1 shows a schematic diagram of an activity provision system according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the activity providing system 1000 is a system that supports in-application activities and outdoor activities, and includes a server 101 and a plurality of user devices 110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4, … 100. -N) (N is a natural number of 2 or more).

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may be, for example, implemented as one physical (or logical) device (or entity), or may be divided into two or more physical (or logical) devices. It may also be implemented as a device (or entity). Here, the device (or entity) may mean a device that can be physically distinguished, or a device that can be logically distinguished (for example, a virtual machine or container). , those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limitation to the types. The server 101 may refer to specific hardware, but those skilled in the art will understand that it may also be implemented as a cloud server.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 performs hosting for at least one user (or for at least one user device (or may be referred to as a client) used by the user). You can. The server 101, for example, provides virtual space content to at least one user (or to at least one user device (110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4, ... 110-N) used by at least one user). can be provided. Virtual space content may include, for example, data for representing a virtual space and/or data for performing various activities (eg, mini games) within the virtual space, but is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art will understand that virtual space content may be replaced with, for example, augmented reality content, and/or mixed reality content. Accordingly, virtual reality content and/or augmented reality content may be provided to user devices (110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4,...110-N), and the server 101 may be a virtual reality service providing server and/or It may also be named an augmented reality service provision server.

According to one embodiment, the virtual space may include an avatar corresponding to the user. In addition, the virtual space may include avatars corresponding to other users and/or avatars corresponding to NPCs. In other words, the virtual space can provide functions that can be accessed by multiple users. For example, a first user can connect to the server 101 through user device #1 (110-1), and a second user can connect to the server 101 through user device #2 (110-2). there is. As multiple users access the virtual space, users can perform social interactions (e.g., avatar-based, but not limited) with other users within the virtual space. As will be described in more detail later, at least some of the user's interactions with other users may be in-application activities, and compensation may be provided accordingly. The causes of various existing mental illnesses and/or mental illnesses (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder, loneliness, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, delusional disorder, etc., but are not limited to) are caused by the social It can be severe in cases of isolation (e.g., no or limited interaction with other humans). Users may feel comfortable and secure as they conduct healthy social interactions with other users in a virtual space (e.g., avatar-based, but not limited), which may reduce and/or prevent the possibility of developing mental illness. there is. In addition, as will be described in more detail later, habits for good mental health in a virtual space can be formed according to the performance of reward-based activities. In addition, depending on interactions and/or rewards with other users within the virtual space, they may provide each other with motivation for good mental health. In addition, competition with other users within the virtual space (e.g. competition for rewards, competition for decoration of one's space, competition within mini-games within the application, user mental health indicators (e.g. level, or Based on competition for scores, etc. (no restrictions), habituation for good mental health may be accelerated. In this way, as applications for improving mental health status operate based on virtual space (or based on augmented reality space, and/or based on metaverse space) that allows simultaneous access by multiple users, mental health is improved compared to general applications. The condition may improve further.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may provide, for example, at least one content associated with at least one activity (can be named a stage, a mission, etc.) to the user device. For example, at least one activity may be set to provide content to be output based on user input received from the user device. As an example, when an input designating (e.g., touching) a specific character placed in a virtual space is received from the user device, the server 101 sends data for constructing information related to the specific character to the user device as content. It can be provided as . As an example, when an input designating (e.g., touching) a surrounding point of a specific character placed in virtual space is received from the user device, the server 101 configures an animation effect in which the specific character moves to the surrounding point. Data can be provided to the user device. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to user manipulation related to characters as in the above-mentioned examples, it is possible to provide content through manipulation of various objects related to virtual space. Content may include, for example, information for configuring at least one image that can be output from a user device, information for configuring a voice, information for configuring tactile feedback (e.g., vibration), and/or olfactory feedback. It may include information for configuring, and those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limitation on the type of information. The information for configuring at least one image is implemented in various ways, such as information for configuring at least one 2-dimensional image, information for configuring at least one 3-dimensional image, or information for configuring a virtual reality service. It can be done, and there are no restrictions on the implementation method.

According to one embodiment, data for representing a virtual space may be stored in the virtual content database 121. Game-related information for each user may be stored in the virtual content database 121. For example, game-related information may be various types of information related to the game, such as the location in virtual space of the character corresponding to the user, the application activity the character is in progress, and/or the score, and may be Those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limit to the information that can be stored. In addition, although items associated with the user and/or currency associated with the user are shown as being stored in the user database 122, this is optional and the items associated with the user and/or the currency associated with the user are stored in the virtual content. Those skilled in the art will understand that it may be stored in the database 121.

According to one embodiment, as described above, in response to manipulation of an object within the virtual space (e.g., but not limited to, a character within the virtual space, and/or a background object), content for the corresponding virtual space is generated. An activity that provides, for example, can be named an in-application activity. For example, according to direct or indirect manipulation of an object in a virtual space, an activity in which a function related to the object is executed and/or content related to the object is provided may be named an in-application activity. For example, an activity in which content for a persistent virtual space is provided based on manipulation of objects in the virtual space can be named an in-application activity. For example, an activity that provides content for a corresponding virtual space based on user input through at least one piece of hardware (e.g., a touch screen) in a user device set to manipulate objects in the virtual space. It can be named an in-application activity. For example, an activity performed based on a request based on a mental health application by a client and a response corresponding to a request by the server 101 may be named an in-application activity. Various standards for classification as in-application activities will be described later.

According to one embodiment, outdoor activities may be stored in the virtual content database 121. An outdoor activity may be an activity in which completion of the activity can be determined, for example, based on the physical movement of the user of the user device. For example, sensing data about user physical activity that is different from manipulation of objects within a virtual space (e.g., but not limited to pedometer measurement data), and/or changes based on user physical activity. An activity that can determine whether to complete the activity based on input associated with data (e.g., but not limited to location information of the user device) may be named, for example, an outdoor activity. For example, based on input associated with sensing data about the user's physical activity, and/or data that changes based on the user's physical activity, whether an activity has been completed is provided, but not immediately (e.g., in real time) based on the user's input. ) Activities for which content for virtual space is not provided can be named outdoor activities. In this case, while the outdoor activity is being performed, content for the virtual space may not be provided, or content for the virtual space designated in response to the outdoor activity (e.g., content independent from user input) may be provided. there is. However, this is an example, and outdoor activities may provide content for an immediate (eg, real-time) virtual space based on user input. For example, through at least one hardware within the user device (e.g., a pedometer and/or GPS module) to measure sensing data about the user's physical activity, and/or data that changes based on the user's physical activity. An activity that provides content for a corresponding virtual space based on user input may be named an outdoor activity. Alternatively, outdoor activities may not require user input. For example, the outdoor activity of “Meditation” is set to provide content (e.g., meditation music) for the virtual space set for the outdoor activity of “Meditation” and does not require separate user input. It may be possible. For example, an activity that is not performed based on a request based on a mental health application by a client and a response corresponding to a request by the server 101 may be named an outdoor activity. For example, based on the API, an activity performed based on data from an application other than a mental health application (eg, a physical health application) may be named an outdoor activity. Various standards for classification as outdoor activities will be described later.

According to one embodiment, the virtual content database 121 may store, for example, data on a map constituting a virtual space. A map is, for example, data to describe a space in which a character can move, for example, coordinate information to identify a plurality of points in a virtual space, an object placed in the virtual space (e.g., a background object) (but without limitation), and/or information associated with the object, but without limitation. Data for the map may be edited, for example objects may be deleted and/or added. For example, a map may include a map for a virtual space that is not owned by a particular user. For example, a map may include a map for a virtual space assigned to a particular user. In this case, the user may perform an operation to add an object (for example, purchasing an item and placing an item), and the server 101 may add the object to the map data in response. At least one character may visit the virtual space formed by the map, and in this case, the user device corresponding to the character includes the character and/or content for the virtual space to configure the virtual space in which the character is located. may be provided.

According to one embodiment, for example, data about in-application activities may be stored in the virtual content database 121. As described above, the in-app application activity may be, for example, an activity that provides content for the corresponding virtual space in response to manipulation of an object in the virtual space, but is not limited thereto. Various types of in-application activities will be described later.

According to one embodiment, for example, data about outdoor activities may be stored in the virtual content database 121. As described above, outdoor activities may include, for example, sensing data about the user's physical activity (e.g., pedometer measurement data, but without limitation), and/or data that changes based on the user's physical activity ( It may be, but is not limited to, an activity that can determine whether or not the activity is completed based on inputs associated with it (for example, but not limited to, location information of the user device). Various types of outdoor activities will be described later.

According to one embodiment, data related to item purchase may be stored in the virtual content database 121. For example, data on images, information, and/or functions of items that can be used (or placed) in the virtual space may be stored in the virtual content database 121. Information about the item may include the type and/or quantity of at least one good defined in the virtual space required to purchase the item. Meanwhile, when a purchased item is placed on a map of a specific virtual space, the corresponding information may be stored as map-related data and/or item purchase-related data.

According to one embodiment, data related to currency management may be stored in the virtual content database 121. The product management data may include a user allocation policy for at least one product (eg, coin, and/or heart). Types of goods may be classified, for example, depending on whether they can be purchased with real world goods (e.g., US dollars or KR won). For example, coins may be set to be purchasable with real-world goods, and hearts may be set not to be purchasable with real-world goods, but this is an example and is not limited. Types of goods may be classified, for example, depending on whether a specific item can be purchased. For example, it can be set to purchase the first type of item and the second type of item using hearts, and the first type of item can be purchased using coins, but the second type of item cannot be purchased. It can be, there is no limit. For example, as a goods allocation policy, the type and/or quantity of at least one good allocated in response to the selection of a specific activity may be set. In one example, the type of goods corresponding to an in-application activity may be different from the type of goods corresponding to an outdoor activity. In one example, the set of goods corresponding to an in-application activity may be different from the set of goods corresponding to an outdoor activity. In one example, information about the weight of goods allocation for each activity may also be set as a goods allocation policy. For example, when a specific activity is performed repeatedly, a weight corresponding to the number of repetitions may be set as the allocation policy for goods. In one example, for at least one first activity, an allocation policy may be set in which a higher weight is assigned as the number of repetitions increases. In one example, for at least one second activity, an allocation policy may be set in which a higher weight is assigned as the number of repetitions increases up to a threshold number, and a relatively lower weight is assigned when the number of repetitions exceeds the threshold number. there is. In one example, for at least one third activity, a higher weight is assigned as the number of repetitions increases up to a threshold number, and an inverse weight (e.g., a negative number) is assigned when the threshold number is exceeded. Policies can be set. In one example, for at least one fourth activity, a weight is not assigned even if the number of repetitions increases up to a threshold number, but when the threshold number is exceeded, an inverse weight (e.g., a negative number) is assigned. Allocation policies can be set. Meanwhile, there are no restrictions on the method of setting the weight set for each activity.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may manage user information. For example, the server 101 may store user-related data (e.g., user account-related data, user relationship-related data, user's item-related data, user preference (or, perform management operations (e.g., create, store, update, and/or delete) on data related to the user's currency and/or data related to the user's currency, the object of management and/or the type of management operation; Those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limitation. The server 101 may store user-related data in the user database 122. The server 101 may perform management operations (eg, update and/or delete) on at least some of the user-related data stored in the user database 122. The server 101 may generate user-related information for the new manager and store it in the user database 122. For example, based on the confirmation of the user's activity of purchasing the first item using the first type of goods in the first quantity, the user management server selects the first type of goods for the data about the user goods. A management operation of deducting the quantity may be performed, and a first item may be added to user item-related data.

According to one embodiment, mental health-related information for each user may be stored in the mental health information database 123. For example, mental health-related information, such as mental health status (which can be quantified, for example, mental health level, but there are no restrictions on the form of expression), activity performance logs (for example, the activity performed by the user), Information related to the type, performance date, number of performance, and/or performance time (but not limited to), and/or habituation (repeated performance) to a specific activity may be included, but there is no limitation.

According to one embodiment, sensing data of biological signals for each user may be stored in the sensing data database 124. For example, the user's biological signals may be sensed by a sensor included in the user device and/or a sensor connected to the user device through short-distance communication. Sensing data of biological signals may be provided from the user device to the server 101. The server 101 may store the user's biological signals in the sensing data database 124 for each user. Alternatively, according to another implementation, the server 101 may group and store the sensing data by the same age group as the user or by the user's gender. For example, if the user is a teenage male, the server 101 does not map and store the user identification information and sensing data, but maps and stores the sensing data to the teenage group, and/or stores the sensing data in the male group. Sensing data can also be mapped and stored.

Depending on the implementation, at least two of the databases 121, 122, 123, and 124 may be implemented as one physical (or logical) entity, or all of them may be implemented as different physical (or logical) entities. You will understand.

It can have any shape, but there are no restrictions on its shape and wearing area. The external sensor device 195 may be, for example, a wearable device for EEG sensing that can be worn on the user's head, or a hat-type wearable device. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that depending on implementation, the user device 110 may be implemented as various types of wearable devices such as the external sensor device 195 described above. Wearable devices for EEG sensing include, for example, not only EEG sensors for EEG sensors, but also various sensors that can measure other types of biosignals such as EMG sensors, EOG sensors, EDA sensors, ECG sensors, and PPG sensors. can do.

