Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an EMS training device system with a sensor, and more particularly, to an EMS training device system with a sensor that uses a sensor attached to an EMS training device to sense a user, analyze the sensing result, and provide information suitable for the user's physical condition.
Background Art
[0002] Recently, due to the increasing interest in appearance such as the body, the number of people managing their bodies through personal training and the like has been increasing. Also, due to the influence of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the like, the market for home training mechanisms for exercising at home has been increasing, and as a result, the development of related technologies has also been actively carried out.
[0003] In addition, there are many people who desire small training devices and massage machines that can perform exercise and massage regardless of time and place, and small exercise / massage machines applicable to various sizes and parts have been put on the market.
[0004] Among them, EMS (Electric Muscle Simulation) training devices that transmit electrical stimulation to the user's body to generate muscle contraction and relaxation to maximize the exercise effect are widely used.
[0005] EMS training devices generate a low-frequency fine current to stimulate muscles to produce an exercise effect. The user can select several frequency bands, or fine currents of various frequency bands are randomly generated to stimulate the muscles.
[0006] However, such an EMS training device provides a low frequency in the band selected by the user, or a low frequency in a certain band to the user's body for a predetermined time. There is a risk of burns to the skin or damage to the muscles due to overcurrent that does not match the user's physical condition and / or excessive exercise time setting.
[0007] In addition, since the low-frequency band and stimulation time suitable for the user's body information (such as muscle mass and body fat percentage) are not known, and the user arbitrarily selects and uses the exercise time and low-frequency band, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to achieve the optimal effect.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0008] The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an EMS training device system with a sensor that uses a sensor attached to an EMS training device to detect a user, analyzes the detection result, and provides information and notification to the user.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0009] The present invention includes a training device worn on the user's body that applies a low-frequency current to the user's body, a control box that is detachably attached to the training device and transmits an electric current to the training device, a plurality of sensors, a detection module that is disposed on the training device and detects the user's biological information, and an analysis module that analyzes the biological information and controls the control box and the training device based on the analysis result. The detection module includes a first sensor that senses the user's skin temperature. When the value sensed by the first sensor exceeds a predetermined first reference value, the analysis module determines that there is a risk of burns and controls the control box. This is achieved by an EMS training device system with a sensor.
[0010] The training device includes a wearing part worn on the user's body and one or more pads disposed on the wearing part and in close contact with the user's body to apply low-frequency waves to the user's body. The detection module includes a second sensor that senses the degree of close contact between the one or more pads and the user's body. When the value sensed by the second sensor exceeds a predetermined second reference value, the analysis module determines that the wearing state of the wearing part is incorrect.
[0011] The training device further includes a water supply device disposed on the wearing part to supply water to each of the pads. The detection module includes a third sensor that measures the user's heart rate. Based on the time when the heart rate is first sensed and the time when it is last sensed by the third sensor, the analysis module calculates the usage time of the training device and activates the water supply device when the calculated value exceeds a predetermined third reference value.
[0012] When the heart rate is sensed by the third sensor, the water supply device supplies a predetermined volume of water to each of the pads.
[0013] The detection module includes a fourth sensor that senses the user's muscle movement. When the muscle movement sensing value sensed by the fourth sensor exceeds a fourth reference value for a predetermined period of time, the analysis module determines that the muscle may be damaged.
[0014] The detection module includes a fifth sensor that measures the user's body fat percentage and muscle mass. Based on the body fat percentage and muscle mass sensed by the fifth sensor, the analysis module provides the user with training guide information, menu information, and usage information of the training device.
Advantages of the Invention
[0015] According to the sensor-equipped EMS training device system of the present invention, the EMS training device is appropriately controlled based on the user's body information, so that the user can use the EMS training device safely and conveniently.
[0016] In addition, according to the sensor-equipped EMS training equipment system of the present invention, since the user's physical information is continuously provided to the user, the user can easily grasp the exercise effect and the changes in their own physical information.

