Description

The present invention relates to an exercise support device or the like that supports exercise.

Running requires "motivation" to continue or start running. Because running is an exercise and involves a load. And in general, they have the impression that they are painful, boring, and weak, and it is difficult to motivate and continue. There are many systems that actually support running. Running support applications such as NIKE + Running and Running Keeper are famous. Zombies Run! (Non-Patent Document 1) and CHARITY MILES (Non-Patent Document 2) are famous for gamification for running.

NIKE + Running uses a smartwatch. You can manage information such as pace, distance, height difference, heart rate, and distance in detail, and recommend a plan that matches your exercise level and goals. We are also proposing a system that uses hashtags to share goals and results and keep users motivated. The highlight is that you can manage physical information thoroughly, but it is for users who have high goals for running as a sport. It is difficult to motivate users who are not good at running for diet and health.

Runnig keeper manages data such as distance run, pace, calories, and time. In addition, it is possible to form a group of users who have the same goal as themselves and aim to achieve the goal while chatting. However, route recommendation and exercise load recommendation to the user are not taken into consideration.

Zombies Run! Has various missions, and it is a running system that accomplishes the tasks while escaping the missions from zombies. You can enjoy the realism of escaping from zombies with the sound. It is also designed to motivate running, such as getting items in a mission and expanding the map as the user runs.

CHARITY MILES is a running support system that is donated to charity organizations that the user supports according to the distance traveled by the user. Also, donations are paid by sponsors, not users. The highlight of this app is that it proposes a method to link the motivation to run for one's diet and health maintenance with philanthropy.

The group determination unit 133 acquires, for example, at least a part of the user identifiers of the two or more user identifiers corresponding to the attribute values satisfying the predetermined conditions.

Here, the predetermined condition may be a relative condition or an absolute condition. The relative condition is, for example, that the attribute values paired with each of the two or more user identifiers have a predetermined relationship. The relative condition is, for example, to be at the same or similar points. The same or similar points are, for example, points where the distance is within or less than the threshold value, or points where the attribute values of the points are the same or similar. The attribute value of the point is, for example, the type of the point (river edge, urban area, mountainous area, seaside, ground, etc.), the country or local public body to which the point belongs, and the like. Since the technique for acquiring the type of point, the national or local public body, etc. from the location information using the map information is a known technique, detailed description thereof will be omitted. The relative condition is that, for example, one or more pieces of information such as mileage, calories burned, and score, which are attribute values, are approximated so as to satisfy a predetermined condition (for example, the difference is within a threshold value). .. The absolute condition is a condition determined by using only the attribute value of one user. Absolute conditions are, for example, that you are exercising, that the score is above the threshold, the score is below the threshold, and that the user-set goal (an example of an attribute value) is so similar that it meets predetermined conditions. Is.

Further, the user identifier of at least a part of the two or more user identifiers may be only the user identifier of the user who has announced the participation, or all the user identifiers corresponding to the attribute values satisfying the predetermined conditions. good.

It is preferable that the predetermined conditions satisfy the predetermined conditions for the location information paired with each of the two or more user identifiers. For example, competing among users who are exercising in the same place leads to motivation for exercising.

The storage unit 132 acquires place information from, for example, information received together with exercise history information (for example, position information), and stores the place information in the user information storage unit 111. Further, the storage unit 132 stores the user information storage unit 111 in association with the user identifier, for example, in response to the reception of the user movement information. The attribute value is an attribute value stored in the user information storage unit 111.

(Step S405) The group determination unit 133 determines whether or not there is a group corresponding to the user identifier acquired in step S402. If the group corresponding to the user identifier acquired in step S402 exists, the process goes to step S407, and if it does not exist, the process goes to step S406.

(Step S406) The group determination unit 133 creates a group of users identified by the user identifier acquired in step S402. The group creation process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S502) The group determination unit 133 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

(Step S503) The group determination unit 133 determines whether or not the i-th other user exists. If the i-th other user exists, the process goes to step S504, and if the i-th other user does not exist, the process goes to step S508. Whether or not the i-th other user exists is determined by whether or not the i-th user identifier other than the user identifier acquired in step S402 exists in the user information storage unit 111.

