Description

System and method for providing personalized exercise plan service

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for providing a personalized exercise plan service, and more particularly, to a system and method for providing personalized exercise plan information based on an individual's health checkup information and exercise ability, and for providing accuracy of personalized exercise plan execution and goal achievement information by considering biometric information received from a wearable device such as a smart ring in real time during the execution thereof.

[0002] As the importance of exercise for overcoming disease and improving or maintaining health is emphasized, personalized exercise programs are recommended, with appropriate exercise types, durations, and intensities tailored to each individual. Recently, exercise programs can be hyper-personalized based on an individual's health status, body composition, athletic ability, and training history. Exercise programs can be broadly divided into muscle training and cardiopulmonary exercise. Strength training adjusts exercise intensity by adjusting the weight applied and the number of repetitions, taking into account the individual's muscle strength and musculoskeletal health. Cardiopulmonary exercise adjusts exercise intensity by setting a target heart rate and adjusting the heart rate during exercise accordingly. As described above, strength training and cardiopulmonary exercise differ in how they quantify exercise intensity. Accurately measuring heart rate is essential for controlling heart rate, an indicator of cardiopulmonary exercise intensity. However, measuring heart rate in real time through carotid or radial palpation by individuals reduces both accuracy and convenience.

[0003] The present invention provides a system and method for providing a personalized exercise plan service to solve the above problems.

[0004] A personalized exercise plan service provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a user terminal that transmits the user's first biometric information, the user's body information, and the user's health information measured in a stable state; and a service provision server that generates personalized exercise plan information according to an algorithm based on the user's first biometric information, the user's body information, and the user's health information received from the user terminal, and transmits the generated personalized exercise plan information to the user terminal; wherein the personalized exercise plan information may include an exercise plan for at least one of strength training and aerobic exercise.

[0005] The user terminal transmits at least one of the user's exercise goal and exercise ability information to the service providing server, and the service providing server can generate the personalized exercise plan information by considering at least one of the exercise goal and exercise ability information.

[0006] The above exercise ability information may include subjective reflections of the results of a questionnaire on exercise ability and the results of a physical exercise ability test performed separately by the user.

[0007] One of the user terminal and the service providing server may compare and analyze the user's second biometric information measured in real time from a wearable device and the personalized exercise plan information when the user starts exercising based on the received personalized exercise plan information, and may provide a notification service if, as a result of the analysis, the user's exercise intensity needs to be adjusted.

[0008] Either the user terminal or the service providing server may provide the notification service to adjust the exercise intensity when the real-time heart rate included in the second biometric information is outside the target heart rate range set in the personalized exercise plan information.

[0009] One of the user terminal and the service providing server can, when the user starts exercising based on the received personalized exercise plan information, proceed with the exercise according to a set program, accumulate and store the user's third biometric information measured in real time from a wearable device in units of seconds for a certain period of time until the user enters a stable period after the end of the exercise, and analyze the accumulated and stored third biometric information and compare it with the accumulated average value to evaluate the improvement in the user's cardiopulmonary capacity.

[0010] Meanwhile, a method for providing a personalized exercise plan service according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: (A) a step in which a user terminal transmits the user's first biometric information, the user's body information, and the user's health information measured in a stable state; (B) a step in which a service providing server generates personalized exercise plan information based on the user's first biometric information, the user's body information, and the user's health information received from the user terminal; and (C) a step in which the service providing server transmits the generated personalized exercise plan information to the user terminal; wherein the personalized exercise plan information may include an exercise plan for at least one of strength training and cardiopulmonary exercise.

[0011] In the step (A), the user terminal may further transmit at least one of the user's exercise goal and exercise ability information to the service providing server, and in the step (B), the service providing server may further consider at least one of the exercise goal and exercise ability information to generate the personalized exercise plan information.

[0012] (D) a step of comparing and analyzing the second biometric information of the user measured in real time from a wearable device with the personalized exercise plan information when the user starts exercising based on the personalized exercise plan information, by either the user terminal or the service providing server; and (E) a step of providing a notification service when the user's exercise intensity needs to be adjusted based on the analysis result, by either the user terminal or the service providing server.

[0013] In the above step (E), if either the user terminal or the service providing server determines that the real-time heart rate included in the second biometric information is outside the target heart rate range set in the personalized exercise plan information, the notification service can be provided to adjust the exercise intensity.

