For example, if the types of information related to exercise are exercise time, average speed, average heart rate, exercise calories, steps, average cadence, gender, and weight, then the corresponding information may be 150 minutes per week, 4.8 km / h, 133 bpm, 300 calories per hour, 35,000 steps per week, 112 steps per minute, female, 55 kg.

[0071] In operation 430, a user device (200) according to an embodiment can obtain information corresponding to a type of information related to an exercise event stored in a memory (120) and transmit the information to a server device (100).

[0072] Meanwhile, the user device (200) may not transmit information corresponding to the type of information related to the exercise event to the server device (100) in the form of raw data to protect user data. For example, the user device (200) may identify which group the user belongs to among multiple groups and then transmit the group to which the user belongs to the server device (100). The group descriptions are described in detail in operations 435 and 440 below.

[0073] In operation 435, a server device (100) according to an embodiment can identify a user's exercise ability based on information corresponding to a type of information related to an exercise type.

[0074] The user's exercise ability may refer to information that quantifies the exercise performance ability of one user among multiple users in order to compare the exercise performance abilities of multiple users.

[0075] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) can quantify the user's exercise ability based on information corresponding to the type of information related to the exercise type.

[0076] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) may score information (hereinafter referred to as “corresponding information”) corresponding to a type of information related to an exercise event. For example, the processor (110) may determine a score of the corresponding information based on mapping information for a score according to the corresponding information and a range of the corresponding information. The mapping information for a score according to the range of the corresponding information may be stored in the memory (120). For example, if the type of information related to an exercise event is exercise time, the server device (100) may store mapping information such that if the exercise time is less than 100 minutes in two weeks, 60 points are corresponding, if the exercise time is 100 to 200 minutes in two weeks, 80 points are corresponding, and if the exercise time is 200 minutes or more in two weeks, 100 points are corresponding. If the first user's exercise time is 150 minutes per two weeks and the second user's exercise time is 250 minutes per two weeks, the processor (110) can identify the first user's exercise time as 80 points and the second user's exercise time as 100 points.

[0077] The processor (110) can obtain a final score based on the scored corresponding information and weights. For example, the processor (110) can obtain a weight corresponding to the type of information related to the sport stored in the memory (120). The processor (110) can obtain a final score by multiplying the obtained weights by the scores of the corresponding information and adding them together.

[0078] However, the above is not limited to this, and the processor (110) can quantify the user's motor skills in various ways other than the above-described methods. For example, the processor (110) can obtain scores for the corresponding information and then add up the corresponding information to obtain a final score.

[0079] In operation 440, the server device (100) according to one embodiment can obtain a correction value based on the user's motor ability.

[0080] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) may divide a plurality of users into a plurality of groups based on their numerical exercise abilities. The processor (110) may obtain a rank for each of the plurality of users participating in the challenge based on the final scores of the plurality of users. The processor (110) may divide the plurality of users into a plurality of groups based on the ranks. For example, if 30 users participate in the challenge, the processor (110) may obtain the ranks of the plurality of users based on the final scores. The processor (110) may divide the users ranked 1st to 10th into a first group, the users ranked 11th to 20th into a second group, and the users ranked 21st to 30th into a third group.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) may obtain a correction value corresponding to each of the plurality of groups. The processor (110) may obtain the correction value based on the average exercise ability of the plurality of users participating in the challenge and the correction value corresponding to each of the plurality of groups, and the average exercise ability of the plurality of users included in the group. For example, if the processor (110) determines that the average exercise ability of the plurality of users included in a first group among the plurality of groups is higher than the average exercise ability of the plurality of users participating in the challenge, the processor (110) may obtain a correction value that increases the target value.

[0082] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) may obtain a correction value by dividing the average exercise capacity of the plurality of users included in the first group by the average exercise capacity of the plurality of users participating in the challenge. For example, if the average exercise capacity of the plurality of users included in the first group is 100 and the average exercise capacity of the plurality of users participating in the challenge is 80, the processor (110) may obtain 1.25 as the correction value for the first group.

[0083] According to one embodiment, when there are two users participating in a challenge, the processor (110) may generate a correction value based on the exercise ability of the user with a lower exercise ability. The processor (110) may determine the correction value of the reference user as 1. For example, when the exercise ability of the first user is lower than that of the second user, the processor (110) may determine the correction value of the first user with a lower exercise ability as 1. The processor (110) may determine the correction value of the second user as a value obtained by dividing the exercise ability of the second user by the exercise ability of the first user. For example, when the exercise ability of the first user is 50 and the exercise ability of the second user is 100, the processor (110) may determine the correction value of the first user as 1 and the correction value of the second user as 2.

