1B is a block diagram of an exercise management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. From now on, each of the components of the exercise management system will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 5 .

2A is a block diagram of an exercise device 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2A , the exercise equipment 101 includes a display unit 201 , an LED light 203 , an exercise state selection button 205 , a speaker 207 , and an RFID reader 209 .

The RFID reader 209 detects user information from the RFID card. The display unit 201 displays the current time and the current amount of exercise (eg, exercise equipment use time or the number of rotations of the exercise equipment, etc.). The LED light 203 indicates whether the exercise equipment is available or not. For example, when the LED light 203 flashes green, it may indicate that the exercise equipment is available. The exercise state selection button 205 includes an exercise start button and an exercise end button.

The speaker 207 outputs various voice messages according to the state of the exercise equipment 101 . For example, when user authentication is confirmed, the speaker 207 may output an authentication success voice message. As another example, after user authentication, the speaker 207 may output an exercise start voice message. For example, the exercise start voice message may be 'start exercise'. As another example, when the exercise stop button is pressed by the user, the speaker 207 may output an exercise end voice message. For example, the exercise end voice message may be 'exercise ends'. After that, the exercise equipment device 101 may automatically stop the exercise equipment device 101 .

As another example, when there is no input for exercise or when the exercise stop time exceeds a predetermined time during exercise, the speaker 207 outputs an exercise end notification voice message. After that, the exercise equipment device 101 may automatically stop the exercise equipment device 101 .

For example, the exercise end notification voice message may be 'If you do not resume the exercise, it will end'. As another example, when the exercise time specified for the user has exceeded, the speaker 207 may output an exercise excess notification voice message. For example, the exercise overtime notification voice message may be 'workout timed out'. After that, the exercise equipment device 101 may automatically stop the exercise equipment device 101 .

Figure 2b is a block diagram of the exercise equipment 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2B , the exercise equipment 101 includes an exercise equipment controller 211 , a memory 213 , a wired communication unit 215 , an RFID reader unit 217 , a sensor unit 219 , and an audio output unit 221 . ) is included.

Looking at each component, the memory 213 stores various programs and data necessary for the operation of the exercise equipment 101 . For example, the memory 213 may be implemented as a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, a flash-memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD).

The wired communication unit 215 performs communication with various types of external devices according to various types of communication methods. For example, the wired communication unit 215 may perform wired communication according to various communication standards such as a LAN or USB port, RS-232C, RS-422, or RS-485. For example, the wired communication unit 215 may transmit a user authentication request message or exercise equipment data to the authentication terminal 111 .

The RFID reader unit 217 provides an RFID communication function. For example, when the user's RFID card is recognized, the RFID reader unit 217 may receive user information stored in the exercise management server 103 through the network 107 via the authentication terminal 111 .

The voice output unit 221 provides an authentication voice comment for user authentication of the exercise equipment in the exercise equipment device 101 or provides an exercise start statement, an exercise type comment, and the like. For example, the voice output unit 221 may say "RFID card is authenticated." or "Start exercise" or "Workout has ended" or "Workout timed out." Alternatively, you can provide a message such as "If you don't resume the exercise, it will end".

The sensor unit 219 may include a motion recognition sensor and a proximity sensor. For example, the motion recognition sensor may include a geomagnetic sensor and an acceleration sensor. For example, the geomagnetic sensor may transmit the input of the geomagnetic signal to the exercise equipment control unit 211 . Geomagnetism is the magnetism possessed by the earth, and it is not constant but changes periodically or irregularly. In order to determine the earth's magnetic field at a certain point, three independent components are required, and the horizontal component, azimuth, and dip belong to them. The determination of the earth's magnetic field by the geomagnetic sensor is made using an X-axis (horizontal) sensor, a Y-axis (horizontal) sensor, and a Z-axis sensor. That is, the horizontal sensor and the vertical sensor detect the left and right directions of the exercise equipment, and the Z-axis sensor senses the up and down directions of the exercise equipment, thereby measuring the movement direction of the exercise equipment.

For example, the acceleration sensor is a sensor that measures a physical quantity called a change in speed, and can directly sense a change in dynamic vibration (acceleration) of an exercise device. A typical example is a piezoelectric acceleration sensor. The silicon structure of the sensor changes according to the acceleration change due to the movement of a moving body, and the change in the silicon structure generates electric charges in the silicon. The electric charge generated in silicon changes the capacitance of the sensor. As a principle of converting the amount of capacitance change into a voltage value corresponding thereto, a change in the speed of one axis of the exercise device can be detected.

