Personal exercise management system and its control method {SYSTEM FOR MANAGING PERSONAL EXERCISE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME }

The present application relates to a system for analyzing a user's exercise and a method for controlling the same, and more particularly, to a system and a control method for managing a user's exercise based on the analysis.

Recently, as interest in health has increased, many people are doing various exercises that are suitable for them. In particular, as electronic devices such as smart devices capable of performing various functions are developed and developed, exercise management using such electronic devices has become popular.

The electronic device-based exercise management is configured to detect an individual's exercise using a smart device, analyze the detected exercise, and correct the exercise performed based on the analyzed result. More specifically, for this movement analysis, it is generally analyzed whether an individual takes a correct posture during exercise, and an instruction or suggestion for exercising with this correct posture is provided to the individual.

However, more important factors are required in addition to the correct posture for exercise, and accordingly, an individual's exercise cannot be accurately analyzed by simply considering only the posture. Therefore, for accurate motion analysis and management based thereon, motion related factors other than posture need to be considered.

The present application has been devised to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present application is to provide a system configured to accurately analyze and manage a user's motion and a control method thereof.

In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a sensing device for detecting a motion of a user performing a predetermined exercise; a display for displaying the user's exercise-related information; and a control device configured to analyze the sensed motion of the user and provide a predetermined feedback to the user through the display, wherein the control device: determines whether the speed of the detected motion is within a preset range; When the detected motion speed is within the preset range, feedback for inducing a higher level of motion than the current motion level is provided, and when the detected motion speed is not within the preset range, the It is possible to provide a personal exercise management system configured to provide feedback for guiding the user's motion speed to the preset range.

The control device provides a first video including an example of the predetermined exercise through the display while the user performs the predetermined exercise, and controls the user performing the predetermined exercise through the display. It may be configured to provide a second video showing. More specifically, the control device is configured to simultaneously provide the first video and the second video through the display, and to synchronize the start of playback of the first video with the start of the predetermined exercise by the user. can be

The control device may be configured to set the playback speed of the first moving picture to a first speed smaller than the preset range when the detected motion speed is not within the preset range. Additionally, the control device may be configured to: play the first moving picture at the first speed for a predetermined time, and gradually increase the playing speed of the first moving picture to be within the preset range.

The control device may be configured to overlap the first video and the second video to be reproduced when the speed of the detected motion is not included in the preset range. In addition, the control device may be configured to enlarge and reproduce body parts used for the predetermined movement in the first and second moving images when the detected motion speed is not within the preset range. have. The control device is configured to separate and arrange the first and second moving images in the display when the speed of the detected motion is changed within the preset range, and the speed of the detected motion is set in the preset range. If it is changed within the range, it may be configured to reduce the enlarged portions of the first moving image and the second moving image in the display to their original state.

Meanwhile, when the speed of the sensed motion is within the preset range, the control device may be configured to set the playback speed of the first moving picture to a second speed greater than the preset range. The control device may be configured to provide a suggestion for a posture of higher difficulty through a display when the detected speed of the motion is within the preset range.

In addition, the control device may be configured to provide information to encourage the user to increase the speed of the motion through the display when the detected speed of the motion is not within the preset range. In addition, the control device may be configured to provide, through the display, information praising the user to continue maintaining the speed of the motion, when the detected speed of the motion is within the preset range.

The personal exercise management system according to the present application may determine whether the user's exercise speed is within an appropriate range based on the exercise speed among various characteristics of the exercise performed by the user. Based on this determination, the personal exercise management system may provide appropriate feedback so that the user's exercise speed is included within an appropriate range. Accordingly, the evaluation of the movement speed and the correction of the movement based thereon can allow the user to exercise for a sufficient time without being tired. In addition, since the user can maintain his/her own pace during exercise by such evaluation and correction, it is possible to continuously maintain an accurate posture. Therefore, the personal exercise management system according to the present application can effectively and efficiently improve the user's exercise continuity and accuracy, and thus can induce the user to achieve the intended effect through exercise.

In general, a given exercise, such as, for example, squats and sit-ups, consists of a combination (or set) of different motions of a body part of the user 1 , and the user 1 performs this combination during the exercise. will be repeatedly performed. Therefore, in order to accurately analyze the motion of the user 1, each of these motions needs to be individually detected. For this reason, the sensing device 10 may be configured to detect the motion of the user 1 performing a predetermined exercise.

