EXERCISE SUPPORT SYSTEM, EXERCISE SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18362461 titled 'EXERCISE SUPPORT SYSTEM, EXERCISE SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a server system that monitors and supports a user's exercise routine. It includes a detection signal reception unit that receives signals related to the user's exercise, an exercise schedule reception unit that acquires the user's exercise schedule, and a message request transmission unit that sends a message request to another user before the scheduled exercise. The server also has a message reception unit that receives messages corresponding to the request, a determination unit that analyzes the exercise schedule and detection signals to determine if the user is exercising according to the schedule, and a message transmission unit that provides the user with a message when the determination unit confirms adherence to the schedule.

• The server system monitors a user's exercise routine and provides support.
• It receives signals related to the user's exercise and acquires the user's exercise schedule.
• It sends a message request to another user before the scheduled exercise.
• It receives messages corresponding to the request from the other user.
• It analyzes the exercise schedule and detection signals to determine if the user is exercising according to the schedule.
• It provides the user with a message when adherence to the exercise schedule is confirmed.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Fitness tracking and support systems for individuals or groups.
• Remote coaching and motivation for exercise routines.
• Integration with wearable devices and fitness apps.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Lack of accountability and motivation in sticking to an exercise routine.
• Difficulty in monitoring and tracking exercise progress.
• Limited access to real-time feedback and support during exercise.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved adherence to exercise schedules and goals.
• Enhanced motivation and accountability through message requests and feedback.
• Remote monitoring and support for individuals or groups.

Original Abstract Submitted

A server includes a detection signal reception unit that receives a detection signal related to a detection of an exercise of a user A, an exercise schedule reception unit that acquires an exercise schedule of the user A, and a message request transmission unit that transmits a message request to a UEN of a user N before the exercise schedule. The server further includes a message reception unit that receives a message corresponding to the message request from the UEN of the user N, a determination unit that determines whether or not the user A is exercising according to the exercise schedule based on the exercise schedule and the detection signal, and a mess age transmission unit that provides the user A with the message when the determination unit determines that the user A is exercising according to the exercise schedule.
