[0003] The technology forming the background of the present invention is disclosed in the following literature.1) Publication No.: 2016-0036709 (April 5, 2016), "Walking Exercise Assistance System for Activating Walking Exercise." Recently, as interest in user health management has increased, the development of applications to more easily motivate users to exercise is actively underway. Such applications provide various functions and personalized interfaces to users depending on the purpose, use, and type of exercise for users starting to exercise. Performance data collected by the application includes ① spatiotemporal data, ② walking exercise data, and ③ physiological signal data. By comparing performance data with goal data set by the user, the application provides objective / time-series information that helps regulate the user's exercise. Users identify their current exercise status based on the objective / time-series information provided through the application. However, existing applications are limited to simply current and past data, measuring the current number of steps and displaying past measurement records, but they fail to provide information on how much walking exercise has been done or how to perform walking exercise. Moreover, since walking exercise lacks any special fun elements other than the user's walking motion, it is easy to get bored, so it is not easy to walk for a long enough time to obtain exercise benefits, and it is even more difficult to maintain walking exercise consistently.

[0004] Ultimately, while various methods have been proposed for existing applications to display information such as exercise speed, distance, and calories based on the user's location, or to display walking routes, there are limitations in overcoming the boredom of walking exercise, and there have been difficulties in consistent and continuous walking exercise due to the lack of a sense of purpose and interest stimulation.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that provides fun and motivation to overcome the boredom of walking exercise, and increases the sense of accomplishment derived from meaningful work rather than meaningless labor. The problem to be solved

[0007] The present invention provides an exercise management method that provides a meaningful sense of accomplishment to the user by inducing movement to a destination preferred by the user through the provision of a plurality of recommended paths having a distance for completing remaining information.

[0008] The present invention provides an exercise management method that provides an intelligent mechanism for presenting more personalized recommended paths to a user by providing recommended paths that consider a user's evaluation of a recommended path selected and performed by the user and recommended paths preferred by other users.

[0009] The present invention provides an exercise management method that determines a round-trip or one-way route capable of completing remaining information, and in the case of a one-way route, provides traffic information that enables the user to return from the destination of the one-way route to the starting point where the user began the exercise, thereby increasing the quality of life and happiness associated with reaching the destination while minimizing the burden of additional exercise. means of solving the problem

[0025] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an exercise management system for providing personalized exercise to a user according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1, the exercise management system enables a user carrying an electronic device (101) to continuously perform exercise, thereby contributing to the improvement of the user's physical health. The exercise management system is applied to exercises performed by the user, such as walking and running, and contributes to valuable activities that can increase motivation, enjoyment, aesthetic sense, and addictiveness regarding exercise.

[0028] The exercise management system may be composed of an electronic device (101) that a user (102) can possess, an information management server (103) that stores and manages data related to the exercise of the user (102) possessing the device, and a database (104) that links with the information management server (103).

[0029] The electronic device (101) may display a map (106) on the screen (105) of the electronic device (101) and may display the current location (107) of a user (102) holding the electronic device (101) on the map (106). For example, the electronic device (101) may include various computing devices such as a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet, e-book device, laptop, personal computer, desktop, workstation, or server; various wearable devices such as a smart watch, smart glasses, HMD (Head-Mounted Display), or smart clothing; various home appliances such as a smart speaker, smart TV, or smart refrigerator; a smart car, smart kiosk, IoT (Internet of Things) device, WAD (Walking Assist Device), drone, or robot.

[0030] The electronic device (101) can determine residual information regarding the exercise performed by the user (102) based on the difference between the pre-set goal information regarding the exercise performed by the user (102) and the current information achieved by the user (102). The goal information may refer to an actual goal that the user (102) aims to reach. In other words, the goal information may be information set to increase one's movement to a certain level over a certain period, taking into account the user's (102) exercise ability. For example, the goal information may be a target number of steps representing the amount of activity the user (102) intends to perform through exercise during the day.

[0031] Current information may be information calculated based on the change in the user's (102) location from the electronic device (101) held by the user (102). For example, current information may be the current number of steps representing the amount of activity performed from the start time of exercise by the user (102) to the current time. Residual information may be information representing the gap between the target information and the current information, as a result of subtracting current information from pre-set target information.