More specifically, the sensing device 10 may be configured as a camera configured to capture an image of the motion 1 of the user exercising. The camera can acquire individual still images and continuous moving images of the motion of the user 1 by using the image sensor, and these images reflect all the characteristics of the motion of the user 1, so it is advantageous for accurate analysis. The sensing device 10 may also function as a kind of input device, and the acquired image may be stored in the management system or output to the outside of the management system.

The management system of the present application may include the display 20 as an output device. The display 20 is configured to output an image, and may be implemented in various forms such as LCD and OLED. The display 20 may display various information related to the exercise of the user 1 . For example, the display 20 may display not only the image previously acquired by the sensing device 10 but also other information additionally stored in the management system, for example, text, pictures, and images. In addition, the management system may include a voice output device such as a speaker in order to provide a variety of information to the user (1). The audio output device may simultaneously output an image and related audio information together with the display 20 which is an image output device, and may independently provide audio information to the display 20 . In addition, when the touch pad is attached to the surface of the display 20 , the display 20 may function as a touch screen that is an input device, and the user 1 conveniently performs various inputs using such a display 20 . can be performed

The storage device 30 may be provided in the management system to store various information necessary for exercise management of the user 1 . The storage device 30 may include an exercise database 31 as an example. The database 31 may include information on various types of exercises that the user 1 can perform, and such information is stored in various forms, for example, images, texts, pictures, voices, etc. can be In addition, the database 31 may include a history of the exercises performed by the user 1 , and this history may include detailed information on the type, number, time, etc. of the exercise. Furthermore, the database 31 may also store the motion image of the user 1 acquired by the sensing device 10 as a kind of history. If necessary, the information in the database 10 may be output through the above-described output devices, the display 20 or the speaker. In addition, the storage device 30 may include an application 32 that is a program for exercise management. More specifically, the application 32 includes an input and output interface for exercise management, and may include an algorithm for analyzing input information, ie, a sensed user's motion. The application 32 may be executed by the user 1 for management of the exercise, and when executed, its input and output interfaces may be displayed through the display 20 .

The management system may also include a communication device 40 that enables communication with external devices. The communication device 40 may transmit information in the management system to an external device through a communication channel connected to the external device, and receive necessary information from the external device. For example, the communication device 40 may be a device using a wired/wireless network protocol, and other short-range communication technologies such as Bluetooth, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), and UWB. (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee (ZigBee), may be made of a device using NFC (Near Field Communication) or the like.

The control device 50 controls the operation of each of the devices 10-40 to control the overall operation of the management system. The control device 50 may include a processor and related electronic components, and may be electrically connected to each of the devices 10-40 as shown. By this electrical connection, the control device 50 can control the management system as a whole to perform an intended operation by exchanging electrical signals. In particular, the control device 50 may control various operations for managing the exercise of the user 1 . More specifically, the motion analysis unit 51 may be configured to analyze the detected motion of the user (1). Also, the feedback unit 52 may generate and provide predetermined feedback for correcting the exercise to the user 1 based on the analyzed result. Detailed functions of the motion analysis unit 51 and the feedback unit 52 of the control device 50 will be described in more detail in the following control method.

The management system described above can basically correct the movement of the user 1 based on the analysis result of the detected movement, but this exercise management function is performed more effectively and efficiently through more optimized control of the management system can be For this reason, a control method optimized for the management system according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has been devised and will be described below with reference to additional related drawings. Unless otherwise specifically stated, FIGS. 1 and 2 and their descriptions are basically included and referenced in the following description and drawings of the control method.

In addition, FIGS. 6-8 are flowcharts showing in detail the feedback providing step of inducing the exercise to a normal range, and FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing in detail the feedback providing step of inducing a higher level of exercise.

The control methods described below control the operation of the components described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 , that is, various devices and parts, and may provide intended functions based on the operation. Accordingly, the operations and functions described in the following control method can be regarded not only as the characteristics of the control method, but also as characteristics of all related components. In particular, the control device 50, that is, the processor may be called by various names such as a controller and a controlling unit, and may control all components of the management system to perform an operation according to the control method. . Accordingly, the control device 50 controls substantially all the methods and modes described below in this application, and thus all steps to be described hereinafter can basically be a characteristic of the control device 50 . For this reason, although not described as being performed by the control device 50 , the following steps and detailed features thereof can all be understood as characteristics of the control device 50 . In addition, in the following description of the control method, structural features and operations thereof all refer to those described in FIGS. 1-3, and thus detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

Referring to FIG. 3 , first, the management system, that is, the control device 50 may prepare a predetermined exercise to be performed by the user 1 ( S10 ).

