Abstract

A diagnosis server includes a storing section configured to store exercise data of respective users and diagnosis criteria of respective customers and a processing section configured to perform diagnosis on the basis of exercise data of a user designated from a terminal of a customer among the exercise data of the respective users and diagnosis criteria of the customer among the diagnosis criteria of the respective customers and provide the terminal of the customer with a diagnosis result.

Claims

1. A diagnosis server comprising:

a memory storing exercise data of a plurality of users and diagnosis criteria of a plurality of customers; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor being programmed to;

determine a first diagnosis based on;

(A) exercise data of a user designated from a terminal of a customer among the exercise data of the plurality of users, and (B) diagnosis criteria designated from the terminal of the customer among the diagnosis criteria of the plurality of customers,

provide the terminal of the customer with the determined first diagnosis,

receive fitting data indicating effectiveness of the first diagnosis from the terminal of the customer,

correct the diagnosis criteria of the customer according to the received fitting data by shifting a boundary position between a first region corresponding to purchased equipment and a second region corresponding to recommended equipment,

compare;

(A) first exercise data of the user before the diagnosis criteria of the customer is corrected, and (B) second exercise data of the user after the diagnosis criteria of the customer is corrected,

evaluate an accuracy of the fitting data as being high in response to the second exercise data of the user being improved over the first exercise data,

determine a second diagnosis based on the exercise data and the corrected diagnosis criteria of the customer, and

provide the terminal of the customer with the determined second diagnosis.

2. The diagnosis server according to claim 1, wherein

the first diagnosis result includes a type of a tool recommended to the user, and

the fitting data includes a type of a tool actually purchased by the user.

3. The diagnosis server according to claim 1, wherein

the first diagnosis result includes a type of practice recommended to the user, and

the fitting data includes a type of practice actually used by the user.

4. The diagnosis server according to claim 1, wherein the diagnosis criteria of the customer is a table for generating the diagnosis result according to at least one indicator included in the exercise data.

5. The diagnosis server according to claim 1, wherein the exercise data is data generated using an output of an inertial sensor.

6. A diagnosis system comprising:

an inertial sensor configured to generate exercise data; and

a server including;

a memory storing the exercise data of a plurality of users and diagnosis criteria of a plurality of customers; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor being programmed to;

determine a first diagnosis based on;

(A) exercise data of a user designated from a terminal of a customer among the exercise data of the plurality of users, and (B) diagnosis criteria designated from the terminal of the customer among the diagnosis criteria of the plurality of customers, and

provide the terminal of the customer with the determined first diagnosis result,

receive fitting data indicating effectiveness of the first diagnosis from the terminal of the customer,

correct the diagnosis criteria of the customer according to the received fitting data by shifting a boundary position between a first region corresponding to purchased equipment and a second region corresponding to recommended equipment,

compare;

(A) first exercise data of the user before the diagnosis criteria of the customer is corrected, and (B) second exercise data of the user after the diagnosis criteria of the customer is corrected,

evaluate an accuracy of the fitting data as being high in response to the second exercise data of the user being improved over the first exercise data,

determine a second diagnosis based on the exercise data and the corrected diagnosis criteria of the customer, and

provide the terminal of the customer with the determined second diagnosis.

7. A diagnosis method comprising:

storing exercise data of a plurality of users and diagnosis criteria of a plurality of customers;

determining a first diagnosis based on;

(A) exercise data of a user designated from a terminal of a customer among the exercise data of the plurality of users, and (B) diagnosis criteria designated from the terminal of the customer among the diagnosis criteria of the plurality of customers;

providing the terminal of the customer with the determined first diagnosis result;

receiving fitting data indicating effectiveness of the first diagnosis from the terminal of the customer;

correcting the diagnosis criteria of the customer according to the received fitting data by shifting a boundary position between a first region corresponding to purchased equipment and a second region corresponding to recommended equipment;

comparing;

(A) first exercise data of the user before the diagnosis criteria of the customer is corrected, and (B) second exercise data of the user after the diagnosis criteria of the customer is corrected;

evaluating an accuracy of the fitting data as being high in response to the second exercise data of the user being improved over the first exercise data;

determining a second diagnosis based on the exercise data and the corrected diagnosis criteria of the customer; and

providing the terminal of the customer with the determined second diagnosis.

8. A terminal that transmits a user ID for specifying a user to a diagnosis server, receives a diagnosis result of the user from the diagnosis server, and transmits update information of the diagnosis result to the diagnosis server according to the method of claim 7.

9. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the update information includes one of a type of practice and a type of a purchased tool.

10. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the terminal transmits, on the basis of a request from a user terminal, the diagnosis result of the user to the user terminal.

11. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the diagnosis result includes a type of a tool recommended to the user.

12. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the diagnosis result includes a type of practice recommended to the user.

13. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the exercise data is data generated based on an output of an inertial sensor.

14. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the terminal receives the user ID from a user terminal.

15. The terminal according to claim 14, wherein the terminal transmits the diagnosis result to the user terminal corresponding to the user ID.

16. The terminal according to claim 15, wherein the terminal receives, from the user terminal, a selection result of the diagnosis result transmitted to the user terminal and transmits the selection result to the diagnosis server as the update information.

17. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions causing a computer to execute steps comprising:

storing exercise data of a plurality of users and diagnosis criteria of a plurality of customers;

determining a first diagnosis based on;

(A) exercise data of a user designated from a terminal of a customer among the exercise data of the plurality of users, and (B) diagnosis criteria designated from the terminal of the customer among the diagnosis criteria of the plurality of customers;

providing the terminal of the customer with the determined first diagnosis result;

receiving fitting data indicating effectiveness of the first diagnosis from the terminal of the customer;

correcting the diagnosis criteria of the customer according to the received fitting data by shifting a boundary position between a first region corresponding to purchased equipment and a second region corresponding to recommended equipment;

comparing;