FIG. 3A shows a flowchart for explaining a method of operating a server according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 301. For example, a first user may use the user device 110 to perform a connection procedure associated with the first user's account on the server 101 . The first user may enter information associated with the first user's account (e.g., a first user identifier and/or a first user PIN) into user device 110. The user device 110 may transmit information related to the inputted first user's account to the server 101 . Server 101 may receive information associated with the first user's account. The server 101 may perform a connection procedure (also called a login procedure) based on information associated with the first user's account. For example, the server 101 may determine whether to allow access to the first user based on whether the received information associated with the first user's account matches the previously stored information associated with the first user's account. there is. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described access procedure based on information associated with the first user's account is merely illustrative and that there are no restrictions on the access procedure. For example, the server 101 may transmit data representing a virtual space corresponding to the first user to the user device 110 based on the first user's connection. The user device 110 may receive data for representing a virtual space and perform at least one operation for representing the virtual space using the data. At least one operation for expressing a virtual space includes, for example, an operation for providing visual content (display of an image), an operation for providing auditory content (outputting sound), and an operation for providing tactile content. (e.g., output of vibration), an operation for providing olfactory content (e.g., an operation for producing a specified odor), and/or an operation for providing gustatory content (e.g., an operation for producing a specified taste). A person skilled in the art will understand that this may include an operation for creation) and that there is no limitation.

According to one embodiment, in operation 303, the server 101 may confirm the selection and/or performance of one of at least one activity selectable in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. For example, the user may operate the user device 110 to select one of at least one activity. For example, the user device 110 may provide a UI for selecting “playing a game”, which is one of the in-application activities. Based on the activity of “playing a game” being selected through the corresponding UI, the user device 110 may transmit information identifying the activity to the server 101. The server 101 may confirm that the activity of “playing a game” is selected based on the received information. For example, the user device 110 may confirm that a specific activity is selected based on the user's activities within the virtual space. For example, the user device 110 may provide a personally allocated virtual space (hereinafter referred to as myroom) to the first user based on data from the server 101. You can. The user device 110 may check, from the first user, an input associated with at least one operation for decorating the first user's My Room (e.g., but not limited to, placing an item and/or replacing an item). You can. The user device 110 may transmit the corresponding input to the server 101. The server 101 may confirm that the first user's My Room decoration is selected and/or performed based on the corresponding input. The server 101 may confirm that “Decorate My Room” included in the in-application activity is selected and/or performed. The server 101 may change and/or create the first user's My Room based on the corresponding input. The server 101 may transmit data representing the changed and/or created My Room of the first user to the user device 110. The user device 110 may perform at least one operation to represent the changed and/or created My Room of the first user based on the received data. Or, in one example, the server 101 selects one of at least one selectable activity based on a request from a second user associated with the first user (e.g., a user registered as a friend of the first user). Data representing a virtual space where one can be selected (or to inquire whether to perform the activity selected by the second user together) may be generated and transmitted to the user device 110. Meanwhile, “at least one activity selectable in virtual space” in the embodiment of FIG. 3A and other embodiments of the present disclosure refers to an activity that can be selected and/or performed in a virtual space where an avatar and/or object are placed. may mean, and/or may mean activities that can be selected and/or performed on other screens outside of the virtual space (e.g., settings screen, game preparation screen, etc., without limitation) Those skilled in the art will understand.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the type of the selected activity in operation 305. For example, the server 101 may manage the type of at least one selectable activity by dividing it into in-application activity and outdoor activity. [Table 1] shows activities included in in-application activities and outdoor activities, and those skilled in the art will understand that this is an example and is not limited.

In one example, in-application activity may include interaction with other user avatars and/or NPC avatars contained within the virtual space.

[Table 2] provides, for example, a description of each in-application activity, a description of the challenge (for example, this may mean a mission with a reward upon completion), difficulty level and/or performance time, and reward (e.g. For example, coins and/or hearts).

[Table 3] provides, for example, a description of each in-application activity, a description of the challenge (for example, this may mean a mission with a reward upon completion), difficulty and/or performance time, and rewards (e.g. For example, coins and/or hearts).

The server 101 may confirm the type of activity selected and/or performed as one of in-application activity or outdoor activity.

If the type of activity is confirmed to be an in-application activity, according to one embodiment, the server 101, in operation 307, sends data indicating provision of a first type of reward set to the first user device (e.g. , can be provided to the user device 110). Data indicating provision of a reward set may be, for example, data indicating that a first type of reward set is provided based on the user's selection and/or performance of an activity. The server 101 may reflect the first type of reward set corresponding to the first user in operation 309. For example, server 101 may additionally reflect a first type of reward set for goods associated with the first user.

If the type of activity is confirmed to be an outdoor activity, the server 101, in operation 311, sends data indicating provision of the second type of reward set to the first user device (e.g., user device 110). ) can be provided. Data indicating provision of a reward set may be, for example, data indicating that a second type of reward set is provided based on the user's selection and/or performance of an activity. The server 101 may reflect the second type of reward set corresponding to the first user in operation 313. For example, server 101 may additionally reflect a second type of reward set for goods associated with the first user. Meanwhile, the server 101 may store and/or execute at least one verification algorithm for verifying the validity of completion of an outdoor activity. For example, some users may forge the GPS of the user device 110 to deceive completion of an outdoor activity to reach a specific location, and the server 101 verifies the validity of completion of the outdoor activity. Based on the execution of the algorithm for doing so, the validity of whether the corresponding activity has been completed can also be confirmed.

In one example, a first type of reward set may include a first quantity of a first good, and a second type of reward set may include a second quantity of the first good. That is, the first type of compensation set and the second type of compensation set may include the same type of goods, but the quantity of one type of goods may be different.

In one example, a first type of reward set may include a first quantity of a first good and a second type of reward set may include a second quantity of a second good. That is, the first type of compensation set and the second type of compensation set include different types of goods, and the quantity of one type of goods may be different, but in some cases, the quantity may be the same.

In one example, a first type of reward set may include a first quantity of a first good and a second quantity of a second good, and a second type of reward set may include a third quantity of a first good and a fourth good. It may include a second good in quantity. The first quantity and the third quantity may be the same or different. The third quantity and the fourth quantity may be the same or different. For example, the first good may be named coin and may be used to purchase items included in the first group. For example, the second good may be named heart and may be used to purchase items included in the second group. Here, the second group is, for example, set differently from the first group, set to include some items of the first group, or set to include some items of the first group and items not included in the first group. It can be set in various ways, such as set to include all items of the first group and items not included in the first group, and there is no limit to the way the groups are set. In one example, depending on the type of good, the types of items, activities, and/or events in which the good can be used may be set differently. For example, the purchase of the first item with the second good, the performance of the first activity, and/or the participation in the first event are set to be possible, but the purchase of the first item with the first good, the performance of the first activity, And/or participation in the first event may be set to be impossible. For example, the second good may be set to participate in the first event, but the first good may be set to prevent participation in the first event. In one example, the first compensation set set for an in-application activity may be set the same for all in-application activities, or even within an in-application activity, the compensation set may be set differently depending on the type of activity.

In one example, reward sets established for in-application activities and/or outdoor activities may be specified. In one example, reward sets set for in-application activities and/or outdoor activities may be set to be changeable. For example, a set of rewards may be set based on the user's current health status (e.g., may be expressed numerically as a health level, but is not limited), and/or the performance history of existing activities. For example, if the user's current health condition indicates that concentration is required, a relatively large set of rewards may be set for activities associated with improving concentration. For example, if the user's current health condition indicates that outdoor activities are required, a relatively large compensation set for outdoor activities may be set. For example, if the user's existing performance history is judged to be insufficient in outdoor activities (e.g., the number of outdoor activities during a specified period is relatively small, and/or the number of outdoor activities compared to the total activity performance (when the performance ratio of the activity is relatively small), a relatively large compensation set may be set for the outdoor activity. Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the first compensation set corresponding to the in-application activity and the second compensation set corresponding to the outdoor activity may be set to be the same.

Figure 3B shows an example reward set for an in-application activity and an outdoor activity according to one embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3B, for in-application activities, a reward set of 1 heart 331 and 100 coins 332 may be set. For outdoor activities, a reward set of 2 hearts (331) and 200 coins (332) can be set. For example, the heart 331 can be set to purchase both a special item 341 and a general item 342, and the coin 332 can be set to purchase the general item 342. Only purchases of special items 341 are allowed, and purchases of special items 341 may be set to not be allowed. In the embodiment of FIG. 3B, it can be seen that a relatively large amount of compensation is allocated to outdoor activities compared to in-application activities, but this is simply an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that, depending on the implementation, a larger amount of compensation may be allocated to in-application activities than to outdoor activities. For example, based on confirming that the user's current state requires concentration and/or confirming that the user has performed outdoor activities for a relatively long period of time, the reward for in-application activities is set to be greater than that for outdoor activities. It may be possible, and those skilled in the art will understand that there are no restrictions on the method of setting compensation for each activity.

Figure 3C shows an example reward set for an in-application activity and an outdoor activity according to one embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3C, for in-application activities, a reward set of 100 coins 332 may be set. For outdoor activities, a reward set of 2 hearts (331) and 200 coins (332) can be set. In the embodiment of FIG. 3C, one type of compensation (e.g., coin 332) may be set for in-application activities and two types of compensation may be set for outdoor activities, but this is merely an example. It is an enemy. Those skilled in the art will understand that, depending on the implementation, more types of rewards may be allocated for in-application activities than for outdoor activities.

Figure 3D shows an example reward set for an in-application activity and an outdoor activity according to one embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3D, for in-application activities, a reward set of 100 coins 332 may be set. For outdoor activities, a reward set of two hearts 331 can be set. In the embodiment of FIG. 3D, it can be seen that different types of goods are set for in-application activities and outdoor activities, but this is simply an example.

FIG. 4A is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device for an in-application activity according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 and the user device 110 may perform a connection procedure based on the first user account in operation 400. For example, user device 110 may transmit information associated with the first user's account (e.g., first user identifier and/or first user PIN) to server 101. Server 101 may receive information associated with the first user's account. The server 101 may perform a connection procedure (also called a login procedure) based on information associated with the first user's account. For example, the server 101 may determine whether to allow access to the first user based on whether the received information associated with the first user's account matches the previously stored information associated with the first user's account. there is. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described access procedure based on information associated with the first user's account is merely illustrative and that there are no restrictions on the access procedure.

According to one embodiment, in operation 401, the user device 110 may confirm selection and/or performance of an application activity among at least one activity selectable in a virtual space corresponding to the first user. The user device 110 may provide information indicating selection and/or performance of an in-application activity to the server 101 in operation 403. The server 101 may confirm that an in-application activity is selected and/or performed by the user based on information indicating selection and/or performance of the in-application activity. In one example, the user device 110 may provide a UI for selecting one of at least one activity based at least on data from the server 101. The user device 110 may check a user command for selecting one of at least one activity through the UI. The user device 110 may confirm the selection of an in-application activity based on a user command. In one example, the user device 110 may confirm that “sports game” is selected among at least one selectable mini game (eg, sports game, puzzle game, board game). The user device 110 may provide information indicating that “sports game” is selected to the server 101.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may provide data corresponding to the in-application activity to the user device 110 in operation 405. The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to the in-application activity in operation 407. If it is confirmed that the in-application activity of “sports game” is selected, the server 101 will transmit data for the progress of “sports game” as data corresponding to the in-application activity to the user device 110. You can. The user device 110 may provide a sports game that the user can play alone or with other users as virtual content, based on the received data for the progress of the “sports game.” The user device 110 may check user input associated with virtual content in operation 409. For example, while the user device 110 provides “sports game” as virtual content, the user may input at least one user input for playing the sports game as a manipulation. The user device 110 may transmit a request corresponding to the user input to the server 101 in operation 411. The request may be a request defined in the application (or in a game included in the application). The server 101 may provide a response corresponding to the request to the user device 110 in operation 413. The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to the response in operation 415. For example, when an in-application activity of “sports game” is running, the user device 110 may receive content corresponding to the user's input from the server 101 and provide it. The server 101 may check whether the activity has been completed in operation 417. For example, the server 101 may provide a set of rewards based on whether the activity is completed. Meanwhile, this is an example, and the server 101 may provide a compensation set based on whether the activity is started, and there is no limit to the compensation timing and/or compensation conditions. For example, a set of rewards may be provided at least one of the following: selection, start, progress, and/or completion of an activity.

Meanwhile, in one example, an in-application activity may be selected and/or performed based on a specified command within the virtual space rather than based on the user's selection of a list containing at least one activity. In one example, user device 110 may perform at least one operation to represent a virtual space, based at least on data from server 101 . Within the virtual space, a user's avatar (or character) and/or at least one other object (for example, an object constituting the virtual space and/or another user's avatar (or character) may be included. User Device 110 is capable of providing specific commands (e.g., performing an action of the avatar, moving the avatar, interacting with another object of the avatar, interacting with the avatar of another user of the avatar, and/or specifying an object within the virtual space, and /also can obtain user input for operation). The user device 110 transmits the user input as is to the server 101, and/or confirms the specific command mapped to the user input and confirms the specific command. may be transmitted to the server 101. The server 101 may confirm a corresponding command based on the received user input, and/or confirm the received command. The server 101 may confirm the confirmation. It can be confirmed that the confirmed command corresponds to the in-application activity. For example, if the confirmed command is confirmed to be the placement of an object (or item) into the user space defined in the virtual space, the server 101: Based on the confirmed command, it can be confirmed that the in-application activity of “Decorate the user space (My Room) defined in the virtual space” is selected and/or performed. For example, the confirmed command is text to another user. and/or in the case of a request for voice transmission, the server 101 may confirm that the in-application activity of “talking to another user” is selected and/or performed based on the confirmed command. Meanwhile, the in-application activity described above Those skilled in the art will understand that confirming the selection and/or performance of an activity is merely illustrative and not limiting. In this case, the server 101 provides data for expression of the in-application activity to the user device 110. For example, when the selection of the in-application activity of “Decorate the user space (My Room) defined in the virtual space” is confirmed, the server 101 displays the result of placing a specific item in the user space. Data for expression may be transmitted to the user device 110. The user device 110 may provide virtual content in which a specific item is placed in the user space based on data received from the server 101. For example, if the selection of the in-application activity of “Conversing with another user” is confirmed, the server 101 may send data to the user device ( 110). The user device 110 may provide virtual content indicating that text and/or voice is provided to other users based on data received from the server 101 . Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the data corresponding to the above-described in-application activity is merely illustrative and is not limited. As described above, in-application activities may be selected and/or performed based on specified commands within the virtual space rather than based on the user's selection of the list, in which case some operations in FIG. 4A (e.g. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that operations 401, 403, 405, and/or 407 (but not limited to) may be omitted. Meanwhile, confirmation of selection and/or performance of an in-application activity based on selection of any one from the above-mentioned list, and selection and/or performance of an in-application activity based on a user command within a virtual space as in the present embodiment. Those skilled in the art will understand that the identifications may be used interchangeably throughout this disclosure, as well as in the embodiment associated with Figure 4A.

