Description

A system and method for diet management with character (upbringing simulation)}

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing diet information to an individual in real time using a character (cultivation simulation) and managing the self. As the Internet and mobile phones become more common, mobile phone subscribers have surpassed 26 million (as of end-December 2000), and wireless Internet users have recorded more than 12 million hits per month.

Web sites that provide diet information in connection with the present invention are estimated to be about 600 companies (as of the end of February, 2006). Existing diet information providing site provides information on obesity information, diet information, exercise information, and provides a variety of diet-related common sense. However, since such information is limited to common sense and not effectively related to users who are in need of a diet, the diet program does not have the intended effect. Therefore, most diet management programs are done offline, such as fasting or training camps, but as the program itself is set to an unreasonable schedule, it is difficult to complete as well as lack of continuous and voluntary weight management. Recurrent yo-yo phenomena are common.

In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is initially set by storing the user's exercise information and intake information which are input daily based on user's personal information registered on a mobile phone, PDA or wired Internet in the member DB 70. Investigate whether the schedule is progressing according to a diet schedule and show interest in visually showing the achievements through the character, and at the same time, create a system and method for effective dieting by controlling itself using SMS and ALARM. It is to provide.

(Example 1)

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a block diagram of a diet system according to the present invention, wherein a user is connected to a WAP GATEWAY 10 connected to a wireless Internet using a mobile phone or a PDA, which is connected to a WAP SERVER 20 through an ISP and an ISP. have.

The WAP SERVER 20 is a logic processing unit 50 for interoperating with the member DB 70 and the daily input information and a screen processing unit 40 for displaying on a small screen such as a mobile phone or a PDA. , SMS transmission unit 80, WAP DB 60 and the member's personal information and daily intake information and exercise amount to send a warning message (Warning Message or Praising Message) as a result of the operation of the logic processing unit 50 It consists of a member DB 70 in which information is stored.

When the user accesses the WAP SERVER 20 through the wireless Internet, the logic processing unit 50 drives the WAP DB 60 to request initial user information input when the user is the first user. The inputted information is sent to the member DB 70. If it is stored and the existing user, go to next step (S4).

Next, the user has completed the user confirmation procedure (S2) or user information input (S3) WAP DB (60) is driven to select the ranking diet program and self diet program (S4). If the user selects the ranking diet program, the user inputs the daily intake and exercise information, and the logic processing unit 50 receives this information and stores it in the member DB 70.

In the next logic processing unit (S8), the intake and exercise amount input by the user as an SMS transmitter when exceeding (in short) the daily required intake and the daily required exercise amount of the program selected by the user as a warning message (Warning Message) or encouragement message ( Praising Message) and the character processing unit 80 selects a character having a facial expression and motion according to the situation and transmits the character to be displayed on the user's mobile phone or PDA through the screen processing unit 40.

Next, the logic processing unit 50 compares the information of the member DB 70 with the intake and exercise amount of the user who has entered the information to the user's mobile phone or PDA. Transmit it and digitize it. Next, the logic processing unit 50 arranges and ranks the achievements of the program to which the user belongs in the member DB 70 and causes the screen processing unit 40 to display the result. Inputs daily intake and exercise amount information, and the logic processing unit 50 receives this information and stores it in the member DB. In the next logic processing unit S8, the SMS transmitter sends a warning message or a prompting message when the amount is exceeded (lack) in comparison with the required exercise amount input by the user, and the character processing unit 80 causes the situation. The character is selected to have a facial expression and motion according to the character and transmits the character to be displayed on the user's mobile phone or PDA through the screen processor 40.

Next, the logic processing unit 50 displays the user's current achievement, and compares the information of the member DB with the user's intake and exercise amount so far, and transmits a character with various expressions and gestures to the user's mobile phone or PDA. The degree is numerically displayed.

(Example 2)

In another embodiment of the present invention, when a user accesses the WAP SERVER 20 embedded in the system when the user accesses the wired Internet instead of the user connected through the wireless Internet, the user manages the system by downloading the diet management software. INSTALL Next, the normal member login page is loaded, and inputs his own diet information (weight, height, exercise amount, meal amount, etc.) together with the member information, and selects among the ranking diet program and the self diet program.

If this process completes without error, a character is created that occupies a portion of the monitor screen. This character communicates with the WAP SERVER 20 of the diet system to send and receive information. The user clicks on the corresponding part of the character when trying to input the daily intake and exercise amount. The character is linked to the member DB 70 in real time according to the user's input information, and the motion and facial expression are changed to visually display the diet achievement of the user. Unlike the implementation in the wireless Internet, the voice can be expressed in WEB, so that visual and auditory effects can be obtained.

Therefore, the system compares the intake information and the exercise amount information of the user input in real time with the member DB 70, and then transmits the result as a character, a message, and a voice.

(Example 3)
