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 units and a plurality of music pieces. The exercise unit is an example of the exercise of the present invention. Each exercise unit is constituted by a plurality of exercise operations. An exercise unit is associated with one or more songs. The output terminal 5 may be a personal computer, for example.

  The output terminal 5 can be connected to the monitor 57. The monitor 57 may be a display device including a plurality of speakers 64 and a display 67. In this case, the output terminal 5 can be connected to the display 67. The display 67 is an example of display means of the present invention. The output terminal 5 can be connected to a speaker 64. When the output terminal 5 outputs an audio signal to the monitor 57, music or the like is output from the speaker 64. When the output terminal 5 outputs a video signal to the monitor 57, an exercise video or the like is displayed on the display 67. The motion video is an example of video information of the present invention. 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. Download of motion data and music data]
As described above, an exercise lesson is composed of a plurality of exercise units and a plurality of music pieces. Each exercise unit is constituted by a plurality of exercise operations. 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. The exercise unit and the music are associated with each other. For example, one exercise unit is assigned to one music piece, or a plurality of music pieces are assigned to one exercise unit. The output terminal 5 displays exercise images of a plurality of exercise units constituting an exercise lesson on the display 67 according to the execution order of the exercise units. When an exercise image of a certain exercise unit is displayed, the output terminal 5 causes the speaker 64 to output music associated with the exercise unit. When one athletic unit is assigned to one music piece, for example, the music piece may be composed of a plurality of performance parts. As a performance part, for example, there is a prelude, A melody, B melody, rust, interlude or posterior. For example, each performance part is assigned to each movement part that constitutes an exercise unit assigned to a musical piece. In this case, the output terminal 5 outputs music in the order of performance parts according to the composition of the music. Then, the output terminal 5 displays a motion image of the motion motion assigned to the currently output performance part. When a plurality of pieces of music are assigned to one exercise unit, for example, one piece of music may be assigned to each of a plurality of exercise movements constituting the exercise unit. In this case, the music may be composed of only a predetermined performance part. For example, the music may be composed only of the rust portion, or may be composed of the A melody and the rust portion. In this case, the output terminal 5 sequentially displays exercise images of a plurality of exercise operations that constitute the exercise unit. At this time, the output terminal 5 may repeatedly output, for example, a predetermined performance part of the music assigned to the exercise operation for which the exercise image is currently displayed.

  Motion data is required to display motion images. Also, music data is required to output music. Motion data is an example of operation information of the present invention. 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. The motion data may be created for each exercise operation, for example. The motion data may be created for each exercise unit, for example. In this case, the motion data is data for displaying an exercise image in which the figure 83 performs a plurality of exercise operations constituting the exercise unit. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that motion data is created in units of exercise units.

  The music data is an example of music information of the present invention. 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 music data may be created for each music, for example. When a plurality of music pieces are associated with one exercise unit, one piece of music data may be data for outputting one piece of music, for example. In this case, a plurality of music data is associated with one exercise unit. For example, one piece of music data may be data for outputting a plurality of music pieces. In this case, one piece of music data may be associated with one exercise unit. In the present embodiment, as an example, one piece of music data is associated with one exercise unit.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the motion data and music data are registered in the database 3. For example, each motion data is registered in association with an exercise unit ID. The exercise unit ID is identification information that can identify the exercise unit. In this embodiment, the exercise unit is also information that can identify motion data. For example, the music data is registered in association with the music ID. The music ID is information that can identify music data.

  In the HDD 7 of the output terminal 5, for example, a genre table, a lesson table, an exercise unit table, and a lesson detail table are stored. For example, the output terminal 5 may download these tables from the distribution server 2 in advance.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a genre table. The genre table is a table that defines the genre of exercise. As shown in FIG. 2A, in the genre table, a genre ID and a genre name are registered for each genre name. The genre ID is identification information that can identify the genre. FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a lesson table. The lesson table is a table that defines basic attributes of exercise lessons. As shown in FIG. 2B, a lesson ID, a genre ID, and a lesson name are registered for each exercise lesson in the lesson table. The lesson ID is identification information that can identify a lesson. The genre ID indicates the exercise genre of the exercise lesson indicated by the lesson ID. FIG. 2C is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the exercise unit table. The exercise unit table is a table that defines an exercise unit. As shown in FIG. 2C, an exercise unit ID, an exercise unit name, and a genre ID are registered for each exercise unit in the exercise unit table. The genre ID indicates the genre of the exercise of the exercise unit indicated by the exercise unit ID. In FIG. 2C, for the sake of convenience, the display of exercise units having genres other than genre ID J1 is omitted.

