For example, the animation control unit 140 may integrate the user and the game character by matching the reciprocating cycle in which the user's right foot reciprocates and the reproduction cycle in which the right foot of the game character animation is reciprocating.

Thereafter, the animation control unit 140 can correct the game character animation by using an interpolation technique for correcting the feeling that the game character animation is cut off when selecting and changing each game character animation. Since such an interpolation technique has already been widely used, it will not be described here.

The animation control unit 140 selects a game character animation corresponding to a range of the axis of the motion trajectory calculated by the trajectory calculation unit 120 among a plurality of animations of the game character. For example, the animation control unit 140 may include at least one of stop, walk, jump, walk, first run, second run, third run, fourth run, fifth run, stair climb and jump animation The game character animation corresponding to the axis range of the motion trajectory calculated by the trajectory calculating unit 120 among the plural animations of the included game character can be selected. At this time, the animation control unit 140 determines the axis range of the calculated motion trajectory as a range of the axis of the motion trajectory according to the user type according to the user information including at least one of the user's height, sex, race and age, It is possible to select the game character animation corresponding to the axis range of the motion trajectory for each type.

Then, the animation playback unit 130 plays back the game character animation selected by the animation control unit 140. [ At this time, the animation control unit 140 controls the speed of the game character animation played in the animation playback unit 130 according to the reciprocating period or the linear velocity with respect to the range of the axis of the motion locus calculated by the locus calculating unit 120. For example, the animation control unit 140 may integrate the user and the game character by matching the reciprocating cycle of the axis range of the user's right foot to the reciprocating motion and the cycle of the right foot of the game character animation.

Thereafter, the animation control unit 140 can correct the game character animation by using an interpolation technique for correcting the feeling that the game character animation is cut off when selecting and changing each game character animation.

However, in this embodiment, in order to explain the function of feedback control of various conditions of the virtual reality to the exercise load, Will be referred to as a virtual reality feedback control device for convenience. However, since the virtual reality feedback control device can perform the function of controlling the animation of the game character as in the above-described embodiment, it is also possible to use a mixture of names with the animation control device, Function, it is possible to use a mixture of names with the virtual reality feedback control device.

That is, a virtual reality feedback control apparatus using a free-orbit motion mechanism capable of experiencing a virtual reality according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 12 includes a motion measurement unit 110, a locus calculation unit 120, An animation control unit 140, a data storage unit 150, a load calculation unit 170, and a load generation unit 800.

As shown in the figure, the virtual reality feedback control apparatus interworks with the exercise management server 10 and the game management server 20 through a communication network to control various kinds of data And controls the user's movement and various information. In addition, various conditions of the virtual reality generated while playing the game can be fed back by the user through the fitness apparatus. However, the motion management server 10 and the game management server 20 associated with the virtual reality feedback control device may be all or partly physically in the same hardware, or all may be in different hardware.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation related to the game character animation control will not be described in detail, and a configuration in which the user can receive various conditions of the virtual reality and experience a virtual experience similar to the actual environment will be described in detail.

The data storage unit 150 stores information such as the body shape of the game character, the wear items, the inclination of the movement path of the virtual reality, and the predetermined load value according to the state of the movement path from the game management server or the game application.

[ That is, the body shape of the game character selected by the user, the kind of the item worn by the game character, the inclination and the state of the moving path of the virtual reality to which the game character moves, and the like are discriminated, Calculate the load to be able to do.

The load generating unit 800 generates a motion load by reflecting the load calculated by the load calculating unit 170 as a resistance value of the exercise device. Therefore, by generating characteristics such as the type of the character selected by the user and the path through which the character moves in the virtual reality as a load of the exercise apparatus, the user can feel the reality more while performing the game.

13 is a block diagram schematically showing a structure of a load generating unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

However, the load generating unit 800 may be a module that is included in the exercise device 101 or separately mountable to the exercise device 101 .

The load generator 800 includes a generator 801 having a stator and a rotor electromagnet and a generator controller 803 for controlling the amount of current applied to the generator 801. The generator control unit 803 may use an inverter or the like.

The stator and the rotor of the generator 801 are both made of electromagnets and connected between the end of the rope 103 and the right and left pulley parts 105 and 106 to generate a current or voltage proportional to the user's motion. The generator 801 adjusts the amount of current applied to the generator 801 by a current control means such as an inverter, thereby adjusting the amount of load generated in the exercise machine through the change in the strength of the magnetic field.

That is, the load calculated by the load calculation unit 170 is proportional to the value of the current applied to the stator or the rotor. For example, when the load calculated by the load calculation unit 170 is small, the magnetic field of the generator 801 is weakened by adjusting the amount of the current applied to the rotor or the stator of the generator 801 to be small, The transmitted motion becomes smaller. On the contrary, when the load calculated by the load calculation unit 170 is large, the amount of current applied to the rotor or the stator of the generator 801 is increased so that the magnetic field of the generator 801 is strengthened, Becoming athletic department becomes bigger.

In the case of a character, the power required by the user for moving the character may be different according to the size or nature of the character, and the load is set in consideration of the power. For example, if the character selected by the user is a wizard, the load is set to a relatively low value of '-1'. If a monster character is selected, the load is set to a relatively high value '+10' The loading amount is set to '+5', and when the fairy character is selected, the load amount is set to '-2' so that the input power required for the user to move the character according to the characteristic of the character selected by the user is not the same, So that the characteristics of the character can be reflected.

In addition, when a user wears an item on a character while a game is running, the load can be further added in consideration of this. For example, when the item is not worn, the load is set to '0' so that the load of the character is maintained, and when the item such as a knife, shoe, or shield is additionally worn, Respectively.

In addition, the load on the character can be added or subtracted in consideration of the type and inclination of the path on which the character moves. For example, if the path through which the character moves is a swamp and the slope is '+ 5 °', refer to the table to determine the load '+5' corresponding to the swamp and the load '-1' corresponding to the slope '+ 5 °' + 4 'is added to the exercise device as a whole.
