  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 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 is used by a user 41 of the facility 4. The facility 4 may be a sports facility, for example. The user 41 receives an exercise lesson at the sports facility. The exercise lesson is a lesson composed of a plurality of exercise movements and music. The output terminal 5 in this case 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. The speaker 64 is an example of the output means of the present invention. 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. 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.

[2. Assignment of motor movement to performance part]
The exercise content output by the monitor 57 when an exercise lesson is performed includes music and exercise video. The music is composed of a plurality of performance parts. The music is output from the speaker 64 in the order of performance parts according to the composition of the music. The order in which the performance parts are output is called the performance order. Each performance part may be, for example, a prelude, an A melody, a B melody, a chorus, an interlude or a posterior. A plurality of music pieces may be sequentially output from the speaker 64 in one exercise lesson. An exercise motion is assigned to each performance part constituting the music. The exercise operation is an operation for training the body, for example. Examples of the exercise operation include a gymnastic operation and a dance operation. The gymnastic exercise is, for example, an exercise performed for promoting health, strengthening physical strength, strengthening muscle strength, and the like. Examples of gymnastic exercises include aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, and stretching. The dance motion is a motion that is choreographed to the music to dance to the music. When outputting the exercise content, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display an exercise image in which the figure 83 performs the exercise operation assigned to the performance part output by the speaker 64.

  As shown in FIG. 1, motion data is registered in the database 3. The motion data is data that defines the motion motion of the figure 83 in the three-dimensional virtual space. Further, the motion data is data for causing the figure 83 displayed on the display 67 to perform an exercise motion. The motion data includes the coordinates of each part of the body of the figure 83 according to the progress of the motion movement. Specifically, the motion data includes the coordinates of the body part of the figure 83 according to the progress of the motion movement in time series. The body part of the figure 83 is displayed according to the motion data along the time series, so that an image of the figure 83 that performs a predetermined exercise operation is displayed on the display 67. In the present embodiment, the output terminal 5 displays a three-dimensional image of the figure 83 on the display 67 as a motion image. However, the output terminal 5 may display a two-dimensional image of the figure 83. Each motion data has versatility, for example. For example, each motion data may be created in advance so that it can be used for various musical pieces. The output terminal 5 automatically determines a motion ID to be assigned to each performance part from among motion IDs that can identify a plurality of motion data registered in the database 3. The motion ID is associated with attribute information indicating a predetermined attribute and stored in a predetermined storage unit.

  If the attributes of the motion ID match the attributes of the music piece and the performance part, basically the motion ID can be assigned to the performance part. As attributes of the motion ID, for example, there are the number of beats indicating the length of the motion, the type of performance part that can be assigned, the tempo of the motion, and the like. As an attribute of the music, for example, there is a tempo. The performance part attributes include, for example, the number of beats and the performance part type. However, as described above, motion data is created so that it can be used for various musical pieces. For this reason, if the connection between consecutive motor movements is not taken into consideration, the motor content with a sense of incongruity in the connection of motor movements is generated. For example, a March motion ID is assigned to the prelude, and a squat motion ID is assigned to the A melody played after the prelude. In this case, the figure 83 displayed on the display 67 performs a march operation in the prelude. Thereafter, when the performance is switched from the prelude to the A melody, the operation of the figure 83 is suddenly switched from the march to the squat. It may be difficult for the user 41 exercising while looking at the displayed figure 83 to naturally shift the exercise operation from the march to the squat.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a connection attribute is defined for the motion ID indicating each motion data so that the motion is naturally connected. This embodiment will be described using an example in which a connection attribute is defined for a component ID associated with a motion ID. Note that a connection attribute may be defined for the motion ID instead of the component ID. For example, each motion data may be created in advance so that an image of the figure 83 that sequentially executes the front connection operation, the main operation, and the back connection operation is displayed. The main operation is an operation mainly performed in the motion data. For example, the number of beats of the main operation is longer than the number of beats of the front connection operation and the back connection operation. The pre-joining operation is an exercise operation performed in the last part when a performance part in the order of performance is output before a performance part to which a part ID indicating motion data or a motion ID is assigned. The post-joining operation is an exercise operation performed at the last part of the performance part to which the component ID indicating the motion data or the motion ID is assigned. The sum of the number of beats of the main operation and the number of beats of the connecting operation matches the number of beats of the performance part to which the component ID can be assigned.

  The connection attribute is a kind of component ID attribute. Further, the connection attribute may be a kind of attribute of motion ID. As connection attributes, there are a front connection attribute and a back connection attribute. The previous connection attribute indicates the content of the previous connection operation. The back connection attribute indicates the content of the back connection operation. For example, assume that the front joining operation is a march, the main operation is a front lunge, and the back joining operation is a step. In this case, the front connection attribute indicates a march, and the rear connection attribute indicates a step.

  Motion data is created so that the front connection operation and the main operation are naturally connected, and the main operation and the back connection operation are naturally connected. For example, an acceleration sensor for acquiring the coordinates of a body part in a three-dimensional space is attached to a body such as an instructor. For example, acceleration sensors are attached to wrists, elbows, shoulders, bases of feet, knees, ankles, and the like. An instructor or the like performs an exercise operation composed of a front connecting operation, a main operation, and a rear connecting operation. Based on the acceleration information detected by the acceleration sensor, for example, a predetermined device acquires the coordinates of each body part when exercise motion is performed at predetermined time intervals. Then, based on the acquired coordinates, motion data is created. The predetermined device may be, for example, the output terminal 5, the distribution server 2, or the like.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram showing a configuration example of a motion operation called front lunge A. FIG. The front connecting operation, main operation, and rear connecting operation of the front lunge A are a march, a front lunge, and a step, respectively. Front lunge A is a motion action for a performance part of 64 beats. In the example of FIG. 2A, the number of beats of the front lunge of the main operation is 60, and the number of beats of the step of the front joint operation and the step of the back joint operation is 4, respectively. Note that the number of beats of the front connecting operation and the rear connecting operation may be any number of beats. Further, the front connecting operation, the main operation, and the rear connecting operation may be different motion operations. In addition, at least two of the front connection operation, the main operation, and the rear connection operation may be the same exercise operation. The motion data indicated by the component ID assigned to the first performance part among the plurality of performance parts constituting the music piece may be created so that only the main operation and the back connection operation are displayed. Also, the motion data indicated by the component ID assigned to the performance part to be played last may be created so that only the video of the front connection operation and the main operation is displayed.

  The output terminal 5 first searches for a component ID that can be assigned to the first performance part in the performance order. Specifically, the output terminal 5 searches for a component ID having an attribute that matches the attribute of the first performance part. Next, the output terminal 5 searches for a part ID that can be assigned to the second performance part. At this time, the output terminal 5 considers the connection attribute. Specifically, the output terminal 5 is a component ID having a front connection attribute that matches the rear connection attribute that can be assigned to the first performance part, and matches the attribute of the second performance part. Search for a component ID having an attribute. Next, the output terminal 5 searches for a part ID that can be assigned to the third performance part. Specifically, the output terminal 5 is a component ID having a front connection attribute that matches the back connection attribute of the component ID that can be assigned to the second performance part, and matches the attribute of the third performance part. Search for a component ID having an attribute. The output terminal 5 similarly searches for the component ID for the fourth and subsequent performance parts.

