The user information may include personal information such as the age, gender, weight, name, etc. of the user. In addition, the input unit 110 may receive various user commands for controlling the operation of the activity measuring device 100.

The controller 130 may control various operations of the activity measuring apparatus 100 according to a user command input through the input unit 110. Specifically, when a turn-on command is input, the controller 130 controls a power supply unit (not shown) to provide driving power for the activity amount measuring device 100. The controller 130 may be implemented as a low power driving circuit.

The sensor unit 120 senses a user's movement. In detail, the sensor unit 120 may include an acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor can be configured as two or three axes. The acceleration sensor may calculate the vertical movement of the user.

The controller 130 generates activity amount analysis information for the user based on the user information and the information about the movement sensed by the sensor unit 120. Activity analysis information means a variety of information derived by analyzing the activity of the user. As described above, the activity analysis information may include various information. For example, the activity analysis information includes at least one of the current time, exercise time, steps, travel distance, calorie consumption, total calorie consumption, exercise intensity, basal metabolic rate, exercise period.

The controller 130 calculates the amount of activity of the user using the sensing value output from the acceleration sensor and the measurement interval for sensing the user's movement, and analyzes the amount of activity using the user information input through the input unit 110. Generate analysis information.

Among the activity analysis information, such as calorie consumption, calorie consumption per mile, travel distance, travel distance, calorie consumption during jogging, etc. may be calculated using the following equation.

[Equation 1]

CC = MC * M * 0.00006213

MC = 3.7103 + (0.2678 * W) + (0.0359 * (P * 60 * 0.00006213) * 2) * W

M = ((H = 100) * P) / 100

JC = (33.3 + 0.178 * (JP-150) * W) / 100

Here, M is the distance traveled, MC is the calories per mile, CC is the calorie consumption, W is the weight, P is the number of steps, H is the height, JC is the calorie consumption during jogging, JP means the number of jogging steps.

The storage unit 140 stores the activity analysis information generated by the controller 130, user information input through the input unit 110, and the like. In detail, the storage 140 may further store, in addition to the user information and the activity amount analysis information, a setting value which is a standard for calculating the activity amount, software information about software for generating the activity amount analysis information, and error information.

The display unit 150 may display the activity analysis information stored in the storage 140. The display unit 150 may display activity analysis information using an LCD panel or an LED. In addition, the display unit 150 may display battery remaining amount information and date information.

The communicator 160 may transmit the activity analysis information stored in the storage 140 to the external device 200. The communication unit 160 may perform communication according to one of known wireless communication protocols. In detail, the communication unit 160 may communicate with the external device 200 using one of Bluetooth, Zigbee, and IEEE wireless communication standard protocol.

Alternatively, the communication unit 160 may access an SMS server, a web server, or the like, and transmit an SMS message or an electronic mail to the external device 200.

Information about the external device 200 may be stored in the storage 140. Specifically, the IP address, URL, telephone number, etc. of the external device 200 may be stored in the storage 140.

The controller 130 may control the communicator 160 to transmit activity analysis information to the pre-registered external device 200 at predetermined time periods. Alternatively, when a predefined transmission event occurs, the controller 130 may control the communication unit 160 to transmit activity analysis information to the pre-registered external device 200. The transmission event may include a case in which a user presses a specific button, a case in which a movement is not sensed for a preset time, and the like.

The controller 130 may switch the operation mode of the activity measuring device 100 to various modes such as a normal mode, an exercise mode, a sleep mode, etc. according to a user command input through the input unit 110, that is, a mode change command. Can be. These operation modes are modes for analyzing and recording a user's lifestyle, status, and the like.

The normal mode is a mode for checking the amount of activity in daily life, and the exercise mode is a mode for checking the amount of activity during exercise. The sleep mode is a mode for checking a state during sleep time.

In the normal mode, the controller 130 analyzes the user's body movement to determine whether it is a normal state or an abnormal state. The abnormal state may mean a seizure state, a faint state, a drowsiness state, or an excited state. In detail, the controller 130 may analyze the state using at least one of the generation period and the magnitude of the sensed movement during the measurement interval for sensing the movement of the user.

