With the advancement of communication technology, the use of wireless earphone devices is gradually increasing. Recently, TWS (True Wireless Stereo) products, which have no cables or connectors between earphones, have become mainstream, providing various functions by linking with electronic devices such as smartphones, tablet devices, or computers.

Meanwhile, due to the recent explosive increase in adult diseases such as heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, the need for sports medicine that can systematically prevent them is increasing, and accordingly, body shape management and health management according to individual differences are necessary.

In the case of PT (Personal Training), which is generally performed for health management, the trainer determines the user's exercise level and load using a subjective method, and due to the standard exercise amount calculation, individual characteristics are not reflected, so the individual's exercise ability is affected. There was no differentiation.

Additionally, in general, in exercise centers such as fitness clubs, the number of trainers specializing in exercise management is small compared to the number of people who want to exercise, making it difficult to provide differentiated training to individuals who want to exercise.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a technology that allows users to use wireless earphones to test their exercise ability according to their own physiological characteristics without the help of a trainer, and to provide differentiated exercise programs according to the tested individual exercise ability.

In other words, the light L output from the light emitting unit 3000 may pass through the optical diffuser 3200 and diffuse as much as the light emitting area A1, and may be diffused by a predetermined blood vessel included in the user's body 1. The reflected light RL reflected by 2) passes through the optical diffuser 3200 again and enters the increased light receiving area A2, thereby being received into the light receiving unit 3100.

To this end, the PPG sensor 111 including the optical diffuser 3200 according to the embodiment may be implemented with a predetermined structure.

Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of a PPG sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, in the embodiment, the PPG sensor 111 may include a substrate S supporting the light emitting unit 3000 and the light receiving unit 3100 disposed next to the light emitting unit 3000.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the PPG sensor 111 may include a housing (H) disposed on the substrate (S) and accommodating the light emitting unit (3000) and the light receiving unit (3100).

Additionally, in the embodiment, the housing (H) may include a diaphragm (B) disposed between the light emitting unit 3000 and the light receiving unit 3100.

The diaphragm (B) prevents the light (L) emitted from the light emitting unit (3000) from being reflected inside the housing (H) rather than the blood vessel (2) of the user's body (1) and being received into the light receiving unit (3100). can be placed for

In addition, in the embodiment, the optical diffuser 3200 includes a first lens 3210 that diffuses the light (L) output from the light emitting unit 3000, and a second lens that receives the reflected light (RL) toward the light receiving unit 3100. It may include (3220).

In detail, the first lens 3210 is located at a position spaced apart from the light emitting unit 3000 in the optical diffuser 3200, and the second lens 3220 is located at a position spaced apart from the light emitting unit 3000 in the optical diffuser 3200. It may be formed and placed in a location spaced apart from the.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the light receiving unit 3100 may include an optical filter having a predetermined structure to transmit only the reflected light RL incident on the light receiving unit 3100 at a predetermined position.

Figure 7 is an example showing the structure of an optical filter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 included in the light receiving unit 3100 may include an IR filter 3115 provided with an inclined surface (INC) having a predetermined inclination.

Here, the IR filter 3115 according to the embodiment is an infared pass filter and may be an infrared filter. This IR filter 3115 may have a structure that transmits the visible light region of incident light and reflects the near-infrared region.

In addition, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 including the IR filter 3115 includes a first section (SEC-1) capable of receiving a predetermined reflected light (RL) based on the inclined surface (INC) and a reflected light (RL). It can be divided into the second section (SEC-2), which is unacceptable.

At this time, the first and second lights RL1 and RL2 entering the first section (SEC-1) and the inclined surface (INC) are the IR disposed below the first section (SEC-1) and the inclined surface (INC). It may be transmitted through the filter 3115.

However, the third light RL3 entering the second section SEC-2 may not be transmitted because the IR filter 3115 disposed below does not exist.

The optical filter 3110 having the above-described structure does not include an IR filter 3115 below the light incident at an abnormal position before considering the angular range of the incident light, so it may not primarily receive the corresponding light. .

Meanwhile, referring again to FIG. 6, even if the optical filter 3110 according to the embodiment has the above-described structure, the light (L) emitted from the light emitting unit 3000 is inside the housing (H) of the PPG sensor 111. Alternatively, crosstalk may occur when it is reflected on the glass unit 3300 and input to the light receiving unit 3100.

This may cause an unwanted offset in the measured value and limit the operating range of the input circuit.

In order to minimize the occurrence of such problems, the optical filter 3110 of the light receiving unit 3100 according to the embodiment may transmit only the reflected light RL incident within a preset angle range.

