    Field of application:
    [0001] The present invention refers to the training or training methods of a fitness center and to a related multimedia platform through which users of the fitness center can be effectively trained and educated. In particular, the method and the system or platform of the present invention are intended to be used in fitness centers such as gyms, instruction or wellness centers, equipped areas of hotels or accommodation facilities, and the like, but also for training outdoor or at home.
    Known art
    [0002] Training methods are known for training members of gyms, training centers, wellness centers, or for guests of equipped areas available at hotels or accommodation facilities, which improve the service provided by an instructor or trainer through electronic multimedia devices to which users refer for training. These devices are for example installed at the gym and used on site by the gym members.
    [0003] However, there is a progressive decline in on-site participation, attributed to the limited time available to each user for training, especially during the working week, but also to the growing use of personal electronic devices, such as the I -pad, I-phone and the like, equipped with applications for independent training in multiple physical activities. It is increasingly common for people to train independently, referring to and relying on what the application of their electronic device makes available.
    [0004] Nevertheless, it is well known to the expert in the field and also to users, that the experience and professionalism of a personalized trainer is by no means substitutable by a generic application which, however customizable by the user or able to detect some physical values during training, such as the heartbeat, it is not at all sufficient to accurately control the exercise of the users, to adapt the training session to each person, considering in detail aspects such as posture, intervening on of it when not correct, for example showing everyone how to improve their movements and discussing on the spot how to optimize the performance, which can also require a personal knowledge and the character of the people involved.
    [0005] Some known training methods have attempted to overcome the problems outlined above by means of an IT platform that allows an instructor of a gym or fitness center to contact the people interested in their course, to carry out a preliminary interview with the users, to understand their needs, their athletic age, and to register for them. Through the IT platform it is also envisaged to support the development of the training, transmitting the image of the instructor to a remote site of the user or participant in the course.
    [0006] Although these methods make it possible to overcome some of the limitations described above, for example by bringing the training service home to the user, they are however extremely limited, mainly due to the fact that they do not allow the trainer to perform his most important function. , that is to say the real control of the activity performed by the user, the correction of errors, the adaptation of the intensity of the exercises according to each person, the profound knowledge of the students, also in emotional or character terms.
    [0007] Furthermore, none of the known methods is able to allow the trainer to monitor the activities that their students can perform independently from the gym, for example through independent outdoor training sessions, and then to adapt the subsequent training sessions in operation to the exercise already independently performed by the user.
    [0008] The detection of all these activities, and in particular the monitoring of the user's biometric and / or physiological parameters during the performance of the activities carried out through the gym or independently, would allow to optimize the athletic growth of the students but also to follow accurately the effect of physical activity on the body's health, for dietary, curative or maintenance purposes. The technical problem underlying the present invention is to devise a training method that truly breaks down the barriers of distance between the participants of a course and the trainer, allowing the latter to truly exercise all his functions as if he were present simultaneously. in every location where multiple users perform their physical activity, thus allowing them to be able to use the professional service of a fitness center from home or outside, but with considerable savings in terms of time and costs, thus overcoming all the limitations still affect the known training systems.
    Summary of the invention
    [0009] The basic idea of the present invention is to devise a method and a system for training one or more remote users in which training instructions are acquired locally in the place where a qualified instructor operates and are transmitted to remote users via the Internet, and in which the instructor receives from multiple remote devices associated to the users, a plurality of information regarding the effect that the training instructions produce on the exercised users, thus allowing the instructor to promptly monitor the progress of their lesson, and users to be able to benefit even without physically going to the gym.
    [0010] The basic idea of the present invention is also to install an application in the user's device, for example an application for smartphones, which is registered at the training center where the instructor operates, in particular at the totem. The application acquires the biometric and / or physiological data of the remote user when he / she carries out the activity exercised by the trainer through the totem but also when he / she carries out independent activity, for example outdoor, and transmits the data to the trainer ( totem).
