The disclosure relates to a play experience system.
More specifically, the disclosure relates to a play experience system that can precisely measure physical development items of users including children and juveniles by using play-type experience devices.
In general, a person can stay healthy by being physically active along with mental activity. In the past, almost everyone moved their bodies in their everyday lives, but in recent times many people need to exercise separately because of an increase in their indoor activities.
Therefore, in places nationwide that have good scenery, trails or walking areas have been established to provide conditions for various exercises to be undertaken in a pleasant environment.
However, because people living in a city need to make many preparations in order to do exercise on trails or walking areas, and the conditions are often unfavorable, it is not easy for people living in a city to use trails or walking areas.
In addition, users that have less time for exercise mostly use gyms. If it is not feasible to use a gym, they often prepare fitness equipment at home for exercise. For this, various kinds of fitness equipment with excellent performance are available.
However, in the case of exercising alone in a gym or at home, a problem is that exercise is not undertaken continually because the user loses interest and easily becomes tired of the exercise.
Especially in the case of children, because amusement facilities for children such as play areas and jungle gyms are merely physical amusement facilities only for simple play and having fun and are composed of only facilities and equipment with a lack of professionalism and limited usage, there is also a problem in that the frequency of return visits decreases. Also, children's understanding of or accessibility to high-tech culture is degraded.
As a scheme for solving the above problems in the related art, domestic patent application publication no. 10-2019-0098870 discloses a Medi-Sportainment physical strength measurement and analysis system for play-type child growth and development, which measures physical strength, including such as body, balance, and sensation while a user has fun.
However, according to the related art document, because only one basic physical strength measurement is taken of physical strength items evaluated through physical strength measurement equipment per evaluation items provided in an experience room, there is a problem in that it is not possible to obtain information on results showing children's precise basic physical strength.
In addition, in the case that all children do not use the physical strength items evaluated by the physical strength measurement equipment per evaluation items provided in the space of the experience room, accurate measurement of the basic physical strength items is not possible; thus, there is a problem in that it is not possible to use result information showing the basic physical strength items measured as above as standard information for basic physical strength items.
Accordingly, there is a need for a new scheme for solving the above problems in the related art.
The disclosure is proposed to solve the above problems in the related art, and an aspect of the disclosure is to provide a play experience system in which a plurality of experience rooms constituting an experience device for play-type experiences are configured as a plurality of variable modules disposed in the form of courses. Also, by variably configuring weight values for a user's physical development items to be measured in the plurality of experience rooms, a user's physical development items can be measured comprehensively and precisely, and standard information on the physical development items can be updated more accurately and precisely through a continuous feedback of information (data) values of the measured physical development items into existing information (data) values.
In order to solve the above problems, a play experience system according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include an experience device including a plurality of experience rooms configured to provide spaces in which a user can carry out a play-type experience and composed of variable modules that are connected to form a course, and a plurality of experience instruments provided in each of the plurality of experience rooms for the user to experience the play-type experience so that physical development items of the user are measured comprehensively; a sensor device including at least one or more sensors being disposed in a predetermined area of each of the plurality of experience instruments and configured to measure comprehensively the physical development items while the user experiences the plurality of experience instruments; and a processing device configured to receive body composition information and heart rate information of the user and comprehensive measurement information on the physical development items of the user from the at least one or more sensors, and to obtain result information on a current level of the physical development items of the user by comparing the received comprehensive measurement information on the physical development items with pre-stored standard information on the physical development items.
The play experience system according to the embodiment of the disclosure can achieve the following effects.
1. Because the experience device for the play-type experience is configured as variable modules disposed in the form of courses, the physical development items of the user can be measured comprehensively and precisely.
2. Because the result information on the user's physical development items measured using the plurality of experience instruments is continually updated, the result information can be used as physical development standard information.
