[0061] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.
[0062] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.
[0063] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0064] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0065] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0066] In addition, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are used herein to distinguish components or regions with the same name, and these ordinal numbers do not limit the importance or existing order of these components or regions.
[0067] In order to break through the time and space limitations of current fitness training pointed out by the background technology, the present disclosure provides a fitness guidance system, with the help of which users can experience one-on-one private training fitness training anytime and anywhere according to their own needs.
[0068] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the fitness guidance system of the present disclosure includes at least a display element, an image acquisition device, and a trigger device, and the display element, the image acquisition device, and the trigger device are communicatively connected.
[0069] The trigger device is configured to trigger an operation to send a start signal to the display element.
[0070] It should be noted that the trigger device can be integrated into the display element. For example, the trigger device is a switch button integrated into the display element, and the user only needs to manually press the switch button to send a start signal or a stop signal to the display element. For another example, the trigger device can also be a touch button integrated into the display element.
[0071] Of course, the trigger device can also be provided independently of the display element, with the two being connected via wired or wireless communication. For example, the trigger device can be a remote control, and the user can simply operate a control button on the remote control to generate an activation signal or an inactivation signal to the display element. For another example, the trigger device can be a training blanket, similar to a yoga mat, configured to transmit an activation signal to the display element when stepped on.
[0072] In this way, when training, the user only needs to stand and step on the training mat to automatically send a start signal to the display element, without the user having to free up his hands to perform the corresponding trigger operation, thereby improving the user experience.
[0073] Of course, the trigger device can also be a wearable device, such as a sports bracelet, and the user can send a start signal to the display element through manual or voice triggering operations.
[0074] The image acquisition device is configured to capture the content of a capture area, wherein it should be noted that the capture area generally refers to the user's training area, such as the area where the training mat is placed, and is based on the ability to capture images of the user during training.
[0075] The image acquisition device can be a camera integrated on the display element, or it can be set independently of the display element, and the two are then connected in a wired or wireless communication manner so that the image acquisition element sends image information to the display element.
[0076] The display element may be a display screen in a common sense that only has a display function, or it may be any user terminal with a display function, such as a television, a computer, a mobile phone, or the like.
[0077] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the display element of the present disclosure includes a first display area and a second display area, and is configured to display first display content in the first display area and second display content in the second display area in response to a start signal sent by a triggering device, wherein the first display content includes guidance information and the second display content includes training information formed based on content captured by an image capture device.
[0078] Obviously, when users use the fitness guidance system disclosed in the present invention to exercise, they can exercise on their own according to the guidance information, and can see their own training information in the second display area. They can adjust their exercise posture in time based on the training information to make it as close as possible to the requirements of the guidance information. Basically, they can achieve the effect of training under the guidance of a fitness coach in the gym, breaking through the time and space limitations required for gym training, and increasing the user's freedom in fitness training.
[0079] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the first display area of the present disclosure is located on the left side of the display area of the display element, and the second display area is located on the right side of the display area of the display element.
[0080] With this setting, the user sees guidance information in the left display area during training, and sees his own training information in the right display area, which is more in line with the human perspective observation habits, thereby further improving the user experience.
[0081] Of course, the first display area and the second display area can also be located at the upper and lower parts of the display element, respectively. In addition, the order of the first display area and the second display area on the display element can also be reversed, as long as the application scenario of the fitness guidance system is consistent with the user's usage habits. This disclosure does not limit this.
[0082] The guidance information includes at least one of the following: the name of the training program, the training timer, the breathing rhythm, a text description of the training requirements, a graphic description of the training requirements, and a guided movement video. In other words, the guidance information may include any one of the above information, any combination of any two or all of the above information.
[0083] For example, see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first display area is divided into two sub-display areas on the left and right. The left sub-display area displays the name of the training item, breathing rhythm, text description of the training points and image description of the training points in order from top to bottom, and the right sub-display area displays the coach's guidance action image.
[0084] For example: when the training project is alternating side lunges, the breathing rhythm is to inhale when squatting down and exhale when squatting up. The text description of the training points is the quadriceps and gluteus maximus, and the image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.
