Description

WALKING MACHINE SYSTEM SHOWING USER'S MOTION}

The present invention relates to a working machine system, and more particularly, to a working machine system that detects the motion of a user who is exercising while walking or running and shows through a display.

As the longevity of human beings increases, people's interest in exercise is increasing in order to maintain their health, and busy modern people have preferred to use exercise equipment at home or at the gym to compensate for the lack of exercise.

As a representative exercise machine, there is a walking machine. In general, the walking machine is equipped with a track that rotates in a caterpillar manner, and people walk or run for a period of time on the track to compensate for the lack of exercise. For reference, in this specification, the term 'walking' may be used to include not only 'walking' but also 'running', and thus, 'working machine' may be used as a 'treading machine' as well as a 'running'. It can be used as a meaning including. Actually, the exercise equipment that is commercially available does not distinguish between 'working machine' and 'running machine', and if the user uses 'working' while using the same exercise equipment, the exercise equipment becomes 'working machine' and 'running' If you do that exercise equipment will be a 'treadmill'.

When working out on a walking machine, the exercise time varies from person to person, but to achieve a certain amount of exercise, you need to work while running or running for as little as several ten minutes or more, or as much as one or two hours. But simply walking or running for tens of minutes or hours is too monotonous and boring, making it difficult to steadily exercise. Therefore, many people decide to exercise for the sake of health, but they get tired quickly and give up the exercise easily. In recent years, the working machine has various additional functions so that those who use the working machine can continue to exercise without getting tired. For example, there is a working machine equipped with a display device to watch various TV programs. However, since TV programs broadcast on the display are not directly related to walking or running, they have only a simple effect of reducing the boredom of the user, and the user is interested in the exercise itself on the working machine. There is a problem in that it does not exert a motivating effect. In addition, it is desirable to receive advice from a professional, such as a trainer, rather than do it by yourself when starting a workout, but there is also a problem that it is difficult to receive such advice in a conventional working machine.

The present invention has been invented in view of the above circumstances, and shows a background screen including a virtual course on which a walking is being made on the display so that the user is not bored when exercising such as walking or running. By showing the character walking the virtual course while following the user, the user can be interested in the exercise on the working machine to induce motivation to exercise harder, and also provide the user's advice on the exercise in real time by the user It is an object of the present invention to provide a working machine system that shows a user action that can lead to exercise in the right way.

Further objects of the present invention can be clearly understood from the following description and the accompanying drawings.

The working machine system according to the embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object is provided with a working machine system showing the operation of the user including a main body, a display, a control unit and a sensing unit. The main body unit includes a track that is rotationally driven to allow the user to walk and a frame on which the track is disposed, and the display unit displays and provides a background screen including a virtual course that the user is walking to the user. The operation of the track is controlled, and the detector detects a user's motion. When a specific operation of the user is detected through the sensing unit, the controller performs an instruction of the user indicated by the specific operation, but before executing the instruction of the user indicated by the specific operation detected by the sensing unit, contents of the instruction. A confirmation step of displaying is performed.

In the working machine system, the content of the instruction may be displayed as a message in the checking step.

In the walking machine system, the virtual course includes a golf course, the terrain of the golf course includes a fairway, rough, bunker, the control unit is a walking difficulty of the track in the order of the fairway, rough, bunker Can be adjusted to increase.

In the working machine system, the background screen displays a user's own character indicating an operation corresponding to the user's motion detected by the sensing unit and walking the virtual course in response to the user walking on the track. Can be.

The working machine system includes a plurality of connected to each other through a communication network, and the background screen, a character of all users who are working in a plurality of working machine system connected through the communication network can be displayed together.

The working machine system is connected to the trainer working machine system which is used by the trainer through a communication network, and in the background screen, the character of the trainer working in the trainer working machine system is displayed together with the user's own character. Can be. Here, the background screen may separately display a window in which a trainer character indicating a walking motion of the trainer and a user character indicating the walking motion of the user are displayed in contrast with each other. Alternatively, the background screen may separately display a window in which a trainer character indicating a walking motion of the trainer and a user character indicating the walking motion of the user overlap each other.

According to the working machine system showing the user's motion of the present invention, the user shows the background screen including the virtual course on which the walking is made so that the user does not get bored when exercising, such as walking or running, and the user's motion By showing the character walking the virtual course while following the user, the user can be interested in the exercise on the working machine to induce motivation to exercise harder, and also provide the user's advice on the exercise in real time by the user Has the effect of inducing you to exercise in the right way.

