In describing the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used to designate similar constituent elements.

As used herein, the expression “have”, “may have”, “include”, or “may include” refers to the existence of a corresponding feature (e.g., numeral, function, operation, or constituent element such as component), and does not exclude one or more additional features.

In the present disclosure, the expression “A or B”, “at least one of A or/and B”, or “one or more of A or/and B” may include all possible combinations of the items listed. For example, the expression “A or B”, “at least one of A and B”, or “at least one of A or B” refers to all of (1) including at least one A, (2) including at least one B, or (3) including all of at least one A and at least one B.

The expression “a first”, “a second”, “the first”, or “the second” used in various embodiments of the present disclosure may modify various components regardless of the order and/or the importance but does not limit the corresponding components. For example, a first user device and a second user device indicate different user devices although both of them are user devices.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, various elements of a wearable device 310 may be configured to be detachable because the wearable device 310 may be in the form of clothes; thus, its elements that are electrically connected to each other may be damaged during washing thereof. In an example embodiment, the wearable device 310 may be processed with waterproof coating to prevent the elements from being damaged by exposure to moisture.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating an environment of an example system for determining a suitable workout in consideration of a context according to various example embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 4A, a first system according to the present disclosure may include a wearable device 410a, an electronic device 430, and a service server 450. Further, referring to FIG. 4B, a second system according to the present disclosure may include a wearable device 410b and a service server 450.

In the first system as illustrated in FIG. 4A, the wearable device 410a may communicate with other external electronic devices through at least one other electronic device 430. On the other hand, in the second system as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the wearable device 410b may directly communicate with other external electronic devices.

In the description, the wearable device is used to include both the wearable device 410a and the wearable device 410b, and it is not used to be limited to any one specific system.

According to various embodiments, the wearable device 410a or 410b may measure a bio-signal of a user who wears the wearable device 410a or 410b. The wearable device 410a or 410b may include at least one of an accessory type (e.g., watch, ring, bracelet, anklet, necklace, glasses, contact lens, or Head-Mounted Device (HMD)), a fabric or garment-integrated type (e.g., e-clothing), a body-mounted type (e.g., skin pad or tattoo), and a bio-implantable circuit, or the like, but is not limited thereto. If the wearable device 410a or 410b is of the fabric or garment-integrated type, it may be in the form of at least one of T-shirt, trousers, and underwear, or the like, but is not limited thereto. In an example embodiment, the wearable device 410a or 410b may be in the form of at least one of socks, gloves, shoes, belt, and trousers, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

Bio-signals that are measured by such a wearable device 410a or 410b may refer to, for example, signals of heartbeat, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Photoplethysmogram (PPG), breath, body fat, acceleration, body size, or Electromyogram (EMG).

Further, in a certain embodiment, the wearable device 410a or 410b may omit at least one sensor module or may be additionally provided with other elements.

According to various embodiments, if it is necessary for the electronic device 420 to measure user's bio-data, the electronic device 420 may request the wearable device 410a to provide at least a partial function related to a function or a service of the electronic device 420 instead of or in addition to self-execution of the function or the service. For example, the wearable device 410a may measure the bio-signal using the sensor module, and it may transmit the measured bio-signal to the electronic device 420 through a communication interface.

Although not illustrated, two or more wearable devices may be used in one system. In the case where a plurality of wearable devices transmit user's bio-signals, they may be configured to periodically transmit the user's bio-signals so as to prevent the occurrence of signal overlapping.

Referring to FIG. 5, at operation 501, an electronic device or a wearable device (hereinafter referred to as “electronic device”) may receive a command for executing a workout program. The command may be received from a user or another electronic device (e.g., external electronic device or server). Further, in a certain embodiment, if a preset context occurs, it may be set to execute a workout program. The preset context may be, for example, a case where a specific time arrives, a case where it is recognized that a user is located in a specific place, or a case where a preset period arrives. In addition, it is also possible to set a workout program to be executed in various specific contexts.

At operation 503, the electronic device may collect context data for the user. The context data may mean data that includes all contexts that are considered to determine a suitable workout. For example, the context data may include all pieces of information that are required to determine suitable workout content, such as personal information of the user, surrounding environment information of the user, and reference information.