[0014] (F) The method may further include a step of accumulating and storing third biometric information of the user measured in real time from a wearable device when the user starts exercising based on personalized exercise plan information, and analyzing the accumulated and stored third biometric information to evaluate the degree of improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity of the user.

[0015] In the above step (F), the improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity can be evaluated by comparing the average value of the user's cumulative recovery heart rate with the recovery heart rate measured for a certain period of time immediately after the end of exercise among the third biometric information.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present invention, user convenience can be improved by providing personalized exercise plan information on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis by considering biometric information received from a wearable device such as a smart ring in real time.

[0017] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user's heart rate can be accurately monitored by measuring the user's biometric information (e.g., heart rate) in real time on a second-by-second basis, and information on the intensity of exercise being performed in real time can be displayed to the user.

[0018] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the appropriate heart rate range and time to be maintained during exercise are calculated based on the individual's characteristics (e.g., age, gender, heart rate, medical history, body fat percentage, body type, etc.), and this is provided as a service, thereby enabling the user to perform exercise appropriate to his / her goal.

[0019] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the heart rate during exercise deviates from the appropriate heart rate range, the exercise effect can be increased by guiding the user to adjust the heart rate range with real-time voice, notification sound, or vibration.

[0020] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the degree of improvement in the user's cardiopulmonary capacity can be evaluated by comparing the heart rate after exercise with the previously accumulated and stored heart rate average value and displaying it in real time, so that the user can easily check the degree of improvement in his or her cardiopulmonary capacity.

[0021] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a daily survey is conducted before starting exercise to receive information about the user's physical condition, a daily survey checklist including the user's physical condition is created, the survey is conducted, and personalized exercise plan information is adjusted based on the results, thereby providing a customized service that takes into account the user's level of improvement.

[0042] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0043] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a personalized exercise plan service provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 1, a personalized exercise plan service provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a smart ring (100), a user terminal (200), and a service provision server (300).

[0045] The smart ring (100) is a wearable device that can be attached to the user's body and used by wirelessly linking with a user terminal (200). The smart ring (100) uses sensors to measure the user's biometric information, gait information, and exercise time without time or location restrictions, and feeds back the measured biometric information, gait information, or exercise time to the user terminal (200). For example, biometric information includes heartbeats per second, i.e., heart rate, and gait information includes steps per minute.

[0046] Hereinafter, the biometric information measured before the user starts exercising, i.e. in a stable state, is referred to as first biometric information, the biometric information measured during exercising is referred to as second biometric information, and the biometric information measured until the user enters a stable state after the end of exercising is referred to as third biometric information.

[0047] Figure 2 is a perspective view and a cross-sectional view according to an example of a smart ring (100), which is one of the wearable devices.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 2, a smart ring (100) may include a body (110), a wearing position confirmation unit (120), a motion recognition sensor (130), an inductive protrusion (140), a photoplethysmography sensor (150), and a battery (160). The body (110) has a ring shape, and the wearing position confirmation unit (120) is formed to be located in the center of the back of the user's finger. The motion recognition sensor (130) is a sensor that recognizes the user's movement, gait, and action, and may be, for example, a 3-axis gyro sensor. The inductive protrusion (140) presses the inside of the finger to induce the skin of the lower part of the finger to come into close contact with the photoplethysmography sensor (150). The photoplethysmography sensor (150) is a PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensor that measures blood flow using light, and can measure biometric information. The battery (160) supplies power to each component of the smart ring (100).

[0049] Referring again to FIG. 1, the user terminal (200) is a computing device capable of wired or wireless communication, short-range communication or long-range communication, and capable of installing and executing a personalized exercise application provided by a service providing server (300), such as a smartphone, personal computer, laptop, tablet PC, etc.

[0050] After activating a personalized exercise application, the user terminal (200) can request a service providing server (300) to generate a personalized exercise plan. The user terminal (200) can receive at least one of the user's first biometric information and gait information measured by the smart ring (100) through short-range communication such as Bluetooth or WiFi. The user terminal (200) can transmit at least one of the first biometric information, gait information, the user's body information, health information, the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise type, and exercise ability information to the service providing server (300).

