≪ Configuration of Ground Information Acquisition Device >

FIG. 1 illustrates a ground information acquiring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The apparatus for acquiring ground information 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication module 110, a motion determination module 120, a tilt information generation module 130, a storage module 140, and a control module 150 .

The ground information obtaining apparatus 100 can be mounted on the user's body part and clothing to obtain ground information on which the user is currently located, and transmit the ground information to the computing device 200 via the ground information.

The arithmetic operation unit 200 calculates an inclination and a height of the ground by performing arithmetic operations on the ground information acquired from the ground information acquiring apparatus 100, and calculates the movement distance through the step width of the input user and the step number of the ground information Can be calculated.

The motion determining unit 124 may determine whether the user is moving based on the detection result of the motion detecting unit 122.

Here, the motion determining unit 124 determines that the user is moving only when the extent of the shock and vibration or the degree of change of the acceleration is greater than a predetermined level in the detection result of the motion detecting unit 122. [

When the degree of change of the degree of shock or vibration or the degree of the acceleration is less than a predetermined level or the change of the shock, vibration or acceleration does not occur in the detection result of the motion detection unit 122, It is determined that the user has stopped moving, and the determination result is transmitted to the tilt information generating module 130. [

At this time, in order to prevent the motion determining unit 124 from erroneously determining that the user is moving due to a motion due to shock, vibration, wind or the like generated outside the user's walking, It is preferable to be mounted on shoes.

The motion measurement unit 126 may measure the number of times the motion determination unit 124 determines that the user is moving, and may store the measurement result in the storage module 140.

Here, the motion measuring unit 126 measures a number of steps of the user from the number of shocks and vibrations or the number of changes of the acceleration, which occurs when the user walks the ground.

The tilt information generating module 130 may generate the tilt information by measuring the three-dimensional tilt value of the ground surface and may include a tilt measuring unit 132, a correcting unit 134 and a tilt information generating unit 136 .

The tilt measuring unit 132 can measure the three-dimensional tilt value of the ground.

The tilt measuring unit 132 measures the three-dimensional tilt value of the ground when the motion determining unit 124 receives the determination result of the user's movement stop.

The tilt measuring unit 132 may measure the tilt value under the control of the control module 150 and transmit the measurement result to the correcting unit 134. [

At this time, the tilt measuring unit 132 can measure the three-dimensional tilt of the ground through the tilt sensor, the angle sensor, the gravity sensor, and the like.

The correcting unit 134 may correct the tilt value measured by the tilt measuring unit 132. [

Here, the correction unit 134 sets the measurement result value received from the tilt measurement unit 132 as a correction value through the control of the control module 150, and then corrects the tilt value measured by the tilt measurement unit 132 .

The tilt information generating unit 136 may generate tilt information from the corrected tilt value through the corrector 134 and store the generated tilt information in the storage module 140. [

The storage module 140 may store information generated by the motion detection module 120 and the tilt information generation module 130. [

Here, the storage module 140 may store the number of steps of the user measured by the motion detection module 120 and the slope information generated by the slope information generation unit 136.

The control module 150 may generate an input signal by a user's operation and may control each module through an input signal, and may include an input unit 152 and a control unit 154.

The input unit 152 is provided with at least one button, and can generate a separate input signal for start / end of ground information acquisition and tilt correction.

Here, the input unit 152 may be provided with individual buttons corresponding to the start of acquisition of the ground information, the acquisition of the ground information, and the correction of the inclination. However, if it is possible to generate an individual input signal according to the button operation method, . ≪ / RTI >

The control unit 154 can control each module according to the input signal generated by the input unit 152. [

For example, when an input signal for slope correction is generated from the input unit 152, the control unit 154 receiving the input signal measures the slope of the slope measuring unit 132, The tilt information generating module 130 is controlled so that the tilt information generating module 130 can be used as the correction value of the tilt information generating module 134.

The control unit 154 that receives the input signal controls the communication module 110 so that the user's step stored in the storage module 140 And transmits the ground information including the number and inclination information to the arithmetic unit 200.

The control unit 140 checks whether the ground information is transmitted through the communication module 110. When the transmission is completed, the control unit 140 deletes the number of treads and tilt information of the user stored in the storage module 140, It is possible to secure the storage space of the display device.

The ground information acquiring apparatus 100 may further include a power module (not shown) for supplying power to each module.

Thereafter, the controller 150 confirms that the tilt information generator 136 has stored the tilt information in the storage module 140, and determines whether the tilt information is received from the input unit 152, When the input signal to the end of acquisition is not received, the motion number measurement and storage step S202 or the slope measurement step S203 may be performed again according to the determination result of the motion determination unit 124 after the correction value generation step S201 And upon receipt of an input signal for ending the acquisition of the ground information, each module is controlled to proceed with the subsequent steps.

6. Ground information transmission step (S206)

The ground information transmission step (S206) is a step of transmitting the ground information stored in the storage module (140) to the arithmetic unit (200) under the control of the control unit (154).

This step is performed only when the control unit 154 receives the input signal from the input unit 152 for the completion of the ground information acquisition in the slope information generation and storage step S205 and the control unit 154 Controls the communication module 110 and the storage module 140 so that the ground information including the number of taps and the tilt information stored in the storage module 140 is transmitted to the arithmetic unit 200 through the communication module 110 .