  FIG. 2D is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the lesson detail table. The lesson detail table is a table that defines a plurality of exercise units constituting an exercise lesson and the execution order of the exercise units. As shown in FIG. 2D, in the lesson detail table, records storing a lesson ID, a lesson execution order number, an exercise unit ID, and a song ID are registered for each exercise unit constituting the exercise lesson. The exercise unit ID indicates one of exercise units constituting the exercise lesson indicated by the lesson ID. The exercise unit ID is an example of exercise identification information of the present invention. Basically, lesson IDs of exercise lessons belonging to the same exercise genre and exercise unit user IDs are stored in association with each other. The lesson execution order number indicates the order in which the exercise unit indicated by the exercise unit ID is executed among the plurality of exercise units constituting the exercise lesson indicated by the lesson ID. The lesson execution order number is an example of order information of the present invention. The music ID indicates music data associated with the exercise unit indicated by the exercise unit ID. Information shown in the lesson detail table will be specifically described with reference to FIG. For example, an exercise lesson whose lesson ID is L1 is an aero lesson beginner's class. Aero Lesson Beginners are five exercise units: March Step V Step Beginner, March Leg Curl Grapevine Beginner, Break 1, March Repeat Backerge Beginner and March Mambo Step Chasse Beginner It consists of Multiple exercise units are executed in the order of March Step V Step Beginner, March Leg Curl Grapevine Beginner, Break 1, March Repeater Buckrange Beginner, March Mambostep Chasse Beginner. In this embodiment, for the sake of convenience, the break is also an exercise unit. The break in this case is called a break unit.

  The motion data and music data registered in the database 3 may be updated at any time by, for example, an administrator of the athletic content generation system 1. In order to output exercise content using the latest motion data and music data, the output terminal 5 downloads motion data and music data each time an exercise lesson is started. Specifically, the output terminal 5 outputs the exercise content of each exercise unit according to the execution order of the plurality of exercise units constituting the exercise lesson. Further, the output terminal 5 downloads motion data and music data of each exercise unit according to the execution order of the plurality of exercise units constituting the exercise lesson while outputting exercise content. In such an aspect, even if it is a stage which outputs the exercise | movement content of a certain exercise | movement unit, the download of the motion data and music data of the exercise | movement unit may not be completed. In this case, until the download is completed, the output terminal 5 cannot output the exercise content of the exercise unit and cannot display the exercise image on the display 67. Therefore, the user 41 waits without exercising until the download is completed.

  Therefore, when the output of the motion content of the motion motion of a certain motion unit is completed, the output terminal 5 determines whether the motion data and music data of the motion unit in the next execution order have been downloaded. If the download has not been completed, the output terminal 5 causes the display 67 to display a video prompting an action according to the remaining predicted download time. The remaining predicted download time is the time calculated by the output terminal 5 as the time required to download the motion data and music data of the exercise unit in the next execution order. The remaining predicted download time is the time required for download from the present time. In other words, the remaining predicted download time is the time required for downloading a portion of the motion data and the entire music data that has not been downloaded yet.

  For example, when the remaining predicted download time is longer than a predetermined time, the output terminal 5 displays a motion video of the general motion unit. The general exercise unit is, for example, an exercise unit configured by an exercise operation of a predetermined genre. The general exercise unit can be used for exercise lessons of a predetermined genre. Since the user 41 only needs to execute the general exercise unit while looking at the display 67, it is possible to prevent the user 41 from being hand-held without exercising for a long time. On the other hand, when the remaining predicted download time is shorter than the predetermined time, the output terminal 5 displays an image prompting standby. There are a standby screen and a break instruction screen as images for prompting the standby. For example, a message such as “Please wait for a while”, “Loading”, or “Downloading” is displayed on the display 67 as the standby screen. The break instruction screen is an image prompting a break. As the break instruction screen, for example, instructions such as “please take a break while relaxing” and “please take a break with water supply” are displayed on the display 67. This break is referred to as a general-purpose break unit for convenience.

