The controller 180 displays the measured exercise time and heart rate in real time through the display unit 120. 7 (b) is a view showing the exercise time spent in the running exercise and the heart rate of the user measured during the running exercise, when a running exercise event is selected in the exercise schedule of the day.

Next, the controller 180 receives the exercise end signal from the input unit 150 (S607). For example, a user who has performed the running exercise for 20 minutes presses the stop button 730 to input to the controller 180 of the portable exercise amount measuring apparatus 100 that the exercise of the corresponding item is finished. Then, the controller 180 of the portable exercise amount measuring apparatus 100 deactivates the sensing unit 160 and stops driving of the timer 140. In addition, the controller 180 stores the exercise amount information including the exercise item, the exercise time of the exercise item, and the exercise state data measured when the exercise item is executed (that is, the user's heart rate) in the memory card 600 (S609). ).

Subsequently, the controller 180 checks whether all of the exercise items included in the exercise schedule of the day are finished, and waits for a selection signal of another exercise item if not finished (S611). That is, the controller 180 checks whether the exercise amount of the exercise schedule of the day has been achieved, and if not, waits for a selection signal of another exercise item input from the user. On the other hand, when all of the exercise items included in the exercise schedule of the day is finished, the controller 180 measures the exercise time and the user's exercise state data for each exercise item measured on the day and stored in the memory card 600 (that is, The daily exercise amount information including the average heart rate) is transmitted to the exercise management server 200 (S613). At this time, the controller 180 includes the user identification information read from the memory card in the exercise amount information on the day and transmits it to the exercise management server 200.

On the other hand, the input unit 150 may receive a pause signal from the user performing the exercise and transmit it to the controller 180. That is, the user during exercise selects the pause button 720 among the plurality of buttons implemented in the portable exercise amount measuring apparatus 100, so that the controller 180 of the portable exercise amount measuring apparatus 100 indicates that the current exercise is suspended. You can type in Then, the controller 180 stops the heart rate measurement by deactivating the sensing unit 160, and also stops the exercise time measurement by stopping the driving of the timer 140. When the exercise restart signal 710 is input from the input unit 150, the controller 180 reactivates the sensing unit 160 and restarts the timer 140 to exercise time and heart rate of the user. Resume the measurement.

In addition, the input unit 150 may receive the same day exercise end signal from the user who does not completely digest the same day exercise schedule and transmit the same to the controller 180. That is, the user may perform a part of the day's exercise amount, and then input a command for transmitting the day's exercise amount to the portable exercise amount measuring apparatus 100 to the exercise management server 200. In this case, the controller 180 extracts the exercise time and the average heart rate per minute for each exercise item that the user has performed in part from the memory card 600 and transmits it to the exercise management server 200.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of receiving and storing exercise amount information of a user in the exercise management server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the wireless communication unit 210 of the exercise management server 200 receives the exercise amount information including the exercise time and the average heart rate per minute for each exercise item performed by the user from the portable exercise amount measuring apparatus 100. (S801). The exercise amount information includes user identification information. The exercise information manager 240 extracts the exercise time and the average heart rate of each item included in the exercise amount information, and stores the extracted exercise time and the average heart rate in the corresponding field of the database 300 so as to correspond to the user identification information. do.

Subsequently, the exercise information manager 240 calculates the amount of heat consumed for each exercise item by using the following formula and records it in the consumed calorie field 315 (S803).

Equation 1

In Equation 1, the exercise event constant refers to an operation value applied differently for each exercise item, and the gender constant refers to an operation value applied differently according to a man and a woman. In addition, the exercise device load is the weight value (Kg) of the exercise device lifted by the user, such as a barbell, bench press, etc., the exercise speed represents the exercise speed value (h / km) performed by the user, such as running.

When the exercise information management unit 240 calculates and stores consumed calories for each item, the exercise amount prescription unit 250 checks whether the corresponding user has achieved the exercise target index (S805). Here, the target exercise index may be a total monthly calorie target value (for example, 5000 Kcal) or a monthly total exercise time target (for example, 1200 minutes). That is, the exercise amount prescribing unit 250 checks the total monthly calorie consumption or monthly total exercise time of the user in the database 300, and provides the user as an exercise target for one month based on the total calories consumed or the total monthly exercise time. Check whether the provided exercise schedule is completely achieved by the user. When the user achieves the predetermined target exercise amount, the exercise amount prescribing unit 250 automatically regenerates the exercise schedule of the user and updates data in the exercise schedule field 312 (S807). Alternatively, the exercise amount prescribing unit 250 notifies that the user has achieved the target exercise amount according to the exercise schedule by an e-mail of the health trainer in charge, and receives a new exercise schedule of the user from the health trainer in charge of the exercise schedule field 312. You can also update.

On the other hand, the user can access the exercise management server 200 through the Internet, and can check their exercise information. Specifically, the Internet communication unit 270 of the exercise management server 200 receives a user login request message, and the web service provider 260 authenticates whether the user has successfully logged in on the basis of the user information of the database 300. Then, the exercise history information of the user who successfully logged in is transmitted to the user terminal 500.

9 is a diagram illustrating exercise history information of a user provided by the exercise management server 200.

Referring to FIG. 9, the web service provider 260 may transmit the monthly exercise history information as shown in FIG. 9A to the terminal 500 of the user who has successfully logged in in the form of a markup language. The monthly exercise history information includes monthly total exercise time and total calories burned information. In addition, when a specific date is selected from the monthly exercise history information, the web service provider 260 extracts detailed exercise information performed on the date from the database 300, and extracts the extracted exercise information in the form of markup language. The conversion is transmitted to the terminal 500 of the user. FIG. 9B shows exercise information recommended to the user on October 1, 2009, and exercise information performed by the user (ie, average heart rate, exercise time, calories burned).

As described above, the present invention helps the user's exercise life by storing and managing the exercise information performed by the user. In particular, when the external memory card 600 is attached to the portable exercise device 100, the present invention reads user identification information from the external memory card 600 and sets the portable exercise device 100 to the user ID information. By switching to the dedicated mode for the corresponding user, there is an advantage to enable all users to use the portable exercise device 600 universally.

In addition, the present invention provides the user with a daily exercise schedule to allow the user to perform a systematic exercise amount and exercise event. In particular, the present invention provides a new exercise schedule to the user when the user is provided with the exercise schedule to achieve the target exercise amount presented for a certain period of time, thereby providing a new exercise schedule to the user to perform the enhanced exercise amount according to the exercise schedule, the user It has the effect of further improving the stamina of the. In addition, the present invention is performed on behalf of the exercise management service provided by the fitness trainer (that is, attendance check, checking the amount of exercise of the user, etc.), which not only saves labor force of the fitness trainer but also improves the service satisfaction of the user who visits the fitness center. There is also an advantage.
