The present invention relates to a smart personal training exercise system and a personal training exercise method that can make personal training fun by visually showing the personal training exercise situation using augmented reality (AR).

In general, modern people have weakened physical functions due to lack of exercise due to their busy daily life, and the resulting number of adult diseases is rapidly increasing. To prevent weakening of body functions and to lead a healthy life, exercise is essential. Modern people with busy and complicated city life mainly use sports centers or gyms equipped with various exercise equipment.

However, users give up halfway through the boredom of mechanical repetition, focusing solely on the effect of exercise, such as treadmills, cycles, steppers, or weight training equipment deployed in sports centers or health clubs. It is a major obstacle to achieving exercise goals.

Therefore, it is desirable to solve the boredom caused by such mechanical repetition and induce personal training while having fun. In order to add fun in such a way, a method of conducting individual training in the form of a game was also proposed.

In addition, a more thorough management method has been developed so that individual training can be managed individually by the coach to achieve the results of individual training.

However, in the end, these methods are only managing the exercise equipment and there is a problem in that the method of providing strong motivation to individual trainers so that the exercise effect can be seen more clearly is not presented.

Conversely, when a part of a layer, film, region, plate, etc. is said to be "under" another part, this includes not only cases where it is "directly under" another part, but also cases where another part is in between.

Hereinafter, a smart personal training exercise system and a personal training exercise method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

The smart personal training exercise system according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a training device 10 , a server 20 , and a terminal 30 with reference to FIG. 1 .

The training device 10, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, is provided with an exercise amount measuring sensor 11 to measure the user's exercise amount, and is equipped with a wired or wireless communication function, and is measured by the exercise amount measuring sensor 11 It transmits the measured momentum measurement data.

At this time, each of the training devices 10 has a unique number, and the user logs in through the user information at the installation location and then transmits the obtained exercise amount measurement data. Therefore, even if the exercise is performed through the training device 10 in another location, the result value is transmitted to the server 20 and stored.

At this time, the training device 10 has a wired or wireless communication function, measures the amount of exercise (or amount of physical activity) for each body part of the user, and converts the measured amount of exercise for each body part into bit-unit sensing information that the computer can understand. and transmits the generated sensing information to the server 20 using wired or wireless communication. Here, the wireless communication may be short-range wireless communication, for example, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the Internet, and the like.

In this case, as an example, the momentum measuring sensor 11 may be a wearable device attached to the user's body or may include a wearable device.

In this case, the wearable device includes various sensors such as a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a GPS sensor, and an altitude sensor in order to measure the amount of exercise for each body part of the user, and although not shown otherwise, a heart rate sensor, a body temperature sensor, etc. It may include more.

In this case, the gyro sensor may be used to detect a change in the orientation of the body that occurs while the user performs a physical activity or exercise.

In this case, the acceleration sensor may optionally be a 3-axis accelerometer. Acceleration sensors can be used to detect pattern variations in movement speed, including arm momentum, such as push-ups, abdominal muscle momentum, such as sit-ups, and leg momentum, such as sitting and standing. In addition, the acceleration sensor may be used to detect a change in a pattern for leg momentum exercises such as walking and running.

In this case, the geomagnetic sensor may be used to detect a change in the body moving direction that occurs while the user performs a physical activity or exercise.

In this case, the GPS sensor may be used to distinguish a running section, a walking section, and a bicycle riding section according to a location change of the user in cooperation with the movement speed from the acceleration sensor. In addition, the GPS sensor may be used to distinguish a type of physical activity or exercise according to a user's location. For example, if the user's location determined from the GPS sensor is a soccer field, it is highly likely that the user is performing a soccer-related exercise, so it can be used to detect an amount of leg exercise according to a running exercise, and the GPS When the location of the user determined from the sensor is the location of the swimming pool, it is highly likely that the user is performing an exercise related to swimming, and thus it may be used to detect arm and leg movements.

In this case, the altitude sensor measures the altitude of the place where the user is currently located, and may be used to detect a change in physical activity or movement related to leg movement such as going up or down stairs.

Other heart rate sensors and body temperature sensors may be used to detect the user's heart rate and body temperature.

As such, when the exercise amount measuring sensor 11 includes a wearable device including a plurality of sensors for measuring the user's physical exercise amount or the same, considering the amount of physical activity or exercise amount measured by each sensor individually or cooperatively, It is possible to measure the amount of exercise for each body part of the user.

In this case, as another example, the exercise amount measuring sensor 11 may be a plurality of devices that are attached to the exercise equipment, not the user's body, to measure the amount of exercise for each body part of the user. In this case, the amount of exercise for each body part of the user can be measured more accurately. For example, when the momentum measuring sensor 11 is attached to the treadmill and interlocks with the treadmill, it can be detected that the user is performing leg exercises such as walking and running from information measured by the treadmill.

In this way, when the exercise amount measuring sensor 11 is attached to the exercise equipment specialized for each body part, it is possible to more accurately detect what kind of exercise the user is performing for each body part.

The server 20, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, receives the exercise amount measurement data from the training device 10, augmented reality for expressing the user's appearance in augmented reality according to the input user information processed into data for

In this case, the individual physical condition may be input, and the items may be weight, height, age, gender, and the like.

In this case, in addition to individual physical conditions, individual life patterns may also be input and analyzed. For example, if you input that you can exercise twice a week or that you can exercise on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you may be able to determine and inform the optimal amount of exercise for each day of the week.

At this time, the server 20 not only analyzes the input data, but also stores the data transmitted from the training device 10, analyzes and classifies it. For example, a target amount may be selected by calculating daily, weekly, and monthly calorie consumption, or by recommending an appropriate exercise speed and amount of exercise for each individual. Of course, based on the accumulated data, it is possible to extract the amount of achievement compared to the target. In addition, it can notify the user that a training time has started or has ended.

At this time, as described above, the target muscle state can also be input to the server 20 . For example, the target muscle state may be entered as a so-called prince muscle building within 3 months. Then, the server 20 provides an appropriate program according to an individual's physical condition and living environment. For example, it could be programmed to run at 10 km/h for 10 minutes on a treadmill, 20 minutes on a bike, and 30 reps on a designated training device.

In this case, the server 20 may calculate the provided program achievement rate, and based on this, generate the current muscle state compared to the achievement rate as 3D data for augmented reality, and at the same time compare it with the muscle state when the goal is achieved.

At this time, when the user takes a picture of his or her body at that time and loads it, the server 20 may store changes in the body state as picture data based on this and use it as data for augmented reality based on this.

At this time, the server 20 charges each time the user uses each training device 10 from the time the user first starts input and logs in or receives various services from the server 20 so that it can be charged. .