In the preparation step (S10), as shown in Fig. 4, according to the instruction of the user 1, the control device 50 executes the application 32 in the storage device 30 programmed to manage the exercise, , the interface of the executed application 32 may be displayed through the display 20 . Since the management system can be used by a number of different users 1 , the management system needs to individually identify the users 1 in order to effectively manage their workouts. Accordingly, the executed application 32 first provides an interface for the user's login, and each user 1 can log in to the management system using the provided interface and their own identification information (S11). As will be described later, a series of exercise management such as exercise history storage, exercise correction, and exercise suggestion may be individually performed for each identified user 1 .

When the user 1 logs in, the control device 50 may provide the user 1's past exercise history and analysis thereof from the database 31 of the storage device 30 (S12). Also, based on this analysis, the control device 50 may suggest an optimal exercise to the user 1 ( S12 ). All of the analysis and suggestion in step S12 may be displayed through the display 20 or may be provided by voice through a separate output device. Unless otherwise stated in the following, all exercise-related information, including analysis, suggestions, opinions, etc., provided by the management system are all provided to the user 1 through the display 20 or the audio output device via video, audio, text , can be printed in the form of pictures, etc. According to the provided history, analysis, and suggestion, the user 1 can select a predetermined exercise to be performed, and this selection is made by using an input device provided to the management system, for example, the display 20 composed of a touch screen or a keyboard, a switch, etc. It can be done using In addition, the user 1 can also select the number of times and duration of the selected exercise. Unless otherwise stated below, any type of input by the user to the management system may basically use the input device described above. When a predetermined exercise to be performed by the user 1 is selected, the control device 50 may provide a description of the selected exercise stored in the database 31 of the storage device 30 to the user 1 (S13) ). The user 1 may be familiar with the corresponding exercise according to the provided description, and may be ready to perform the corresponding exercise. In addition, for accurate analysis, the motion of the user 1 during exercise must be accurately detected, and for this purpose, the user 1 needs to be located within the sensing range of the sensing device 10 . More specifically, the user 1 needs to be located within the field of view range of the camera, which is the sensing device 10 . Accordingly, the control device 50 may preliminarily acquire an image of the user 1 through the sensing device 10 , and may determine whether the user is located within a sensing range, that is, an angle of view through the acquired image. If the user 1 is out of the sensing range, the control device 50 may instruct or request the user 1 to be located within the sensing range (S41). In addition, when the user 1 is not located within the detection range, the control device 50 may not start analyzing the user 1's exercise no matter how much the user 1 starts the exercise.

Through the preparation step (S10), the user 1 is ready to perform the selected exercise, and can start the selected exercise (S20).

Referring to FIG. 5 , when the user 1 starts exercising, the control device 50 provides a first video showing an example of the exercise through the display 20 while the user 1 performs the exercise. It can be done (S21), and an example 21 of such a first moving picture is shown in FIG. In more detail, the control device 50 may output the first moving image 21 stored in the database 31 in the interface of the previously executed application 32 on the display 20 . The first moving image 21 includes the image of the trainer 2, and during playback, the image of the trainer 2 performing a combination or set of motions of the exercise selected by the user 1 with the correct posture and appropriate speed is continuously displayed. can be shown as Also, controlled by the control device 50 , the first moving image 21 may show a combination or set of exercises repeatedly selected by the user 1 for a preset number of times. Accordingly, the user 1 can perform the exercise selected accurately while watching the provided first video 21 .

In addition, when the user 1 starts exercising, the control device 50 may provide a second video showing the user 1 performing the selected exercise through the display 20 (S22), and this second An example 22 of a moving picture is also shown in FIG. 10 . More specifically, the control device 50 captures the motion of the user 1 exercising by using the sensing device 10 , and uses the captured motion of the user 1 on the display 20 of the application 32 on the display 20 . It can be output in real time within the interface. Accordingly, the user 1 can perform an exercise more accurately by checking an image of his/her exercise in real time.

