Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a motion information management system according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 1, in the sports information management system, a plurality of smart mirrors 102 and 104 may be connected to be communicably connected to a server 150, and a user's mobile device 190 may be connected to the server 150 to enable communication.

The smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 may be devices that incorporate IT technology into the mirror while the mirror is still able to mirror the appearance of the user. In addition, the smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 may perform: a function of photographing the appearance of a user and storing the user's appearance as image data, a function as a display for displaying information such as images or text to the user, and a function as a communication device configured to communicate with the server 150 and the mobile device 190. The smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 of the exercise information management system may be installed in a fitness center (gym) or at home, thereby allowing the user to exercise while looking at the smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104, and the analysis result of the exercise content of the user may be displayed through the smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 to allow the user to check the result.

In the motion information management system, specifically, by sharing or exchanging motion information between the plurality of smart mirrors 102 and 104, a user can manage a motion result through the plurality of smart mirrors 102 and 104 without a limitation of location and time. In other words, as shown in fig. 1, the user (single user a) can measure his or her physical condition in the smart mirror 102 and perform a corresponding exercise (exercise 1) after receiving a prescription for an exercise suitable for the measured physical condition. As described above, the user's motion with respect to the smart mirror 102 may be transmitted from the smart mirror 102 (e.g., a first smart mirror) to another smart mirror 104 (e.g., a second smart mirror). The user (same user a) may make additional movements (movements 2 and 3) for the smart mirror 104 at different locations. The motions (motion 2 and motion 3) performed at the smart mirror 104 may be shared directly with the smart mirror 102 or sent to the server 150 to allow the smart mirror 102, the smart mirror 104, and the mobile device 190 to share motion information with each other. Specifically, by referring to the results of the motion performed at the smart mirror 102, the user may continue with subsequent motions (e.g., motions 2 and 3) related to the previous motion for the smart mirror 104 at another location. The motion in the smart mirror 102 and the motion in the smart mirror 104 may be completely uncorrelated.

As described above, in the exercise information management system, for example, the exercise result on the smart mirror installed at the fitness center (for example, the smart mirror 102) can be viewed and referred to through another smart mirror installed at the home (for example, the smart mirror 104), thereby performing an exercise on the smart mirror at the home.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a smart mirror of a motion information management system according to an exemplary embodiment. Since the smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 shown in fig. 2 are configured identically to each other, the configuration will be described with reference to the smart mirror 102. As shown in fig. 2, the smart mirror 102 may include a controller 222, a camera (e.g., a camera or a video device) 224, a user interface 226, and a display 228.

The controller 222 may be configured to perform the overall operation of the smart mirror 102. In other words, the controller 222 may be configured to: the camera 224, the user interface 226 and the display 228 are operated, communication with the server 150 is performed, and an image taken with the camera 224 is analyzed. The camera 224 may be configured to capture a user moving in front of the smart mirror 102. The user image taken by the camera 224 may capture the physical condition (body type) of the user and the movement posture of the user. The images taken by the camera 224 may be analyzed by the controller 222 and may be used to determine a health index and a motion state of the user.

The user interface 226 is an input device and may include a password input device and a biometric information input device for user authentication. The smart mirror 102 of the motion information management system may support touch input, and thus, a password may be input on a graphic displayed on the display 228 of the smart mirror 102, or user identification information may be input. In addition, after the face of the user is photographed with the camera 224, user authentication can be performed through face recognition in the user interface 226. Accordingly, user authentication may be performed through fingerprint recognition.

The display 228 may utilize the mirror portion of the smart mirror 102 as a display device. To this end, the mirror portion of the smart mirror 102 may be implemented as a half mirror. In other words, the transmittance of the mirror portion of the smart mirror 102 may be adjusted in order for the mirror to function normally like a mirror, but may be used as a display device when images or text is to be displayed.