Figure 8 is an example of a drawing for explaining the angular range of reflected light incident on an optical filter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, a reference angle (SA) for distinguishing between a valid signal (Prox signal) and an invalid signal (CrossTalk) may be preset in the optical filter 3110 of the light receiving unit 3100 according to the embodiment. .

If the reflected light RL incident on the optical filter 3110 of the light receiving unit 3100 according to the embodiment is equal to or smaller than the reference angle SA, it may be classified as a valid signal. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the reflected light RL classified as a valid signal may be referred to as first reflected light.

Additionally, if the reflected light RL incident on the optical filter 3110 of the light receiving unit 3100 according to the embodiment is greater than the reference angle SA, it may be classified as an invalid signal. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the reflected light RL classified as an invalid signal may be referred to as the second reflected light.

Here, the incident angle of the first reflected light may be between 25 degrees and 35 degrees, and the incident angle of the second reflected light may be between 40 degrees and 50 degrees.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 may have a first pass band (WL-1) corresponding to the wavelength band of the light output from the light emitting unit 3000 for the first reflected light.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 may have a second pass band (WL-2) shifted by a predetermined wavelength from the first pass band (WL-1) for the second reflected light. .

That is, the optical filter 3110 may include an IR filter 3115 designed to have different transmittance depending on the angle of incidence of the reflected light RL in order to minimize invalid signals (CrossTalk).

Figure 9 is an example of a drawing for explaining the specifications of an IR filter designed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, in the embodiment, the wavelength of the first pass band (WL-1) may be 920 nm to 960 nm.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the angle of incidence of the first pass band (WL-1) may be within 30 degrees.

Additionally, in an embodiment, the incident angle of the second pass band (WL-2) may gradually shift from the first pass band (WL-1) as the incident angle increases beyond 30 degrees.

At this time, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 may transmit reflected light having a wavelength and incident angle included in the first pass band (WL-1) with a first transmittance of at least 90% or more.

In addition, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 detects the reflected light incident at an angle between the incident angle of the first pass band (WL-1) and the incident angle of the second pass band (WL-2) at an angle of incidence of 30 degrees or more. As the incident angle increases from 45 degrees, the transmittance can be transmitted with a second transmittance that is inversely proportional.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the optical filter 3110 may block reflected light incident at an angle greater than the incident angle of the second pass band WL-2 without transmitting it.

Therefore, the PPG sensor 111 according to the embodiment includes a light receiving unit 3100 in which an IR filter 3115 designed to have different transmittance depending on the angle of incidence of the reflected light RL is disposed, thereby minimizing invalid signals (CrossTalk). This has the effect of designing the exercise program provided to the user to be more suitable for the user based on the highly accurate user sensing data obtained.

In addition, in the embodiment, the optical diffuser 3200 included in the PPG sensor 111 is an optical plate disposed on the housing H and supporting the first lens 3210 and the second lens 3220 ( 3200-P) may further be included.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the PPG sensor 111 may include a glass portion 3300 for passing light on the optical plate 3200-P.

At this time, the glass portion 3300 is disposed on the front body (FB) of the left ear unit 101 and can directly contact the user's ears when worn.

That is, in the embodiment, the PPG sensor 111 may be placed at a position corresponding to a predetermined part of the user's ear.

Figure 10 is a diagram for explaining the corresponding position of the PPG sensor inside the earphone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, in the embodiment, the PPG sensor 111 may be provided at a position corresponding to a portion of at least one of spots A to E in the user's ear.

At this time, the A to E spots may be places in the ear where the microvascular density is high.

The reason why the PPG sensor according to the embodiment must be provided in a position corresponding to a portion of at least one of the spots A to E is that the ear has only cartilage and blood vessels that do not move much even when the body actively moves, and the major This is because there is an ideal artery bank between the -tragus (in the example, C spot) and the concha (in the example, A spot), which dramatically reduces the optical noise that needs to be filtered out.

In detail, in the embodiment, the first area of the glass portion 3300 in the PPG sensor 111 is located at a position corresponding to the Cymba concha area of the user's ear (in the embodiment, A spot) when worn. can be placed.

In addition, in the embodiment, the second area extending from the first area of the glass part 3300 in the PPG sensor 111 is at least part of the ear canal of the user's ear (in the embodiment, E spot) when worn. It may be placed in a location corresponding to some of them.

This is because arterial blood necessary for measuring the user's vital signs exists in the ear canal.

