Abstract

An analyzer analyzes a predetermined indicator concerning a swing on the basis of information concerning a swing motion of at least one of an exercise instrument and a user who operates the exercise instrument. A selector selects, according to a result of the analysis of the indicator, a type of swing support information for supporting a swing of the user and outputs the type of the swing support information.

Claims

1. A swing supporting device comprising:

an analyzer configured to analyze a predetermined indicator concerning a swing on the basis of information concerning a swing motion of at least one of an exercise instrument and a user who operates the exercise instrument; and

a selector configured to select, according to a result of the analysis of the indicator, a type of swing support information for supporting a swing of the user and output the type of the swing support information.

2. The swing supporting device according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is at least one of a tendency of the swing, the number of times of the swing, and a practice frequency of the swing per predetermined period.

3. The swing supporting device according to claim 1, wherein the swing support information includes at least one of advice information of the swing, information concerning the exercise instrument suitable for the user, information concerning a practice ground where the user practices the swing, and information concerning a sales store that sells the exercise instrument.

4. The swing supporting device according to claim 1, wherein the selector outputs coupon information as the swing support information when the indicator reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold.

5. The swing supporting device according to claim 3, wherein the selector outputs coupon information as the swing support information when the indicator reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold.

6. The swing supporting device according to claim 1, wherein

the swing support information includes identification information for identifying the user, and

the swing supporting device further comprises:

an identification-information receiver configured to receive the identification information from a terminal device of the user; and

a diagnosis-information transmitter configured to transmit, according to the received identification information, diagnosis information corresponding to the identification information to the terminal device of the user.

7. The swing supporting device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an advertisement-extraction-information generator configured to generate advertisement extraction information for extracting an advertisement related to the swing support information; and

an advertisement-extraction-information transmitter configured to transmit the advertisement extraction information to an outside, wherein

the swing supporting device receives advertisement information extracted on the basis of the advertisement extraction information from an outside and outputs the received advertisement information.

8. The swing supporting device according to claim 3, further comprising:

an advertisement-extraction-information generator configured to generate advertisement extraction information for extracting an advertisement related to the swing support information; and

an advertisement-extraction-information transmitter configured to transmit the advertisement extraction information to an outside, wherein

the swing supporting device receives advertisement information extracted on the basis of the advertisement extraction information from an outside and outputs the received advertisement information.

14. A swing supporting system comprising:

the swing supporting device according to claim 1;

an inertial sensor; and

a swing analyzing device configured to analyze, using an output of the inertial sensor, a swing motion of at least one of an exercise instrument and a user who operates the exercise instrument.

15. A swing supporting system comprising:

the swing supporting device according to claim 2;

an inertial sensor; and

a swing analyzing device configured to analyze, using an output of the inertial sensor, a swing motion of at least one of an exercise instrument and a user who operates the exercise instrument.

9. A swing supporting method comprising:

analyzing a predetermined indicator concerning a swing on the basis of information concerning a swing motion of at least one of an exercise instrument and a user who operates the exercise instrument; and

selecting, according to a result of the analysis of the indicator, a type of swing support information for supporting a swing of the user and outputting the type of the swing support information.

10. The swing supporting method according to claim 9, wherein the indicator is at least one of a tendency of the swing, the number of times of the swing, and a practice frequency of the swing per predetermined period.

11. The swing supporting method according to claim 9, wherein the swing support information includes at least one of advice information of the swing, information concerning the exercise instrument suitable for the user, information concerning a practice ground where the user practices the swing, and information concerning a sales store that sells the exercise instrument.

12. The swing supporting method according to claim 9, wherein the outputting the type of the swing support information includes outputting coupon information as the swing support information when the indicator reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold.

13. A storage device having stored therein a computer program for causing a computer to execute:

analyzing a predetermined indicator concerning a swing on the basis of information concerning a swing motion of at least one of an exercise instrument and a user who operates the exercise instrument; and

selecting, according to a result of the analysis of the indicator, a type of swing support information for supporting a swing of the user and outputting the type of the swing support information.

16. A swing supporting device that analyzes, on the basis of a swing of an exercise instrument of a user, an indicator concerning the swing, selects, according to a result of the analysis of the indicator, a type of swing information concerning the swing of the user, and outputs the swing information of the selected type.

17. The swing supporting device according to claim 16, wherein the indicator is at least one of a tendency of the swing, the number of times of the swing, and a practice frequency of the swing per predetermined period.

18. The swing supporting device according to claim 16, wherein the swing support information includes at least one of advice information of the swing, information concerning the exercise instrument suitable for the user, information concerning a practice ground where the user practices the swing, and information concerning a sales store that sells the exercise instrument.