For example, in a seizure state, movement is faster and larger than in normal exercise. Accordingly, the controller 130 may determine the steady state section when the occurrence period or the size meets the preset normal condition, and may determine the seizure state section when the normal condition is not satisfied. The normal condition means a condition in which the occurrence period is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold period and the magnitude of the motion is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold magnitude.

In addition, even in the excited state, since the movement is faster and larger, similar to the seizure state section, it can be detected in a manner similar to the seizure state section.

On the other hand, if the user has a seizure, it is common that the activity is unavailable for a certain time after the seizure is finished. Therefore, after the seizure occurs and stores the life record information, the data measured for a predetermined time may be meaningless. In consideration of this, the controller 130 may stop measuring, analyzing, and recording data for a preset time after the seizure state ends.

Alternatively, in the case of stunned state or drowsy state, the movement is stopped for a moment. Therefore, if the motion is sensed in a certain pattern with regularity and stops for a moment, the controller 130 may determine that the abnormal state section.

In addition, when the user exercises, the abnormal state section measurement function may be terminated by pressing a button in advance. In this case, the activity measuring device 100 may operate in the exercise mode.

The exercise mode refers to a mode that the user selects before exercising. In the exercise mode compared to the normal mode, the user moves in a predetermined pattern, so that the controller 130 determines that the section in which the movement is sensed is a steady state section. On the other hand, as described above, if the exercise cycle suddenly increases or increases in value, it is determined as an abnormal state section.

The controller 130 may generate the determination result as life record information and store the stored result in the storage 140. In the above, the normal mode and the exercise mode are described as being different operation modes, but the two modes may be unified into one mode.

Sleep mode refers to a mode that a user can select before going to sleep. That is, when the user inputs a user command to switch to the sleep mode, the sensor unit 120 senses the vibration in the sleep state of the user. When the sensor unit 120 further includes a microphone or the like in addition to the acceleration sensor, the sensor 120 may sense a snoring sound or a drool. The controller 130 analyzes the values sensed by the sensor unit 120 from the time when it is switched to the sleep mode, and determines whether the sleep state is a normal sleep state or an awake state in which a person cannot sleep properly. The controller 130 generates sleep record information according to the determination result and stores the sleep record information in the storage 140.

As described above, the controller 130 may generate and store various types of information according to an operation mode.

The stored information may be utilized in various ways depending on the user's selection. That is, the display unit 150 may selectively display information selected by the user from activity analysis information, life record information, and sleep record information, and the communication unit 160 may selectively display information selected by the user from the above-described information. Can transmit

For example, when a display command is input through the input unit 110, the controller 130 may display the above-described activity amount analysis information, life record information, sleep record information, and the like through the display unit 150.

Alternatively, when a transmission command is input through the input unit 110, the controller 130 may control the communication unit 160 to transmit the above-described information to an external device.

At least one of the display operation and the transmission operation may be automatically performed without a user command. That is, when a preset cycle arrives, or when there is a request from the external device 200, when information measuring and storing operations are completed, and when a turn-off command for the activity measuring device 100 is input, such as various cases. The controller 130 may control the display unit 150 or the communication unit 160 to perform display or data transmission.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-described operation mode switching may be automatically performed by the activity measuring apparatus 100 based on time information. For example, when the user sets the sleep time between AM 12:00 and AM 08:00, when the 12:00 AM arrives, the controller 130 automatically switches to the sleep mode, and when the AM 08:00 hour arrives. You can switch to normal mode automatically.

In FIG. 2, the configuration of the activity measuring device 100 capable of displaying and transmitting the data is shown. However, the information about the user may be stored and managed in the activity measuring device 100. In this embodiment, the activity measuring device 100 may be implemented in a form including a sensor unit 120, a storage unit 140 and the controller 130.

When the sensor unit 120 senses the movement of the user wearing the activity measuring device, the controller 130 analyzes the sensed movement to determine the steady state section and the abnormal state section, and generates life record information according to the determination result. do. The generated life record information is stored in the storage 140. The user may read and use the life record information stored in the activity measuring device by connecting a USB memory, a memory card, a connector, etc. to the activity measuring device whenever necessary.