Also, as shown in FIG. 10 , the control device 50 may simultaneously provide the first video 21 and the second video 22 through the display 20 . More specifically, the first moving image 21 and the second moving image 22 may be arranged together in a separated state in the screen of the display 20 . That is, the first and second moving images 21 and 22 may be respectively arranged in divided regions of the interface of the application 32 on the display 20 . Accordingly, the user 1 can perform the exercise more accurately by checking the first moving image 21 showing the correct exercise and the second moving image 22 showing the user's actual exercise together. Furthermore, if the playback of the first moving image 21 showing an exemplary exercise performed at the same time as the exercise of the user 1 starts does not start, that is, if the playback start of the first moving image 21 is ), if it is earlier or later than the start of the movement, the user 1 may be difficult to keep pace with the exemplary example in the first moving image 21 . Accordingly, the control device 50 may synchronize the start of reproduction of at least the first moving image 21 with the start of the exercise of the user 1 . That is, the control device 50 may detect the start of the exercise of the user 1 using the sensing device 10 , and when the start of the exercise of the user is sensed, it may start playing the first moving image 21 . Accordingly, the user 1 can easily keep pace with the exemplary exercise shown in the first moving image 21 . Also, the control device 50 may synchronize the playback start of the second video 22 showing the user 1's actual exercise with the user 1's actual exercise start, and accordingly, the user 1 synchronizes with each other. The exercise can be easily performed by referring to the first and second moving images 21 and 22 .

In addition, with the start of movement of the user 1 (S20), the control device 50 detects the motion of the exercising user 1 using the sensing device 10, and the detected motion is analyzed by the motion analysis unit 51 ) can be analyzed through (S30). More specifically, the control device 50 may detect various states or characteristics related to the exercise the user 1 is performing from the analysis of the sensed motion.

Using these states or characteristics, the control device 50 may first provide various information related to the exercise being performed in the interface of the display 20 , that is, the application 32 . Referring to FIG. 10 , the control device 50 analyzes the motion of the user 1 sensed through the sensing device 10 , and the number of motions 23 , that is, the number of combinations/sets of motions forming one motion can be detected, and the number of times detected can be displayed. The actual number of exercise 23 may be displayed together with the previously set target number of exercise. In addition, the control device 50 may analyze the motion of the user 1 sensed through the sensing device 10 to detect the speed of the motion and display the detected motion speed 24 . In this case, the movement speed may mean a movement distance per unit time of a body part performing the motions of the selected movement. The control device 50 may compare the detected actual motion speed with an appropriate speed preset for the corresponding motion and relatively display the appropriateness of the actual motion speed. For example, if the detected actual movement speed is included in the appropriate movement speed range, the movement speed 24 may be displayed as "good". In addition, if the detected actual movement speed is greater or less than the appropriate movement speed, the movement speed 24 may be displayed as "fast" or "slow", on the other hand, the movement speed 24 may be expressed numerically along with the appropriate movement speed. As shown in the example of FIG. 10 , the number of exercise 23 and the exercise speed 24 may be basically displayed in the interface of the application 32 . In addition, the number and speed of exercise 23 and 24 are displayed in the second video 22 in the interface of the application 32, but are displayed in the first video 21 or another area of the display 20 outside the interface. could be

In addition, based on the analyzed state or characteristics of the exercise, the control device 50 may determine whether the exercise that the user 1 is performing, precisely, the level of the exercise is within a normal or appropriate range (S40) . In order to obtain the expected effect, exercise must be performed at a normal or appropriate level, and for evaluation of normal or appropriate level of exercise, the state or characteristic of the exercise being performed is a preset value or range, that is, a normal or appropriate value. Or it may be determined whether it is included within the range. In general, for the evaluation of exercise, various states or characteristics may be considered, for example, exercise speed, exercise posture, number of times, time, etc. may be considered. Among these states or characteristics, the exercise speed has a direct correlation with the stamina of the user 1 and thus the pace control. Accordingly, the evaluation of the movement speed and the correction of the movement based thereon can enable the user 1 to exercise for a sufficient time without being tired. That is, the evaluation and correction of the exercise speed can greatly improve the exercise continuity of the user 1 . In addition, since the user 1 can maintain his/her own pace during exercise by such evaluation and correction, it is possible to continuously maintain an accurate posture. Accordingly, the accuracy of the movement can also be improved.