1 is a perspective view of a working machine system according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged view of portion 'A' of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, the working machine system 100 includes a main body 10, an input unit 20, a sensing unit 30, a control unit 40, and a display unit 50. The main body 10 is a part forming the structure of the working machine system 100, the frame (11, 12, 13, 14) forming the overall skeleton and the track 15, the actual movement of the user, such as walking or running is made It includes. The frames 11, 12, 13, and 14 include horizontal frames 11 and 12 and vertical frames 13 and 14. The horizontal frames 11 and 12 are disposed on both sides of the track 15, and are composed of a left horizontal frame 11 and a right horizontal frame 12 arranged to extend horizontally from the left and right sides of the track 15, respectively. do. The vertical frames 13 and 14 are composed of a left vertical frame 13 and a right vertical frame 14 arranged to extend vertically at the ends of the left horizontal frame 11 and the right horizontal frame 12, respectively. Such a structure of the frames 11, 12, 13, 14, and the arrangement of the frames 11, 12, 13, 14 and the track 15 represent an example of an external structure in the working machine system 100. Only, the external structure of the working machine system 100 may be variously designed and other structures not shown in the drawings may be applied.

The input unit 20 is for receiving various information from a user and may be configured with various buttons or switches. However, the input unit 20 may be implemented as a touch screen on the display unit 50 without having a separate physical device. Through the input unit 20, the user may set a desired exercise condition or input his or her body information. For example, the user may set an exercise condition such as a desired exercise time or difficulty level of a workout before starting walking or running through the input unit 20. Here, the difficulty of the movement may be adjusted by the moving speed or the slope of the track 15. In addition, the user may input body information such as his / her weight, gender, and age through the input unit 20, and the body information may be used for various purposes. For example, the working machine system 100 may calculate an exercise amount with reference to the body information or recommend an exercise program suitable for a user.

The sensing unit 30 serves to detect a user's motion, and any sensor can be used as long as it can perform such a role, for example, a camera can be used. As shown in FIG. 2, the sensing unit 30 such as a camera may be installed in the upper frame of the display constituting the display unit 50. However, the sensing unit 30 is not required to be installed only at this position, and if the user's appearance can be detected, the sensing unit 30 may be installed at any position of the display unit 50, and also the main unit 10 and the like in addition to the display unit 50. It can also be installed in the same other configuration. When the camera is used as the sensing unit 30, the camera is preferably installed at a position capable of photographing at least the upper body of the user, and more preferably installed at a position capable of photographing the whole body of the user.

The control unit 40 is usually embedded in the working machine system 100 without being exposed to the outside, and is connected to the main unit 10, the input unit 20, the sensing unit 30, the display unit 50, and the like to receive information therefrom. Or to control their overall operation (shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 to show that the control unit 40 is internal to the working machine system 100 without being exposed to the outside). For example, the controller 40 serves to receive information input by the user and operate in accordance with the input information. For example, the controller 40 sets the inclination of the track 15 to be 3 ° through the input unit 10. If so, the controller 40 adjusts the inclination of the track 15 of the body portion 10 at the corresponding angle.

The display unit 50 may be formed of a display such as a TV or a monitor, and serves to provide various images to a user. If the user only keeps walking or running on the track 15, it is so free that it is difficult to steadily exercise until some achievement is achieved. The display unit 50 provides various images so that the user is not free. For example, the display unit 50 may provide news, dramas, sports broadcasts, highlight images of sports events, and the like, which can be seen in ordinary TV programs. In addition, the working machine system 100 according to the present embodiment has a feature in that it detects an action taken by the user while exercising and shows it on the display of the display unit 50, which will be described below with reference to this feature.

FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a real picture of the working machine system, and FIG. 4 is a view for explaining a mechanism for controlling the operation of a track according to a background screen displayed on a display unit in the working machine system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5A. 5D are diagrams exemplarily illustrating instructions corresponding to a specific operation of a user, and FIG. 6 is a block diagram of main components of the working machine system of FIG. 1.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 3, the display of the working machine displays a background screen that changes as the user walks or runs while exercising. In addition, the background screen includes a virtual course representing a virtual course in which the user walks or runs, and the user's own character walking the virtual course is displayed. Therefore, the user walking or running on the track corresponds to walking or running in the virtual course, so that the user's own character moves in the virtual course corresponding to the distance traveled by the user on the track, and accordingly, the background shows the virtual course. The changed appearance is displayed. In particular, in order to give the user a feeling as if he is exercising in a virtual course, the sensing unit 30 detects the user's motion and based on the detected result, the character mimics the user and responds to the detected motion. Can be represented.