[0084] In operation 445, the server device (100) according to one embodiment may transmit a correction value to the user device (200). In operation 450, the user device (200) according to one embodiment may correct the target value based on the correction value. For example, the processor (110) may correct the target value by multiplying the correction value by the target value. For example, if the target value of a first user among a plurality of users is 20 km in two weeks and the correction value is 1.5, the corrected target value of the first user may be 30 km. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and after correcting the target value based on the correction value in the server device (100), the corrected target value may be transmitted to the user device (200).

[0085] Meanwhile, the operation of correcting the target value based on information corresponding to the type of information related to the exercise event is not limited to the operation described above. For example, the processor (110) may receive information corresponding to the type of information related to the exercise event as input using a machine learning model and obtain a final score based on the weight corresponding to each piece of information. The machine learning model may be trained using algorithms such as linear regression, logistic regression, and support vector machines.

[0086] In operation 455, a user device (200) according to an embodiment may display a UI screen including a corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value on a display (220). Details of displaying a UI screen including a corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value on a display (220) are described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12.

[0087] According to one embodiment, the series of operations described in FIG. 4 may be independently performed by the server device (100) or the user device (200). In one embodiment, the series of operations for correcting the target value of a user participating in a challenge may be separately performed by the user device (200) and / or the server device (100). For example, among the operations of the present disclosure, “Operation A” may be performed by the “user device,” and “Operation B” may be performed by the “server.” Since examples of various implementation methods of the present disclosure, such as those described above, are self-evident, their description will be omitted in the present disclosure for the sake of brevity.

[0088] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a UI screen presented to a user when selecting a challenge according to one embodiment.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 5, the processor (110) can participate in a pre-generated challenge or create a challenge based on user input. The user can select a general competition (510) or a compensation competition (520). The general competition (510) may refer to a challenge that does not compensate for the target value. The compensation competition (520) may refer to a challenge that compensates for the target value.

[0090] The processor (110) can obtain exercise types (530) and target values ​​based on user input. Multiple users can participate in the challenge together, even with different exercise abilities, through a compensation competition (520). The processor (110) can recommend favorite types of exercise at the top based on the user's exercise data or input.

[0091] Meanwhile, if multiple challenges have been pre-generated, the processor (110) can obtain the difference between the average exercise ability of multiple users participating in each of the multiple challenges and the exercise ability of the user corresponding to the user device. Based on the obtained difference in exercise ability, the processor (110) can determine which challenge among the multiple challenges is appropriate for participation. The processor (110) can preferentially recommend a challenge comprised of users with a relatively small difference in exercise ability.

[0092] FIGS. 6A to 6C are drawings for explaining the display of a UI screen including a corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value according to one embodiment.

[0093] Before starting a challenge, the user device (200) can display a corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value on the display (220).

[0094] FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a case in which a user device (200) displays a character (610) corresponding to a corrected target value and a UI element (615) indicating a distribution of the target value, according to one embodiment.

[0095] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) may display a character (610) corresponding to the corrected target value based on the user's corrected target value and a UI element (615) indicating the distribution of the target value. The character corresponding to the corrected target value is described in detail in FIGS. 8 and 9. The UI element (615) indicating the distribution of the target value may refer to a bar-shaped UI element indicating the position of the user's corrected target value based on the target value before correction. The processor (110) may display an indicator indicating the position of the user's corrected target value on the UI element (615) indicating the distribution of the target value. The target value that serves as a reference may refer to the user's target value before correction. In addition, the processor (110) may display the number of challenge participants, the type of exercise, and the target period together with the UI element indicating the distribution of the target value.

[0096] FIG. 6b is a diagram illustrating a case in which a user device (200) displays a UI element indicating a corrected target value and a distribution of the target value, according to one embodiment.

[0097] According to one embodiment, the processor (110) may display a UI element (645) representing a corrected target value (640) and a distribution of the target value. A detailed description of the UI element representing the distribution of the target value is omitted as it has been described above.

[0098] The processor (110) can determine whether to proceed with the challenge using the corrected target value or to modify the corrected target value based on the user's input. The user can touch the UI (650) displayed at the bottom of the display (220) to determine whether to proceed with the challenge using the corrected target value or to modify the corrected target value.