For this reason, the control device 50 may preferentially consider the speed of the exercise currently performed by the user 1 among the exercise states or characteristics in order to determine the appropriate level of exercise. In this case, the control device 50 detects the speed from the motion of the exercising user 1 detected by the sensing device 10 to determine whether the detected motion speed is a preset range, that is, a normal or an appropriate range. There is (S40).

If it is determined that the exercise level of the user 1 is not within the normal or appropriate range, the control device 50 provides feedback for inducing the user 1's exercise to the normal or appropriate range through the feedback unit 51 . (feedback) may be provided to the user (S50). That is, when the speed of the detected motion is not included in the preset normal or appropriate range, for example, when the speed of the detected motion is smaller or greater than the speed values of the preset range, A feedback for inducing the speed of the user 1's motion to the preset range may be provided (S50). In this feedback providing step ( S50 ), the control device 50 may perform a series of steps for correcting the motion of the user 1 , and these steps may be given in various forms as described below.

In this feedback providing step (S50), first, as shown in FIG. 6, the control device 50 sets the playback speed of the first moving image 21 including the exemplary example of the motion to be smaller than the preset speed range. It can be set to 1 speed (S51a). An example of such a speed setting step (S51a) is shown in FIG. More specifically, FIG. 11( a ) shows a normal first moving picture 21a reproduced in a preset normal speed range, precisely any one speed value included in this speed range. On the other hand, FIG. 11(b) shows a modified second moving image 21b reproduced at a speed smaller than the preset speed values in the normal speed range, that is, the first speed. That is, in order to provide the modified second moving image 21b of FIG. 11( b ), the control device 50 determines that the motion speed of the trainer 2 included in the modified first moving image 21b is the first speed. The playback speed of the normal second moving image 21a may be adjusted to be equal to . By this speed control, as shown in FIG. 11, the number of motions of the trainer 2 performed for a predetermined unit time (t0 - t1) during the reproduction of the deformed first moving image 21b is the normal first moving image ( 21a) may be reduced than the number of motions.

Thereafter, the control device 50 may reproduce the first moving image, that is, the deformed first moving image 21b, at the first speed for a predetermined time (S51b). When the exercise speed of the user 1 is less than the preset range, this means that the user 1 has difficulty keeping pace with the normal speed even if the user 1's physical strength is lowered or the physical strength is not lowered. can do. However, since the first deformed moving image 21b of the small first speed is played, the user 1 can easily keep pace with the exemplary example of the deformed first moving image 21b, and does not give up the exercise can be done with In addition, since it can keep pace with the best practices provided, the posture of the user 1 can also be accurate. On the other hand, when the exercise speed of the user 1 is greater than the preset range, the continuous performance of the exercise may lower the physical strength of the user 1 before the time for obtaining a sufficient exercise effect. However, if the first deformed moving image 21b at a small first speed is played, and the user 1 keeps pace with the deformed first moving image 21b, the user 1 can continue exercising for a sufficient time. You can maintain your stamina for The control device 50 continuously detects and detects the motion of the user 1 through the sensing device 10 in order to determine whether the user 1 assists the user 1 with respect to the above-described deformed first video 21b. motion can be analyzed.

After that, when the movement of the user 1 is in line with the deformed first moving image 21b, that is, the first moving image 21 reproduced at the first speed, the control device 50 controls the first moving image ( 21), the playback speed may be gradually increased (S51c). More specifically, the control device 50 gradually increases the playback speed of the first moving image 21 to be included within the preset range from the first speed, that is, to any one speed value within the preset appropriate range. can According to this increasing step (S51c), since the playback speed of the first moving picture 21 is gradually increased, the user 1 can easily perform the exercise in keeping with the increasing playback speed of the first moving picture 21. As a result, it can be smoothly guided up to a normal movement speed.

