Hereinafter, the concept and service flow of the personalized training management system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 1 .

The personalized training management system 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a server 100 and one or more user terminals 200 .

The server 100 supports the user terminal 200 to use the personalized training management service through the network, and provides an intensive service such as displaying, storing and reporting the screen and data of the personalized training management service, It is a program or electronic device including an algorithm capable of generating a customized exercise routine based on information collected from the user terminal 200 . A program including such an algorithm may be provided to the user terminal 200 through the server 100 . In this specification, the operation provided by the user terminal 200 may be understood as being operated by a program including an algorithm.

The user terminal 200 is an electronic device that can receive a personalized training management service through online such as a web service or an application, and the user terminal 200 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or a mobile device. It may be at least one of a mobile phone, a laptop personal computer, a netbook computer, a workstation, or a wearable device, but is not limited thereto.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a personalized training management service according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least some of the respective steps disclosed in FIG. 2 may be omitted or the mutual order may be changed, and some embodiments in the present specification may be any It is also possible to be added at a point in time.

Receiving the status information from the user terminal 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention (S210) may be operated on the premise of a member registration or log-in operation in the user terminal.

The state information may include at least one of information about the user's body, information about the use situation, and information about the purpose and goal of exercise, and the state information input to the user terminal may be transmitted to the server 100 . .

In an embodiment, the information about the user's body may include at least one of gender, height, weight, in-body value, BMI, a disease, or a physical characteristic to be noted. In addition, as information about the user's exercise performance, it may further include an exerciseable difficulty (eg, high, medium, low) or an exerciseable date (eg, Monday, Wednesday, Friday).

In one embodiment, the information about the usage situation is related to the exercise place (eg, gym, indoor home training, outdoor, etc.), available equipment (eg, machine, dumbbell, etc., bare body exercise equipment, stretching equipment, no equipment, etc.) may contain information.

In an embodiment, information on the purpose of exercise may be provided for the user to select from among diet, body building, rehabilitation, physical strength building, and others, and a screen may be provided to input a specific goal for the purpose selected by the user. . For example, when dieting is the goal, a specific weight may be set as a target, and when rehabilitation is the goal, a weight, frequency, speed, etc. of a specific exercise may be set as a target. In addition, if the purpose is to build a body, information on a part to be specialized or a period for achieving a goal may be included.

In an embodiment, the state information may be received from the user terminal 200 a plurality of times. Exercise routine information and diet routine information are provided whenever status information is received, whereby a personalized training management service in which a change in a user's physical condition or a change in a goal is reflected in the routine information in real time can be provided to the user.

As an additional embodiment, the server 100 may transmit a message requesting input of state information to the user terminal 200 when a certain event occurs. For example, when an event in which feedback information is input to the user terminal 200 occurs, input of changed state information (eg, weight, In-Body value, etc.) may be requested. Alternatively, the input of status information may be requested on a specific day of the week or at a specific time every day.

The step (S230) of determining whether the current state and the target state match according to an embodiment of the present invention includes standardizing and comparing information about the user's body among the state information and information about the purpose and goal of the exercise, , which will be described in detail later in FIG. 3 .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the standardized current state and the target state match, an input for whether to continue management may be received from the user terminal 200 ( S240 ). When a response not to continue management is received from the user terminal 200 , generation of exercise routine information and diet routine information may be stopped, and operations of all steps related to routine generation may be terminated.

On the other hand, when a response to continue management is received from the user terminal 200 or when the standardized current state and the target state do not match, the step of generating exercise routine information and diet routine information (S250) proceeds.

The step of generating exercise routine information and diet routine information according to an embodiment of the present invention (S250) is to generate exercise routine information and diet routine information suitable for the individual user based on a tag designated for each exercise item and status information received from the user terminal. can create

The exercise item is information including at least one of a name of an exercise, an exercise intensity (eg, weight, speed, etc.), and an exercise time, and may include a tag related to the exercise item.

The exercise routine information may be generated as a set of some of the exercise items stored in the server 100, and at least one exercise item is included. In addition, information on recommended products suitable for performing the routine provided to the user may be provided together. The generation of exercise routine information will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 4 .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when exercise routine information and diet routine information are generated, each generated routine information may be transmitted to the user terminal (S251). The user terminal 200 may display information on the received routine, provide an alarm at a predetermined time in each routine, and receive information on whether to perform or feedback for each item included in each routine from the user It can be transmitted to the server 100 .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may receive feedback information from the user terminal 200 ( S270 ). Users are encouraged to follow the exercise routine information and diet routine information provided, but if they do not actually perform it, they may lose the motivation to continue performing the routine. In addition, the user may not be able to continue the set exercise routine due to discomfort such as body pain (eg, muscle pain, injury) that occurs after performing the routine. In order to prevent the routine execution from being interrupted for this reason, feedback information may be received from the user so that the exercise routine information and the diet routine information can be modified in real time. The feedback information may include at least performance information and detection information.