[0051] The first biometric information is biometric information measured in a normal, stable breathing state, including heartbeats per second, and the gait information includes steps per minute. The user's body information is body composition measurement information such as Inbody data, including various body composition information such as weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and body fat mass. The user's health information is health checkup data, including data measured at a hospital or health checkup center. The user's exercise goal is a goal that the user wants to achieve through exercise, such as weight loss, body fat reduction, muscle mass increase, muscle strength improvement, and cardiopulmonary fitness increase. The user's preferred exercise type refers to the exercise that the user likes. The user's exercise ability information includes the results of a survey conducted on exercise ability and the results of a physical exercise ability test performed by the user according to the instructions of the service providing server (300).

[0052] The service providing server (300) can generate personalized exercise plan information based on at least one of the user's first biometric information, gait information, body information, health information, the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise type, and exercise ability information received from the user terminal (200), and transmit the generated personalized exercise plan information to the user terminal (200).

[0053] When personalized exercise plan information is generated in the service providing server (300), the user terminal (200) displays multiple user interface screens so that the user can exercise based on the generated personalized exercise plan information, thereby allowing the user to exercise according to the personalized exercise plan by referring to the multiple user interface screens.

[0054] When a user starts exercising based on personalized exercise plan information displayed on a user terminal (200), either the user terminal (200) or the service providing server (300) can compare and analyze the user's second biometric information measured in real time from the smart ring (100) and the personalized exercise plan information, and if adjustment of the user's exercise intensity is necessary, provide a notification service to adjust the exercise intensity.

[0055] In addition, when the user finishes exercising, either the user terminal (200) or the service providing server (300) can analyze the user's third biometric information measured in real time from the smart ring (100) after the end of the exercise to evaluate the user's improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity.

[0056] As described above, when a user starts exercising after personalized exercise plan information is generated by the service providing server (300), either the user terminal (200) or the service providing server (300) can determine whether the user needs to adjust the exercise intensity based on the second biometric information and calculate the user's cardiopulmonary capacity improvement based on the third biometric information. Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the service providing server (300) analyzes whether exercise intensity adjustment is needed based on the biometric information and calculates the cardiopulmonary capacity improvement will be described.

[0057] FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a service providing server (300) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 3, a service providing server (300) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a communication interface unit (310), a user interface unit (320), a display unit (330), a memory (340), a database (DB) (350), and a processor (360).

[0059] The communication interface unit (310) includes a communication circuit for wired or wireless communication with the user terminal (200) through a network. The communication circuit includes a wireless communication circuit (e.g., a cellular communication circuit, a short-range wireless communication circuit, or a GNSS (global navigation satellite system) communication circuit) or a wired communication circuit (e.g., a LAN (local area network) communication circuit, or a power line communication circuit), and using the corresponding communication circuit, communication with the user terminal (200) can be made through a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, WiFi direct, or IrDA (infrared data association), or a long-range communication network such as a cellular network, the Internet, or a computer network.

[0060] As an example, the communication interface unit (310) may receive at least one of the first to third biometric information, gait information, the user's body information, health information, the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise information, and exercise ability information from the user terminal (200), and transmit personalized exercise plan information, adjusted exercise intensity, and cardiopulmonary capacity improvement to the user terminal (200).

[0061] The user interface unit (320) provides an interfacing path between the service providing server (300) and the user, and examples thereof include a keyboard, a touch panel, etc.

[0062] The display unit (330) may be a display panel that displays the processing result corresponding to a user command through the user interface unit (320) and the current status of the service providing server (300).

[0063] The memory (340) may include volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory. For example, the memory (340) may store commands or data related to components, one or more programs and / or software, an operating system, etc., to implement and / or provide operations, functions, etc. provided by the service provision server (300).

[0064] A personalized exercise plan generation program may be stored in the memory (340). The personalized exercise plan generation program may generate a personalized exercise plan based on at least one of first biometric information, gait information, the user's body information, health information, the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise information, and exercise ability information, adjust the exercise intensity of the personalized exercise plan based on second biometric information, and calculate the degree of improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity based on third biometric information.

[0065] Additionally, the personalized exercise plan generator can calculate heart rate per second from biometric data, display notifications when exercise intensity needs to be adjusted, and generate graphs showing improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness after exercise. Furthermore, the personalized exercise plan generator can conduct daily surveys with users and adjust the personalized exercise plan based on the survey results.

[0066] DB (350) can store personal information entered by the user in the user terminal (200) when registering as a member, the user's exercise goal, the type of exercise preferred by the user, and information on food consumed.