[0032] The electronic device (101) can determine multiple recommended paths for a user (102) to complete residual information regarding exercise. Specifically, the electronic device (102) can determine multiple recommended paths based on residual information and at least one of biometric information regarding the user's (102) body, environmental information regarding the surrounding situation of the user (102), and preference information regarding the user's (102) preferences.

[0033] Biometric information may include information regarding at least one of the user's (102) age, gender, height, weight, musculoskeletal and cardiac health status. Environmental information may include information regarding at least one of the user's (102) current location (107), preset starting point, current time, preset starting time, and weather. Preference information may include areas of interest that the user (102) wishes to pass through and areas of indifference that the user wishes to avoid when performing exercise.

[0034] The electronic device (101) can determine multiple recommended routes based on biometric information, environmental information, and preference information related to the user (102), with the user's current location as the starting point and distances for completing remaining information. The electronic device (101) can determine recommended routes as round-trip routes and / or one-way routes capable of completing remaining information based on the remaining information. In the case of a one-way route, the electronic device (101) can determine recommended routes including traffic information that enables a return from the destination of the one-way route to the starting point.

[0035] The electronic device (101) can receive recommended routes from other users that are similar to the user in terms of physical characteristics to a predetermined degree by linking with the information management server (103). The electronic device (101) can determine multiple recommended routes that have a distance to complete remaining information that allows the user (102) to achieve the goal information from the current location by utilizing at least one of the destination, intermediate route, and theme preferred by other users according to the recommended routes of other users.

[0036] Additionally, the electronic device (101) may further consider the user's (102) evaluation of the recommended path selected and performed by the user (102).

[0037] Ultimately, the electronic device (101) of the present invention can provide an intelligent mechanism that provides a customized recommended path to a user who wishes to perform exercise, based on big data regarding the recommended path of the user (102) and the recommended path of other users.

[0039] FIG. 2 is a drawing illustrating a user interface displayed to a user through an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic device (101) can display the target information (201) received and pre-set by the user on the screen. The electronic device (101) can determine the user's exercise level by utilizing the user's personal information. For example, the electronic device (101) can determine the user's exercise level by analyzing the user's average stride length, movement speed, exercise level, exercise duration, etc., based on the user's personal information.

[0041] The electronic device (101) can start measuring current information (202) by utilizing the user's personal information and exercise level. In other words, the electronic device (101) can recognize a change in the user's location, measure current information (202) including the time at which the change in location occurred, and display the measured current information (202) on a screen. For example, the electronic device (101) can accumulate the user's current step count whenever steps corresponding to the user's change in location are recognized, and display the accumulated current step count on a screen.

[0042] The electronic device (101) can display residual information (207) regarding the exercise performed by the user on the screen based on the difference between the preset target information (201) and the current information (202) achieved by the user.

[0043] The electronic device (101) can determine the user's current location. Based on the user's current location, the electronic device (101) can determine a plurality of recommended routes (203) having a distance for completing remaining information using at least one of a destination, an intermediate route, and a theme preferred by other users whose physical characteristics are similar to the user to a predetermined degree. The electronic device (101) can display the determined plurality of recommended routes (203) on a screen.

[0044] Multiple recommended routes (203) may indicate different destinations based on the digital footprints of other users, based on the user's environment information and preference information. Multiple recommended routes (203) have a distance for completing remaining information, and round-trip travel or one-way travel may be possible depending on the travel distance between the user's starting point and destination.

[0045] The electronic device (101) can briefly display recommended routes (204), (205), and (206) in a table format on the screen as shown in FIG. 2. When one of the recommended routes (204), (205), and (206) is selected by the user, the electronic device (101) can switch the screen and then display detailed information of the selected recommended route on the screen. After the detailed information of the recommended route is displayed on the screen, the electronic device (101) can start providing guidance on the recommended route when it detects a change in the user's location or when a touch is applied to a confirmation button located on the screen.

[0046] When guidance on the recommended route begins, the user's current information (203) increases according to the user's location change, and the remaining information (207) required to complete the pre-set goal information (201) decreases. Consequently, the electronic device (101) can improve the success rate of the exercise performed by the user by reducing the gap (difference) between the pre-set goal information (201) and the current information (203) in proportion to the decrease in the remaining information (207).

[0047] Recommended paths (204), (205), and (206) may be paths that were rated highly by other users who have a similar age, gender, occupation, etc. to the user, when they reached a destination by starting from the user's current location and obtaining the necessary remaining information.

