Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related known technology may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 1, the smart stopwatch system using sound wave communication according to the present invention may include a smart stopwatch 100 and a terminal 200.

1, the smart stopwatch 100 includes an input unit 110, an input data recognition unit 120, a timer unit 130, a frequency information generation unit 140, a sound wave output unit 150, and a body information measurement unit ( 160, the transmission database 180.

The input unit 110 is a device to which input data including at least one of at least one exercise information and a start and end of exercise is input. Here, the exercise information may be exercise information such as yoga, hula hoop, running, and swimming. The input unit 110 may include at least one button unit 111 operated by an external push or contact and a data generation unit 112 generating input data according to the push or contact input to the button unit 111. have.

For example, when the button unit 111 is provided with an exercise start button and an exercise setting button, when the exercise is set as a hula hoop by the exercise setting button, and the exercise start button is operated by an external push or contact, the data generator 112 generates input data of 'yoga, exercise start'.

The input data recognition unit 120 is a device that recognizes specific information corresponding to the input data input to the input unit 110. The input data recognition unit 120 may recognize the input data according to the time and the number of times of push or contact of the button unit 111. For example, if the exercise start button is pressed once, the exercise time is recognized as an increase of 1 minute, and if the exercise start button is continuously pressed, it is recognized as the automatic increase of the exercise time. In addition, when the input setting button and the exercise start button is pressed at the same time, it is recognized as an initialization. On the other hand, input data recognition according to the push or connection of the button 111 is not limited to the above example, it is a function that can be changed or additionally set by the user.

The timer unit 130 is a device that operates the notification timer corresponding to the end time information when the end time information of the exercise is included in the specific information. For example, if the exercise end time of 'exercise time 33 minutes' is specified through the exercise setting button provided in the button unit 111, the time information at which the exercise ends through the input data recognition unit 120 is recognized. . Therefore, the timer unit 130 counts the recognized end time of exercise 33 minutes. In addition, the timer unit 130 displays the recognized exercise end time so that the user can check the time.

The frequency information generation unit 140 generates specific frequency information corresponding to the recognized specific information. The specific frequency information generated by the frequency information generating unit will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The frequency information generating unit 140 includes exercise frequency information meaning valid exercise information, valid data frequency information, checksum frequency information for verifying valid data, separator frequency information for distinguishing valid data information and checksum information, and the same adjacent to each other. Specific frequency information is generated by combining each frequency information corresponding to the valid data classification frequency information for distinguishing valid data information.

2, from 1 to 0 are valid data frequency information. D is valid data classification frequency information for distinguishing adjacent valid data information. H, J, K, and L are exercise frequency information corresponding to each exercise. # Is a separator frequency information for distinguishing valid data information and checksum information. B is frequency information indicating the end of input data.

Figure 2 is an embodiment when the data 33 minutes yoga exercise is input. Accordingly, exercise frequency information 'H' corresponding to yoga and valid data frequency information '3' and '3' corresponding to 33 are generated. Also, valid data division frequency information '11' for distinguishing adjacent data such as '33' is inserted in the middle of the valid data. Checksum frequency information '1' and '7' are generated to verify valid data. The checksum frequency information is the sum of all valid data. 2, valid data '3' and valid data classification frequency information '11'. Valid data '3' is added to '17' is the checksum frequency information. In addition, a separator frequency information '#' is generated to distinguish valid data information and checksum information. Finally, an end frequency 'B' is generated which means the end of the frequency information.

