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;

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 at least one slope section to the display,

wherein the at least one slope section in the workout route is displayed in a different form than a non-slope section.

2. The electronic device of claim 1,

wherein the at least one slope section comprises an uphill section and a. downhill section and the uphill section, and

wherein the downhill section is configured to be displayed in different forms.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one slope section is configured to have a slope value and to be displayed in a different form according to the slope value.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine the at least one slope section based on information on a user'"'"'s workout level included in the user profile.

5. The electronic device of claim 1,

wherein the workout route includes a plura s including the at least one slope section, and

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

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

7. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a guide for the target section.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, 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, and a guide for the target section passing time point.

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

10. 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 processor is further configured to provide a guide based on the current location and the workout route.

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

12. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the 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, and a current location; and

provide a guide based on the determination result.

13. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a communication module configured to obtain the workout route data from a server or an external device.

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

obtaining workout route data including location data and elevation data, and a user profile;

determining at least one slope section through an analysis of the workout route data based on the user profile; and

outputting a map for displaying a workout route including the at least one slope section to the display.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising determining a highlight section based on a specified condition.

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

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the outputting of the map to the display comprises displaying the at least one slope section in a different form according to a slope of each of the at last one slope section.

18. The method of claim 14, further comprising outputting the user'"'"'s current location on the map.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising providing a workout guide based on the workout path and the user'"'"'s current workout state.

19. The method of clam 14, further comprising outputting the user'"'"'s current workout state to the display.
