Referring to FIG. 1, the collaborative diet service of the present invention is a service that helps to sustain a diet intention and provides an exercise program suitable for an individual. The system for providing such a collaborative diet service includes a collaborative diet service provision server 100 and a plurality of user terminals 200.

Users who want to use the collaboration dieting service install an application (hereinafter referred to as a dieting app) for providing a collaboration dieting service to the user terminal 200 provided in the user terminal 200, Hereinafter referred to as a server) to be provided with a service.

The server 100 is connected to a plurality of user terminals 200 through a wired / wireless network and transmits / receives various data. Here, the wired / wireless network is the internet. And may include various data communication networks including a 3G (Generation), 4G (Generation) mobile communication network, a Wi-Fi, a Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet), or LTE (Long Term Evolution) It does not matter what communication method is used.

The user terminal 200 includes memory means such as a personal computer (PC), a smart phone, a tablet PC, a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a web pad, And a terminal equipped with a mobile communication function equipped with an arithmetic capability, and various services can be used by installing various applications.

The server 100 matches a plurality of users registered as a member of the collaboration dieting service to a specific group so as to have members within a certain number of persons, allocates a common goal for each group, and continuously manages whether or not to perform the same.

Specifically, the server 100 compares the group information of the existing group currently being constructed and operated on the basis of the personal information such as the exercise area, the age, the preferred kind of exercise, etc. of the user who wants to use the service, After selecting any one of the groups, the user can be added as a group member. If there is no group of group information whose degree of similarity to the user's personal information is equal to or greater than the reference value, a new group having the user as a member can be created.

In some cases, in the case of a charged user, the user may be configured to directly select an arbitrary group from the existing groups and enter the member.

The common goal is interlocked with the individual goals of the group members belonging to the group so that the achievement rate for the individual goals of each group member is reflected in the achievement rate of the group as a whole. In this case, the achievement rate of the group's common goal reflects the indicators such as achievement rate, progress speed, difficulty, duration of continuous exercise without omission, and individual group achievement rate of each group member, . ≪ / RTI >

The server 100 may determine a group ranking for all groups based on a common goal achievement rate per group. The group ranking may be disclosed to all service users, and the server 100 may provide a reward for the group or individual members based on the group ranking and the ranking increasing rate. These rewards can include various on-off benefits such as providing offline lessons, providing online video tutorials, discounting memberships, and providing a collection of badges.

Meanwhile, the server 100 receives a motion image or an image from the users, and can measure the posture accuracy of the user using the received image or image. The attitude accuracy can be reflected in the achievement rate of individual users, and can be used as a basis for determining whether or not the user's exercise attitude is accurate by providing the information to the user as numerical information.

FIG. 2 shows a detailed configuration of a collaboration dieting service providing server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server 100 includes a member management unit 110, a group management unit 120, an exercise program management unit 130, and a posture measurement unit 140.

The member management unit 110 manages the personal information that is additionally input at the time of registering the user or thereafter and matches the group suitable for the user using the personal information. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), such personal information may include information such as a user's address, sex, age, and preferred exercise, as well as information such as a user's key, weight, target weight,

In addition, the member management unit 110 may provide a setting menu to allow a user to determine a weight for each item of the personal information in group matching of the user. In this case, the user can adjust the group to be selected in a desired tendency by placing a larger weight on the item to which the user is more important. At this time, the member management unit 110 may be configured to provide the weight setting function only for a paying user.

Also, instead of directly selecting a group to be matched with the user, the member management unit 110 may create a new group with the acquaintances selected by the user and match the corresponding user. FIG. 4B shows an example of a menu provided so that the user can select a group matching method. In this case, the member management unit 110 may be configured to determine whether to provide the menu based on whether the user is a paid member.

The information of the matched group and its member information can be confirmed by the user terminal 200 through the diet app as shown in FIG. 4 (c).

The group management unit 120 manages the achievement rate for the common goal assigned to the group matched to the user. The assignment of the common goal to the group is performed by the exercise program management unit 130, which will be described later. The achievement rate management can be performed for a set period. FIG. 4 (d) shows an example of a menu provided so as to confirm the achievement rate of the group common goal and the individual target achievement rate of each member. In addition, the group management unit 120 determines a group ranking for all groups based on the achievement rate of the common goal of the group.

In addition, the group management unit 120 may provide a reward to the group members based on the group ranking or the common goal achievement rate of the group. In this case, the individual achievement rate of each member of the group may be additionally reflected.

The exercise program management unit 130 sets individual exercise goals for the user. At this time, the user's individual goal can be set by combining a plurality of exercise items necessary for the user referring to the user's body type, average exercise amount, current fitness level, and the like. In addition, the exercise program management unit 130 sets a common goal common to all the group members for the group matched by the user.

The posture measuring unit 140 receives the motion image or the image of the user transmitted from the user terminal 200 and motion captures the posture image of the user and calculates the posture accuracy of the user based on the motion capture. Specifically, the posture measuring unit 140 selects a reference posture image corresponding to the user's body type from the reference posture images prepared for each body type, compares the selected reference posture image with the posture image of the motion-captured user, And the posture accuracy is calculated. For example, the posture measuring unit 140 can compute the posture accuracy by comparing the angles of the body parts on the reference posture image with the angles of the body parts on the motion captured posture image, digitizing the angle differences, and integrating them. The attitude accuracy of the user thus obtained can be reflected in the calculation of the common goal achievement rate of the group to which the user belongs.

FIG. 3 shows an operation flow chart illustrating a process of providing a collaboration diet service through the server 100 having the above-described configuration.

As shown in FIG. 3, the server 100 receives the user's personal information together with the membership request from the user terminal 200 connected through the wired / wireless network, and registers it in the DB (S10).

Thereafter, the server 100 matches the group suitable for the user based on the personal information of the registered user (S20). Such personal information may include information such as a user's key, weight, sex, age, etc., and information such as target weight, target period, address, and preferred exercise.

Thereafter, the server 100 assigns a common goal to the matching group to the corresponding user (S30). The common goal may partially reflect the individual conditions of the members belonging to the group, and is commonly assigned to all the members.

Each member of the group must perform an individual goal assigned to each of them and missions included in the common goal to achieve a shared goal assigned to the group. The group ranking is determined according to the achievement rate of each individual target and the achievement rate of the common goal. In some cases, any member of the group or a member with specific rights may be denied or excluded from the group by neglecting to perform the common goal or implying or handicapping members who are not achieving the same goal.

Meanwhile, each member can transmit his or her motion image or image to the server 100. The server 100 generates an orientation image for the user by motion-capturing the received motion image or image, and measures the posture accuracy of the user based on the generated orientation image (S40). The measured posture accuracy can be reflected in the ranking calculation of the group to which the user belongs.

Then, the server 100 calculates the group ranking of the entire group by reflecting the common goal achievement rate of the group and the posture accuracy of each member (S50).

In addition, the server 100 may provide a reward to the group members based on the group ranking or the common goal achievement rate of the group (S60).

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventive concept as defined by the appended claims. But is not limited thereto.
