Further, the billing server 28 may execute a payment process for the corresponding creator according to the result of obtaining the video program and the evaluation value of the video program.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration of the exercise support system 30 according to the present embodiment. The exercise support system 30 is provided in the corresponding room 20.

In the room 20, the user 40 exercises at a predetermined exercise position. For example, a reference mark 42 indicating the exercise position of the user 40 is drawn on the floor of the room 20.

The exercise support system 30 includes a mirror 44, a display unit 46, an imaging unit 48, a speaker 50, a computer 52, and an illumination unit 54.

The mirror 44 is attached to one wall of the room 20 as an example. The mirror 44 may be provided integrally with the wall.

The mirror 44 reflects the appearance of the user 40 moving at a predetermined position (for example, the position of the reference mark 42). Then, the mirror 44 shows the reflected image 66 of the user 40 to the user 40. Thereby, the user 40 can confirm his / her operation by moving toward the direction of the mirror 44.

The display unit 46 has a display surface 56 arranged at a position facing the mirror 44 with the user 40 in between. The display unit 46 displays the acquired video program on the display surface 56. The display image displayed on the display surface 56 is reflected by the mirror 44 and visually given to the user 40 who is exercising at a predetermined position.

Therefore, the display unit 46 can reflect the video program displayed on the display surface 56 to the mirror 44 and show the user 40 a reflected image of the video program. Thereby, the user 40 can move while looking at the reflection image of the video program by moving toward the mirror 44 at a predetermined position.

In the present embodiment, the display unit 46 displays, as a video program, a moving image obtained by capturing an instructor who instructs exercise. Therefore, the display unit 46 can display the display image 68 of the instructor on the display surface 56 by displaying the video program on the display surface 56.

Then, the display image 68 of the instructor displayed on the display surface 56 is reflected by the mirror 44. Therefore, a reflected image 70 that reflects the display image 68 of the instructor is reflected on the mirror 44. Thereby, the user 40 can exercise while viewing the reflection image 70 of the instructor.

It should be noted that the display unit 46 may display a moving image obtained by capturing another user other than the user 40 as a video program. Thereby, the user 40 can feel as if he / she is exercising with other users.

In the present embodiment, the display unit 46 includes a display surface 56 and a projector 58. The display surface 56 is disposed at a position facing the mirror 44 with the user 40 in between. The display surface 56 is a monotone plate or wall such as white.

The projector 58 projects a video program on the display surface 56. The projector 58 can easily scale the position and size of the image projected on the display surface 56. Therefore, according to such a display unit 46, the display image can be easily moved or enlarged / reduced.

Note that the display unit 46 may have a flat panel display instead of the projector 58. In this case, the flat panel display is attached to, for example, a wall at a position facing the wall in the room 20 where the mirror 44 is provided.

Further, the display unit 46 adjusts the position of the display image 68 of the leader displayed on the display surface 56 so that the reflected image 70 of the leader and the reflected image 66 of the user can be seen at different positions on the mirror 44. The As an example, the display unit 46 adjusts the position of the display image 68 of the leader so that the reflected image 70 of the leader and the reflected image 66 of the user are arranged side by side on the mirror 44. Thereby, the display part 46 can show the user 40 the whole figure of a leader reliably.

As an example, the display unit 46 adjusts the position of the display image 68 of the instructor by changing the projection position of the image by the projector 58 according to the operation of the user. Further, when the display unit 46 has a flat panel display, the position of the display image 68 of the instructor is adjusted by sliding the display screen in the left-right direction in accordance with a user operation.

In addition, the display unit 46 displays the display image 68 of the instructor displayed on the display surface 56 so that the reflection image 70 of the instructor and the reflection image 66 of the user 40 appear to be approximately the same size on the mirror 44. The size of is adjusted. Thereby, the display part 46 can make the user 40 feel like the leader is exercising in the same room.

As an example, the display unit 46 adjusts the size of the display image 68 of the instructor by changing the enlargement ratio of the video by the projector 58 according to the operation of the user. When the display unit 46 has a flat panel display, the display image 68 of the instructor is adjusted in size by changing the display magnification of the display screen in accordance with the user's operation.

The imaging unit 48 images the user 40 who exercises at a predetermined position. As an example, the imaging unit 48 images the user 40 from the front (mirror 44 side). Thereby, the imaging part 48 can record the image which imaged the user 40 as a video program, or can be transmitted to the other room 20 as a video program.

Speaker 50 outputs sound together with the display of the video program. As an example, the speaker 50 outputs music and the voice of the instructor.

The computer 52 acquires the video program selected by the user 40 from the program server 22 via the network 12. Then, the computer 52 causes the display unit 46 to output the acquired video program. Further, the computer 52 outputs sound from the speaker 50 together with the output of the acquired video program. In addition, when the evaluation of the video program is input by the user 40 after the output of the video program is completed, the computer 52 transmits the input evaluation to the evaluation server 26.

The illumination unit 54 irradiates the user 40 with light. Thereby, the imaging unit 48 can image the user 40 with high luminance.

Further, when the display unit 46 includes the display surface 56 and the projector 58, the illumination unit 54 increases the amount of light irradiated to the user 40 than the amount of light irradiated to the display surface 56. For example, the illumination unit 54 makes the display surface 56 and the periphery of the display surface 56 darker than a predetermined luminance. Thereby, the illumination unit 54 can make it easy for the user 40 to view the video image projected by the projector 58. In FIG. 2, the illumination unit 54 is provided on the upper side of the mirror 44. However, the illumination unit 54 is not limited to the upper side of the mirror 44 and may be provided at a number of locations in the room 20.