  As information for displaying an image that prompts an action according to the remaining predicted download time, the HDD 7 of the output terminal 5 includes general-purpose information such as an execution processing table for each remaining predicted download time, a general exercise unit table, and a general break unit table for each genre. Motion data of the exercise unit is stored. The output terminal 5, for example, these data may be downloaded from the distribution server 2 in advance. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an execution processing table for each remaining predicted download time. The remaining predicted download time execution processing table is a table that defines what processing the output terminal 5 executes according to the remaining predicted download time. As shown in FIG. 3A, the type, the shortest time, the longest time, and the execution process information are registered in the execution process table for each remaining predicted download time. The type is identification information that can identify the process executed by the output terminal 5. The execution process information is information indicating a process executed by the output terminal 5. The shortest time and the longest time indicate the range of the remaining predicted download time. In the example of FIG. 3A, when the remaining predicted download time is longer than 0 seconds and not longer than 15 seconds, the output terminal 5 displays a standby screen. The type in this case is GW. When the remaining predicted download time is longer than 15 seconds and not longer than 90 seconds, the output terminal 5 displays a break instruction screen. The type in this case is GB. When the remaining predicted download time is longer than 90 seconds and shorter than 180 seconds, the output terminal 5 displays the motion video of the general motion unit. The type in this case is GU. When the remaining predicted download time is longer than 180 seconds, the output terminal 5 displays the motion video of the general motion unit. Furthermore, the output terminal 5 stops the download of the motion data and music data of the athletic unit that should output athletic content at the present time. Then, the output terminal 5 starts downloading the motion data and music data of the exercise unit in the execution order next to the exercise unit whose download has been stopped. The reason for performing this process is to prevent the time during which the user 41 does not execute the exercise unit constituting the exercise lesson from being delayed due to the download delay. The type in this case is GUC.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the general-purpose exercise unit table. The general exercise unit table is a table that defines a general exercise unit. As shown in FIG. 3B, the general exercise unit ID, the exercise unit name, and the genre ID are registered for each general exercise unit in the general exercise unit table. The general exercise unit ID is an exercise unit ID that can identify the general exercise unit. The genre ID indicates the genre of exercise of the general exercise unit. FIG. 3C is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the general-purpose break unit table. The general break unit table is a table that defines a general break unit. As shown in FIG. 3C, a general-purpose break unit ID, a break unit name, and a genre ID are registered for each general-purpose break unit in the general-purpose break unit table. The general break unit ID is an exercise unit ID that can identify the general break unit. The genre ID indicates the genre of exercise corresponding to the general break unit.

  The output terminal 5 may determine one or more exercise units that preferentially download motion data and music data among a plurality of exercise units constituting an exercise lesson. Then, the output terminal 5 may download the motion data and music data of the determined exercise unit before the motion data and music data of other exercise units. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the start of the output of the motion content of the motion unit determined to be preferentially downloaded due to the delay in the download of the motion data and the music data. In addition, it is possible to reduce the possibility that exercise content will not be output due to cancellation of download.

  Here, the output terminal 5 may download the motion data and music data of the exercise unit determined to be preferentially downloaded before the output of the exercise content of the exercise unit with the first execution order is started. This exercise unit is referred to as a pre-acquisition exercise unit. In this case, the exercise content of the pre-acquired exercise unit can be output without delay due to download. Further, it is possible to prevent the exercise content of the pre-acquisition exercise unit from being output due to the stop of the download.

