With the development of the economy, people pay more and more attention to their own health. Push-ups are one of the most commonly used fitness methods, and the count of push-ups is the most important index in push-up training.
The existing intelligent push-up counting is usually to set a sensor at a certain fixed position, and to count by detecting the up and down repetitive motion of the human body. For example, a patent application with publication number CN104922888A discloses a push-up counting method based on an intelligent mobile terminal, comprising: A, the intelligent mobile terminal receives an operation command from the user to enable the push-up counting function, and selects the counting mode; B. according to the selected counting mode, the intelligent mobile terminal placed at a designated position obtains the user to do push-ups and repeatedly moves up and down through sensor induction, wherein each cycle of up and down motion is counted once; C. when the counting is completed, the counting result is prompted. This patent application utilizes smart mobile terminals as sensors. The more common intelligent push-up counting device on the market is to set the sensor at a certain fixed height of the device.
However, the above-mentioned technology counts only by simply detecting the repetitive movement up and down, and cannot judge whether the action is effective.
In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is: to provide a method and device for counting push-ups, which can judge whether the user's push-up movements are standard and valid, and avoid misjudgment.
In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution that the present application adopts is:

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. A lot of specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, and the described implementations are only a part of the implementations of the present application, but not all of the implementations. Based on the implementation manners in the present application, all other implementation manners obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.
It should be noted that the ground lift data mentioned in the present application is the data of the distance to the platform supported by the human body when the action is performed.
Please refer to
The beneficial effect of above-mentioned method for counting push-ups is: a posture dynamic process capture is realized. Only when the user completes a set of complete and standard actions from the highest point down to the lowest point, and then back to the highest point from the lowest point, so that only standard actions are counted, thereby preventing misjudgment caused by non-standard actions.
Further, before the detection of the user's ground lift data in real time, the method further comprises: presetting marks, wherein the marks comprise a highest point mark and a lowest point mark;
Further, the marks comprise: a downward process mark and an upward process mark, wherein according to the downward process mark, judging whether the data is a continuously decreasing data change mark, and according to the upward process mark, judging whether the data is a continuously increasing data change mark. Specifically, if the data that is continuously larger than the downward process mark and the data that is continuously smaller than the downward process mark appear successively according to the time, it is judged as a continuously decreasing data change mark; if the data that is continuously smaller than the upward process mark and the data that is continuously greater than the upward process mark appear successively according to the time, then it is judged as a continuously increasing data change mark.
It can be known from the above description that the present application captures the dynamic process of motion postures by way of marking, so as to determine whether the action is valid. Specifically, it can be realized by setting four mark points, namely, the highest point mark, the downward process mark, the lowest point mark, and the upward process mark to increase flexibility.
Further, the highest point mark is 30-45 cm from the ground, and the lowest point mark is 0-20 cm from the ground.
As can be seen from the above description, set 20-30 cm as the measurement distance to simulate the progress of the action. Less than 20 cm is regarded as the ground distance, and 30-45 cm is regarded as the starting and resting distance. The aforementioned distance range setting can meet the usage requirements of different users, and improves the adaptability.
Further, a voice broadcast is performed during a counting process, and when detecting that the user continuously goes down from the highest point, then stopping the broadcast.
From the above description, it can be seen that by adding voice announcements, such as voice reporting, sound effects, etc., the user experience is improved. However, after the action is matched with the voice, too frequent voice switching may occur, which may easily lead to unsmooth voice. By detecting that the user is continuously going down from the highest point, that is, after the next action starts, the voice broadcast is forcibly interrupted, so that the action has no voice back shake.
Further, the ground lift data is a ground lift data from a middle position of the user's chest to the ground.
It can be seen from the above description that the change of the middle position of the chest is one of the most important indicators of the dynamic change of the push-up action, and the change of the position is relatively easy to realize in measurement, and the measurement accuracy is improved.
Further, the user's ground lift data is detected by using TOF laser sensing technology.
It can be seen from the above description that TOF laser sensing technology has higher stability and light resistance, which effectively improves the accuracy of counting.

A method for counting push-ups, which uses TOF laser sensing technology to detect the user's ground lift data. The working mode of laser sensing can be set as: 0-20 cm from the ground is the accurate measurement distance, 20-30 cm is the buffer distance; the maximum measurement distance of the hardware is 200 cm, the sampling rate is 60 mm/time.
The specific process includes:
Presetting marks, wherein the marks comprise a highest point mark a downward process mark, a lowest point mark and an upward process mark. The highest point mark is 30-45 cm from the ground, and the lowest point mark is 0-20 cm from the ground. The downward process mark is located between the highest point down to the lowest point, and the upward process mark is located between the lowest point up to the highest point.
Detecting the ground lift data between the middle position of the user's chest and the ground in real time.
According to the ground lift data, if a user continuously goes down from a preset highest point and passes a preset lowest point, and then continuously goes up and passes the preset highest point, judging as an effective action, then counting once; otherwise, judging as an invalid action and stopping the counting. Specifically, after detecting the highest point mark in the user's ground lift data, according to the time sequence, if the data continues to decrease, and the range that does not enter the lowest point mark continues to increase, then the subsequent upward process will not be judged, it will be judged as an invalid action, and the counting will end. If the data continues to decrease, and the data that is continuously larger than the downward process mark and the data that is continuously smaller than the downward process mark appear successively according to the time, and does not enter the range of the lowest point mark, then the data is judged to be a continuously decreasing data change mark. After judging that the data is continuously smaller than the data change mark, if the data enters the range of the lowest point mark, and the data that is continuously smaller than the upward process mark and the data that is continuously greater than the upward process mark appear successively according to the time, then the data is judged to be a continuously increasing data change mark. After judging that the data is a continuously increasing data change mark, if the data enters the range of the highest point mark, it will be judged as a valid action and counted once. Otherwise, it is judged as an invalid action, and the counting ends.
Due to the marking posture, there may be a problem that the user stops halfway through the action, and needs to continue to complete the last action next time. In this embodiment, as long as it is judged as an invalid action, the counting ends, and the user returns to the leaving state, and starts counting again by performing a new action next time.
In a preferred setting, voice broadcast is also performed during the counting process, such as voice reporting, sound effects, etc. When it is detected that the user has continuously descended from the highest point, the broadcast will stop. You can also set a timer to adjust the training intensity and rest time, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening training.

If the lowest point mark appears and the data is a continuously increasing data change mark and then returns to the highest point mark, it is judged as a valid action and counted once, otherwise it is judged as an invalid action and the counting ends.
According to the time sequence, if the data that is continuously larger than the downward process mark and the data that is continuously smaller than the downward process mark appear, it is judged as a continuously decreasing data change mark. According to the time sequence, if the data that is continuously smaller than the upward process mark and the data that is continuously greater than the upward process mark appear, it is judged as a continuously increasing data change mark.
