Referring to FIG. 4, first, predetermined sensors sense user state information such as heart rate and temperature information indicated by reference numeral 401 or three-axis posture information indicated by reference numeral 403, and transmit corresponding state information. (405, 415).

Specifically, the three-axis acceleration sensor detects the user's three-axis attitude information, etc. as shown by the reference numeral 403, and transmits the corresponding three-axis acceleration information 415. In addition, the heart rate sensor detects a state of the user's heart rate and body temperature, as shown by reference numeral 401, and transmits corresponding heart rate and body temperature information 405.

The mobile terminal then calculates the average heart rate of the user based on the three-axis acceleration information 415 and the heart rate and temperature information 405 as in step 407.

At this time, if the average heart rate of the user is calculated as shown by reference numeral 409, and the body temperature of the user increases while matching the average heart rate checked each time by the heart rate sensor, the mobile terminal is a case where the user is asleep Judge and control the corresponding warning output. For example, as indicated by reference numeral 411, a predetermined warning message such as 'Don't sleep !!' is output on the screen of the mobile terminal, or a warning alarm (vibration, beep, etc.) is generated through a speaker or the like. Outputs a warning by the mobile terminal in combination. In addition, the mobile terminal transmits the warning control signal to the radio controller together with the warning output. Then, in response to the warning control signal received from the mobile terminal, the wireless controller generates a stimulus to the user by raising the temperature of the sole surface of the shoe by an infrared heating sensor or the like as indicated by reference numeral 413.

In addition, as indicated by reference numeral 417 based on the three-axis acceleration information 415, when the acceleration output or vibration is detected for a predetermined time preset by the three-axis acceleration sensor, for example, three seconds or more, the mobile terminal may be connected to the user. It determines that the wig is shaking and controls the corresponding warning output. For example, as indicated by reference numeral 419, a predetermined warning message is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal. BOOK! ', Or a warning alarm (vibration, traffic light, etc.) is generated through the speaker, or a combination of these warnings is issued by the mobile terminal. In addition, the mobile terminal transmits the warning control signal to the radio controller together with the warning output. Then, in response to the warning control signal received from the mobile terminal, the wireless controller generates a stimulus to the user by raising the temperature of the sole surface of the shoe by an infrared heating sensor or the like as indicated by reference numeral 421.

5 is a diagram illustrating a warning generation method according to user status information in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 501, the mobile terminal proceeds to step 503 when a wireless signal is received through a wireless interface from the wireless controller. In step 503, the mobile terminal determines whether the warning generation mode is set, and if the operation mode is set to the warning generation mode, the mobile terminal proceeds to step 505 to start detecting the state. That is, the mobile terminal analyzes the radio signal to detect and determine user state information detected from each sensor of the radio controller.

For example, as shown in step 507, if the output by the three-axis acceleration sensor changes, that is, as shown in step 509, when the three-axis acceleration sensor detects an acceleration output or vibration from the user for three seconds or more, The mobile terminal proceeds to step 511 and determines that the user is shaking. Subsequently, the mobile terminal proceeds to step 513 to control the warning output corresponding to the determination information. For example, outputs such as warm heating / stimulation and warning tones are controlled.

In addition, if there is no output change by the three-axis acceleration sensor in step 507, the detection value by the heart rate sensor is determined, as shown in step 515. That is, if the user's heart rate sensed by the heart rate sensor is stable below the average heart rate, the detection value by the temperature sensor is determined as shown in step 517. That is, if the user's body temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is detected to increase, the mobile terminal proceeds to step 519 and determines that the user is dozing. In step 521, the mobile terminal controls the warning output corresponding to the determination information. For example, outputs such as strong heating / stimulation and warning beeps are controlled.

Next, an example of a method of detecting a user's status and a warning output control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described by forming a wireless controller in a user's belongings, for example, a shoe.

First, the wireless controller detects a user's state through a sensor unit such as a heart rate, body temperature, and three-axis acceleration sensor, and transmits the state information to the mobile terminal through the wireless communication unit.

Then, the mobile terminal receives the status information transmitted from the wireless controller through a wireless communication unit, and determines the status information through a series of procedures. That is, the output of the three-axis acceleration sensor is determined to determine whether there is a change in the output. For example, referring to the accompanying drawings of FIG. 6, FIG. 6 illustrates an output waveform according to a user attitude determination using a three-axis acceleration sensor. As shown in the three-axis acceleration output waveform of FIG. It can be judged by the acceleration output of one axis or more whether it is continuously made.

At this time, when the output of the three-axis acceleration sensor is constantly changing, a similar waveform may be induced in the remaining two axes of the output. Therefore, in the above case, it is determined that the user is shaking feet, and the corresponding warning output is controlled.

In addition, when the output of the three-axis acceleration sensor does not continuously change, it is determined that the user's foot is not moving and maintains a fixed posture, as shown in Figure 7 attached, the size of the heart rate The length of distance 1 and distance 2 is used to calculate the periodicity and change in the user's heart rate. FIG. 7 illustrates an output waveform of the heart rate and body temperature sensor and a result of drowsiness determination, wherein at this time, whether the user's heart rate is stable or less than the average heart rate without changing the user's heart rate and whether the body temperature rises are shown in FIG. 7. If it is determined in the same case, both cases, the user is determined to be asleep, and the corresponding warning output is controlled.

In addition, the mobile terminal outputs a corresponding warning control signal corresponding to a user state to the display unit and the speaker in outputting a warning control corresponding to the determination result as described above, and also transmitting the warning control signal to the wireless controller through the wireless communication unit. The wireless controller performs a corresponding warning output on the belongings of the user, for example, a shoe, through a warning output unit.

For example, the heating sensor or the stimulus sensor of the warning output unit outputs high heating (stimulation) for waking up the user's drowsiness, and low heating (stimulation) for maintaining the user's trembling.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and similarities. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the claims below, but also by the equivalents of the claims.