[0085] For example: when the training project is Cossack squat, the breathing rhythm is to inhale when squatting and exhale when exerting force. The text description of the training points is the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. The image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.
[0086] For example: when the training project is squats, the breathing rhythm is to inhale when squatting and exhale when standing up. The text description of the training points is the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. The image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.
[0087] For example: when the training item is to bend the arms forward and circle the shoulder joints, the breathing rhythm is natural breathing, and the text description of the training points is the shoulder joints.
[0088] For example: when the training project is the lucky cat, the breathing rhythm is to exhale when the forearm is moving upward and inhale when it is lowering. The text description of the training points is the rotator cuff muscles and shoulder joints, and the image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the rotator cuff muscles and shoulder joints.
[0089] For example: when the training project is to bend the knees and tighten the abdomen, the breathing rhythm is to inhale when extending the legs and exhale when tightening the legs. The text description of the training points is the upper abdomen and lower abdomen, and the image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the upper abdomen and lower abdomen.
[0090] For example: when the training project is plank support, the breathing rhythm is natural breathing, the text description of the training points is the upper abdomen and lower abdomen, and the image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the upper abdomen and lower abdomen.
[0091] For example: when the training project is left side support and arm raising, the breathing rhythm is to exhale when raising the arm and inhale when lowering it. The text description of the training points is the side abdomen and middle shoulder bundle. The image description of the training points uses colors different from other parts of the human body to highlight the side abdomen and middle shoulder bundle.
[0092] Continue to see Figure 3 The training information in the second display area includes at least one of the following information: training movement count, fat consumption, heart rate, and training movement images. Similarly, the training information can include one of the above information, a combination of at least two of the above information, or all of the above information.
[0093] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the upper area of the second display area displays the user's training action image, and the lower area displays information such as action count, fat consumption, and heart rate.
[0094] Furthermore, the training information also includes identification information of the action reference point corresponding to the training item and identification information of the reference area when the training reaches the standard.
[0095] Among them, the action reference point corresponding to the training item refers to a reference point for judging the amplitude of the human body movement change when the user performs the training item. Specifically, in one embodiment, the processor of this system calculates the amount of training activity based on the human body skeletal points, calculates the human body orientation based on the human body skeletal points, and calculates the posture similarity based on the human body skeletal points, so as to derive that different training items select one or several skeletal points of the human body as action reference points, and in this embodiment, a dot is used as its identification information. It should be noted that the processor of this system calculates the amount of training activity based on the human body skeletal points, which is mainly suitable for fat burning course training.
[0096] Accordingly, the reference area for achieving training goals refers to the area where the selected action reference point should reach when performing the corresponding training program to achieve the goal. In this embodiment, the circular area with the action reference point as the center is used as its identification information. Of course, the identification information can also be a point. Of course, the selection of the action reference point needs to correspond to the training program to achieve the best guidance effect for the user's training.
[0097] for example:
[0098] When the training item is alternating side lunges, the selected movement reference point is the knee joint.
[0099] When the training item is Cossack squat, the selected movement reference point is the knee joint.
[0100] When the training item is squat, the reference point of the action is the middle hip;
[0101] When the training item is to flex the arms and circle the shoulder joints forward, the selected action reference points are the left elbow joint and the right elbow joint;
[0102] When the training item is the lucky cat, the selected action reference points are the left wrist joint and the right wrist joint;
[0103] When the training item is knee flexion and abdominal contraction, the selected reference point of the movement is the knee joint;
[0104] When the training item is plank support, the selected action reference points are shoulder joint, wrist joint and hip joint;
[0105] When the training item is side support arm raising, the selected movement reference point is the hip joint.
[0106] With this setting, when the user exercises, the identification information of his action reference point also moves in real time toward the identification information of the reference area as the human body moves. When the identification information of the action reference point reaches the identification information of the reference area, it means that the user's action for the training item meets the standard, thereby guiding the user's exercise action to be as close to the standard action as possible, achieving better training results.
[0107] Furthermore, in order to more intuitively display whether the user's training movements meet the standards, the training information of the display element disclosed herein also includes a first prompt signal and a second prompt signal, wherein the first prompt signal is configured to display the identification information of the movement reference point reaching the identification information of the reference area at the end of an movement, indicating that the user's training movements have met the standards.
