[Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, modern people have become very interested in health.

[0003] Therefore, interest in exercise is also increasing, and exercise is linked to the goal of health, but it is also linked to play, so exercise can be linked to the goal of play while achieving the goal of health.

[0004] Regular exercise is essential for a healthy life, and while people generally think of exercise as simply getting into shape, the ultimate benefit of exercise also includes improving mental health.

[0005] Exercise has a significant positive effect on not only physical health but also mental health, so experts recommend exercising at least three times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time.

[0006] Due to these types of exercises, fitness has become increasingly popular recently, and fitness is developing by combining various technological devices.

[0007] For example, portable electronic devices such as MP3 players or other audio players, radios, portable televisions, GPS systems, smart watches, pedometers, mobile phones, etc., which allow users to listen to music while exercising, have developed and are widely used in conjunction with fitness activities.

[0008] Many fitness and exercise enthusiasts use one or more devices to entertain themselves, provide performance data during exercise, and communicate with others when exercising.

[0009] The development of such devices has provided sophisticated athletic performance monitoring systems that easily and conveniently provide many physical characteristics related to athletic and fitness activities or other athletic performance, including speed, distance, GPS data, heart rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.

[0010] Prior art athletic performance monitoring systems provide a wealth of useful data, but have the limitation of only providing simple data.

[0011] Therefore, there is an increasing need for an exercise system that provides heart rate information and recommends and selects an exercise menu that is suitable for the heart rate information. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0012] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide an exercise execution system that uses heart rate information, which allows a user to input basic information, provides usage guidelines, recommends an exercise menu based on the information input by the user, selects one of a training course or a quick play course to exercise, wears a heart rate monitoring device that can check heart rate information before exercising, exercises while wearing the heart rate monitoring device, checks the heart rate in real time while exercising, configures the heart rate status into five levels according to preset conditions, and checks the heart rate status, and provides calories burned, heart rate / step results, and overall comments for the exercise completed by the user, thereby enabling the user to exercise optimally.

[0013] The objects of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other objects not mentioned will be clearly understood from the following description. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] To achieve the above object, the exercise execution system using heart rate information according to the present invention is characterized by including: an information input step of inputting basic information of a user and providing usage guidelines; an exercise selection step, which is implemented by inputting information in the information input step and selects an exercise menu desired by the user; a heart rate connection step of connecting a heart rate status to check heart rate information before starting the exercise selected in the exercise selection step; an exercise execution step of performing the exercise selected in the exercise selection step when the heart rate status is connected in the heart rate connection step; and an exercise result step of checking the results of the exercise performed in the exercise execution step.

[0015] The exercise selection step includes a training process in which an exercise section and a rest section are repeatedly performed, and a quick play process in which exercise intensity is adjusted and an exercise is performed freely.

[0016] Another technical feature is that the heart rate state connected in the heart rate connection step is divided into a plurality of regions according to preset conditions, and the heart rate state is checked in real time when exercising in conjunction with the exercise execution step.

[0017] In addition, the training process is technically characterized by being divided into two types, including a primary exercise sequence in which exercise is performed at maximum speed followed by complete rest, and a secondary exercise sequence in which exercise is performed at high speed followed by stretching and rest.

[0018] Another technical feature is that the exercise intensity of the quick play process is configured into a plurality of stages and can be set by the user. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] The present invention having the above-described configuration can be expected to have the following effects.

[0020] Users can enter basic information and provide usage guidelines.

[0021] The usage guideline can be provided only when first connecting to the exercise execution system that uses heart rate information of the present invention.

[0022] Furthermore, the usage guidelines can be implemented and provided whenever desired by the user.

[0023] Once basic information is input and the device is connected to the exercise execution system using heart rate information of the present invention, the user can select one of two processes: a training process that repeats exercise and rest periods, or a quick play process that adjusts exercise intensity and executes exercise for a preset time.

[0024] A process is selected and an exercise suitable for this process is performed. The training process is a process in which a user exercises for a preset time followed by resting, which is repeated up to nine times. The quick play process is a process in which the user exercises for a preset time at a preset intensity and then ends. The user can set an exercise suitable for the user and perform the exercise.

[0025] The user's heart rate information can be obtained in real time while exercising.

[0026] The heart rate status is divided into five stages, and the user can obtain current heart rate information and change the behavioral status based on the heart rate information.