[0048] The electronic device (101) can induce the user to increase their enjoyment, aesthetic sense, and sense of accomplishment during exercise by recommending personalized recommendation paths (203) to the user using data from other users corresponding to at least one of biometric information, environmental information, and preference information.

[0049] Additionally, the electronic device (101) can contribute to achieving commercial goals by creating new foot traffic around the destinations by inducing the user to visit different destinations for each recommended route (204), (205), (206). Additionally, the electronic device (101) can contribute to achieving social goals by forming broader human relationships, whether face-to-face or non-face-to-face, by inducing interaction with exercise partners located near the user through the use of data from other users.

[0051] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a detailed operation for determining a plurality of recommended paths according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device (101) can determine multiple personalized recommended paths for a user performing exercise. The electronic device (101) can utilize recommended paths previously performed by other users (304), biometric information (301) about the user's body, and environmental information (302) about the surrounding situation surrounding the user.

[0053] The electronic device (101) can determine multiple recommended routes by using at least one of destinations, intermediate routes, and themes preferred by other users (304) whose physical characteristics are similar to the user to a predetermined degree. Specifically, the information management server can collect and manage digital footprints related to exercise through the electronic devices possessed by other users (304). Here, the digital footprint is a trace left by the other user while using the electronic device, and the information management server can collect multiple recommended routes for the exercise performed by the other users (304). The electronic device (101) can receive recommended routes from other users (304) whose physical characteristics are similar to the user to a predetermined degree by linking with the information management server.

[0054] The electronic device (101) can determine multiple recommended paths having a distance to complete remaining information that allows the user to achieve goal information from the current location (303) by utilizing at least one of a destination, intermediate path, and theme preferred by other users (304) according to the recommended paths of other users (304).

[0055] Here, the electronic device (101) can further enhance motivation for exercise through spontaneity and randomness in exercise by utilizing recommended paths from other users (304) and additionally suggesting new destinations, including destinations that the user already knows.

[0056] Additionally, the electronic device (101) can determine recommended paths to be provided to the user by using biometric information (301) about the user's body. Here, the biometric information may include information about at least one of the user's age, gender, height, weight, musculoskeletal and cardiac health status.

[0057] The electronic device (101) can set a single stride length based on the height collected from the user's biometric information (301), which is the distance from the heel of the front foot to the heel of the back foot when the user walks. Here, the stride length is related to speed, and as the stride length widens, the speed of the stride increases, while conversely, as the stride length narrows, the speed of crawling may decrease. For example, the electronic device (101) can set the user's stride length by subtracting 100 cm from the user's height (cm) or by multiplying by a specific value (0.4 or 0.45).

[0058] The electronic device (101) can determine the user's current information and remaining information by utilizing the number of steps and stride length in steps according to the target information. The electronic device (101) can determine multiple recommended paths having a distance to complete the remaining information by considering the user's biometric information.

[0059] The electronic device (101) can determine recommended routes to provide to the user by using environmental information (302) regarding the surrounding conditions surrounding the user. The environmental information (302) may include information about at least one of the user's current location (303), a preset starting point, the current time, a preset starting time, and the weather. The environmental information (302) may be information that changes dynamically according to the user's current location (303).

[0060] The electronic device (101) may utilize preference information regarding the user's preferences. The preference information may include areas of interest and areas of indifference as information indicating the user's preferred target points as optional characteristics. ① Areas of interest are points / regions that the user does not avoid and may include convenience stores, banks, movie theaters, cafes, restaurants, cultural centers, libraries, hospitals, pharmacies, community centers, bus stops, etc. ② Areas of indifference are areas that the user avoids and may include accident risk areas, crosswalks, high-crime areas, etc. Additionally, the preference information may include preferences evaluated after exercise along a recommended route selected by the user is completed.

[0061] Ultimately, the electronic device (101) can provide a recommended route to the user so that other users with occupational characteristics can go to a place where they had a satisfactory experience in the past by starting from the current location (303), achieving the required number of steps, and reaching it.

[0063] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing details of each of a plurality of personalized recommendation paths for a user according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 4, the electronic device (101) can provide the user with a plurality of personalized recommended routes (203). The recommended routes (203) may include destinations (401), intermediate routes (402), themes (403), distances (404), traffic information (405), recommendations (406), and reviews (407) preferred by other users. The user can select the recommended route they want through the details of the recommended routes (203) displayed on the electronic device (101).