(Step S504) The group determination unit 133 acquires one or more attribute values corresponding to the user identifiers of the i-th other users from the user information storage unit 111.

It is determined whether or not the attribute value of is satisfied with a predetermined condition. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the process goes to step S506, and if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the process goes to step S507. The predetermined condition is, for example, whether or not one or more attribute values of the i-th other user have a flag indicating that the user is exercising. Further, the predetermined conditions are so close that, for example, one or more attribute values of the i-th other user and one or more attribute values paired with the user identifier acquired in step S402 satisfy the predetermined conditions. That is what you are doing. It should be noted that the approximation of the set of two attribute values so as to satisfy a predetermined condition is, for example, that the types of location information are the same (for example, river edge, mountainous area, urban area, etc.).

(Step S506) The group determination unit 133 acquires the user identifier of the i-th other user and temporarily stores it in a buffer (not shown).

(Step S507) The group determination unit 133 increments the counter i by 1. Return to step S503.

(Step S508) The group determination unit 133 acquires a unique group identifier. The group determination unit 133 does not care about an algorithm for acquiring a unique group identifier.

(Step S509) The group determination unit 133 associates the group identifier with two or more user identifiers and temporarily stores the group identifier in a buffer (not shown). Return to higher-level processing.

In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the group corresponding to all the user identifiers of other users other than the user identifiers acquired in step S402, which are the user identifiers of other users stored in the buffer (not shown) in step S506, has already been formed. If it exists, the user identifier acquired in step S402 may be accumulated in association with the group. In such a case, a new group is not created, and the user identified by the user identifier acquired in step S402 joins the existing group.

Next, the other user information acquisition process in step S407 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S602) The other user information acquisition unit 134 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

(Step S603) The other user information acquisition unit 134 determines whether or not the i-th other user in the group exists. If the i-th other user exists, the process goes to step S604, and if the i-th other user does not exist, the process goes to step S606. Whether or not the i-th other user exists is shown by, for example, the i-th other user identifier paired with the group identifier paired with the user identifier possessed by the user motion information received in step S401. It is judged by whether or not it exists in the buffer that does not exist.

(Step S604) The other user information acquisition unit 134 acquires the exercise history information paired with the user identifier of the i-th other user from the exercise history information storage unit 112.

(Step S605) The other user information acquisition unit 134 increments the counter i by 1. Return to step S603.

(Step S705) The terminal receiving unit 25 determines whether or not other user information has been received from the exercise support device 1. If the other user information is received, the process goes to step S706, and if the other user information is not received, the process returns to step S702.

(Step S706) The terminal processing unit 23 configures the information to be output by using the other user information received in step S705. Then, the terminal output unit 26 outputs the information. The information to be output is information based on the received other user information.

The user registration instruction usually includes one or more static attribute values.

(Step S710) The terminal processing unit 23 configures a user registration instruction to be transmitted.

(Step S711) The terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the user registration instruction configured in step S710 to the exercise support device 1. Return to step S701.

Hereinafter, the specific operation of the information system A in the present embodiment will be described. The conceptual diagram of the information system A is FIG.

Now, the user information management table shown in FIG. 8 is stored in the user information storage unit 111 of the exercise support device 1. The user information management table is a table for managing user information. The record of the user information management table has an "ID", a "user identifier", and an "attribute value". The "attribute value" has a "static attribute value" and a "dynamic attribute value". The "static attribute value" has a "name", "gender", "age", and "target heart rate" here.

The "target heart rate" is managed in the user information management table so that each user can set an appropriate load. Further, the target heart rate is a value calculated by, for example, the following formula 1 using the target coefficient input by the user. The target coefficient is information input by the user when the user information is registered.

Further, the "dynamic attribute value" has "movement flag", "position information", and "location information" here. The "exercise flag" can be either during exercise (here "1") or not (here "0"). "Location information" is here (latitude, mild). "Place information" is a type of point corresponding to location information (for example, "urban area", "mountainous area", "river edge", etc.). The processing unit 13 acquires the location information from the position information by using the map information of the storage unit 11.