  The output terminal 5 generates a parts list based on the part ID search result for each performance part. The parts list is information that defines the structure of an exercise lesson. The parts list is an example of list information of the present invention. Specifically, the component list indicates a plurality of component IDs that match a plurality of performance parts constituting the music. In the parts list, a performance part ID, a part ID, and the like are stored for each performance part. The performance part ID is performance part identification information. For example, the performance part ID may indicate the performance order of performance parts identified from a plurality of performance parts constituting the music. The component ID is identification information for identifying motion data. For example, the motion motion is identified by the component ID. The component ID and the performance part ID of the performance part to which the component ID is assigned are associated with each other and stored in the component list. The component ID is an example of operation information in the present invention. For example, instead of the component ID, a motion ID or motion data may be used as the operation information of the present invention.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating an example of component ID assignment. In FIG. 2B, a certain musical piece includes performance parts 1 to 3. The performance part 1 is the first performance part, the performance part 2 is the second performance part, and the performance part 3 is the third performance part. The performance part 1 has 32 beats. The output terminal 5 assigns, for example, a component ID associated with the motion ID of March B to the performance part 1. March B is a 32-beat movement. The main operation and the back-joining operation of March B are both March. Therefore, the trailing attribute of March B indicates March. The performance part 2 has 64 beats. The output terminal 5 assigns to the performance part 2 a part ID whose front connection attribute indicates march among the part IDs associated with the motion ID indicating the 64-beat motion. For example, the part ID of the front lunge A shown in FIG. The March, which is the post-joining operation of the March B, and the March, which is the pre-joining operation of the front lunge A, are basically the same operation. The performance part 3 has 32 beats. The trailing attribute of the front lunge A indicates a step. The output terminal 5 assigns to the performance part 2 a component ID whose front connection attribute indicates a step among the component IDs associated with the motion ID indicating the 32-beat motion. For example, a component ID associated with the motion ID of squat C is assigned. The squat C front splicing operation and main operation are step and squat, respectively. The step that is the connecting operation of the front lunge A and the step that is the connecting operation of the squat C are basically the same operation.

  Assume that exercise content is generated based on the assignment result shown in FIG. In this case, while the exercise content is being output, while the 32 beats of the performance part 1 are being output, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display a video on which the figure 83 performs a March based on the motion data of March B. Note that, during the last four beats of the performance part 1, the output terminal 5 may cause the display 67 to display a video for performing a march based on the motion data of the front range A. Further, when motion data is generated from an actual motion of a human by using an acceleration sensor or the like, there is a case where a shift occurs between the march of the marching B's back-joining operation and the front-running A's front-joining motion. Therefore, the output terminal 5 may display on the display 67 an image for performing an intermediate operation between the March B back-joining operation March and the Front Range A front-joining operation March using both motion data. Good.

  Next, when the first 60 beats of the performance part 2 are output, the output terminal 5 displays a video for performing the front lunge based on the motion data of the front lunge A. When the performance part 1 is switched to the performance part 2, the figure 83 is displayed so as to be naturally connected from the march to the front lunge. The reason is that the connection attribute of the part ID of the March B and the front connection attribute of the part ID of the front range A indicate the same march. When the figure 83 starts the front lunge, which is the main operation of the front lunge A, the motion data of the front lunge A is created in advance so that the front lunge, which is the main motion, is naturally connected from the marching, which is the front linkage operation. . When the last four beats of the performance part 2 are being output, the output terminal 5 displays a video for performing the step based on the motion data of the front lunge A, for example. Next, when the performance part 3 is being output, the output terminal 5 displays a video for performing the squat based on the motion data of the squat C. When switching from the front lunge to the step and when switching from the step to the squat, the figure 83 is displayed so as to be connected naturally. In this way, the motion movement from the front lunge A to the squat C is naturally connected.

[3. Switching exercise intensity]
In this embodiment, the output terminal 5 makes it possible to switch exercise intensity while the user 41 is exercising in an exercise lesson. The exercise intensity indicates, for example, the magnitude of the burden on the body of the user 41 who performs the exercise operation, the intensity of the exercise operation, and the like. The higher the intensity of exercise, the greater the burden on the body or the more intense the movement. The higher the exercise intensity, the higher the heart rate of the user 41 who performs the exercise. As the attribute of each component ID, the exercise intensity of the exercise operation corresponding to the component ID is defined. In order to enable switching of exercise intensity, when the output terminal 5 generates a parts list, the output terminal 5 assigns a plurality of part IDs having different exercise intensities to each performance part constituting the music.

  The timing for switching the exercise intensity may be, for example, the timing for switching the performance part. When the output terminal 5 determines the part ID assigned to the performance part, if the connection of the movement is not taken into account, the exercise content having a sense of incongruity in the connection of the movement is generated when the exercise intensity is switched. For example, it is assumed that there are a weak level and a strong level as exercise intensity. For example, it is assumed that the performance part 1 is assigned with a component ID of a low level motion operation D, and the performance part 2 is assigned with a component ID of a weak level motion operation E. Here, if it is assumed that there is no switching of the exercise intensity, the back connection attribute of the motion motion D and the front connection attribute of the motion motion E need only match. However, it is assumed that the performance part 2 is assigned with the part ID of the high-level exercise action F in addition to the exercise action E. At this time, it is assumed that the back connection attribute of the motion motion D and the front connection attribute of the motion motion F do not match. When switching from the performance part 1 to the performance part 2, if the exercise intensity is switched from the weak level to the strong level, the exercise operation D is switched to the exercise operation F. In this case, the movement is not naturally connected.

  Therefore, the output terminal 5 first determines a part ID having a predetermined exercise intensity among a plurality of exercise intensities as a part ID assigned to each performance part constituting the music. At this time, the output terminal 5 determines the component ID having the front connection attribute that matches the rear connection attribute of the component ID assigned to the previous performance part as the component ID assigned to the next performance part. Next, the output terminal 5 determines a part ID having an exercise intensity different from a predetermined exercise intensity among a plurality of exercise intensities as a part ID assigned to each performance part. At this time, the output terminal 5 assigns, to the next performance part, the part ID having the front connection attribute that matches the back connection attribute of the part ID having the predetermined exercise strength among the part IDs assigned to the previous performance part. To decide. As a result, the connection attribute of a plurality of component IDs assigned to a certain performance part matches the connection attribute of a plurality of component IDs assigned to the next performance part of a certain performance part. Therefore, even when the exercise intensity is switched, the exercise operation can be automatically assigned to each performance part so that the connection of the exercise operation becomes natural.

[4. Details of component ID assignment and component list generation]
Next, information used for assigning a component ID and generating a component list will be described. In order to generate a parts list, an HDD (hard disk drive) 7 of the output terminal 5 stores a parts table, a joining operation table, an exercise genre table, and the like. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a component table. The component table is table information that defines component attributes, connection attributes, and the like. The component table stores a component ID, a component name, a performance part type, a beat number, an exercise tempo, a front connection attribute ID, a back connection attribute ID, a genre ID, a motion ID, an exercise intensity, and the like for each component ID.

  The component ID is identification information that can identify motion data. The part name is a name of the motion motion indicated by the motion data. The performance part type is a type of performance part to which a component ID can be assigned. The performance part type is an example of part information of the present invention. In FIG. 3A, for example, ptypes 1 to 5 are stored as performance part types. For example, ptype1 may be a prelude, ptype2 may be an A melody + rust, ptype3 may be an interlude, ptype4 may be an A melody + B melody, and ptype5 may be a posterior. The beat number indicates the length of the movement.

  The exercise tempo is a tempo at which an exercise operation is performed. For example, a plurality of exercise tempos are predetermined. For example, the exercise tempo may be determined at intervals of a predetermined number of beats. In the example of FIG. 3A, the part table indicates that motion data corresponding to 128 BPM, motion data corresponding to 140 BPM, and the like are registered. Each motion data is created in advance so that an image in which the figure 83 exercises at any one of a plurality of exercise tempos is displayed. In the database 3, motion data corresponding to each of a plurality of exercise tempos is registered for each performance part type. The parts table stores an exercise tempo corresponding to the motion data. The tempo stored in the parts table is an example of second tempo information in the present invention.

