executed only with the main motion element. That is, the motion element indicated by the motion element ID is not continuously executed with any of the start motion element and the end motion element. “Tn_CS” indicates that the motion element indicated by the motion element ID is executed continuously with the start motion element. “Tn_CE” indicates that the motion element indicated by the motion element ID is executed continuously with the end motion element. The connection classification “Tn_CN” is stored in association with the movement element IDs of the start movement element and the end movement element. One of connection classifications “Tn_CN”, “Tn_CS”, and “Tn_CE” is stored in association with the movement element ID of the main movement element.

  Motion data for displaying the motion image of the motion element is generated by the administrator of the exercise support system 1 for each motion element. The manager creates motion data of each motion element so that the start posture and the end posture of a plurality of different motion elements belonging to the same motion theme are common. The starting posture is the first posture of a series of movements of the movement element. The end posture is the final posture of a series of movements of the movement element. The common start posture and end posture within the exercise theme are referred to as exercise theme common postures. In the present embodiment, the common posture of the exercise theme may include, for example, a matching posture and a similar posture. Note that the start posture of the start motion element and the end posture of the end motion element may be different from the common posture of the exercise theme. In the exercise element information table, the connection classification “Tn_CN” is stored in association with the exercise element ID of the main exercise element in which both the start posture and the end posture are the common postures of the exercise theme.

  In at least one of the start movement element and the end movement element, a series of movement motions may be special. That is, the motion motion of at least one of the start motion element and the end motion element may not be similar to the motion motion of the main motion element. For example, when the start exercise element is special, when the administrator creates motion data of the start exercise element, the end posture of the start exercise element may be different from the common posture of the exercise theme. At this time, the manager creates motion data of the main motion element whose start posture is the same as the end posture of the start motion element and whose end posture is the common posture of the exercise theme. In association with the movement element ID of the main movement element, the connection classification “Tn_CS” is stored in the movement element information table. For example, the movement element information table illustrated in FIG. 2C stores the connection classification “T1_CS” in association with the movement element IDs “G1_T1_P1_L32_CS”, “G1_T1_P1_L64_CS”, and “G1_T1_P1_L96_CS”. When the end posture of the start exercise element of a certain exercise theme is the common posture of the exercise theme, the exercise element information table includes the theme ID of the exercise theme and the exercise element ID associated with the connection classification “Tn_CS”. May not be stored.

  When the end motion element is special, when the administrator creates motion data of the end motion element, the start posture of the end motion element may be different from the common posture of the motion theme. At this time, the administrator may create motion data of the main motion element whose end posture is common with the start posture of the end motion element and whose start posture is the common posture of the exercise theme. In association with the movement element ID of the main movement element, the connection classification “Tn_CE” is stored in the movement element information table. For example, the movement element information table illustrated in FIG. 2C stores the connection classification “T1_CE” in association with the movement element IDs “G1_T1_P3_L32_CE”, “G1_T1_P3_L64_CE”, and “G1_T1_P3_L96_CE”. When the start posture of the end exercise element of a certain exercise theme is the common posture of the exercise theme, the exercise element information table includes the theme ID of the exercise theme and the exercise element ID associated with the connection classification “Tn_CE”. May not be stored.

The upper limit BPM “−” indicates that the upper limit of the exercise BPM is not set.

[2. Composition of exercise unit information]
Information indicating a plurality of exercise elements constituting each exercise unit performed in the exercise lesson is referred to as exercise unit information. The exercise unit information is generated for each exercise unit by the output terminal 5. FIG. 4D and FIG. 4H are diagrams illustrating an example of exercise unit information. The exercise unit information includes a plurality of playback numbers, a plurality of performance part types, a plurality of beats, and a plurality of exercise element IDs. The performance part type, the beat number, and the exercise element ID are associated with the reproduction number.