[0067] Additionally, DB (350) can store the results of a user-administered exercise ability survey, actual physical exercise ability test results, and daily survey results.

[0068] Additionally, DB (350) stores exercise guideline information that explains the correct exercise method for each exercise type (e.g., heel raise squat, running, reverse lunge dumbbell, etc.). The exercise guideline information may include information on disease-specific muscle strengthening exercise guidelines, disease-specific lactic acidosis exercise guidelines, and body part-specific muscle strengthening exercise guidelines.

[0069] In addition, the DB (350) stores the heart rate of a user who has subscribed to a service that provides a personalized exercise plan through a user terminal (200) by dividing it into a resting heart rate (e.g., first biometric information), a heart rate during exercise (e.g., second biometric information), and a heart rate after exercise (e.g., third biometric information), and can further store exercise-related information such as the user's exercise time per session and the user's accumulated exercise time.

[0070] The processor (360) controls the overall operation of the service providing server (300) by executing one or more programs stored in the memory (340).

[0071] The processor (360) can generate personalized exercise plan information based on at least one of the user's first biometric information, gait information, body information, health information, the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise information, and exercise ability information received from the user terminal (200), and transmit the generated personalized exercise plan information to the user terminal (200).

[0072] Personalized exercise plan information may include a plan for at least one of strength training and aerobic exercise (e.g., exercise type, exercise intensity, exercise duration, target heart rate range during exercise), as well as guidelines for executing the exercise. Furthermore, personalized exercise plan information may include exercise plans divided into monthly, weekly, and daily plans.

[0073] When personalized exercise plan information is generated, the processor (360) can transmit data necessary to generate multiple user interface screens to the user terminal (200) so that the user can exercise based on the generated personalized exercise plan information.

[0074] The user terminal (200) generates and displays multiple user interface screens using the received personalized exercise plan information and personalized exercise application, and the user can use the service by performing personalized exercise with reference to the multiple user interface screens.

[0075] For example, when a user starts exercising based on personalized exercise plan information through a screen provided by a personalized exercise application, the user terminal (200) can transmit the user's second biometric information measured in real time by the smart ring (100) and information on the exercise type currently in progress to the service providing server (300) in real time.

[0076] The processor (360) may compare and analyze the user's second biometric information measured and received in real time with the personalized exercise plan information, and if the analysis result indicates that the user's exercise intensity needs to be adjusted, the processor may provide a notification service to adjust the exercise intensity. The service providing server (300) may provide a notification service to adjust the exercise intensity if the real-time heart rate included in the second biometric information is outside the target heart rate range set in the personalized exercise plan information. For example, if the real-time heart rate is lower than the lowest heart rate of the target heart rate range, a message notifying the user to increase the aerobic exercise intensity may be generated and transmitted to the user terminal (200), and the user terminal (200) may notify the user to adjust the exercise intensity by various methods such as real-time voice, notification sound, vibration, or screen display. Conversely, if the real-time heart rate is higher than the highest heart rate of the target heart rate range, a message notifying the user to decrease the aerobic exercise intensity may be generated and transmitted to the user terminal (200), and the user terminal (200) may notify the user to adjust the exercise intensity by various methods such as vibration, alarm sound, or screen display.

[0077] In addition, when the user finishes the exercise that was started based on the personalized exercise plan information, the personalized exercise application of the user terminal (200) switches to recovery mode and transmits the user's third biometric information measured in real time from the smart ring (100) after the end of the exercise to the service providing server (300).

[0078] The processor (360) can accumulate and store the received third-party biometric information in the DB (350), analyze the accumulated third-party biometric information, and compare it with the user's accumulated average data to evaluate the improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity. The service providing server (300) can accumulate and store the third-party biometric information from the time the exercise ends until entering the stable period (or recovery period), or can accumulate and store the third-party biometric information for a certain period of time (e.g., 3 minutes) from the time the exercise ends. The stable period can be a state in which the heart rate is stable, such as the heart rate before exercising.

[0079] When a user ends exercise, the processor (360) can evaluate the improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity by comparing the recovery heart rate measured for a certain period of time immediately after the end of exercise with the average of the user's cumulative recovery heart rate among the third biometric information. The average of the cumulative recovery heart rate represents the average of heartbeats per second measured and accumulated over a certain period of time immediately after the end of exercise each time the user exercises based on personalized exercise plan information.