In addition, the activity measuring device 100 may be directly connected to a device such as a printer, so as to directly print the activity analysis device, life record information, sleep record information and the like. In this case, the controller 130 may execute a printer driver and transmit information to the printer using various wired or wireless protocols.

3 is a diagram illustrating a screen configuration of the activity measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to FIG. 3, activity amount analysis information is displayed on the screen 10. In FIG. 3, only the exercise time, calories burned, and the state are illustrated as the activity analysis information. In addition, various types of information may be displayed.

In FIG. 3, the state means a current exercise state. The activity amount measuring apparatus 100 may determine whether it is in a walking state, a jogging state, a sprint state, a rest state, or the like by using the size and the generation period of the activity amount.

Although FIG. 3 illustrates a screen showing a measurement result, when the activity measuring apparatus 100 is turned on, a selection screen for selecting an operation mode is displayed. The user may select one of the general mode, the exercise mode, and the operation mode on the selection screen. In addition, an operation mode such as a power saving mode using a minimum of a sensor and a silent mode that does not output an acoustic alarm may be added.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method of an activity processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to FIG. 4, the user may input information about himself / herself into the activity measuring apparatus 100 (S410). The input user information is stored in the activity measuring apparatus 100. The activity measuring apparatus 100 may display a UI screen for inputting user information. The UI screen may be implemented as a touch screen or may be a form in which information is input by a button manipulation provided on the main body of the activity measuring apparatus 100.

When the user's movement is sensed in this state (S420), the activity analysis information is generated based on the sensed movement and the user information, and the generated information is stored (S430). The stored information may be cumulatively managed for each user. That is, the activity amount and calories burned may be recorded on a daily or hourly basis by tapping various IDs such as a user name included in the user information.

In this state, when an event to be transmitted to the outside occurs (S440), it transmits to the outside (S450). The event to be transmitted to the outside may include various events, such as an event in which the user selects a transmission button, an event in which a preset transmission period arrives, or an event in which the amount of activity drops rapidly after the user ends the exercise.

In addition, when an event to display the stored information occurs (S460), the activity processing unit 100 may display the activity analysis information through its display screen (S470).

The event to display the information may be an event in which the user selects a display button, an event in which a preset display cycle arrives, or an event in which the activity is rapidly dropped after the user ends the exercise. In addition, even if it is determined to continuously display the activity analysis information during each exercise (S470).

5 is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method of an activity analysis device according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to FIG. 5, in a state in which user information is input and stored (S510), the user may select an operation mode. Accordingly, the activity analysis device may check the selected operation mode and perform an operation corresponding to the operation mode.

First, when the exercise mode is selected (S520), the activity analysis device may sense the user's movement (S525), generate and store the activity analysis information (S530). As described above, the activity analysis information may include various information.

On the other hand, when the normal mode is selected (S535), the activity analysis device senses the user's movement (S540), and analyzes the sensed movement to determine whether it is the steady state section or the abnormal state section (S545), the determination Based on the result, the life record information is generated and stored (S550).

On the other hand, when the sleep mode is selected (S555), the user's sleep state is sensed (S560). Sleep state sensing includes sensing not only a user's movement, such as a user's inversion, but also a sound signal such as a breath, a snoring sound, a sleep stalk, and the like.

Accordingly, it is determined whether the user is in a deep sleep state or awake state (S565). Then, the sleep record information is generated and stored according to the determination result (S570).

As described above, various information such as activity analysis information, life record information, sleep record information, and the like may be generated and stored according to various operation modes.

The stored information can be used in a variety of ways.

That is, when an event to be displayed occurs (S575), the display is performed (S580). On the other hand, when an event to be transmitted to the outside occurs (S585), it transmits to an external device (S590).

Although the order of the display operation and the transmission operation is arbitrarily determined in FIGS. 4 and 5, the order of these operations may be changed.

In addition, although the exemplary embodiments in which the exercise mode, the normal mode, and the sleep mode are all supported have been described in FIG. 5, some of the modes may be omitted.