[0027] After completing the exercise course, the user can check the exercise results.

[0028] Here, depending on the results, you can check the calories burned, heart rate / step overall comment, exercise time, target heart rate, heart rate entry time, and steps. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0030] Hereinafter, an exercise execution system using heart rate information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an exercise execution system using heart rate information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an overall flowchart of an exercise execution system using heart rate information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a training execution process of an exercise execution system using heart rate information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a quick play execution process of an exercise execution system using heart rate information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1, the exercise execution system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention may be comprised of an information input step (S100), an exercise selection step (S200), a heartbeat connection step (S300), an exercise execution step (S400), and an exercise result step (S500).

[0033] First, the information input step (S100) will be described.

[0034] A user can connect to the exercise machine program system of the present invention using a communication-enabled device, such as a communication device or a portable communication device.

[0035] When a user first connects to the system of the present invention, he / she is required to sign up as a member, and existing users can log in and connect to the system using the ID / password they used when they signed up as a member.

[0036] When signing up as a member, you can enter basic information about the user.

[0037] In detail, when signing up as a member, the user can enter their name, date of birth, gender, contact information, nickname, etc.

[0038] After signing up as a member, if you successfully log in for the first time, you can execute the usage guideline process (S110).

[0039] In detail, the usage guide process (S110) is executed when the user first successfully logs in after signing up as a member, and can provide basic knowledge and usage instructions for the exercise selection step (S200), the heartbeat connection step (S300), the exercise execution step (S400), and the exercise result step (S500), which will be described later.

[0040] Here, if the execution of the use guide step (S110) is not necessary during the execution, the use guide step (S110) can be canceled by the user's selection, and the exercise selection step (S200) described below can be executed.

[0041] In addition, when needed by a user who is not logging in for the first time, a usage guide process (S110) can be implemented to provide basic knowledge and usage guidance for the exercise selection step (S200), the heartbeat connection step (S300), the exercise execution step (S400), and the exercise result step (S500) described below.

[0042] Next, the exercise selection step (S200) will be described.

[0043] After signing up as a member in the information input step (S100), if a user logs in, the exercise selection step (S200) can be performed.

[0044] Here, before performing the movement selection step (S200), the center portion (not shown) can be first implemented to select an icon.

[0045] The central part can execute the motion selection step (S200) and can support system updates, system errors and initialization, etc.

[0046] In detail, when an update is available, the system update checks whether the latest version update is available before connecting to the information input step (S100), and the update can be performed by moving to the center and selecting the update icon.

[0047] If the update to the latest version is performed, the exercise selection step (S200) may not be performed, and the exercise selection step (S200) may be performed when the update to the latest version is completed.

[0048] In addition, when an abnormal termination occurs during use of the exercise execution system using heart rate information of the present invention, the system can support functions to search for errors, report the errors, and initialize to correct the errors.

[0049] In the center, the exercise selection step (S200) icon can be selected to implement and execute the exercise selection step (S200).

[0050] The exercise selection step (S200) may include a training process (S210) in which an exercise section and a rest section are repeatedly performed, and a quick play process (S220) in which the user adjusts the exercise intensity for a preset time.

[0051] The user can select one of the training process (S210) or the quick play process (S220) depending on the purpose of the exercise.

[0052] In detail, if the user's exercise purpose is rev-up, circuit speed change running, or low-effort continuous running, the user can select the training process (S210), and if free exercise is required, the user can select the quick play process (S220).

[0053] The training process (S210) can be configured in two ways: a primary exercise sequence (S211) in which the trainee exercises at maximum speed followed by complete rest, and a secondary exercise sequence (S212) in which the trainee exercises at high speed followed by stretching and rest.

[0054] In detail, the first exercise sequence (S211) is exercise at maximum speed for 3.0 to 60 seconds, followed by a complete rest period of 10 to 30 seconds, and the second exercise sequence (S212) is exercise at high speed for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds, followed by a stretching rest period of 20 to 40 seconds.

[0055] The first exercise sequence (S211) and the second exercise sequence (S212) can be automatically set in combination or independently according to the exercise intensity set by the user, and each sequence can be executed.

[0056] In the quick play step (S220), the user can adjust the exercise resistance intensity by themselves without any exercise goal.

[0057] In particular, in the quick play step (S220), the user can freely set exercise intensity and step height, etc., and can exercise without time constraints.