[0099] FIG. 6c is a diagram illustrating a case in which a user device (200) displays a UI element indicating a distribution of target values ​​and user exercise information according to one embodiment.

[0100] The user's exercise information (675) may include information corresponding to the type of information related to the exercise type. The user device (200) may display information corresponding to the type of information related to the user's exercise type in a bar format (680). The user device (200) may display the location of information corresponding to the user's type based on the average of each type of multiple users participating in the challenge.

[0101] FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a UI element representing a distribution of characters and target values ​​corresponding to a corrected target value according to one embodiment.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 7, the user device (200) can display, on the display (220), characters (725, 735, 745) corresponding to each target value and UI elements (730, 740, 750) representing the distribution of the corresponding target values, respectively, when the difference between the user's corrected target value and the reference target value is within a preset range (710), or when the user's corrected target value is higher than the reference target value by a preset range or more (715, 720).

[0103] The user device (200) can display a UI element (730) with an indicator positioned on a character (725) of a normal body type and a reference target value on the display (220) when the difference between the user's corrected target value and the reference target value is within a preset range (710).

[0104] When the user's corrected target value is higher than the reference target value by a preset range (715, 720), the user device (200) can display a character (735) with a body shape thicker than the body shape corresponding to the user's reference target value or a character (745) carrying a heavy load while wearing a backpack and a UI element (740, 750) with an indicator positioned to the right of the reference target value on the display (220).

[0105] FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining the body shape of a character corresponding to a corrected target value according to one embodiment.

[0106] According to FIG. 8, when the corrected target value corresponds to the reference target value, the user device (200) can display a character (815) having a normal-sized body shape on the display (220).

[0107] If the corrected target value is higher than the reference target value, the user device (200) can display on the display (220) a character whose body shape is thicker and whose arms are spread wide according to the degree to which the corrected target value is higher than the user's target value. For example, if the group in which the corrected target value is higher than the reference target value is determined to be two groups, the user device (200) can display the body shape of the character corresponding to the first group with the highest corrected target value as a character (825) that is thickest and whose arms are spread wide upwards. The user device (200) can display the body shape of the character corresponding to the second group in which the corrected target value is relatively lower than the first group as a character (820) that is thicker than the character corresponding to the reference target value and that performs a motion in which the arms are spread up and down.

[0108] If the corrected target value is lower than the reference target value, the user device (200) may display a character on the display (220) whose body shape is expressed as being small according to the degree to which the corrected target value is lower than the user's target value and who performs a motion of crouching with her arms. For example, if a group in which the corrected target value is lower than the reference target value is determined to be two groups, the user device (200) may display the body shape of the character corresponding to the first group with the lowest corrected target value as a character (805) that is thinnest and has both arms hanging down. The user device (200) may display the body shape of the character corresponding to the second group in which the corrected target value is relatively higher than the first group as a character (810) that is thinner than the character corresponding to the reference target value and who performs a motion of raising her arms above the hips.

[0109] FIG. 9 is a drawing for explaining an item of a character corresponding to a corrected target value according to one embodiment.

[0110] According to FIG. 9, if the corrected target value is higher than the reference target value (910), the user device (200) can display on the display (220) a character wearing an item indicating that the target value is higher than the reference target value. For example, if the target value is higher than the reference target value (910), the user device (200) can display on the display (220) a character wearing a sandbag or a character carrying a heavy backpack.

[0111] If the corrected target value is lower than the reference target value (920), the user device (200) may display on the display (220) a character wearing an item indicating that the target value is lower than the reference target value. For example, if the target value is lower than the reference target value (920), the user device (200) may display on the display (220) a character with wings or a character riding inline skates.

[0112] Meanwhile, the character's body type and items corresponding to the corrected target value are not limited to the examples described above, and the user device (200) may display characters with various body types or wearing items depending on the type of exercise or target value. For example, if the exercise type is skiing and the corrected target value is lower than the reference target value, the user device (200) may display a character riding a jet ski. The character's body type and items corresponding to the corrected target value may be updated continuously or periodically and stored in the memory (215).

[0113] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an operation of modifying a corrected target value based on a user's input according to one embodiment.

[0114] If the user determines that the corrected target value is excessive or insufficient, the user can touch the target correction in FIG. 6B to enter a UI screen for correcting the corrected target value. The user device (200) can display a UI (1010) for correcting the corrected target value on the display (220). The user can correct the corrected target value by scrolling the UI (1010) for correcting the corrected target value.