That is, in the embodiment, the earphones 100 may measure the heart rate based on the PPG sensor 111 corresponding to the predetermined position. Additionally, unlike other parts of the user's body, such as fingers, the external auditory canal can measure oxygen saturation by measuring changes in PPG according to breathing.

Additionally, in an embodiment, the control unit 180 of the earphone 100 may simultaneously acquire PPG data and proximity data using a fusion sensor in which the PPG sensor 111 and the proximity sensor 117 are fused.

This has the effect of dramatically increasing the economic efficiency of resources by reducing the weight of the device.

Hereinafter, a method of calculating the user's exercise ability in order for the application 211 executed by at least one processor of the user terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention to provide an exercise program providing service based on the earphone 100 will be described. This will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 13 to 20.

In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one processor of the user terminal 200 may execute at least one application 211 stored in at least one memory 210 or operate in a background state.

Hereinafter, the at least one processor operates to execute the instructions of the application 211 to perform a method of executing a user exercise ability test to provide the earphone 100-based exercise program provision service described above. (211) will be briefly explained as being performed.

Figure 13 is a flowchart illustrating a method of calculating a user's exercise ability to provide an earphone-based exercise program provision service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 13, in an embodiment, the application 211 may execute a basic settings process. (S101)

In detail, in the embodiment, the application 211 may execute a basic setting process to input and store information that must be basically set in the earphones 100 and the application 211 in order to provide an exercise program providing service.

At this time, the basic setting process may include membership registration, profile setting, earphone 100 registration, and calibration.

In an embodiment, the application 211 may provide a membership registration interface for creating a user account based on user input.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may set a profile in the user account created based on the membership registration interface.

To set the profile, in an embodiment, the application 211 may obtain user physical information including height, weight, age, and/or gender.

At this time, in the embodiment, the application 211 may automatically calculate the target heart rate based on the age entered as the user's body information.

For example, the application 211 may calculate the target heart rate based on Equation 1.

[Formula 1]

220 - Age = Maximum heart rate

Here, the calculated target heart rate can be used to set the exercise intensity when providing the exercise program service in the future.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may determine a calorie consumption calculation formula based on the gender entered as the user's body information.

In detail, in the embodiment, the application 211 may determine the first calorie consumption calculation formula if the input gender is male.

For example, the application 211 may determine Equation 2 as the first calorie consumption calculation formula.

[Formula 2]

((-55.0969 + (0.6309 x HR) + (0.1988 x W) + (0.2017 x A))/4.184) x 60 x T = Calories burned

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may determine a second calorie consumption calculation formula if the input gender is female.

For example, the application 211 may determine Equation 3 as the second calorie consumption calculation formula.

[Formula 3]

((-20.4022 + (0.4472 x HR) - (0.1263 x W) + (0.074 x A))/4.184) x 60 x T = Calories burned

In Equation 2 and Equation 3 above, HR means heart rate (in beats/minute). Also, W stands for Weight (in kilograms), meaning body weight. Also, A stands for Age(in years), meaning age. Additionally, T stands for Exercise duration time (in hours).

At this time, when one of Equation 2 and Equation 3 is determined, information about weight and age that can be substituted at the determining stage can be substituted in advance. Meanwhile, information about heart rate and exercise time can be substituted after being acquired through steps described later.

Here, the determined calorie consumption calculation formula can be used to calculate the user's calories consumption when providing the daily routine mode in the future.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may set the acquired user body information as a profile in the user account.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may detect a registration input for the earphone 100 when profile settings are completed. At this time, for example, the user can input the model name of the earphone 100 that the user owns, or register the user's earphone 100 detected using the Bluetooth function, etc.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may perform calibration (an act of checking and adjusting the precision of a measuring device using a standard whose value is known). This may be a process of calibrating the sensor unit 110 included in the earphone 110 according to the ear shape and/or wearing method, etc., which are different for each user.

For example, the application 211 can measure the forward direction based on the measurement method of wearing earphones and standing facing forward for a few seconds. Additionally, the downward direction can be measured based on the measurement method of wearing earphones and standing while looking downward for a few seconds.

Through this, the application 211 obtains predetermined information including left and right balance, height, neck range of motion, angle of each ear unit, etc. when the user wears the earphones 100, and sets the information as a standard. We can provide exercise program provision services that meet the applicable standards.

In detail, Figure 14 is an example of a daily life mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 15 is an example of an exercise mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 14, in the embodiment, the application 211 measures heart rate, body temperature, number of steps, calories burned, stress index, and walking posture based on the earphones 100 worn by the user during daily activities excluding exercise. User status information including at least one piece of information can be output to the display in daily mode (DM).