[0080] For example, heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. The normal range for resting heart rate is 40 to 100 beats per minute, but there is significant individual variation. A lower heart rate is generally considered to indicate better heart function. Exercise increases heart rate, and the more intense the exercise, the greater the increase. Furthermore, heart rate decreases with increased cardiorespiratory fitness due to regular aerobic exercise, and increases with inactivity. Recovery heart rate refers to how quickly a heart rate that has risen sharply during exercise returns to normal levels immediately after exercise. For example, recovery heart rate can be calculated by measuring heart rate for three minutes immediately following exercise. For example, if exercise ends at 10:25:07, recovery mode is activated, and the recovery heart rate can be measured and calculated for three minutes from 10:25:08 to 10:28:07.

[0081] Heart rate represents the total number of times the heart beats in one minute, but it fluctuates at any given moment depending on various factors. Even if the heart rate measured immediately after a run is, for example, 160, if the user stops moving for 10 seconds, the heart will rapidly decrease its rate as it does not need to supply as much blood to the body. Based on this principle, by measuring and collecting the decreasing heart rate at one-second intervals through the Smart Ring (100), the trend of heart rate decrease over the three minutes immediately after exercise, during which the heart recovers, can be generated on the x-axis of a graph in second units. In particular, measuring heart rate per second can identify the period in which the heart rate rapidly decreases. For example, it can be determined whether the heart rate rapidly decreases between 20 and 60 seconds after exercise or between 150 and 180 seconds after exercise. A rapid decrease immediately after exercise indicates a good recovery ability of the heart, i.e., an improvement in cardiopulmonary fitness. In particular, since the heart rate is measured at relatively shorter intervals of 1 second rather than 30 seconds or 1 minute, it is possible to accurately identify the section where the heart rate drops sharply. In an embodiment of the present invention, the personalized exercise application of the user terminal (200) and the service providing server (300) automatically switch to recovery mode at the same time as the exercise ends, and the service providing server (300) can generate a line graph showing the third biometric information (particularly, heart rate) measured by the smart ring (100) for 3 minutes and transmit it to the user terminal (200). In particular, by displaying the average value of the user's cumulative recovery heart rate in a different color on the line graph, it is possible to compare the recovery ability of the heart rate compared to the previous exercise in real time.

[0082] Additionally, the processor (360) may conduct a daily survey when the user completes a workout and adjust the exercise plan based on personalized exercise plan information based on the daily survey results. For example, if the survey results indicate that the user's fatigue level has increased compared to before, the exercise intensity or duration may be adjusted downward.

[0083] Additionally, when the user finishes exercising, the processor (360) can create a health report showing the amount of exercise per day, week, and month and transmit it to the user terminal (200).

[0084] Below, a description is given of multiple user interface screens provided by the service provision server (300) with reference to FIGS. 4 to 12.

[0085] Figure 4 is a drawing showing an example of a screen for entering exercise ability information through a personalized exercise application.

[0086] Referring to FIG. 4, a user installs and runs a personalized exercise application via a user terminal (200) and then performs membership registration. Once membership registration is completed via the membership registration screen (410) and the user's exercise goals, preferred exercise types, and food intake information are entered, the user terminal (200) displays an exercise ability survey screen (420) received from the service providing server (300). The exercise ability survey screen (420) includes a plurality of questions for evaluating the user's usual exercise ability.

[0087] Upon completion of the survey, the user terminal (200) displays an exercise ability test screen (430) received from the service provision server (300). The exercise ability test screen (430) displays one or more exercises to evaluate the user's current exercise ability and then requests the user to follow along for a set period of time. The exercise tested on the exercise ability test screen (430) is an exercise that can be tested via the smart ring (100) or the user terminal (200). For example, a one-minute run can be tested to evaluate cardiopulmonary capacity.

[0088] Figure 5 is an example of a screen that inputs and displays health information and body information through a personalized exercise application.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 5, the user terminal (200) performs user authentication according to a user command, and then retrieves the user's health checkup information from a health checkup server (not shown) and displays it on a health checkup screen (510). The health checkup server (not shown) may be a server of a hospital where the user underwent a health checkup, or a server of the National Health Insurance Service that stores health checkup data. Once the downloading of the health information is complete, the user terminal (200) receives the user's body information from the user or retrieves it from a body information provision server (not shown) and displays it on a body information screen (520). In addition, the user may manually input additional diseases of the user that are not displayed on the health checkup screen (510) and body information of the user that is not displayed on the body information screen (520).

