The server 120 may receive the body fat or body sugar data from the user device 110 through the communication unit 310 under a control of the control unit 320. In some cases, the communication unit 310 may directly receive the body fat or body sugar data from the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 without a relay of the user device 110. This is the case, for example, when a power of the user device is turned off, or a network condition of between the user device 110 and the server 120 or the user device 110 and the body fat or body sugar measurement device is poor, the communication unit 310 may directly receive the body fat or body sugar data from the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130.
The server 120 may analyze the received body fat or body sugar data under a control of the controller 320 and determine the application execution information according to the analysis result.
More specifically, the body fat analyzer 321 may analyze the body fat or body sugar data using a user information stored in the user database (DB) 331. The user DB 331 may store user's body fat information (for example, the body fat or body sugar data, a target body fat, a change history of body fat, and a level of previous body fat, and a reference body fat information, etc.).
For example, the body fat analyzer 321 may determine whether the user's body fat is increased or decreased by comparing a level of current body fat obtained from the body fat or body sugar data with a level of pre-stored previous body fat. The body fat analyzing unit 321 may determine the target body fat based on the current body fat obtained from the body fat or the body sugar data, according to at least one of a weight a height, an age, and a sex of the pre-stored user. The body fat analyzing unit 321 may determine a level of an insufficiency or an excess of the body fat information obtained from the body fat or the body sugar data based on the reference body fat.
The application control unit 322 may determine the application execution information by utilizing the application database (DB) 332 in accordance with a result of the body fat analysis. The application DB 332 includes at least one application provided or can be provided to the user device 110 by the server 120 and an information related thereto, for example, the application DB 332 may store an information (Hereinafter, referring to as application execution information) necessary for executing the body fat or body sugar related application provided to the user device 110. For example, the application execution information may include an information related to application download and installation, an address of application provider server, and various information provided when an application is executed, and the like. Particularly, in the case of a body fat or body sugar related application, the application execution information may include a measurement information of body fat or body sugar indicating a level of body fat or body sugar and in the case of a game application, the application execution information may include a character information or a game information corresponding to a level of body fat or body sugar.
For example, the application control unit 322 may determine, as the application execution information, an image or a level corresponding to 25% of body fat when it is determined that the current body fat is 25%, as a result of analyzing the body fat or body sugar data, or determine an image representing a level of change relative to the previous body fat, when it is determined that the current body fat relative to the previous body fat is decreased or increased, as a result of analyzing the body fat or body sugar data, or determine an image representing the target body fat, when the target body fat is determined based on the current body fat. A plurality of images or levels mapped to a plurality of body fat percentages may be stored in the application DB 332 as application execution information.
For example, the application control unit 322 may determine, as the application execution information, a game character or a level of game character corresponding to 25% of body fat when it is determined that the current body fat is 25%, as a result of analyzing the body fat or body sugar data, or determine an accessible game level or a target game level corresponding to 25% of body fat, when it is determined that the current body fat is 25%, as a result of analyzing the body fat or body sugar data. A plurality of game character images, levels of game characters, and target game levels mapped to a plurality of body fat percentages may be stored in the application DB 332 as application execution information.
The server 120 may control the user device 110 to execute the body fat or body sugar related application in accordance with the determined application execution information under a control of the controller 320. This means that, substantially, the server 120 can control the application execution operation performed on the user device 110, since the application execution information is provided to the user device 110 by the server 120.
For example, the server 120 may transmit an application execution information and a signal (hereinafter, a command signal) for instructing an application execution according to the application execution information, to the user device 110, through the communication unit 310, the user device 110 may identify the command signal, thereby executing the corresponding body fat or body sugar related application based on the application execution information corresponding the identified command signal.
Although the control unit 320 and the storage unit 330 are classified as each configuration according to a corresponding function/role, it is only one embodiment. Therefore, it does not exclude that the function/role is performed by one integrated component.
Referring to
The user device 110 receives user information in the execution state of the body fat or body sugar related application (S413). For example, the user information may include at least one of gender, age, height, and weight, and may be directly inputted from the user or received from an external device.
The body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 detects the user's body signal and measures the body fat or body sugar data of the user in step S414 and transmits the measured body fat or body sugar data to the user device 110 in step S415. The body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 may transmit the measured body fat or body sugar data after waiting until the connection between the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 and the user device 110 are recovered or the power of the user device 110 is turned on, when the connection between the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 and the user device 110 are poor or when the power of the user device 110 is turned off.
The user device 110 transmits the body fat or body sugar data received from the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 to the server 120 (S416). Alternatively, the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 may directly transmit the body fat or body sugar data to the server 120 without a relay of the user device 110, when the connection between the user device 110 and the body fat or body sugar measuring device 130 or the user device 110 and the server 120.
The server 120 analyzes the body fat or body sugar data received from the user device 110 (S417), and determines an application execution information according to the analysis result (S418). The server 120 may utilize the user information, the body fat information, or the application related information, pre-stored in the database to analyze the body fat or body sugar data and to determine the application execution information.
The server 120 transmits the determined application execution information to the user device 110 (S419). At this time, the server 120 may add an identification information of the body fat or body sugar related application and an execution command signal to the application execution information and transmit the application execution information including the identification information and the execution command signal.