[0108] Specifically, the first prompt signal includes at least one of an image signal, a text signal, and a voice signal.
[0109] Among them, the image signal can be a positive judgment indicator displayed when the identification information of the action reference point reaches the identification information of the reference area for training, or the image signal is a positive judgment indicator and is highlighted with a first display effect. The first display effect can be to highlight the positive judgment indicator with a green circle or to highlight the positive judgment indicator symbol in green or to highlight the positive judgment indicator in bold or black, etc., as long as the image signal can be sufficiently eye-catching in the display area so that the user can perceive it intuitively.
[0110] Specifically, the positive judgment indicator can be presented as a "check mark (√)" symbol, or as a "thumbs-up" symbol. Of course, this article only provides two examples of presenting the positive judgment indicator, but is not limited to this.
[0111] Text signals remind users with text in the display area, such as "You have reached the standard", "You are great", etc., which clearly remind users that the action has reached the standard.
[0112] The voice signal is played out by using a speaker or other sound-generating element to allow users to intuitively and quickly understand whether the training items meet the standards.
[0113] Likewise, the second prompt signal includes at least one of an image signal, a text signal, and a voice signal.
[0114] Among them, the image signal can be that when the identification information of the user's action reference point does not reach the identification information of the reference area that meets the training standards after the user completes an action training, the boundary line of the reference area is highlighted with a second display effect. The second display effect can be to highlight the boundary line with a more eye-catching color such as red, orange, yellow, etc., as long as the image signal can be eye-catching enough in the display area for the user to perceive it intuitively.
[0115] Text signals remind users with text in the display area, such as "You have not yet reached the standard", "Try again", etc., to clearly remind users that the action has reached the standard.
[0116] The voice signal is played out by using a speaker or other sound-generating element to allow users to intuitively and quickly understand whether the training items meet the standards.
[0117] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the display element of the fitness guidance system of the present disclosure only displays the first prompt signal or the second prompt signal, which is specifically set according to user requirements and preferences.
[0118] Continue to see Figure 4 In one embodiment, between two consecutive training programs, the first display area is configured to display a rest prompt signal to remind the user that it is currently rest time so that the user can prevent muscle relaxation.
[0119] Specifically, the rest reminder signal includes at least the rest time between two consecutive training items. The rest time can be counted in a positive manner or in a countdown manner. The user can also set the timing method according to his or her preferences, which is not limited in this article.
[0120] In addition, the rest prompt signal can also include motivational quotes. The motivational quotes disclosed herein can include famous quotes, poems, online article excerpts, etc. that can make users feel happy and relaxed after reading them. Of course, users can also set the content of the motivational quotes themselves.
[0121] Continue to see Figure 4 Between two training items, the second display area is configured to display the name of the next training item.
[0122] In this way, users can learn the name of the next training program during the rest time so as to be mentally and physically prepared for the next training program.
[0123] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in a rest scenario between two consecutive training items, the corresponding rest prompt signal mentioned above is displayed only in the first display area, or the corresponding rest prompt signal mentioned above is displayed only in the second display area.
[0124] Continue to see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the fitness guidance system of the present invention further includes a processor, which is communicatively connected to the display element, the image acquisition device, and the trigger device, and the processor is configured to obtain guidance information and training information, compare the actions of the guidance information and the actions of the training information, and output the comparison results.
[0125] Specifically, the processor of the present disclosure may be integrated on the display element, or may be independently provided with the display element, and the two may be connected to each other in a wired or wireless communication manner.
[0126] Based on the name of the training project displayed in the guidance information and the user image captured by the image acquisition device, the processor derives the action reference point corresponding to the training project and the reference area when the action of the training project meets the standard. Then, based on the continuous adjustment of the posture of the human body in the image during the training process, the processor judges whether the action reference point reaches the reference area, and outputs the training result of whether the training action meets the standard based on the judgment result.