According to various embodiments, the context data may be acquired from the user, a sensor included in the electronic device, and other external electronic devices through various reception paths.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example concept of context data according to various example embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to various embodiments, the context data may include user-based context data 610, environment-based context data 630, and reference-based context data 650.

The user-based context data 610 may include bio-data and personal record data. The bio-data may refer, for example, to a user's current bio-information that is acquired in real time through sensors, such as the number of steps, blood pressure, heart rate, stress index, and blood oxygen saturation. On the other hand, the personal record data may refer, for example, to user's inherent bio-information that is pre-stored in a memory. For example, the personal record data may include body information that is acquired on the basis of a user input, such as a user's stature, age, sex, presence or absence of disease, and menstrual cycle; accumulated personal record information, such as sleep time on the day, calorie consumption on the day, workout time on the day, and accumulated workout time; and analysis information that is acquired on the basis of the personal record data, such as average calorie intake, average calorie consumption, average workout time, average sleep time, average stress index, average heart rate, maximum heart rate, heart rate at rest, basal metabolic rate, average blood pressure, and average blood sugar level.

The environment-based context data 630 may refer, for example, to information indicating at least a surrounding environment of a user, such as surrounding weather of a user, humidity, fine dust concentration, an atmospheric temperature, a wind direction, a wind speed, an altitude, an ultraviolet ray index, a rainfall probability, a rainfall amount, and a wave height. In the description, although it is stated that the environment-based context data is acquired through a service server 450 of the electronic device, it may be directly acquired through sensors included in the electronic device.

The reference-based context data 650 may refer, for example, to information that is acquired with reference to references, such as a cough possibility index, an asthma-pulmonary disease possibility index, a stroke possibility index, and a skin disease possibility index.

At operation 505, the electronic device may determine whether it is suitable for the user to perform a planned workout content based on the collected context data.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device may pre-store the workout content that is planned to be performed by the user; and, in a certain embodiment, the electronic device may receive the workout content from another external electronic device. Further, the workout content may be manually planned by the user, or it may be planned by the electronic device or the other external electronic device using an algorithm in accordance with a target value that is designated by the user. For example, if the user inputs the target value, the algorithm may distribute a proper plan that can achieve the target value.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device may determine whether the workout performance is suitable in consideration of a place in which the workout is performed, a user's workout purpose, or a user's workout style. For example, if it is planned that the user performs an outdoor workout and the collected context data indicates that the outdoor workout is unsuitable (e.g., 90% rainfall probability, very bad fine dust concentration, high ultraviolet index, or high asthma-pulmonary disease possibility index), the electronic device may determine that it is unsuitable for the workout content planned by the user to be performed. Further, in a certain embodiment, if a user who aims at rehabilitation therapy plans a workout content that may disturb the user's rehabilitation therapy, the electronic device may determine that it is unsuitable for the workout content planned by the user to be performed. Further, in a certain embodiment, if a user plans a specific workout content that has a very low target attainment rate, the electronic device may determine that it imposes too much burden on the user and that it is unsuitable to enforce the performance of the specific workout content.

At operation 505, if the electronic device determines that performance of the planned workout content is unsuitable, the process may move to operation 507. At operation 507, the electronic device may search for suitable workout content based on at least one of collected context data, attribute of the workout content, and user setup.

In order to recommend suitable workout content, the electronic device may consider a user's preference for the workout content among the collected context data. The user's preference for the workout content may be manually input by the user, or it may be automatically determined by the electronic device in consideration of the target attainment rate and performance frequency.

The attribute of the workout content may mean, for example, the self-attribute of the workout content, such as a workout content performance place (e.g., indoor workout or outdoor workout), a performance time, the degree of movement, and operation difficulty.

The user setup may mean a user's workout purpose (e.g., diet, physical strength enhancement, or health maintenance) and a user's workout style (e.g., kind and strength of a preferential workout).

According to various embodiments, in order to recommend suitable workout content, the electronic device may store workout content that is suitable for the collected context data, attributes of the workout content, and user setup in the form of a table. For example, Table 1 shows an example of storing the workout content that is suitable for the collected context data, attributes of the workout content, and user setup in the form of a table.

