  • Publication number: 20130143188
    Abstract: A method for providing an exercise program according to one embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for enabling a terminal to provide an exercise program, including the steps of: obtaining a trainer information list filtered according to one or more determination elements from a trainer information list received from a server and displaying the filtered trainer information list on a display of the terminal; determining at least one trainer from the filtered trainer information list by an input signal inputted into the terminal; and displaying the exercise program associated with the information of the determined trainer on the display of the terminal, the filtered trainer information list obtained by selecting elements associated with one or more determination elements from the trainer information list or by transmitting the information for one or more determination elements and receiving the filtered list transmitted from the server on the basis of one or more determination elements.

  • Patent number: 8449435
    Abstract: Disclosed is An exercise guide apparatus comprising: a sensing unit configured to obtain a heart rate of a subject; a strength determining unit configured to determine a maximal oxygen uptake of the subject; an exercise intensity measurement unit configured to determine a current exercise intensity of the subject based on the heart rate obtained by the sensing unit; and an exercise guide unit configured to estimate a fat oxidation rate of the subject, determine whether or not fat oxidation of the subject occurs, generate guide information according to a result of the determination of the occurrence of fat oxidation, and display the guide information generated, wherein the fat oxidation rate is estimated based on a ratio of fat being oxidized at the current exercise intensity to the maximal oxygen uptake, and wherein the occurrence of fat oxidation is determined by checking whether or not the fat oxidation rate estimated is greater than a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20120220969
    Abstract: A health monitoring apparatus for determining whether or not a diaper wearer has excreted based on spectrum information detected from an acoustic signal generated from the diaper, and monitoring the diaper wearer's physical condition according to the characteristics of the body wastes through color pattern-based image processing, and a health monitoring method using the same are provided. The health monitoring method of a health monitoring apparatus includes: receiving an acoustic signal from a sensing device attached to a diaper; determining whether any body wastes have been discharged based on a spectrum extracted from the acoustic signal; when it is determined that body wastes have been discharged, obtaining an image of the diaper by using a camera; obtaining characteristic information of the body wastes based on a color pattern extracted from the obtained image; and transmitting information regarding the diaper wearer's physical condition to an external terminal based on the characteristic information.