[0127] Specifically, if the human body continuously adjusts its posture during a training movement until its movement reference point falls into or reaches the reference area, a training result indicating that the training movement has met the standard is output. Conversely, if the human body continuously adjusts its posture during a training movement but its movement reference point never falls into or reaches the reference area, a training result indicating that the training movement has not met the standard is output.
[0128] The processor disclosed herein includes but is not limited to a storage unit and a processing unit. The processing unit and the storage unit are connected via a bus, and the database is used to store data.
[0129] The processor also includes an access unit that enables the processor to communicate via one or more networks. Examples of these networks include a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a personal area network (PAN), or a combination of communication networks such as the Internet. Access device 640 may include one or more of any type of network interface (e.g., a network interface card (NIC)) of wired or wireless, such as an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) wireless interface, a World Wide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wi-MAX) interface, an Ethernet interface, a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a cellular network interface, a Bluetooth interface, a near field communication (NFC) interface, and the like.
[0130] The processor can be any type of stationary or mobile computing device, including a mobile computer or mobile computing device (e.g., a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, etc.), a mobile phone (e.g., a smartphone), a wearable computing device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart glasses, etc.), or other types of mobile devices, or a stationary computing device such as a desktop computer or a PC. The processor can also be a mobile or stationary server. The processor is configured to implement the steps of the image processing method when executing computer-executable instructions.
[0131] Specifically, the processor calculates the amount of training activity based on the human skeleton points, calculates the human body orientation based on the human skeleton points, and calculates the posture similarity based on the human skeleton points, so as to derive different training items from selecting one or several human skeleton points as action reference points and reference areas when the training actions meet the standards.
[0132] Finally, it should be noted that the fitness guidance system disclosed herein may also include a wearable device, which is at least communicatively connected to the display element and is configured to collect the wearer's physical information, including heart rate, blood pressure and other information parameters that can characterize the physiological characteristics of the human body.
[0133] In order to better understand the working principle of the fitness guidance system disclosed in the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 , and give detailed instructions in conjunction with a specific training program.
[0134] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 When the training item is squat, the guidance information displayed in the first display area and the training information displayed in the second display area are in the preparatory posture.
[0135] In detail, the guidance information displayed in the first display area includes: training project name: squats; breathing rhythm: inhale when squatting, exhale when standing up; text description of training points: quadriceps and gluteus maximus; image description of training points: using two human body pictures with dark highlighting to show the specific positions of the quadriceps and gluteus maximus; image of the coach's training movements.
[0136] The training information displayed in the second display area includes: the user's image; identification information 10 (marked by a dot) of the action reference point (mid-buttocks) for comparing whether the training action meets the standard; and identification information 11 (marked by a circle with a preset radius value) of the reference area that the identification information 10 of the action reference point should reach when the training action meets the standard; and a line connecting the centers of the identification information 10 of the action reference point and the identification information 11 of the reference area, i.e., the action tracking line 12.
[0137] It should be noted that the image of the user may be a real-life image of the user, or may be a simulated virtual human model of the user, such as presenting the image of the user in the form of a stick figure.
[0138] After the user starts exercising, as his training posture changes, the identification information 10 of the action reference point moves along the action tracking line 12 toward the identification information 11 of the reference area. When the identification information 10 of the action reference point moves to the area within the identification information 11 of the reference area, that is, Figure 6 When the training action is in the state shown, it means that the training action has met the standard, and the center of the circle of the reference area identification information 11 is highlighted with a green check mark (√). Conversely, when the user's training action ends, if the identification information 10 of the action reference point does not reach the area of the reference area identification information 11, it means that the training action has not met the standard. At this time, the circular boundary line of the reference area identification information 11 is highlighted in red to remind the user.
[0139] When the number of action counts displayed in the second display area reaches the number specified in the guidance information, the first display area is configured to display a rest reminder signal, which includes the rest duration and motivational quotes; the second display area is also configured to display the name of the next training item and the user's image information.
[0140] The above training items all involve an action reference point. In order to fully understand the working principle of the fitness guidance system disclosed in the present invention, the following reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , and further explanation will be given in conjunction with training programs involving two movement reference points.
[0141] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 When the training item is a lucky cat, the guidance information displayed in the first display area and the training information displayed in the second display area are in a preparatory posture.