Referring to Table 1, for example, it is assumed that the user's workout purpose is diet, and workouts having middle or low strength are suitable. On a day with heavy rainfall, the electronic device may search for treadmill or yoga as suitable workout content with reference to Table 1. Further, in a certain embodiment, it is assumed that the user's workout purpose is physical training, and workouts having high strength are suitable. If it is determined that the user desires an outdoor workout on a fine day, the electronic device may search for mountain climbing as suitable workout content. Table 1 merely exemplifies the storing of various pieces of workout content and their attributes in the form of a table, and because it is apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that workout content and attributes can be further added or omitted, a detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

At operation 509, the electronic device may display a UI for recommending suitable workout content based on the search result. For example, if the search reveals that suitable workout content is treadmill or yoga, the electronic device may control the display to display a UI for recommending treadmill or yoga. Further, in a certain embodiment, if the search reveals that the suitable workout content is mountain climbing, the electronic device may control the display to display a UI for recommending mountain climbing.

Further, the UI for recommending suitable workout content may be configured to display previously planned workout content together. Even if it is determined that the performance of the previously planned workout content is unsuitable as a result of the determination by the electronic device, a determination on whether to perform the workout content may be made through a user's selection.

Operation 509 is not an essential element of the present disclosure and thus may be omitted. In this case, the electronic device may select workout content that is determined most suitable, and thus operation 511 may also be omitted.

At operation 511, the electronic device may receive an input for selecting specific workout content based on the UI for recommending the suitable workout content.

According to various embodiments, the specific workout content may be selected through a user's manual input, or it may be automatically selected in accordance with a pre-stored algorithm. The pre-stored algorithm may be, for example, an algorithm which pre-stores specific context if an input for selecting the specific workout content is not received for a preset period or if it is determined that the user is performing the specific workout content, and it enables the electronic device to automatically select the specific workout content to match the specific context if the stored specific context occurs.

At operation 513, the electronic device may monitor the user's workout performance. For example, if it is determined at operation 505 that it is suitable for the planned workout content to be performed, the electronic device may monitor bio-data and motion tracking data of the user who performs the planned workout content. Further, in a certain embodiment, the electronic device may monitor the bio-data and the motion tracking data of the user who performs the specific workout content that is selected at operation 511. The bio-data and the motion tracking data as monitored above may be collected and stored, and the user-based context data may be configured.

At operation 701, an electronic device 430 may receive a command for executing a workout program. Although not illustrated, the electronic device 430 and a wearable device 410a on a first system, which has received the command for executing the workout program, may perform synchronization. The synchronization may include, for example, an operation in which the wearable device 410a transmits the collected user's bio-data to the electronic device 430 or an operation in which the electronic device 430 updates firmware of the wearable device 410a.

At operation 703, the electronic device 430 may collect context data for the user. According to various embodiments, the electronic device 430 may not only collect the context data that is stored in a memory, but it may also request the context data from an external electronic device.

In order to collect the context data from another external electronic device, the electronic device 430 may transmit a signal for requesting the bio-data to the wearable device 410a at operation 705, and it may transmit a signal for requesting surrounding environment data of a user to a service server 450 of the electronic device 430 at operation 707. Although FIG. 7 illustrates that the context data is simultaneously requested from the wearable device 410a and the service server 450, the context data may be successively requested, and in acquiring the data, it is preferable to preferentially request the data that requires a long period of time.

At operation 709, the wearable device 410a that has received the request for the bio-data from the electronic device 430 may measure the user's bio-data. The wearable device 410a may collect various pieces of bio-information through various sensors.

At operation 711, the service server 450 that has received the request for the surrounding environment data of a user from the electronic device 430 may determine the user location based on a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and it may search for surrounding environment information based on the determined user location.

The wearable device 410a may transmit at operation 713 the bio data to the electronic device based on the measured bio-signal, and the service server 450 may transmit at operation 715 the surrounding environment data of the user to the electronic device 420 based on the searched surrounding environment information. Although FIG. 7 illustrates that the data is simultaneously transmitted by the wearable device 410a and the service server 450, the data may be successively transmitted, and the device that has acquired the data may preferentially transmit the data regardless of the order.

At operation 717, the electronic device 430 may determine whether the performance of the workout content that is planned by the user is suitable on the basis of the collected context data.