[0065] The destination (401) may be a point that the user intends to use for movement. The destination (401) may represent various places depending on the theme (403) of the recommended route or the preferences of other users.

[0066] The intermediate path (402) is a path determined according to the destination (401) set by the user, and may be information for the user to determine their current location within the recommended path based on features existing around the recommended path according to residual information. For example, when the electronic device (101) sets a ramen shop as the destination (401), it may provide the user with a recommended path ① having a traditional market and a cafe as intermediate paths.

[0067] The theme (403) is a concept for enjoying exercise according to the user's characteristics and can be classified into restaurants, walks, views, attractions, etc. The distance (404) is the user's current location as the starting point and may be the distance required to complete the remaining information.

[0068] Traffic information (405) may include at least one of a round-trip route or a one-way route (408) capable of completing the remaining information. In the case of a one-way route (408) included in a plurality of recommended routes, the traffic information (405) may include traffic information (e.g., bus, subway, taxi, shared bicycle, shared scooter, etc.) capable of returning from the destination of the one-way route (408) to the starting point. For example, the electronic device (101) can complete the user's remaining information by reaching a destination along a one-way route starting from the user's current location. By achieving the goal information set by the user upon completion of the remaining information, the user can succeed in the exercise required for the day.

[0069] At this time, if the user returns to the user's starting point or moves to another place, additional consumption occurs as a certain number of additional steps are taken in addition to the goal information. Also, depending on the user, returning to the starting point via a route already taken may be perceived as boring and tedious, and in this case, the user's exercise satisfaction may be significantly reduced. The electronic device (101) can improve the sense of accomplishment upon reaching the destination by providing the user with traffic information that allows them to move from the destination to the starting point without returning to the starting point via a route already taken, thereby minimizing the burden of additional exercise and improving the user's satisfaction with the exercise.

[0070] Recommendation (406) may be information indicating suitability or satisfaction regarding the recommended path provided through the electronic device (101). For example, recommendation (406) may be information expressed as 'like' or 'dislike' used in social network services. Review (407) may be content describing what the user felt while performing the recommended path.

[0072] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the operation of performing a user evaluation of a recommended path selected and performed by a user according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 5(a), the electronic device (101) can select a recommended path by the user. The electronic device (101) can display residual information corresponding to the selected recommended path on the screen. The electronic device (101) can induce the user to exercise by making them aware of the amount of exercise through the residual information displayed on the electronic device (101).

[0074] Referring to FIG. 5(b), the electronic device (101) may further consider the user's evaluation of the recommended paths selected and performed by the user. In other words, the electronic device (101) may accumulate recommended paths selected by the user among the recommended paths provided to the user. By applying the accumulated recommended paths to machine learning, the electronic device (101) may present multiple recommended paths having at least one of a destination, path, and theme personalized to the user.

[0075] For example, when the recommended route is completed, the electronic device (101) provides a pop-up window (501) on the screen and can visualize whether the user's exercise has been completed. The pop-up window (501) may display a link that allows the user to input an evaluation (502) of the recommended route.

[0077] FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an exercise management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] In step (601), the electronic device can determine residual information about the exercise based on the difference between the preset target information about the exercise performed by the user and the current information achieved by the user.

[0079] In step (602), the electronic device may determine multiple recommended paths for the user to complete the remaining information based on at least one of biometric information about the user's body, environmental information about the surrounding situation surrounding the user, and preference information about the user's preferences, and the determined remaining information. The electronic device may determine multiple recommended paths having at least one of a destination, intermediate path, and theme personalized to the user by using data from other users corresponding to at least one of the biometric information, environmental information, and preference information.

[0080] The electronic device can determine multiple recommended routes having at least one of a destination, an intermediate route, and a theme preferred by other users whose physical characteristics are similar to the user to a predetermined degree, starting from the user's current location, and having a distance to complete the remaining information.

[0081] The electronic device can determine the plurality of recommended routes as round-trip and / or one-way routes capable of completing the above-mentioned remaining information. In the case of a one-way route included in the determined plurality of recommended routes, the electronic device can additionally determine traffic information that enables a return from the destination of the one-way route to the starting point. Additionally, the electronic device can determine the plurality of recommended routes by further considering the user's evaluation of the recommended route selected and executed by the user.

[0082] In step (603), the electronic device may provide the user with one of the recommended paths selected by the user among a plurality of recommended paths.