Further, the exercise history information storage unit 112 stores the exercise history information management table shown in FIG. The exercise history information management table is a table for managing exercise history information for each user. The record of the exercise history information management table has "ID", "user identifier", "cumulative mileage", "continuous mileage", "cumulative calorie consumption", "continuous exercise calorie consumption", "cumulative score", and "continuous exercise score". The "cumulative mileage" is the cumulative mileage. The "continuous mileage" is the continuous mileage during the current mileage. The "cumulative calorie consumption" is the cumulative calorie consumption. "Continuous exercise calorie consumption" is the calorie consumption during the current running. The "cumulative score" is the cumulative score for exercise so far. The "continuous exercise score" is a score in the current running. Here, it is assumed that the exercise is running.

Further, the storage unit 11 stores the group management table shown in FIG. The group management table is a table that manages groups competing during running. The record of the group management table has a "group identifier" and a "user identifier". The "user identifier" is a user identifier of each of two or more users belonging to the group identified by the corresponding group identifier.

In such a situation, it is assumed that the user "Aoki B child" inputs an activation instruction to the smart watch before starting running. Then, it is assumed that Aoki Bko has started running. Here, the terminal device 2 is a smart watch.

Next, the terminal reception unit 22 of the terminal device 2 of Aoki B child receives the activation instruction. Then, the terminal processing unit 23 acquires the motion information. It is assumed that the exercise information acquired here is position information and heart rate. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 configures the user exercise information to be transmitted by using the acquired exercise information and the user identifier “usr02” of the terminal storage unit 21. Next, the terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the configured user exercise information to the exercise support device 1. The terminal device 2 repeatedly performs the transmission process of the user movement information.

Next, the user exercise information receiving unit 121 of the exercise support device 1 receives user exercise information one after another from the terminal device 2 of Aoki B child.

Then, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 acquires the user identifier and the exercise information (position information and heart rate) from the received user exercise information.

Next, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 calculates the mileage (continuous mileage) in the current running from the transition of two or more position information possessed by the acquired exercise information. Then, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 adds the continuous mileage to the stored cumulative mileage and calculates the updated cumulative mileage. Then, the storage unit 132 stores the continuous mileage and the updated cumulative mileage in the exercise history information management table of FIG. 9 in association with the user identifier “usr02”.

Further, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 acquires the gradient information (altitude) of each of the two or more received position information by using the map information of the storage unit 11. Then, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 calculates the calorie consumption by using the continuous mileage and the transition of the gradient information (altitude). The exercise history information acquisition unit 131 calculates the calorie consumption so that the longer the continuous mileage, the larger the gradient information, and the larger the difference in the gradient information, the more calories are consumed. Further, this calorie consumption is a continuous exercise calorie consumption. Then, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 adds the continuous exercise calories burned to the stored cumulative calories burned and calculates the updated cumulative calories burned. Then, the storage unit 132 stores the continuous exercise calories burned and the updated cumulative calories burned in the exercise history information management table of FIG. 9 in association with the user identifier “usr02”.

Further, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 calculates the difference between each received heart rate of 1 or more and the user identifier “usr02” and the paired target heart rate “120”. Then, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 calculates the score using the continuous mileage, the transition of the gradient information (altitude), and the information of the difference of 1 or more. This score is a continuous exercise score. The exercise history information acquisition unit 131 calculates the continuous exercise score so that the longer the continuous mileage, the larger the transition of the gradient information (altitude), and the smaller the difference of 1 or more, the higher the score. Then, the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 adds the continuous exercise score to the stored cumulative score and calculates the updated cumulative score. Then, the storage unit 132 stores the continuous exercise score and the updated cumulative score in the exercise history information management table of FIG. 9 in association with the user identifier “usr02”.

It is assumed that the above process for updating the exercise history information by the exercise history information acquisition unit 131 is repeated.

Next, the group determination unit 133 refers to the group management table of FIG. 10 and determines that the group corresponding to the user identifier “usr02” does not exist.