In addition, separately from the above-described playback speed adjusting step (S51a-S51c), the control device 50 provides a feedback step (S50), when one motion in the first moving picture 21 being played is completed, the user (1) Playback of the first video 21 may be temporarily stopped until the corresponding motion is completed. That is, the control device 50 detects the motion of the user 1 , and when the user 1 completes the corresponding motion that has been played in the first video 21 , the next motion is shown, if it has already been temporarily stopped If the playback of the first video 21 is resumed or is not temporarily stopped, the playback of the first video 210 may be continued. In addition, the control device 50 allows the user 1 to If the playback-completed motion is not completed, playback of the first video 21 may be temporarily stopped so as not to show the next motion, or if it has already been paused, the pause may be maintained. The stopping step can guide the user 1 step by step for each individual motion, so that the user 1 can more easily keep pace with the first moving picture 21, and can continue the motion in the normal speed range. Such a pause step may also be performed in conjunction with the playback speed adjustment steps SS51a-S51c In this case, the first video 21b in which the same pause step as described above is modified, that is, the first speed It can be basically performed in the steps S51a and S51b in which the first moving picture 21 is played back, that is, the first moving picture 21 is played back at a small first speed, and intermittently until the completion of the reproduced motion. The playback of the same first moving picture 21 may be temporarily stopped. In addition, the pause step may be performed in the same manner in the step (S51c) of increasing the playback speed of the first moving picture 21 from the first speed. , while the first moving image 21 is reproduced at an increasing speed every predetermined time interval, the reproduction of the first moving image 21 may be temporarily stopped intermittently until the reproduced motion is completed.

Alternatively, in the feedback providing step (S50), as shown in FIG. 7 , the control device 50 overlaps the first moving image 21 and the second moving image 22 with each other and can be reproduced. and (S52a), an example of such an overlap is shown in FIG. More specifically, due to the overlap of the first and second moving images 21 and 22, the image of the user 1 who is actually exercising and the image of the trainer 2 exercising at a normal speed overlap each other. can be Accordingly, the user 1 can more directly and clearly compare and distinguish the exercise of the trainer 2 and his own exercise. For this reason, the user 1 can more easily keep pace with the exemplary example of the first moving image 21, and can be induced to exercise at a qualitative movement speed. Also, in the feedback providing step (S50), as shown in FIG. 8 , the control device 50 may enlarge and display a predetermined portion of the first and second moving images 21 and 22 during reproduction (S53a). . More specifically, as shown in the example of FIG. 13 , the control device 50 controls the body parts A used for the exercise performed by the user 1 in the first and second moving images 21 and 22 . ) can be enlarged, and the enlarged area B can be displayed in the first and second moving images 21 and 22 . As shown in the example of FIG. 13 , this enlarged part B enlarges a part of the images of the user 1 and the trainer 2 overlapping each other, or the user 1 and the trainer 2 separated from each other. It can be obtained by enlarging the corresponding parts of the images, respectively. Accordingly, the user 1 can more clearly compare the exercise of the trainer 2 with his own exercise, and can more easily keep pace with the exemplary example of the first video 21 .

After that, if the movement of the user 1 keeps pace with the first moving picture 21 reproduced at a normal speed, that is, when the speed of the detected motion is changed to be included within a preset range, the control device 50 is 7 and 10 , the first moving image 21 and the second moving image 22 may be arranged separately from each other (S52b). Also, as shown in FIG. 8 , the control device 50 may adjust the first and second moving images 21 and 22 so as not to include the enlarged portion B ( S53b ). For example, the control device 50 may reduce the enlarged portion B of the first and second moving images 21 and 22 to the original size or remove the separately displayed enlarged portion B. The first and second moving images 21 and 22 may be returned to their original state by these steps 52b and 53b, and the user 1 may view the first and second moving images 21 and 22 as a whole. Therefore, it is possible to continue and easily perform the exercise induced to a normal level.

In addition, such overlap/enlargement and restoration steps (S52a, S52b, S53a, S53b) may be performed independently of the playback speed adjustment step (SS51a-S51c) of the first moving image 21, as described above. , may be performed in conjunction with these adjustment steps SS51a-S51c. If the overlap/enlargement and restoration steps (S52a, S52b, S53a, S53b) are performed in conjunction with the adjustment steps (SS51a-S51c), the overlap and/or enlargement steps (S52a, S53a) are the first moving pictures ( 21) may be performed simultaneously with the step (S51a) of setting the playback speed to a first speed smaller than the preset range. On the other hand, in the restoration steps (S52b, S52b), the first movement of the user 1 is transformed in the control device 50 instead of when the speed of the detected motion as described above is changed to be included within a preset range. It may also be performed in advance when it is determined to keep pace with the moving picture 21b, that is, the first moving picture 21 reproduced at the first speed.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the exercise level of the user 1 is within the normal or appropriate range, the control device 50 adjusts the exercise level of the user 1 through the feedback unit 51 to the current level, that is, to a normal or appropriate level. Feedback for inducing a higher level may be provided (S60).