[0142] In detail, the guidance information displayed in the first display area includes: name of the training project: Lucky Cat; breathing rhythm: exhale during the upward movement of the forearm, and inhale during the downward movement; text description of the key training points: rotator cuff muscles, shoulder joint; graphic description of the key training points: using two human body pictures with dark highlighting to show the specific positions of the rotator cuff muscles and shoulder joint; images of the coach's training movements.
[0143] The training information displayed in the second display area includes: the user's image; identification information 10 (marked by a dot) of two action reference points (the elbow joint of the left arm and the elbow joint of the right arm) for comparing whether the training action meets the standard; and identification information 11 (marked by a circle with a preset radius value) of the reference area that the identification information 10 of the action reference point should reach when the training action meets the standard; the line connecting the center of the circle of the identification information 10 of the action reference point and the identification information 11 of the reference area, that is, the action tracking line 12.
[0144] After the user starts exercising, as the forearm moves up and down, the identification information 10 of the action reference point moves along the action tracking line 12 toward the identification information 11 of the reference area. When the identification information 10 of the action reference point moves to the area within the identification information 11 of the reference area, that is, Figure 8 When the training action is in the state shown, it means that the training action has met the standard, and the center of the circle of the reference area identification information 11 is highlighted with a green check mark (√). Conversely, when the user's training action ends, if the identification information 10 of the action reference point does not reach the area of the reference area identification information 11, it means that the training action has not met the standard. At this time, the circular boundary line of the reference area identification information 11 is highlighted in red to remind the user.
[0145] Since in this embodiment, the second display area displays the identification information 10 of two action reference points, namely the left arm elbow joint and the right arm elbow joint, the two identification information corresponding to the left arm and the right arm independent tracking action tracking lines 12 respectively display whether the identification information of their respective corresponding reference areas is reached, and then the comparison results of whether the two arms meet the standards are given respectively.
[0146] When the number of action counts displayed in the second display area reaches the number specified in the guidance information, the first display area is configured to display a rest reminder signal, which includes the rest duration and motivational quotes; the second display area is also configured to display the name of the next training item and the user's image information.
[0147] It should be noted that this article only introduces the content displayed by the display components under one training item. When exercising different training items, the action reference points and corresponding reference areas selected by the system will also be different, but the principle of judging whether the training action meets the standards based on the positional relationship between the action reference points and the reference areas is the same. Those skilled in the art can understand this based on the introduction of the squat training item, and this article will not go into details here.
[0148] In order to fully understand the working principle of the fitness guidance system disclosed in the present invention, Figure 9 , and provide detailed explanations in conjunction with static training items involving two movement reference points.
[0149] See also Figure 9 , Figure 9 When the training item is plank support, the guidance information is displayed in the first display area and the training information is displayed in the second display area.
[0150] In detail, the guidance information displayed in the first display area includes: name of the training project: plank support; duration of static training; breathing rhythm: natural breathing; text description of training points: upper abdomen, lower abdomen; image description of training points: using two human body pictures with dark highlighting to reflect the specific position of the upper abdomen; image of the coach's training movements meeting the standards.
[0151] The training information displayed in the second display area includes: the user's image; identification information 10 (marked with a dot) of three action reference points (shoulder joint, hip joint and ankle joint) for comparing whether the training action meets the standard; and identification information 13 of the action reference point deviation range allowed to deviate from the action reference point identification information 10 when the training action meets the standard (a circular identification with a preset radius value with the action reference point identification information 10 as the center); and the training action standard line 14.
[0152] The requirement for achieving the plank training action is that the identification information 11 of the reference areas of the trainer's three action reference points are all located on the training action achievement line 14.
[0153] After the user begins exercising, as the body rises or falls, the identification information 10 of the action reference point moves toward or away from the training action standard line 14. When the identification information 13 of the action reference point deviation range of the three action reference points are all located on the training action standard line 14, it means that the training action has met the standard, and the center of the circle of the identification information 13 of the three action reference points deviation range is highlighted with a green check mark (√). Conversely, when the identification information 13 of the action reference point deviation range of any action reference point does not reach the training action standard line 14, it means that the training action has not met the standard, and the circular boundary line of the identification information 13 of the action reference point deviation range is highlighted in red to remind the user.