[0090] The user terminal (200) can transmit the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise type, information on food consumed, various exercise ability information (survey results on exercise ability and exercise ability test results), health information and body information, which are input from the user terminal (200) through screens (410, 420, 430, 510, 520, 610, 620), to the service providing server (300). The service providing server (300) can store at least one of the exercise goal, exercise ability information (survey results on exercise ability and exercise ability test results), health information and body information received from the user terminal (200) in the DB (350).

[0091] Figure 6 is an example of a screen showing health type determination based on personal health data analysis results and muscle mass information based on body composition analysis results.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 6, the service providing server (300) analyzes at least one of the results of a survey on exercise ability, results of an exercise ability test, health information, and body information received, and the user terminal (200) can generate and display first and second personal health analysis screens (610, 620) showing the results analyzed by the service providing server (300).

[0093] The first personal health analysis screen (610) displays the user's health risk status, including muscle loss, obesity, diabetes, anemia, and dyslipidemia. The second personal health analysis screen (620) displays the user's muscle strength or muscle mass by body part and provides a detailed description of the muscle condition of each body part.

[0094] In addition, the service providing server (300) can input at least one of the received first biometric information, gait information, exercise goal, preferred exercise, exercise ability information (exercise ability survey and exercise ability test), health information, and body information into an AI model to generate personalized exercise plan information, and transmit the generated personalized exercise plan information to the user terminal (200).

[0095] Figures 7 and 8 are examples of multiple personalized exercise screens showing personalized exercise plan information.

[0096] Referring to FIG. 7, when personalized exercise plan information is generated, the service providing server (300) can transmit the generated personalized exercise plan information to the user terminal (200). The user terminal (200) can generate and display an initial home screen (710) using initial data from the received personalized exercise plan information.

[0097] The initial home screen (710) may include the user's nutritional information, information on the user's exercise performed today, and a menu bar. The nutritional information is information analyzed by AI on the service providing server (300) based on food information entered by the user after executing the personalized exercise application. The exercise information is information analyzed by AI on the service providing server (300) by classifying the user's exercise volume information into strength training and aerobic exercise, if any, if the user performed any exercise today. The menu bar includes a home menu that displays the initial home screen, a nutrilog menu for entering nutritional information, a fitlog menu for entering exercise information, and a health report menu for requesting a report on the user's health analysis results.

[0098] When a user selects the Fitlog menu (711) from the menu bar, the user terminal (200) can generate and display a personal exercise plan screen (720) showing a monthly exercise plan (721), an exercise solution composition ratio (722), and a list of exercises to be performed today (723) from among the received personalized exercise plan information. When a date is selected from the monthly exercise plan (721), the user terminal (200) can display an exercise plan corresponding to the selected date. The exercise solution composition ratio (722) shows the ratio of strength training and aerobic exercise. The exercise list (723) shows the types of exercise to be performed today and the expected exercise time.

[0099] When a user selects running (723a) from the exercise list (723), the user terminal (200) can display an exercise selection screen (730) that receives and displays exercise guideline information for running from the service providing server (300).

[0100] The exercise selection screen (730) shows the exercise time, equipment (e.g., sneakers), and target heart rate (e.g., 130 BPM) for the selected exercise, running. The target heart rate is a heart rate recommended to reach the maximum heart rate (e.g., 130 BPM) while running, which is an aerobic exercise. When the user selects the exercise menu (731), the user terminal (200) can generate and display a screen showing the second biometric information measured in real time by the smart ring (100) and the exercise time, and a screen recommending rest during exercise.

[0101] In addition, the service providing server (300) can compare the heart rate among the received second biometric information with the target heart rate set in the personalized exercise plan information, and provide a notification service to adjust the exercise intensity if the user needs to adjust the exercise intensity. For example, if the real-time measured heart rate is lower than the target heart rate, the service providing server (300) can generate a message to notify the user to increase the heart rate by increasing the running speed, and if the real-time measured heart rate is higher than the target heart rate, the service providing server (300) can generate a message to notify the user to decrease the heart rate by decreasing the running speed, and the user terminal (200) can display the generated message and output an alarm sound or vibration to the outside so that the user can recognize it.