  The front connection attribute ID is identification information indicating the front connection attribute. The back connection attribute ID is identification information indicating a back connection attribute. FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the splicing operation table. The splicing operation table is table information that defines splicing attributes. In the splicing operation table, splicing operation IDs are stored. In FIG. 3B, for example, c1 to c5 are stored as the connection operation ID. For example, c1 is a march, c2 is a step, c3 is a stance, c4 is a squat, and c5 is upright. The front connection attribute ID and the back connection attribute ID are examples of connection attribute information in the present invention. For example, a plurality of front connection attribute IDs or a plurality of back connection attribute IDs may be stored in association with one component ID.

  The genre ID is identification information of the genre of the exercise to which the exercise motion belongs. FIG. 3C is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the exercise genre table. The exercise genre table is table information that defines an exercise genre. Genre ID is stored in the exercise genre table. In FIG. 3C, for example, j1, j2, etc. are stored as genre IDs. For example, j1 is an aerobic exercise and j2 is an adjustment exercise. The motion ID is identification information of motion data. The component ID and the motion ID basically correspond one to one. For example, only one of a component ID and a motion ID may be stored in the component table.

  The exercise intensity is the exercise intensity of the exercise operation indicated by the corresponding motion ID. In the example of FIG. 3A, any one of a strong level, a medium level, and a weak level is stored as the exercise intensity. The strong level is an example of third intensity information of the present invention, the intermediate level is an example of second intensity information of the present invention, and the weak level is an example of fourth intensity information of the present invention. In this embodiment, there are three levels of exercise intensity, but it may be two levels, or four or more levels.

  Next, a method for generating a component list when the component table shown in FIG. FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a music piece. As shown in FIG. 4A, the music piece X is composed of performance parts 1-8. The output terminal 5 determines an exercise tempo when reproducing exercise content based on the tempo of the music. The music is output according to the exercise tempo, and the display 67 displays a figure 83 that moves according to the exercise tempo. As described above, motion data corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined exercise tempos is registered. The output terminal 5 determines the tempo closest to the tempo of the music among the plurality of exercise tempos as the exercise tempo used for reproducing the exercise content. For example, it is assumed that the exercise tempo is defined as a multiple of 16 BPM, and the tempo of the music X is 125 BPM. In this case, 128 BPM is determined as the exercise tempo used for reproducing the exercise content. Also, the exercise genre is determined. For example, the operator 42 may select the exercise genre, or the output terminal 5 may determine the exercise genre. For example, it is assumed that aerobic exercise is selected as the exercise genre. For example, the output terminal 5 searches for a part ID to be assigned to each performance part from an intermediate level of exercise intensity.

  4B to 4G are diagrams illustrating an example of the update process of the parts list table. The parts list table is table information for storing one or more parts lists being generated. Information on each line of the parts list table corresponds to a parts list. Each column of the parts list table corresponds to a performance part. The output terminal 5 searches the component table for a component ID corresponding to an attribute that matches the attribute of the performance part 1 and the attribute of the music piece X. Retrieving the component ID from the component table is retrieving motion data indicated by the component ID from the HDD 7. The performance part attributes are the performance part type and the number of beats, and the performance part type and the number of beats of the performance part 1 are ptype1 and 32 beats. The attributes of the music are tempo and exercise genre, and the tempo and exercise genre of music X are 128 BPM and aerobic exercise. Therefore, the output terminal 5 searches the part table for the part ID corresponding to ptype1, 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise and corresponding to the middle level of exercise intensity as the assignment candidate part ID. To do. In the parts table, the part IDs of the exercise actions 1-1b and 1-2b correspond to ptype1, 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise and medium level. The output terminal 5 generates a parts list table in which the part IDs of the movements 1-1b and 1-2b are stored in the first columns of the first and second rows of the parts list table.

  The performance part type and the number of beats of performance part 2 are ptype 2 and 64 beats. Therefore, the output terminal 5 searches the part table for part IDs corresponding to ptype2, 64 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and medium level as part IDs of assignment candidates. In the component table, the component IDs of the exercise operations 2-1b to 2-3b, 2-5b, and 2-6b correspond to ptype2, 64 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and intermediate level. At this time, the output terminal 5 searches the component table for the component ID corresponding to the front connection attribute ID that matches the back connection attribute ID of the exercise operations 1-1b and 1-2b. The back link attribute ID of the exercise motion 1-1b matches the front link attribute ID of the exercise motion 2-1b. Therefore, the output terminal 5 stores the component ID of the exercise operation 2-1b in the second column of the first row of the component list table. The back connection attribute ID of the exercise operation 1-2b matches the front connection attribute ID of the exercise operation 2-2b. Therefore, the output terminal 5 stores the component ID of the exercise operation 2-2b in the second column of the second row of the component list table. Then, the parts list table is updated as shown in FIG.

  The performance part type and the number of beats of the performance part 3 are ptype 3 and 32 beats. Accordingly, the output terminal 5 searches the part table for part IDs corresponding to ptype3, 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and intermediate level as candidate parts IDs. The part IDs of the exercise actions 3-1b and 3-2b correspond to ptype3, 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise and medium level. At this time, the output terminal 5 searches the component table for the component ID corresponding to the front connection attribute ID that matches the back connection attribute ID of the exercise operations 2-1b and 2-2b. The back connection attribute ID of the exercise operation 2-1b matches the front connection attribute ID of the exercise operation 3-2b. Therefore, the output terminal 5 stores the component ID of the motion action 3-2b in the third column of the first row. The back link attribute ID of the exercise motion 1-2b does not match any of the front link attribute IDs of the motion motions 2-1b and 2-2b. Therefore, the output terminal 5 deletes the second row from the parts list table. Then, the parts list table is updated as shown in FIG. At this time, the number of rows in the parts list table is one.

  The performance part type and the number of beats of the performance part 4 are ptype 4 and 32 beats. Accordingly, the output terminal 5 searches the part table for the part ID corresponding to ptype4, 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and intermediate level. The part ID of the exercise operation 4-1b corresponds to ptype4, 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and medium level. At this time, the output terminal 5 searches the component table for the component ID corresponding to the front connection attribute ID that matches the rear connection attribute ID of the exercise action 3-2b. The back link attribute ID of the exercise motion 3-2b does not match the front link attribute ID of the exercise motion 4-1b. As a result, there is no allocation candidate for the performance part 4. In this case, the output terminal 5 searches the component ID by excluding the performance part type condition from the allocation candidate conditions for the performance part 4. That is, the output terminal 5 is a component ID corresponding to 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and a middle level from the component table, and the front connection attribute ID matches the rear connection attribute ID of the exercise action 3-2b. Search for an ID. The exercise operation 3-2b and the exercise operation 2-4b correspond to 32 beats, 128 BPM, aerobic exercise, and the intermediate level, and the front connection attribute ID of the exercise operation 3-2b and the exercise operation 2-4b is the exercise operation 3- It matches the 2b's trailing attribute ID. Therefore, the output terminal 5 adds one row for storing the component IDs of the exercise operations 1-1b, 2-1b, and 3-2b to the component list table. The output terminal 5 stores the component ID of the exercise operation 3-2b in the fourth column of the first row of the component list table, and the component of the exercise operation 2-4b in the fourth column of the second row. Store the ID. Then, the parts list table is updated as shown in FIG. At this time, the number of rows in the parts list table is two.