  For example, the pre-acquisition exercise unit may be set in advance. FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a pre-acquisition exercise unit list. The prior acquisition exercise unit list is list information indicating the advance acquisition exercise unit. As shown in FIG. 4A, the pre-acquisition exercise unit stores a lesson ID, a lesson execution order number, an exercise unit ID, and a prior acquisition flag for each exercise unit. The lesson ID, lesson execution order number, and exercise unit ID are a copy of the lesson ID, lesson execution order number, and exercise unit ID stored in the lesson detail table. The advance acquisition flag indicates whether or not the exercise unit indicated by the exercise unit ID is the advance acquisition exercise unit. In the example of FIG. 4A, each exercise unit of lesson execution order numbers 1 and 5 is a pre-acquired exercise unit. The pre-acquisition exercise unit list may be registered in the database 3, for example. Then, the output terminal 5 may download the pre-acquisition exercise unit list from the distribution server 2. In this case, the output terminal 5 determines the pre-acquisition exercise unit based on the pre-acquisition flag of the pre-acquisition exercise unit list.

  Further, the number of pre-acquisition exercise units may be set in advance. The number of pre-acquisition exercise units is the number of pre-acquisition exercise units. The output terminal 5 may automatically determine pre-acquired exercise units for the number of pre-acquired exercise units and generate a pre-acquired exercise unit list. For example, the output terminal 5 may determine the number of exercise units for the number of pre-acquisition exercise units as the pre-acquisition exercise units in the order of execution order. Thereby, the possibility that the output terminal 5 stops the download can be reduced. FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating a generation example of the pre-acquisition exercise unit list. For example, when the number of pre-acquisition exercise units is 2, each exercise unit of lesson execution order numbers 1 and 2 is determined as the pre-acquirement exercise unit.

  In addition, a pre-acquisition ratio may be set in advance. The pre-acquisition ratio indicates the ratio of the pre-acquisition exercise unit among the plurality of exercise units constituting the exercise lesson. The output terminal 5 may determine the pre-acquisition exercise unit based on the pre-acquisition ratio and the number of exercise units constituting the exercise lesson. The number of exercise units that make up an exercise lesson is called the number of exercise units. Specifically, the output terminal 5 calculates the following formulas 1 and 2.

Number of pre-acquisition exercise units = ROUND (number of exercise units x pre-acquisition ratio)
Advance acquisition interval = number of exercise units ÷ number of advance acquisition exercise units ・ ・ ・ Equation 2
ROUND () indicates rounding off. The pre-acquisition interval is a difference in execution order between the pre-acquisition exercise units. Next, the output terminal 5 performs calculation of the following Expression 3.

Lesson execution order number (i) = ROUND (pre-acquisition interval × i) Equation 3
i is any value from 1 to the number of pre-acquired exercise units. The output terminal 5 sequentially assigns values from 1 to the number of pre-acquired exercise units to i, and calculates lesson execution order numbers (i) for the number of pre-acquired exercise units. Next, the output terminal 5 calculates the following Expression 4 for each lesson execution order number (i).

Lesson execution order number (i) = Lesson execution order number (i) −Lesson execution order number (1) +1.
As a result, the output terminal 5 determines the final lesson execution order number of the pre-acquisition exercise unit. In this case, an exercise unit that can reliably output exercise content appears at every pre-acquisition interval from the start to the end of the exercise lesson. Therefore, even if there is an exercise unit for which downloading has been stopped, the user 41 can execute the exercise unit to some extent even from the start to the end of the exercise lesson. FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating a generation example of the pre-acquisition exercise unit list. For example, it is assumed that the pre-acquisition ratio is 0.3 and the number of exercise units is 5. In this case, the number of pre-acquisition exercise units is 2. The pre-acquisition interval is 2.5. If 1 is multiplied by 2.5 and rounded, the lesson execution order number is 3, and if 2 is multiplied by 2.5 and rounded, the lesson execution order number is 5. Here, the output terminal 5 determines the final lesson execution order numbers 1 and 3 of the pre-acquisition exercise units by subtracting 2 from the lesson execution order numbers 3 and 5, respectively.

  For example, the distribution server 2 may generate a pre-acquisition exercise unit list, and the output terminal 5 may download the pre-acquisition exercise unit list from the distribution server 2.

