Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned patents or the lack of existing products, the inventor has developed a method for assisting movement with virtual reality, including: a virtual reality scene modeling step, using a virtual reality device to display multiple scenes and a variety of game content; a setting step, the processor sets an exercise amount of an exercise equipment according to a physical parameter of an athlete, and the exercise amount of the equipment has a limit value; a virtual reality execution step, the processor is connected to The sports equipment displays the aforementioned scene waiting for the execution of the game. When the exercise amount of the equipment is close to the limit value during the execution of the game, the scene and the game content are changed so as to control the exercise amount of the equipment not to exceed the limit value.

Further, each scene includes at least one sub-scene, and the above-mentioned execution change is to change all the scenes to the sub-scene, and the sub-scene requires less equipment movement than the scene.

Further, a state adjustment step is included, the processor monitors the physical parameter of the athlete, and when the physical parameter is close to a warning value, the aforementioned scene and the game content change are executed.

Further, a connection mode is included. When the connection mode is executed, an average value is set according to the physical parameters of all athletes, and the suitable scene and game content are found by using the average value.

Another object of the present invention is a computer program product, when the computer is loaded into the computer program product, the aforementioned steps are executed.

Another object of the present invention is a storage medium, which stores a computer program, and when the computer reads the computer program and executes the aforementioned steps.

According to the above-mentioned technical features, the following effects can be achieved:

1. By replacing the traditional screen with the presentation of virtual reality, not only can the operator have a more realistic experience, but the present invention also detects the physical parameters of the athlete at the same time, thereby providing the best training items and intensity.

2. During operation, if the time and amount of exercise operated by the operator approach the limit value, in order to avoid injury caused by excessive exercise, the present invention will start to switch scenes and game content, so as to gradually reduce the amount of exercise and avoid excessive exercise. Movement creates hazards.

3. During the operation, the physical parameters of the athlete will also be detected synchronously. If the physical parameters are abnormal, such as the heart rate is too fast or the pupils diverge, etc., the scene will be changed immediately or the game will be stopped to avoid more serious damage. sports injury.

4. The present invention also provides a connection mode. Actors in different regions can log in and pair with each other. The system will integrate the physical parameters of all the athletes participating together, and calculate an appropriate average value, and select an appropriate scene based on the average value and game content, so that everyone can enjoy the fun of games and sports.

Based on the above-mentioned technical features, the main functions of the method for assisting exercise with virtual reality in the present invention will be clearly presented in the following embodiments.

Please refer to the first figure, which is a flow chart of the steps of the method of using virtual reality to assist exercise in the present invention. In order to clearly describe the process, please explain it together with the schematic diagram of the device wearing in the second figure, so that it will be more clear Understand the spirit of the present invention.

Firstly, the hardware devices that need to be connected to each other in the present invention are described, including virtual reality glasses 1, sports equipment 2 (a flywheel machine is used in this embodiment), a physiological state monitoring device 3 (a wearable device is used in this embodiment) to detect heart rhythm) and a host that can be connected to the cloud, and each device is connected to transmit information through a wired or wireless connection.

The operator first moves to the sports equipment 2 and puts on the virtual reality glasses 1. The operator can choose to log in to the host through the remote control or operate the button on the sports equipment 2. After entering the host, the host reads the physiological status monitoring first. The heart rhythm information sent by the device 3, as well as the personal information such as age and gender input by the operator in advance, all of the above can be called body parameter setting. Call out the scene and game content suitable for the operator from the stored database. For example, operator A is a male, 25 years old, with normal physiological information, and has the habit of exercising for at least 30 minutes each time in a week. Therefore, the host will generate scenes and game content that require high equipment exercise.

Taking this as an example, operator A chooses the scene of Sun Moon Lake, and the game content chooses to chase the thief. In the game content, operator A needs to step on the flywheel, and the faster he picks, he can chase the target thief. It is possible to adjust the scene and game content to match the operator's movement state, for example, the thief runs faster, or there are more obstacles in the process, etc. In particular, a button can be designed on the handle of the flywheel machine, and when the button is pressed, the character in the game will pick up a weapon to remove obstacles (such as trees or stones, etc.).

At the same time, the processor mainly sets a limit value for the exercise amount of the equipment when it receives the aforementioned body parameter setting. The limit value can be exercise time and exercise amount (consumption of calories). High-intensity exercise or training is not recommended. , long-term exercise, so after the limit value is set in the method developed by the inventor, it is judged during the game whether the exercise amount of the equipment is close to the limit value. If it is close to the limit value, the processor will start switching scenes and The main purpose of the game content is not to let the operator's exercise be excessive or tired.

Taking the above as an example, when the amount of exercise of the equipment of operator A is close to the limit value, the scene will show that most of the thieves have been caught, and unexpectedly there will be a ceremony of high-level praise (switching of sub-scenes), the operator only needs to cooperate with the selection Stepping on the flywheel, complete some small games praised by high-level officials, so that the body can slowly adjust to a more stable state, such as scene switching or game content changes.

In particular, the scene can be a virtual country or a well-known scene, mainly to provide different visual experiences.

Or, the game content can be varied, such as chasing sea monsters, waterwheel irrigation, swan boat races, water bicycle races, water motorcycle races, paraglider races, aerial rope shows, dragon boat races, canoe rowing, Underwater walking, etc. Obstacles, such as stones, branches, etc., can be arranged during the game.

In addition, it further includes a connection mode. When the connection mode is executed, an average value is set according to the physical parameters of all operators, and the average value is used to find the suitable scene and game content, so that each operator can They can start the operation at a more suitable starting point, and fine-tune the game content of each player according to the speed of achievement, physical parameters, gender, etc. in the process, so as to achieve the purpose of joint training.

In addition, the host can also record the exercise records of each operator. In addition to letting the operator know the exercise status with a list of time (daily, weekly or monthly), it can also set goals, and there will be corresponding rewards after reaching the goals. , For example, this game cooperates with a gym, as long as the daily goal is reached, the consumption can be discounted, or you can choose to provide free fitness class hours, etc.

The aforementioned virtual reality assisted movement method can be written as a computer program product, or written as a computer program and stored in a storage medium for reading by a computer or an electronic device, which can provide more flexible applications.

Please continue to refer to the third figure, which shows that when the sports equipment 2 is in the rowing machine state, the operator can operate the paddle through the cooperation of the left and right hands, and then complete the operation of the protagonist in the game. For example, it can be a dragon boat race , which is more in line with the characteristics of playing games with a rowing machine.

Please continue to refer to the fourth picture, which shows that when the sports equipment 2 is in the state of a treadmill, the operator can control the protagonist in the game to complete the task through the buttons on the handle and the speed of stepping on the track. For example It can be a treasure hunt in the seabed, and then the underwater world flashes through obstacles to find treasure.