  The output terminal 5 also updates the parts list table for the performance parts 5 to 8 in the same manner as described above. Accordingly, the parts list table is updated as shown in FIGS. 4 (E) to 4 (G). In this way, a parts list indicating a movement action having a medium exercise intensity is generated as a plurality of movement actions suitable for a plurality of performance parts constituting the music piece X. Each component ID included in the component list at this time is associated with an intermediate level of exercise intensity. The number of rows in the parts list table shown in FIG. 4 (G) is one. Therefore, one part list is generated. When the number of rows in the parts list table is a plurality of lines, a plurality of parts lists are generated. In this case, for example, the user may select a parts list used for playing the exercise content, or the output terminal 5 may automatically determine.

  Next, the output terminal 5 searches for the component ID assigned to each performance part for the exercise intensity of the weak level and the strong level. At this time, the output terminal 5 obtains the part ID corresponding to the front connection attribute ID and the back connection attribute ID that match the front connection attribute ID and the back connection attribute ID of the medium-level part ID assigned to a certain performance part. Search as a candidate for assignment of the performance part. For example, the output terminal 5 searches for a part ID corresponding to the front connection attribute ID that matches the front connection attribute ID of the part ID of the operation 1-1b as the candidate for performance part 1. Further, the output terminal 5 searches the part ID corresponding to the front connection attribute and the rear connection attribute ID that match the front connection attribute and the rear connection attribute ID of the part ID of the operation 2-1b as the candidate for the performance part 2. .

  Since the component ID is searched under such conditions, the output terminal 5 may not be able to search for an allocation candidate. In that case, it is necessary to relax the conditions that are candidates for allocation. The conditions that are candidates for assignment include a front connection attribute ID, a back connection attribute ID, an exercise tempo, a performance part type, an exercise intensity, and whether or not an appearance has occurred. “Appeared” indicates that a component ID is included in the component IDs searched for as allocation candidates so far. Which of these conditions has priority is determined in advance, for example.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a relationship between allocation candidate conditions and priorities. In FIG. 5, a circle indicates that the condition is satisfied, and a cross indicates that the condition is not satisfied. Among the aforementioned conditions, exercise intensity is given the highest priority. The reason for this is to reliably search for weak or strong component IDs. When the exercise intensity of the part ID is at a low level or a high level, the exercise intensity condition is satisfied. Exercise intensity is not excluded from the allocation candidate conditions. Next, priority is given to the front connection attribute ID and the rear connection attribute ID. The reason for this is to connect the movement behavior naturally. When the front connection attribute ID of the component ID matches the rear connection attribute of the component ID assigned to the previous performance part, the condition of the front connection attribute ID is satisfied. When the subsequent attribute ID of the component ID matches the previous connected attribute ID of the component ID assigned to the next performance part, the condition of the subsequent attribute ID is satisfied. In FIG. 5, the condition of the front connection attribute ID is prioritized over the condition of the rear connection attribute ID. However, the condition of the back connection attribute ID may be prioritized over the condition of the front connection attribute ID. Next, exercise tempo is prioritized. The reason is that each performance part is surely assigned a component ID with a weak level of exercise strength and a component ID with a strong level of exercise strength. Even with the same exercise, the exercise intensity increases as the exercise tempo increases. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the exercise tempo of the exercise operation 1-1a is 128 BPM, and the exercise intensity is at a weak level. This indicates that when the user 41 executes the exercise operation 1-1b at 128 BPM, the exercise intensity becomes a weak level. When the exercise tempo becomes faster than 128 BPM to some extent, when the user 41 executes the exercise operation 1-1b, the exercise intensity becomes a medium level or a strong level. The exercise tempo of the exercise operation 1-1c is 128 BPM, and the exercise intensity is at a high level. This indicates that when the user 41 executes the exercise operation 1-1c at 128 BPM, the exercise intensity becomes a high level. When the exercise tempo becomes slower than 128 BPM to some extent, when the user 41 executes the exercise operation 1-1c, the exercise intensity becomes a medium level or a weak level. Next, the performance part type has priority. The reason why the exercise tempo is prioritized over the performance part type is that even if the performance part type of the part ID does not match the performance part type of the performance part, it is possible to perform the exercise with the exercise intensity corresponding to the part ID. Because. If the component ID satisfies at least one of the front connection attribute ID, the back connection attribute ID, the exercise tempo, and the performance part type, it does not matter whether or not it has already appeared. If the component ID does not satisfy any of these conditions, a component ID that has not yet appeared is prioritized.

  The output terminal 5 searches for a component ID whose exercise intensity is at a low level. And the output terminal 5 calculates the score for determining a priority with respect to each searched component ID. The higher the score, the higher the priority. For example, when the condition of the previous connection attribute ID is satisfied, 9 is added to the score. In the case where the condition of the trailing connection attribute ID is satisfied, 8 is added to the score. When the condition of the exercise tempo is satisfied, 4 is added to the score. When the performance part type condition is satisfied, 2 is added to the score. The output terminal 5 determines the component ID having the highest score as the component ID assigned to the performance part. The output terminal 5 adds the determined component ID to the generated component list in association with the part ID of the performance part and the weak level of exercise intensity. Further, the output terminal 5 performs the same process for the strong level. Thereby, the output terminal 5 finally generates a parts list including the part IDs associated with the weak level, the medium level, and the strong level for each performance part. FIG. 4H is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a final parts list. Note that the output terminal 5 may search for the component ID for only one of the exercise levels of the weak level and the strong level. Then, the output terminal 5 may generate a component list including a component ID associated with the intermediate level and a component ID associated with the weak level or the strong level.

[5. Details of switching exercise intensity]
In the exercise lesson, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display an exercise image of the exercise operation according to the exercise intensity. At the start of the reproduction of the music, the output terminal 5 may display an exercise image of the exercise operation corresponding to the weak component ID, for example. And the output terminal 5 switches exercise intensity based on predetermined conditions. Then, the output terminal 5 displays an exercise image of the exercise operation corresponding to the switched exercise intensity component ID. For example, the output terminal 5 may switch the exercise intensity based on the heart rate of the user 41 who is exercising. For example, the user 41 wears a heart rate measuring device 68. The output terminal 5 receives heart rate information indicating the heart rate from the heart rate measuring device 68. The output terminal 5 determines an appropriate heart rate range. The suitable heart rate range is a heart rate range suitable for the user 41 who is exercising. For example, the output terminal 5 may determine an appropriate heart rate range according to the age of the user 41 and the purpose of exercise. When the heart rate of the user 41 is within the appropriate heart rate range, the output terminal 5 does not switch the exercise intensity. When the heart rate of the user 41 is lower than the appropriate heart rate range, the output terminal 5 switches the exercise intensity to an exercise intensity higher than the current exercise intensity. When the heart rate of the user 41 is higher than the appropriate heart rate range, the output terminal 5 switches the exercise intensity to an exercise intensity lower than the current exercise intensity. The output terminal 5 determines the exercise intensity in the performance part in the next performance order based on the heart rate when the performance part in the certain performance order is output. For example, the output terminal 5 may use the heart rate acquired at a predetermined timing during the period in which the performance part is being output. In addition, the output terminal 5 may use a heart rate for a predetermined period in a period in which the performance part is output, for example.

  By the way, the output terminal 5 can sequentially output a plurality of music pieces from the speaker 64 in one exercise lesson, and display a motion image corresponding to each music piece on the display 67. At this time, after the output of a certain piece of music is completed, the user 41 may be able to specify whether or not to take a break before starting to output the music in the next performance order. For example, by operating the output terminal 5, the user 41 can designate a plurality of songs constituting an exercise lesson, the order of performance of the songs, whether or not to put a break time between exercises, and the like. During the break time, the output terminal 5 may output, for example, a break tune by the speaker 64. The break music is a predetermined music for a break. The break music is composed of, for example, one performance part. When the break tune is being output, the output terminal 5 may cause the display 67 to display, for example, an exercise image in which the figure 83 is taking a break. Further, the output terminal 5 may output the end song through the speaker 64 at the end of the exercise lesson. The end song is a predetermined song indicating completion of the exercise lesson. The end song is composed of, for example, one performance part. When the end song is being output, the output terminal 5 may cause the display 67 to display an exercise image in which the figure 83 is performing an action such as deep breathing.