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 and 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 HDD 7 is an example of a storage unit of the present invention. In the HDD 7, a genre table downloaded from the distribution server 2, a lesson table, an exercise unit table, a lesson detail table, an execution processing table by remaining prediction download time, a general exercise unit table, a general break unit table by genre, standby screen data, Data such as break instruction screen data and motion data of the general exercise unit is stored.

  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 operating the output terminal 5. The exercise support program causes the CPU 51 as a computer to execute at least a reception step, a download step, a setting step, a determination step, and a control 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.
[4. Operation of Exercise Content Generation System 1]
Next, the operation of the exercise content generation system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5A is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of the main processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. For example, the operator 42 performs an operation for starting an exercise lesson with the remote controller 66 or the like. At this time, the operator 42 selects an exercise lesson to be executed from a plurality of exercise lessons. Then, the remote controller 66 transmits an exercise lesson start command, and the CPU 51 receives the start command via the signal receiving unit 65. Thus, the CPU 51 accepts an exercise lesson start command. Thereby, the CPU 51 starts main processing.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the CPU 51 acquires information on the exercise lesson selected by the operator 42 (step S1). Specifically, the CPU 51 specifies the lesson ID of the exercise lesson selected by the operator 42. Next, the CPU 51 acquires all records storing the lesson ID of the selected exercise lesson from the lesson detail table. Then, the CPU 51 stores the acquired record in the RAM 53. Further, the CPU 51 calculates the number of records stored in the RAM 53 as the number of exercise units. Further, the CPU 51 stores a download flag and a completion flag in the RAM 53 in association with the lesson execution order number stored in each record. The download flag indicates whether to download motion data and music data. The completion flag indicates whether the download of motion data and music data has been completed. The CPU 51 sets each download flag to TRUE and each completion flag to FALSE.

  Next, the CPU 51 executes a pre-acquisition exercise unit download process (step S2). In the advance acquisition exercise unit download process, the CPU 51 downloads motion data and music data of the advance acquisition exercise unit. Details of the pre-acquisition exercise unit download process will be described later. Next, the CPU 51 starts the exercise unit download process with a thread different from the main process thread (step S3). In the exercise unit download process, the CPU 51 sequentially downloads motion data and music data during the reproduction of exercise content. Details of the exercise unit download process will be described later. Next, the CPU 51 executes a reproduction process (step S4). In the reproduction process, the CPU 51 reproduces exercise content. Details of the reproduction process will be described later. When step S4 is completed, the CPU 51 ends the main process.

  FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C are flowcharts illustrating processing examples of the pre-acquisition exercise unit download process of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5, respectively. FIG. 5B shows a processing example when the number of pre-acquisition exercise units is set in advance. FIG. 5C shows an example of processing when the pre-acquisition ratio is set in advance. For example, the CPU 51 may execute the process shown in FIG. 5B or the process shown in FIG. First, the process illustrated in FIG. 5B will be described. The CPU 51 acquires a preset number of pre-acquisition exercise units from the HDD 7 (step S11).

  Next, the CPU 51 generates a pre-acquisition exercise unit list (step S12). Specifically, the CPU 51 acquires a lesson execution order number from each record stored in the RAM 53. Then, the CPU 51 stores the pre-acquisition flag set in TRUE in the RAM 53 in association with each record whose lesson execution order number is equal to or less than the value of the pre-acquisition exercise unit number. Further, the CPU 51 stores a pre-acquisition flag set in FALSE in the RAM 53 in association with each record having a lesson execution order number larger than the value of the number of pre-acquisition exercise units. Thus, the CPU 51 determines a pre-acquisition exercise unit and generates a pre-acquisition exercise unit list.

