Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a training support system and a training support method that support a user in training. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is a training menu suggestion system that is configured to suggest a training menu suitable for a user by taking into consideration data on the user's physical characteristics and athletic ability stored in a database, as well as the user's exercise history (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] In the training menu suggestion system of Patent Document 1, the type, duration, number of times, etc. of exercise that a user performs at a training facility are stored in a database as an exercise history. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-189014 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the training menu suggestion system of Patent Document 1 does not disclose how, when a user changes training facilities, the various data stored in the database about training facilities that the user has used in the past is used at the training facility that the user is currently using.

[0006] One aspect of the present disclosure aims to provide a training support system and a training support method that are capable of providing appropriate training support to a user even if the user changes training facilities. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a training support system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a management server having a management database and a facility database. The management database stores user information extracted from usage information of multiple users who use multiple training facilities. When a user transfers from one of the multiple training facilities to another, the management server continues to use the user information stored in the management database when the user used the previous training facility when the user uses the new training facility.

[0008] A training support method according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a storing step, a creating step, and a transmitting step. In the storing step, user information for each user is stored in a management database of a management server from among usage information for multiple users who use multiple training facilities. In the creating step, the user information stored in the management database in the storing step is analyzed using a predetermined algorithm to create suggested information regarding training suitable for the specific user. In the transmitting step, the suggested information created in the creating step is transmitted from the management server to a communication device via a network. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, even if the user changes training facilities, training support can be provided to the user appropriately. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Embodiment 1] An example of the operation of the training support system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0012] [Outline of the training support system] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a training support system 1 of embodiment 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the training support system 1 includes a management server 2 and communication devices 4-1 to 4-5. Hereinafter, the communication devices 4-1 to 4-5 will be collectively referred to as communication device 4.

[0013] The management server 2 is located in a management center X and has a control device 10, a management database 20, and a facility database 30. The control device 10 is connected to the management database 20 and the facility database 30. An administrator resides in the management center X and manages the operation of the training support system 1.

[0014] User information is stored in the management database 20. The user information is information on users U1 and U2 who use training facility A, user U3 who uses training facility B, and users U4 and U5 who use training facility C, with personal information regarding each user U1 to U5's use of training facilities A, B, and C removed. Hereinafter, training facilities A, B, and C will be simply referred to as facilities A, B, and C, respectively. The number of facilities A, B, and C can be changed as appropriate.

[0015] The "user information", which will be described in detail later, includes a user ID, which is identification information for identifying each of the users U1 to U5, body type information of each of the users U1 to U5, training information of each of the users U1 to U5, diet information of each of the users U1 to U5, etc. This user information is stored in the management database 20 of the management server 2 in association with the user ID.

[0016] Furthermore, "personal information" includes, for example, reservation information, contract information, payment information, information regarding trainer comments, and the like for each of users U1 to U5.

[0017] Recommendation logic is also stored in the management database 20. The recommendation logic is a predetermined algorithm for creating suggested information such as optimal training menus and meal menus for each user using parameters such as the gender, body type, and training purpose of each user.

[0018] The control device 10 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), which will be described in detail later. The control device 10 is a device for appropriately providing support for training and the like to each of the users U1 to U5 by using the user information stored in the management database 20.

[0019] The training support system 1 of the first embodiment assumes that each of the users U1 to U5 may change facilities A, B, and C that they use. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when user U2 moves from facility A to facility B, the user information of user U2 remains stored in the management database 20. Therefore, even when user U2 moves from facility A to facility B, the control device 10 of the management server 2 can continue to use the user information stored in the management database 20 when user U2 used facility A before the move, when user U2 uses facility B after the move.

[0020] The facility database 30 has a first storage device 30A, a second storage device 30B, and a third storage device 30C. The first storage device 30A is for storing information related to facility A. The second storage device 30B is for storing information related to facility B. The third storage device 30C is for storing information related to facility C. The information related to the facilities includes personal information of users who use the facilities, facility equipment information, etc.

[0021] The first storage device 30A, the second storage device 30B, and the third storage device 30C may be a single device. In this case, the single device only needs to have an area capable of separately storing information related to facility A, facility B, and facility C.

[0022] The facility database 30 stores personal information of each of users U1 to U5 for each of facilities A, B, and C. That is, the first storage device 30A stores personal information of user U1 who uses facility A. The second storage device 30B stores personal information of users U2 and U3 who use facility B. The third storage device 30C stores personal information of users U4 and U5 who use facility C.