[0022] Hereinafter, the sensor-equipped EMS training equipment system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0023] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a sensor-equipped EMS training device system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a training device and a control box of the sensor-equipped EMS training device system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a configuration of a detection module of the sensor-equipped EMS training device system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a water supply device of the sensor-equipped EMS training device system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 to 10 are diagrams for explaining an analysis process of an analysis module of the sensor-equipped EMS training device system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the sensor-equipped EMS training device system 1000 includes a training device 100, a control box 200, a detection module 300, and an analysis module 400.
[0025] The training device 100 is worn on the user's body and applies low-frequency waves to the user's body, and can be embodied in various shapes. The training device 100 includes a wearing part 110 and one or more pads 120.
[0026] The wearing part 110 is directly worn on the user's body and is embodied in various shapes depending on the body part. For example, the wearing part 110 is embodied in a belt shape provided to cover the user's waist or buttocks and / or a vest shape provided to cover the user's shoulders.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the belt-shaped wearing part 110 is provided in a belt shape having a length and is worn in a shape that covers the user's waist or buttocks. Here, the belt-shaped wearing part 110 is made of an elastic material, and coupling members are provided at both ends. The belt-shaped wearing part 110 is coupled to each other by the coupling members provided at both ends, and thereby is worn and fixed to the user's waist or buttocks.
[0028] The best-shaped wearing part 110 is embodied in a shape that covers the user's back and both shoulders. For example, the best-shaped wearing part 110 includes a rear surface part 111 that contacts the upper back of the user, and a first shoulder belt 112 and a second shoulder belt 113 that are respectively extended so as to have a length at the upper end of the rear surface part 111. The first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113 are worn so as to cover the user's shoulders. More specifically, the first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113 are located from the user's back over the user's shoulders to the user's chest. One end of each of the first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113 is respectively connected to a ring provided at the lower end of the rear surface part 111. Velcro (registered trademark) is provided on each one side and the other side of the first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113. Also, the first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113 are fixed by the Velcro (registered trademark) provided on each one side and the other side. Here, the first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113 can adjust their lengths by adjusting the attachment positions of the Velcro (registered trademark). According to this, the wearing part 110 can be adjusted according to the user's body shape.
[0029] One or more pads 120 that are in close contact with the user's body and apply low frequency to the user's body are provided on such a wearing part 110.
[0030] One or more pads 120 are arranged on one surface of the wearing part 110 and are arranged at a portion that contacts the user's body when the user wears it.
[0031] For example, on one surface of the belt-shaped wearing part 110, an adhesive means is arranged, and one or more pads 120 are selectively detachable from one surface of the wearing part 110 by the adhesive means. That is, one or more pads 120 are selectively detached and attached by the user at a necessary position. Such one or more pads 120 are portions that contact the user's waist, buttocks, and / or abdomen when the user wears the wearing part 110.
[0032] On one hand, in the wearing part 110 of the best shape, one or more pads 120 are arranged at positions where they come into contact with the user's shoulders. More specifically, one or more pads 120 are arranged on the first shoulder belt 112 and the second shoulder belt 113 respectively. Here, one or more pads 120 are the surfaces that directly contact the user's body when the user wears the wearing part 110.
[0033] On the other hand, the training device 100 further includes a water supply device 130. The water supply device 130 is arranged on the wearing part 110 to supply water to each pad 120. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the water supply device 130 is arranged on the wearing part 110 and is supplied with water from a water storage case located outside the wearing part 110. The water supply device 130 includes a moving part that moves the water supplied from the water storage case in the direction of each pad 120, and a nozzle part that injects the water moved by the moving part in the direction of each pad 120. The water moved by the moving part is injected by the nozzle part into each pad 120 to supply water to each pad 120. According to this, even if the user does not directly inject water onto the pad 120, the pad 120 is automatically supplied with water.