    [0011] Advantageously, through the data received from the application installed on the user device, the trainer is able to adapt the training session for his / her students, for example setting a less intense exercise for those who have already played an autonomously own activity consuming lots of calories, consequently setting up a cool-down exercise, or intensifying the activity for those who had no time or time to train independently.
    [0012] Based on the above solution idea, the technical problem is solved by a training method comprising the steps of:install in an fitness center an electronic device or totem equipped with at least one audio and video acquisition interface, a biometric data acquisition interface and a visualization interface;providing a central data sorting device connected to the totem via the Internet and destined to be connected to multiple remote user devices, via the Internet;acquire training instructions from an instructor at the totem in the fitness center and send the instructions in audio-visual format to the remote devices via the central sorting device;display the instructions on the remote user devices and acquire the biometric data of the users during the training exercised by the instructions, and transmit, through the central sorting device, the biometric data to the totem;display the biometric data of each user on the totem interface, to allow the instructor to adapt the respective training.
    [0013] Still on the basis of the idea of solution described above, the technical problem is solved by an application installed on the user device, for example on a smartphone, configured to send biometric and / or physiological data to the totem. In particular, both data collected during a remote exercise guided by the trainer and data collected during an autonomous exercise can be sent. Advantageously, the application for user devices according to the present invention is not detached from the training center, like most known applications and already available for smartphones, but is associated with the training center, and in particular with the totem, and allows the trainer to intervene on the preparation of the user. The association of the application to the totem is carried out through a unique identifier, the so-called GYM ID by the requestor of the application. Basically the GYM ID is a code that associates the application on the user device to the training center and to the user. Through the GYM ID, the user application can communicate the data to the totem of the fitness center where the user is registered and vice versa. Communication is supported by the Internet, through any protocol available to the user device, for example ADSL, UMTS, GPRS, 3G, etc.
    [0014] The application of the user device can be configured to be interconnected to other remote servers, in order to communicate the biometric / physiological data deriving from physical activity, for example to the server of a health institution. It is known that in some countries, for example in Switzerland, a citizen can benefit from discounts on the payment of compulsory or voluntary insurance on the illness, in case he proves to be enrolled in a fitness center. It is also well known that the mere registration is not sufficient to guarantee the actual performance of the physical activity, and therefore the maintenance of the member in a good state of greeting.
    [0015] Advantageously, the transmission of the person's biometric / physiological data, possibly transcoded for reasons of privacy and / or reparameters according to personal data, such as age, health status, any physical limitations, but in any case associated with a level of effectiveness of physical activity on the body of the person, allows the health institution to apply the discounts provided only if they are deserved.
    [0016] Advantageously, the biometric / physiological data allow to carefully monitor the development of the training, its effect on the participants, as well as to moderate or increase the pace, based on the results obtained.
    [0017] According to an aspect of the invention, the totem stores at least one web page comprising multiple links or scripts, the display interface of the totem displays the web page, and the links or scripts can be selected by the instructor, to start a corresponding program of training.
    [0018] It is only worth noting that the term totem indicates a hardware integrated in a clearly visible structure of a certain size, suitable for providing simplified user interfaces. However, the term totem is not limiting in the present invention, and the training method can be supported by hardware of compact size and well below that of a totem, possibly of aesthetic value, connected to a touchscreen interface. Advantageously, access to the training method is simplified and substantially based on the provision in the totem of an Internet address at which to view the web page for selecting the training program. In other words, multiple training programs can be stored in a server, for example in the sorting center, and be recalled by multiple totems, in different gyms or fitness centers, by different instructors, at different times of the day.
    [0019] The web page also includes, for example, a subscription link to register a training class (IDC) at the central data sorting device and the subscription link is also accessible by remote user devices, for user registration ( IDU) to a training class (IDC) registered at the central device.
    [0020] Advantageously, the totem also allows users to be managed and the course subscription phases can be automated, without going to the gym or fitness center.