3. Because the plurality of experience rooms are configured as variable modules, the level of difficulty of the plurality of experience instruments being provided respectively in the plurality of experience rooms can be adjusted; thus, a user having repeated experiences cannot lose interest or stop having fun.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that the same drawing reference numerals are used for the same elements. Further, a detailed explanation of related well-known functions or configurations incorporated herein will be omitted in the case where it is determined that they obscure the subject matter of the disclosure.
Hereinafter, a play experience system according to an embodiment of the disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of
With reference to
The experience device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150 and a plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 provided in the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150, respectively.
The plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150 may provide spaces in which a user can carry out a play-type experience, and they may be composed of variable modules which are connected to form a course.
More specifically, in configuring the play experience system, the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150 may be formed as a variable module structure so as to be disposed in various forms in accordance with the size of the space and the environmental conditions.
Each of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be provided in the space of each of the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150 so that the user can have a play-type experience for comprehensive measurement of physical development items. Further, although the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 may be connected in the form of courses, it is to be noted that the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In this case, each of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 may be implemented so that the user can undertake activities to cause the user to be interested and to have fun, and they may enable the user to measure comprehensively feature values of physical development items including muscular strength, muscular endurance, agility, a quick reaction, balance, and cardiorespiratory endurance of the user.
Weight values may be given to some or all of the physical development items being measured in the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160, and the disposition of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 in the experience device may be provided variably in accordance with the weight values. Based on the physical development measurement items of the user measured by each of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160, result information on the physical development items at the current level of the user may be obtained.
Hereinafter, several examples of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 will be described in detail.
Meanwhile, although not illustrated, before the user enters into the first experience room 110 among the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150, the processing device 300 to be described later is provided with and stores basic personal information of the user, and the processing device 300 issues a personal membership number associated with the basic personal information. Thereafter, the user wears a wearable device (e.g., wrist band) with a recorded membership number to provide the user's bio-information, and a helmet on which a tag for safety protection and the user's location recognition is mounted. Here, the wearable device of which the membership number has been recorded may be provided in a body with the helmet.
In this case, the basic information may include a user's name, age, gender, and guardian information, and the bio-information may include information on the user's heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure. The basic information and the bio-information may be stored and managed in the processing device 300 to be described later using network communication. Further, the user's body information, such as height and weight, may be measured through body information measurement equipment disposed on the side of a pre-experience instrument to be described later, and then such information may be stored in the processing device 300.
The sensor device 200 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be disposed in any one area or location of each of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 provided in each of the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150, and it may include at least one or more sensors (not illustrated) transmitting the physical development measurement information measured while the user experiences the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 to the processing device 300 to be described later.
As for the sensor device 200, at least one of a pressure sensor, a short-range sensor, a touch sensor, and a motion detection sensor for measuring the physical development with respect to the muscular strength, muscular endurance, agility, a quick reaction, flexibility, balance, and cardiorespiratory endurance of the user is installed in each of the experience rooms and on each of the experience instruments, and it provides comprehensive measurement of the physical development items of the user while the user experiences the experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 while moving through the respective experience rooms 110, 130, and 150.
The processing device 300 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may receive the pre-measured body composition information and the heart rate information of the user and the measurement information on the physical development items of the user from the at least one or more sensors, and it may obtain the result information on the current level of the physical development items of the user by comparing the received measurement information on the physical development items with the standard information on the pre-stored physical development items. The processing device 300 may be implemented by, for example, a server, a PC, and a microcontroller, but it is to be noted that the disclosure is not limited thereto.
Meanwhile, the processing device 300 may derive the correlation between the result information and the physical development items by using the information measured by each of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160, and the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 provide the weight values be given to some or all of the expected physical development items through the measured information.
The processing device 300 may calculate the result information on the current level of the physical development items of the user in contrast with the standard information on the pre-stored physical development items based on the measurement information on the physical development items of the user measured through the at least one or more sensors provided in each of the plurality of experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 during the time that the user enters the first experience room 110 and exits the first experience room 110 and the pre-measured and stored heart rate change information.