[0058] Furthermore, the exercise time may be detected only for the time during which the user actually exercises, and the time during which the user rests may not be detected as exercise time.

[0059] Next, the heartbeat connection step (S300) will be described.

[0060] In the exercise selection step (S200), an exercise mode is selected, and a heartbeat status can be connected to check heartbeat information before the exercise is performed.

[0061] In detail, after selecting an exercise mode in the exercise selection step (S200), before starting exercise, a heart rate monitor connection screen is displayed, and the user can connect the heart rate monitor and check the user's heart rate information.

[0062] Here, the device for measuring the heart rate is not limited, but it is preferable that the device be configured with a sensor for measuring the heart rate.

[0063] In detail, the heartbeat measuring device is configured with electrocardiography, photoplethysmography, sphygmomanometry, and phonocardiography, and can measure with photoplethysmography, which is configured with a pulse wave sensor and measures heartbeat information.

[0064] Photoplethysmography is divided into transmission and reflection types. The transmission type measures heart rate by irradiating the surface of the human body with infrared and red light and measuring the change in blood flow caused by the heartbeat by measuring the change in the amount of light transmitted into the body.

[0065] The reflective type irradiates a living body with infrared light and red light with a green wavelength around 550 nm, and measures the light reflected inside the body using a photodiode or phototransistor.By utilizing the property that oxyhemoglobin present in arterial blood absorbs incident light, it is possible to measure blood flow volume, which changes with the heart's pulsation, over time.

[0066] When the device for measuring heart rate is worn by a user, it measures the heart rate, and if the heart rate is not measured, it can provide a heart rate connection failure notification message.

[0067] The heartbeat connection failure notification message is provided if no connection is made for 30 seconds, and the notification can be provided until connection is made.

[0068] Here, the user can omit the heartbeat connection step (S300) if heartbeat information is not required.

[0069] In particular, if the user does not need heart rate information during exercise, or if the user is unable to check heart rate information, such as if the user does not have a device to measure heart rate, the heart rate connection step (S300) can be omitted.

[0070] Except for the heart rate connection step (S300), the basic value of 60 is provided as heart rate information, and the exercise intensity displayed every 1 to 2 minutes is checked, and heart rate information can be predicted and checked.

[0071] The subject wears a device for measuring heart rate, and once a stable heart rate is confirmed, the subject can start exercising in the exercise execution step (S400) described below.

[0072] Next, the exercise execution step (S400) will be described.

[0073] In the exercise execution step (S400), exercise can be performed in the exercise mode selected in the exercise selection step (S200).

[0074] In detail, when the exercise mode selected in the exercise selection step (S200) is selected in the training step (S210), the exercise execution step (S400) can be performed as a training execution step (S410), and when the quick play step (S220) is selected, the quick play execution step (S420) can be performed.

[0075] The training execution process (S410) may be configured to set one set of the first exercise sequence (S211) consisting of exercising at maximum speed for 30 to 60 seconds followed by complete rest for 10 to 30 seconds, and the second exercise sequence (S212) may be configured to set one set of high-speed exercise for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds followed by stretching rest for 20 to 40 seconds.

[0076] In the training execution step (S410), the first exercise sequence (S211) or the second exercise sequence (S212) can be set to a desired set and exercise can be executed.

[0077] Here, the desired set can be set in advance as shown in Table 1 below, and the desired program can be selected to perform the exercise.

[0078] [Table 1]

[0079] As shown in Table 1, desired programs are preset, and the user can select the desired program using the preset values ​​to perform exercise. The quick play execution step (S420) allows the user to adjust the exercise intensity and exercise steps to a total of five levels, and the user can adjust the exercise intensity to execute the exercise.

[0080] The quick play execution process (S420) basically sets the exercise time to 10 minutes, and the exercise intensity can be changed at any time during the exercise. If the exercise time exceeds 10 minutes, the user can continue exercising as long as they wish.

[0081] In the training execution step (S410) and the quick play execution step (S420), the user can check the heart rate status connected in the heart rate connection step (S300) in real time while exercising.

[0082] Depending on the heart rate condition, five zones can be checked as shown in Table 2 below, and the time when exercise can be performed can be checked according to the zone.

[0083] [Table 2]

[0084] As shown in Table 2, the effects and possible times are recommended depending on the heart rate state, and the user can perform exercise according to the heart rate state, recommended time, and effect. When the user terminates the exercise at his / her discretion during the training execution step (S410) or the quick play execution step (S420), the system can be initialized.