In more detail, when the speed of the detected motion is within the preset normal or appropriate range, the control device 50 first, as shown in FIG. 9 , a first moving picture 21 including an exemplary exercise. ) may be set to a second speed greater than the preset range (S61). That is, the control device 50 may adjust the playback speed of the first moving image 21 so that the motion speed of the trainer 2 is equal to the increased second speed. By this speed control, the number of motions of the trainer 2 performed for a predetermined unit time in the first moving picture 21 at the second speed can be increased than the number of motions in the first moving picture 21 at the normal speed. have. By keeping pace with the first moving image 21 of the second speed, the user 1 may be induced to perform a higher level of exercise. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9 , when the speed of the detected motion is included within the preset range, the control device may provide a suggestion for a posture of higher difficulty to the user 1 through the display 10 . There is (S62). For this proposal, the control device 50 may provide an exemplary example of a posture of high difficulty to the user 1 through the first moving image 21, and may provide text or a picture to explain this posture. By keeping pace with this suggested posture, the user 1 may be induced to perform a higher level of exercise.

In addition, when the speed of the detected motion is not included within the preset range, the control device 50 provides information to encourage the user 1 to increase the speed of the motion as a feedback providing step (S50). can In addition, as the feedback providing step (S60), when the speed of the detected motion is included in the preset range, the user 1 may provide information to praise the user 1 to keep the speed of the motion. have. As shown in the example of FIG. 10 , such encouragement or praise information may have a text 25 or a picture 26 provided through the display 20 , for example, in the form of an emoticon. In addition, the encouragement or praise information may consist of a voice outputted through a voice output device, for example, a speaker. Such encouragement or praise information may bring about an actual interaction between the user 1 and the management system, and may cause the user 1's interest in the exercise. Accordingly, the user 1 may be induced to continuously perform the exercise by the provided encouragement and praise information.

Thereafter, the control device 50 may end the exercise management of the user 1 (S70). This end step (S70) may be automatically performed when the preset exercise time and number of times are satisfied. On the other hand, the end step (S70) may be performed by the user manually giving an instruction to the management system. To give an end instruction, the user 1 may use the interface of the application 32 displayed on the display 20 or a physical button or switch of the management system. When the exercise management is finished, the control device 50 may no longer detect or analyze the motion of the user 1 . After the end step (S70), the control device 50 may analyze the exercise performed by the user 1 and suggest a future exercise plan based on the analyzed result (S80). When proposing an exercise plan, the control device 50 may suggest the type of exercise, exercise speed, number of times, time, and the like in detail.

On the other hand, the management system according to the present application may additionally include an accessory to more effectively manage the movement of the user (1). Such an accessory is described below with reference to the related drawings. 14 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a modified example of the personal exercise management system according to the present application, and FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the robot of FIG. 14 .

14 and 15 , the management system of the present application may additionally include a robot 60 as an accessory. When the user 1 starts the movement, the robot 60 may be configured to perform the motion of the movement as it is.

More specifically, the robot 60 may include an actuator 61 configured to drive a portion corresponding to the body portion of the user 1, such as its own body, that is, the head, arm, and leg. The robot 60 may also include a display 62 configured to display certain information. Such a display 62 may be disposed on the chest of the robot 60 to be easily visible to the user 1 . In addition, the robot 60 may include an external device, that is, a communication device 63 communicatively connected to the main devices 10-50 of the management system. Finally, the robot 60 may be equipped with a control device 64 configured to control the devices 61-63 described above.

When the user 1 starts a predetermined movement through the preparation and starting steps S10 and 20 described above, the control device 64 of the robot 60 transmits the sensed user's motion through the communication device 63 . may be received, and the corresponding part of the robot 60 may be operated to perform the same motion by driving the actuator 61 according to the received motion. Also, the control device 64 may receive all information provided to the user 1 through the control method of FIG. 3 through the communication device 63 and output it through the display 62 . Accordingly, the user 1 can confirm his/her movement more clearly by viewing the motion of the robot 60 of substantially large size. Accordingly, the user 1 can continuously and smoothly perform a normal exercise by more easily following the exemplary example given by the first moving image 21 . In addition, the user 1 may have a greater interest in the exercise through interaction with the robot 60 , which may greatly help the user 1 to continue the exercise without giving up.

The foregoing detailed description should not be construed as restrictive in all respects but as illustrative. The scope of the present application should be determined by a reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all modifications within the equivalent scope of the present application are included in the scope of the present application.