The controller 222 of the smart mirror 102 may be configured to communicate with the server 150 to share various information. For example, information related to login information (user authentication information), the user's body type (imagery) and movement (type and result, etc.) may be sent to the server 150 to share information with another smart mirror 104. Of course, the smart mirror 102 may also share information of another smart mirror 104 via the server 150. The information of the server 150 may also be shared with the mobile device 190 owned by the user. Similar to the smart mirror 102 described above, the other smart mirror 104 of fig. 2 may also include a controller 242, a camera 244, a user interface 246, a display 248, etc., and may operate in the same manner as the smart mirror 102 based on this configuration.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a concept of sharing motion information of a motion information management system according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 3, the smart mirror 102 may be configured to diagnose the body size or muscle mass of the user by analyzing images taken by the user, and transmit the diagnosis result (i.e., diagnosis information of the body size/muscle of the user) to the server 150. In addition, the smart mirror 102 may be configured to prescribe or generate exercise suitable for the user based on the diagnosis result of body type/muscle, and transmit exercise prescription information to the server 150. The user may perform the generated motion action (e.g., motion type #1) in front of the smart mirror 102, and the smart mirror 102 may guide the user to effectively perform the motion. Motion guidance history information performed by the smart mirror 102 may also be sent to the server 150. Even if the same user moves to another smart mirror, the motion guidance generated in one smart mirror can be sequentially displayed and guided in another smart mirror after the user logs in and authenticates. Thus, the user may move to another smart mirror and continue moving there.

After completing the motion for the smart mirror 102 (motion type #1), the user may reposition to another smart mirror 104 and make another motion (e.g., motion type # 2). Specifically, the user may perform user authentication on the smart mirror 104 such that motion guidance history information for the motion performed by the smart mirror 102 from the server 150 is sent to the smart mirror 104. In other words, the user may utilize information related to the motion performed by the smart mirror 102 through user authentication in another smart mirror 104. For example, the user authentication may be facial recognition.

In addition, the user may perform a motion via the mobile device 190. Even in this case, the user may perform user authentication of the mobile device 190 such that motion guidance history information of the motions performed by the smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 from the server 150 is transmitted to the mobile device 190. In other words, the user may utilize information related to the motions performed by the smart mirror 102 and the smart mirror 104 through user authentication on the mobile device 190. For example, the user authentication may be login by an ID and password input.

The smart mirror 102 may also perform user authentication if necessary. Accordingly, the server 150 may be configured to store user information (ID, characteristics), body type/muscle diagnosis information, motion type/sequence information, and usage device history information, and may be shared by devices such as the smart mirror 102, the smart mirror 104, and the mobile device 190. The usage history may be the storage and sharing of content that the user uses the smart mirror.

Fig. 4A to 4D are diagrams illustrating control and data flows of a motion information management system according to an exemplary embodiment. First, fig. 4A is a schematic diagram showing control and data flow between a server and the smart mirror # 1. When the user requests user authentication through the smart mirror #1, the server 150 may refer to or access the user information data stored in the server 150, and perform user authentication only for the authenticated user.

When the first body/muscle measurement information (i.e., information measuring the body shape/muscle of the user in the smart mirror #1) may be transmitted to the server 150, the server 150 may be configured to compare the first body/muscle measurement information transmitted from the smart mirror #1 with previous body shape/muscle measurement information of the same user and transmit the first body/muscle history information analyzing the difference to the smart mirror # 1. Specifically, the previous body conformation/muscle measurement information may be body conformation/muscle measurement information of the same user measured by another smart mirror.

The server 150 may be configured to: an exercise type or motion and schedule table is generated based on the first volume/muscle measurement information of the user measured by the smart mirror #1, and the generated exercise type or motion and schedule table is transmitted to the smart mirror # 1. The user can perform exercise according to the exercise prescription of the server 150, and the progress of the exercise of the user can be photographed by the camera of the smart mirror #1 or acquired by the input of the user and transmitted to the server 150. When the user's motion is terminated, the user temporarily terminates the use of the smart mirror #1 through the user interface, and the contents thereof may be transmitted to the server 150.

