Abstract

A method of managing information related to an exercise amount and a display apparatus using the same, and a server connected with the display apparatus are provided. The method measures exercise amount information of at least one user using a plurality of exercise content, transmits the measured exercise amount information to a server, receives exercise amount information integrally calculated from the server, and displays the received exercise amount information on the display apparatus. Therefore, it is possible for the user to intuitively monitor change in his/her health state and maintain his/her health using the plurality of content.

Claims

1. A method of managing information related to an exercise amount in a display apparatus, the method comprising:

measuring exercise amount information of at least one user using a plurality of exercise content and transmitting the measured exercise amount information to a server; and

receiving exercise amount information which has been calculated, from the server, and displaying the received exercise amount information on the display apparatus.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the exercise amount information includes at least one from among exercise content information used by the user, exercise time information of the user, and information related to burned calories calculated using at least one from among a camera and an arm band.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the camera comprises a depth camera.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising acquiring body information of the user and exercise goal information of the user and transmitting the acquired information to the server.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the body information of the user includes at least one from among a height and a weight of the user, wherein the height of the user is acquired using a camera and the weight of the user is acquired by a scale, and

wherein the exercise goal information of the user includes at least one from among a goal weight of the user, an amount of calories to be burned, an exercise duration, and exercise content to be used by the user.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the camera comprises a depth camera and the scale comprises a digital scale.

7. The method as claimed in claim 4, further comprising receiving the body information of the user and the exercise goal information of the user from the server,

wherein the displaying includes:

generating a health care user interface (UI) using at least one from among the body information of the user, the exercise goal information of the user, and the exercise amount information of the user; and

displaying the generated health care UI.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the health care UI displays the exercise amount information measured using the plurality of content, using a graph related to at least one from among dates and content.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the health care UI displays changed body information of the user and information related to whether the user achieves an exercise goal.

10. The method as claimed in claim 4, further comprising displaying an exercise goal input user interface (UI) configured to input the exercise goal information of the user,

wherein the exercise goal input UI includes a mission list configured to provide an amount of calories to be burned when a specific mission is performed.

11. The method as claimed in claim 4, further comprising analyzing the body information of the user and the exercise amount information of the user and providing recommended exercise content for the user.

12. A display apparatus, comprising:

an exercise amount measuring unit configured to measure exercise amount information of at least one user using a plurality of exercise content;

a communication unit configured to transmit the measured exercise amount information to a server; and

a display unit configured to receive exercise amount information which has been calculated from the server, and display the received exercise amount information.

13. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein the exercise amount information includes at least one from among exercise content information used by the user, exercise time information of the user, and information related to burned calories calculated using at least one from among a camera and an arm band.

14. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 13, wherein the camera comprises a depth camera.

15. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 13, further comprising an information acquiring unit configured to acquire body information of the user and exercise goal information of the user,

wherein the communication unit transmits the acquired body information of the user and the acquired exercise goal information of the user to the server.

16. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the body information of the user includes at least one from among a height and a weight of the user,

wherein the height of the user is acquired using a camera and the weight of the user is acquired by a scale, and

wherein the exercise goal information of the user includes at least one from among a goal weight of the user, an amount of calories to be burned, an exercise duration, and exercise content to be used by the user.

17. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the camera comprises a depth camera and the scale comprises a digital scale.

18. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15, further comprising a user interface (UI) generating unit configured to generate a health care UI using the body information of the user, the exercise goal information of the user, and the exercise amount information of the user received through the communication unit,

wherein the display unit displays the generated health care UI.

19. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 18, wherein the health care UI displays the exercise amount information measured using the plurality of content, using a graph related to at least one from among dates and content.

20. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 18, wherein the health care UI displays changed body information of the user and information related to whether the user achieves an exercise goal.

21. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15, further comprising a UI generating unit configured to generate an exercise goal input UI configured to input the exercise goal information of the user,

wherein the exercise goal input UI includes a mission list configured to provide an amount of calories to be burned when a specific mission is performed

22. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 15, further comprising a control unit configured to analyze the body information of the user and the exercise amount information of the user, and provide recommended exercise content for the user.

23. A method of managing information related to an exercise amount, of a server which is connected with at least one display apparatus, to manage information related to the exercise amount of a user, the method comprising:

receiving exercise amount information from the at least one display apparatus and storing the received exercise amount information;

calculating the exercise amount information received from the at least one display apparatus to generate integrated exercise amount information; and

transmitting the generated integrated exercise amount information to the at least one display apparatus which transmits the request signal if a request signal is received from the at least one display apparatus.

24. The method as claimed in claim 23, further comprising;

receiving body information of the user and exercise goal information of the user from the at least one display apparatus; and

providing recommended exercise content using the received body information, the exercise goal information, and the exercise amount information of the user.

25. A server, which is connected with at least one display apparatus to manage information related to an exercise amount of a user, the server comprising:

a communication unit configured to receive exercise amount information of a user from the at least one display apparatus;

a storage unit configured to store the exercise amount information of the user received through the communication unit; and

a control unit configured to calculate the received exercise amount information and generate integrated exercise amount information to be transmitted to the at least one display apparatus.

26. The server as claimed in claim 25, wherein the communication unit receives body information of the user and exercise goal information of the user from the at least one display apparatus and the control unit provides recommended exercise content using at least one from among the received body information, the exercise goal information, and the exercise amount information of the user.