    [0021] In particular, remote user devices transmit to the totem also an audio and / or video of the user during training and the audiovisual content is reproduced on the display interface of the totem.
    [0022] According to this aspect of the invention, it is possible to observe in real time, at the totem, also the correct performance of physical activity, for example the postures and gestures of the user, or correct breathing, accompanying the images with adequate audio support.
    [0023] Preferably, the biometric / physiological data are processed at the central sorting device and are reproduced on the display interface of the totem in graphic form. The graphic representation facilitates the work of the instructor, who can immediately verify excesses of effort or lack of work in a user whose biometric / physiological data produce a different graph from other participants in the course or from a predetermined reference graph.
    [0024] According to another aspect of the present invention, the audio and video acquisition interface comprises at least one webcam integrated in the totem, preferably three webcams, and / or at least one camera connected to the totem in the fitness center, preferably two cameras, and the totem comprises means for adjusting a camera and / or camera's angle of grip.
    [0025] Advantageously, the presence of two video cameras makes it possible to reproduce the environment of the gym in a substantially three-dimensional form on the monitor of the remote user device, and therefore allow an optimal display of the poses adopted by the instructor and in general of his instructions.
    [0026] According to a further aspect of the invention, the acquisition of the user's biometric / physiological data is carried out by survey in a device applicable to the user's body, and by radio-frequency transmission of the data detected on the user's body to user remote device. For example, the device is a bracelet applied to the user's wrist.
    [0027] Preferably, the biometric / physiological data of a user are also displayed in the remote device of the respective user. This feature allows the remote user to view his performance and training effect locally on his device.
    [0028] The totem also acquires the biometric / physiological data of users who carry out training at the fitness center and who are equipped with a device for detecting biometric / physiological data within the radius of coverage of the totem. In this case, the transmission of biometric / physiological data is carried out locally, to the totem.
    [0029] According to another aspect of the invention, the owner has planned to associate a score to the training activities carried out, the score being associated for example with a number of calories consuming by the user and calories being determined according to the biometric data / physiological detected.
    [0030] According to preferred embodiments, the training method also envisages displaying pre-recorded videos on the totem or on the user's remote devices, thus allowing remote training even in the absence of an instructor, for example for its temporary removal.
    [0031] A cost can be associated with each training class that the user intends to participate in at the fitness center or remotely, and means of payment can be applied to the totem or made available in the fitness center to make the payment , said means being preferably based on NFC technology, online. Advantageously, the method according to the invention also automates the economic administration phase of the fitness center, relocating it to the services provided by the sorting center and extending it to convenient remote access for users.
    [0032] It is also foreseen to transmit advertising information on the display interface of the totem or on displays connected to the totem or on user devices, preferably palmtops, tablets, smartwatches of the users, connected via radio.
    [0033] According to a preferred variant embodiment of the present invention, the totem acquires audio-visual data of the fitness center and transmits them, through the central sorting device and the remote user device, to a virtual reality or augmented reality device user intended to be worn by the user to locally perceive the fitness center environment.
    [0034] With said devices of augmented reality, the sensory perception of the user during the course of the activity can be stimulated to increase the performance of the exercise or concentration, or simply to make the activity more pleasant.
    [0035] The technical problem described above is also solved by a training system comprising the following means:an electronic device or totem equipped with at least one audio and video acquisition interface, a biometric / physiological data acquisition interface and a visualization interface, intended to be installed in a fitness center;a central data sorting device connected to the totem via the Internet and intended to be connected to multiple remote user devices, via said Internet network.
    [0036] The totem and the sorting center are programmed to:acquire training instructions from an instructor at the totem in the fitness center and send the instructions in audio-visual format to the remote devices via the central sorting device;display the instructions on the remote user devices and acquire the biometric / physiological data of the users during the training exercised by the instructions, and transmit, via the central sorting device, the biometric / physiological data to the totem;display the biometric / physiological data of each user on the totem display interface, to allow the instructor to adapt the respective training.