If the electronic device 430 determines at operation 717 that the performance of the planned workout is unsuitable, the process may move to operation 719. At operation 719, the electronic device 430 may search for suitable workout content based on at least one of the collected context data, the attribute of the workout content, and the user setup.

At operation 721, the electronic device 430 may display a UI for recommending the suitable workout content based on the result of the search. The UI for recommending the suitable workout content may be displayed on at least one of the wearable device 410a and the electronic device 430.

At operation 723, the electronic device 430 may receive an input for selecting specific workout content based on the UI for recommending the suitable workout content. The input for selecting the workout content may be performed through the electronic device 430 and the wearable device 410a, and if the wearable device 410a receives the input for the selection, it may further include an operation to transmit the result of the selection to the electronic device 430.

At operation 725, the electronic device 430 transmits the selected specific workout content to the wearable device 410a, and the user performs the specific workout content.

At operation 727, the wearable device 410a may measure the bio-signal in accordance with the specific workout content and may perform motion tracking.

At operation 729, the wearable device 410a may transmit the measured bio-signal and the result of the motion tracking in synchronization with the electronic device 430.

At operation 731, the electronic device 430 may monitor the user's workout performance based on the bio-signal and the motion tracking result, which are transmitted by the synchronized wearable device 410a.

At operation 801, a wearable device 410b may receive a command for executing a workout program.

At operation 803, the wearable device 410b may collect context data for a user. According to various embodiments, the wearable device 410b may not only acquire the user's bio-data using sensors included in the wearable device 410b, but it may also request the context data from an external electronic device in order to collect the context data stored in a memory.

At operation 805, the wearable device 410b may measure the user's bio-signal using at least one sensor included in the wearable device 410b. The measured bio-signal may be converted into bio-data that corresponds to the context data for the user.

In order to collect the context data from another external electronic device, at operation 807, the wearable device 410b may transmit a signal for requesting the surrounding environment data of the user to a service server 450.

At operation 809, the service server 450 that has received the request for the surrounding environment data of the user from the wearable device 410b may determine the user location based on a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and it may search for surrounding environment information based on the determined user location.

At operation 811, the service server 450 may transmit the surrounding environment data of the user to the wearable device 410b based on the searched surrounding environment information. Although FIG. 8 illustrates that the data is simultaneously transmitted by the wearable device 410b and the service server 450, the data may be successively transmitted, and the device that has acquired the data may preferentially transmit the data regardless of the order.

At operation 813, the wearable device 410b may determine whether the performance of the workout content that is planned by the user is suitable on the basis of the collected context data.

If the wearable device 410b determines that the performance of the planned workout is unsuitable at operation 813, the process may move to operation 815. At operation 815, the wearable device 410b may search for suitable workout content based on at least one of the collected context data, the attribute of the workout content, and the user setup.

At operation 817, the wearable device 410b may display a UI for recommending the suitable workout content based on the result of the search.

At operation 819, the wearable device 410b may receive an input for selecting specific workout content based on the UI for recommending the suitable workout content.

At operation 821, the wearable device 410b may measure the bio-signal and may perform motion tracking in order to monitor the user's workout performance.

FIGS. 9, 10, 11, 12A, 12B, 13A, 13B and 14 are diagrams illustrating a user interface according to various example embodiments of the present disclosure.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example user interface indicating that today's planned workout is running. For example, if it is assumed that today is Wednesday, 2 October and today's planned workout content is running 2.0 km, the user interface may be displayed as illustrated in FIG. 9. Referring to the user interface as illustrated in FIG. 9, it can be known that the user plans to perform brisk walking with a warm-up for 5 minutes, to perform jogging 1 km (or for 8 minutes), and to perform walking 0.5 km (or for 5 minutes).

The electronic device may determine whether the performance of today's planned workout content as illustrated in FIG. 9 is suitable; and, if the result of the determination is that it is suitable, the user interface as illustrated in FIG. 9 may be displayed.

FIGS. 10 and 11 are diagrams illustrating example user interfaces indicating that the performance of running that is planned by the user as illustrated in FIG. 9 is unsuitable and a substitute workout is performed.