Fig. 4B is a schematic diagram showing control and data flow between the server and the smart mirror # 2. When the user moves to the location and requests user authentication through the smart mirror #2 installed elsewhere for exercise, the server 150 may refer to the user information data stored in the server 150 and perform user authentication only for the authenticated user.

The server 150 may be configured to send the motion prescription progress history information in the smart mirror #1 to the smart mirror # 2. When the user uses the smart mirror #1, the movement prescription progress history information in the smart mirror #1 may include a movement prescription, a movement schedule, and a movement progress history of the server 150. Based on the movement prescription progress history information transmitted from the server 150 to the smart mirror #2, the user can then perform a subsequent movement in the smart mirror #2 in association with the movement performed in the smart mirror # 1. The progress of the user's motion in the smart mirror #2 may be photographed by the camera of the smart mirror #2 or acquired by user input and transmitted to the server 150. When the user's motion is terminated, the user temporarily terminates the use of the smart mirror #2 through the user interface, and the contents thereof may be transmitted to the server 150.

Fig. 4C is a schematic diagram showing control and data flow between the server and the smart mirror # 3. When the user moves to another location and requests user authentication through the smart mirror #3 installed for movement at another location, the server 150 may refer to the user information data stored in the server 150 and perform user authentication only for the authenticated user.

The server 150 may be configured to send the motion prescription progress history information in the smart mirror #2 to the smart mirror # 3. When the user uses the smart mirror #2, the movement prescription progress history information in the smart mirror #2 may include a movement prescription, a movement schedule, and a movement progress history of the server 150. Based on the movement prescription progress history information transmitted from the server 150 to the smart mirror #3, the user can then perform a subsequent movement in the smart mirror #3 in association with the movement performed in the smart mirror # 2. The progress of the user's motion in the smart mirror #3 may be photographed by a camera of the smart mirror #3 or acquired by a user input and transmitted to the server 150.

When the body type/muscle measurement of the user is performed in the smart mirror #3, the smart mirror #3 may be configured to transmit the measured second body type/muscle measurement information to the server 150. The server 150 may be configured to compare the second body conformation/muscle measurement information transmitted from the smart mirror #3 with previous body conformation/muscle measurement information of the same user, and transmit the second body conformation/muscle measurement information analyzed for differences to the smart mirror # 3. Specifically, the previous body conformation/muscle measurement information may be body conformation/muscle measurement information of the same user measured by another smart mirror.

When the user's motion is terminated, the user finally terminates the use of the smart mirror #3 through the user interface, and the contents thereof may be transmitted to the server 150. Within a preset time after the temporary termination of the use of the smart mirror #3, when an authentication request from the same user does not occur in another smart mirror, it can be treated as a final termination in the smart mirror # 3.

Fig. 4D is a schematic diagram illustrating control and data flow between a server and a mobile device. When the user requests user authentication through the mobile device, the server 150 may refer to the user information data stored in the server 150 and perform user authentication only for the authenticated user.

The server 150 may be configured to send the athletic prescription progress history information from the most recently used smart mirror #3 to the mobile device. When the user uses the smart mirror #3, the movement prescription progress history information in the smart mirror #3 may include a movement prescription, a movement schedule, and a movement progress history of the server 150. Based on the motion prescription progress history information sent from the server 150 to the mobile device, the user may then perform a subsequent motion in the mobile device associated with the motion performed in the smart mirror # 3. The progress of the user's motion in the mobile device may be captured by the camera of the mobile device or captured by user input and sent to the server 150.

As shown in fig. 4A to 4D, the motion information management system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may allow at least one smart mirror and a mobile device to share and manage motion information of a single user.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, motion information of a single user appearing in a plurality of smart mirrors may be shared and managed by all of the plurality of smart mirrors.