    [0037] Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clear from an exemplary embodiment thereof, given only by way of non-limiting example with reference to the attached figures.

    Detailed description of the invention
    [0039] With reference to figures 1 - 7, a training system according to the present invention is schematically shown, intended to be used at a gym or a fitness center or a hotel and at remote locations with respect to said gym, fitness center and hotel.
    [0040] In particular, an electronic device or totem 1 is provided with at least one audio and video acquisition interface 2, a biometric / physiological data acquisition interface 3 and a display interface 4, and is installed in the fitness center. The term fitness center is not limiting in the following of the description and substantially includes all the places in charge of acquiring training instructions from an instructor. Similarly, the various interfaces 2–4 of the totem are indicated in different figures without limitation of the totem structure, which can for example incorporate in a single structure all the peripherals necessary for the acquisition of the audio and video to be transmitted and for the display of multiple information received from remote users, which allows the instructor to carry out the training itself, simulating a real participation of the participants.
    [0041] A central sorting device 20 is connected to the totem 1 via the Internet and is intended to be connected to multiple remote user devices 60, also connected via the Internet. The graphical representation in the figures is completely illustrative and non-limiting, as it is possible and supported a connection of the remote devices to the Internet in multiple modes, via ADSL cable, via GSM or UMTS radio or other communication protocols, as well as the connection of the totem or the data center (sorting center) to the network.
    [0042] The totem 1 and the sorting center 20 are programmed to acquire training instructions of an instructor 100 at the totem 1 in the fitness center (fig. 5) and send the instructions in audio-visual format to the remote devices 60 for the through said central sorting device 20.
    [0043] The remote users, represented in fig. 1 with 1..N display instructions on their remote devices 60 users and perform the exercises suggested by the instructor. During the course of the exercise, the remote devices acquire the biometric / physiological data of the users during the training exercised by the instructions of the trainer, and transmit, through the central sorting device 20, the biometric / physiological data to the totem 1.
    [0044] On the display interface 4 of the totem the biometric / physiological data of each user are displayed, to allow the instructor to adapt the respective training.
    [0045] The dashed lines in fig. 1 represent the data flow from the totem to the sorting center: the audio-visual data are acquired at the totem and transmitted to the sorting center; the latter performs a function of processing visual audio data and transmits them to users 1..N (non-dashed lines).
    [0046] The data center also performs the functions of support for communication with totems such as the domain controller function, EDGE Server, Front End server, and preferably also includes a database, a data archive and an application server. There is nothing to prevent multiple data centers, physical or virtual, from being used for the separation of storage or information processing, but what matters is that the totems of the gyms are relieved of the processing or management of communications with the users' remote devices. . As evident from fig. 1, the data center also provides access to a website for remote users, through which users can access the training session.
    [0047] The data flow from the data center to the totem continues with the return dotted line, which represents the sending of biometric / physiological data detected at the remote devices to the totem.
    [0048] In the upper pane of fig. 1 local (1..3) users are also represented, that is, participants in a training course taken directly in the fitness center, at the totem, as also shown in fig. 2 . Even local users can be equipped with their own devices 6 for the acquisition of biometric / physiological data.
    [0049] In this fig. 2 it is also schematized the sending of data acquired on-site by the totem to the data center, for example for the purpose of archiving, made available to other trainers in other gyms or for counting in fitness games, as explained in the following description. The purpose of collecting this information is not limited to the examples given but constitutes a very useful information field for the gym, which can also be used for therapeutic or treatment purposes, as shown in fig. 3 from sending data to a dietician, a doctor, a health insurance company or an insurance company, or for advertising purposes, as indicated in fig. 1 from the transmission of advertising information. In fact, the latter can be contextualised to a user's profile, such as the courses he is enrolled in or his services, making advertising more effective.
    [0050] Fig. 4 schematically represents an embodiment of the system of the present invention in which multiple totems are installed in different places of a receptive structure, for example in the customer reception room, in the TV room or in the massage room or in the weight room. Naturally, there are no limitations to the use of the system in a single accommodation structure, being also applicable, for example to multiple gyms located in different geographical locations.
