Abstract

A sport guiding device and a sport guiding method using the same are provided. The sport guiding method includes the following steps. Two of a predetermined sport frequency intensity, a predetermined calorific capacity and a predetermined sport time are provided. A predetermined sport frequency curve is obtained according to two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time. An actual sport frequency curve of a user is detected. If the actual sport frequency curve is deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, then a tempo guiding signal is outputted.

Claims

1. A sport guiding device, comprising:

an input unit enabling the user to select two of a predetermined sport frequency intensity, a predetermined calorific capacity and a predetermined sport time, wherein the predetermined sport frequency intensity comprises a predetermined sport frequency range and a predetermined sport frequency variation situation;

a supplying unit for providing two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time, wherein the supplying unit retrieves the two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time from the input unit;

a computation unit for computing a predetermined sport frequency curve according to two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time;

a detection unit for detecting an actual sport frequency curve of a user;

a determination unit for determining whether the actual sport frequency curve is deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for a predetermined level; and

a tempo unit for outputting a first tempo guiding signal if the actual sport frequency curve is deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level;

wherein the computation unit computes the predetermined sport frequency curve according to the two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time by;

providing a sport frequency range, a calorific capacity and a sport time of a curve at random as the predetermined sport frequency mode is input through the input unit,

shifting a highest frequency of the sport frequency range of the curve to a maximum of the predetermined sport frequency range as the predetermined sport frequency range is input through the input unit, and

shifting a finish time of the sport time of the curve to the predetermined sport time and computing the predetermined calorific capacity according to the predetermined sport frequency intensity and the predetermined sport time as the predetermined sport time is input through the input unit.

2. The sport guiding device according to claim 1, wherein if the actual sport frequency curve is not deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, then the tempo unit outputs a second tempo guiding signal, and the frequency of the second tempo guiding signal matches the predetermined sport frequency curve.

3. The sport guiding device according to claim 1, wherein

if the actual sport frequency curve is lower than the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, then the frequency of the first tempo guiding signal is higher than the predetermined sport frequency curve;

and

if the actual sport frequency curve is higher than the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, then the frequency of the first tempo guiding signal is lower than the predetermined sport frequency curve.

4. The sport guiding device according to claim 1, wherein the frequency of the first tempo guiding signal matches the predetermined sport frequency curve.

5. The sport guiding device according to claim 1, wherein the supplying unit further provides a physiological information of the user.

6. The sport guiding device according to claim 5, further comprising:

a storing unit for storing the physiological information of the user;

wherein, the supplying unit retrieves two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time from the storing unit.

7. The sport guiding device according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit further determines whether an actual calorific capacity of the user has reached the predetermined calorific capacity, or determines whether an actual sport time of the user has reached the predetermined sport time, and the sport guiding device further comprises:

a prompt unit for outputting a prompt signal being an audio prompt signal or a tempo prompt signal if the actual sport frequency curve is deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, the actual calorific capacity has reached the predetermined calorific capacity, or the actual sport time of the user has reached the predetermined sport time.

8. The sport guiding device according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit further determines whether an actual calorific capacity of the user has reached the predetermined calorific capacity, or determines whether an actual sport time of the user has reached the predetermined sport time, and if the actual calorific capacity has reached the predetermined calorific capacity, or the actual sport time of the user has reached the predetermined sport time, then the tempo unit outputs a tempo prompt signal.

9. A sport guiding method using a sport guiding device, wherein the method comprises:

providing two of a predetermined sport frequency intensity, a predetermined calorific capacity and a predetermined sport time, wherein the predetermined sport frequency intensity comprises a predetermined sport frequency range and a predetermined sport frequency variation situation;

obtaining a predetermined sport frequency curve through computation according to two of the predetermined sport frequency intensity, the predetermined calorific capacity and the predetermined sport time, including;

providing a sport frequency range, a calorific capacity and a sport time of a curve at random as the predetermined sport frequency mode of the curve is provided,

shifting a highest frequency of the sport frequency range of the curve to a maximum of the predetermined sport frequency range as the predetermined sport frequency range is provided,

shifting a finish time of the sport time of the curve to the predetermined sport time as the predetermined sport time is provided,

computing the predetermined calorific capacity according to the predetermined sport frequency intensity and the predetermined sport time, and

obtaining the predetermined sport frequency curve;

detecting an actual sport frequency curve of a user; and

outputting a first tempo guiding signal if the actual sport frequency curve is deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for a predetermined level.

10. The sport guiding method according to claim 9, further comprising:

outputting a second tempo guiding signal if the actual sport frequency curve is not deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, wherein the frequency of the second tempo guiding signal matches the predetermined sport frequency curve.

11. The sport guiding method according to claim 9, wherein

if the actual sport frequency curve is lower than the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, then the frequency of the first tempo guiding signal is higher than the predetermined sport frequency curve;

and

if the actual sport frequency curve is higher than the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, then the frequency of the first tempo guiding signal is lower than the predetermined sport frequency curve.

12. The sport guiding method according to claim 9, wherein the frequency of the first tempo guiding signal matches the predetermined sport frequency curve.

13. The sport guiding method according to claim 9, further comprising:

outputting a prompt signal, the prompt signal being an audio prompt signal or a tempo prompt signal if the actual sport frequency curve is deviated from the predetermined sport frequency curve for the predetermined level, an actual calorific capacity of the user has reached the predetermined calorific capacity, or an actual sport time of the user has reached the predetermined sport time.