FIG. 4B is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device for outdoor activities according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 and the user device 110 may perform a connection procedure based on the first user account in operation 430. Regarding the connection procedure, since it has been described with reference to FIG. 4A, the description will not be repeated here.

According to one embodiment, in operation 431, the user device 110 may confirm selection and/or performance of an outdoor activity among at least one activity selectable in a virtual space corresponding to the first user. In one example, the user device 110 may provide a UI for selecting one of at least one outdoor activity based on data received from the server 101. The user device 110 may check a user command for selecting one of at least one activity through the UI. The user device 110 may confirm the selection of an outdoor activity based on a user command. In one example, the user device 110 may confirm that “visiting a designated location in a real environment” is selected among at least one selectable outdoor activity. The user device 110 may provide the server 101 with information indicating that “visit a designated location in a real environment” is selected. The user device 110 may provide information indicating selection and/or performance of an outdoor activity to the server 101 in operation 433.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may provide data corresponding to outdoor activities to the user device 110 in operation 435. The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to an outdoor activity in operation 437. If it is confirmed that the outdoor activity of “visiting a designated place in the real environment” is selected, the server 101 sends data corresponding to the outdoor activity to the user device 110, “visiting the designated place in the real environment”. You can transmit data for the “Visit a Place” process. The user device 110 may provide, for example, a navigation screen for guidance to a real place as virtual content based on the received data for “visiting a designated place in a real environment”. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the provision of virtual content based on the provision of data from the server 101 described above is illustrative and may be omitted in some cases. For example, those skilled in the art will understand that the navigation screen for delivery may not be displayed, or may be configured independently by the user device 110 without data from the server 101. In this case, the server 101 may be set to confirm that an outdoor activity is selected and/or performed and not provide any special data to the user device 110.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may check sensing data in operation 439. The user device 110 may check at least one sensing data from the sensor 184 included in the user device 110 and/or an external sensor device 195 connected based on short-range communication. Sensing data may include, for example, sensing data for checking movement information, sensing data for checking location, and/or sensing data for checking biometric information of the user, but those skilled in the art will recognize that there is no limitation. You will understand. For example, in operation 441, the user device 110 transmits sensing data corresponding to the outdoor activity to the server 101 and/or sends information corresponding to the outdoor activity identified based on the sensing data. , can be transmitted to the server 101 as data corresponding to the sensing data. For example, if the outdoor activity is “visiting a designated place in a real environment,” the user device 110 may transmit, for example, GPS sensing data to the server 101. For example, when the outdoor activity is “exercise,” the user device 110 may transmit information such as the number of steps the user takes and the degree of movement of the user, which are confirmed based on the sensing data, to the server 101. . In one example, user device 110 may periodically transmit sensing data and/or information to server 101. In one example, the user device 110 may transmit sensing data and/or information to the server 101 based on the conditions associated with the outdoor activity being satisfied. In one example, the user device 110 may further transmit the captured foreground image to the server 101 along with GPS information. In this case, the server 101 may check whether the outdoor activity is completed based on whether the GSP information corresponds to the GPS information of the designated place and/or whether the captured foreground image corresponds to the image of the designated place. there is. The user device 110 may provide content based on sensing data in operation 443. Content based on sensing data may include, for example, information for determining whether an outdoor activity has been completed, but there is no limitation. For example, if the information for determining whether an outdoor activity has been completed is “walking steps,” the content in the 443 action may include the number of steps to date, but there is no limitation. In operation 445, the server 101 may check whether the activity has been completed. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some cases, the operation of providing sensing data may not be performed. The server 101 may determine whether the activity is complete based on data corresponding to the received sensing data, but there is no limitation.

Meanwhile, in the above description, selection of an outdoor activity based on user input through a UI that allows selection of one of at least one outdoor activity has been described, but this is simply an example. For example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may confirm the selection of an outdoor activity based on user input while the virtual space is provided, as also described in FIG. 4A. For example, interactions with objects included in a virtual space, one's own avatar, and/or another user's avatar may be related to outdoor activities. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 may confirm whether to select and/or perform an outdoor activity based on the object, the user's avatar, and/or interaction with another user. Alternatively, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may, based on information from another application installed on the user device 110 and/or associated with the first user account, select an outdoor activity and /Or you can check the performance. For example, in addition to the applications for improving mental health described above, a mobile health application may be installed on the user device 110. A mobile health application may obtain and/or manage information related to the user's health. For example, information associated with a user's health includes information associated with the user's sleep, information associated with the user's nutritional intake, and information associated with the user's body (e.g., weight, body fat, body mass, and/or body temperature). and/or information associated with cardiac activity (including, but not limited to, heart rate, and/or heart rate variability). The application may obtain information related to the user's health from the mobile health application. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 may determine whether to select and/or perform an outdoor activity based on the acquired information related to the user's health. For example, based on confirmation that heart rate variability (HRV) increases, resting heart rate decreases, and walking heart rate decreases as health-related information, user device 110 and/or server 101 may: Outdoor activities associated with cardio exercise may be confirmed to be selected and/or performed.

As explained with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B, in the case of an in-application activity, the activity is performed based on the request to the server 101 in operation 411 of FIG. 4A and the response from the server 103 in operation 413. You can. Meanwhile, in the case of outdoor activities, as described in FIG. 4B, whether or not the activity is performed (or can be used interchangeably with completion) is not determined based on the response from the server 101. Whether to perform an activity (or, completion) may be determined, but this may be an exemplary classification standard.

FIG. 5A is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device for an in-application activity according to another embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 and the user device 110 may perform a connection procedure based on the first user account in operation 500. In operation 501, the user device 110 may confirm selection and/or performance of an application activity among at least one activity selectable in a virtual space corresponding to the first user. The user device 110 may provide information indicating selection and/or performance of an in-application activity to the server 101 in operation 503. The server 101 may provide data corresponding to the in-application activity to the user device 110 in operation 505 . The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to the in-application activity in operation 507. As for operations 500 to 507, they have been described in detail above, so the description will not be repeated here.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may check the user input through the input device in operation 509. The input device is, for example, an input device set independent of the measurement of the user's physical body movements, and may include, for example, a touch screen display, a touch pad, a digitizer and/or buttons for detecting a stylus pen, but There are no limits. The user device 110 may, for example, check user input through an input device while content related to an in-application activity is being output, but there is no limitation. For example, if the in-application activity is “sports game,” user input for operation may be confirmed while the content of “sports game” is provided. The user device 110 may provide data corresponding to the user input to the server 101 in operation 511. The server 101 may provide data for providing content confirmed based on the user input to the user device 110 in operation 513. For example, when a user command for operating a “sports game” is provided to the server 101, the server 101 may transmit content reflecting the corresponding operation to the user device 110, but there is no limitation. The user device 110 may provide virtual content based on data received from the server 101 in operation 515 . The server 101 may determine whether the in-application activity is complete in operation 517.

FIG. 5B is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device for outdoor activities according to another embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 and the user device 110 may perform a connection procedure based on the first user account in operation 530. In operation 531, the user device 110 may confirm selection and/or performance of an outdoor activity among at least one activity selectable in a virtual space corresponding to the first user. The user device 110 may provide information indicating selection and/or performance of an outdoor activity to the server 101 in operation 533. According to one embodiment, the server 101 may provide data corresponding to outdoor activities to the user device 110 in operation 535. The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to an outdoor activity in operation 537. Operations 530 to 537 have been described in detail above, so the description will not be repeated here.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may check sensor-based sensing data in operation 539. For example, the user device 110 may check at least one sensing data from the sensor 184 included in the user device 110 and/or an external sensor device 195 connected based on short-range communication. The sensor 184 and/or the external sensor device 195 connected based on short-range communication may be, for example, a device independent of the operation of the in-application activity. In operation 541, the user device 110 may provide sensing data to the server 101. The user device 110 may provide content based on sensing data in operation 543. The server 101 may check whether the activity has been completed in operation 545.

As described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, in the case of an in-application activity, the activity may be performed based on user input obtained based on an input device. Meanwhile, in the case of outdoor activities, as described in FIG. 5B, the sensor 184 included in the user device 110 and/or the external sensor device 195 connected to the user device 110 based on short-range communication Activities can be performed based on sensing data obtained by . As described above, in one example, in-application activities and outdoor activities may be distinguished by hardware that collects (or acquires) data required for performance, but this may be an exemplary classification standard. Meanwhile, at least some of the at least one hardware for collecting (or acquiring) data for performing an in-application activity is at least some of the hardware for collecting (or acquiring) data for performing an outdoor activity. Those skilled in the art will understand that it may be the same as .

Meanwhile, in another embodiment, the user device 110 may collect data from an application different from the mental health application (eg, a physical health application) based on an API. In the user device 110, a mental health application related to the operation of various embodiments of the present disclosure and a physical health application that collects, analyzes, and manages the user's physical activity, physical condition, lifestyle, etc. may be installed and/or executed. You can. The mental health application may receive data from the physical health application. For example, a mental health application may, based on an API, receive data from a physical health application, but those skilled in the art will understand that there are no restrictions on the method of reception. The mental health application may perform selection and/or performance of outdoor activities based on data from the physical health application. For example, if the outdoor activity is “weight control,” the mental health application may receive weight and/or body fat records from the physical health application. The mental health application may determine whether to perform a “weight control” outdoor activity based on whether body weight and/or body fat records meet specified conditions. For example, if the outdoor activity is “sleep,” the mental health application may receive sleep records from the physical health application. The mental health application can determine whether to perform the outdoor activity of “sleep” based on whether the sleep record satisfies specified conditions.

Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned physical health application is an example, and that there is no limitation to the types of applications that provide data to the mental health application.

FIG. 6A is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device for an in-application activity according to another embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 and the user device 110 may perform a connection procedure based on the first user account in operation 600. In operation 601, the user device 110 may confirm the selection and/or performance of an application activity among at least one activity selectable in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. The user device 110 may provide information indicating selection and/or performance of an in-application activity to the server 101 in operation 603. The server 101 may provide data corresponding to the in-application activity to the user device 110 in operation 605 . The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to the in-application activity in operation 607. Operations 600 to 607 have been described in detail above, so the description will not be repeated here.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may check a user input associated with an object in the virtual space in operation 609. User input may include, for example, while a virtual space associated with an in-application activity is provided, user input (e.g., specifying and/or input) associated with an object within that virtual space (e.g., an object within the space, and/or an avatar). or operation) can be checked. For example, when the in-application activity is “Decorate My Room,” while a virtual space corresponding to My Room is provided, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 displays at least one object in My Room. A user input for placing (or an item) can be confirmed as a user input associated with an object in the virtual space. The user device 110 may provide data corresponding to the user input to the server 101 in operation 611. The server 101 may provide data for providing content to the user device 110 in operation 613. For example, the server 101 may provide data for representing a virtual space updated and/or created in response to a user input to the user device 110 as data for providing content. For example, the server 101 may provide data representing a virtual space in which at least one object (or item) associated with a user input is placed in My Room, and the user device 110 as data for providing content. ) can be provided. The user device 110 may provide virtual content based on data received from the server 101 in operation 615 . The server 101 may check whether the activity has been completed in operation 617.

FIG. 6B is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device for outdoor activities according to another embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 and the user device 110 may perform a connection procedure based on the first user account in operation 630. In operation 631, the user device 110 may confirm selection and/or performance of an outdoor activity among at least one activity selectable in a virtual space corresponding to the first user. The user device 110 may provide information indicating selection and/or performance of an outdoor activity to the server 101 in operation 633. According to one embodiment, the server 101 may provide data corresponding to outdoor activities to the user device 110 in operation 635. The user device 110 may provide virtual content corresponding to an outdoor activity in operation 637. Since operations 630 to 637 have been described in detail above, the description will not be repeated here.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may check independent sensing data from an object in the virtual space in operation 639. For example, the user device 110 may check at least one sensing data from the sensor 184 included in the user device 110 and/or an external sensor device 195 connected based on short-range communication. Sensing data and/or information confirmed based on the sensing data may be independent, for example, from manipulation of objects in virtual space. In operation 641, the user device 110 may provide sensing data to the server 101. The user device 110 may provide content based on sensing data in operation 643. The server 101 may check whether the activity has been completed in operation 645.

As described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, in the case of an in-application activity, the activity may be performed based on user input associated with an object in the virtual space. Meanwhile, in the case of outdoor activities, as described in FIG. 6B, the sensor 184 included in the user device 110 and/or the external sensor device 195 connected to the user device 110 based on short-range communication Activities may be performed based on sensing data that is independent from the designation and/or manipulation of objects in the virtual space, obtained by . As described above, in one example, in-application activities and outdoor activities may be distinguished by whether the data required for performance is associated with an object in the virtual space or is independent, but this is an exemplary distinction. It may be a standard.