[0023] Various sensors 6A, 6B, 6C are provided in each of the facilities A, B, C. The sensors 6A, 6B, 6C include, for example, cameras installed in each of the facilities A, B, C, sensors installed on machines or equipment to count the number of times the user performs each training session, sensors attached directly to the user to measure the number of steps taken, and acceleration sensors and angular velocity sensors to detect the user's body movements.

[0024] The network 50 is constructed, for example, by the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The management server 2 may realize functions such as a payment function for facility usage fees for each user, a function for managing user entry and exit to each facility, and a function for managing meals for each user, by using services provided via a Web API (Application Programming Interface) or the like.

[0025] Communication devices 4-1 to 4-5 are carried by users U1 to U5, and are smartphones, mobile phones, wearable devices, etc. User U1 using facility A can communicate with the management server 2 via communication device 4-1. Users U2 and U3 using facility B can communicate with the management server 2 via communication devices 4-2 and 4-3. Users U4 and U5 using facility C can communicate with the management server 2 via communication devices 4-4 and 4-5.

[0026] It is assumed that a dedicated application (hereinafter referred to as an app) for using the training support system 1 has been downloaded in advance to each of the communication devices 4-1 to 4-5 of the users U1 to U5. Each of the users U1 to U5 can transmit various types of information to the management server 2 by activating the app.

[0027] Furthermore, each of the users U1 to U5 receives the proposed information transmitted from the management server 2 by using their own communication devices 4-1 to 4-5, and can check the content of the proposed information from the management server 2 by visually checking their respective display units 41 to 45.

[0028] [Configuring the Management Server Control Device] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the control device 10 of the management server 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the control device 10 has a processing unit 11, an acquisition unit 12, a proposal information output unit 13, a memory 14, and a communication unit 15, which are electrically connected via a bus.

[0029] The processing unit 11 controls each unit of the control device 10 by using the programs and setting data stored in the memory 14. The acquisition unit 12 acquires user information of each user U1 to U5 stored in the management database 20.

[0030] The suggested information output unit 13 creates suggested information related to training for each of the users U1 to U5 based on the recommendation logic. The suggested information output unit 13 creates an optimal training menu, meal menu, etc. for each user as the suggested information. The suggested information output unit 13 transmits the created suggested information to the communication device 4 via the communication unit 15.

[0031] The memory 14 stores various programs and various setting data for controlling the control device 10. The memory 14 also temporarily stores proposal information created by the proposal information output unit 13. The communication unit 15 communicates with the facility database 30 and the communication device 4 via the network 50.

[0032] [User usage information storage process] Next, a method for extracting user usage information by the training support system 1 of embodiment 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of saving user information of a user in the training support system 1 of embodiment 1. Fig. 4(a) is a table showing an example of body type information of a user who uses a facility. Fig. 4(b) is a table showing an example of user training information. Fig. 4(c) is a table showing an example of user diet information.

[0033] In the first embodiment, a method for extracting usage information of a user U1 who is using facility A will be described. As shown in Fig. 3, first, the user U1 transmits, via the communication device 4, a user ID and information about the communication device 4 used by the user to the management server 2 (S1).

[0034] The user ID may be an email address, an account name, or the like. A dedicated application (hereinafter referred to as an app) for using the training support system 1 is pre-downloaded onto the communication device 4-1 owned by the user U1. Information related to the communication device 4 may include a phone number.

[0035] When the user U1 starts the application on the communication device 4-1 and then inputs the user ID, an input screen is displayed on the display unit 41. Note that the setting may be such that after inputting the user ID, a predetermined password is input.

[0036] Next, the user U1 inputs personal information into the input screen of the display unit 41. The communication device 4-1 transmits the input personal information to the facility database 30 of the management server 2 (S2). Examples of "personal information" include user U1's contract information, training plan information, reservation information, and payment information.

[0037] Thereafter, the control device 10 stores the personal information of user U1 for each facility in the facility database 30 (S3). Specifically, the management server 2 stores personal information such as contract information, plan information, reservation information, and payment information related to facility A of user U1 in the first storage device 30A of the facility database 30. In this way, the facility database 30 can store and manage the personal information of each of users U1 to U5 for each of facilities A, B, and C.

[0038] After S3, the user U1 inputs his / her body type information into the input screen displayed on the display unit 41 of the communication device 4-1 (S4). Examples of "body type information" include gender, age, height, weight, body fat percentage, BMI, etc., as shown in FIG. 4(a).