In the example of FIG. 2, the frequency information generation unit 140 generates frequency information of 'H 3 D 3 # 1 7 B'. Accordingly, if H is set to 10000Hz, 3 to 10300Hz, D to 11000Hz, 1 to 10100HZ, 7 to 10700Hz, # 1 to 12000Hz, and B to 19000Hz, each set frequency information is generated. That is, 10000Hz, 10300Hz, 11000Hz, 10300Hz, 12000Hz, 10100HZ, 10700Hz, 19000Hz are sequentially connected and generated. On the other hand, each frequency information is not limited to the above example, it is a matter that can be arbitrarily set by the user. In addition, in the present invention, it is preferable that a user uses an audible frequency region in order to recognize a notification by hearing.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, the sound wave output unit 150 is a device that outputs a sound wave signal including specific frequency information to the outside immediately after the notification timer ends. As an example, when the alarm timer is designated as '33' minutes, immediately after 33 minutes have elapsed since the start of the exercise, sound wave outputs specific frequency information generated by the frequency information generating unit 140 to the outside. Thus, when the generated frequency as shown in the example of Figure 2 10000Hz, 10300Hz, 11000Hz, 10300Hz, 12000Hz, 10100HZ, 10700Hz, 19000Hz, the sound wave output unit 150 is continuously connected to the generated frequency output sound wave for a predetermined time . For example, when the preset time is 150ms, each frequency is outputted by 150ms. Meanwhile, the sound wave output unit 150 outputs one wave of input data to distinguish input data, and then has a silent time of a predetermined time.

In addition, the sound wave output unit 150 may transmit each generated frequency information at the same time. To this end, it has different frequency domains according to the characteristics of the frequency information. For example, the exercise frequency is specified in the range of 10000 Hz to 11000 Hz, the first valid data frequency is set at 1110 Hz to 12000 HZ, the second valid data frequency is set at 12100 Hz to 1300 Hz, and the third valid data frequency is set at 13100 Hz to 1400 Hz. As an example, the data classification frequency is designated as an area of 15000 Hz, the checksum frequency is 16100 Hz to 17000 Hz, the separator frequency is 18000 Hz, and the end frequency is 19000 Hz.

Meanwhile, the first valid data frequency refers to the first digit of valid data, and the second valid data frequency refers to the second digit of valid data. The third valid data frequency refers to the third digit of valid data. For example, when the valid data is 35, the first valid data frequency is '3' and the second valid data frequency is '5'. On the other hand, the number of effective data frequencies may be specified by the user, and is not limited to the above example.

In addition, each frequency domain is partitioned into preset frequency units. In the case of exercise frequency, the frequency range of 10000Hz to 11000Hz is used.If the preset frequency unit is 100Hz, 11100 is yoga, 11200 is running, 11300 is hulauf, and 11400 has different frequency information according to exercise type. .

In the case of the first valid data, from 11100 Hz to 12000 Hz, 11100 Hz 1, 11200 Hz 2, 11300 Hz 3, 11400 Hz 4, 11500 Hz 5, 11600 Hz 6, 11700 Hz 7, 11800 Hz 8, 11900 Hz 9, 12000 Hz can be set to zero. The second valid data is used from 12100 Hz to 13000 Hz, 12100 Hz 1, 12200 Hz 2, 12300 Hz 3, 12400 Hz 4, 12500 Hz 5, 12600 Hz 6, 12700 Hz 7, 12800 Hz 8, 12900 Hz 9, 13000 Hz may be set to zero.

Also, the checksum frequency uses frequencies from 16100 Hz to 17000 Hz, 16100 Hz 1, 16200 Hz 2, 16300 Hz 3, 16400 Hz 4, 16500 Hz 5, 16600 Hz 6, 16700 Hz 7, 16800 Hz 8, 16900 Hz 9, 12000 Hz can be set to zero.

As such, since each frequency uses a different frequency domain, even if the frequency information is output at the same time, the terminal does not have a problem in recognizing data.