  The output terminal 5 controls the exercise intensity according to whether or not there is a break time between the music in a certain performance order and the music in the next performance order. Specifically, when there is no break time, the output terminal 5 outputs the first performance part of the next performance order based on the heart rate when the last performance part of the previous performance order is output. Determine the exercise intensity when. On the other hand, when there is a break time, the output terminal 5 determines the exercise intensity when the first performance part in the next performance order is output to a weak level. The reason is that during the break time, the heart rate of the user 41 returns to the heart rate when not exercising. When the output of the next music is started, the person with lower exercise intensity does not put a sudden burden on the body of the user 41. For example, the output terminal 5 can determine whether or not there is a break time based on the music list. The music list is information indicating whether or not there is a break time between music pieces as well as the performance order of a plurality of music pieces. The music list is an example of the order list of the present invention. For example, in the music list, a plurality of performance orders and music IDs are stored in association with each other. The music ID is identification information that can identify the music. For example, the output terminal 5 determines that there is a break time when the music ID of the next performance order is the music ID of the break music. The output terminal 5 generates a music list based on the operation of the user 41, for example.

  It should be noted that it may be possible to specify whether or not to put a break time between performance parts included in the music as well as between music parts. And the output terminal 5 may determine whether there exists a break time for every performance part. In this case, the music list indicates, for example, the performance order of a plurality of performance parts, and whether or not there is a break time between the performance parts. For example, a plurality of performance orders, music IDs, and performance part IDs are stored in the music list in association with each other. For example, the user 41 may select the exercise intensity with the remote controller 66 or the like during an exercise lesson. Then, the output terminal 5 may switch to the exercise intensity selected by the user 41.

[6. Configuration of each device]
Next, the configuration of each device included in the athletic content generation system will be described with reference to FIG.

[6-1. Configuration of distribution server 2]
As shown in FIG. 1, the distribution server 2 includes a CPU 21, ROM 22, RAM 23, bus 24, I / O interface 25, display control unit 26, disk drive 28, network communication unit 30, and HDD 37. The CPU 21 is connected to the ROM 22, RAM 23, and I / O interface 25 via the bus 24. The CPU 21 controls each unit of the distribution server 2 by executing a program stored in the ROM 22 or the HDD 37. Connected to the I / O interface 25 are a database 3, a display control unit 26, a disk drive 28, a network communication unit 30, a keyboard 31, a mouse 32, and an HDD 37. The CPU 21 accesses the database 3 via the I / O interface 25. The display control unit 26 outputs a video signal to the monitor 27 based on the control of the CPU 21. The disk drive 28 writes data to and reads data from the recording medium 29. The network communication unit 30 performs control for the distribution server 2 to connect to the network 10. The HDD 37 stores an OS, various control programs, and the like.

  In the database 3, data such as music data, motion data, parts table, splicing operation table, and exercise genre table are registered. The music data is performance data for outputting music from the speaker 64. The music data may be, for example, data in MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) format. The song data includes information such as the song ID, song name, artist name, original tempo, and composition of the performance part of the song. The music ID is music identification information. The original tempo is an example of first tempo information in the present invention. In addition, the music data defines the timing of switching performance parts. For example, if the music data is data in the MIDI format, the music data can include a meta event in addition to the MIDI event as actual performance data. Examples of the meta event include a performance part start event. The performance part start event is an event that notifies the performance start of the performance part. The performance part start event includes the performance part part ID, performance part type, beat number, and the like. The music data is an example of music information in the present invention. The motion data is registered in association with the motion ID. Also, motion data corresponding to the break music is stored in association with the motion ID and the music ID of the break music. Also, motion data corresponding to the end song is stored in association with the motion ID and the song ID of the end song. The motion data may be registered in association with the component ID, for example.

[6-2. Configuration of output terminal 5]
As shown in FIG. 1, the output terminal 5 includes a CPU 51, a ROM 52, a RAM 53, a bus 54, an I / O interface 55, a display control unit 56, a disk drive 58, a network communication unit 60, an audio output unit 63, and a signal receiving unit. 65, a heart rate information receiver 69 and an HDD 7. The CPU 51 is connected to the ROM 52, RAM 53, and I / O interface 55 via the bus 54. The CPU 51 has a clock function and a timer function. The CPU 51 controls each unit of the output terminal 5 by executing a program stored in the ROM 52 or the HDD 7. Connected to the I / O interface 55 are an HDD 7, a display control unit 56, an audio output unit 63, a disk drive 58, a network communication unit 60, a keyboard 61, a mouse 62, and a signal receiving unit 65. The display control unit 56 outputs a video signal to the monitor 57 based on the control of the CPU 51. The audio output unit 63 outputs an audio signal to the monitor 57 based on the control of the CPU 51. The disk drive 58 writes and reads data to and from the recording medium 59. The signal receiving unit 65 receives a signal output from the remote controller 66. The remote controller 66 is for the operator 42 to operate the output terminal 5. The heart rate information receiving unit 69 receives the heart rate information transmitted from the heart rate measuring device 68.

  The HDD 7 is an example of a first storage unit and a second storage unit of the present invention. The first storage unit and the second storage unit may be the same storage device, or may be different storage devices. The HDD 7 stores data such as music data, motion data, parts table, splicing operation table, and exercise genre table distributed from the distribution server 2. Further, the HDD 7 stores the generated parts list and music list.

  The HDD 7 further stores various programs such as an OS, an exercise support program, a 3D engine, and a music sequencer. The exercise support program is a program for supporting the exercise of the user 41. The exercise support program causes the CPU 51 as a computer to execute at least a first search step, a second search step, and a generation step. The 3D engine is a program for generating an image obtained by projecting a figure 83 that moves in a three-dimensional virtual space onto a two-dimensional plane based on motion data. The process of generating an image includes projective transformation, clipping, hidden surface removal, shading, texture mapping, and the like. The CPU 51 executes the 3D engine and sequentially generates still images. The CPU 51 sequentially outputs the generated still image to the display control unit 56, whereby a motion image is displayed on the display 67.

  The music sequencer is a program for reproducing music data. The CPU 51 generates a sound signal corresponding to the music data by executing the music sequencer. Further, the CPU 51 generates various events by executing the music sequencer. As an event, for example, there is an event that occurs at a predetermined time interval according to the tempo. This event is called a MIDI clock or synchronization event. As an event, for example, there is a performance part start event.

  Various programs may be downloaded from the server such as the distribution server 2 via the network 10, for example. 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.

[7. Operation of Exercise Content Generation System 1]
Next, the operation of the exercise content generation system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. For example, the operator 42 performs an operation for starting an exercise lesson with the remote controller 66 or the like. The operator 42 may be a user 41, for example. Then, the CPU 51 generates a parts list and a music list, and reproduces exercise content based on the parts list and the music list. First, the CPU 51 executes a selection information acquisition process as a pre-process for generating a parts list. In the selection information acquisition process, the CPU 51 acquires information necessary for generating a parts list. The flowchart of the selection information acquisition process is omitted. Specifically, in the selection information acquisition process, the CPU 51 determines the music to be used for the exercise lesson. For example, the operator 42 may select a song, and the CPU 51 may accept a selection result input by the operator 42. CPU51 acquires music ID of the determined music. Further, the CPU 51 acquires the original tempo of the music and the performance part start event of each performance part constituting the music from the music data of the determined music. In addition, the CPU 51 acquires exercise intensity setting information corresponding to the music ID from the HDD 7. Next, the CPU 51 determines an exercise tempo used for reproducing exercise content. For example, assume that a plurality of exercise tempos are stored in the HDD 7. The CPU 51 acquires each exercise tempo from the HDD 7. For each acquired exercise tempo, the CPU 51 calculates the difference between the exercise tempo and the original tempo of the music. Then, the CPU 51 determines the exercise tempo with the smallest difference as the exercise tempo used for reproducing the exercise content. Next, the CPU 51 determines an exercise genre. For example, the operator 42 may select an exercise genre and the CPU 51 may accept the selection result.