[0039] Next, user U1 inputs training information into the input screen of communication device 4-1 (S5). Examples of "training information" include training level, purpose of use, target weight, time, calories burned, body part, muscle name, etc., as shown in FIG. 4(b). The example shown in FIG. 4(b) shows a case where intermediate-level user U1 aims to burn 600 kcal and improve abdominal and arm muscle strength through 90 minutes of training.

[0040] The types of exercises include crunches, squats, dumbbell presses, leg extensions, hip lifts, thigh lifts, chest presses, leg presses, leg curls, standing on one leg, shoulder presses, arm curls, and walking.

[0041] In S5, various data detected by sensors 6A, 6B, and 6C installed in each of facilities A, B, and C may be automatically transmitted to management server 2. The sensors 6A, 6B, and 6C include, for example, sensors provided on machines or equipment installed in each of facilities A, B, and C to count the number of times a user performs a predetermined training session, sensors attached directly to the user to measure the number of steps taken by the user, and acceleration sensors and angular velocity sensors that detect the user's body movements.

[0042] The sensors 6A, 6B, and 6C may be cameras installed in the facilities A, B, and C. In this case, the control device 10 of the management server 2 can analyze the images of the user captured by the cameras to recognize the user's body movements and count the number of changes in the user's posture. This makes it possible to count the number of times the user performs a predetermined training menu.

[0043] Next, user U1 inputs dietary information into the input screen of communication device 4-1 (S6). Examples of "dietary information" include the date of the meal, the calories ingested, and the amounts of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and water intake, as shown in FIG. 4(c). Note that input of dietary information may be omitted. Furthermore, the input screens for the user's body type information, training information, and dietary information may be different or may be the same screen.

[0044] Then, user U1 transmits the user information of user U1 input in S4 to S6 to the management server 2 via communication device 4-1 (S7). The control device 10 stores the received user information of user U1 in the management database 20 (S8: storage step).

[0045] The user information includes information about the user, such as user ID, gender, birthday, height, weight, body fat percentage, BMI, basal metabolic rate, muscle mass, muscle percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, calories burned, training level, target weight, weight loss period, and number of steps.

[0046] In this way, in the training support system 1 of embodiment 1, user information extracted from the usage information of an unspecified number of users is stored in the management database 20, and is used to provide suggested information such as training menus and meal menus suitable for each user.

[0047] [Procedure for providing suggested information to users] Next, a flow of providing suggested information to user U1 by the training support system 1 in embodiment 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of providing suggested information to a user by the training support system 1. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display on the display unit 41 of the communication device 4.

[0048] 5, first, user U1 requests the management server 2 to provide suggested information via the communication device 4-1 (S11). After S11, the control device 10 of the management server 2 acquires user information of user U1 and recommendation logic suitable for user U1 from the management database 20 (S12). It is assumed that multiple recommendation logics are provided according to each user's body type information, training information, diet information, etc.

[0049] For example, as shown in (a) of Figure 4, if a 33-year-old man who is 176 cm tall and weighs 66 kg sets a target weight of 60 kg and trains to increase abdominal and arm muscle strength, the control device 10 obtains recommendation logic appropriate for these conditions from the management database 20.

[0050] Then, the suggested information output unit 13 creates suggested information based on the recommendation logic (S13: creation step). Specifically, the suggested information output unit 13 creates suggested information related to training suitable for the user U1 by analyzing the user information of the user U1 using a predetermined algorithm.

[0051] In addition, in S13, the proposed information output unit 13 may create proposed information by referring to services such as meal menu creation and nutrition calculation provided via API, in addition to the recommendation logic stored in the management database 20.

[0052] After S13, the management server 2 transmits the proposed information created in S13 to the communication device 4-1 (S14: transmission step). The proposed information includes a training menu that the user U1 should preferably perform, a meal menu that the user U1 should eat, etc. This proposed information varies depending on the gender, body type, training level, training purpose, etc. of each user.

[0053] Then, the communication device 4-1 receives the proposal information from the management server 2 (S15), and displays the received proposal information on the display unit 41 (S16).

[0054] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display on the display unit 41 of the communication device 4-1. Fig. 6(a) shows an example of a training menu R1 suitable for user U1. In the example shown in Fig. 6(a), the names of recommended machines, the body parts to be trained, the number of sets, the training time, the effects of the training, the training level, and the training location are displayed.