In the above example, when the valid data of 'Yoga 23' is output as a sound wave, the frequency information generating unit 140 corresponds to the frequency 11100 Hz corresponding to the yoga, the frequency 11200 Hz corresponding to the first valid data '2', and the second validity. A frequency 12300Hz corresponding to the data '3', a checksum frequency 16500Hz corresponding to the checksum '5', a separator frequency 18000Hz, and an end frequency 19000Hz are generated. The sound wave output unit 150 simultaneously outputs the generated frequencies 11100 Hz, 11200 Hz, 12300 Hz, 16500 Hz, 18000 Hz, and 19000 Hz. On the other hand, when the transmission time is specified as 150ms, frequency information of 11100Hz, 11200Hz, 12300Hz, 16500Hz, 18000Hz, and 19000Hz is simultaneously output as sound waves for 150ms.

When the frequencies of 11100 Hz, 11200 Hz, 12300 Hz, 16500 Hz, 18000 Hz, and 19000 Hz are sequentially, 900 ms of sound output time is required, while parallel sonic output only requires 150 ms of sound output time. Therefore, using the sound wave output method in parallel has the effect of improving the transmission speed of the effective data.

The body information measuring unit 160 is a device capable of measuring information of a body contacted through at least one electrode plate. The frequency information generation unit 140 generates body frequency information corresponding to the measured body information. The sound wave output unit 150 outputs sound wave generated body frequency information to the outside. On the other hand, the body frequency information generated in the frequency information generation unit 140 is the same as the method for generating the specific frequency information described above.

The transmission database 180 includes a transmission frequency table in which frequencies are regularly arranged and a transmission data table in which transmission data arranged so as to correspond to each frequency is regularly arranged. In the transmission frequency table, motion frequency information, valid data frequency information, checksum frequency information, valid data classification frequency information, separator frequency information, and end frequency frequency values are designated. In the transmission data table, data corresponding to each frequency information is designated. For example, if the first valid data is set from 11100 Hz to 12000 Hz in the transmission frequency table, 11100 Hz is 1, 11200 Hz is 2, 11300 Hz is 3, 11400 Hz is 4, 11500 Hz is 5, 11600 Hz is 6, 11700 Hz is 7, 11800 Hz is 8, 11900 Hz is 9, 11200 Hz can be mapped to 0 and stored.

For example, when the sound wave signal received by the sound wave receiver 210 is 10000Hz, 10300Hz, 11000Hz, 10300Hz, 12000Hz, 10100HZ, 10700Hz, 19000Hz, the frequency information included in the received sound wave is recognized.

The data identification unit 230 identifies specific information corresponding to the recognized specific frequency information. If the frequency information recognized by the frequency recognition unit 220 is 10000Hz, 10300Hz, 11000Hz, 10300Hz, 12000Hz, 10100HZ, 10700Hz, 19000Hz, data corresponding to each frequency information is recognized. To this end, the data identifier 230 may include a database table for data recognition. For example, 10000Hz is 'Yoga', 10300Hz is '3', 11000Hz is 'Identical Data Classification', 12000Hz is 'Delimiter', 10100HZ is '1', 10700Hz, '7', 19000Hz is 'End' If it is stored as, the data identification unit 230 identifies the information 33 minutes yoga.

The exercise amount measuring unit 240 is a device measuring an exercise amount corresponding to the identified specific information. For example, when the information identified by the data identification unit 230 is 'yoga 33 minutes', when the yoga is 33 minutes, the amount of exercise such as calories consumed is measured.

The storage unit 260 is a device for recording and storing the exercise amount measured by the exercise amount measuring unit 240. The storage unit 260 stores the exercise date, time, type, exercise amount, and the like, and the user can look at the record information stored in the storage unit 260.

The reception database 270 includes a reception frequency table in which frequencies are arranged regularly and a reception data table in which reception data arranged to correspond to each frequency is regularly arranged.

The reception frequency table is assigned the same value as the transmission frequency table, and the reception data table is assigned the same value as the transmission data table. Accordingly, the frequency recognition unit 220 extracts specific frequency information by matching the received frequency information with the reception frequency table, and the data identification unit 230 maps the extracted specific frequency information with the reception data table to extract specific valid data. do.