    [0051] In fig. 6 is instead represented a data flow between the totem of a gym and the remote system of a user, in case the remote user wants to make use of the virtual reality visualization function. In this case, in the fitness center are installed cameras to capture the environment in which the training takes place, for the acquisition of audio and video of the instructor and / or participants. The audio and video are transmitted as already explained to the remote device and from this, via wireless interface, to a display device, for example to a mask or to a pair of glasses intended to be worn by the user during training. Advantageously, according to this embodiment variant, the remote user feels involved and effectively present in the performance of the training with his companions, this one! what also triggers competitiveness, distance socialization and comparative learning.
    [0052] In fig. 7 an on-line training phase is schematically represented by the system of the present invention. The totem is connected via the Internet to the remote user device, transmits images and / or videos and / or sounds to the remote user and receives images and / or videos and / or sounds from it.
    [0053] According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the remote device is portable, for example a smartphone, and is equipped with a mobile application that associates the user to the fitness center, through an identifier (GYM ID). The application transmits the user's biometric and physiological data to the totem, both when the user is in the gym and when he is at home and follows the training course, and when he performs an independent exercise, thus allowing his instructor to always monitor the user's biometric and / or physiological parameters, such as the calories consumed, the level of glucose, etc.
    [0054] The above with reference to the trainer of a gym is similarly applicable to a doctor or dietician, who can receive data from the user's application and check whether the physical activity performed is commensurate with the patient's needs or objective of slimming that it has been agreed to achieve, always within the limits of safety or the tolerability of the activity carried out by the user.
    [0055] According to another aspect of the present invention, the user device is a smart TV connected to the Internet. The application according to the present invention associated with the identifier (GYM ID) of the user, is incorporated in the smart TV, and receives and transmits the data from the totem of the gym, allowing to carry out the training comfortably at home.
    [0056] The communication between the totem and the user device, be it a smartphone, a smart TV or a desktop or portable computer, can be streamed. This communication technique is preferable if the training course is enrolled by a large number of participants and therefore requires the transmission of data and / or video and / or images from the totem to multiple remote user devices.
    [0057] In the following some advantages and characteristics of the method and of the system according to the present invention are further emphasized.
    [0058] According to the method of the present invention, the totem sends video signals to the data center (sorting center) and the data center, preferably via three separate servers and the Internet, processes and sends signals to customers (users), overcoming the limitations of training methods already known, both in terms of practicality and costs for the gym or training center.
    [0059] In fact, the known methods require a control study (or broadcast study) of the video signals received by the cameras, at the gym, to transmit the visual audio information to remote users, which complicates the necessary management structure in loco, increasing costs. Instead, the method of the present invention alleviates this problem by delegating data processing to a data center (sorting center) that can be used by multiple gyms or fitness centers, the latter being thus relieved of the cost of the hardware and / or software structure of implementation of multimedia training.
    [0060] Furthermore, advantageously, the management and sending of the audio / video signals directly via the Internet, without passing through the on-site studio broadcast, considerably reduces the latency, ie the time interval between the execution of a movement, for example by the instructor, and the display of the movement on the screen remote from the user, or vice versa.
    [0061] Even the costs of starting up the remote training service, the costs of its management or maintenance, and the space required on site, at the gym, are considerably reduced. In fact, the totem is interfaced directly via the Internet with the data center web platform, and takes up only the space needed for lessons, for example 12m2, constituting a direct profit machine for the gym, at low cost.
    [0062] Advantageously, a multimedia and live streaming system of audio-video signals between an N number of users in remote locations and the totem in the gym is realized with the method of the invention. The totem control is provided by direct interaction between the instructor or the training applicants or with the help of remote control instruments, such as motion sensors and / or voice checks.