[0034] On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the water supply device 130 can also be arranged such that a water storage case for storing water is arranged between the wearing part 110 and each pad 120, and the moving part penetrates each pad 120. In addition, a nozzle part is installed at the end of the moving part, and the water moved by the moving part is injected outward by the nozzle part into each pad 120. According to such a water supply device 130, since the water is injected between each pad 120 and the user's body, water is automatically supplied between each pad 120 and the user's body. According to this, the adhesion between the user's body and each pad 120 is improved, and low-frequency waves can be efficiently transmitted to the user's body.
[0035] When the heart rate is first detected by the third sensor 330 described below, the water supply device 130 can supply a predetermined volume of water to each pad 120. This will be described later.
[0036] The control box 200 is detachably attached to the training device 100 and transmits current to the training device 100. More specifically, the control box 200 is selectively connected to one or more pads 120 by a cable (C).
[0037] The control box 200 includes a processor and a memory for the operation of the training device 100. For example, the control box 200 includes a receiving circuit for receiving user input. The user can adjust the frequency, intensity, and / or application time of the current applied to the training device 100 by operating the control box 200. Such a control box 200 further includes a display, and information regarding the operation of the training device 100 (operation time, operation mode, etc.) is output to the display.
[0038] On the other hand, the control box 200 can also be electrically connected to a terminal device held by the user and be controlled by the terminal device. For example, an application is installed in the user terminal device, and the user can control the control box 200 by touching the screen or the like through the application. Here, the control is to adjust the frequency, intensity, and / or application time of the current applied to the training device 100.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, the detection module 300 includes a plurality of sensors, is disposed on the training device 100, and detects the user's biological information. The detection module 300 includes a first sensor 310, a second sensor 320, a third sensor 330, a fourth sensor 340, and / or a fifth sensor 350, and a plurality of each of the sensors 310 to 350 are provided. Here, the biological information includes the user's skin temperature information, information regarding the degree of adhesion between one or more pads 120 and the user's body, the user's heart rate information, the user's muscle movement information, and / or the user's body fat and muscle mass information.
[0040] The first sensor 310 is a temperature sensor that senses the user's skin temperature and is disposed between the wearing part 110 and one or more pads 120 and / or on one or more pads 120. That is, the first sensor 310 senses the user's skin temperature at the portion in contact with one or more pads 120. The first sensor 310 operates when a current is applied to one or more pads 120. The first sensor 310 senses the user's skin temperature at the site in contact with one or more pads 120 and transmits the sensed value to the analysis module 400 described later in real time.
[0041] The second sensor 320 is a distance sensing sensor that senses the degree of adhesion between one or more pads 120 and the user's body. The second sensor 320 is disposed between the wearing part 110 and one or more pads 120 and / or on one or more pads 120. That is, the second sensor 320 measures the distance between the user's body in contact with one or more pads 120 and one or more pads 120 to sense the degree of adhesion.
[0042] The third sensor 330 is a heart rate sensor that measures the user's heart rate and is disposed on the wearing part 110. The third sensor 330 measures the user's heart rate while the control box 200 supplies current to one or more pads 120. That is, the initial heart rate sensing time of the third sensor 330 is the same as the first time when a low frequency is applied to the user's body.
[0043] The fourth sensor 340 is an electromyogram sensor that senses the user's muscle movement and is disposed between the wearing parts 110 and one or more pads 120 and / or on one or more pads 120. That is, the fourth sensor 340 senses the muscle movement of the user's body part to which a low-frequency wave is applied from one or more pads 120.
[0044] The fifth sensor 350 is a sensor that measures the user's body fat percentage and muscle mass and is disposed on the wearing part 110. For example, when the user wears the wearing part 110, the fifth sensor 350 is disposed adjacent to the user's abdomen and measures the body fat percentage and muscle mass of the user's abdomen and waist. Such a fifth sensor 350 can selectively measure the body fat percentage and muscle mass by the user. Further, the fifth sensor 350 operates when the user actually wears the wearing part 110 according to the user's setting. This will be described later.