For example, a proximity sensor may detect the presence of an object positioned around an exercise device without physical contact. Proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or electromagnetic wave (eg infrared), looking for the electric field and the return signal. Any object that is sensitive is considered the target of the proximity sensor.

On the other hand, the exercise equipment device 101 may additionally include another configuration according to the user authentication processing function. For example, when a fingerprint recognition function is provided, the exercise equipment device 101 may include a fingerprint reader (not shown). As another example, when the face recognition function is provided, the exercise equipment 101 may include a display unit (not shown).

The exercise equipment control unit 211 controls the overall operation of the exercise equipment apparatus 101 using various programs stored in the memory 213 .

For example, the exercise equipment control unit 211 processes user authentication by integrating with the authentication terminal 111 and the exercise management server 103 . For example, the exercise equipment control unit 211 receives user information from the RFID card through the RFID reader unit 217, and a user including the received user information and user information and a product ID (ID) of the corresponding exercise equipment. You can create an authentication request message. In addition, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may transmit the user authentication request message generated through the wired communication unit 215 to the exercise management server 103 via the authentication terminal 111 . For example, the user information is information that can identify the user, and may be one of an identification number, a resident registration number, a driver's license number, or a mobile phone number given by the exercise management server 103 .

Thereafter, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may receive an authentication failure notification message or an authentication success notification message from the exercise management server 103 through the authentication terminal 111 through the wired communication unit 215 . If the authentication failure notification message is received, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may output an authentication failure notification voice message through the voice output unit 221 . Alternatively, when the authentication success notification voice message is received, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may output an authentication success notification voice message through the voice output unit 221 .

For example, the voice output unit 221 may say "RFID card is authenticated." or "Start exercise" or "Workout has ended" or "Workout timed out." Alternatively, you can provide a message such as "If you don't resume the workout, it will end".

For example, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may detect the movement of the exercise equipment by the user through the sensor unit 219 to generate sensor data, and calculate the amount of exercise of the exercise equipment using the generated sensor data. .

In this case, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine whether the user's exercise is a fraudulent act by using the sensor data.

For example, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may register a unique number (eg, product ID) in the exercise equipment unit 101 and recognize the user. In addition, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may check the unique number and start time of the exercise equipment currently being used by the user, and calculate the movement time of the user using the confirmed start time and the end time of the previous exercise equipment. In addition, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may detect illegal use by checking whether the user can move the separation distance between the previously used exercise equipment and the currently used exercise equipment within the calculated movement time. For example, when information (eg, user information) is input from an exercise equipment that is more than a certain distance away from the exercise equipment for which the exercise data is detected, the exercise equipment control unit 211 checks whether the movement is a distance within the movement time. You may decide to use it illegally. As another example, when double user authentication occurs in the same time zone or a plurality of exercise data for the same user are simultaneously detected in a plurality of exercise equipment devices, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that it is illegal use. As another example, when the exercise equipment control unit 211 arbitrarily detects the input of exercise information for a past time to the exercise equipment unit 101, it may be determined that the illegal use.

As another example, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may detect a movement position such as rotation and position movement of the exercise equipment using various sensors mounted on the exercise equipment, and detect illegal use using the detected movement position. . For example, when exercise data exceeding an exercise amount exercised by a general elderly person is detected in the exercise equipment apparatus 101 , the exercise equipment controller 211 may determine that the exercise equipment is illegally used. As another example, the exercise equipment controller 211 may determine that the exercise equipment 101 is illegal use when exercise data exceeding a possible exercise speed for the general elderly is detected.

The rotation direction change speed and rotation distance can be detected. If the rotational direction switching speed is less than the preset reference rotational direction switching speed or the rotational distance is less than the preset reference rotational movement distance, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's movement is cheating.

If the left and right sensor detection time is less than the predetermined reference left and right sensor detection time or the boarding weight is less than the reference weight, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's exercise is a fraudulent act. For example, the reference left and right sensor detection time may represent the left and right sensor detection time during normal operation of the corresponding exercise device.

As another example, when the exercise equipment is a vertical movement movement such as a lifting mechanism, the exercise equipment control unit 211 uses the sensor data sensed by at least one sensor installed in the vertical movement mechanism to determine the vertical sensor detection time and the central axis Rotation time can be detected. If the upper and lower sensor detection time is less than the predetermined reference upper and lower sensor detection time or the central axis rotation time is less than the preset reference central axis rotation time, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's exercise is cheating. For example, the reference upper and lower sensor detection time may represent the upper and lower sensor detection time during normal operation of the corresponding exercise device. And the reference central axis rotation time may represent the central axis rotation time during normal operation of the corresponding exercise device.