[0115] The user device (200) may limit the range within which the user can modify the adjusted target value. For example, if the user's adjusted target value is 30 km, the user device (200) may limit the user's ability to modify the target value to between 10 km and 50 km. The user device (200) may display a feedback message (1020) according to the user's modification on the display (220). For example, if the user modifies the adjusted target value to lower it, the user device (200) may display a message on the display (220) that says, "The target value is determined to be low compared to your average exercise performance. Please raise the target value for an effective challenge." If the user device (200) determines that the modified target value is excessive, the user device (200) may display a message on the display (220) that says, "Lower the target value."

[0116] FIG. 11 is a drawing for explaining a UI screen that displays the progress of multiple users according to one embodiment.

[0117] According to one embodiment, the user device (200) may display a UI (1110) indicating the exercise progress of multiple users on the display (220). The user device (200) may receive multiple corrected target values ​​for multiple users and information on the exercise progress of the multiple users through the communication circuit (210). The exercise progress may refer to the user's exercise progress for the exercise type of the challenge. For example, if the exercise type of the challenge is walking, the user's exercise progress may be 22 km.

[0118] According to one embodiment, the user device (200) can identify the exercise progress based on the corrected target value and the exercise progress status. For example, the user device (200) can identify the exercise progress as the value obtained by dividing the exercise progress obtained from the exercise progress status by the corrected target value. For example, if the user's corrected target value is 40 km and the exercise progress status is 22 km, the user device (200) can identify the exercise progress as 55%. The user device (200) can display a UI (1120) indicating the exercise progress of a corresponding user among a plurality of users on the display (220) together with a character corresponding to the user's target value.

[0119] According to one embodiment, the user device (200) may display a UI corresponding to the exercise progress status and exercise progress level of multiple users on the display (220) together with a character (1130) corresponding to each of the multiple users. The character (1130) corresponding to each of the multiple users may refer to a character determined according to the target value of each of the multiple users.

[0120] FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a module constituting a system for correcting a user's motor ability according to one embodiment.

[0121] According to FIG. 12, the user device (200) may include a user interface (1205), an exercise information extraction module (1210) corresponding to an information type for each item, a database (1215) storing exercise information, and a visualization module (1220).

[0122] The user device (200) can receive input from the user via the user interface (1205) regarding the challenge the user wishes to participate in. For example, a challenge may include a program that requires the user to first achieve a certain record in a specific sport or to compete based on accumulated records. For example, the user can select running as the sport via the user interface (1205) and input a target value such as "first to reach a cumulative 100 km in running" or "cumulative running distance recorded by the individual over the past month." The user device (200) can also modify the adjusted target value via the user interface (1205).

[0123] The user device (200) can extract information necessary for challenge progress and correction value calculation from a database (1215) storing exercise information through an exercise information extraction module (1210) corresponding to the information type for each sport. The user device (200) can transmit the extracted information to a server device (100).

[0124] The database (1215) storing exercise information may store information related to the average daily step count, activity time, activity calories, activity level, and exercise type. For example, if the exercise type is skiing, the information related to the exercise type may include information related to skiing, such as exercise time, average speed, average heart rate, exercise calories, maximum altitude, and minimum altitude.

[0125] The server device (100) may include a user management module (1230), a module for determining the type of information related to exercise type (1235), and a user exercise ability correction module (1240).

[0126] The server device (100) can receive challenge participation signals from multiple user devices through the user management module (1230) and obtain information on multiple users who have participated in the challenge. The server device (100) can identify, through the user management module (1230), whether the user device that has transmitted the challenge participation signal is a user authorized for the challenge or a user who has received an invitation request. The server device (100) can identify users who meet preset conditions through the user management module (1230) or allow all users who wish to participate to participate in the challenge. The preset conditions can be set based on various criteria, such as the user's athletic ability, age, and gender.

[0127] The server device (100) can determine the information to be requested from the user device based on the exercise type and target value of the challenge through the type determination module (1235) of information related to the exercise type.

[0128] The server device (100) can obtain a correction value based on information received from multiple user devices through the user exercise ability correction module (1240). A detailed description of the method for obtaining a correction value based on information received from multiple user devices is omitted as described above.

[0129] Fig. 13 is a flowchart for explaining a method for controlling a server device according to one embodiment.

[0130] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0131] According to one embodiment, operations 1305 to 1330 may be understood to be performed in a processor (e.g., processor (110) of FIG. 3) of a server device (e.g., server device (100) of FIGS. 2 and 3).

