Method and apparatus for providing a guide for analyzing exercise video through a user terminal

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a guide for analyzing exercise video through a user terminal.

[0002] The following description merely provides background information related to an embodiment according to the present invention and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] With the increasing importance of health management for individuals in modern society, the demand for Personal Training (PT) services at gyms and similar venues has recently been skyrocketing. PT services refer to a system where a fitness expert provides direct, one-on-one instruction based on the individual's physical condition, desired fitness outcomes, and various other needs.

[0004] However, there was a fundamental problem in that receiving the service required visiting a gym or similar facility in person to exercise face-to-face with a professional for a set period, making it difficult for busy modern people to easily access due to time and spatial constraints, as well as being very expensive since the classes were conducted one-on-one.

[0005] As a result, many people choose to exercise alone, but often do so without knowing the proper methods, such as the type, style, and intensity of the exercises. Therefore, there is a need for a service that provides guidance information to correct incorrect practices and enable people to exercise correctly.

[0006] The present invention aims to analyze exercise video using a user terminal.

[0054] Next, second guide information for determining the user's position and posture for capturing the exercise video based on the location of the user terminal can be provided (S320).

[0055] The guide providing device can provide second guide information regarding the user's position and posture to the user terminal according to a preset exercise method for a selected exercise video.

[0056] FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart illustrating a method for providing a guide to analyze exercise video through a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 4, a method for providing a guide for analyzing an exercise video through a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention can first recognize the user at a first location, which is the location of the user according to the second guide information (S410).

[0058] Next, if the user is recognized, a first signal instructing the user to start exercising can be provided (S420).

[0059] Next, based on the exercise video received in real time, third guide information including real-time feedback on the exercise video can be provided to the user terminal (S430).

[0060] Next, when the recording of the exercise video is finished, a record according to a preset goal for the first exercise can be calculated as a measurement result (S440).

[0061] FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart illustrating a method for providing a guide to analyze exercise video through a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 5, a method for providing a guide for analyzing exercise video through a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention can first provide a measurement result for the first exercise category to the user terminal (S510).

[0063] Next, a record of the measurement result can be stored in the user information (S520).

[0064] At this time, the measurement result may include the user's records corresponding to the items included in the goal. In addition, it may include grades, percentiles, and rankings for the user's records.

[0065] According to one embodiment, a warning signal can be provided to the user depending on the position of the user terminal mounted to capture the exercise video.

[0066] Specifically, after the step of providing the first guide information, if the user terminal is shaken or tilted, a first warning signal indicating that the terminal position is inaccurate can be provided to the user terminal.

[0067] Here, if there is movement exceeding a preset level in the user terminal, the user terminal may provide a warning signal indicating shaking.

[0068] In addition, the tilt of the user terminal can be recognized through a gyroscope sensor included in the user terminal, and if the user terminal is tilted, a warning signal indicating that the user terminal is tilted can be provided.

[0069] Through this, it is possible to guide the user terminal to be properly mounted for recording exercise videos.

[0070] According to one embodiment, if the record measurer is unclear, a warning signal may be provided.

[0071] Specifically, after the step of recognizing the user, if the user is not recognized or multiple users are recognized, a second warning signal indicating that the record measurer is unclear may be provided to the user terminal.

[0072] Here, if the user is not recognized on the screen captured by the user terminal, a warning signal indicating that there is no record measurer can be provided.

[0073] In addition, if multiple users are detected on the screen captured by the user terminal, a warning signal indicating that the recording measurer is unclear may be provided.

[0074] This allows for accurate measurement of exercise records by preventing anyone other than the record measurer from being recognized on the screen.

[0075] According to one embodiment, if a user experiences a problem while performing a selected exercise, a warning signal can be provided to the user.

[0076] Specifically, when providing third guide information, if the user does not perform the exercise according to the preset exercise method for the first exercise category, a third warning signal indicating that there is a problem with the exercise performance may be provided to the user terminal.

[0077] First, if the first exercise requires repetitive actions and the user's position affects the measurement of exercise ability, a warning signal may be provided if the user moves out of the range of motion while performing the first exercise. In this case, the first exercise may include an exercise such as a shuttle run that involves repetitive left-right movement. A warning signal may also be provided if the user's movement is recognized but there is a problem with performance measurement.

[0078] Secondly, if the first exercise requires constant body awareness, a warning signal can be provided if a part of the body requiring recognition moves off-screen. This applies to all exercise types.