For example, when the exercise equipment is a rotational exercise equipment such as an arm turning equipment or a bicycle riding equipment, the exercise equipment control unit 211 uses the sensor data sensed by at least one sensor installed on the rotating handle of the rotational exercise equipment. The rotation direction change speed and rotation distance can be detected. If the rotational direction switching speed is less than the preset reference rotational direction switching speed or the rotational distance is less than the predetermined reference rotational movement distance, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's movement is cheating.

As another example, when the exercise equipment is a forward and backward movement mechanism such as an aerial walking mechanism or popliteal extension, the exercise equipment control unit 211 moves forward and backward using sensor data detected by at least one sensor installed in the forward and backward movement mechanism. It is possible to detect the rotation time of the central axis of the instrument and the riding weight. If the central axis rotation time is less than a predetermined reference central axis rotation time or the boarding weight is less than a predetermined reference weight, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's exercise is cheating.

As another example, if the exercise equipment is a left-right movement mechanism such as a surf equipment, the exercise equipment device control unit 211 uses the sensor data of the left and right sensors for detecting the left-right movement height installed in the left-right movement mechanism, the left and right sensor detection time and The riding weight can be detected. If the left and right sensor detection time is less than the predetermined reference left and right sensor detection time or the boarding weight is less than the reference weight, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's exercise is a fraudulent act.

As another example, when the exercise equipment is a vertical movement movement such as a lifting mechanism, the exercise equipment control unit 211 uses sensor data sensed by at least one sensor installed in the vertical movement mechanism to determine the vertical sensor detection time and central axis Rotation time can be detected. If the upper and lower sensor detection time is less than the preset reference upper and lower sensor detection time or the central axis rotation time is less than the preset reference central axis rotation time, the exercise equipment control unit 211 may determine that the user's exercise is cheating.

As a result of the check, if it is determined that the user's exercise is cheating, the exercise equipment control unit 211 lights the LED lamp 203 installed in the corresponding exercise device in red or yellow to warn the user of the cheating. And the exercise equipment control unit 211 deletes the exercise amount data of the corresponding exercise equipment stored in the memory (213).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the user's exercise is normal, the exercise equipment control unit 211 lights the LED lamp 203 installed in the corresponding exercise equipment in green.

In step 613 , the exercise equipment control unit 211 generates exercise equipment data including the calculated exercise amount of the exercise equipment, user information, and product ID of the corresponding exercise equipment, and the exercise equipment data generated through the wired communication unit 215 . is transmitted to the authentication terminal 111 .

In step 615, the authentication terminal control unit 321 receives the exercise equipment data from the at least one exercise equipment device 101 through the second wired communication unit 335, and transmits the received exercise equipment data to the wireless communication unit 329 or the second It is transmitted to the exercise management server 103 through the network 107 via the one wired communication unit 333 .

At this time, when the exercise equipment data is received from the plurality of exercise equipment devices 101 , the authentication terminal control unit 321 transmits the received exercise equipment data to the exercise management server 103 through the network 107 .

In step 617 , the control unit 401 of the exercise management server 103 receives the exercise equipment data from the communication unit 405 authentication terminal 101 . And the control unit 401 calculates the use time of the aerobic exercise equipment used by the user and the number of times of use of the strength exercise equipment based on the amount of exercise included in the received exercise equipment data.

In step 619, the controller 401 compares the calculated use time of the aerobic exercise equipment and the number of times of use of the strength exercise equipment, and the recommended time of the aerobic exercise recommending equipment and the recommended number of times of the strength exercise recommending equipment recommended to the user.

As a result of the comparison, if the calculated time of use of the aerobic exercise equipment and the number of times of use of the strength training equipment are the same as the recommended time of the aerobic exercise recommendation device and the recommended number of times of the strength exercise recommendation device, the control unit 401 proceeds to step 621, otherwise Otherwise, proceed to step 623.

In step 621 , the controller 401 adds up the maximum accumulated points preset to the user's exercise points stored in the database 403 , and then stores it.

In step 623 , the control unit 401 adds up the predetermined minimum accumulated points to the user's exercise points stored in the database 403 , and then stores it.

In step 625 , the controller 501 of the portable terminal 105 checks whether the user requests deactivation of the exercise application.

As a result of the check, if deactivation of the exercise application is requested, the controller 501 proceeds to step 627 , otherwise, it repeatedly performs step 625 .

In step 627, the controller 501 ends the exercise application.