[0045] On the other hand, although it is most desirable that the respective sensors 310 to 350 are disposed at the positions described above, depending on the shape of the wearing part 110, they can be disposed at various locations, and any location is acceptable as long as the purpose that each of the sensors 310 to 350 attempts to sense is achieved. Further, the respective sensed values sensed by each of the sensors 310 to 350 are transmitted to the analysis module 400 in real time.
[0046] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the detection module 300 of the EMS training device system 1000 with sensors further includes a sixth sensor.
[0047] The sixth sensor is a moisture sensor that senses the moisture content in one or more pads 120, is disposed on one or more pads 120, and senses the moisture content in one or more pads 120.
[0048] The analysis module 400 analyzes the biological information sensed by the detection module 300 and controls the control box 200 and the training device 100 based on the analysis results. To explain in more detail, the analysis module 400 compares each of the plurality of sensed values sensed by the detection module 300 with a plurality of predetermined reference values respectively, and analyzes the physical changes of the user who uses the training device 100 of the user.
[0049] The analysis module 400 receives and analyzes the skin temperature sensed value of each user sensed by the detection module 300, the sensed value for the degree of adhesion between one or more pads 120 and the user's body, the user's heart rate sensed value, the user's muscle movement sensed value, and / or the sensed value of the body fat and muscle mass of the user's body, and provides an alarm to the user based on the analysis results so that the user can use the training device 100 more efficiently. Further, the analysis module 400 controls the control box 200 and the training device 100 based on the analysis results in order to improve the use effect of the user's training device 100.
[0050] On the other hand, the analysis module 400 is connected to the terminal device possessed by the user, and outputs each sensed value and analysis result sensed by the detection module 300 to the user terminal device. For example, an application is installed in the user terminal device, and the application is connected to the training device 100, the control box 200, the detection module 300, and / or the analysis module 400. The application can output the sensed values and analysis results received by each component 100, 200, 300, 400 in various forms on the terminal device screen so that the user can confirm them. Each of the output data and information is in the form of characters, 2D images, 3D images, graphs, tables, images, and sounds, etc., and the period, time, and each sensed value to be output can be specified according to the user's selection, and can also be output restrictively.
[0051] Figures 5 to 10 are diagrams for explaining the analysis process of the analysis module of the EMS training device system with sensors according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] As shown in Figure 5, the EMS training device system 1000 with sensors according to an embodiment of the present invention can use the analysis module 400 to determine the burn risk, wearing status, and / or the possibility of muscle injury of the user.
[0053] In step S1000, each of the sensors 310 to 350 included in the detection module 300 generates a sensed value by sensing the surroundings at the arranged positions. Here, the sensed values include the skin temperature sensed value of the user, the distance sensed value between the user's body in contact with one or more pads 120 and the one or more pads 120, the heart rate sensed value of the user, the muscle movement sensed value of the user, and / or the body fat percentage and muscle mass sensed value of the user.
[0054] In step S2000, the analysis module 400 compares each of the sensed values with a predetermined reference value to determine the burn risk, wearing status, and / or the possibility of muscle injury of the user. That is, a reference value corresponding to each of the plurality of sensed items (temperature, distance, heart rate, muscle movement, body fat percentage, muscle mass) sensed by the detection module 300 is set, and by comparing the sensed value with the reference value to be matched, the burn risk, wearing status, and / or the possibility of muscle injury of the user can be determined.
[0055] As shown in Figure 6, the EMS training device system 1000 with sensors according to an embodiment of the present invention determines the possibility of the user's burn risk.
[0056] In step S1100, the first sensor 310 of the detection module 300 senses the skin temperature of the user. Here, the skin temperature of the user is the skin temperature of the user in contact with one or more pads 120, and senses the change in the skin temperature of the user caused by the low frequency given by the one or more pads 120.