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may output the target heart rate, target number of steps, and target calories burned based on previously acquired user body information to the daily mode (DM).

In addition, referring to FIG. 15, in the embodiment, the application 211 measures heart rate, body temperature, number of steps, calories burned, distance traveled, and cadence (cadence: 1) measured based on the earphones 100 worn by the user exercising. An exercise mode (EM) including at least one information of the number of pedaling steps per minute and/or the number of times the user steps on the ground per minute may be displayed on the display.

Meanwhile, the information output in the exercise mode (EM) uses walking as an example, and as various exercise modes such as “running” and “biking” exist, the information output may be different.

Additionally, in embodiments, application 211 may execute an athletic ability testing process. (S105)

Subsequently, the application 211 may obtain the average value of the first to third values. Additionally, the application 211 can calculate the stride length for each key by determining the obtained average value as the stride length.

Additionally, in an embodiment, the application 211 may calculate an average walking speed based on the calculated stride length.

For example, the application 211 may calculate a fourth value for 'moving distance per m' and a fifth value for 'cadence per n minutes' for each stride length corresponding to each key. Additionally, the application 211 can calculate the average walking speed by converting the fourth and fifth values into speed.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may assign a predetermined weight to the calculated average walking speed according to age and gender. For example, the application 211 may assign greater weight to the average walking speed as the age increases. Likewise, for example, the application 211 may assign weight to the average walking speed if the gender is male.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may match the calculated average walking speed for each component of the body information.

In other words, in the embodiment, the application 211 may calculate the maximum oxygen intake by automatically substituting the extracted weight, age, gender, obtained total exercise time value, and first heart rate value into Equation 4.

For example, the application 211 can calculate the maximum oxygen intake based on Equation 4.

[Formula 4]

132.853 - (0.16953 × BW(kg)) - (0.3877 × age) + (6.315 × gender) - (3.2649 × Time(min)) - (0.1565 × HR) = Maximum oxygen intake (Vo2max(mL·kg/min) )

In Equation 4 above, mL is a unit for measuring oxygen.

Additionally, BW stands for body weight, and the weight extracted from the user's body information can be substituted.

Additionally, the gender extracted from the user's body information can be assigned to gender, with 1 being assigned to a male and 0 being assigned to a female.

Additionally, the total exercise time value can be substituted for Time.

Additionally, HR means heart rate (in beats/minute), and the first heart rate value can be substituted.

Accordingly, in the embodiment, the application 211 can obtain the maximum oxygen intake based on Equation 4 above.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may calculate the user's exercise capacity based on a predetermined table in which grades are already matched for each user's maximum oxygen intake.

Figure 19 is an example of a table for calculating exercise capacity according to the user's maximum oxygen intake according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 19, in the embodiment, the application 211 may calculate exercise capacity based on the second table T-2, which sets a predetermined range for the user's maximum oxygen intake for each grade.

At this time, in the embodiment, the second table (T-2) is a table that classifies the maximum oxygen intake estimate according to age and/or gender among the user's physical information into predetermined grades (e.g., first to fifth grades). You can. At this time, the grade may be classified into fewer or more grades.

In the embodiment, the application 211 may select predetermined information that matches the user's body information on the second table (T-2).

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may extract the grade corresponding to the user's maximum oxygen intake obtained from selected information.

Accordingly, in the embodiment, the application 211 may determine the extracted grade as the user's athletic ability.

At this time, each grade may be matched with athletic ability from best/very high/good/average/low to very low in the order of the first to fifth grades.

Referring again to FIG. 19, for example, assuming that the first user's physical information is a woman in her 20s and the maximum oxygen intake obtained based on the test is 50, the application 211 displays the second table (T-2 ) Based on this, the first grade 510 that is already matched to the range 500 including the maximum oxygen intake can be determined as the exercise ability of the first user.

Meanwhile, in an embodiment, the application 211 may calculate the maximum oxygen intake without an exercise ability test.

At this time, in the embodiment, the application 211 may calculate the maximum oxygen intake without an exercise ability test based on Equation 5.

[Formula 5]

15.3 x (HRmax/HRrest) = Maximum oxygen intake (Vo2max (mL·kg/min)

In Equation 5, HRmax means maximum heart rate and can be calculated using the same formula as Equation 1 above.

Additionally, HRrest may mean the heart rate for 1 minute in a stationary state.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may display the calculated user athletic ability on the display.

Additionally, in the embodiment, the application 211 may provide a customized exercise program (hereinafter referred to as exercise program) based on the user's calculated exercise ability. (S109)