As described above, the exercise support system 30 allows the user 40 to perform an exercise while looking at the mirror 44, thereby simultaneously confirming the operation of the user 40 and the operation of another user (for example, a leader). Thereby, according to the exercise | movement assistance system 30, it can be made to feel like exercising with the other user (for example, leader) which does not actually exist. As a result, according to the exercise support system 30, it is possible to provide a sense of exercising with a large number of people even when the exercise support system 30 is provided in a relatively small space. Moreover, according to the exercise support system 30, even if a leader is not resident, it is possible to exercise under the guidance of the leader.

By the way, humans exercise using neural patterns that pass through synapses from neurons to neurons. A person who has many such neural patterns is said to have a better motor sense.

Here, as for athletic ability, not only physique and physical strength, but also the positioning ability to move the body to the correct position, the timing ability to control the force at the right time, and the grading to adjust the power to the right strength and speed Includes abilities, as well as agility to quickly start and switch movements. In movement, it is important to correct the movement and confirm that it can move correctly using a feedback path of intention → motor center → motor nerve → muscle → sensory center → intention.

In the conventional exercise facility, the user performs exercise by checking the movement of the instructor from various distances and directions. For this reason, in a conventional exercise facility, depending on the positional relationship with the leader, it is difficult to confirm the difference between the action of the leader and his own action. Therefore, in the conventional exercise facility, it may be difficult to improve the above-described exercise ability.

In contrast, the exercise support system 30 can confirm the difference in operation between the instructor and the user 40 via the mirror 44. On the mirror 44, the user 40 and the instructor are facing the same direction. Therefore, according to the exercise support system 30, the user 40 can check the movement of the instructor in a state close to his / her own movement, so that the above-described exercise ability can be improved efficiently. Furthermore, according to the exercise support system 30, since the user 40 can confirm the movement of the instructor in the same direction at any time, the exercise ability can always be improved efficiently.

Also, the movement of the body can be confirmed, for example, by wearing special clothes and attaching a sensor to each part of the body and exercising and capturing the sensor value into a computer. However, it is considered that the positioning ability, timing ability and grading ability will lead to the improvement of the ability if the operation is confirmed while wearing normal clothes. The exercise support system 30 can perform exercise while wearing normal clothes. Therefore, according to the exercise support system 30, the positioning ability, the timing ability, and the grading ability can be improved more efficiently than when exercising with the sensor attached.

In this case, the cooperation server 24 does not display the video image of the second user 102 on the display units 46 of the first room 20-1 and the third room 20-3. Further, in this case, the cooperation server 24 does not display the video of the third user 104 on the display unit 46 of the second room 20-2, or stores the video of the third user 104 and instructs the instructor. Similarly to 100 images, the images may be displayed on the display unit 46 of the second room 20-2 with a delay.

When the cooperation server 24 acquires and stores the video of the instructor 100, the exercise support system 30 in the second room 20-2 sends the video of the instructor 100 to the second user 102. The playback speed may be changed. Then, the linkage server 24 changes the stored video playback speed of the instructor 100 according to the setting of the second user 102 who exercises in the second room 20-2. Thereby, according to the network system 10, the exercise speed of the instructor 100 can be matched with the exercise speed of the second user 102.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the evaluation value of the video program managed by the evaluation server 26 according to this embodiment. For example, the evaluation server 26 classifies and manages video programs created by a leader or the like for each leader. Then, the evaluation server 26 stores an evaluation value representing the evaluation of the video program for each video program.

Each user can refer to the evaluation value of each video program using, for example, a computer. Thereby, the user can select a video program with good evaluation.

The evaluation server 26 updates the evaluation value for each video program according to the result of the user's exercise referring to the video program. For example, the evaluation server 26 requests an input of an evaluation value from a user who exercises while watching each video program. Then, the evaluation server 26 changes the evaluation value of the video program according to information input by a user who has exercised while watching the video program.

More specifically, for example, the evaluation server 26 requests the user who has exercised while watching each video program to input the weight. When the exercise support system 30 includes a weight measurement device, the evaluation server 26 may automatically acquire the weight of the user after exercise from the weight measurement device. Then, the evaluation server 26 calculates the transition of the weight of the user who exercised by reproducing the same video program a plurality of times, and changes the evaluation value of the video program according to the calculated transition of the weight.

Also, for example, the evaluation server 26 requests input of a movable range of a joint such as a shoulder and a hip joint of a user who exercises by watching each video program. When the exercise support system 30 includes a measuring device for the movable range of the user's joint, the movable range of the user's joint after the exercise may be automatically acquired from the measuring device. Then, the evaluation server 26 calculates the transition of the movable range of the joint of the user who exercised by reproducing the same video program a plurality of times, and changes the evaluation value of the video program according to the calculated transition of the movable range.

Further, for example, the evaluation server 26 acquires a video image of a user who has exercised by watching a video program. Subsequently, the evaluation server 26 calculates the degree of approximation between the motion of the user who exercised by playing the video program and the motion of the user to be recommended by the video program, based on the captured user video. Then, the evaluation server 26 calculates the transition of the degree of approximation of the user who has played and exercised the same video program a plurality of times, and changes the evaluation value of the video program according to the calculated transition of the degree of approximation.

Thus, according to the network system 10, the video program can be appropriately evaluated. Furthermore, according to the network system 10, the video program having a high evaluation value can be selected by the user by disclosing the evaluation value of the video program.