Images or images that can be provided as the virtual course or the background are very diverse. For example, a background screen showing a golf course of a golf course as a virtual course may be displayed (the virtual course shown in the display of FIG. 3A also shows a golf course). The golf course is designed to play golf, but most of the area has grass to provide an environmentally friendly image. This eco-friendly image can overcome the boredom of monotonous movement and improve the efficiency of the movement, and it can also be mentally healed by modern people who are difficult to get out of the city in the busy daily life while watching the image of the background of the natural environment. In addition, the golf course occupies a very large area, which is not only grounded with grass, but because it is not bored because various obstacles such as forests, bunkers, hills and ponds are arranged to increase the fun of golf. You can give the feeling that you can experience.

In recent years, screen golf has become widespread, and the screen golf industry has accumulated a great deal of data about various golf courses. Therefore, in the case of showing a golf course used for screen golf in the working machine system, there is an advantage that the data on the golf course of the golf course already accumulated through the screen golf can be used. In addition, from the user's point of view, the golf course can be seen on the display while exercising through the working machine, so that the user can feel the same as playing two types of walking and golf at the same time. This is an advantage in many ways because golfers who can't play golf due to time or economic conditions can feel surrogate as if they are playing golf through walking, and even those who don't know golf can be interested in golf while watching the golf course. There is this.

As shown in FIG. 3A, various types of exercise information B1 and B2 are provided on the display. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 (b), the current speed during walking, the average speed (average of the walking speed during play time), the maximum speed (the maximum value of the speed recorded during walking), the moving distance (through walking Information such as total distance traveled), calories burned (calories burned through walking), slope (angle at which the user is walking and walking track on the walking machine), and play time (time elapsed since the start of walking). Can be provided.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, in the working machine system 100 according to the present embodiment, the controller 40 is currently showing on the display of the display unit 50 when the user does not specifically set the exercise condition. It is possible to control the difficulty in the track 15 so as to correspond to the difficulty of walking or running in the corresponding area by checking which area of the virtual course corresponds to. In other words, if the difficulty in the virtual course currently displayed on the display of the display unit 50 is called "virtual difficulty", the difficulty actually felt by the user who is walking or running on the track 15 is called "real difficulty". 40 increases the actual difficulty as the virtual difficulty increases, and decreases the real difficulty when the virtual difficulty decreases. For example, when the inclination of the virtual course is large, so-called 'uphill', the virtual difficulty in walking or running increases accordingly. The controller 40 adjusts the inclination of the track 15 in accordance with the inclination of the virtual course. By doing this, the actual difficulty may correspond to the virtual difficulty. Specifically, referring to (a), (b) and (c) of FIG. 4, when the inclination of the virtual course shown on the display is the smallest, the inclination of the track is the smallest (FIG. 4 (a)) and the virtual course. When the inclination of the track is medium, the track is in the middle of the track (Fig. 4 (b)). When the virtual course has the largest inclination, the track of the track is also the largest (Fig. 4 (c)). 4 is 'θ3> θ2> θ1').

As an example of the virtual course and the background screen, it is said that the background screen can be displayed by using the golf course of the golf course as the virtual course, and the terrain of various attributes exists in the golf course of the golf course. For example, the golf course has terrains such as fairways, roughs, and bunkers. The difficulty of hitting various terrains in the golf course can be roughly corresponding to the difficulty of walking. In other words, the rough course of the golf course is rougher than the fairway in the length of the grass, the grass is rough in this way is difficult to hit the grass than the short fairway is a high hitting difficulty. By the way, if the length of the grass is long compared to the short length of the grass to walk or run as much, so the rough is more difficult walking than the fairway can be seen. In addition, the bunker on the golf course is mainly made of sand, because walking or running in the sand area is more difficult than turf, bunkers are more difficult walking than rough. In view of this, when the golf course is displayed as a virtual course of the background screen, the controller 40 checks whether the current position is a fairway, a rough or a bunker, and increases the actual difficulty in the order of the fairway, rough, and bunker. It is possible to increase the inclination in the track 15 so that. Alternatively, by increasing the speed of the track 15 instead of adjusting the inclination of the track 15, it may induce the user to walk or run faster, thereby increasing the actual difficulty.