[0055] 6(b) shows an example of a meal menu R2 suitable for user U1. The example shown in FIG. 6(b) displays the meal date, calorie intake, meal menu, and intake amount for each meal. The meal menu includes rice, chicken, rolled omelet, miso soup, vegetables, and milk.

[0056] By checking the content of the suggested information displayed on the display unit 41 of the communication device 4-1 and utilizing the content in his / her own training, the user U1 can effectively perform training that is optimal for him / her and continuously consume meals that suit his / her goals, thereby enabling the user U1 to effortlessly achieve his / her training goals.

[0057] Furthermore, once user U1 has completed the proposed training menu, he or she can manage the training by recording the details of the training via communication device 4-1 in management database 20. In this way, managing each user's information in management database 20 rather than on paper enables detailed data analysis.

[0058] According to the training support system 1 of the first embodiment described above, user information including training information, dietary information, etc. of each of users U1 to U5 is stored in the management database 20, and even if each of users U1 to U5 changes facilities A, B, C that they use, the user information stored in the management database 20 can be used. This makes it possible to provide appropriate training support to each of users U1 to U5 even if they change facilities A, B, C that they use.

[0059] Furthermore, the control device 10 can provide suggested information such as optimal training menus and meal menus for each of the users U1 to U5 by analyzing the body type information, training information, dietary information, etc. of each of the users U1 to U5 based on the recommendation logic, thereby enabling appropriate training support to be provided to each of the users U1 to U5.

[0060] [Embodiment 2] Next, a training support system 1 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of saving user information of a user by the training support system 1 according to the second embodiment. For ease of explanation, components having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. In the second embodiment, only the parts that are different from the first embodiment will be described.

[0061] In the training support system 1 of the second embodiment, a case will be described in which user U2 moves from facility A to facility B, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 7, first, user U2 enters into a service contract with facility A via communication device 4-2 (S21). Note that user U2 may also go directly to facility A and enter into the service contract within facility A.

[0062] Next, the control device 10 of the management server 2 stores the user information of the user U2 in the management database 20 (S22). The user information includes the user's physique information, training information, diet information, etc. This user information is associated with the user's user ID.

[0063] Thereafter, user U2 cancels his / her membership with facility A via communication device 4-2 and enters into a service contract with facility B (S23). Note that the personal information of user U2 stored in first storage device 30A of facility database 30 is deleted at the time when user U2 enters into a service contract with facility B.

[0064] After S23, when user U2 uses facility B after the transfer, he / she can use the user information stored in the management database 20 via the communication device 4-2 (S24). This user information includes the user information stored in the management database 20 when user U2 used facility A before the transfer.

[0065] Then, the user U2 logs in as a contract holder for facility B using the communication device 4-2 (S25), and can continue to use the same user ID (S26).

[0066] According to the training support system 1 of the second embodiment described above, even if user U2 moves from facility A to facility B, as shown in FIG. 1, the control device 10 of the management server 2 can acquire the user information of user U2 stored in the management database 20. Therefore, appropriate training information can be provided to user U2, taking into consideration the user information stored in the management database 20 when user U2 used facility A.

[0067] Furthermore, even if user U2 moves from facility A to facility B, the communication device 4-2 can acquire user information related to facility A that user U2 previously used. Therefore, when training at facility B, the user U2 can continue to use the user information that was saved in the management database 20 when user U2 used facility A before the transfer.

[0068] [Embodiment 3] Next, a training support system 1 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 8. For ease of explanation, components having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. In the third embodiment, only the parts that are different from the first embodiment will be described.

[0069] In the management server 2 of the third embodiment, it is assumed that a setting is made to limit the number of users at facilities A, B, and C in order to prevent a large number of users from training in a crowded state in the same facilities A, B, and C. The following description will be given assuming that user U1 uses facility A.

[0070] 5, first, user U1 requests the management server 2 to provide proposed information via communication device 4-1 (S11). Specifically, user U1 starts an app on communication device 4-1, inputs desired conditions such as a desired training schedule and training information into the input screen of display unit 41, and then requests proposed information. Communication device 4-1 transmits the input desired conditions and a message that the proposed information has been requested to the management server 2.

[0071] Here, the proposed information requested by user U1 includes, in addition to the training menu and meal menu, information indicating whether user U1 can use facility A under normal conditions that avoid overcrowding of users within facility A on the date reserved by user U1.