[0057] In step S2100, the analysis module 400 compares the sensed skin temperature sensed value with a first reference value. Here, the first reference value is the user's first skin temperature sensed value. Here, the user's first skin temperature sensed value is the skin temperature sensed value first sensed when the user wears the wearing part 110, and preferably is the skin temperature sensed value before a low frequency is applied from one or more pads 120. The analysis module 400 compares the sensed skin temperature sensed value with the first reference value, and if the sensed skin temperature sensed value has a difference of 15% or more from the first reference value, determines that there may be a risk of burns to the user's skin, and generates first risk information. Here, the first risk information includes the skin temperature sensed value having a difference of 15% or more from the first reference value and the user's low frequency application time.
[0058] On the other hand, the analysis module 400 can also set a specific temperature as the first reference value. For example, the analysis module 400 sets 45 degrees, which is between 40 degrees and 50 degrees, a temperature at which a low temperature image can generally occur, as the first reference value. If the skin temperature sensed value sensed by the analysis module 400 is 45 degrees or more, it determines that there may be a risk of burns to the user's skin and generates first risk information. In this way, the analysis module 400 sets the first reference value based on various data, and the first reference value can be selectively set by the administrator.
[0059] In addition, when the analysis module 400 continuously maintains a state where the user's skin temperature sensing value is equal to or higher than a predetermined first reference value, it can provide an alarm to the user step by step and control the control box 200. For example, when the state where the user's skin temperature sensing value is 45 degrees lasts for 5 minutes or more, the analysis module 400 transmits first danger information to the user terminal and controls the control box 200 to reduce the intensity of the low frequency applied to the user. Subsequently, when the state where the user's skin temperature sensing value is 45 degrees lasts for 5 minutes or more again, the analysis module 400 transmits the first danger information to the user terminal again and controls the control box 200 to interrupt the low frequency applied to the user. That is, when the same danger information (here, the first danger information) is generated two or more times, the analysis module 400 can control the control box 200 to completely interrupt the low frequency applied to the user.
[0060] In addition, when the same danger information is generated two or more times, the analysis module 400 controls the water supply device 130. For example, when the same danger information is generated two or more times, the analysis module 400 controls the water supply device 130 so that water is supplied to the water supply device 130, allowing the user's body to come into contact with water. According to this, there is an effect of lowering the user's skin temperature.
[0061] As shown in FIG. 7, the sensor-equipped EMS training device system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention determines whether the wearing state of the user's wearing part 110 is correct.
[0062] In step S1100, the second sensor 320 of the detection module 300 senses the degree of adhesion, that is, the distance, between one or more pads 120 and the user's body.
[0063] In step S2200, the analysis module 400 compares the distance sensing value with a second reference value. Here, the second reference value is 1 mm. This is because when the distance between one or more pads 120 and the user's body is 0 mm, that is, when they are in close contact, low-frequency waves can effectively act on the body. When the sensing value detected by the second sensor 320 exceeds the second reference value, the analysis module 400 determines that the wearing state of the wearing part 110 is incorrect and generates second danger information. Here, the second danger information is information regarding the sensing value that exceeds the second reference value. The second danger information is transmitted to the user's terminal device, enabling the user to be immediately informed that the wearing state of the wearing part 110 is incorrect.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 8, the sensor-equipped EMS training device system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention can calculate the actual usage time of the user's training device 100 and supply moisture to one or more pads 120.
[0065] In step S1100, the third sensor 330 of the detection module 300 senses the user's heart rate. Here, the third sensor 330 operates when the distance to the user's body becomes close to or greater than a predetermined reference value. That is, at the moment when the user actually wears the wearing part 110, it operates to sense the user's heart rate.
[0066] In step S2300, the analysis module 400 calculates the first time when the heart rate was sensed and the last time when the heart rate was sensed, and analyzes the usage time of the user's training device 100. Thereafter, when the analysis value, that is, the usage time of the user's training device 100 exceeds a third reference value, the analysis module 400 controls the moisture supply device 130 to operate the moisture supply device 130. Here, the third reference value is the time when 50% or more of the moisture first injected into one or more pads 120 evaporates, and is set to, for example, 20 minutes. The third reference value can also be set by the user and can be freely set according to the situation.