The user device 110 executes the corresponding body fat or body sugar related application in accordance with the application execution information received from the server 120 in step S420 and outputs the execution result of the body fat or body sugar related application in step S421.
For example, when the user device 110 receives the application execution information and the identification information of the body fat or body sugar related application, the user device 110 identifies the body fat or body sugar related application using the identification information and executes the body fat or body sugar related application using the application execution information. Further, if the user device 110 is currently not executing the body fat or body sugar related application, the user may be notified of the reception of the application execution information and the user device 110 induce the user to input an execution command of the body fat or body sugar related application. Further, if the user device 110 is currently in the execution state of the body fat or body sugar related application, it can be automatically switched to the execution state corresponding to the application execution information according to the user's selection. The output of the execution result of the body fat or body sugar related application will be described in more detail below referencing
According to
Although it is not shown in the
According to
Further, as information on the current body fat percentage, it is possible to further provide a recommended exercise information, a recommended diet information, a reference body fat percentage, and the like.
Referring to
More specifically, since the existing target body fat percentage was 30% and the current body fat percentage is 30%, the target body fat percentage has been achieved, so that the fruit 631 corresponding to the achieved target body fat percentage 30% falls on the floor and the fruit 632 corresponding to the next target body fat percentage is displayed to be identified. Then, when the body fat percentage of 25% is achieved, the fruits 631, 632 corresponding to the target body fat percentages of 25% and 30% fall on the floor, and the fruit 633 corresponding to the next target body fat percentage of 20% is displayed to be identified. Thus, the user can intuitively confirm a change history of his or her target body fat and a next target body fat percentage. In addition, the target body fat percentage may be set according to the user's selection or according to a determination of the application control unit 322, and in particular, in the case of user selection, the body fat percentage corresponding to the fruit selected by the user can be set as the target body fat percentage.
Although it is not shown in the drawing, the user device can display the target body fat percentage in more various ways, for example, by displaying an image acquired, by jumping, the fruit corresponding to the target body fat percentage from a tree having a plurality of fruits per target body fat percentage, or the image of the fruit corresponding to the target body fat percentage is placed on the tree growing, as the current body fat percentage becomes closer to the target body fat percentage.
More specifically, if the current body fat percentage is 30%, the user device sets the game character to have the power 710-1 corresponding to the body fat percentage of 30%, and displays the character image 720-1 corresponding to the body fat percentage of 30%. Alternatively, if the current body fat percentage is 25%, the user device sets the game character to have the power 710-2 corresponding to the body fat percentage of 25%, and displays the character image 720-2 corresponding to the body fat percentage of 25%. For example, the lower the body fat percentage, the higher the character power, and the character image can be set to be slim or to make a smiling face.
Although it is not shown in the drawings, it is possible to provide a character image list differentiated according to the current body fat percentage (for example, the lower the body fat percentage, the more selectable images or the higher power images can be selected), and to induce the user to select a character image.
Referring to
More specifically, assuming that the game level is 1 to 10 and the accessible game level is 10 to 1 for the body fat percentage of 1 to 50%, it is possible to access game levels 1 to 4 when the current body fat percentage is 30%, and %, it is possible to access game levels 1 to 5 when the current body fat percentage is 25%. The lower the body fat percentage, the higher the level of accessible game can be set. In addition, if it is possible to set a target game level by reflecting the target body fat percentage, for example, when the current body fat percentage is 30%, the target game level can be set to level 5 by setting the target body fat percentage to 25%, and when the current body fat percentage is 25%, the target game level can be set to level 6, by setting the target body fat percentage to 20%.
Further, the user device may display an image related to increase or decrease of the body fat during a game execution. Therefore, the user can always be aware of the increase or decrease of body fat during the execution of the game application.
For example, a user device, as an image related to body fat increases, junk food icons to the body, such as high-calorie and fast food can be displayed, and when the game character obtains the junk food icons to the body, a low score is given to the game character, or the power or energy of the game character is reduced. In addition, the user device, as an image related to body fat decreases, a vegetable or good food icons to the body, such as low-calorie can be displayed, and when the game character obtains the good food icons to the body, the power or energy of the game character is increased, or the level of accessible game is up, or the game character is allowed to have special abilities.
Although it is not shown in the drawing, when the game application includes an exercise assisted game application that induces a user to jog, run, walk, etc., the higher the body fat percentage, the higher game level corresponding to exercise intensity can be accessed.
Also, although it is not shown in the drawings, by providing ranking information of the game application, as application execution information, to the user device, the user device can allow the user to identify users' body fat percentage and their given position through comparison between the user and other users.
Further, according to another embodiment of the present invention, some or all of the application execution information may be determined at the user device. In this case, the information necessary for determining the application execution information is pre-stored in the user device, or can be acquired by being connected to the server when necessary. In addition, it may be seen that the same or similar operation is performed in the user device by citing the description of an analysis of the body fat or body sugar data and a determination of application execution information in the server.
The above-described embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as a method, system, or system for producing software, firmware, hardware, products or combinations thereof, such as, for example, a cloud computing environment, using programming and/or storage media, and the article of manufacture may comprise a computer program, a carrier wave, or a media.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