  Next, the CPU 51 downloads motion data and music data of the pre-acquisition exercise unit (step S13). Specifically, the CPU 51 acquires the exercise unit ID and the music piece ID of the advance acquisition exercise unit from the record whose advance acquisition flag is TRUE. Next, the CPU 51 transmits an upload request including the acquired exercise unit ID and music ID to the distribution server 2. The CPU 21 of the distribution server 2 that has received the upload request acquires the exercise unit ID and the song ID from the upload request. Next, the CPU 21 acquires motion data corresponding to the exercise unit ID from the database 3 and uploads it to the output terminal 5. Thus, the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5 downloads the motion data from the distribution server 2 and stores the motion data in the HDD 7 in association with the exercise unit ID and the lesson execution order number of the pre-acquired exercise unit. Next, the CPU 21 of the distribution server 2 acquires music data corresponding to the music ID from the database 3 and uploads it to the output terminal 5. Thus, the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5 downloads the music data from the distribution server 2 and stores the music data in the HDD 7 in association with the music ID and the lesson execution order number of the pre-acquired exercise unit. When the download is completed, the CPU 51 changes the completion flag of the pre-acquisition exercise unit to TRUE. By changing the completion flag from FALSE to TRUE, the CPU 51 sets the display of the motion video of the motion unit that has been downloaded and the start of the output of the music. The CPU 51 executes the downloading of the motion data and the music data for all the records whose advance acquisition flag is TRUE. When step S13 ends, the CPU 51 ends the pre-acquisition exercise unit download process.

  Next, the process illustrated in FIG. 5C will be described. The CPU 51 acquires a preset prior acquisition ratio from the HDD 7 (step S21). Next, the CPU 51 calculates a prior acquisition interval (step S22). Specifically, the CPU 51 calculates Formula 1 and Formula 2 described above. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the pre-acquisition interval by dividing the number of exercise units by the number of pre-acquisition exercise units. Next, the CPU 51 generates a pre-acquisition exercise unit list (step S23). Specifically, the CPU 51 calculates the lesson execution order number of the pre-acquired exercise unit list by calculating the above formulas 3 and 4. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a lesson execution order number from each record stored in the RAM 53. The CPU 51 stores the pre-acquisition flag set in TRUE in the RAM 53 in association with the lesson execution order number of the pre-acquisition exercise unit among the acquired lesson execution order numbers. Further, the CPU 51 stores a pre-acquisition flag set in FALSE in the RAM 53 in association with a lesson execution order number different from the lesson execution order number of the pre-acquisition exercise unit. Thus, the CPU 51 determines a pre-acquisition exercise unit and generates a pre-acquisition exercise unit list.

  Next, the CPU 51 downloads motion data and music data of the pre-acquisition exercise unit (step S24). The process of step S24 is the same as step S13 shown in FIG. When step S24 ends, the CPU 51 ends the pre-acquisition exercise unit download process.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing example of the reproduction processing of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 51 sets N to the number of exercise units (step S31). Next, the CPU 51 sets the lesson execution order number i to 1 (step S32). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether i is N or less (step S33). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that i is N or less (step S33: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S34. In step S34, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the completion flag associated with the lesson execution order number i is TRUE.

  At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the completion flag is TRUE (step S34: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S35. In step S <b> 35, the CPU 51 displays an exercise image of the exercise unit with the lesson execution order number i and outputs a music piece. Specifically, the CPU 51 causes the display control unit 56 to output the video signal of the motion video to the display 67 based on the motion data stored in the HDD 7 in association with the lesson execution order number i. Further, the CPU 51 causes the audio output unit 63 to output the audio signal of the music to the speaker 64 based on the music data stored in the HDD 7 in association with the lesson execution order number i. When the output of the video signal and the output of the audio signal is completed, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S36.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the completion flag is not TRUE (step S34: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S37. In step S37, the CPU 51 acquires the remaining predicted download time. Specifically, the CPU 51 calculates the total data size by adding the data size of the motion data and the data size of the music data stored in the RAM 53 in association with the lesson execution order number i. The data size is stored in the RAM 53 in the exercise unit download process. Next, the CPU 51 acquires the current data size of the motion data and music data downloaded to the HDD 7 in association with the lesson execution order number i. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the remaining download size by subtracting the current data size from the total data size. Next, the CPU 51 acquires the current time from the clock function. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the elapsed time from the download start time of the motion data and music data to the current time. The download start time is stored in the RAM 53 in the exercise unit download. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the download size per second by dividing the current data size by the elapsed time. Next, the CPU 51 calculates the remaining estimated download time by dividing the remaining download size by the download size per second.

