The processor 140 may control the overall operation of the display device 100 using various programs stored in the memory 150. [ Particularly, when the user breathing is input through the suction unit 110, the processor 140 determines respiratory movement corresponding to the user breath during the spirometric breathing exercise, the deep breathing exercise, and the cough breathing exercise, Obtains the motion state information for the respiration motion determined based on the sensing data, and controls the output unit 130 to output the obtained motion state information.

When the user breath is input through the suction unit 110, the processor 140 may perform preprocessing of the sensing data for the user breath acquired by the sensor 120. [ Specifically, the processor 140 may remove the data of the unnecessary interval in order to determine the type of respiratory motion, so as to obtain only the data of the interval necessary for determining the type of breathing motion.

The processor 140 may determine one of a plurality of breathing exercises based on the atmospheric pressure change of the user breath determined based on the sensing data. Specifically, a plurality of respiratory motions each have a different atmospheric pressure change pattern. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 6A, the spirometric breathing motion has an air pressure change pattern in which the intake air pressure increases and then slowly decreases. The cough respiration may have an atmospheric pressure change pattern that increases rapidly and then decreases rapidly as shown in FIG. 6C. The processor 140 determines the atmospheric pressure variation pattern that is most similar to the atmospheric pressure change of the user breath determined based on the sensing data among the atmospheric pressure variation patterns shown in Figs. 6A to 6C, Respiratory movement corresponding to respiration can be determined.

However, as described above, it is only one embodiment to determine one of the plurality of breathing exercises using the change in the atmospheric pressure of the user breath, and the respiratory movement corresponding to the user breathing can be determined by various methods. For example, the processor 140 may determine a breathing motion corresponding to a user breath based on a user command input through the input unit 180, and may perform a breathing exercise (e.g., a spirometric breathing exercise) Exercise, and the most recently used breathing exercise can be determined as the breathing exercise corresponding to the user breathing.

The processor 140 may obtain motion state information using sensing data for user breathing. At this time, the exercise condition information may include respiratory maximum / minimum pressure, duration of respiration, respiratory motion score, number of breathing exercises, and the like.

6A, when the breathing motion corresponding to the user breathing is a spirometric breathing exercise, the processor 140 uses the sensing data 610 for user breathing to calculate the breathing maximum pressure Pa1 and respiration It is possible to obtain the duration time T1. The processor 140 also calculates the breathing maximum pressure Pa2 obtained through the comparison data 620 together with the breathing maximum pressure Pa1 and the breathing duration T1 obtained through the sensing data 610 for the user breath, And respiration duration (T2) may be used to obtain respiratory motion scores. For example, the processor 140 may determine the ratio of the breathing maximum pressure Pa1 obtained through the sensing data 610 and the breathing maximum pressure Pa2 obtained through the comparison data 620 and the ratio of the breathing maximum pressure Pa2 obtained through the sensing data 610 The breathing exercise score can be obtained by using the ratio of the breathing duration T1 and the breathing duration T2 obtained through the comparison data 620. [

6B, when the breathing motion corresponding to the user breathing is a deep breathing exercise, the processor 140 sets the breathing maximum / minimum air pressures Pa3 and Pa4 using the sensing data 630 on the user breathing, And the breath / intake duration T3, T5. In addition, the processor 140 may compare the breath data with the respiratory maximum / minimum air pressures Pa3 and Pa4 obtained through the sensing data 630 for the user breath and the expiratory / inspiratory durations T3 and T5 via the comparison data 640 The respiration exercise score can be obtained using the obtained maximum respiration / minimum air pressures (Pa5, Pa6) and expiratory / inspiratory duration (T4, T6). For example, the ratio of the breathing maximum air pressure Pa3 obtained through the processor 140 sensing data 630 to the breathing maximum air pressure Pa5 obtained through the comparison data 640, the respiration maximum air pressure Pa5 obtained through the sensing data 630, The ratio of the minimum air pressure Pa4 and the breathing minimum air pressure Pa6 obtained through the comparison data 640, the breath duration T3 obtained through the sensing data 630, The breathing exercise score is obtained using the ratio of the duration time T4 and the ratio of the intake duration time T5 obtained through the sensing data 630 and the intake duration time T6 obtained through the comparison data 640 .

When the respiration movement corresponding to the user breath is a cough respiration movement, the processor 140 uses the sensing data 650 for the user breath as shown in FIG. 6C to set the breath minimum breath pressure Pa7 and breath duration It is possible to obtain the time T7. The processor 140 also calculates the respiratory minimum pressure Pa8 obtained through the comparison data 660 together with the respiratory minimum pressure Pa7 and the respiration duration T7 obtained through the sensing data 650 for the user breath, And breath duration (T8) can be used to obtain breathing exercise scores. For example, the ratio of the breathing maximum air pressure P7 obtained through the processor 140 sensing data 650 to the breathing maximum air pressure P8 obtained through the comparison data 660 and the respiration maximum air pressure P8 obtained through the sensing data 650, The breathing exercise score can be obtained by using the ratio of the duration time T7 and the breathing duration time T8 acquired through the comparison data 660. [

In addition, the processor 140 may obtain information on the number of daily respiratory movements. Specifically, each of the plurality of breathing exercises can be assigned the number of times of exercise assigned. The processor 140 may obtain a breathing exercise score based on the number of exercises assigned and the number of exercises performed. For example, if the spirometric breathing exercise is assigned 10 times per day and the user performs 3 times the spirometric breathing exercise, the processor 140 may obtain a breathing exercise score of 3/10 = 0.3. In addition, the processor 140 may acquire a breathing exercise score using all of the breathing maximum / minimum pressure, respiration duration, and exercise frequency.

The processor 140 may control the output unit 130 to output the obtained motion state information. At this time, the motion state information can be provided in various forms.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor 140 may provide information about user breathing and information about comparison data together in a graphical form, as shown in Figures 6A-6C. At this time, the user can directly confirm his recovery speed by comparing with the comparison data measured before the operation.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor 140 may provide motion state information in various types of UIs. For example, if the breathing movement corresponding to the user breathing is a spirometric breathing exercise, the processor 140 may provide a ball UI and provide movement of the ball UI according to user breathing. That is, the ball existing in the existing spirometer is digitized and provided to the user, so that the user can more intuitively confirm his / her spirometric state.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor 140 can numerically provide exercise state information using the acquired respiratory motion scores, as described above. In other words, the user can confirm his or her lung health recovery status through numerical values.

In addition, the processor 140 may provide motion state information through auditory, tactile feedback.

The processor 140 may control the communication unit 160 to transmit the acquired motion state information or sensing data to the external portable terminal 200 or the server 300. [ At this time, the processor 140 may control the communication unit 160 to transmit various information such as user information, respiratory movement type information, and the like, in addition to the user's breathing state information.

In particular, the processor 140 may control the communication unit 160 to transmit to the server 300 whenever the user's breathing state information is measured. Alternatively, if the respiration motion score is less than a predetermined value, the processor 140 may control the communication unit 160 to transmit the motion state information of the user breath to the server 300. [