[0132] According to one embodiment, in operation 1305, when the server device according to one embodiment receives the type of information related to the exercise type in which the user participates in the challenge and the user's target value from the user device, the server device according to one embodiment may identify the type of information related to the exercise type. In operation 1310, the server device according to one embodiment may transmit a request for information corresponding to the identified type to the user device. In operation 1315, when the server device according to one embodiment receives information corresponding to the identified type from the user device, the server device may identify the user's exercise ability for the exercise type based on the received information. In operation 1320, the server device according to one embodiment may obtain a correction value for correcting the user's target value based on the exercise ability of each of the plurality of users who participated in the challenge. In operation 1325, the server device according to one embodiment may transmit information regarding the correction value to the user device, so that the user device may correct the target value based on the correction value. In operation 1330, a server device according to an embodiment may display a UI (user interface) screen including a corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value.

[0133] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a server device may be provided.

[0134] The server device may include at least one processor including memory and processing circuitry for storing communication circuit instructions.

[0135] The above instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, cause the server device to:

[0136] When the type of information related to the exercise type is identified and a request for information corresponding to the identified type is transmitted to the user device through the communication circuit, and when information corresponding to the identified type is received from the user device, the user's exercise ability for the exercise type is identified based on the received information, and a correction value for correcting the user's target value based on the exercise ability of each of a plurality of users who participated in the challenge is obtained, and information on the correction value is transmitted to the user device through the communication circuit, so that the user device corrects the target value based on the correction value and displays a UI (user interface) screen including the corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value.

[0137] The above UI screen may include the character having a body shape thicker than the body shape corresponding to the user's target value if the corrected target value is higher than the user's target value, and may include the character having a body shape thinner than the body shape corresponding to the user's target value if the corrected target value is lower than the user's target value.

[0138] The above UI screen may include the character wearing a first item indicating that the target value has increased when the corrected target value is higher than the user's target value, and may include the character wearing a second item indicating that the target value has decreased when the corrected target value is lower than the user's target value.

[0139] The first item may include a backpack or a sandbag, and the second item may include wings or inline skates.

[0140] The above instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the server device to transmit a plurality of corrected target values ​​for the plurality of users to the user device through the communication circuit, so that the user device displays a UI element indicating a distribution of the plurality of corrected target values ​​and an indicator indicating a position of the user's corrected target value on the UI element.

[0141] The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the server device to transmit a plurality of corrected target values ​​for the plurality of users and information about the exercise progress of the plurality of users to the user device through the communication circuit, so that the user device identifies the exercise progress of the plurality of users based on the plurality of corrected target values ​​and the exercise progress, and displays a UI element indicating the identified exercise progress corresponding to the plurality of users.

[0142] The above instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the server device to quantify the motor abilities of each of the plurality of users based on information corresponding to the identified type, to divide the plurality of users into a plurality of groups based on the quantified motor abilities of the plurality of users, and to obtain a correction value corresponding to each of the plurality of groups.

[0143] The above instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the server device to receive a modified target value from a user device of the user through the communication circuit based on an input of the user, and to transmit the modified target value to user devices of the plurality of users through the communication circuit, so that the user devices of the plurality of users display a UI (user interface) screen including the modified target value and a character corresponding to the modified target value.

[0144] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling a server device may be provided.

[0145] According to one embodiment, the control method may include an operation of identifying a type of information related to an exercise type in which a user participates in a challenge and a target value of the user are received from the user device.

[0146] The above control method may include an operation of receiving information corresponding to the identified type from the user device in response to transmitting a request for information corresponding to the identified type to the user device.

[0147] The above control method may include an operation of identifying the user's exercise ability for the exercise type based on the received information.

[0148] The above control method may include an operation of obtaining a correction value for correcting a target value of a plurality of users participating in the challenge based on the exercise ability of each of the users.

[0149] The above control method may include an operation of transmitting information about the correction value to the user device, causing the user device to correct the target value based on the correction value, and display a UI (user interface) screen including the corrected target value and a character corresponding to the corrected target value.

[0150] The above UI screen may include the character having a body shape thicker than the body shape corresponding to the user's target value if the corrected target value is higher than the user's target value, and may include the character having a body shape thinner than the body shape corresponding to the user's target value if the corrected target value is lower than the user's target value.

[0151] The above UI screen may include the character wearing a first item indicating that the target value has increased when the corrected target value is higher than the user's target value, and may include the character wearing a second item indicating that the target value has decreased when the corrected target value is lower than the user's target value.