[0102] In addition, when the reverse lunge dumbbell (723b) is selected from the exercise list (723) of the personal exercise plan screen (720), the user terminal (200) can generate and display an exercise selection screen (740) that shows the exercise grade of the reverse lunge dumbbell, the dumbbell weight, the amount of exercise the user should do, and the exercise method. The exercise grade can indicate the exercise difficulty. When the user selects the exercise menu (741), the user terminal (200) can generate and display a screen that counts and shows the number of times the user has exercised and a screen that recommends resting during exercise.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 8, when a user completes a set amount of exercise according to the exercise guidelines displayed on the exercise selection screen (740), the user terminal (200) may generate and display an exercise completion screen (810) showing the amount of exercise performed by the user. The amount of exercise performed by the user may be accumulated and recorded on the user terminal (200) or the service provision server (300), and may include the total exercise time consumed.

[0104] For example, the smart ring (100) can sense the user's posture and blood flow each time the user changes his / her posture by holding a dumbbell and moving his / her right or left foot, and transmit the sensed signal (for example, the signal sensed by the motion recognition sensor (130) and the PPG sensor (140)) to the user terminal (200). The user terminal (200) transmits the sensed signal received from the smart ring (100) as second biometric information to the service providing server (300). The service providing server (300) can analyze the received second biometric information to determine the type of exercise performed by the user, the number of times the user has exercised, and whether the user has completed the exercise, and transmit to the user terminal (200) that the exercise has been completed.

[0105] In this way, the user terminal (200) displays an exercise completion screen (810). When the user selects the exercise completion menu (811) among the exercise completion screens (810), the user terminal (200) can create and display a personal exercise plan screen (820) indicating that running and reverse lunge dumbbells have been completed.

[0106] Figure 9 is an example of a graph screen showing the user's cardiopulmonary capacity improvement.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 9, when a user finishes the personalized exercise assigned to him / her for the day, the service providing server (300) calculates the heart rate per second from the third biometric information measured in real time by the smart ring (100), and then generates a first graph (910) showing the calculated heart rate per second. In addition, the service providing server (300) generates a second graph (920) showing the average value of the third biometric information measured and accumulated each time the user finishes the personalized exercise, i.e., the average value of the accumulated recovery heart rate, in seconds. The user terminal (200) displays a cardiopulmonary capacity evaluation screen (900) showing the first graph (910) and the second graph (920) on one screen.

[0108] In the case of the cardiopulmonary capacity evaluation screen (900) illustrated in FIG. 9, looking at the first graph (910), the degree of decline in the recovery heart rate measured from immediately after the end of exercise until a certain period of time has elapsed (i.e., the downward slope or downward speed of the heart rate) is greater than the degree of decline in the cumulative recovery heart rate average. For example, the recovery heart rate measured in real time is 180 beats per second immediately after the end of exercise, and decreased to 155 beats after 1 minute. On the other hand, the cumulative recovery heart rate average is 180 beats per second immediately after the end of exercise, and decreased to 170 beats after 1 minute. Therefore, the service providing server (300) can determine that the user's heart rate recovery speed (i.e., cardiopulmonary capacity) has improved compared to before, because the recovery heart rate measured in real time immediately after the end of exercise decreases faster than the cumulative recovery heart rate average.

[0109] Figure 10 is an example of the daily home screen and health report screen.

[0110] Referring to FIG. 10, when a user selects a health report menu (1001) from a personal exercise plan screen (1000), the user terminal (200) displays a health report initial screen (1010) that allows the user to select one of daily, weekly, and monthly. The service providing server (300) creates a daily health report, weekly health report, or monthly health report according to the user's selection on the health report initial screen (1010) and transmits the report to the user terminal (200), and the user terminal (200) displays the received health report. The daily health report analyzes and reports the results of exercise performed by the user according to the personalized exercise plan (e.g., daily exercise time, exercise volume, etc.) on a daily basis, the weekly health report analyzes and reports on a weekly basis, and the monthly health report analyzes and reports on a monthly basis.

[0111] Meanwhile, the service provision server (300) may further conduct a daily survey to check the user's condition before exercising according to a personalized exercise plan set for today after the user logs in.

[0112] Figure 11 is an example of a daily survey screen, and Figure 12 is an example of a personalized exercise plan screen adjusted based on the daily survey results.