The beat number indicates the exercise beat number of the exercise element indicated by the exercise element ID and the performance beat number of the performance part indicated by the performance part type. In the exercise unit information shown in FIG. 4D, the number of beats “32”, “32”, “32”, “64”, and “32” are associated with the reproduction numbers “1” to “5”, respectively. ing. In the exercise unit information shown in FIG. 4 (H), the playback numbers “1” to “8” have beat numbers “32”, “64”, “32”, “64”, “64”, “32”. ”,“ 64 ”, and“ 32 ”are associated with each other. The exercise element ID indicates an exercise element that is executed in the order indicated by the reproduction number. For example, in the exercise unit information shown in FIG. 4D, the reproduction numbers “1” to “5” include the exercise element IDs “G1_T1_PS_L32_CN”, “G1_T1_P1_L32_CS”, “G1_T1_P2_L32_CN”, “G1_T1_P3_L64_CE” _N1_G1_PE It is associated. In the exercise unit information shown in FIG. 4 (H), the reproduction numbers “1” to “8” include the exercise element IDs “G1_T3_PS_L32_CN”, “G1_T3_P1_L64_CN”, “G1_T3_P2_L32_CN”, “G1_T3_P3_L64_T1_N1” “G1_T3_P2_L32_CN”, “G1_T3_P3_L64_CE”, and “G1_T3_PE_L32_CN” are associated with each other.

  When the output terminal 5 displays an exercise image of a certain exercise unit in the exercise lesson on the display 67, the output terminal 5 causes the speaker 64 to output music associated with the exercise unit. At this time, the output terminal 5 reproduces the exercise content based on the exercise unit information. Specifically, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display an exercise image in which a plurality of exercise elements indicated by the plurality of exercise element IDs are successively executed in the order of numbers indicated by the reproduction numbers. When an exercise image of an exercise element indicated by a certain exercise element ID is displayed, the output terminal 5 outputs a performance part type performance part associated with the performance part number corresponding to the exercise element ID through the speaker 64. Let

[3. Structure of motion data]
As described above, motion data of each motion element is created so that the start posture and the end posture of a plurality of different motion elements belonging to the same motion theme become a common posture. For example, the motion data may be created so that a series of motion motions of the motion elements is composed of a front joint motion, a main motion, and a back joint motion. The motion elements are executed in the order of the front connecting operation, the main operation, and the rear connecting operation. The front joining operation includes the start posture of the motion element, and the rear joining operation includes the end posture of the motion element. For example, the administrator creates motion data so that the front joint operation and the rear joint operation are common in all the motion elements belonging to the same motion theme. In addition, the motion beat counts of the front connecting operation and the rear connecting operation are the same. The exercise rate of the exercise element is, for example, the total of the exercise rate of the main operation and the number of beats of the follow-up exercise operation. For example, in the case where the number of exercise beats of the front connecting operation and the back connecting operation is 4, the number of exercise beats of a certain movement element is 32 beats, and the number of exercise beats of the main operation is 28 beats. Note that the start motion element may be configured by only the main motion and the back connection operation, for example, and the end motion element may be configured by only the front connection operation and the main motion, for example.

  When displaying a motion image in which a plurality of motion elements constituting the motion unit are continuously executed on the display 67, the output terminal 5 performs the front connection operation, the main operation, and the rear for each motion element based on the motion data. An exercise image in which the connecting operation is performed is displayed. At this time, the output terminal 5 combines the definition part of the motion data of the motion element of the certain motion element and the definition part of the motion data of the motion data of the motion element in the next execution order of the motion element. Also good. As a result, in the operation of the portion where the two motion elements are connected, the output terminal 5 performs an intermediate operation between the back motion of the previous motion element and the front motion of the motion element in the next execution order. Displayed video may be displayed. Alternatively, the output terminal 5 may display an image in which the back motion of the previous motion element is performed based on only the motion data of the previous motion element for the operation of the portion where the two motion elements are connected. Alternatively, based on only the motion data of the motion element in the next execution order, an image in which the front connection operation of the motion element in the next execution order is performed may be displayed.

[4. Generation method of motor unit information]
When a motion image in which a plurality of motion elements that are not related or similar in motion content are continuously displayed is displayed on the display 67, the end posture of the motion element in a certain execution order and the motion element in the next execution order May not match the starting posture. More specifically, it is assumed that the back-joining operation of the motion element in a certain execution order does not match the front-joining motion of the motion element in the next execution order. In this case, the operation of the figure 83 displayed on the display 67 becomes unnatural at the connection part of the motion element. In this case, when the motion video is generated, the output terminal 5 may generate the motion video by synthesizing the motion data as described above. Thereby, the movement of the connecting part of the movement element may be smooth to some extent. However, if the end posture of the motion element in the previous execution order is completely different from the start posture of the motion element in the next execution order, even if the synthesis process is performed, the motion element connection part may be unnatural. There is.

  Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines one of the theme IDs from among the plurality of theme IDs stored in the theme information table as the theme ID indicating the exercise theme of the exercise unit constituting the exercise lesson. This exercise theme is called a specific theme. The output terminal 5 associates a plurality of exercise element IDs among a plurality of exercise element IDs stored in the exercise element information table in association with a theme ID of a specific theme, with a plurality of exercise elements constituting the exercise unit. The motion element ID is determined. The output terminal 5 generates exercise unit information including the determined plurality of exercise element IDs. Then, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display a motion image in which a plurality of motion elements indicated by the determined plurality of motion element IDs are continuously executed based on the motion unit information. As described above, when an administrator creates motion data for each motion element, the start posture and end posture of a plurality of motion elements belonging to the same motion theme are basically common among the plurality of motion elements. . Thereby, when the output terminal 5 displays on the display 67 an exercise image in which a plurality of exercise elements belonging to the same exercise theme are continuously executed based on the exercise unit information, the connection portions of the plurality of exercise elements are natural. Can output a simple image.

  When determining the theme ID of the specific theme, the output terminal 5 may automatically determine the theme ID of the specific theme, for example, or may determine the theme ID of the specific theme based on the operation of the remote controller 66 or the like by the operator 42. You may decide. For example, in the present embodiment, the output terminal 5 may determine any lesson purpose ID from among the lesson purpose IDs stored in the lesson purpose information table as the lesson purpose ID for the purpose of the exercise lesson. At this time, the output terminal 5 may automatically determine the lesson purpose ID, for example, or may determine the lesson purpose ID based on the operation of the remote controller 66 or the like by the operator 42. When the lesson purpose ID is determined, the output terminal 5 acquires lesson information corresponding to the lesson purpose ID from the purpose-specific lesson information table. The output terminal 5 determines the theme ID included in the acquired lesson information as the theme ID of the specific theme.

  The output terminal 5 may determine the song ID of the song that is output when the exercise unit is executed, for example. This music is called specific music. At this time, the output terminal 5 may automatically determine the music ID of the specific music, for example, or may determine the music ID of the specific music based on the operation of the remote controller 66 or the like by the operator 42. For example, in the present embodiment, the output terminal 5 acquires lesson information corresponding to the determined lesson purpose ID from the lesson purpose information table. The output terminal 5 determines the music ID included in the acquired lesson information as the music ID of the specific music.

  When determining the exercise element IDs of the plurality of exercise elements to be executed, the output terminal 5 may determine the exercise element IDs of the exercise elements respectively associated with the plurality of performance parts constituting the specific musical piece. For example, the output terminal 5 stores the performance beat number included in the music information stored in the music information table in association with the music ID of the specific music and the exercise element information table in association with the theme ID of the specific theme. A plurality of exercise element IDs are determined based on the exercise rate. Specifically, the output terminal 5 matches the performance beat number among a plurality of exercise element IDs corresponding to the theme ID of the specific theme for each performance part number and performance beat number included in the music information of the specific music. The exercise element ID associated with the exercise rate to be determined is determined. Thereby, a plurality of movement elements suitable for the composition of the music can be determined.

  The output terminal 5 is included in the music information of the specific music from among the plurality of exercise element IDs stored in the exercise element information table in association with the theme ID of the specific theme for each performance part constituting the specific music. Among the exercise element IDs stored in the exercise element information table in association with the corresponding performance part type corresponding to the performance part type to be played, the exercise element associated with the exercise rate matching the performance beat number included in the music information The ID may be determined. Thereby, the movement element suitable for the performance part type can be determined.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, in the music information, the performance part type of the performance part having the first performance part number among the plurality of performance parts constituting the music is “PS”. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID of the start exercise element as the exercise element ID associated with the performance part of the first playback number. The performance part type of the performance part having the last performance part number among the plurality of performance parts constituting the music piece is “PE”. Accordingly, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID of the end exercise element as the exercise element ID associated with the performance part of the last reproduction number.