Meanwhile, the standard information on the physical development items pre-stored in the processing device 300 may be obtained using a generally well-known physical activity promotion system (PAPS), and this will be explained simply as follows.
The physical development standard information for the body composition of the user may be obtained using an in-body test. In this case, using the in-body test, the user's weight, body mass index, body fat mass, and body fat percentage may be obtained. Further, the physical development standard information on the user's muscular strength may be obtained using a grip force meter; and, for example, it may be obtained by measuring the maximum value of the grip force meter for a dominant one of both hands of the user. Further, the physical development standard information on the user's muscular endurance may be obtained by performing upper body roll up; and, for example, it may be obtained by measuring the number of successes until the point of failure by an upper body roll up being performed by one cycle every 3 seconds. Further, the physical development standard information on cardiorespiratory endurance of the user may be obtained by performing a 15 m long round trip or by measuring the heart rate through a step test. Further, the physical development standard information on the user's flexibility may be obtained through forward bending of the upper body in a seated state. Further, the physical development standard information on the quick reaction of the user may be obtained through a standing long jump. Further, the physical development standard information on the agility of the user may be obtained through a total physical response test or a side-step test. Finally, the physical development standard information on the balance of the user may be obtained through the user standing on one leg with eyes closed.
Meanwhile, although not illustrated, separately from the experience device, the standard information on the physical development items, of which the correlation with some or all of the physical development items is verified, may be pre-obtained and used by using information measured through each of a plurality of pre-experience instruments (not illustrated) being provided so as to measure individually the physical development items before the user has an experience through the experience device.
The pre-experience instrument may be provided separately from the experience device 100, and it may be implemented as a structure similar to the experience device 100.
That is, the measurement information on the physical development items measured using the pre-experience instrument may be collected with respect to a plurality of users (e.g., 100 users having the same age), and information obtained by calculating an average value may be used as the standard information on the physical development items.
The standard information on the physical development items measured and obtained in the above method is stored in the processing device 300, and the processing device 300 collects the measurement information on the physical development items obtained by the user through the actual experience instruments 120, 140, and 160 from at least one or more sensors and obtains the result information on the physical development items at the current level of the user by comparing the collected measurement information on the physical development items with the pre-stored standard information on the physical development items.
Meanwhile, in the case that a user that has carried out the physical development items measures the physical development items again through the experience device 100 composed of the same experience instruments 120, 140, and 160, the processing device 300 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may adjust the experience difficulty for the experience device 100 based on the pre-stored physical development result information of the user. As an example of the difficulty adjustment of the experience device 100, the difficulty of the experience device 100 may be adjusted not only by controlling adjustment of the passage time of each of the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150 or adjustment of the time or frequency of button touch of the touch sensor, but also it may be adjusted by changing game (play) content being provided in the plurality of experience rooms 110, 130, and 150.
That is, the experience device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be implemented to be able to adjust the difficulty, and the user may not lose interest or stop having fun even if the user performs an activity repeatedly with the same experience device 100. Further, degradation of the measurement reliability, which may occur by the predicted behavior through the user's repeated experience with respect to the same configuration of the experience device 100, may be prevented.
As described above, the processing device 300 of the play experience system according to an embodiment of the disclosure may receive and store the result information on the physical development items of the user.
The processing device 300 may receive a reservation for a user and basic information on the user, and it may transmit the result information on the physical development items of the user to, for example, a personal smart device 400 or a PC (not illustrated) of the user or a guardian of the user. Accordingly, the user or the guardian of the user can easily identify and manage the result information on the physical development items of the user through the personal smart device 400 or the PC.
Meanwhile, the processing device 300 may update the result information on the physical development items obtained from a plurality of users, and it may provide the updated result information on the physical development items as the standard information on the physical development items. That is, because the result information on the physical development items obtained by the plurality of users through the experience device 100 is updated by the processing device 300, and the updated result information on the physical development items is utilized as the standard information on the physical development items, more precise result information on the physical development items of the user who experiences the experience device 100 can be obtained.
