Description

Ubiquitous kiosk systems for health club}

The present invention relates to a ubiquitous kiosk system for a health club. More specifically, the exercise history of a user is managed in an exercise equipment management system such as a treadmill or a bike installed in a gym, and the exercise history is easily managed through a kiosk. When the administrator monitors the user's exercise status in real time with a computer in the management room connected wirelessly and the user's heart rate exceeds the standard value, the operating level of the exercise equipment is automatically controlled by the set program. Ubiquitous kiosk for health clubs where you can enjoy various contents such as announcement information, banner advertisement management, biorhythm inquiry, food calorie calculation, etc. wherever kiosks are installed It relates to the system.

In the existing general health club, when the user visits the club to exercise, they simply use the exercise equipment to exercise, and there is no suggestion about the exercise items and the amount of exercise before the exercise, and the exercise after the exercise As there is no data history related to this, there was a limit to systematic exercise based on scientific basis.

This grants the ability to produce and process exercise data such as exercise time, distance, speed, and calories burned for exercise equipment such as treadmills equipped in the gym, and integrates the data of related exercise equipment to This can be achieved by establishing a system that can calculate the recommended momentum.

To do this, however, it has a modern design that matches the specific place of the health club, data integration and processing capacity, and it does not take much space even if it is installed in such a quantity that there is no inconvenience even when used by multiple people at the same time. For this reason, there is a need for a device that can be easily inquired, input, and output by both sexes.

The term kiosk is generally used to refer to an unmanned terminal installed in a public place so that it can be easily used by the public for unattended automation of information services and tasks. It is also called a multimedia station or a self service station. Usually, the touch screen method is used to obtain information or to handle tasks such as purchasing, ticketing, and registration.

These kiosks have a push function, so they can send advertisements to a part of the screen, deliver full-page advertisements or specialized information, and can be effectively connected to the Internet, wireless network, or intranet. It can be used to implement screen sharing, and can be equipped with virtual reality and voice recognition functions.

The multi-station function of the kiosk can perform a desirable function in configuring a management and operation system of a health club equipped with various exercise equipment.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, by building an exercise management system with a kiosk as a main part of the user's own exercise history, for example, weekly monthly exercise time, exercise distance, You can check the calories burned and the announcements of the club, you can see the exercise effect such as calories burned at a glance, scientific printing by printing the exercise history information or request consultation with the trainer on the kiosk if necessary It is to provide a ubiquitous kiosk system for a health club that enables exercise consultation based on data.

Another object of the present invention, if the user's heart rate exceeds the exercise index reference value during the exercise according to the amount of exercise set on each exercise device by controlling the exercise device by the set program can be adjusted to the user's health state It is possible to provide a ubiquitous kiosk system for a health club.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a ubiquitous kiosk system for a health club that can enjoy a variety of health-related applications, such as announcement information, banner advertisement management, biorhythm inquiry, calorie calculation of food, etc. on the kiosk. It is.

       The ubiquitous kiosk system for a health club according to the present invention for solving the above object is a main kiosk that performs a terminal function as well as a terminal kiosk function installed at the same time as the main server unit installed and installed in the site of the health club.