  The output terminal 5 may determine, for example, the exercise element ID stored in the exercise element information table in association with the connection type “Tn_PS” as the exercise element ID of the exercise element executed continuously with the start exercise element. . Even when the end posture of the start motion element is different from the common posture of the specific theme, the start posture of the motion element indicated by the motion element ID of the connection type “Tn_PS” is the same as the end posture of the start motion element. Accordingly, the start motion element and the connected portion of the motion element executed continuously to the start motion element can output a natural image. In addition, the user who performs the lesson can perform the motion of the plurality of motion elements with the natural flow of the connection portions of the motion elements while watching the video. Further, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID stored in the exercise element information table in association with the connection type “Tn_PE”, for example, as the exercise element ID of the exercise element executed continuously with the end exercise element. Also good. Even when the start posture of the end motion element is different from the common posture of the specific theme, the end posture of the motion element indicated by the motion element ID of the connection type “Tn_PE” is the same as the start posture of the end motion element. Therefore, it is possible to output an image in which the end motion element and the connected portion of the motion element executed in succession to the end motion element are natural. The user performing the lesson can perform the motion of the end motion element in a natural flow from the start posture of the end motion element while watching the video.

  For example, the output terminal 5 plays the performance part of the specific music so that an intermediate performance part of the specific music is repeatedly played based on the exercise BPM stored in the theme information table in association with the theme ID of the specific theme. The configuration may be changed. In this case, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID of the exercise element associated with each performance part constituting the specific music after the performance part configuration change. Then, the output terminal 5 causes the speaker 64 to output the specific music after the performance part configuration change when displaying the exercise video of the exercise unit on the display 67. The output terminal 5 may determine the number of loops so that, for example, the faster the exercise BPM, the greater the number of loops in the intermediate performance part. That is, the faster the exercise BPM, the greater the number of performance parts constituting the specific music after the performance part composition change. The faster the exercise BPM, the shorter the musical performance time and the shorter the execution time of the exercise unit. Therefore, the faster the exercise BPM, the greater the number of performance parts that make up the specific musical piece, thereby making it possible to keep the execution time of the exercise unit within a certain range.

  Specifically, the output terminal 5 acquires the number of loops corresponding to the exercise BPM from the repeat number determination information table. Then, the output terminal 5 generates, for example, a reproduction music composition table based on the number of loops. The reproduction music composition table is information indicating the composition of the specific music after the performance part composition change. For example, in the reproduction music composition table, a reproduction number, a performance part number, a performance part type, and a performance beat number are stored in association with each performance part constituting the specific music after the performance part composition change. FIG. 4C is a diagram showing an example of a reproduction music composition table when the number of loops is 1. As shown in FIG. 3D, in the music information table, the performance part types “PS”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “P3”, “PE” is stored. Therefore, when the number of loops is 1, in the reproduction music composition table, the performance part types “PS”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3” are associated with the reproduction numbers “1” to “5”, respectively. , “PE” is stored. FIG. 4G is a diagram showing an example of a reproduction music composition table when the number of loops is two. When the number of loops is 2, in the reproduction music composition table, the performance part types “PS”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “P” are associated with the reproduction numbers “1” to “8”, respectively. “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “PE” are stored. When the number of loops is 3, in the reproduction music composition table, the performance part types “PS”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “P” are associated with the reproduction numbers “1” to “11”, respectively. “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “PE” are stored.

  Next, a specific example of generation of exercise unit information will be described. For example, it is assumed that the output terminal 5 determines “G1_A1” as the lesson purpose ID. The output terminal 5 acquires lesson information corresponding to the lesson purpose ID “G1_A1” from the purpose-specific lesson information table. As shown in FIG. 3B, the lesson information corresponding to the lesson purpose ID “G1_A1” stores theme IDs “G1_T1” to “G1_T5”. The output terminal 5 determines the theme ID of the specific theme in the order of the exercise number.

  FIGS. 4A to 4D are diagrams illustrating an example of a method for generating athletic unit information when the specific theme ID is “G1_T1”. FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of theme information of a specific theme. FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of music information of specific music. FIG. 4C is a diagram showing an example of a reproduction music composition table. FIG. 4D is a diagram illustrating an example of exercise unit information.

  For example, it is assumed that the output terminal 5 determines the theme ID “G1_T1” corresponding to the exercise number 1 as the theme ID of the specific theme, as illustrated in FIG. The specific theme in this case is aerobics warm-up. As shown in FIG. 2B, the song ID stored in the theme information table in association with “G1_T1” is “m10001”. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines “m10001” as the music ID of the specific music. Then, the output terminal 5 acquires music information corresponding to “m10001” from the music information table. Also, as shown in FIG. 4A, the exercise BPM corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T1” is 90. In the loop number information table shown in FIG. 3C, the number of loops corresponding to 90 BPM is one. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4C, the output terminal 5 reproduces the playback number, the performance part number, the performance part type, and the performance beat number that are included in the music information. A music composition table is generated.

