Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor configured to record exercise history information relating to an exercise performed by a user of the electronic device, and a memory configured to store the exercise history information, wherein the processor is configured to record the exercise history information continuously if an exercise application of the electronic device is unintentionally terminated, and retrieve the stored exercise history information when the exercise application is restarted.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a processor configured to record exercise history information relating to an exercise performed by a user of the electronic device; and

a memory configured to store the exercise history information;

wherein the processor is configured to;

record the exercise history information continuously if an exercise application of the electronic device is unintentionally terminated,

retrieve the stored exercise history information when the exercise application is restarted, and

output at least one of a user interface on the display and audio information for notifying the user of an unintentional termination of the exercise application during the exercise.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the unintentional termination of the exercise application comprises at least one of where the exercise application is forcibly terminated due to insufficient memory, where the exercise application is forcibly terminated due to an error of the exercise application, where the exercise application is forcibly terminated by an application managing module, and where the user terminates the exercise application arbitrarily and forcibly.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the exercise history information comprises at least one of an exercise time, exercise information, real-time exercise data, and an exercise progress rate.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to execute the exercise application in response to a selection of a display object of the user interface, and display a screen relating to the exercise application based on the exercise history information relating to the exercise.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display a screen of the exercise application based on the exercise history information relating to the exercise when the exercise application is first executed after the exercise application is unintentionally terminated.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display an object which guides to determine whether to restart the exercise when the exercise application is first executed after the exercise application is unintentionally terminated.

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to delete the exercise history information when the restart of the exercise is cancelled.

8. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to display a screen, which is the same as or similar to a screen displayed at a point in time when the exercise application is unintentionally terminated, based on the exercise history information, when the restart of the exercise is selected.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to output at least one of a user interface on the display of the electronic device and audio information corresponding to information of the exercise based on the exercise history information, at a point in time of a termination of the exercise after the exercise restarts or at a point in time when the exercise history information is displayed after the exercise restarts.

10. A method for managing exercise history information in an electronic device, the method comprising:

recording exercise history information relating to an exercise performed by a user of the electronic device continuously if an exercise application of the electronic device is unintentionally terminated;

storing the exercise history information;

retrieving the stored exercise history information when the exercise application is restarted; and

outputting at least one of a user interface on a display of the electronic device and audio information for notifying the user of an unintentional termination of the exercise application during the exercise.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the recording of the exercise history information comprises recording the exercise history information due to one of when the exercise application is forcibly terminated due to insufficient memory, when the exercise application is forcibly terminated due to an error of the exercise application, when the exercise application is forcibly terminated by an application managing module, and when the user terminates the exercise application arbitrarily and forcibly.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the recording of the exercise history information comprises recording at least one of an exercise time, exercise information, real-time exercise data, and an exercise progress rate in the exercise history information.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

executing the exercise application in response to a selection of a display object of the user interface; and

displaying a screen relating to the exercise application based on the exercise history information relating to the exercise.

14. The method of claim 10, further comprising displaying a screen of the exercise application based on the exercise history information relating to the exercise when the exercise application is first executed after the exercise application is unintentionally terminated.

15. The method of claim 10, further comprising displaying an object which guides to determine whether to restart the exercise when the exercise application is first executed after the exercise application is unintentionally terminated.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising deleting the exercise history information when the restart of the exercise is cancelled.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising displaying a screen, which is the same as or similar to a screen displayed at a point in time when the exercise application is unintentionally terminated, based on the exercise history information, when the restart of the exercise is selected.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising outputting at least one of a user interface on the display of the electronic device and audio information corresponding to information of the exercise based on the exercise history information, at a point in time of a termination of the exercise after the exercise restarts or at a point in time when the exercise history information is displayed after the exercise restarts.