As described above, by adjusting the virtual difficulty and the actual difficulty, the user is strongly felt as if he is actually exercising in the virtual course, and as a result, the boredom caused by repeated walking can be greatly reduced.

As mentioned above, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the sensing unit 30 detects a user's motion on the track 15, and the user character mimics the user to display the motion corresponding to the detected motion. 50). In addition, when the detected operation of the user is recognized as a specific operation, the working machine system 100 according to the present embodiment may allow the control unit 40 to recognize the specific operation as an instruction of the user and perform it. have.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the user raises one hand in a stationary state of the working machine and takes the posture of the 'scissors-rock-paper', the controller 40 ) May be recognized as a 'drive start instruction of the working machine' to control the driving of the track 15 to be started. In this case, before starting the driving of the track 15, the recognized user's motion is displayed on one part of the display so that the user can confirm that the control motion is recognized by the working machine (in FIG. 5A, the upper right corner). It is also desirable to simultaneously display a confirmation message such as "Start the operation of the working machine" at the same time. In the same way, the user raises one hand to display one with the finger (FIG. 5B) to adjust the speed of the track 15 in one step, or to display two with the finger (FIG. 5C) to the track 15 Can be instructed to adjust the speed of the camera in two steps, and also displays a control action taken by the user and at the same time displays a confirmation message such as "Working machine operates at one (or two) speeds". The speed of the track 15 can be adjusted as indicated by. In addition, as shown in Figure 5d, in the operating state of the working machine, the user can raise the one hand to take the posture of the 'fist' to give a stop instruction, and also displays the control action taken by the user and at the same time "working machine After the confirmation message such as "Stop operation of", the track 15 may stop moving according to the user's instruction.

The scissors-rock-beam mentioned above is an example of an operation that can be used as a hand signal, and various various user operations can be used as the hand signal. In addition, in the above-described example, it has been described that the hand signal can be used for driving, stopping, and speed control of the working machine. However, other instructions may be instructed to the working machine using a user's motion. Although not shown in the drawing, in order for the user to easily know which operation corresponds to which instruction, a predetermined button is installed on the input unit 20 so that the display unit 50 receives a signal and an indication each time the corresponding button is pressed. It is desirable to have the relationship of matters displayed. In addition, when the sensing unit 30 recognizes a user's motion indicating a hand signal, the user recognizes his / her own motion by showing a recognized motion on a display and instructing a message corresponding to the motion as shown in FIG. 5. It is desirable to be able to confirm whether or not the indicating operation of the working machine is properly recognized.

As described above, the user's character in the display detects the user's motion and acts according to the user's action, adjusts the actual difficulty in the track according to the virtual difficulty in the virtual course in the display, and recognizes the user's motion. In order to be able to perform the instructions corresponding to the above operation, the main components of the working machine system may be configured to be combined as follows.

Referring to FIG. 6, the control unit 40 is connected to receive information from the main body 10, the input unit 20, the sensing unit 30, and the display unit 50 or to control their operations. In addition, the controller 40 may include a control part 41, an operation identification part 42, a character image part 43, and a database 44.

The control part 41 serves to control the operation of other parts such as the main body 10. For example, the control part 41 is involved when the control unit 40 receives the information input by the user through the input unit 20 and operates the working machine accordingly. For example, if the user inputs the inclination of the track to be 3 °, the control part 41 adjusts the inclination of the track of the main body portion 10 as input. In addition, even when the actual difficulty in the track is adjusted so as to correspond to the virtual difficulty in the virtual course without a user's input, the control part 41 serves to adjust the slope or speed of the track.

The motion identification part 42 checks whether the motion of the detected user indicates a specific instruction using motion recognition technology or the like with respect to the motion of the user detected by the detection unit 30. If the user's motion is identified as indicating a particular instruction, for example, if the user's motion is identified as interrupting the motion of the track, the controller 40 controls the motion of the track of the main body 10 via the control part 41. It is controlled to stop. In particular, in the case where it is recognized that an emergency situation occurs even if there is no explicit instruction by the user, the controller 40 may control the operation of the track through the control part 1. For example, when it is recognized by the control part 41 that the user's exercise posture is unstable and likely to fall, the controller 40 may stop the operation of the track or lower the speed of the track. If the track speed is low, it is desirable to stop the operation of the track immediately. If the track speed is high, it may be dangerous for the user to abruptly stop the operation. , Decelerate the track by 50%, 30% step by step) and finally stop the operation.

