Abstract

Disclosed are a real time automatic control system and more particularly, there are provided a system providing sports suitable for a user by automatically controlling sporting goods by considering health history information and state information of a user in real time while the user is playing sports using the sporting goods, and a control method using the same. For this, there is provided a real time automatic control system of sporting goods that includes: a sensor device outputting condition information including a rating of perceived exertion of a user in real time; a server device storing profile information including health history information and sporting history information of the user; and an exercise intensity setting device setting an optimal exercise intensity by using the condition information and the profile information, and controlling the sporting goods in real time in accordance with the optimal exercise intensity.

Claims

1. A real time automatic control system of sporting goods, comprising:

a sensor device outputting condition information including a rating of perceived exertion of a user in real time;

a server device storing profile information including health history information and sporting history information of the user; and

an exercise intensity setting device setting an optimal exercise intensity by using the condition information and the profile information and controlling the sporting goods in real time in accordance with the optimal exercise intensity.

2. The real time automatic control system of sporting goods according to claim 1, wherein the sporting goods is an aerobic sporting goods.

3. The real time automatic control system of sporting goods according to claim 1, wherein the condition information further includes at least one of a heart rate stabilization time of the user, a heart rate recovery time of the user, information on an environment of the user.

4. The real time automatic control system of sporting goods according to claim 1, wherein the exercise intensity setting device includes:

an estimator estimating a current exercise intensity of the user in accordance with the condition information;
