Abstract

Disclosed are a system and a method for evaluating exercise. The exercise evaluation system includes a program storage unit storing a plurality of recommendatory exercise programs, a measuring unit measuring exercise intensity of a user, an analyzing unit analyzing a degree of accomplishing the content of a recommendatory exercise program selected by the user from the recommendatory exercise programs by using the measured exercise intensity, and an output unit outputting a result of analysis of the analyzing unit to the user.

Claims

1. An exercise evaluation system comprising:

a program storage unit storing a plurality of recommendatory exercise programs;

a measuring unit measuring exercise intensity of a user;

an analyzing unit analyzing a degree of accomplishing the content of a recommendatory exercise program selected by the user from the recommendatory exercise programs by using the measured exercise intensity; and

an output unit outputting a result of analysis of the analyzing unit to the user.

2. The exercise evaluation system of claim 1, wherein a type of the measured exercise intensity is one of exercise calorie consumption of the user, exercise oxygen consumption of the user, and an exercise heart rate of the user.

3. The exercise evaluation system of claim 1, wherein the content of each of the plurality of recommendatory exercise programs comprises:

a recommendatory exercise intensity value to be accomplished by the user;

a type of the recommendatory exercise intensity value to be accomplished by the user;

a recommendatory exercise time per session in which the user has to continue exercise at the recommendatory exercise intensity value;

a recommendatory number of sessions in one day in which the user has to do exercise for the recommendatory exercise time at the recommendatory exercise intensity value in a day; and

a recommendatory number of days of doing exercise to keep the recommendatory number of sessions in one day for a certain period.

4. The exercise evaluation system of claim 3, wherein the content of each of the plurality of recommendatory exercise programs further comprises at least one of a title of a corresponding recommendatory exercise program and exercise continuation information which designates whether the user has to continue or discontinue doing exercise at the recommendatory exercise intensity value to satisfy the recommendatory exercise time per session.

5. The exercise evaluation system of claim 3, wherein the analyzing unit analyzes the degree of accomplishing the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program by using at least one of a ratio of the measured exercise intensity value to the recommendatory exercise intensity value of the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program, a ratio of time in which the measured exercise intensity value within a range of the recommendatory exercise intensity value is continued to the recommendatory exercise time per session of the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program, and a ratio of the number of days of doing exercise keeping the recommendatory number of sessions to the recommendatory number of days of doing exercise of the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program.

6. The exercise evaluation system of claim 3, wherein the analyzing unit converts a type of the measured exercise intensity into a type of the exercise intensity value of the recommendatory exercise program selected by the user when the type of the measured exercise intensity differs from the type of the exercise intensity value of the content of the recommendatory exercise program selected by the user.

7. An exercise evaluation method comprising:

selecting, by a user, a recommendatory exercise program from a plurality of recommendatory exercise programs;

measuring exercise intensity of the user;

analyzing a degree of accomplishing the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program by using the measured exercise intensity; and

outputting a result of the analyzing to the user.

8. The exercise evaluation method of claim 7, wherein a type of the measured exercise intensity is one of exercise calorie consumption of the user, exercise oxygen consumption of the user, and an exercise heart rate of the user.

9. The exercise evaluation method of claim 7, wherein the content of each of the plurality of recommendatory exercise programs comprises:

a recommendatory exercise intensity value to be accomplished by the user;

a type of the recommendatory exercise intensity value to be accomplished by the user;

a recommendatory exercise time per session in which the user has to continue exercise at the recommendatory exercise intensity value;

a recommendatory number of sessions in one day in which the user has to do exercise for the recommendatory exercise time at the recommendatory exercise intensity value in a day; and

a recommendatory number of days of doing exercise to keep the recommendatory number of sessions in one day for a certain period.

10. The exercise evaluation method of claim 9, wherein the content of each of the plurality of recommendatory exercise programs further comprises at least one of a title of a corresponding recommendatory exercise program and exercise continuation information which designates whether the user has to continue or discontinue doing exercise at the recommendatory exercise intensity value to satisfy the recommendatory exercise time per session.

11. The exercise evaluation method of claim 9, wherein the analyzing of the degree of accomplishing the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program comprises analyzing the degree of accomplishing the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program by using at least one of a ratio of the measured exercise intensity value to the recommendatory exercise intensity value of the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program, a ratio of time in which the measured exercise intensity value within a range of the recommendatory exercise intensity value is continued to the recommendatory exercise time per session of the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program, and a ratio of the number of days of doing exercise keeping the recommendatory number of sessions to the recommendatory number of days of doing exercise of the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program.

12. The exercise evaluation method of claim 9, wherein the analyzing of the degree of accomplishing the content of the selected recommendatory exercise program comprises converting a type of the measured exercise intensity into a type of the exercise intensity value of the recommendatory exercise program selected by the user when the type of the measured exercise intensity differs from the type of the exercise intensity value of the content of the recommendatory exercise program selected by the user.