[0154] When the duration of the plank displayed in the second display area reaches the duration specified in the guidance information, the first display area is configured to display a rest reminder signal, which includes the rest duration and motivational quotes; the second display area is also configured to display the name of the next training item and the user's image information.
[0155] It should be noted that this article only introduces the content displayed by the display components under the above-mentioned training items. When exercising different training items, the action reference points and corresponding reference areas selected by the system will also be different, but the principle of judging whether the training action meets the standards based on the positional relationship between the action reference points and the reference areas is the same. Those skilled in the art can understand this based on the introduction of the squat training item, and this article will not go into details here.
[0156] In addition to the aforementioned fitness coaching system, the present disclosure also provides a fitness coaching method, which is executed by the aforementioned fitness coaching system. It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the fitness coaching system are not disclosed herein, and only the steps of the fitness coaching method implemented by the fitness coaching system are described in detail.
[0157] The fitness guidance method disclosed herein comprises the following steps:
[0158] S100. The triggering device is triggered to send a start signal to the display element;
[0159] S300. The image acquisition device acquires the contents of the acquisition area;
[0160] S500. The display element displays first display content in a first display area and displays second display content in a second display area, wherein the first display content includes guidance information and the second display content includes training information formed based on content captured by the image capture device.
[0161] Obviously, when users use the fitness guidance method disclosed in the present invention to exercise, they can exercise on their own according to the guidance information, and can see their own training information in the second display area. They can adjust their exercise posture in time based on the training information to make it as close as possible to the requirements of the guidance information. Basically, they can achieve the effect of training under the guidance of a fitness coach in the gym, breaking through the time and space limitations required for gym training, and improving the user's freedom in fitness training.
[0162] Furthermore, the training information also includes identification information of the action reference point corresponding to the training item and identification information of the reference area when the training reaches the standard.
[0163] Based on this, in the fitness coaching method disclosed herein, the display element displays the second display content in the second display area, including:
[0164] identification information of the action reference points corresponding to the training items and identification information of the reference area when the training reaches the target are displayed in the second display area of the display element;
[0165] During the training process, the identification information of the action reference point moves toward the identification information of the reference area until one action training is completed.
[0166] The action reference point corresponding to a training item is a reference point used to determine the magnitude of changes in human body movements when a user performs the training item. Specifically, in one embodiment, the processor of the system calculates the amount of training activity based on human skeletal points, calculates the direction of the human body based on the human skeletal points, and calculates the posture similarity based on the human skeletal points, thereby deriving one or more human skeletal points as action reference points for different training items. In this embodiment, a dot is used as its identification information.
[0167] Accordingly, the reference area for achieving training goals refers to the area where the selected action reference point should reach when performing the corresponding training program to achieve the goal. In this embodiment, the circular area with the action reference point as the center is used as its identification information. Of course, the identification information can also be a point. Of course, the selection of the action reference point needs to correspond to the training program to achieve the best guidance effect for the user's training.
[0168] for example:
[0169] When the training item is alternating side lunges, the selected movement reference point is the knee joint.
[0170] When the training item is Cossack squat, the selected movement reference point is the knee joint.
[0171] When the training item is squat, the reference point of the action is the middle hip;
[0172] When the training item is to flex the arms and circle the shoulder joints forward, the selected action reference points are the left elbow joint and the right elbow joint;
[0173] When the training item is the lucky cat, the selected action reference points are the left wrist joint and the right wrist joint;
[0174] When the training item is knee flexion and abdominal contraction, the selected reference point of the movement is the knee joint;
[0175] When the training item is plank support, the selected action reference points are shoulder joint, wrist joint and hip joint;
[0176] When the training item is side support arm raising, the selected movement reference point is the hip joint.
[0177] With this setting, when the user exercises, the identification information of his action reference point also moves in real time toward the identification information of the reference area as the human body moves. When the identification information of the action reference point reaches the identification information of the reference area, it means that the user's action for the training item meets the standard, thereby guiding the user's exercise action to be as close to the standard action as possible, achieving better training results.