  Next, the CPU 51 obtains the longest time α corresponding to the type GW from the remaining predicted download time execution processing table. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the remaining predicted download time is equal to or shorter than α (step S38). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the remaining predicted download time is equal to or shorter than α (step S38: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S39. In step S <b> 39, the CPU 51 displays a standby screen on the display 67 based on the standby screen data stored in the HDD 7. For example, the CPU 51 displays a standby screen until the remaining estimated download time elapses. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S34.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the remaining estimated download time is not less than α (step S38: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S40. In step S40, the CPU 51 obtains the longest time β corresponding to the type GB from the remaining predicted download time execution processing table. The value of β is larger than the value of α. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the remaining predicted download time is equal to or shorter than β. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the remaining predicted download time is equal to or shorter than β (step S40: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S41. In step S <b> 41, the CPU 51 displays a break instruction screen on the display 67. Specifically, the CPU 51 acquires a genre ID corresponding to the lesson ID of the selected exercise lesson from the lesson table. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a general break unit ID corresponding to the acquired genre ID from the general break unit table. When there are a plurality of general-purpose break unit IDs corresponding to the acquired genre ID, for example, the CPU 51 may randomly determine the general-purpose break unit ID to be acquired. Next, the CPU 51 displays a break instruction screen based on the break instruction screen data stored in the HDD 7 in association with the acquired general-purpose break unit ID. For example, the CPU 51 displays a break instruction screen until the remaining estimated download time elapses. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S34.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the remaining predicted download time is not less than β (step S40: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S42. In step S42, the CPU 51 obtains the longest time γ corresponding to the type GU from the remaining predicted download time execution processing table. The value of γ is larger than the value of β. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the remaining estimated download time is γ or less. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the remaining predicted download time is γ or less (step S42: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S43. In step S <b> 43, the CPU 51 causes the display 67 to display a general-purpose exercise video. Specifically, the CPU 51 acquires a genre ID corresponding to the lesson ID of the selected exercise lesson from the lesson table. Next, the CPU 51 acquires a general exercise unit ID corresponding to the acquired genre ID from the general exercise unit table. When there are a plurality of general-purpose exercise unit IDs corresponding to the acquired genre ID, for example, the CPU 51 may randomly determine the general-purpose exercise unit ID to be acquired. Next, the CPU 51 causes the display control unit 56 to output a video signal of the motion video to the display 67 based on the motion data stored in the HDD 7 in association with the acquired general motion unit ID. For example, the CPU 51 displays a general-purpose exercise video until the remaining predicted download time elapses. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S34.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the remaining predicted download time is not less than γ (step S42: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S44. In step S44, the CPU 51 changes the download flag corresponding to the lesson execution order number i to FALSE. Next, the CPU 51 displays a general-purpose exercise video on the display 67 (step S45). The process of step S45 is the same as that of step S43. For example, the CPU 51 displays the motion image of the general motion until γ seconds elapse. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S36.