FIG. 7A is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device to display a health status indicator according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 701. In operation 703, the server 101 may confirm completion of one of at least one selectable activity in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. For example, the server 101 may check whether the activity is completed based on data provided from the user device 110, but there is no limitation. In one example, the server 101 may check whether the corresponding activity is completed based on whether the time for which the corresponding activity is performed (or in progress) is longer than or equal to a threshold time. In one example, the server 101 determines whether the content provided by the corresponding activity is provided (for example, whether the entire content is provided, or whether the content exceeds a threshold ratio (or threshold time) of the entire content is provided, etc. There is no limit), you can check whether the activity has been completed. In one example, the server 101 may check whether the corresponding activity has been completed based on whether user input required by the corresponding activity has been received. In one example, the server 101 determines whether the measured signal (e.g., but not limited to information associated with movement and/or the user's biological signal) satisfies at least one condition required by the activity. Based on this, you can check whether the activity has been completed. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the criteria for determining whether the above-described activity has been completed are illustrative and are not limiting. The server 101 may check the type of activity for which completion has been confirmed in operation 705.

According to one embodiment, when the activity type for which completion has been confirmed is an in-application activity, the server 101 sends data indicating provision of a reward set to the first user device (e.g., the user device) in operation 707. (110)). Server 101 may reflect the reward set corresponding to the first user, in operation 709. Providing data to a user device to indicate provision of a reward set and/or returning a reward set in response to a first user has been described above and the detailed description herein will not be repeated. In operation 711, the server 101 may improve an indicator indicating the mental health state of the first user based on the performance of the in-application activity. For example, the indicator may be expressed as a number and/or text to indicate the mental health state of the first user, but there is no limitation on the format of the expression.

In one example, the user's mental health status is: first level, second level,... , can be expressed in the same format as the Nth level. In this case, the user's mental health state may be maintained, increased, and/or decreased based on whether the activity is performed and/or the user's biosignals are measured. For example, conditions may be set for changes between levels of the user's mental health status.

In one example, the conditions for changing from the second level to the third level (the numbers above are exemplary) are that the measured user biosignal satisfies the specified level increase condition (e.g., the user biosignal satisfies the specified level increase condition) Included in a range, the number of times the user's biosignal is included in the specified range is a specified number of times (e.g., there is no limit as long as it is a natural number greater than or equal to 1), and/or the period of time the user's biosignal is included in the specified range is a specified period of time. It may be possible, but there are no restrictions. In one example, the condition for changing from the second level to the third level is that the selection and/or performance of the activity satisfies a specified level increase condition (e.g., the number of times the selection and/or performance of the activity increases a specified number of times). (For example, if it is a natural number of 1 or more, there is no limit), and/or the selection and/or performance period of the activity is a specified period, but there is no limit. In this case, there is no limit to the type of activity subject to judgment, but in one example, in order to increase the level, performance of both in-application activity and outdoor activity may be required. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that, in one embodiment, both the user's biosignals and performance of the activity may be required to increase the level.

In one example, the conditions for changing from the second level to the first level (the numbers above are exemplary) are that the measured user biosignal satisfies a specified level reduction condition (e.g., the user biosignal satisfies a specified level reduction condition). Out of range, the number of times the user's biosignals deviate from the specified range is a specified number of times (e.g., there is no limit as long as it is a natural number of 1 or more), in a preset time window and/or the period of time the user's biosignals deviate from the specified range It may be a specified period of time, but there is no limit. In one example, the condition for changing from the second level to the first level is that selection and/or performance of the activity satisfies specified level reduction conditions (e.g., selection and/or performance of the activity during a preset time window). The number of times is confirmed to be less than a specified number of times, and/or the period of selection and/or performance of an activity during a preset time window is confirmed to be less than a specified period, but there is no limit. In this case, there is no limit to the type of activity subject to judgment, but in one example, in order to increase the level, performance of both in-application activity and outdoor activity may be required. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that, in one embodiment, both the user's biosignals and performance of the activity may be required for level reduction.

In one example, the user's mental health status may be expressed in the form of an immediate score, rather than in the form of an increase or decrease in level. For example, as a result of analysis based on the user's biosignals, a score that can indicate mental health status may be identified. For example, as a result of selecting and/or performing an activity, a score may be identified that may be indicative of a mental health condition. For example, scores may be managed on a cumulative basis, and/or may be determined based on immediate events (eg, confirmation of user biosignals and/or selection and/or performance of an activity).

According to one embodiment, when the activity type for which completion has been confirmed is an outdoor activity, the server 101 sends data indicating provision of a reward set to the first user device (e.g., the user device) in operation 713. (110)). Server 101 may reflect the reward set corresponding to the first user in operation 715. In operation 717, the server 101 may improve an indicator indicating the mental health state of the first user based on performance of the outdoor activity. As described above, since outdoor activities are also activities for improving mental health, an indicator indicating mental health status can be set to improve based on the performance of outdoor activities. Depending on the implementation, the degree of improvement of the indicator indicating the mental health state corresponding to the in-application activity and the degree of improvement of the indicator indicating the mental health state corresponding to the outdoor activity may be set differently, or may be set to be the same. there is. Alternatively, the degree of improvement in the indicator indicating the health state corresponding to the in-application activity and/or the degree of improvement in the indicator indicating the health state corresponding to the outdoor activity may be changed. Alternatively, the degree of improvement in the indicator indicating the health state corresponding to the in-application activity and/or the degree of improvement in the indicator indicating the health state corresponding to the outdoor activity may be determined based on the user's biological signals that are actually measured.

In one example, server 101 and/or user device 110 may determine mental health status based on heart rate. For example, when temperature and/or humidity suddenly increase, the heart must supply more blood, so the heart rate may increase, but generally may not increase by more than 5 to 10 beats per minute. For example, the heart rate may be maintained when the user is resting or when the user is standing. For example, if the user is obese, the heart rate may increase even when resting. For example, if the user is stressed, feeling anxious, very happy, or very sad, the heart rate may increase. For example, if a user takes beta blockers, heart rate may decrease. For example, if a user takes thyroid hormone medication, heart rate may increase. As described above, the heart rate may change depending on the user's emotions, and accordingly, the optimal value and/or optimal range of the heart rate at which the user's emotions are determined to be good may be set. For example, since the heart rate in the basic state may be different for each user, the optimal value and/or optimal range of the heart rate may be set for each user. Setting the optimal value and/or optimal range for each user, for example, setting the optimal value and/or optimal range for each individual user and/or for each group based on user information (without restrictions such as age, gender, physical condition, etc.) It may include setting of optimal values and/or optimal ranges and is not limited. For example, even for one user, the heart rate may be different depending on the current user's state (e.g., resting state, standing state, sitting state, overweight state, etc., without limitation), so the heart rate The optimal value and/or optimal range may be set for each user's status. For example, even for a single user, the heart rate may be different depending on the current surrounding environment (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc., without limitation), so the optimal value and/or optimal range of the heart rate is determined by the current surrounding environment. It can also be set for each environment. The server 101 and/or the user device 110 may, based on whether the heart rate of the first user satisfies conditions associated with an optimal value and/or optimal range of heart rate according to various embodiments, You can check your mental health status. Those skilled in the art will understand that information for determining various setting conditions (e.g., information about the current surrounding environment (temperature, humidity, etc.)) may be provided from the user device 110 to the server 101. . For example, based on the period in which the first user's heart rate is within the optimal range being a designated period, the server 101 determines that the condition for increasing the mental health level is satisfied, and increases the mental health level of the first user. may increase.

In one example, server 101 and/or user device 110 may determine mental health status based on heart rate variability (HRV). HRV can be influenced by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. For example, in situations where the user is under stress (which may be, but is not limited to, an acute stressful situation), HRV may decrease. For example, if HRV maintains a relatively high value in a general state, it may mean that the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system are well balanced. For example, if HRV maintains a relatively low value under normal conditions, it is possible that the user is tired, dehydrated, stressed, or unwell. For example, while a user is performing exercise (e.g., running, but without restrictions), the user's lower body expends relatively more resources, so keeping HRV at a relatively low value is not indicative of poor health. It may not mean status. As described above, HRV may change depending on the user's emotions (e.g., under stress), and accordingly, the optimal value and/or optimal range of HRV at which the user's emotions are judged to be good may be set. there is. For example, since HRV in the basic state may be different for each user, the optimal value and/or optimal range of HRV may be set for each user. Setting the optimal value and/or optimal range for each user, for example, setting the optimal value and/or optimal range for each individual user and/or for each group based on user information (without restrictions such as age, gender, physical condition, etc.) It may include setting of optimal values and/or optimal ranges and is not limited. For example, even for one user, HRV may be different depending on the current user state (e.g., resting state, standing state, sitting state, overweight state, exercise state, etc., without limitation). , the optimal value and/or optimal range of HRV may be set for each user's condition. For example, even for one user, HRV may be different depending on the current surrounding environment (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc., without limitation), so the optimal value and/or optimal range of HRV is determined by the current surrounding environment. It can also be set for each environment. Server 101 and/or user device 110 may, based on whether the heart rate of the first user satisfies conditions associated with an optimal value and/or optimal range of HRV according to various embodiments, You can check your mental health status. Those skilled in the art will understand that information for determining various setting conditions (e.g., information about the current surrounding environment (temperature, humidity, etc.)) may be provided from the user device 110 to the server 101. . For example, based on the period in which the HRV of the first user is within the optimal range being a designated period, the server 101 determines that the condition for increasing the mental health level is satisfied, and increases the mental health level of the first user. may increase. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that not only the above-described HRV, but also the ratio of LF/HF may be used together with the above-described parameters (eg, heart rate and/or HRV). For example, while a user is stressed, the ratio of LF/HF may increase. For example, it has been confirmed that panic disorder patients have relatively low HF power and high LF power compared to normal people. For example, people who score high on anxiety scales may have relatively high LF/HF ratios. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that not only the above-described HRV but also the ratio of respiratory rate may be used along with the above-mentioned parameters. For example, increased breathing rate and/or increased number of sighs may be associated with stress. For example, in healthy cases, inhalation may be relatively short and exhalation may be relatively long. For example, the resonant frequency within the cardiovascular system in a calm state may be 0.1 Hz (e.g., a breathing rate of 6 breaths per minute).

In one embodiment, the server 101 and/or the user device 110 may check the user's mental health status based on the first user's brain waves. For example, the first user may wear an external sensor device 195 for measuring brain waves. The external sensor device 195 may include, for example, an electrode that is a non-invasive sensing means, but those skilled in the art will understand that this is an example and may also include an invasive sensing means. The server 101 and/or the user device 110 may check the mental health status of the user based on the brain waves of the first user confirmed based on the sensing means. For example, the server 101 and/or the user device 110 may check brain waves based on EEG signals, but those skilled in the art will understand that there are no restrictions on signals for checking brain waves. Meanwhile, there is no limit to the sensing information used to check the user's status.

As described above, the server 101 and/or the user device 110 monitors the user's mental health based on various user biosignals such as the user's heart rate, HRV, HF/LF ratio, breathing rate, and/or brain waves. Those skilled in the art will understand that the status can be checked and that there are no restrictions on the type of user's biosignal.

FIG. 7B is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server and a user device to display a health status indicator according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 701. In operation 703, the server 101 may confirm completion of one of at least one selectable activity in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. The server 101 may check the type of activity for which completion has been confirmed in operation 705. According to one embodiment, when the activity type for which completion has been confirmed is an in-application activity, the server 101 sends data indicating provision of a reward set to the first user device (e.g., the user device) in operation 707. (110)). Server 101 may reflect the reward set corresponding to the first user, in operation 709. In operation 721, the server 101 may provide an indicator indicating the health status of the first user based on the acquired biosignal. For example, the server 101 may acquire at least one biosignal sensed by the sensor 184 included in the user device 110 and/or an external sensor device 195 connected based on short-range communication. there is. The server 101 may provide an indicator indicating the health status of the first user based on the analysis results of biometric signals. In the embodiment of FIG. 7B, the server 101 may use whether the in-application activity is completed to determine a reward corresponding to the user, and the indicator indicating the user's mental health status is independent of whether the in-application activity is completed. You can also manage it with . Also for outdoor activities, if the activity type whose completion has been confirmed is an outdoor activity, the server 101 sends data indicating provision of a reward set to the first user device in operation 713. (For example, it can be provided to the user device 110). Server 101 may reflect the reward set corresponding to the first user in operation 715. Even in this case, the server 101 can use the completion of the outdoor activity to determine the reward corresponding to the user, and the indicator indicating the user's mental health status can be managed independently from the completion of the outdoor activity. It may be possible.

FIG. 8A shows a flowchart explaining a method of operating a server for monitoring health status according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 801. In operation 803, the server 101 may confirm the selection and/or performance of one of at least one selectable activity in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. The server 101 may obtain sensing data of a biological signal from the first user device (eg, the user device 110) in operation 805. Meanwhile, the time of acquisition of bio-signal sensing data in operation 805 is shown in FIG. 8A as after confirmation of activity performance, but this is only an example, and the time of acquisition of bio-signal sensing data (or user device 110 Those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limit to the timing of provision of biosignal sensing data from ) to the server 101. For example, bio-signal sensing data may be performed by the user device 110 periodically and/or based on event detection, and bio-signal sensing data obtained as a result of the performance may be transmitted to the server 101. , and/or may be obtained and/or transmitted based on selection, and/or completion of an activity. For example, the user device 110 may obtain sensing data of the user's biosignal from the included sensor 184 and/or an external sensor device 195 connected through short-range communication. The user device 110 may transmit sensing data of the user's biological signals to the server 101 through the communication interface 185.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may check the user's mental health status in operation 807 based on the selection and/or performance of the activity and/or bio-signal sensing data. In one example, server 101 may determine the user's mental health status based solely on selection and/or performance of activities. In one example, the server 101 may check the user's mental health status based only on the user's biometric signals. In one example, server 101 may confirm the user's mental health status based on both the selection and/or performance of the activity and the user's biosignals.