[0079] Thirdly, if the first exercise is one in which measurement must be completed by assuming a specific posture during the finishing phase of the exercise, a warning signal may be provided if the specific finishing posture is not assumed. In this case, the first exercise may include horizontal jumping exercises.

[0080] If the user receives a warning signal through the user terminal, they can perform the first exercise event again from the beginning.

[0081] Through this, it is possible to induce the user to perform the exercise according to the correct method for the first exercise selected.

[0082] According to one embodiment, by using the user's height, a record for a first exercise can be measured or an appropriate position for a target of the first exercise can be adjusted.

[0083] Specifically, the guide providing device can receive height information of the user from the user terminal.

[0084] At this time, when providing second guide information, the position of the user for capturing the exercise video can be determined using the height information, and the distance to be traveled by performing the first exercise can be determined.

[0085] When measuring a user's record for exercise disciplines involving back-and-forth movement over a certain distance, such as shuttle runs, side steps, and interactive exercises, guide information can be provided by determining the appropriate movement distance for the user using the user's height information.

[0086] In addition, if the first exercise is a sport that measures distance or height, the user's record can be measured using the height information.

[0087] When measuring a user's record in sports that measure distance or height, such as vertical jump, box jump, and long jump, the record can be measured using the user's height information.

[0088] Through this, records can be measured and guidance information provided in a customized manner based on the user's height.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, when providing third guide information, a voice guidance message may be provided to instruct the user to perform the exercise according to the correct method before providing a warning signal.

[0090] Specifically, if the user gradually moves out of the exercise range while performing the first exercise, a voice guidance message can be provided to adjust the user's position to exercise within the set exercise range.

[0091] For example, if the first exercise is a shuttle run involving repeated left and right movements, if the user turns around in the opposite direction without reaching a designated position, a voice guidance message requesting movement to the designated position can be provided.

[0092] According to one embodiment, guide information can be provided based on the user's position or posture within a screen capturing an exercise video.

[0093] Specifically, if the user is recognized at a second location different from the first location, a fourth guide information can be provided to guide the user to move to the first location.

[0094] For example, if the user is detected at a location other than the designated location, a fourth guide information requesting the user to move to the designated location may be provided.

[0095] Here, the fourth guide information may include at least one of a voice guidance message and an arrow display on the screen of the user terminal.

[0096] In addition, if the user is not preparing according to the user's posture based on the second guide information, a fifth guide information may be provided to guide the user to prepare according to the user's posture.

[0097] For example, if the user is preparing in a posture other than the designated posture, a fifth guide information requesting the user to prepare in the designated posture may be provided.

[0098] Here, the fifth guide information may include at least one of a voice guidance message and a guidance message displayed on a user terminal.

[0099] As an optional embodiment, when used by multiple users, a waiting step for distinguishing each user may be included.

[0100] Specifically, after receiving a selection input for the first exercise category, a waiting phase may be activated. At this time, multiple users may enter a QR code or user code corresponding to each user.

[0101] Through this, multiple users can be distinguished individually, and records for the first exercise category can be measured and stored in the user information.

[0102] As an optional embodiment, if a user's gesture is recognized, a predetermined action can be performed according to the gesture.

[0103] Specifically, if the user recognizes a first gesture requesting the suspension of record measurement through the user terminal while performing the first exercise, the record measurement can be suspended and the user can return to the exercise start waiting stage.

[0104] In addition, if the user recognizes a second gesture requesting a switch to a voice input state through the user terminal while performing the first exercise, the record measurement can be stopped and the user's voice can be recognized by switching to a voice input state.

[0105] This offers the advantage of allowing users to stop record measurement using a designated gesture from their current location without having to move to the user terminal, in cases where the user is injured or struggling to measure the record. Additionally, it enables the control of the user terminal via voice input without the need to move to the terminal.

[0106] As an optional embodiment, the user's posture for the first exercise category can be evaluated to calculate a score.

[0107] Specifically, the guide providing device can analyze exercise videos using artificial intelligence learning data.

[0108] Next, a posture score corresponding to the user's posture can be calculated for the exercise video.

[0109] At this time, a posture score can be calculated by comparing the most correct posture in the first exercise category with the user's measured posture in the exercise video.

[0110] Next, based on the calculated posture score and the user's record, an exercise score for the first exercise category can be calculated.

[0111] Next, based on the exercise scores of other users for the first exercise category, the grade and rank of the user's exercise score can be calculated.