  When the selection information acquisition process ends, the CPU 51 executes a parts list generation process. In the parts list generation process, the CPU 51 searches for a part ID to be assigned to each performance part of the determined music from among part IDs having a medium exercise intensity. Then, the CPU 51 generates a parts list. FIG. 6A is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of the parts list generation processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 6A, the CPU 51 sets the performance order N to 1 (step S1). Next, the CPU 51 is a component corresponding to the determined exercise genre, the number of beats of the performance part in the performance order N and the determined exercise tempo, and the exercise genre, the number of beats, the tempo and the exercise intensity that match the medium level exercise intensity. The ID is searched from the component table (step S2). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the performance order N is greater than 1 (step S3). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the performance order N is greater than 1 (step S3: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S5. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the performance order N is not greater than 1 (step S3: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the CPU 51 searches for the component ID corresponding to the performance part type that matches the performance part type of the performance part N from the component IDs searched in step S2 based on the component table. Then, the CPU 51 generates a component list table that stores the retrieved component ID. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S14.

  In step S5, the CPU 51 sets the row number K of the parts list table to 1. Next, the CPU 51 has a component ID corresponding to the performance part type that matches the performance part type of the performance part N from the component IDs retrieved in step S2 based on the component table, and the performance order N. The part ID corresponding to the front connection attribute ID corresponding to the rear connection attribute ID corresponding to the part ID of the performance candidate assignment part K of -1 is searched (step S6). The part ID of the performance part assignment candidate K in the performance order N-1 is the part ID stored in the (N-1) th column of the Kth row in the parts list table. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the corresponding component ID has been searched (step S7). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the component ID has been searched (step S7: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the component ID has not been searched (step S7: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S8.

  In step S8, the CPU 51 matches the connection attribute ID corresponding to the part ID of the performance part assignment candidate K in the performance order N-1 from the part IDs searched in step S2 based on the part table. The part ID corresponding to the previous connection attribute ID is searched. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the corresponding component ID has been searched (step S9). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the component ID has been searched (step S9: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the component ID has not been searched (step S9: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S10. In step S10, the CPU 51 deletes the Kth row from the parts list table. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S12.

  In step S11, the CPU 51 updates the parts list based on the search result in step S6 or 8. Specifically, the CPU 51 stores the retrieved component ID in the Nth column of the corresponding row. When a plurality of component IDs are retrieved for one row, the CPU 51 adds a row having the same content to the component list table. Then, the CPU 51 stores a plurality of retrieved component IDs in a plurality of rows. Next, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the line number K (step S12). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the row number K is less than or equal to the row number R (step S13). The number of rows R is the number of rows in the parts list table before update. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the row number K is equal to or less than the row number R (step S13: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S6. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the line number K is not less than the number of lines R (step S13: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, the CPU 51 changes the number of rows R to the number of rows in the updated parts list table. Next, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the performance order N (step S15). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the performance order N is equal to or less than the total number of performance parts constituting the selected music piece (step S16). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the performance order N is less than or equal to the total number of performance parts (step S16: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the performance order N is not less than the total number of performance parts (step S16: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S17. In step S <b> 17, the CPU 51 determines a parts list to be used for reproduction of exercise content from the parts list generated in the parts list table. For example, the operator 42 may select. Then, the CPU 51 may determine a parts list based on the selection result input by the operator 42. When finishing the process of step S17, the CPU 51 ends the parts list generation process.

  When the parts list generation process ends, the CPU 51 executes a candidate generation process. In the candidate generation process, the CPU 51 searches for a component ID to be assigned to each performance part of the determined music from among component IDs with low and high exercise intensity. Then, the CPU 51 adds the searched component ID to the generated component list. FIG. 6B is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of candidate generation processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 6B, the CPU 51 sets the exercise intensity to a weak level (step S21). Next, the CPU 51 executes a component candidate determination process (step S22). In the part candidate determination process, the CPU 51 searches for a part ID assigned to each performance part from the part IDs of the set exercise intensity. Then, the CPU 51 adds the searched component ID to the determined component list. Next, the CPU 51 sets the exercise intensity to a strong level (step S23). Next, the CPU 51 executes a part candidate determination process (step S24). After finishing step S24, the CPU 51 ends the candidate generation process.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of the component candidate determination processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 51 sets the performance order N to 1 (step S31). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the set exercise intensity is at a weak level (step S32). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the exercise intensity is at a weak level (step S32: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S33. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the exercise intensity is not at a weak level (step S32: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S34. In step S <b> 33, the CPU 51 obtains the component ID corresponding to the determined exercise genre, the number of beats of the performance part in the performance order N, and the exercise genre, the number of beats, and the exercise intensity corresponding to the weak level of exercise intensity from the component table. Search for. Next, the CPU 51 retrieves a component ID corresponding to a tempo equal to or higher than the determined exercise tempo from the retrieved component IDs. Then, the CPU 51 generates a candidate list including the searched component ID as an allocation candidate. The reason why the tempo of the component ID to be searched is limited to the exercise tempo or less is to prevent the actual exercise intensity from exceeding the intermediate level. If the user 41 performs an exercise operation corresponding to the component ID in accordance with an exercise tempo that is higher than the tempo corresponding to the component ID having a weak exercise intensity, the exercise intensity may be higher than the weak level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S35.

  In step S34, the CPU 51 displays the component ID corresponding to the determined exercise genre, the number of beats of the performance part in the performance order N, and the exercise genre, the number of beats, and the exercise intensity matching the strong level of exercise intensity. Search from. Next, the CPU 51 searches for the component ID corresponding to the tempo equal to or less than the determined exercise tempo from the retrieved component IDs. Then, the CPU 51 generates a candidate list including the searched component ID as an allocation candidate. The reason why the tempo of the component ID to be searched is limited to the exercise tempo or less is to prevent the actual exercise intensity from becoming below the intermediate level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S35.

  In step S35, the CPU 51 sets the maximum score value Max for determining the priority to 0. Further, the CPU 51 sets the order i of allocation candidates in the candidate list to 0. Further, the CPU 51 obtains a component ID corresponding to the medium level exercise intensity from the component list as the component ID assigned to the Nth performance part in the performance order. Next, the CPU 51 acquires the previous connection attribute ID corresponding to the component ID from the component table as the previous connection attribute IDα. Further, the CPU 51 acquires a back connection attribute ID corresponding to the part ID from the part table as a back connection attribute ID β.

  Next, the CPU 51 sets the score γ to 0 (step S36). Next, the CPU 51 acquires the previous connection attribute ID corresponding to the component ID of the i-th assignment candidate from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the acquired previous connection attribute ID matches the previous connection attribute IDα (step S37). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired previous connection attribute ID matches the previous connection attribute IDα (step S37: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S38. In step S38, the CPU 51 adds 9 to the score γ. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S39. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired previous connection attribute ID does not match the previous connection attribute IDα (step S37: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S39.