In one example, when the mental health state is expressed in the form of a level, the server 101 may determine an increase in the level of the user's mental health based on the selection and/or performance of the activity and/or bio-signal sensing data. , you can decide whether to reduce or maintain it. For example, when selection and/or performance of an activity and/or biometric signal sensing data satisfy the level increase condition, the server 101 may increase the user's mental health level by one level. For example, when selection and/or performance of an activity and/or bio-signal sensing data satisfy the level reduction condition, the server 101 may reduce the user's mental health level by one level. For example, if the selection and/or performance of the activity and/or the biological signal sensing data do not satisfy both the level increase condition and the level decrease condition, the server 101 determines the user's mental health level. can be maintained. If the mental health state is expressed in the form of a score rather than a level, the server 101 may check the score indicating the user's mental health level. As discussed above, one skilled in the art will understand that mental health levels may be determined on a cumulative basis, or may be determined immediately, and there are no limitations on the manner in which they are determined.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may store the mental health status in association with the first user's account and provide the mental health status to the user device 110 in operation 809 . Accordingly, the user device 110 may express (eg, display) the current mental health level of the first user based on the information received from the server 101. Meanwhile, providing the mental health condition to the user device 110 is simply an example, and the server 101 may provide the user device 110 with data for expressing a virtual space including the mental health condition. Those skilled in the art will understand. In this case, the user device 110 may represent a virtual space based on the received data, and a mental health condition may be included in the represented virtual space.

FIG. 8B shows a flowchart explaining a method of operating a server for monitoring health status according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 881. In operation 883, the server 101 may confirm the selection and/or performance of one of at least one activity selectable in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. The server 101 may obtain sensing data of a biological signal from the first user device (eg, the user device 110) in operation 885. For example, the user device 110 may obtain sensing data of the user's biosignal from the included sensor 184 and/or an external sensor device 195 connected through short-range communication. The user device 110 may transmit sensing data of the user's biological signals to the server 101 through the communication interface 185.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may check the user's mental health status in operation 887 based on the selection and/or performance of the activity and/or bio-signal sensing data. In operation 889, the server 101 may check whether the health state satisfies a specified condition. In one example, server 101 may determine whether the level of mental health has increased during a specified time window as whether the health state satisfies specified conditions. For example, if the mental health level does not increase for a week, the server 101 may determine whether the health state does not satisfy a specified condition. Based on confirmation that the health state does not satisfy the specified condition (889-No), the server 101 may provide the user device 110 with data for recommending performance of an additional activity, in operation 891. . Additional activities may be selected, for example, to satisfy specified conditions. For example, when additional performance of outdoor activities is required to increase the level, the server 101 may provide data for recommending performance of outdoor activities as data for recommending performance of additional activities. , can be provided to the user device 110.

FIG. 9A shows a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server for providing an activity bundle according to an embodiment. The embodiment of FIG. 9A will be described with reference to FIG. 9B. FIG. 9B is a diagram for explaining a bundle of activities according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 901. The server 101 may confirm at least one information associated with the first user in operation 903. The server 101 may provide the user device 110 with data for recommending the first activity bundle based on at least one piece of information associated with the first user, in operation 905 . The user device 110 may provide a UI for recommending the first activity bundle based on data received from the server 101. If the user input for selecting the first activity bundle is confirmed through the UI, the user device 110 may transmit information indicating the selection of the first activity bundle to the server 101. The server 101 may receive information indicating the selection of the first activity bundle, and based on this, perform at least one activity included in the first activity bundle (for example, performing the activity on the server 101 side). You may perform an operation for and/or notify (or request) the user device 110 to perform an activity.

For example, the server 101 may check the user's mental health status as at least one piece of information associated with the first user. For example, the server 101 may recommend the first bundle based on the user's mental health state being in the first state. For example, the server 101 may recommend a second bundle based on the user's mental health state being in a second state that is different from the first state. For example, the elements of the first bundle may be at least partially different from the elements of the second bundle. For example, even if the elements of the first bundle and the elements of the second bundle are the same, the order of the elements within the bundle may be different. For example, in FIG. 9B, the first bundle of activities may be composed of a first in-application activity/second in-application activity/first outdoor activity. The second bundle of activities may be comprised of a third in-application activity, a second in-application activity, and a second outdoor activity. The composition of the activity bundle may be determined based on rules, or may be determined based on an artificial intelligence model that receives the user's mental health status and outputs at least one activity (or activity bundle). Those skilled in the art will understand that making decisions based on rules and/or artificial intelligence can be applied not only to this embodiment, but also to other embodiments of the present disclosure. According to the above, if the user's mental health status is different, a bundle of different activities may be provided. For example, if the level of the user's mental health condition is low, a bundle for increasing the level may be determined. For example, if the user's mental health condition is confirmed to be “depressed” (or if the depressive emotion is relatively high), a bundle optimized for relieving the depressive emotion may be recommended. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of elements constituting the bundle of an activity may be plural, but may be only one depending on implementation.

For example, the server 101 may check the user's activity performance history as at least one piece of information associated with the first user. For example, when a user performs a specific activity relatively many times, the server 101 may include the corresponding activity in the recommendation bundle. For example, the server 101 may include in the recommendation bundle an activity that is similar to a specific activity that the user performed relatively frequently. For example, the server 101 may exclude from the recommended bundle a specific activity that has been performed by a relatively large number of users.

For example, the server 101 may check the user's bundle execution history as at least one piece of information associated with the first user. For example, the server 101 may generate a candidate bundle and provide the user device 110 with data for expressing a UI that can select at least one of the candidate bundles. The user device 110 may use the received data to express a UI that can select at least one of the candidate bundles. When at least one bundle is selected and/or performed through the UI, the user device 110 may report this to the server 101. Server 101 may confirm and/or manage user preferences for bundles based on a history of selecting and/or performing bundles. Server 101 may select recommended bundles based on user preferences for future bundles.

If a user performs a specific activity relatively many times, the corresponding activity may be included in the recommended bundle. For example, the server 101 may include in the recommendation bundle an activity similar to a specific activity that the user performed relatively frequently. For example, the server 101 may exclude from the recommended bundle a specific activity that has been performed by a relatively large number of users.

For example, the server 101 may check the user's daily pattern as at least one piece of information associated with the first user. For example, the server 101 may configure a bundle to correspond to the user's daily pattern. For example, with respect to the first user, if a walking pattern is confirmed from 9:00 am to 10:00 am on weekdays, the server 101 selects an activity requiring “walking” between 9:00 am and 10:00 am (e.g. For example, it can be (but is not limited to) outdoor activities) can be included in the bundle.

For example, the server 101 may identify the user's inclination (or personality) as at least one piece of information associated with the first user. For example, the server 101 may analyze and/or manage information about the user's tendencies (or personality), or receive it from another system (e.g., a social network system) and store and/or manage it. There is, and there is no limit. For example, the server 101 may check the user's inclination (or personality) previously stored within the server 101 (or in an external storage accessible from the server 101). For example, the server 101 may confirm the user's personality (or personality) by performing at least one operation to check the user's personality (or personality). For example, a user's inclination (or personality) may be confirmed based on the response results of a survey for the user. For example, the user's tendency (or personality) can be confirmed based on relationship information (e.g., number of friends, number of following, number of followers, etc., but without limitation) defined within the social network corresponding to the user. there is. For example, a user's inclination (or personality) is activity information defined within the social network corresponding to the user (e.g., number of photo uploads, number of threads created, number of comments created, number of accesses to pages of other accounts, etc.) There are no restrictions). Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that there are no limitations to the method for confirming the user's inclination (or personality) described above. The user's disposition (or personality) may be determined as one of the Big 5 personality types, for example, but there is no limit to the format for expressing the disposition (or personality). The server 101 may configure activities within the bundle based on the inclination (or personality) of the first user. For example, “approach for tailoring persuasive mental health applications (Felwah Alqahtani, Sandra Meier & Rita Orji)” and/or “and Persuasive Technology: An Exploratory Study on Health-Promoting Mobile Applications (Sajanee Halko & Julie A. Kientz)” In this study, it was confirmed that persuasive technologies were more effective in health-promoting apps depending on the Big 5 personality types. Accordingly, the activities included in the bundle and/or their arrangement order may be determined according to user preference. For example, the first tendency may be motivated relatively more by competition-based activities, and the second tendency may be relatively less motivated by competition-based activities. If the user's tendency is confirmed to be the first tendency, the server 101 may include a competition-based activity in a bundle for the first user. When the user's tendency is confirmed to be the second tendency, the server 101 excludes the competition-based activity from the bundle for the first user and adds another activity with substantially the same (or similar) effect to the bundle. Can be included.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may store in advance the association information between the user's inclination (or personality) and the activity, and based on the stored association information, the server 101 may store the activity corresponding to the inclination (or personality) of the first user based on the stored association information. can be included in the bundle. Meanwhile, the user's inclination may include the user's lifestyle habit and/or the user's exercise inclination, and there is no limit to the type.

FIG. 10A shows a flowchart explaining a server operation method for reflecting weights according to an embodiment. The embodiment of FIG. 10A will be described with reference to FIG. 10B. FIG. 10B shows a diagram for explaining a weight-based compensation setting method according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 1001. In operation 1003, the server 101 may confirm the selection and/or performance of one of at least one selectable activity in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. The server 101 may check the weight to be applied to compensation in operation 1005. For example, when the weight to be applied to compensation is confirmed as the first weight, the server 101 provides data indicating the provision of the first compensation set confirmed based on the first weight in operation 1007. 1 Can be provided as a user device. The server 101 may provide a first reward set corresponding to the first user, in operation 1009. Meanwhile, when the weight to be applied to compensation is confirmed to be the second weight, the server 101 sends data indicating the provision of a second compensation set confirmed based on the second weight to the first user in operation 1011. It can be provided as a device. Server 101 may provide a second reward set corresponding to the first user, in operation 1013. For example, referring to Figure 10B, the default reward set for a first in-application activity may be 1 heart and 100 coins, and the default reward set for a first outdoor activity may be 2 hearts and 200 coins. It can be. The server 101 may check the compensation set by multiplying the basic compensation set by the weight (r). For example, the weighted reward set for a first in-application activity might be 1*r hearts and 100*r coins, and the weighted reward set for a first outdoor activity might be 2*r hearts. and 200*r coins.

For example, the server 101 may check the weight based on the performance history of the corresponding activity. For example, when an activity is performed for the first time, a relatively high weight may be assigned. For example, if the difference between the time when an activity was last performed and the time when it is currently performed is relatively large, a relatively high weight may be assigned. Depending on the weighting described above, for example, performance of various activities may be induced, but this is merely an example. For example, the server 101 may increase the weight of a specific activity based on the existing number of repetitions in order to make activities good for improving mental health a habit. Among in-application activities, “writing a diary” may be an activity that requires habituation. In this case, the server 101 may assign a relatively high weight based on the daily repetition of performing the activity of “writing a diary.” For example, if “diary writing” was performed for one day, r = 1, if it was performed for two consecutive days, r = 2, and if it was performed for three consecutive days, r = 3, etc., the server 101 records the existing performance history. Weights can be set based on The server 101 may define a habituation level for habituation of the above-described activities. For example, the habituation level for a specific activity for a specific user can be set based on the number of repetitions (or number of performances) of the specific activity. For example, for relatively high habituation levels, relatively high weights may be assigned. The habituation level may be expressed, for example, as a number, and an object (for example, in the form of a badge) to express it may be expressed in the virtual space.

On the other hand, there may be activities that perform temporarily (or for a certain period of time) help improve mental health, but actually worsen mental health if they become a habit. For example, playing games with other users temporarily (or for a certain period of time) in terms of social interaction can help improve mental health. However, if gaming becomes a habit, it has the potential to worsen mental health. Accordingly, the server 101 may assign a weight to prevent habituation to a specific activity. For example, the server 101 may assign a general weight to a specific activity up to the critical repetition number (or before the critical performance period). However, if the critical number of repetitions is exceeded (or if the critical performance period is exceeded), the server 101 may not assign a weight to the activity, or may assign a negative weight to the activity. Meanwhile, there are no restrictions on the method of assigning weight based on the activity performance history.

For example, the server 101 may check the weight based on the user's mental health status. For example, if the user's mental health status is relatively high (e.g., if the user has a high mental health level), the server 101 may apply a relatively high weight to performing a specific activity. . For example, server 101 may set the weight based on the period of time the user maintains a good mental health status. The relatively longer the period during which the user's good mental health status is maintained, the server 101 may apply a relatively higher weight.

For example, the server 101 may check the weight according to the user's tendency (or personality). For example, the server 101 may check the user's preferences previously stored within the server 101 (or in an external storage accessible from the server 101). For example, the server 101 may check the user's personality by performing at least one operation to check the user's personality. For example, a user's tendency may be confirmed based on the response results of a survey for the user. For example, the user's tendency can be confirmed based on relationship information (e.g., number of friends, number of following, number of followers, etc., but without limitation) defined within the social network corresponding to the user. For example, a user's tendency is activity information defined within the social network corresponding to the user (e.g., but not limited to, the number of photo uploads, number of threads created, number of comments created, number of accesses to pages of other people's accounts, etc.) It can be confirmed based on . Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that there are no limitations to the method for confirming the user's inclination described above. The user's tendency may be determined as one of the Big 5 personality types, for example, but there is no limit to the format for expressing the tendency. For example, even with the same type of weight, the degree of motivation may be different depending on the user's tendency. As described above, the use within the virtual space (or in real life) may be different for each type of good. The server 101 may determine a weight for each type of product based on the user's preference, based on information about the correlation between the user's preference and the type of product.