[0072] After S11, the control device 10 of the management server 2 acquires the user information of the user U1 and the recommendation logic corresponding to the user U1 from the management database 20 (S12), and confirms the desired conditions of the user U1.

[0073] Then, in the management server 2, the proposed information output unit 13 of the control device 10 creates proposed information based on the recommendation logic (S13). In S13, the proposed information output unit 13 determines whether user U1 can use facility A under normal conditions by determining whether the number of users of facility A on the dates reserved by user U1 is equal to or greater than the upper limit of the number of users of facility A. Note that the upper limit of the number of users is set in advance for each facility, taking into account the size of each facility, etc.

[0074] When the proposed information output unit 13 determines that the user U1 can use facility A under normal conditions, it transmits a message such as "Normally available" to the communication device 4-1. On the other hand, when the proposed information output unit 13 determines that the user U1 cannot use facility A under normal conditions, it transmits a message such as "It is crowded, please select another date" to the communication device 4-1 via the communication unit 15.

[0075] Furthermore, in S13, the proposal information output unit 13 may generate proposal information for the user U1 so that the user U1 can use the facility A in a normal state, taking into consideration the layout of each machine in the facility A shown in Fig. 8. In the example shown in Fig. 8, in the facility A, a total of 16 machines, four each of which are machines M1 to M4, are arranged in a room 101 partitioned by a wall W.

[0076] 8, for example, when machine M1-1 has been reserved and user U1 wishes to use machine M2, the proposal information output unit 13 creates proposal information that suggests using machine M2-4, which is located away from machine M1-1. Similarly, when machine M4-2 has been reserved and user U1 wishes to use machine M3, the proposal information output unit 13 creates proposal information that suggests using machine M3-4, which is located away from machine M4-2.

[0077] In addition, the proposed information output unit 13 may determine whether user U1 can use facility A while avoiding crowded conditions based on detecting the number of people staying in each room of facility A and the locations of machines in use using sensors 6A such as cameras and human body sensors installed in facility A.

[0078] After S13, the management server 2 transmits the proposed information created in S13 to the communication device 4-1 (S14). Then, the communication device 4-1 receives the proposed information from the management server 2 (S15) and displays the received proposed information on the display unit 41 (S16). As described above, the proposed information includes information indicating whether or not the user U1 can use the device in a normal state, an optimal training menu, and the like.

[0079] This allows user U1 to confirm whether facility A can be used under normal conditions that avoid overcrowding. If facility A can be used under normal conditions, user U1 can train with an optimal training menu at facility A on the desired date. On the other hand, if the reserved date is crowded, user U1 can redo S11 via communication device 4-1 and make a reservation for facility A on a different date.

[0080] According to the training support system 1 of the third embodiment described above, users can avoid being crowded together and can train with an optimal training menu.

[0081] Other Embodiments In the above-described first to third embodiments, each of the users U1 to U5 carries a communication device 4-1 to 4-5, but this is not limiting. For example, a trainer stationed at each of the facilities A, B, and C may carry a communication device 4. In this case, the trainer can use the communication device 4 on behalf of each of the users U1 to U5 to perform tasks such as updating training menus and making reservations using a dedicated app.

[0082] When updating a training menu, the trainer records, for example, the type and number of training sessions performed by the user under the trainer's guidance. When reserving a training menu, the trainer can listen to the user's requests and adjust the next training schedule. Furthermore, by using the app, the trainer can exchange comments with the user about training and diet, thereby promoting communication with the user.

[0083] In the training support system 1 of the first embodiment described above, the management server 2 creates the suggested information based on recommendation logic, but this is not limited to this. For example, the management server 2 may create the suggested information by using a trained model. The trained model learns the relationship between usage information at a certain point in the past regarding an unspecified number of users and usage information in the future relative to the certain point in the past as learning data, thereby making it possible to predict optimal training menus, meal menus, etc., according to the current usage information of a specific user.

[0084] [Software implementation example] The functions of the control device 10 (hereinafter referred to as the "device") of the management server 2 can be realized by a program that causes a computer to function as the device, and a program that causes a computer to function as each control block of the device.

[0085] In this case, the device includes a computer having at least one control device (e.g., a processor) and at least one storage device (e.g., a memory) as hardware for executing the program. The functions described in each of the above embodiments are realized by executing the program using this control device and storage device. The program may be recorded non-transitory on one or more computer-readable storage media. The device may or may not include these storage media.
