Method and system for automatically evaluating physical health state using a game
First Claim
1. A method of automatically evaluating physical health of a user while the user is exercising using exercise equipment (10) having a sensor section (50) for sensing physical strength and a plurality of kinds of health information of the user, a main controller section (20) for executing a game with a game space for the user to perform and including a virtual subject (2) simulating the user and a reference person (1) in the game space, the controller section also capable of generating physical strength and health evaluation information based on the physical strength and plurality of kinds of health information sensed by the sensor section, the equipment also including a display device (30) for displaying information to the user and a memory means (40) for storing sensed information, evaluation information and the game, the method comprising:
- executing the game through the main controller section, display device and memory means for generating events of the game to test the users physical strength and health;
measuring and storing the physical strength and plurality of kinds of health information of the user resulting from the events using the sensor section;
causing the virtual subject to reflect an exercise state of the user based on the sensed physical strength and kinds of health information, and on a plurality of protocols for the game based on an exercise state of the reference person; and
generating and storing evaluation information based on the sensed physical strength and kinds of health information using the controller section and memory means.

Abstract
A method and system for automatically evaluating the state of a user'"'"'s physical health includes a game for maintaining the use'"'"'s interest as he exercises and which automatically measures and evaluates the user'"'"'s physical strength and health and provides an exercise prescription. The method has a game execution and measurement step performed via a main controller section with a display device, a memory and a virtual subject in the game space. Multiple standardized protocols are selected according to measurements reflected in the game and the virtual subject, reflecting an exercise state of the user on the basis of an exercise state of a reference person in the game. Measuring/reading/storing/displaying physical strength and health information occur after generating events for measuring the physical strength and health information such as particular situations, letters, sounds, voices, etc., in the game content.

7. A system for automatically evaluating physical health state of a user while the user is exercising, comprising:
-
exercise equipment (10) for use in testing a user'"'"'s physical strength and health information;
a sensor section (50) for sensing physical strength and health information of the user using the exercise equipment, from which physical strength and health evaluation information or exercise prescription information is be obtained;
a main controller section (20) for controlling the physical strength and health information sensor section (50);
a display device (30);
memory means (40) for storing a game to be executed with the exercise equipment, the physical strength and health information and the physical strength and health evaluation information or exercise prescription information, for execution of the game and for measurement steps for at least one of;
measuring, reading, storing, and displaying the physical strength and health information from the physical strength and health information sensor section (50) after events are generated for measuring the physical strength and health information;
the main controller section presenting content to the user while executing the game as a virtual subject (2) in the game, reflecting an exercise state of the user on the basis of an exercise stats of a reference person (1) in the game and so as to enable execution of the game through the display device (30) by exercising by means of the exercise equipment (10) and measurement of the physical strength and health information; and
a load adjustment section (80) controlled by the main controller section (20) so as to adjust load of the exercise equipment (10) according to at least proceeding states of the game. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