For example, the server 101 may check the weight according to the type of activity. For example, the server 101 may set the same basic reward set for all activities and set weights differently for each activity. For example, the server 101 may set the weight for in-application activity and the weight for outdoor activity differently. For example, the server 101 may set the weight for the first application activity to be different from the weight for the second application activity. For example, the server 101 may set the weight for the first outdoor activity to be different from the weight for the second outdoor activity. Alternatively, depending on the user's tendency, activities with a relatively greater motivated effect may be different. For example, the first tendency may be motivated relatively more by competition-based activities, and the second tendency may be relatively less motivated by competition-based activities. The server 101 assigns a relatively high weight to the competition-based activity when the user's inclination is confirmed to be the first inclination, and gives relatively high weight to the competition-based activity when the user's inclination is confirmed to be the second inclination. By assigning a low weight, users can be encouraged to continue using mental health applications. Alternatively, the server 101 assigns a relatively low weight to the competition-based activity when the user's tendency is confirmed to be the first tendency, and gives a relatively low weight to the competition-based activity when the user's tendency is confirmed to be the second tendency. By assigning a relatively high weight, users may be encouraged to perform non-preferred activities.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment of FIG. 10B, the weight r is described as being applied based on a multiplication operation on the basic compensation set, but this is an example, and the weight r is based on an addition operation on the basic compensation set. Those skilled in the art will understand that it can be applied in this way, and that there are no restrictions on the method of application.

Meanwhile, although not shown, if a specific user performs a specific activity for the first time (or performs it after a preset time has elapsed), compensation with additional weight applied may be provided. Meanwhile, although not shown, if an activity is performed continuously in a designated time unit (eg, every day), compensation with additional weight applied may be provided. Meanwhile, although not shown, if it is determined that a performance habit for a specific activity has been formed, compensation with additional weight applied may be provided. Conditions for determining that a performance habit is formed may include, for example, performing an activity more than a specified number of times within a specified period and/or continuously performing an activity more than a specified number of times during a specified period, but there is no limit to the type. Although not shown, a habituation level may be assigned and managed for a specific user. Depending on the degree of habituation, a habituation level may be assigned to the user, and weights may be applied based on the habituation level. For example, a relatively high reward may be granted for a relatively high habituation level. Based on the habituation level, additional items (e.g., badges) may be given to the user separately for the goods. The badge may be retained after being provided to the user, but its activation may be renewed when a specified period of time has elapsed. An example of a habituation level may be as follows.

* Habituation level

Lv.1: Continue the habituation standard for 1 week

Lv.2: Continue the habituation standard for 2 weeks in a row

Lv.3: Continue the habituation standard for 4 consecutive weeks

For example, for activity A, if it lasts for 1 week, rests for 2 weeks, or lasts for 2 weeks, the habituation level and whether to activate the badge may be determined as follows.

Week 1: Lv.1 BADGE

Week 2: Lv.1 BADGE remains in effect

Week 3: Lv.1 BADGE but effectiveness x

Week 4: Lv.1 BADGE effect revived

Week 5: Lv.1 BADGE & Lv.2 BADGE

Meanwhile, although not shown, if indicators of mental health are maintained in a good state, rewards and/or additional items (eg, badges) with relatively high weights may be provided. Depending on the implementation, badges based on habituation level and indicators of mental health may have different forms and/or attributes, but are not limited to these.

Meanwhile, although not shown, a mental health class may be determined based on the habituation level, an index of mental health, and/or the number of at least one type of badge. Additionally, compensation may be provided based on weights determined based on mental health class. A class may be expressed, for example, as “SS/S/A/B/C” or as “”, but there are no restrictions on the way it is expressed. For example, a class may be updated after a specified period of time has elapsed, and the change history of the class may be saved.

[Table 4] is an example of the number, weight, and additional benefits of badges for each class according to an embodiment.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a server operation method considering activity limitations according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 1101. In operation 1103, the server 101 may confirm the selection and/or performance of one of at least one activity selectable in the virtual space corresponding to the first user. In operation 1105, the server 101 may check whether a limiting condition for repeated performance exists in relation to the corresponding activity. Here, checking whether a condition for repeated performance exists may mean checking the weight (or reward set in which the weight is reflected) for the corresponding activity.

If there is no limiting condition for repeated performance, the server 101 confirms the first compensation set based on the weight according to the performance history in operation 1107 and indicates provision of the confirmed first compensation set. Data for this purpose may be provided to a first user device (eg, user device 110). The server 101 may reflect the first reward set corresponding to the first user in operation 1109. The server 101 may determine a reward set for the corresponding activity without any restrictions on repeated performance. For example, the corresponding activity may be set as an activity that requires habituation. In this case, the server 101 may set a weight for the activity based on whether the activity is repeatedly performed. Here, repetitive performance may mean continuous performance within a designated period, and the type of designated period may be set in various ways. If the designated period is one day, a policy that grants additional compensation according to weight adjustment according to repeated performance of the activity within one day may be called a daily mission, and there is no limit to the type (or length) of the designated period. does not exist.

If a limiting condition for repeated performance exists, the server 101 may check whether to assign weight based on the performance history in operation 1111. For example, in order to limit repeated performance, weighting may not be assigned to a specific activity based on whether a specified condition is satisfied (e.g., a parameter associated with repeated performance exceeds a specified threshold parameter). . In operation 1113, the second compensation set is confirmed based on the weight according to the performance history, and data indicating provision of the confirmed second compensation set is provided to the first user device (e.g., user device 110). You can. The server 101 may reflect the second reward set corresponding to the first user in operation 1115. Meanwhile, in another implementation, the server 101 may prevent repeated performance of a specific activity, for example, based on whether a specified condition is satisfied (e.g., a parameter associated with repeated performance exceeds a specified threshold parameter). Therefore, a negative weight may be assigned. As the cumulative number of iterations after exceeding the critical number of iterations increases, the degree of penalty for the weight may increase.

Meanwhile, setting differentiated weights based on whether the above-mentioned constraints on repetitive performance exist is simply illustrative, and depending on the implementation, a weighting method (or compensation set assigning method) is set based on the number of repetitions for each activity. Those skilled in the art will understand that this may be possible. In addition, the server 101 may set a weight (or compensation set) for usage restrictions by replacing the activity use time with the number of repetitions (or in addition to the number of repetitions). For example, in the case of activities that require habituation, a relatively high weight may be assigned as use time is accumulated. For example, in the case of activities that do not require habituation, if the cumulative value of usage time exceeds a threshold accumulation value, a relatively low weight, no weight, or a negative weight may be assigned. .

Meanwhile, the penalty for the number of repetitions described above may be reset after a certain period of time. For example, when the number of repetitions for a specific activity exceeds the threshold number of repetitions, the server 101 may start a penalty release timer. If a specific activity is performed before the penalty grant release timer expires, the penalty grant release timer may be restarted. While the penalty grant release timer operates, activation of the penalty grant policy may be maintained. As the activity is not performed while the penalty release timer is running, the penalty release timer may expire. In this case, the server 101 may initialize the number of repetitions (or cumulative time), and the penalty granting policy may be deactivated accordingly. Information related to the progress of the penalty grant release timer may be provided to the user device 110. The user device 110 may display information related to a penalty release timer, and the user may refrain from performing a specific activity by viewing the related information.

According to the above-mentioned, when a specific activity is performed more than a threshold number of times (or a threshold time), a relatively low reward may be given, or the reward may be reduced, so that use of the specific activity may be refrained. Meanwhile, the server 101 may be set to impose a penalty for the user's mental health status in addition to a policy limiting rewards. For example, when the user's health condition is expressed as a level, the level may be reduced as a penalty. For example, the user's health may be maintained in good condition, and/or items granted to the user (e.g., badges, awards, or trophies) may be retrieved based on completion of certain activities. There are no restrictions on the implementation method.

As described above, as various setting options for weights are provided, it may be possible to design a system to encourage the use of activities and/or activities that can more effectively improve mental health status. In particular, it may be possible to grant differentiated rewards to activities that require habituation and/or activities that do not require habituation, so that the user's mental health status can be improved more effectively.

Meanwhile, [Table 5] is an example of compensation policies according to various embodiments.

Figure 12 shows a flowchart to explain a server operation method considering user preferences according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 1201. The server 101 may check the preference of the first user in operation 1203. For example, the server 101 may check the user's inclination (or personality) previously stored within the server 101 (or in an external storage accessible from the server 101). For example, the server 101 may confirm the user's personality (or personality) by performing at least one operation to check the user's personality (or personality). For example, a user's inclination (or personality) may be confirmed based on the response results of a survey for the user. For example, the user's inclination (or personality) can be confirmed based on relationship information (e.g., number of friends, number of following, number of followers, etc., but without limitation) defined within the social network corresponding to the user. there is. For example, a user's inclination (or personality) is activity information defined within the social network corresponding to the user (e.g., number of photo uploads, number of threads created, number of comments created, number of accesses to pages of other people's accounts, etc.) There are no restrictions). Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that there are no limitations to the method for confirming the user's inclination (or personality) described above. The user's disposition (or personality) may be determined as one of the Big 5 personality types, for example, but there is no limit to the format for expressing the disposition (or personality).

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may check activity performance and/or biometric signals related to the first user in operation 1205. The server 101 may confirm mental health-related information related to the first user in operation 1207. For example, as described above, the server 101 may confirm information about the user's mental health status as mental health-related information based on the biometric signals of the first user. For example, the server 101 may confirm information about the user's mental health status as mental health-related information based on the first user's activity performance history. For example, the server 101 may identify information related to items and/or goods collected (or purchased) by the first user as mental health-related information related to the first user. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that information related to the interaction and/or interaction results in the virtual space of the first user can be used as mental health-related information related to the first user without limitation.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may configure a screen related to mental health-related information according to the first user's tendency in operation 1209. In one example, the server 101 may configure a plurality of screens according to the user's preference, corresponding to one application state. This may also be named a user-customized screen. In one example, if the server 101 determines that the first user's personality is an extrovert, the server 101 may send mental health-related information to another user (e.g., a user registered as a friend on a social network, but without limitation). ) and sharing functions can be configured and provided to the user device 110. The user device 110 may display the received screen. The displayed screen may include an object (or key, or button) that can share mental health-related information with other users. When the object is designated and/or a sharing target user is designated, the user device 110 may transmit a message authorizing sharing of the first user's mental health-related information to the sharing target user to the server 101. . The server 101 may provide mental health-related information of the first user to the sharing target user based on reception of the corresponding message. In one example, when the server 101 determines that the first user's tendency is an introvert, the server 101 configures a screen that does not include the function of sharing mental health-related information with other users, and displays the user device ( 110). For example, numerous studies have been conducted on the correlation between user preferences and the use of social network (or social media) services. For example, “Big Five personality traits, Big Two metatraits and social media: A meta-analysis (Dong Liu, W.Keith Campbell)”, “network use and personality(YairAmichai-Hamburger, aGideonVinitzkyb)”, “acii Ryan, Sophia Da-Jun Zhang, Zhi-Qiang Su), it was confirmed that there was a correlation between the Big 5 personality types and the use of social network services. For example, in “interacts on the Web?: The intersection of users' personality and social media use (Teresa Correa, Amber Willard Hinsley, Homero Gilde Zuniga), the degree of communication activity in social media varies depending on the Big 5 personality types. This has been confirmed. As described above, in one example, the service of a social network may be preferred or not preferred depending on the user's inclination. The server 101 may provide the first user with a function for linking with a social network or may not provide a function for linking with a social network, depending on the preference of the first user. Those skilled in the art will understand that whether or not the above-described user's mental health-related information is shared with other users is an example of whether or not it is linked to a social network, and there is no limit to the type.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server to provide a virtual space considering user preferences according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may confirm the connection of the first user in operation 1301. The server 101 may check the preference of the first user in operation 1303. Since the method for confirming the first user's inclination has been described above, the description here will not be repeated. If the first user's preference is confirmed to be the first preference, the server 101 generates data for representing the first virtual space corresponding to the first preference in operation 1305 to generate data for the first user device (e.g., It can be provided to the user device 110). If the first user's preference is confirmed to be the second preference, the server 101 generates data for representing a second virtual space corresponding to the second preference in operation 1307 to use the first user device (e.g. , can be provided to the user device 110). The first virtual space corresponding to the first tendency and the second virtual space corresponding to the second tendency may be at least partially different.

In one embodiment, at least some of the at least one first object included in the first virtual space corresponding to the first tendency is at least one of the at least one second object included in the second virtual space corresponding to the second tendency. Some may differ. For example, depending on the user's preference, preferences for the type of object, the placement location of the object, and/or the total number of objects in the virtual space may be different, and the server 101 may provide information based on the user's preference. The type of object, the placement location of the object, and/or the total number of objects within the virtual space may be determined. In one example, an object placed in a virtual space may be, for example, an object associated with selecting and/or performing a specific activity. As described above, activities with a relatively greater motivated effect may differ depending on the user's tendency. For example, the first tendency may be motivated relatively more by competition-based activities, and the second tendency may be relatively less motivated by competition-based activities. When the user's tendency is confirmed to be the first tendency, the server 101 may generate data to represent a first virtual space including an object for selecting and/or performing a competition-based activity. When the user's tendency is confirmed to be the second tendency, the server 101 generates data to represent a second virtual space including an object that selects and/or performs an activity other than a competition-based activity. You can. According to the above, it may be possible to provide a personalized virtual space to the user, and a virtual space that is more motivating to improve the user's mental health may be provided.