[0067] The training device 100 generally sprays moisture onto one or more pads 120 and then the user wears the wearing part 110, so that the one or more pads 120 will be in close contact with the user's body. Also, the low-frequency waves provided by the one or more pads 120 are efficiently transmitted to the user's body through the moisture sprayed on the one or more pads 120. That is, when an appropriate amount of moisture exists in the one or more pads 120, the low-frequency waves are efficiently transmitted to the user's body. When the moisture content in the one or more pads 120 decreases, the conductivity decreases, and low-frequency waves with a strength less than the actually applied low-frequency waves are transmitted to the body. That is, the application efficiency of the low-frequency waves becomes very low. Therefore, the user uses the training device 100 by taking off the wearing part 110 after a certain period of use, supplying moisture to the one or more pads 120 again, and then re-wearing the wearing part 110.
[0068] However, according to the sensor-equipped EMS training device system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the analysis module 400 analyzes the heart rate sensed by the third sensor 330, calculates the time when the user actually wears and uses the training device 100, and when the calculated value exceeds the third reference value, controls the moisture supply device 130 so that moisture is automatically sprayed from the moisture supply device 130, thus solving the trouble that the user has to take off the training device 100 according to time and spray moisture on the one or more pads 120.
[0069] In addition, when the sensed value calculated by the third sensor 330 exceeds the third reference value three or more times, that is, when the duration of the user's use of the training device 100 becomes long, the analysis module 400 can determine that the user is overusing the training device 100 and generate third danger information. The third danger information includes the actual usage time of the user's training device 100.
[0070] In addition, when the heart rate sensed by the third sensor 330 is outside the normal heart rate range, the analysis module 400 determines that a dangerous situation has occurred to the user and generates third danger information. Here, the third danger information includes the heart rate outside the normal heart rate range sensed by the third sensor 330.
[0071] On the other hand, when the third sensor 330 first senses the heart rate, the analysis module 400 determines that the user has worn the training device 100, and the water supply device 130 supplies a predetermined volume of water to one or more pads 120. According to this, the trouble of directly injecting water onto one or more pads 120 before the user wears the training device 100 is eliminated. In addition, the analysis module 400 determines that the user has worn the training device 100 only when the third sensor 330 first senses the heart rate and the sensed value sensed by the second sensor 320 is less than or equal to the second reference value, and the water supply device 130 can supply a predetermined volume of water to one or more pads 120. The water supply conditions of the water supply device 130 described above can be selectively set by the user.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 9, the sensor-equipped EMS training device system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention senses the muscle movement of the user and determines whether a dangerous situation of muscle damage occurs.
[0073] In step S1100, the fourth sensor 340 of the detection module 300 senses the muscle movement of the user and generates a sensed value. Here, the fourth sensor 340 operates in conjunction with the control box 200 and operates when the control box 200 starts applying a low frequency to the user. That is, the fourth sensor 340 can sense the muscle movement when a low frequency is applied to the user's body.
[0074] In step S2400, when the sensed value sensed by the fourth sensor 340 exceeds the fourth reference value, the analysis module 400 determines that the muscle may be damaged. Here, the fourth reference value is a value that deviates from normal muscle movement. For example, when the number of repetitions of the contraction and relaxation movements of the muscle sensed by the fourth sensor 340 in one minute exceeds the fourth reference value, the analysis module 400 determines that the user's muscle is moving in an abnormal pattern and generates fourth danger information. Here, the fourth danger information is the user's muscle movement pattern that exceeds the fourth reference value. When the fourth danger information is generated, the analysis module 400 can control the control box 200 to adjust the intensity of the low frequency applied to the user. In addition, when the same danger information (here, the fourth danger information) is generated two or more times, the analysis module 400 controls the control box 200 to interrupt the low frequency applied to the user. That is, when the analysis module 400 first determines that the user's muscle may be damaged, it weakens the intensity of the low frequency, and when it later determines that the muscle may be damaged again, it interrupts the low frequency, thereby gradually preventing the user's muscle from being damaged.