Next, it is assumed that the group determination unit 133 constitutes a group of Aoki B child together with other users who satisfy the predetermined conditions. The predetermined condition is stored in the storage unit 11, and here, it is assumed that "exercise flag = 1"&"the first digit of the age is the same"&"the place information is the same". That is, the group determination unit 133 acquires the attribute value “age = 31” that is paired with the user identifier “usr02”. Further, the group determination unit 133 acquires the received position information ₍ x2, _y2 ). Then, it is assumed that the group determination unit 133 refers to the map information of the storage unit ₁₁ using the position information ₍ x2, y2) as a key, and acquires the location information “urban area”. Then, the group determination unit 133 acquires the user identifier of the user who matches "exercise flag = 1", "30 <= age <= 39", and "location information = urban area" from the user information management table of FIG. .. Here, it is assumed that the group determination unit 133 has acquired the user identifiers "usr03" and "usr04".

Next, the group determination unit 133 detects from the group management table of FIG. 10 that the group "G04" of the user identifiers "usr03" and "usr04" exists, and sets the user identifier as a pair with the group identifier "G04". Accumulate "usr02". As a result, the group management table of FIG. 10 was changed as shown in FIG. From the above, the group creation process in which members join the group from the middle can be performed. Needless to say, if there is no group composed of only all user identifiers (here, "usr03" and "usr04") other than the user identifier "usr02", a new group is formed. The new group configuration is, here, the generation of a group identifier uniquely generated, and the generation and accumulation of a record having the generated group identifier and the user identifier of each of two or more users included in the group.

Next, the other user information acquisition unit 134 acquires other user information as follows. First, the other user information acquisition unit 134 acquires the continuous exercise score of the user identifiers "usr02", "usr03", and "usr04" in this running. Here, it is assumed that the other user information acquisition unit 134 has acquired the continuous movement score "1" of usr02, the continuous movement score "12" of usr03, and the continuous movement score "4" of usr04. Then, the other user information acquisition unit 134 acquires the ranking information "1st place: usr03, 2nd place: usr04, 3rd place: usr02" from the continuous movement scores of the three users. Here, the ranking is the ranking in the current running, and is determined from the continuous exercise score.

Further, the other user information acquisition unit 134 acquires the cumulative mileage, the cumulative calorie consumption, and the cumulative score paired with the user identifiers "usr02", "usr03", and "usr04".

Next, the other user information acquisition unit 134 configures the ranking information "1st place: usr03, 2nd place: usr04, 3rd place: usr02" and other user information having the cumulative mileage, cumulative calorie consumption, and cumulative score of each user. do. It is assumed that the cumulative mileage, the cumulative calorie consumption, and the cumulative score are associated with each user identifier.

The process of acquiring other user information by the other user information acquisition unit 134 is repeated.

Next, the other user information transmission unit 141 transmits the configured other user information to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the user identifiers "usr02", "usr03", and "usr04".

The process of transmitting the other user information to the terminal device 2 by the other user information transmission unit 141 may be performed every time the other user information acquisition unit 134 acquires the other user information. Further, the other user information acquisition unit 134 compares the other user information acquired last time with the recently acquired other user information, determines whether or not there is a change in both, and if there is a change, the other user information. The transmission unit 141 may transmit the recently acquired other user information to the terminal device 2.

Next, for example, the terminal device 2 of Aoki B child receives other user information from the exercise support device 1. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 configures the information to be output by using the received other user information. Then, the terminal output unit 26 outputs the information. Here, for example, it is assumed that the current rank "third place" is displayed on the terminal device 2 of Aoki B child. Further, for example, the order of cumulative mileage, cumulative calorie consumption, and cumulative score may be displayed on the terminal device 2 of Aoki B child. In addition, the output mode of other user information does not matter.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the motivation for performing the exercise is improved by obtaining the information on the exercise regarding other users during the exercise.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the motivation for performing the exercise is improved by obtaining the information on the victory or defeat or the ranking with respect to other users during the exercise.

Needless to say, in the present embodiment, other user information may be output by the terminal device 2 even if the user is not exercising.