In one embodiment, at least some of the at least one first avatar (or character) included in the first virtual space corresponding to the first disposition is at least one of the at least one avatar (or character) included in the second virtual space corresponding to the second disposition. It may be different from at least some of the second avatars (or characters). For example, depending on the user's inclination, he or she may prefer or not prefer that a relatively large number of avatars of other users in the virtual space be included. The server 101 may determine the avatar included in the virtual space according to the user's preference. If the user's preference is to place a large number of users, there are relatively few users who are related to the user (for example, have friends on a social network) and/or have access to the space. If the number of users is relatively small, the server 101 may include an avatar corresponding to an NPC in the virtual space. NPCs may, for example, support conversational functions such as chatbots, which may make it difficult for users to recognize that the avatar is an NPC.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a server to provide an application package considering user preferences according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, a server for application download (e.g., which may be server 101, but may also be an application market server), in operation 1401, downloads the application from the first user (or to the first user's account). A download request for a mental health application may be received from the user device 110 connected based on the user device 110 . In operation 1403, the server may check the preference of the first user. For example, based on a download request for a mental health application, the server queries the business operator operating server of the mental health application and/or the social network service providing server for the disposition of the first user, and then sends a query as a response to the query. Information about the first user's tendencies can be received. Alternatively, the server may check the first user's preference based on the first user's application download history, and those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limit to the method of confirming the first user's preference. If the first user's preference is the first preference, in operation 1405, the server sends an application package including a first installation setting corresponding to the first preference to the first user device (e.g., user device 110 )) can be provided. If the first user's preference is the second preference, in operation 1407, the server sends an application package including a second installation setting corresponding to the second preference to the first user device (e.g., user device 110 )) can be provided. As an example, depending on the user's inclination, the user may or may not prefer the provision of various notifications, such as performing an activity from a mental health application. If the first tendency prefers to provide notifications, the server automatically sets the server to allow provision of notifications by the mental health application, or inquires about whether to allow provision of notifications. You can decide the installation settings. Accordingly, when the user device 110 downloads and installs a mental health application, provision of a notification may be automatically permitted, or a pop-up window may be displayed to inquire whether provision of the notification is permitted. If the second tendency does not prefer the provision of notifications, the server automatically sets the server to not allow the provision of notifications by the mental health application, or does not inquire whether to allow the provision of notifications. , the first installation settings can be determined. Accordingly, when the user device 110 downloads and then installs a mental health application, the provision of notifications is not automatically permitted, or the display of a pop-up window inquiring about whether to allow the provision of notifications may be prevented. (refrain from) can. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limit to the parameters automatically set in the installation environment as long as they are parameters that can improve motivation for using a mental health application.

The user device 110 according to various embodiments may express (or provide, or display) screens according to various examples below. As described above, the user device 110 displays a screen using data received from the server 101, or data received from the server 101 and acquired (or stored) from the user device 110. The screen may be displayed using data, or the screen may be displayed using only data acquired (or stored) in the user device 110 without data from the server 101, and the data used to construct the screen may be displayed. Those skilled in the art will understand that there is no limitation on type and/or source. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments below in which the user device 110 provides a screen may provide a screen based on data from the various sources described above. Meanwhile, the representation of virtual space from various third-party viewpoints described later is simply illustrative, and those skilled in the art will understand that the virtual space representation described later may be implemented as an expression from the user's viewpoint in consideration of VR content and/or AR content. will understand.

15A to 15C are examples of in-application activity performance screens provided to users according to various embodiments.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may provide a virtual space 10010. The virtual space 10010 may include avatars 10011 and 10012. For example, the first avatar 10011 may be an avatar corresponding to an NPC defined in virtual space. NPC may mean, for example, an entity that does not operate due to the operation of a specific user, may operate by a program that causes it to perform a specific action, and/or may operate by the administrator of the virtual space, but is limited. There is no The first avatar 10011, which is an NPC, may be placed at a certain point in the virtual space 10010, may move along a path confirmed by a program, and/or may move to approach an avatar corresponding to a specific user. Meanwhile, the fact that the first avatar 10011 is an NPC is simply an example, and the first avatar 10011 may be an avatar operated by another user. The second avatar 10012 may operate according to the user's manipulation of the user device 110. The second avatar 10012 may be named, for example, a user avatar. In this example, as the second avatar 10012 moves according to the user's operation and moves to the virtual space 10010 where the first avatar 10011 exists, the first avatar 10011 and the second avatar ( A virtual space (10010) in which all 10012) exist can be expressed. Alternatively, as the first avatar 10011, which is an NPC, moves to the second avatar 10012, a virtual space 10010 in which both the first avatar 10011 and the second avatar 10012 exist may be displayed. Meanwhile, an indication 10013 located near the first avatar 10011 may also be provided. The indication 10013 is used when designated (or an object associated with the indication 10013 (in this case, when interacting with the first avatar 10011), function (e.g., in-application activity, outdoor activity) , the activity of the avatar within the virtual space, and/or the invocation of other functions. For example, designation of the indication 10013 and/or indication 10013 ) (In this case, based on confirmation of interaction with the first avatar 10011, a screen such as FIG. 15B may be provided. Designation of the indication 10013 and/or the indication 10013 Objects associated with (in this case, the virtual space 10020 provided according to interaction with the first avatar 10011 may include the first avatar 10011 and the second avatar 10012. Meanwhile, the virtual A text window 10025 may be provided covering the space 10020. The text window 10025 may contain, for example, a phrase recommending the execution of an in-application activity (e.g., “Meditation relaxes our body and mind and It helps relieve tension and stress. “Do you want to start meditating right now?”) and a confirmation button (10026) for executing the in-application activity. If the confirmation button (10026) is specified, it may include Once confirmed, the user device 110 may provide content for expressing the in-application activity. For example, the user device 110 may provide a screen as shown in Figure 15C. User device 110 ) The virtual space 10030 provided by includes a first avatar 10031, and the first avatar 10031 may perform an operation for performing an in-application activity. For example, an in-application activity. In the case of meditation, the first avatar 10031 may be set to assume a pose related to meditation, and in addition to the pose, voice and/or text to induce the meditation process may be provided as content. Accordingly, the user of the second avatar 10011 can perform an in-application activity based on at least part of the provided content. Meanwhile, based on confirmation that the in-application activity is complete, a text window 10032 to indicate completion of the activity may be displayed to cover the virtual space 10030. In the above drawing, the text window 10032 is shown to cover the virtual space 10030, but this is displayed after the in-application activity is completed, and before the in-application activity is completed, the text window 10032 is displayed to cover the virtual space 10030. Those skilled in the art will understand that only (10030) may be displayed. The text window 10032 may include, but is not limited to, text indicating that the activity is completed and/or information to express a reward paid based on activity completion (e.g., 20 hearts in this example). . Meanwhile, the designation and/or execution of the in-application activity based on the recommendation by the NPC described above is merely illustrative. As described above, a function may also be provided in which an avatar operated by another user recommends execution of an in-application activity to an avatar corresponding to the user in a virtual space. Alternatively, a function may also be provided in which an avatar operated by a user recommends execution of an in-application activity to an avatar corresponding to another user in a virtual space. Alternatively, designation and/or execution of an in-application activity may be performed based on the user's interaction with an object existing in the virtual space being confirmed without the intervention of multiple avatars.

Meanwhile, it is merely an example that an in-application activity is designated and/or executed based on interaction with an avatar and/or other types of objects in a virtual space. In addition to in-application activities, outdoor activities may also be designated and/or executed based on interaction with an avatar and/or other types of objects within a virtual space.

16A and 16B are examples of in-application activity screens provided to users according to various embodiments.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may provide a virtual space 10110. The virtual space 10110 may include an avatar 10111. For example, the avatar 10111 may operate according to the user's manipulation of the user device 110 and may also be named a user avatar. In this example, as the avatar 10111 moves according to the user's manipulation, it moves to the virtual space 10110 where the manipulable object 10112 exists, and both the avatar 10011 and the manipulable object 10112 move. An existing virtual space (10110) can be expressed. Meanwhile, an indication 10113 located near the manipulable object 10112 may also be provided. The indication 10113 is used when designated (or when interacting with an object associated with the indication 10113 (in this case, when interacting with the operable object 10112), function (e.g., in-application activity, outdoor activity) , the activity of the avatar within the virtual space, and/or the invocation of other functions. For example, designation of the indication 10013 and/or indication 10013 ) (in this case, a screen such as 16b may be provided based on confirmation of interaction with an object associated with the object 10112 that can be manipulated).

In the virtual space 10120, which is provided according to designation of the indication 10013 and/or interaction with an object associated with the indication 10013 (in this case, the operable object 10112), an avatar (an avatar) that is a user avatar is provided. 10121) and a manipulable object 10122 may be included. The shapes of the avatar 10121 and the manipulable object 10122 may be expressed to be related to the performance of the in-application activity, but there is no limitation.

For example, when the in-application activity is fishing, the avatar 10121 may be set to assume a pose related to the fishing activity, and the object 10122 may also be expressed to have a shape indicating that the user is fishing. Accordingly, the user of the avatar 10121 can perform an in-application activity based on at least part of the provided content. Meanwhile, based on confirmation that the in-application activity is completed, a text window 10125 to indicate completion of the activity may be displayed to cover the virtual space 10120. In the above-described drawing, the text window 10125 is shown to cover the virtual space 10120, but this is displayed after the in-application activity is completed, and before the in-application activity is completed, the text window 10125 is displayed to cover the virtual space 10120. Those skilled in the art will understand that only (10120) may be displayed. The text window 10125 may include, but is not limited to, text indicating that the activity is completed and/or information to express a reward paid based on activity completion (e.g., 20 hearts in this example). . As described above, it is merely exemplary that in-application activities are designated and/or executed based on interaction with manipulable objects within the virtual space. In addition to in-application activities, outdoor activities may also be designated and/or executed based on interaction with an avatar and/or other types of objects within a virtual space.

17A and 17B are examples of activity selection and performance screens provided to users according to various embodiments.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may provide a screen 10210 for selecting an activity. The screen 10210 for selecting an activity may be called the worlds screen for convenience of explanation. The screen 10210 for selecting an activity may include at least one of a plurality of selectable in-application activities and/or at least one of a plurality of selectable outdoor activities. Activities may be divided into categories (10211, 10212, 10213), for example. For example, the category 10211 of relaxation practices includes at least one activity to promote mental and physical stability of the user (e.g., group meditation, 10 Minutes Yoga) Classification may include, but is not limited to, managing stress, mindfulness at work, and/or group yoga. For example, in the game category 10212, game activities for relieving stress and/or improving concentration (e.g., minigame party, jigsaw puzzle, baseball game (homerun) Classification may include, but is not limited to, challenge, tug of war, and/or traffic controller. Although not shown, for example, activities to improve the user's creativity (eg, drawing, etc.) may be classified in the creative expression category 10213. The user device 110 may confirm the selection of one of the various activities provided. For example, the user device 110 may provide a screen such as 17b based on confirmation that group meditation is selected.

The virtual space 10220 provided by the user device 110 may include a plurality of avatars 10221, 10222, and 10223 attending group yoga. One of the plurality of avatars 10221, 10222, and 10223 may be a user avatar, and the other avatars may be other users' user avatars and/or NPC avatars. In addition to the screen 10220 above, voice and/or text that can help users with meditation training may be provided as content. Meanwhile, based on confirmation that the in-application activity is complete, a text window 10225 to indicate completion of the activity may be displayed to cover the virtual space 10220. In the above drawing, the text window 10225 is shown to cover the virtual space 10220, but this is displayed after the in-application activity is completed, and before the in-application activity is completed, the text window 10225 is displayed to cover the virtual space 10220. Those skilled in the art will understand that only (10220) may be displayed. The text window 10225 may include, but is not limited to, text indicating that the activity is completed and/or information to express a reward paid based on activity completion (e.g., 20 hearts in this example). .

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may recommend and/or perform outdoor activities based on the current location of the user avatar in the virtual space. For example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide a virtual space that includes a store selling sports goods. For example, the server 101 may place objects (e.g., may be in the form of products or stores, but are not limited to) for third parties in the virtual space, based on a contract with the third-party operator. . Once the selection of the object is confirmed, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide information related to the object, a connection to a home page where purchases can be made, and/or functions for commercial means, such as providing coupons. Yes, but there is no limit. According to one embodiment, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 triggers selection of the corresponding object, access to the corresponding object, and/or performance of a function associated with the object, and performs related outdoor functions. Can perform and/or recommend activities. For example, if a selection and/or purchase of a sports-related item is confirmed, user device 110 and/or server 101 may request, as a related outdoor activity, a visit to a physical location (e.g., a related store). visits) can be carried out and/or recommended. In this case, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may represent an object that can enter the corresponding outdoor activity in a virtual space. For example, a door-shaped object may be provided within a virtual space, and when a door is designated through user interaction, the avatar opens the door and enters and exits, creating a screen corresponding to another virtual space and a specific in-application activity. , or a screen corresponding to a specific outdoor activity may be provided, but this is an example and is not limited.

Meanwhile, the above-described store is simply an example, and the user device 110 and/or the server 101 recommends and/or performs outdoor activities based on event information corresponding to the user device 110. It may be possible. For example, server 101 may detect an event (e.g., a running event) that corresponds to the location of user device 110 (e.g., which may be determined based on, but not limited to, GPS and/or WPS). You can check. Alternatively, the server 101 may check an event corresponding to the location of the avatar in the virtual space. As an example, a virtual space may be created to be mapped to the real world, so events in the real world may be set to correspond to the virtual space. For example, when a running event is held in “NewYork,” the server 101 may also set a running event for the virtual space of “NewYork.” When the avatar visits the virtual space of “NewYork,” the server 101 may be configured to check events corresponding to “NewYork” in the real world and recommend or execute outdoor activities corresponding to the events. there is. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 recommends and/or executes an outdoor activity corresponding to the event (e.g., an outdoor activity of running, or access to a homepage corresponding to a running event). You can. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 may determine whether the outdoor activity is satisfied based on satisfaction of a completion condition corresponding to the running event.

18A to 18C are examples of outdoor activity performance screens provided to users according to various embodiments.

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 may provide a screen 10310 related to outdoor activities. For example, in this example, let us assume that the outdoor activity is “visiting a specific location.” In this case, the screen 10310 related to the outdoor activity may include a map related to the user's current location. A screen 10310 related to an outdoor activity may include an indicator 10311 indicating the current location of the user (or the user device 110). The indicator 10311 and/or the map may be changed based on location information (eg, but not limited to GPS information) of the user device 110. The screen 10310 related to outdoor activities may include indicators 10312 and 10313 indicating the target point to be visited. The user can move to the target point by recognizing the indicators 10311, 10312, and 10313 on the map. The target point may be set based, for example, on the type of virtual space in which the user avatar is located. For example, if the type of virtual space in which the user avatar is located is a forest, the target point may be set to the forest. For example, if the type of virtual space in which the user avatar is located is a beach, the target point may be set as a waterside space. However, this is an example and there is no limit to the criteria for setting the target point.

