Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing workout guide information are provided. The apparatus includes a display, a memory configured to store workout route data including location data and elevation data, and a user profile, and a processor configured to determine at least one slope section through an analysis of the workout route data based on the user profile and output a map for displaying a workout route including the slope section to the display. The slope section in the workout route is configured to be displayed in a different form than a non-slope section. In addition, various embodiments identified throughout the specification are disclosed.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

at least one sensor configured to sense at least one of a location of the electronic device or an elevation of the electronic device;

a memory configured to;

store workout route data including location data and elevation data, and

store a user profile including user'"'"'s workout level; and

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to;

determine a workout route including a first section which is flat, a second section which has slope with a first range degree, and a third section which has a slope with a second range degree higher than the first range degree based on the workout route data and the user'"'"'s workout level included in the user profile, and

present, on the display, a map for displaying the workout route,

wherein the first section is determined as a flat section and the second section and the third section are determined as uphill sections, in response to the user'"'"'s workout level is a first level, and

wherein the first section and the second section are determined as flat sections and the third section are determined as an uphill section, in response to the user'"'"'s workout level is a second level higher than the first level.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the uphill sections and the downhill sections are displayed in forms different from each other.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the uphill sections are each configured to:

include a slope value, and

be displayed in a different form according to the slope value.

4. The electronic device of claim 1,

wherein the workout route includes a plurality of sections including the first section, the second section, and the third section, and

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine a section from the plurality of sections included the workout route as a target section.

5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine the target section based on a user input.

6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to provide a guide for the target section.

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the guide comprises at least one of a guide for the target section entry time point, a guide for a feature of the target section, a guide for a time consumed when passing the target section, or a guide for the target section passing time point.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the feature of the target section comprises a slope degree of the target section.

9. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a global positioning system (GPS) configured to obtain current location information of the electronic device,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to provide a guide based on the current location and the workout route.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the guide is further configured to include at least one of a guide for representing route deviation or a route feature.

11. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine at least one of a workout duration time, a workout distance, an average speed, a maximum speed, a current speed, or a current location, and

provide a guide based on the determination result.

12. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a transceiver configured to obtain the workout route data from a server or an external device.

13. A method for providing a workout guide of an electronic device, the method comprising:

sensing, by at least one sensor, at least one of a location of the electronic device or an elevation of the electronic device;

obtaining, from a memory, workout route data including location data and elevation data, and a user profile including user'"'"'s workout level;

determining, by at least one processor, a workout route including a first section which is flat, a second section which has slope with a first range degree, and a third section which has a slope with a second range degree higher than the first range degree based on the workout route data and the user'"'"'s workout level included in the user profile; and

presenting, by the at least one processor, a map for displaying the workout route,

wherein the first section is determined as a flat section and the second section and the third section are determined as uphill sections, in response to the user'"'"'s workout level is a first level, and

wherein the first section and the second section are determined as flat sections and the third section are determined as an uphill section, in response to the user'"'"'s workout level is a second level higher than the first level.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

determining a highlight section based on a specified condition.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the specified condition corresponds to at least one of calorie consumption, a traveling time, an elevation change, or a traveling distance.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the presenting of the map to the display comprises displaying the uphill section and the downhill section in forms different from each other.

17. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

outputting the user'"'"'s current location on the map.

18. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

outputting the user'"'"'s current workout state to the display.

19. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

providing a workout guide based on the workout path and the user'"'"'s current workout state.

20. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

at least one sensor configured to sense at least one of a location of the electronic device or an elevation of the electronic device;

a memory configured to;

store workout route data including location data and elevation data, and

store a user profile including user'"'"'s workout level; and

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to;

determine a workout route including sections based on the workout route data including the location data and the elevation data,

present, on the display, a map for the workout route including the sections, the sections comprising at least one slope section and at least one non-slope section,

determine a first section included in the sections as one of the at least one slope section in response to the user'"'"'s workout level being a first level, and

determine the first section included in the sections as one of the at least non-slope section in response to the user'"'"'s workout level being a second level higher than the first level,