[0075] As shown in FIG. 10, the sensor-equipped EMS training device system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention senses the body fat percentage and muscle mass of the user's body and provides training guide information, menu information, and usage information of the training device 100 suitable for the user's body fat percentage and muscle mass.
[0076] In step S1100, the fifth sensor 350 of the detection module 300 senses the user's body fat percentage and muscle mass, and generates respective sensed values. Here, the fifth sensor 350 operates when the user wears the wearing part 110. That is, the fifth sensor 350 operates when the user's heart rate is sensed by the third sensor 330. Also, the fifth sensor 350 operates when the user's heart rate is sensed by the third sensor 330 and the sensed value sensed by the second sensor 320 is less than or equal to the second reference value so as to sense the user's actual body fat percentage and muscle mass. Since the fifth sensor 350 operates only when the user actually wears the training device 100 correctly on the body, the mis-sensing rate can be significantly reduced.
[0077] In step S2500, the analysis module 400 provides training guide information, menu information, and usage information of the training device 100 suitable for the user based on the sensed values sensed by the fifth sensor 350. For example, the analysis module 400 includes a database that receives various training guide information and menu information from an external server. Also, the usage information of the training device 100 suitable for the body fat percentage and muscle mass is stored in the database.
[0078] The analysis module 400 matches the body fat percentage sensed by the fifth sensor 350 with the training guide information, meal plan information, and usage information of the training device 100 corresponding to the muscle mass sensed value, and provides it to the user. In the database, the training guide information, meal plan information, and training devices are classified and stored according to the body fat percentage and muscle mass. For example, in the database, when the body fat percentage is 35 - 40%, when the body fat percentage is 30 - 34%, when the body fat percentage is 25 - 30%, it is classified, and the training guide information including the type of exercise, exercise method, and exercise time for the user's body fat percentage to be the average body fat percentage according to each body fat percentage, meal plan information including meal plan type, meal plan calories, meal plan recipe, and meal plan intake time, and / or usage information of the training device 100 including recommended frequency information and recommended frequency application time information of the training device 100 are stored. The analysis module 400 matches various information corresponding to the body fat percentage sensed by the fifth sensor 350 in the database and provides it to the user. Here, the analysis module 400 provides various information to the user through the user terminal device. According to this, the user can obtain training guide, meal plan, and usage information of the training device 100 suitable for their current physical condition.
[0079] The sensor - equipped EMS training device system 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention senses the water content contained in one or more pads 120 and supplies water to the one or more pads 120.
[0080] The sixth sensor of the detection module 300 senses the water content contained in one or more pads 120 and generates a sensed value. Here, the sixth sensor operates in conjunction with the control box 200 and operates when the control box 200 starts applying low - frequency waves to the user. That is, the sixth sensor can sense the water content of one or more pads 120 when low - frequency waves are applied to the user's body.
[0081] After that, when the sensed value sensed by the sixth sensor is less than the sixth reference value, the analysis module 400 determines that there is insufficient moisture in one or more pads 120. Here, the sixth reference value is 50% of the moisture sensed value of one or more pads 120 sensed first. When the analysis module 400 determines that there is insufficient moisture in one or more pads 120, it controls the moisture supply device 130 so that moisture is supplied to one or more pads 120. Here, the analysis module 400 controls the moisture supply device 130 so that moisture is supplied to one or more pads 120 until one or more pads 120 have the moisture sensed value sensed first.
[0082] According to the EMS training device system 1000 with sensors including the training device 100, control box 200, detection module 300, and analysis module 400 described above, the EMS training device is appropriately controlled according to the user's body information, so that the user can use the EMS training device safely and conveniently.
[0083] In addition, since the user's body information is continuously provided to the user, the user can easily grasp the exercise effect and changes in their own body information.
[0084] In the above, even if all the components constituting the embodiments of the present invention are described as being combined into one or operating in combination, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments.