    [0063] Remote users are provided with a webcam and Internet connection. The movements and the voice of the teacher are transmitted via Internet in live streaming to remote users, who can repeat the movements of the teacher, re-transmitting audio-video and optionally physical monitoring parameters related to their own activity; biometric detection devices are used, so that the data collected are made available on the teacher's screen, allowing careful monitoring of the training and the achievement of the goals set for the training session.
    [0064] The method of the invention therefore provides a remote and "onsite" monitoring system, i.e. located within the center, consisting of an acquisition device, bluetooth and / or ant + and / or wifi transmission means and / o LAN and Internet, from a reception database and a processing data center, from a software and / or application and display website.
    [0065] In a variant embodiment of the invention, the data acquisition and retransmission device via the Internet is a "smartwatch", a heart rate monitor or any other device equipped with a wireless transmission protocol for monitoring biometric / physiological data , such as heart rate, calories burned, power, RPM, breath, glucose, lactate, etc. The same parameters acquired on the user are transmitted to the fitness center and shown on the display for direct monitoring of the teacher and, optionally, of other users.
    [0066] Each fitness center has the possibility of having its own database and directly managing all the activities of the users, using its own unique evaluation system of the activities performed, and at the same time guaranteeing the privacy of its users.
    [0067] The method, depending on the discipline exercised in the course, also manages stages of acquisition of reward points, team challenges, single or against one's own teachers, bets with other users with possible points win, triggering a virtuous circle that increases the motivation of the participants, their enjoyment or satisfaction, with the achievement of possible discounts and / or gifts and / or promotions on complementary services and facilities provided by the gym.
    [0068] It is also envisaged that the totem will be connected to the wifi network of the center and to the biometric monitoring device worn by the user on site, and will transmit the data of all the activities carried out inside the gym, including an eventual swimming pool , and aggregate the data in your database or in the data center.
    [0069] The totem can also transmit, through the acquisition of audio-video through 360 ° cameras or through a multiple system of cameras installed inside the gym, to virtual reality display devices, intended to be worn by users remotely during the exercise.
    [0070] In a preferred embodiment variant, the display device reproduces, in addition to the video and / or audio signals received from the gym, the biometric monitoring data of the user.
    [0071] Advantageously, the data transmitted to the database can be used by other personal trainers and instructors of other sections of the gym, with a simple access via the website, to adapt a workout after the monitored one (or the opposite).
    [0072] The method also supports the phase of transmitting onsite or streaming videos prepared by the teachers and archived in a specific folder on the hard disk of the totem or data center, called totem or data center or being equipped with relative players. It is expected that the transmission of the films will be carried out after a given date of the gym, for example through a "superuser" of the totem, and / or a payment via NFC or through another payment system.
    [0073] The method supports other accessory functions such as the reception and transmission of advertising messages on the totem screen or on the devices of remote users, upon acceptance by the user.
    [0074] Furthermore, through the 360 ° cameras, it is possible to reconstruct the gym environment and transmit it to the virtual reality display device.
    [0075] In the event that the totem is used by the user directly in the fitness center, the customer can select a link that leads to a page of choice of the exercise (workout) that the user intends to carry out. Once the choice is made, the customer accesses the payment or authentication page. In the first case (access to the payment page), the user makes the payment, for example through a mobile device with NFC or credit card. In the second case (authentication), the user makes the payment inside the fitness center or in online mode, and receives a username and a password for authentication to the totem.
    [0076] After access, the totem displays the pre-recorded video and connects the site to the biometric detection device of the user, and shows the video and the data detected simultaneously on the display.
    [0077] The data collected is transmitted to the database which, in addition to the assignment of the normal points, performs a comparison with reference parameters established by the instructor, and if the performance meets the established requirements, assigns further points. This functionality resides in the space assigned to the gym in the data center, and can be used by remote user devices, for example by those who do not own a webcam or are interested in partial training, perhaps for time limits. In the first case all the monitoring and classification functions are active; in the second case they are disabled for classification purposes.