  In step S39, the CPU 51 acquires a back connection attribute ID corresponding to the component ID of the i-th assignment candidate from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the acquired back connection attribute ID matches the back connection attribute ID β. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired back-connection attribute ID matches the back-connection attribute ID β (step S39: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S40. In step S40, the CPU 51 adds 8 to the score γ. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S41. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired back connection attribute ID does not match the back connection attribute ID β (step S39: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S41.

  In step S41, the CPU 51 acquires the tempo corresponding to the component ID of the i-th allocation candidate from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the acquired tempo matches the exercise tempo. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired tempo matches the exercise tempo (step S41: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S42. In step S42, the CPU 51 adds 4 to the score γ. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S43. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired tempo does not match the exercise tempo (step S41: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S43.

  In step S43, the CPU 51 acquires a performance part type corresponding to the component ID of the i-th assignment candidate from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the acquired performance part type matches the performance part type of the performance part with the performance order N. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired performance part type matches the performance part type of the performance part of the performance order N (step S43: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S44. In step S44, the CPU 51 adds 2 to the score γ. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S45. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the acquired performance part type does not match the performance part type of the performance part with the performance order N (step S43: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S45.

  In step S45, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the maximum value Max is smaller than the score γ. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the maximum value Max is smaller than the score γ (step S45: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S46. In step S46, the CPU 51 sets the maximum value Max to the value of the score γ. Next, the CPU 51 determines the component ID of the i-th assignment candidate as the component ID Δ having the highest score at the present time (step S47). Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S48. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the maximum value Max is not smaller than the score γ (step S45: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S48.

  In step S <b> 48, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the order i is smaller than the total number of allocation candidate component IDs included in the candidate list. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the order i is smaller than the total number of candidate component IDs to be assigned (step S48: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S49. In step S49, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the order i. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S36. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the order i is not smaller than the total number of candidate component IDs to be assigned (step S48: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S50.

  In step S50, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the maximum value Max is zero. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the maximum value Max is not 0 (step S50: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S54. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the maximum value Max is 0 (step S50: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S51. In step S <b> 51, the CPU 51 determines whether there is a component ID that has not yet appeared in the allocation candidate component IDs. Specifically, the CPU 51 determines whether there is a component ID that is not registered in the component list among the component IDs included in the candidate list. At this time, if there is a component ID that is not registered in the component list in the candidate list, the CPU 51 determines that there is a component ID that has not yet appeared (step S51: YES). In this case, the CPU 51 determines one of the component IDs not registered in the component list as the component ID Δ (step S52). Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S54. On the other hand, if there is no component ID in the candidate list that is not registered in the component list, the CPU 51 determines that there is no component ID that has not yet appeared (step S51: NO). In this case, the CPU 51 determines any one of the component IDs included in the candidate list as the component ID Δ (step S53). Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S54.

  In step S54, the CPU 51 adds the component ID Δ to the component list in association with the performance part ID of the performance part in the performance order N and the set exercise intensity. Next, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the performance order N (step S55). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the performance order N is equal to or less than the total number of performance parts constituting the determined music (step S56). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the performance order N is less than or equal to the total number of performance parts (step S56: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S35. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the performance order N is not less than or equal to the total number of performance parts (step S56: NO), it ends the component candidate determination process.

  When the candidate generation process ends, the CPU 51 determines whether or not to further add music output in the exercise lesson. For example, the operator 42 selects whether or not to add music. The CPU 51 makes a determination based on the selection operation by the operator 42. If the CPU 51 determines to add a song, the CPU 51 executes the selection information acquisition process, the parts list generation process, and the candidate generation process again to generate a parts list of the added music. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines not to add a song, the CPU 51 generates a song list. Specifically, the CPU 51 determines the performance order of the music determined in the selection information acquisition process, and the performance order of the break music and the end music. For example, the operator 42 specifies the performance order of music. Further, the operator 42 designates whether or not to take a break for each piece of music. Based on the operation designated by the operator 42, the CPU 51 determines the performance order of the music and the rest music determined in the selection information acquisition process. Then, the CPU 51 determines the performance order of the end music in the last performance order. The CPU 51 generates a music list including the determined performance order and music ID.

  When the music list is generated, the CPU 51 determines the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the appropriate heart rate range. Here, the operator 42 inputs the age of the user 41 who participates in the exercise lesson. Further, the operator 42 selects the purpose of exercise. Examples of exercise include fat burning and physical strength enhancement. For example, as the age of the user 41 is higher, the CPU 51 decreases the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the appropriate heart rate range. For example, when the exercise purpose is fat burning, the CPU 51 decreases the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the appropriate heart rate range as compared with the case of physical strength enhancement.

  Next, the CPU 51 executes a reproduction process. In the reproduction process, the CPU 51 reproduces the exercise content based on the parts list and the music list. 8 and 9 are flowcharts showing a processing example of the reproduction processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 51 sets the beat number T to the acquisition timing beat number stored in advance in the storage unit 7 (step S61). The acquisition timing number of beats indicates the number of beats from when the heart rate of the user 41 is acquired to when the performance part output ends. Next, the CPU 51 sets the musical performance order M to 1. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a song ID corresponding to the performance order M from the song list. Next, the CPU 51 acquires music data and a parts list corresponding to the music ID from the HDD 7 (step S62).

  Next, the CPU 51 sets the performance order N of the performance parts to 1. Further, the CPU 51 sets the exercise intensity to a weak level (step S63). Next, the CPU 51 acquires, from the component list, a component ID corresponding to a weak level of exercise intensity among component IDs corresponding to the performance part IDs of the performance parts in the performance order N. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a motion ID corresponding to the acquired component ID from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 stores the acquired component ID in the RAM 53 in association with the musical performance order M and the performance part performance order N (step S64).

  Next, the CPU 51 changes the tempo of the music in the performance order M from the original tempo to the exercise tempo determined by the selection information acquisition process (step S65). Next, the CPU 51 starts playback of the performance part N and the performance video in the performance order N (step S66). Specifically, the CPU 51 reproduces the performance part in the performance order N by the music sequencer based on the music data of the music in the performance order M. As a result, the CPU 51 causes the speaker 64 to output a performance part. At this time, the CPU 51 outputs the music according to the exercise tempo determined in the selection information acquisition process. Further, the CPU 51 acquires motion IDs corresponding to the musical performance order M and the performance part performance order N from the RAM 53. And CPU51 starts reproduction | regeneration of a motion image | video based on the motion data corresponding to acquired motion ID. At this time, the CPU 51 sequentially generates still images of the main operation and sequentially outputs the still images to the display control unit 56. Next, the CPU 51 sequentially generates still images for the back-joining operation, and sequentially outputs the still images to the display control unit 56. As a result, the CPU 51 causes the display 67 to display the motion video.

  Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not there is a performance part in the next performance order in the music order in the performance order M (step S67). Specifically, when the performance order N of the performance parts is less than the total number of performance parts constituting the music of the performance order M, the CPU 51 determines that there is a performance part of the next performance order (step S67: YES). . In this case, the process proceeds to step S76. On the other hand, if the performance order N is not less than the total number of performance parts, the CPU 51 determines that there is no performance part in the next performance order (step S67: NO). In this case, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S68. In step S <b> 68, the CPU 51 acquires the music ID of the performance order M + 1 from the music list. Next, the CPU 51 acquires music data and a parts list corresponding to the music ID from the HDD 7.

  Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the music ID of the performance order M + 1 is the music ID of the break music (step S69). At this time, when the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the performance order M + 1 is the music ID of the break music (step S69: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S70. In step S <b> 70, the CPU 51 acquires a motion ID corresponding to the music ID of the break music from the HDD 7. Then, the CPU 51 stores the acquired motion ID in the RAM 53 in association with the musical performance order M + 1 and the first performance order of the performance part. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S92. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the performance order M + 1 is not the music ID of the break music (step S69: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S71.