The character image part 43 analyzes the motion or movement of the user sensed by the sensor 30 to generate animation images of the character following the motion. Images of the character may be generated using a method such as a skeleton animation. For reference, as a result of a test using a known computer graphics method, a delay of about 0.3 seconds may occur between the user's motion and the time when the mimic motion of the character is displayed. Other methods may be applied to the character image part 43 as well as a method of viewing a user's motion and generating images of the character accordingly. The usual actions that users can take on the working machine are mostly constant since they do not fall within the scope of walking or running. Therefore, if the working image or the running image is stored in a database in advance, and the user who is currently exercising is taking an action that is frequently displayed, and does not exhibit an unusual action, the character image is quickly used by using the stored image data. Can be displayed. Here, although detailed postures such as stride and arm motion during walking or running may vary according to a user, various strides and arm movements may be previously databased and stored to some extent. For example, if the average user's stride length is S1, S2, and the arm movement is A1, A2, then the (S1, A1), (S1, A2), (S2, A1), (S2, A2) Combined images such as animation images can be generated in advance and databased. In this case, if it is recognized that the user who is actually exercising is taking an action corresponding to any one of the patterns (S1, A1), (S1, A2), (S2, A1), (S2, A2), Any one of the data can be used to quickly display the character image.

As such, in order to identify a user's motion, generate an image of a user character to be displayed on the display unit 50, and display a background screen such as a virtual golf course on the display unit 50, related data need to be stored. For this purpose, a database 44 is provided.

As above, the working machine system according to the present embodiment adjusts the actual difficulty in the track corresponding to the virtual difficulty of the virtual course in the display (function 1), giving a strong impression of actually walking on the virtual course. The movement is not boring, especially by detecting the user's motion and causing the user's character in the display to act according to the user's action (Function 2), which can induce a stronger interest to the user, and recognizes the user's motion By simply adjusting the operation of the machine (function 3), there are various effects that can give the user operational convenience. However, the working machine system does not necessarily have to have all of the above functions 1 to 3, and may be configured to include at least some of the functions 1 to 3.

7 is a schematic configuration diagram of a working machine system according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating an example of a screen displayed on a display unit in the working machine system of FIG. 7.

Referring to FIG. 7, the present embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that there are a plurality of working machine systems. That is, the first working machine system 101 and the second working machine system 102 are provided and are connected to each other through various wired and wireless communication networks. The first and second working machine systems 101 and 102 may be spaced apart from each other in the same place, or may be arranged in different places (for example, a provider providing a service has a plurality of branches, The working machine systems are located in different branches.

Except for the fact that there are a plurality of working machine systems and some additional differences, the configuration of the main components of the first and second working machine systems 101, 102 is similar to that described in the previous embodiment. As one of the additional differences, when each user wants to exercise together in the same virtual course while the first and second working machine systems 101 and 102 are connected to each other, the display of both working machine systems 101 and 102 may be used. The same background screen and the same virtual course may be displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8A, the virtual course includes a character (character 1) representing a user (user 1) of the first working machine system 101 and a user (user 2) of the second working machine system 102. The character (character 2) that represents can be displayed at the same time. In this case, the users of the two working machine systems 101 and 102 compete with each other in order to confirm their position through the display and to advance each other.

In displaying a user character, a screen displayed to each user may vary according to the display method. For example, if only the scene in front of the user is displayed, if the user 1 is ahead of the user in the virtual course, the first working machine system 101 displays only the character 1 of the user 1. The character 2 of the user 2 behind the user 1 may not be displayed. In the second working machine system 102, as shown in FIG. 8A, both the character 2 and the character 1 preceding the character 2 may be displayed. Alternatively, both front and rear scenes may be displayed on the basis of the user, and in this case, the characters 1 and 2 may be displayed on each display regardless of whether the user 1 or 2 is leading.