Referring to FIG. 18B, the position of the user device 110 may change according to the user's movement. Based on a change in the location of the user device 110, a screen 10320 in which the location of the indicator 10321 indicating the current location of the user device 110 on the map has changed may be provided. The map included in screen 10320 may be different from the map included in screen 10310, which may be caused by a change in the location of the user device 110. Referring to the screen 10320, the indicator 10321 may be confirmed to be within a specified distance (or confirmed to be included within the area of the target point) from the indicator 10322 indicating the target point. This can be confirmed as if the user has reached the goal point, and the user device 110 can provide a timer 10323 to determine whether the goal point has been reached. The timer 10323 may include a status bar and an indicator that moves on the status bar (or fills the status bar) with the passage of time, but there are no restrictions on how it is implemented. When the timer 10323 expires, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may confirm that the outdoor activity has been completed.

Referring to FIG. 18C, as described above, when the timer 10333 expires, the screen 10330 may be displayed such that an indicator fills substantially the entire status bar included in the timer 10333. The indicators 10331 and 10332 can maintain substantially the same position. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 may confirm completion of the outdoor activity based on the expiration of the timer 10333. Meanwhile, this is an example, and those skilled in the art will understand that the outdoor activity may be confirmed to be completed based on the current location of the user device 1100 being within a designated location range, without intervention of the timer 10323. Meanwhile, based on confirmation that the outdoor activity is completed, a text window 10335 to indicate completion of the activity may be displayed to cover the virtual space 10330. In the above-described drawing, the text window 10335 is shown to cover the virtual space 10330, but this is displayed after the outdoor activity is completed. Before the outdoor activity is completed, the virtual space 10335 is displayed. Those skilled in the art will understand that only (10330) may be displayed. The text window 10335 may include, but is not limited to, text indicating that the activity is completed and/or information to express a reward paid based on activity completion (e.g., 20 hearts in this example). .

According to one embodiment, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide outdoor activities defined within a virtual space. For example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide a visit to a specific location in a virtual space world rather than the real world as an outdoor activity. For example, while performing an outdoor activity, the avatar's movement is not based on touch screen input and/or manipulation of an input device, but rather on sensing data such as a pedometer, acceleration sensor, and gyro sensor to measure physical movement. It can be controlled by. Accordingly, the avatar in the virtual space may move according to the user's movements in the real world. In order to move to a specific location within the virtual space, the user may need to move in the real world. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 may cause movement of the user avatar in virtual space based on sensing data associated with the user's movement in the real world. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 may confirm that the outdoor activity has been completed when the user avatar is confirmed to have reached a specific point in the virtual space. As described above, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may express at least some content for outdoor activities in a virtual space.

19A and 19B are examples of screens according to user preferences provided to users according to various embodiments.

As described above, the user device 110 may provide different UI according to user preference.

For example, the user device 110 may provide a screen as shown in the drawing above based on the user's first tendency. For example, the screen may be a screen about a virtual space 10510 that includes avatars 10511 and 10512. On the virtual space 10510, chat icons 10513 may be displayed overlapping. The chat icon 10513 may be an icon for toggling activation/deactivation of the text chat list 10516 and input UI (e.g., but not limited to SIP). The text chat list 10516 may include at least some of the texts of messages sent and received between the user account and other user accounts. The microphone icon 10514 may be an icon for toggling on/off the microphone (or voice input function) for voice chat. The speaker icon 10515 may be an icon for toggling the speaker (or voice output function) on/off for voice chat. For example, in the drawing, the chat icon 10513, microphone icon 10514, and speaker icon 10515 may all be activated. For example, the first tendency may be an extroverted tendency. If the user's tendency is to be an extrovert, the default state may be that the chat icon 10513, microphone icon 10514, and speaker icon 10515 are all activated. Meanwhile, when the menu call icon 10517 is designated, a menu may be displayed. When the emotional expression icon 10518 is designated, various candidate emotions may be provided. Based on which one of the candidate emotions is selected, the user device 110 may provide an expression in which the user avatar performs an action corresponding to the emotion. When the gesture expression icon 10519 is designated, various candidate gestures may be provided. Based on which one of the candidate gestures is selected, the user device 110 may provide an expression in which the user avatar performs an action corresponding to the gesture. Types of gestures include, but are not limited to, single gestures such as greetings, applause, hand hearts, and meditation, and/or collaborative gestures such as high fives, handshakes, and hugs.

For example, the user device 110 may provide a screen as shown in FIG. 19B based on the user's second tendency (eg, introversion).

Meanwhile, some of the icons (10617, 10618, 10619) may be the same as the icons (10517, 10518, 10519), and the avatars (10611, 10612) included in the virtual space (10610) are the same as the icons (10517, 10518, 10519). Since it may be the same as the avatars 10511 and 10512 included in , the description here is not repeated. The chat icon 10613 may be in a deactivated state. Accordingly, it can be confirmed that the text chat list 10516 is not displayed. The microphone icon 10614 and speaker icon 10615 may be in a deactivated state. For example, the second tendency may be an introverted tendency. If the user's tendency is to be an introvert, the default state may be that the chat icon 10613, microphone icon 10614, and speaker icon 10615 are all deactivated. As described above, the user device 110 may provide different UI depending on the user's preference.

Figure 20 is an example of an activity achievement-related screen provided to a user according to various embodiments.

The user device 110 according to an embodiment may provide a screen 10710 for checking the user level as shown in the figure below.

The screen 10710 for checking the user level according to one embodiment may be, for example, a screen related to the habituation level for each activity. For example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may manage the habituation level for each of the in-application activities 10712. For example, in an example such as screen 10710, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 sets a habituation level of level 2 for in-application exercise, which is one of the in-application activities 10712. And for hobbies, you can set a habituation level of level 1. The habituation level can be set to increase, for example, when the corresponding activity is performed continuously. For example, the habituation level may be set to increase based on the condition of performing a specific activity more than a certain number of times during one unit of time (eg, one day). Accordingly, the habituation level may increase as the number of consecutive performances per unit time increases. Meanwhile, when continuous performance is interrupted, the habituation level may be set to stop or decrease, but there is no limit.

For example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may manage the habituation level for each of the outdoor activities 10713. For example, in an example such as screen 10710, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 sets a habituation level of level 3 for offline exercise, which is one of the outdoor activities 10712. For visiting places, you can set a habituation level of level 0.

For example, user device 110 and/or server 101 may determine a level (e.g., habituation level) for in-application activities 10712 and a level (e.g., habituation level) for outdoor activities 10713. For example, based on the habituation level), the overall health level 10711 for the user can be managed. For example, in this embodiment, user device 110 and/or server 101 configures levels (e.g., habituation levels) for in-application activities 10712 and outdoor activities 10713. Based on the sum of the levels (e.g., habituation level), the overall health level (10711) for the user may be determined, but this is simply an example and there is no limit to the determination method (e.g., calculation method). Those skilled in the art will understand.

The screen 11310 may include a recommendation function 11315 based on the user's personality. User tendencies include, for example, the Big 5 tendencies: openness (11316), conscientiousness (11318), extraversion (11412), agreeableness (11415), and emotional stability. (Alternatively, it can also be named neuroticism) (11418) and can be expressed together with scores for each tendency (11317, 11410, 11413, 11416, 11419).

The user device 110 and/or the server 101 according to an embodiment may provide various recommended UIs based on the user's preferences.

In one example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide an icon to recommend a club based on the user's preferences. For example, based on the score 11317 corresponding to the openness 11316, an icon 11319 for joining and/or visiting a runners club may be provided. For example, the server 101 may provide a function to create a club that users can join. The server 101 may manage by matching at least one tendency for each club. For example, the server 101 can manage “running club” by matching the tendency of “openness.” The server 101 may provide an icon 11319 for recommending a club corresponding to a specific user's preference. For example, when the score corresponding to the openness of a specific user exceeds the threshold score, the server 101 creates an icon 11319 for recommending a club corresponding to the user's tendency as a recommendation item. can be provided. If the icon 11319 is designated, a page for the club may be provided.

In one example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide icons for recommending activities based on the user's preferences. For example, based on the score 11410 corresponding to conscientiousness 11318, an icon 11411 is provided to recommend and/or execute activities such as journaling and life logging 11411. It can be. The server 101 may manage by matching at least one tendency for each activity. For example, the server 101 can manage “authorship activities” and “diary writing” by matching the tendency of “sincerity.” The server 101 may provide an icon 11411 for recommending an activity corresponding to a specific user's preference. For example, when the score corresponding to the sincerity of a specific user exceeds the threshold score, the server 101 displays an icon 11411 for recommending an activity corresponding to the user's tendency as a recommendation item. can be provided. If the icon 11411 is designated, a screen for performing the corresponding activity may be provided. For example, the server 101 can manage “fishing” and “collection” by matching the tendency of “emotional stability.” The server 101 may provide an icon 11420 for recommending activities corresponding to the preferences of a specific user. For example, when the score 11419 corresponding to the emotional stability of a specific user exceeds the threshold score, the server 101 recommends an activity corresponding to the tendency as a recommendation item according to the user's tendency. An icon 11420 may be provided. If the icon 11420 is designated, a screen for performing the corresponding activity may be provided.

In one example, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide icons for activating/deactivating functions based on the user's preferences. For example, based on the score 11413 corresponding to extroversion 11412, an icon 11414 for deactivating a meetup function may be provided. The server 101 may match and manage at least one tendency for each function used in the virtual space. For example, the server 101 can manage the “meeting function” by matching the tendency of “extroversion”. The server 101 may provide an icon 11414 for activating/deactivating a function corresponding to a specific user's preference. For example, when the score corresponding to the extroversion of a specific user is below the threshold score, the server 101 provides an icon 11414 for deactivating the function corresponding to the user's tendency as a recommended item according to the user's tendency. can do. If icon 11414 is specified, the corresponding function may be disabled. For example, the server 101 can manage the “sharing function” by matching the tendency of “friendliness”. The server 101 may provide an icon 11417 for activating/deactivating a function corresponding to a specific user's preference. For example, when the score 11416 corresponding to the friendliness of a specific user is below the threshold score, the server 101 displays an icon 11417 for deactivating the function corresponding to the user's tendency as a recommended item. ) can be provided. If icon 11417 is specified, the corresponding function may be disabled. Meanwhile, this is an example, and the server 101 may provide content for a virtual space in which the corresponding function is initially disabled for the user.

Meanwhile, as described above, the embodiment of recommending activities and/or functions that match the user's preferences is merely illustrative. The user device 110 and/or the server 101 according to one embodiment may be set to recommend activities and/or functions that do not match the user's preferences. For example, based on the fact that the score 11413 of extroversion 11412 is relatively low, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may perform activities and/or activities corresponding to extroversion in order to enhance the user's extroversion. It can also be set to recommend feature activation. The user device 110 and/or server 101 may determine the type of information to recommend, for example, based on the user's settings. For example, if the user's settings are to recommend activities and/or functions that match the user's preferences, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may provide a UI (e.g. For example, a screen 11310) may be provided. For example, if the user's settings are to enhance a tendency that is lacking among the user's tendencies, the user device 110 and/or the server 101 may conversely provide a UI that does not match the user's personality.

Meanwhile, the user's tendency can be confirmed based on the user's response to the survey. The user's tendency may be confirmed based on the user's activities in the virtual space, activity performance results, and/or biometric signal analysis results. For example, the server 101 may check user tendencies based on the number of times a specific activity is performed and the number of times a specific activity is performed within the virtual space. When a specific activity and/or the number of times a specific activity is performed is relatively high, the propensity score corresponding to the activity and/or activity may be set relatively high. When a specific activity and/or the number of times a specific activity is performed is relatively small, the propensity score corresponding to the activity and/or activity may be set to be relatively low.

According to one embodiment, the server 101 may check the user's personality using biometric signals. For example, as described above, the level of stress of a specific user may be confirmed based on biometric signals (eg, HRV, but not limited to) for the specific user. For example, the server 101 may check the user's tendency (eg, emotional stability) based on the user's level of stress. Alternatively, the server 101 may confirm the user's tendency by using analysis results of specific activities and biosignals within the virtual space. The examples below describe a method for confirming scores for at least some of the Big 5 tendencies based on analysis results of specific activities and biosignals within a virtual space.

Meanwhile, the above-mentioned relationships are merely exemplary, and there are no restrictions on activities within the virtual space and the types and tendencies of bio-signals used. The server 101 and/or the user device 110 may store an algorithm for providing the relationship as described above, and input activity and biosignals and/or analysis results in the virtual space into the algorithm, for example For example, you can check the Big 5 tendencies. The score for the propensity in the table above may be implemented as a relatively low or relatively high absolute value, or may be implemented as an adjustment to adjust the existing score, and there is no limit to the form of expression. . In determining the above-described user-specific tendencies, clear factors such as stress, negativity, disfavor, and anxiety can be used to directly determine preferences, so user-specific tendencies with high reliability can be confirmed.

According to the above-mentioned information about what activities users performed according to their tendencies, the correlation between the tendencies and the performed activities can be confirmed. The correlation may be used to determine whether to update, add, and/or delete activities that can be performed in the virtual space in the future. Alternatively, customized advertising content may be provided according to user preference.

An object 11513 representing a ratio may be included. Both objects 11512 and 11513 may be visually expressed differently. Accordingly, by looking at the screen 11510, the user can confirm at what rate he or she performed in-application activities and outdoor activities. The screen 11510 may include a ranking of indicators of mental health among all users (e.g., implemented in the form of a percentage 11514, but there are no restrictions on the format). Accordingly, the user may check the state of his or her mental health by viewing screen 11510.