[0085] In addition, when the exercise is ended in any way, such as by ending the exercise at will or by completing the exercise, the user can select whether to perform the stretching step (S430).

[0086] The stretching step (S430) is a step of instructing the user to stretch after finishing exercise, and the user can perform the stretching step when necessary or not when unnecessary.

[0087] Once the stretching is complete, you can check the results of your exercise.

[0088] Next, the exercise result step (S500) will be described.

[0089] In the exercise result step (S500), the results of the exercise performed in the exercise execution step (S400) can be confirmed.

[0090] Here, before checking the results in the exercise result step (S500), the user can perform an exercise rest process (S510) to restore the heart rate and restore muscles.

[0091] The exercise rest step (S510) is a step in which the exercise execution step (S400) is completed and heart rate recovery is performed, in which the heart rate can be recovered by taking very slow, deep breaths for two minutes.

[0092] If you are unable to recover your heart rate after 2 minutes, try again and once your heart rate recovers, you can see the results of your exercise.

[0093] Exercise results can be displayed as exercise time, calories burned, overall comments on heart rate / steps, target heart rate and heart rate approach time.

[0094] The exercise time is the time spent actually exercising and the rest time during exercise, and is displayed as the exercise time and the rest time. The calories burned can be displayed as the names of foods related to the calories burned.

[0095] The target heart rate is calculated based on the THR and displayed as the target heart rate. The heart rate entry time is displayed by heart rate zone, and the exercise time can be classified and displayed by heart rate zone within the exercise time.

[0096] Steps indicates the number of steps performed during exercise, and can be displayed in the same way as the number of steps displayed during exercise.

[0097] After checking the exercise results, the user can select "End" and perform the exercise again by implementing the exercise selection step (S200).

[0098] The operation of the present invention will now be described based on the above-described configuration.

[0099] A user can connect to the exercise execution system using heart rate information of the present invention using a communication device and a portable communication device.

[0100] When a user first connects, he or she can enter basic information by performing a membership registration procedure in the information input step (S100).

[0101] After completing the membership registration, you can execute the usage guideline process (S110) when you log in for the first time.

[0102] The user guide step (S110) is performed to complete the basic knowledge and usage instructions, and then the exercise selection step (S200) can be performed.

[0103] The exercise selection step (S200) allows the user to select one of a training process (S210) in which an exercise section and a rest section are repeatedly performed, and a quick play process (S220) in which the user performs exercise without time restrictions and adjusts the exercise intensity.

[0104] If the user's exercise purpose is to improve basic physical strength, lose weight, or strengthen muscles, the user can select the training process (S210), and if the user's exercise purpose is conditioning, intervals, circuit variable speed running, or low-intensity continuous running, the user can select the quick play process (S220).

[0105] When the exercise mode is selected, the heartbeat state can be linked in the heartbeat linking step (S300).

[0106] In the heartbeat connection step (S300), a device for measuring heartbeat is worn on the user's body to confirm the user's stable heartbeat.

[0107] Here, if the user does not need heart rate information, the heart rate connection step (S300) is omitted and a basic value of 60 is provided as heart rate information. The exercise intensity is checked every 1 to 2 minutes, and the heart rate information is predicted and checked.

[0108] When the heartbeat information is connected in the heartbeat connection step (S300), the exercise can be performed in the exercise mode selected in the exercise selection step (S200).

[0109] When the training process (S210) is selected in the exercise selection step (S200), the training execution process (S410) can be executed, and when the quick play process (S220) is selected in the exercise selection step (S200), the quick play execution process (S420) can be executed.

[0110] The exercise can be performed for a preset time period of exercise and rest, or a preset program can be selected, and the user can perform the exercise for a set number of times suitable for the user.

[0111] When exercising, you can check your heart rate, which is divided into five zones, and check the time you can exercise depending on the zone.

[0112] When the exercise is completed, a stretching step (S430) can be performed to guide the user through stretching.

[0113] After completing the stretching, the exercise rest step (S510) is performed to restore the heart rate, and the exercise result step (S500) is performed to check the results of the exercise.

[0114] Exercise results can be displayed as exercise time, calories burned, overall comments on heart rate / steps, target heart rate and heart rate approach time.