  Next, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID. The performance part type of the performance part of reproduction number 1 is PS, and the performance beat number is 32 beats. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID “G1_T1_PS_L32_CN” corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T1”, the corresponding performance part type “PS”, and the exercise rate “32” from the exercise element information table.

  The performance part type of the performance part of the reproduction number 2 is P1, and the performance beat number is 32 beats. In addition, the motion element with the reproduction number 2 is executed continuously with the start motion element. Accordingly, the output terminal 5 obtains the exercise element ID “G1_T1_P1_L32_CS” corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T1”, the corresponding performance part type “P1”, the exercise rate “32”, and the connection type “T1_CS” from the exercise element information table. decide.

  The performance part type of the performance part with the reproduction number 3 is P2, and the performance beat number is 32 beats. In addition, the motion element with the reproduction number 3 is not continuously executed with either the start motion element or the end motion element. Accordingly, the output terminal 5 obtains the exercise element ID “G1_T1_P2_L32_CN” corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T1”, the corresponding performance part type “P2”, the exercise rate “32”, and the connection type “T1_CN” from the exercise element information table. decide.

  The performance part type of the performance part with the reproduction number 4 is P3, and the performance beat number is 64 beats. Further, the motion element with the reproduction number 4 is executed continuously with the end motion element. Therefore, the output terminal 5 obtains the exercise element ID “G1_T1_P3_L64_CE” corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T1”, the corresponding performance part type “P3”, the exercise rate “64”, and the connection type “T1_CE” from the exercise element information table. decide.

  The performance part type of the performance part of the reproduction number 5 is PE, and the performance beat number is 32 beats. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise element ID “G1_T1_PE_L32_CN” corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T1”, the corresponding performance part type “PE”, and the exercise rate “32” from the exercise element information table.

  The output terminal 5 associates each determined exercise element ID with the reproduction number of the reproduction music composition table, and generates exercise unit information as shown in FIG.

  FIGS. 4E to 4H are diagrams illustrating an example of a method for generating exercise unit information when the specific theme ID is “G1_T3”. FIG. 4E is a diagram illustrating an example of theme information of a specific theme. FIG. 4F is a diagram illustrating an example of music information of specific music. FIG. 4G is a diagram showing an example of a reproduction music composition table. FIG. 4H is a diagram illustrating an example of exercise unit information.

  Assume that the output terminal 5 determines the theme ID “G1_T3” corresponding to the exercise number 2 as the theme ID of the specific theme, as shown in FIG. The specific theme in this case is low impact 1 of aerobics. As shown in FIG. 3B, the song ID stored in the theme information table in association with the theme ID “G1_T3” is “m10002”. Therefore, the output terminal 5 determines the music ID “m10002” as the music ID of the specific music. Then, the output terminal 5 acquires music information corresponding to “m10002” from the music information table. Further, as shown in FIG. 4E, the exercise BPM corresponding to the theme ID “G1_T3” is 120 BPM. In the loop number table shown in FIG. 3C, the number of loops corresponding to 120 BPM is two. Therefore, the output terminal 5 associates the playback number “1” with the performance part number “1”, the performance part type “PS”, and the performance beat number “32” stored in association with the music information of the specific music.

For example, the CPU 51 causes the display 67 to display a list of exercise genres based on the genre ID and genre name stored in the genre information table. The operator 42 designates any exercise genre from the list by operating the remote controller 66 or the like. The CPU 51 acquires the genre ID of the designated exercise genre. Next, the CPU 51 acquires the lesson purpose ID for the lesson purpose of the exercise lesson performed by the user 41 (step S2). For example, the CPU 51 acquires a plurality of lesson purpose IDs and lesson purpose names corresponding to the acquired genre IDs from the lesson purpose information table. Next, the CPU 51 displays a list of lesson objectives on the display 67 based on the acquired lesson objective names. The operator 42 designates any lesson purpose from the list by operating the remote controller 66 or the like. The CPU 51 acquires a lesson purpose ID for the designated lesson purpose.

And CPU51 acquires the music information corresponding to acquired music ID from a music information table (step S32).