For example, the electronic device may determine that today's planned outdoor workout is unsuitable with reference to environment-based context data. For example, if the environment-based context data corresponds to 90% probability of rainfall, very bad fine dust concentration, high ultraviolet index, or high asthma-pulmonary disease possibility index, the electronic device may determine that it is unsuitable to perform the outdoor workout. In this case, the electronic device may search for indoor workout content in consideration of collected context data, an attribute of the workout content, and user setup. FIG. 10 illustrates the user interface indicating that the electronic device determines that today's planned outdoor workout is unsuitable and substitute workout content is displayed. For example, if the result of the determination of the electronic device is that the user's condition and workout strength, but not the user surrounding environment, are suitable, the electronic device may recommend treadmill that is workout content having a strength that is similar to the strength of the previously planned running. Further, in the same manner as performance of the previously planned workout as illustrated in FIG. 9, the user may plan to perform brisk walking with warm-up for 5 minutes, to perform jogging 1 km (or for 8 minutes), and to perform walking 0.5 km (or for 5 minutes).

In another embodiment, the electronic device may determine that the strength of today's planned workout is unsuitable with reference to the user-based context data. For example, if today is in the user's menstrual cycle, if an average sleep time for latest 7 days is less than 7 hours, if planned workout content has already been performed, or if calorie consumption on the day is measured high, the electronic device may determine that the user's condition is unsuitable for performing today's planned workout. In this case, the electronic device may search for workout content that is suitable for the user's condition in consideration of the collected context data, the attribute of the workout content, and the user setup. FIG. 11 illustrates the user interface indicating that the electronic device determines that the user's condition is unsuitable for performing today's planned workout content and substitute workout content is displayed. For example, if the user's surrounding environment is suitable for performing an outdoor workout, but the user's condition is unsuitable for performing the workout having high strength, the electronic device may recommend walking that is workout content having a weak strength instead of the previously planned running. Further, the plan may be changed to perform walking only by the entire omission of the previously planned brisk walking and jogging.

FIGS. 12A and 12B are diagrams illustrating example user interfaces indicating that the performance of running content that is planned by the user as illustrated in FIG. 9 is unsuitable and a substitute workout is recommended. The user interfaces illustrated in FIGS. 12A and 12B recommend one piece of workout content, but they are not limited thereto. The user interfaces may recommend plural pieces of workout content.

The user interface of FIG. 12A displays a rain icon; thus, the user can intuitively recognize that the performance of an outdoor workout having a high strength is unsuitable. Further, the electronic device determines that running is unsuitable in consideration of the user's condition and workout strength and thus recommends performing stretching at home.

The user interface of FIG. 12B displays a menstrual cycle icon; thus, the user can intuitively recognize that the performance of a workout having a high strength is unsuitable. Further, the electronic device determines that performance of workout content having a high strength is unsuitable in consideration of various kinds of context data and thus recommends doing yoga at home.

FIGS. 13A and 13B are diagrams illustrating example user interfaces for monitoring a user's workout performance.

Referring to FIG. 13A, the user interface may display a workout performance time and a target workout time together with an icon that enables the user to intuitively confirm the workout content that is currently being performed by the user. For example, the user interface may also display, in real time, the current user's bio-data that is measured by a wearable device. For example, FIG. 13A illustrates a heart rate.

Referring to FIG. 13B, the user interface may display a record of workout content that the user has currently completed. For example, the currently performed workout content, the target attainment rate, the performance time, and other records can be displayed together.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example user interface in the case where performance of planned workout content or suitably changed workout content has been completed according to an example embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 14, the user interface may display workout content performance and target attainment, and it may further display a workout target for this week and the next planned workout content.

Although not illustrated, in the case where the user performs a changed workout content according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, future workout plans may also be changed. For example, if a part of plans that are established according to the workout target for one week is changed, the remaining plans should be changed together to reach the workout target. For example, it is assumed that the workout target for this week is consumption of 1000 Kcal, and today's workout content to consume 150 Kcal is planned. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may determine that it is unsuitable for the user to perform today's planned workout content. Accordingly, the electronic device may recommend workout content having a strength that is weaker than the strength of the today's planned workout content. In this case, the workout content having the weak strength consumes calories that are lower than the calories of the pre-planned workout content; thus, the electronic device may change the future plans to reach the target value.

The various example embodiments of the present disclosure are merely provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of the disclosure and not suggestive of limitation. Therefore, it should be understood that many variations and modifications of the basic concept herein described will still fall within the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined in the appended claims.