In one embodiment, the performance information is information input and received from the user terminal as to whether the user performed a routine. The performance information may be input for each item included in the exercise routine information and the diet routine information.

As an additional embodiment, the degree of achievement for each exercise item may be input as performance information from the user terminal 200 , and the server 100 may determine whether to perform the exercise. At this time, whether the provided exercise routine item is performed may be determined by comparing the calories consumed by each exercise item with the calories consumed calculated from the input performance information. For example, in the exercise routine information, for an exercise item that runs at a speed of 10 km/h (consuming 175 kcal) for 15 minutes, the server 100 is input as performing 25 minutes of running at 7 km/h (consumption of 204 kcal) as performance information If it is, it can be treated as having achieved the corresponding exercise item as consuming more calories than before.

In one embodiment, the sensed information is information input and received from a user terminal about a user's physical discomfort that occurs after performing a routine. To this end, information about a body part that feels uncomfortable may be displayed on the user terminal 200 . Also, a screen for inputting the type and intensity of pain felt by the user may be provided.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may generate performance evaluation information based on the feedback information received from the user terminal and transmit it to the user terminal 200 (S271).

In one embodiment, the performance evaluation information indicates an evaluation of whether the user performs the exercise routine and the diet routine based on the state information and the feedback information, and is information provided to the user to continue the user's routine performance. .

In addition, the performance evaluation information may include a score calculated based on the performance information and the feedback information, and at least one of praise, encouragement, and feedback messages provided according to the score.

As an additional embodiment, when the performance evaluation information is provided, a reward such as an analysis of the user's accumulated state information and a recommended product or a discount coupon for the recommended product may be provided together.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may receive an input as to whether or not the generation of routine information is terminated from the user terminal 200 ( S280 ). Since the performance evaluation information generated based on the user's feedback information provides motivation and information for the user to continue performing the routine, the effect of continuing service use occurs by asking whether to end the performance evaluation information after providing it.

In one embodiment, when an input indicating whether to terminate the generation of routine information is received, generation of routine information is terminated and service provision is stopped.

As an additional embodiment, although not shown, the server 100 may receive an input related to generation of routine information or interruption or termination of service use from the user terminal 200 at any time. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal When an input not to end is received from 200 , the server 100 may generate routine correction information based on the received feedback information and status information ( S290 ). The routine correction information may include the first exercise routine correction information, the second exercise routine correction information, and the diet routine correction information, and the generated routine correction information is reflected in the exercise routine information and the diet routine information generation step ( S250 ). The first and second exercise routine correction information will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 5 .

As an embodiment, the diet routine correction information may be generated based on the status information and the feedback information. For example, the feedback information includes information on food consumed in excess of specific dietary items (eg, Wednesday, January 27, 2021_dinner → additional consumption of tteokbokki for 1 serving) and information on not performing specific exercise items (eg, squat_10kg/ 15 reps/3 sets → not performed) may be included. In this case, dietary routine revision information (eg, reduced carbohydrate by 30%/increased protein by 20%/increase in fiber by 30%/) may be generated in the subsequent diet routine to decrease carbohydrate intake and increase protein and vegetable intake.

3 is a flowchart illustrating the steps of determining whether the current state and the target state match (S230) and generating exercise routine information and diet routine information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may standardize and compare the current state and the target state ( S310 ). At least one of BMI, in-body value, body fat mass, and 1RM of a specific exercise calculated based on input or input information from the user terminal 200 may be used as a standard for standardization. The server may calculate the standardization criterion and the degree of difference by comparing the standardized value of the current state with the standardized value of the target state.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may extract a standard case having the most similarity to the calculated standardization criterion and the degree of difference from the database (S320). The database is stored in the server 100, and the database may include standard cases including the most ideally designed exercise routine according to standardization criteria and the degree of difference. In addition, the database may include standard cases including exercise routines that were actually applied to the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may apply the state information to the extracted standard case (S330) to generate corrected exercise routine information and diet routine information (S340). For example, if the extracted standard case is that of a woman and the user is a man, the exercise intensity may be increased or a tag related to the menstrual period may be excluded.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a step (S250) of generating exercise routine information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 generates exercise routine information and diet routine information that can achieve a goal by reflecting the user's individual characteristics based on the state information received from the user terminal.