  In step S71, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the music ID of the performance order M + 1 is the music ID of the end music. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the song ID of the performance order M + 1 is the song ID of the end song (step S71: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S72. In step S <b> 72, the CPU 51 acquires a motion ID corresponding to the song ID of the end song from the HDD 7. Then, the CPU 51 stores the acquired motion ID in the RAM 53 in association with the musical performance order M + 1 and the first performance order of the performance part. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S92. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the performance order M + 1 is not the music ID of the end music (step S71: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S73.

  In step S <b> 73, based on the music ID corresponding to the performance order M, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the music ID of the currently playing music is the music ID of the break music. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the music being reproduced is the music ID of the break music (step S73: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S74. In step S74, the CPU 51 changes the exercise intensity to a weak level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S91. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the music being reproduced is not the music ID of the break music (step S73: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S75.

  In step S75, based on the music ID corresponding to the performance order M, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the music ID of the currently playing music is the music ID of the end music. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the music being reproduced is the music ID of the end music (step S75: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S92. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the music ID of the music being reproduced is not the music ID of the end music (step S75: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S76.

  In step S76, the CPU 51 determines whether or not T beats have elapsed since the end of playback of the performance part currently being played back. Specifically, the CPU 51 acquires the number of beats of the performance part from the performance part start event of the performance part in the performance order N included in the music data. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the number of beats until the heart rate is acquired by subtracting T from the number of beats of the performance part. Next, the CPU 51 calculates a time corresponding to the number of beats based on the calculated number of beats and exercise tempo. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the elapsed time from the playback start time of the performance part. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the elapsed time is equal to or longer than the time corresponding to the number of beats. At this time, if the elapsed time is not equal to or more than the time corresponding to the number of beats, the CPU 51 determines that it is not T beats before the end of playing the currently played performance part (step S76: NO). In this case, the CPU 51 waits for a predetermined time and executes the determination in step S76 again. On the other hand, if the elapsed time is equal to or greater than the time corresponding to the number of beats, the CPU 51 determines that T beats have elapsed since the end of playback of the currently playing performance part (step S76: YES). In this case, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S81.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in step S <b> 81, the CPU 51 acquires the heart rate information received by the heart rate information receiving unit 69 from the heart rate measuring device 68. Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the heart rate indicated by the heart rate information is less than the lower limit value of the appropriate heart rate range (step S82). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the heart rate is not less than the lower limit (step S82: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S86. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the heart rate is less than the lower limit (step S82: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S83. In step S83, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the current exercise intensity is at a weak level. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the exercise intensity is at a low level (step S83: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S84. In step S84, the CPU 51 changes the exercise intensity to a medium level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S91. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the exercise intensity is not at a weak level (step S83: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S85. In step S85, the CPU 51 changes the exercise intensity to a strong level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S91.

  In step S86, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the heart rate indicated by the heart rate information is larger than the upper limit value of the appropriate heart rate range. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the heart rate is not greater than the upper limit (step S86: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S87. In step S87, the CPU 51 determines not to change the exercise intensity. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S91. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the heart rate is greater than the upper limit (step S86: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S88. In step S88, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the current exercise intensity is at a high level. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the exercise intensity is at a high level (step S88: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S89. In step S89, the CPU 51 changes the exercise intensity to a medium level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S91. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the exercise intensity is not at a high level (step S88: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S90. In step S90, the CPU 51 changes the exercise intensity to a weak level. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S91.

  In step S91, the CPU 51 obtains a motion ID corresponding to the exercise intensity set in step S74, S84, S85, S87, S89 or S90 as the motion ID of the exercise operation executed in the performance part to be output next. To do. Specifically, it is assumed that the performance order N of the performance parts is less than the total number of performance parts constituting the music of the performance order M. In this case, the CPU 51 obtains a component ID corresponding to the set exercise intensity from among the component IDs corresponding to the performance part ID of the performance part of the performance order N + 1 from the parts list of the music order of the performance order M. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a motion ID corresponding to the acquired component ID from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 stores the acquired motion ID in the RAM 53 in association with the musical performance order M and the performance part performance order N + 1. On the other hand, it is assumed that the performance order N of the performance parts is not less than the total number of performance parts constituting the music of the performance order M. In this case, the CPU 51 obtains a component ID corresponding to the set exercise intensity from among the component IDs corresponding to the performance part ID of the performance part having the first performance order from the component list of the music piece in the performance order M + 1. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a motion ID corresponding to the acquired component ID from the component table. Then, the CPU 51 stores the acquired motion ID in the RAM 53 in association with the musical performance order M + 1 and the first performance order of the performance part.

  Next, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the reproduction of the performance part by the music sequencer has been completed (step S92). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction of the performance part has not ended (step S92: NO), the CPU 51 waits for a predetermined time and executes the determination in step S92 again. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction of the performance part has ended (step S92: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S93. In step S93, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the reproduction of the music pieces in the performance order M has been completed. Specifically, when the performance order N of the performance parts is less than the total number of performance parts constituting the music of the performance order M, the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction of the music has not ended (step S93: NO). In this case, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the performance order N (step S94). Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S66. On the other hand, when the performance order N is not less than the total number of performance parts, the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction of the music has ended (step S93: YES). In this case, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the reproduction of the end music has ended (step S95). Specifically, when the music ID of the performance order M is not the music ID of the end music, the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction of the end music has not ended (step S95: NO). In this case, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the performance order M (step S96). Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S65. On the other hand, when the music ID of the performance order M is the music ID of the end music, the CPU 51 determines that the reproduction of the end music has ended (step S95: YES). In this case, the CPU 51 ends the reproduction process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the CPU 51 matches the connection attribute of the component ID that is a candidate assigned to the first performance part after the component ID corresponding to the medium level of exercise intensity. The part ID corresponding to the attribute is searched as a candidate to be assigned to the performance part having the second performance order. Further, the CPU 51 sets the connection attribute that matches the connection attribute of the component ID that is a candidate to be assigned to the first performance part among the component IDs corresponding to at least one of the exercise intensity of the weak level and the strong level. The corresponding part ID is searched as a candidate to be assigned to the performance part having the second performance order. Then, the CPU 51 associates the performance ID having the second performance order with the part ID corresponding to the middle level exercise intensity and the middle level exercise intensity, and assigns the second performance part to the second performance part with the weak level. Alternatively, a component list in which a component ID corresponding to a strong exercise intensity is associated with a weak or strong exercise intensity is generated. Therefore, it is possible to automatically assign an exercise operation to each performance part so that the connection of the exercise operation becomes natural and the exercise operation can be performed with the set exercise intensity.

  In the above embodiment, the output terminal 5 first searches for a component ID that can be assigned to the first performance part in the performance order. However, the output terminal 5 may first search for a component ID that can be assigned to a performance part different from the first performance part in the performance order. Thereafter, the output terminal 5 may search for the assignable component IDs in the order of performance from the performance part in the performance order next to the performance part for which the assignable component ID has been searched.

  In the above embodiment, the information processing apparatus of the present invention is applied to the output terminal 5. However, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may be applied to the distribution server 2. For example, the distribution server 2 may generate a parts list and exercise information. Further, the distribution server 2 may generate audio data and moving image data based on the exercise information. The audio data in this case is data for outputting music or the like. The moving image data is data for displaying an exercise video or the like. When the exercise lesson is performed, the distribution server 2 transmits the audio data and the moving image data to the output terminal 5 by, for example, a streaming method. As a result, the distribution server 2 causes the output terminal 5 to output the music and display the motion video. Further, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may be applied to the output terminal 5 and the distribution server 2. The output terminal 5 and the distribution server 2 may perform processing in cooperation.