  In step S36, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the lesson execution order number i. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S33. In step S33, if the CPU 51 determines that i is not N or less (step S33: NO), it ends the reproduction process.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of the athletic unit download process of the CPU 51 of the output terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 51 sets N to the number of exercise units (step S51). Next, the CPU 51 sets the lesson execution order number j to 1 (step S52). Next, the CPU 51 determines whether j is N or less (step S53). At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that j is N or less (step S53: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S54. In step S54, the CPU 51 acquires the current time from the clock function. Next, the CPU 51 stores the current time in the RAM 53 as the download start time. Further, the CPU 51 sets the downloaded data size of each of the motion data and the music data to 0. Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the completion flag corresponding to the lesson execution order number j is TRUE. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the completion flag is TRUE (step S54: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S59.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the completion flag is not TRUE (step S54: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S55. In step S55, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the download flag corresponding to the lesson execution order number j is TRUE. At this time, if the CPU 51 determines that the download flag is not TRUE (step S55: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S59. On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the download flag is TRUE (step S55: YES), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S56. In step S56, the CPU 51 partially downloads motion data and music data of the exercise unit with the lesson execution order number j. Specifically, when the downloaded data size of the motion data is 0, the CPU 51 acquires the exercise unit ID and the song ID corresponding to the lesson execution order number j from the RAM 53. Next, the CPU 51 transmits a data size request including the acquired exercise unit ID and music ID to the distribution server 2. The CPU 21 of the distribution server 2 that has received the data size request acquires the exercise unit ID and the song ID from the data size request. Next, the CPU 21 acquires the data size of motion data corresponding to the exercise unit ID from the database 3. Further, the CPU 21 acquires the data size of the music data corresponding to the music ID from the database 3. Next, the CPU 21 transmits the data size of the motion data and the music data to the output terminal 5. The CPU 51 of the output terminal 5 that has received the data size from the distribution server 2 stores these pieces of information in the RAM 53 in association with the lesson execution order number j. Next, the CPU 51 transmits a motion data partial upload request including the exercise unit ID corresponding to the lesson execution order number j and the downloaded size of the motion data to the distribution server 2. The CPU 21 of the distribution server 2 that has received the motion data partial upload request acquires the exercise unit ID and the downloaded size from the motion data partial upload request. Next, the CPU 21 uses the value of the downloaded size as the head address for reading data from the motion data. Next, the CPU 21 reads data of a predetermined number of bytes from the address indicated by the downloaded size in the motion data registered in the database 3 in association with the exercise unit ID. Then, the CPU 21 transmits the read data to the output terminal 5. The output terminal 5 that has received the data stores the received data in the HDD 7 in association with the exercise unit ID and the lesson execution order number j, and adds a predetermined number of bytes to the downloaded size of the motion data. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S57. When the downloaded data size of the motion data is not 0, the CPU 51 similarly transmits a motion data partial upload request to the distribution server 2 and receives data of a predetermined number of bytes from the distribution server 2. Then, the CPU 51 stores the received data in the HDD 7 and updates the downloaded data size. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S57. When the downloaded data size of the motion data has reached the data size of the motion data, the motion data has been downloaded. In this case, the CPU 51 transmits a music data partial upload request including the music ID and the downloaded size of the music data to the distribution server 2. The CPU 21 of the distribution server 2 that has received the music data partial upload request acquires the music ID and the downloaded size from the music data partial upload request. Next, the CPU 21 sets the value of the downloaded size as a head address for reading data from the music data. Next, the CPU 21 reads data of a predetermined number of bytes from the address indicated by the downloaded size in the music data registered in the database 3 in association with the music ID. Then, the CPU 21 transmits the read data to the output terminal 5. The output terminal 5 that has received the data stores the received data in the HDD 7 in association with the song ID and the lesson execution order number j, and adds a predetermined number of bytes to the downloaded size of the song data. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S57.

  In step S57, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the motion data and music data of the exercise unit with the lesson execution order number j have been downloaded. If the downloaded size of the music data has reached the download size of the music data, the download has been completed. When the CPU 51 determines that the download has not been completed (step S57: NO), the CPU 51 proceeds to step S55. On the other hand, if the CPU 51 determines that the download has been completed (step S57: YES), it proceeds to step S58. In step S58, the CPU 51 changes the completion flag corresponding to the lesson execution order number j to TRUE. Thus, the CPU 51 sets the display of the motion video of the motion unit that has been downloaded and the start of the output of the music. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S59. In step S59, the CPU 51 adds 1 to the lesson execution order number j. Next, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S53. In step S53, if the CPU 51 determines that i is not N or less (step S53: NO), it ends the exercise unit download process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the CPU 51 downloads motion data and music data according to the order indicated by the lesson execution order number of the lesson for which the lesson start instruction has been accepted. Further, when the download of the motion data and music data corresponding to any of the exercise units is completed, the CPU 51 sets the output of the exercise video and music corresponding to the exercise unit for which the download has been completed to be able to start. Further, when the display of the motion video corresponding to any of the motion units and the output of the music are completed, the CPU 51 determines whether the download of the motion data and the music data corresponding to the next motion unit is completed. If the CPU 51 determines that the download has not been completed, the CPU 51 displays an image that prompts an action corresponding to the time required to download the motion data and the music data corresponding to the next order of the exercise units. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from waiting without knowing what to do.