[0113] Referring to FIG. 11, when the Fitlog menu (711) is selected on the initial home screen (710), the service providing server (300) can generate and display a daily survey screen (1100, 1110) as in FIG. 11 before or after generating a personal exercise plan screen (720). The daily survey screen (1100, 1110) can be generated in the form of a pop-up window right before the user starts today's exercise, and can check the user's mood and today's physical condition right before the user confirms the exercise to be done today according to the personalized exercise plan, and can adjust the previously generated personalized exercise plan according to the checked mood or physical condition of the user. For example, if the physical condition is not good, the user can be instructed to perform an exercise with an easier intensity or a reduced exercise time than the exercise given today.

[0114] Referring to FIG. 12, the service providing server (300) analyzes the user's daily survey results to adjust previously generated personalized exercise plan information, and the user terminal (200) can display a screen (1200) showing the adjusted personalized exercise plan information. For example, the service providing server (300) can adjust at least one of the ratio of strength training and aerobic exercise, the type of exercise, the amount of exercise, and the target heart rate.

[0115]

[0116] FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a personalized exercise plan service of a service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] Referring to FIG. 13, when a user terminal (200) receives a request for a personalized exercise plan service from a user, the user terminal (200) may receive and store at least one of the first biometric information and gait information from the smart ring (100) (S1310, S1320). Upon the request of the user terminal (200), the smart ring (100) may transmit to the user terminal (200) at least one of the first biometric information and gait information measured when the user is in a stable state.

[0118] The user terminal (200) can receive membership registration information, the user's exercise goals, preferred exercise types, information on food consumed, various exercise ability information (results of a survey on exercise ability and results of an exercise ability test), health information and body information from the user through screens provided by the personalized exercise application (e.g., (410, 420, 430, 510, 520, 610, 620), and then transmit the information to the service providing server (300) along with at least one of the first biometric information and gait information (S1330, S1340).

[0119] The service providing server (300) can store first biometric information, gait information, membership registration information, the user's exercise goal, preferred exercise type, information on food consumed, various exercise ability information, health information, and body information received from the user terminal (200) in the DB (350) (S1350).

[0120] The service providing server (300) can input at least one of the stored first biometric information, gait information, exercise goal, preferred exercise, exercise ability information, health information, and body information into the AI ​​model to generate personalized exercise plan information and then transmit the information to the user terminal (200) (S1360, S1370).

[0121] When personalized exercise plan information is initiated at the user's request (S1380), the user terminal (200) can transmit second biometric information measured and received in real time from the smart ring (100) to the service providing server (300) (S1390, S1400). In step S1380, the user terminal (200) can display a daily survey screen (1100) as shown in FIG. 11 to receive further information on the user's physical condition, and can also provide the user with personalized exercise plan information adjusted based on the user's physical condition from the service providing server (300).

[0122] The service provision server (300) stores the received second biometric information in the DB (350), and compares the second biometric information with the target heart rate set in the personalized exercise plan information to determine whether exercise intensity adjustment is necessary (S1410).

[0123] If it is determined in step S1410 that exercise intensity adjustment is necessary, the service providing server (300) can generate a notification message notifying the user to adjust the exercise intensity and transmit it to the user terminal (200) (S1420).

[0124] The user terminal (200) may display the received notification message to notify the user to adjust the exercise intensity, and may additionally output a vibration sound, an alarm sound, etc. (S1430). The exercise intensity adjustment may be adjusted upward to increase the heart rate or downward to lower the heart rate based on the set target heart rate range.

[0125] When a user finishes exercising according to a personalized exercise plan (S1440), the smart ring (100) measures third-party biometric information in real time by the second for a set period of time and transmits the measured information to the user terminal (200), and the user terminal (200) can transmit the third-party biometric information to the service providing server (300) (S1450, S1460).

[0126] The service provision server (300) can evaluate the improvement in the user's cardiopulmonary capacity by comparing the average value of the accumulated recovery heart rate with the third-party biometric information measured and received for a certain period of time after the end of exercise (S1470).

[0127] The service provision server (300) can generate a graph (e.g., 900) showing the heart rate per second and the average cumulative recovery heart rate among the third biometric information received over a certain period of time in step S1470 and then transmit the graph to the user terminal (200) (S1480).

[0128] The user terminal (200) displays a graph showing the evaluation results of the received cardiopulmonary capacity improvement (S1490).

[0129] While the present invention has been described in connection with certain embodiments herein, it should be understood that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, such modifications and variations should be considered to fall within the scope of the claims appended to this specification.