  Next, the CPU 51 generates a reproduction music composition table based on the acquired music information and the number of loops (step S33). First, the CPU 51 initializes the reproduction music composition table. Next, the CPU 51 acquires the performance part type and the beat number corresponding to the performance part number 1 from the music information, and associates the acquired performance part type and beat number with the playback number 1 and adds them to the playback music configuration table. Next, the CPU 51 sets the reproduction number j to 2. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the reproduction number j is equal to or less than the number of loops × (N−2) +1. N is the number of performance parts constituting the music. When the reproduction number j is equal to or less than the number of loops × (N−2) +1, the CPU 51 calculates the performance part number k by adding 1 to the remainder of dividing the reproduction number j−2 by N−2.

As shown in FIG. 6B, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j is the next performance part after the first performance part (step S51). For example, when the reproduction number j is 2, the CPU 51 determines that the performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j is the next performance part after the first performance part (step S51: YES). In this case, the CPU 51 sets the connection classification to Tn_CS (step S52), and proceeds to step S55. Tn varies depending on the theme ID corresponding to the exercise number i. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j is not the next performance part after the first performance part (step S51: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S53.

  In step S53, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j is the performance part immediately before the last performance part. For example, when the reproduction number j is 1 smaller than the value of the number of performance part types stored in the reproduction music composition table, the CPU 51 is the performance part immediately before the last performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j. It is determined that there is (step S53: YES). In this case, the CPU 51 sets the connection classification to Tn_CE (step S54), and proceeds to step S55. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j is not the performance part immediately before the last performance part (step S54: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S58.

  In step S55, the CPU 51 acquires the performance part type and performance beat number corresponding to the reproduction number j from the reproduction music composition table. Then, the CPU 51 obtains the exercise element ID corresponding to the theme ID corresponding to the exercise number i, the performance part type and the performance beat number of the performance part corresponding to the reproduction number j, and the connection classification set in step S52 or S53. Search from the motion element information table. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not an exercise element ID corresponding to the performance part type, performance beat number, and set connection category corresponding to the reproduction number j exists in the exercise element information table ( Step S56). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the corresponding motion element ID exists (step S56: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S57. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the corresponding motion element ID does not exist (step S56: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S58.

  In step S57, the CPU 51 acquires the retrieved exercise element ID from the exercise element information table. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S60. In step S58, the CPU 51 sets the connection classification to Tn_CN.

In step S42, when the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction number j is not less than or equal to the number of performance part types (step S42: NO), the motion element association process is terminated.

  When the exercise element association processing is completed, the CPU 51 ends the exercise unit generation processing shown in FIG. 5C, and reproduces the exercise content of the exercise unit with exercise number i as shown in FIG. 5B. Specifically, the CPU 51 sets the reproduction number j to 1. Next, the CPU 51 acquires the performance part type corresponding to the reproduction number j from the exercise unit information. Next, the CPU 51 outputs the audio signal of the performance part corresponding to the performance part type to the audio output unit 64 based on the music data corresponding to the music ID of the exercise number i. At this time, the CPU 51 outputs an audio signal according to the exercise BPM acquired from the theme information table. Thus, the performance part of the performance part type corresponding to the reproduction number j is output from the speaker 64 among the specific music corresponding to the exercise number i. In addition, the CPU 51 acquires an exercise element ID corresponding to the reproduction number j from the exercise unit information. Next, the CPU 51 sequentially generates a still image of a series of motion motions of the motion element based on the motion data corresponding to the motion element ID, and sequentially outputs the still image to the display control unit 56. At this time, the CPU 51 outputs a still image according to the exercise BPM acquired from the theme information table. As a result, a motion image of a series of motion motions of the motion element corresponding to the reproduction number j is displayed on the display 67. When the output of the performance part and the display of the motion image of the motion element are completed, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the reproduction number j is less than the value of the number of motion element IDs included in the motion unit information. At this time, if the reproduction number j is less than the value of the number of motion element IDs, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the reproduction number j. Then, the CPU 51 outputs the motion image and performance part of the motion element corresponding to the reproduction number j, as described above. When the reproduction number j is not less than the value of the number of exercise element IDs, the CPU 51 ends the reproduction of the exercise content.

  Next, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the exercise number i (step S15) and proceeds to step S12. In step S12, when the CPU 51 determines that the exercise number i is not less than or equal to the number of theme IDs (step S12: NO), the exercise content reproduction process is ended, and the main process shown in FIG.