Like the working machine system of the previous embodiment, the first and second working machine systems 101 and 102 detect the motions of user 1 and user 2, respectively, and the characters 1 and 2 in the display mimic the motions corresponding to the motions of the users. Can be represented. When the characters 1 and 2 are displayed on the same screen, the user 1 can know the action that the user 2 is taking through the character 2, and likewise, the user 2 can know the operation that the user 1 is taking through the character 1. Therefore, the users 1 and 2 can communicate indirectly through the appearance of the characters 1 and 2, and furthermore, by using the characters 1 and 2 as their avatars, they can simply play with each other. For example, the users 1 and 2 can perform a rock-paper-scissor with each other, and the result of the rock-rock-beams can be confirmed by the operation of the characters 1 and 2. Alternatively, when the user 1 and 2 walk to the same face and the user 1 extends the right arm to cover the empty space, and the user 2 extends the left arm to cover the empty space, the character as shown in FIG. 8B. A scene in which 1 and 2 are walking while shouldering each other may be displayed. As described above, in order for the users 1 and 2 to play a simple game with each other or to perform a specific operation in cooperation with each other, a dialogue between the users 1 and 2 may be required. For this purpose, a separate communication means such as a microphone may be provided.

If a plurality of working machine systems are connected to each other and the same screen is displayed on the display of each working machine system as in the present embodiment, the users can compete harder and work harder to be ahead of the opponents, or the users By allowing the characters to exhibit unique movements, they can play simple games or create interesting scenes, so that they can concentrate on the exercise more interestingly without being bored than when exercising alone.

9 is a schematic configuration diagram of a working machine system according to still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 10A and 10B are diagrams illustrating an example of a screen displayed on a display unit in the working machine system of FIG. 9.

Referring to FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, the working machine systems are provided in plural numbers connected to each other through a wired or wireless communication network, and at least one of the plurality is a working machine system 103 for a user and at least another one for a trainer. It differs from the previous embodiment in that it is a working machine system 104. User working machine system 103 means that the subject of use is a general user, the trainer working machine system 104 means that the subject of use is a trainer. Here, 'trainer' can be a professional instructor. Or, even if you do not have a professional qualification, even a general person can give a simple advice 'trainer' can be called. For example, if two ordinary users give advice about an exercise to each other, the adviser is called a trainer, and the adviser is called a user.

Except for the above, the working machine system itself is not much different from the working machine system in the previous embodiment, but some additional components may be added to make it easier for the trainer to advise the user.

Specifically, the communication means 60 in the form of a microphone headset may be provided so that the user and the trainer can communicate, so that the user and the trainer can communicate with each other while wearing the communication means 60. Can be. The communication means 60 does not necessarily need to be in the form of a microphone headset, and may be configured in a form in which a microphone and a speaker are attached to the working machine systems 103 and 104.

When the same virtual course is selected and operated together while the user and the trainer machine systems 103 and 104 are connected to each other, as shown in FIG. 10A, the display of both working machine systems 103 and 104 is the same. A user character and a trainer character may be displayed together with the background screen and the same virtual course. At this time, the user character acts according to the user's motion, so that the trainer can check the movement of the user through the user character and provide necessary advice through the communication means 60. For example, if it is determined that the user's walking or running posture needs to be corrected, the user can directly advise how the posture should be corrected.

Since the user character is shown behind the user, it may be difficult for the user character to accurately grasp the user's posture. In view of this, in the present embodiment, the display may be provided with a separate window (W) showing the exercise position of the user and the trainer in more detail. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10a, while showing the user's exercise side in the user's window (W1) in the side and the trainer's exercise side in the trainer window (W2), the exercise of the user and the trainer Can be shown against each other. As a result, the user can learn the correct exercise posture by looking at the trainer window W2, and the trainer can point out a problem in the user's exercise posture by looking at the user window W1.

10B shows another example of the user window W. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10B, the movements of the user and the trainer may be displayed to overlap each other in one window W. FIG. For example, if you overlap the character of the user and the trainer with a contrasting color (User-Red; Trainer-Blue), you can check how much the red and blue parts overlap to make the user more intuitive where You can easily check if there is.

As shown above, when a plurality of working machine systems are connected to each other and a character following the operation of the user and the trainer is shown together on the display of each working machine system, the trainer looks at the user's character displayed in a separate window. Advice appropriate to the user and the user can correct his or her problems according to the advice of the trainer while comparing the character of the trainer and the person displayed in the window, so that the user's exercise efficiency in walking and running There is a more effective effect. In particular, the trainer can give advice while watching the user's exercise position directly, and the trainer himself can show the correct posture and advise with the user in real-time interaction, thus maximizing the training effect. .

Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention can be implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. will be. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. The scope of the present invention is shown in the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and all differences within the scope will be construed as being included in the present invention.