According to an embodiment, the server 100 may store information on exercise items. The information about the workout item includes at least the name and tag of the workout. A tag is a keyword related to the corresponding exercise and belongs to one category. [Table 1] below is an example of tags by category.

category tag One type #aerobic #weights #warm-up #stretching #rehabilitation #correction 2 part #full body #shoulder #chest #abdomen #back #lower body #hip #arm #neck 3 difficulty #upper #middle #lower 4 machine #big appliance #small appliance #bare body 5 burglar #1 2 3 4 5 6 Etc #Flexibility #Quadriceps #Caution_Knee #Excluding menstrual period

Each workout item includes at least one or more tags. Also, each exercise item may include a plurality of tags within the same category. For example, if the exercise name is 'Leg Press', tag '#Weight #Lower Body #Butt #Medium #Large Equipment #(1)M/50KG/12 reps #Quadriceps #Caution_Knee #Excluding menstrual period'. may include

As an embodiment, for 'intensity' in the category, a default value for weight, number of times, or speed according to intensity for each exercise may be set, and the value may be corrected by reflecting state information.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 processes an exercise item including a tag related to a disease/physical characteristic based on the status information received from the user terminal (S410), and includes essential tags for each purpose and goal. An exercise pool may be created by adding an exercise item (S420).

In one embodiment, in the step (S410) of processing exercise items including tags related to diseases and physical characteristics, the information about the purpose and goal among the status information is for the purpose of rehabilitation or correction of a part having the disease or physical characteristic. If included, the server 100 can create an exercise pool by adding tags (eg, #cruciate ligament, #flatfoot, #turtleneck, etc.) and #rehabilitation or #correction tags that have the disease/physical characteristics. have.

On the other hand, if the purpose and goal information among the status information does not include the purpose of rehabilitation or correction of a part having the disease/physical characteristic, the server 100 excludes the tag related to the part related to the disease/physical characteristic. You can create an exercise pool.

In this way, by providing exercise routine information in consideration of the user's individual physical characteristics, even beginners can receive training management appropriate to their level and gain a sense of accomplishment and trust. This produces the effect of maintaining continuous training management.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may create an exercise pool (S440) by further adding (S430) workout items of relatively insufficient tags in consideration of the weight of tags for each category.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may generate exercise routine information by arranging the exercise items included in the exercise pool on the available exercise date included in the state information and setting the order (S450). The exercise routine information may be set to be repeated based on a predetermined period.

As an additional embodiment, the server 100 may bundle an exercise item including a specific agonist muscle as a tag and an exercise item including an antagonist muscle as a tag and arrange it on the same day. Alternatively, a specific exercise item and an exercise item that includes a muscle that is not used at all in the exercise as a tag can be bundled and placed on the same day.

As another embodiment, one tag of pushing or pulling exercise may be set for each exercise item, and only exercise items corresponding to one of pushing or pulling exercise may be arranged on a specific date. In addition, if only a push exercise is assigned on a specific date, the push exercise of the same muscle may not be assigned on the next date.

As an embodiment, in the case of a woman, information according to the menstrual cycle may be included in the status information, and the type and intensity of an exercise item according to the menstrual cycle may be set.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a step (S290) of correcting an exercise routine by receiving feedback information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may receive feedback information from the user terminal (S510), and generate first exercise routine correction information based on the received performance information (S420).

In one embodiment, the performance information includes information on food consumed in excess of a specific dietary item (eg, Wednesday, January 27, 2021 _ dinner → additional intake of tteokbokki for 1 serving) and information on not performing a specific exercise item (eg, squat_10kg). /15 reps/3 sets → not performed) can be included. In this case, in order to consume carbohydrates consumed, the time of aerobic exercise already included in the exercise routine is increased, and an exercise that includes tags similar to the exercise item that has not been performed (eg #weight #lower body #hip #middle #caution_knee) is added. As a result, the first exercise routine correction information may be generated.

As an additional embodiment, although not shown, the process of generating the first exercise routine correction information may be performed by the process of generating the exercise routine information ( FIG. 4 ). The server 100 excludes exercise items including tags related to diseases and physical characteristics based on the status information received from the user terminal (S410), and adds exercise items including essential tags according to the feedback information (S420) You can create an exercise pool to be added.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 may generate the second exercise routine correction information based on the sensing information received from the user terminal 200 ( S430 ).

As an embodiment, the sensed information may include information about pain occurring after performing at least one exercise item. The information about pain may include information about the type and intensity of pain. For example, after performing a squat, sensing information that a stiff pain in the quadriceps muscle at the back of the thigh is stage 1 and a stinging pain in the knee is stage 3 may be received.

As an embodiment, it may be determined whether or not to modify the routine thereafter according to the type and intensity of pain among the collected sensing information. In the example above, the quadriceps pain level 1 is a simple muscle pain and does not affect the subsequent routine, but the stinging pain level of the knee is a knee nerve problem. By doing so, the second exercise routine correction information may be generated. Detected information serving as a criterion for whether to modify may be set differently for each user according to the user's state information.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6 .

As shown, the server 100 may include a communication module 110 , a control unit 120 , and a storage unit 130 .