[0178] Furthermore, in order to more intuitively show whether the user's training movements meet the standards, the fitness guidance method disclosed herein further includes the following steps:
[0179] After one movement training is completed, if the identification information of the movement reference point reaches the identification information of the reference area, the first display area displays a first prompt signal to indicate that the training movement has reached the standard; and / or,
[0180] After one movement training is completed, if the identification information of the movement reference point does not reach the identification information of the reference area, the first display area displays a second prompt signal to indicate that the training movement does not meet the standard.
[0181] That is to say, the training information of the display element disclosed herein also includes a first prompt signal and a second prompt signal, wherein the first prompt signal is configured to display the identification information of the action reference point reaching the identification information of the reference area at the end of an action, indicating that the user's training action has met the standard.
[0182] Specifically, the first prompt signal includes at least one of an image signal, a text signal, and a voice signal.
[0183] Among them, the image signal can be a positive judgment indicator displayed when the identification information of the action reference point reaches the identification information of the reference area for training, or the image signal is a positive judgment indicator and is highlighted with a first display effect. The first display effect can be to highlight the positive judgment indicator with a green circle or to highlight the positive judgment indicator symbol in green or to highlight the positive judgment indicator in bold or black, etc., as long as the image signal can be sufficiently eye-catching in the display area so that the user can perceive it intuitively.
[0184] Specifically, the positive judgment indicator can be presented as a "check mark (√)" symbol, or as a "thumbs-up" symbol. Of course, this article only provides two examples of presenting the positive judgment indicator, but is not limited to this.
[0185] Text signals remind users with text in the display area, such as "You have reached the standard", "You are great", etc., which clearly remind users that the action has reached the standard.
[0186] The voice signal is played out by using a speaker or other sound-generating element to allow users to intuitively and quickly understand whether the training items meet the standards.
[0187] Likewise, the second prompt signal includes at least one of an image signal, a text signal, and a voice signal.
[0188] Among them, the image signal can be that when the identification information of the user's action reference point does not reach the identification information of the reference area that meets the training standards after the user completes an action training, the boundary line of the reference area is highlighted with a second display effect. The second display effect can be to highlight the boundary line with a more eye-catching color such as red, orange, yellow, etc., as long as the image signal can be eye-catching enough in the display area for the user to perceive it intuitively.
[0189] Text signals remind users with text in the display area, such as "You have not yet reached the standard", "Try again", etc., to clearly remind users that the action has reached the standard.
[0190] The voice signal is played out by using a speaker or other sound-generating element to allow users to intuitively and quickly understand whether the training items meet the standards.
[0191] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the display element of the fitness guidance system of the present disclosure only displays the first prompt signal or the second prompt signal, which is specifically set according to user requirements and preferences.
[0192] In one embodiment, the fitness coaching method of the present disclosure further includes the following steps:
[0193] Between two training programs, the first display area is configured to display a rest prompt signal to remind the user that it is currently rest time so that the user can prevent muscle relaxation.
[0194] After one movement training is completed, if the identification information of the movement reference point does not reach the identification information of the reference area, the first display area displays a second prompt signal to indicate that the training movement does not meet the standard.
[0195] Specifically, the rest reminder signal includes at least the rest time between two consecutive training items. The rest time can be counted in a positive manner or in a countdown manner. The user can also set the timing method according to his or her preferences, which is not limited in this article.
[0196] In addition, the rest prompt signal can also include motivational quotes. The motivational quotes disclosed herein can include famous quotes, poems, online article excerpts, etc. that can make users feel happy and relaxed after reading them. Of course, users can also set the content of the motivational quotes themselves.
[0197] Between two training items, the second display area is configured to display the name of the next training item.
[0198] In this way, users can learn the name of the next training program during the rest time so as to be mentally and physically prepared for the next training program.
[0199] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in a rest scenario between two consecutive training items, the corresponding rest prompt signal mentioned above is displayed only in the first display area, or the corresponding rest prompt signal mentioned above is displayed only in the second display area.
[0200] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terms used herein are selected to best explain the principles of the embodiments, their practical applications, or technical improvements in the marketplace, or to enable other persons skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims.
