Abstract

An electronic device and a method for activity information are provided. The electronic device includes a sensor configured to collect sensing information according to a motion of the electronic device, and at least one processor operatively connected with the sensor. The at least one processor is configured to control for obtaining activity information including at least one of an exercise amount that is calculated based on first sensing information obtained according to execution of a specified workout, and a movement amount that is calculated based on second sensing information obtained according to a daily life, determining an expected value of an activity amount, by which a user works out, during a specific time period by a user based on the activity information, and providing guide information for achieving an activity goal associated with the user based on at least one of the expected value of the activity amount and the activity information.

Claims (57)

1. A portable electronic device comprising:

determining an expected value of an activity amount, by which the user works out, during a specific time period by the user based on the activity information,

determining a probability of achievement with respect to an activity goal associated with the user based on the expected value of the activity amount,

providing guide information for achieving the activity goal associated with the user based on at least one of the expected value of the activity amount or the activity information, and

providing a feedback on the activity information based on the expected value of the activity amount, the feedback including one of a visual or audio effect,

wherein the guide information indicates a recommendation to maintain a current activity when the probability of achievement is greater than or equal to a threshold,

wherein the guide information indicates a recommendation to perform another activity having an intensity higher than an intensity of the current activity when the probability of achievement is less than the threshold,

wherein when the probability of achievement is greater than or equal to the threshold, an activity guide screen including a recommended activity displaying object is output, and

wherein the recommended activity displaying object includes information of a kind of activity, an activity amount per time according to each activity, and a recommended activity time.

2. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control for analyzing an activity pattern of the user based on the activity information.

3. The portable electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control for determining the expected value of the activity amount based on the activity pattern.

4. The portable electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control for providing a notification on the probability of achievement.

5. The portable electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control for providing information about the activity pattern together when the notification on the probability of achievement is provided.

6. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control for providing the feedback by using a visual effect corresponding to at least one of the activity goal, the activity information, or the expected value of the activity amount.

7. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the guide information further comprises guide information about a second activity different from a first activity associated with the activity goal.

8. The portable electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the guide information about the second activity comprises at least one of a kind of the second activity, an activity amount per time of the second activity, a recommended activity time of the second activity, recommended activity intensity of the second activity, or an execution schedule of the second activity.

9. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control for providing the guide information to an external electronic device connected through a communication interface.

10. A method comprising:

collecting sensing information, the sensing information including information according to a motion of a portable electronic device and biometric information of a user;

obtaining activity information comprising at least one of an exercise amount that is calculated based on first sensing information obtained according to execution of a specified workout, or a movement amount that is calculated based on second sensing information obtained according to a daily life;

determining an expected value of an activity amount, by which the user works out, during a specific time period by a user, based on the activity information;

determining a probability of achievement with respect to an activity goal associated with the user based on the expected value of the activity amount;

providing guide information for achieving the activity goal associated with the user based on at least one of the expected value of the activity amount or the activity information; and

providing a feedback on the activity information based on the expected value of the activity amount, the feedback comprising one of a visual or audio effect,

wherein the guide information indicates a recommendation to maintain a current activity when the probability of achievement is greater than or equal to a threshold,

wherein the guide information indicates a recommendation to perform another activity having an intensity higher than an intensity of the current activity when the probability of achievement is less than the threshold,

wherein when the probability of achievement is greater than or equal to the threshold, an activity guide screen including a recommended activity displaying object is output, and

wherein the recommended activity displaying object includes information of a kind of activity, an activity amount per time according to each activity, and a recommended activity time.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

analyzing an activity pattern of the user based on the activity information.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the determining of the expected value of the activity amount comprises:

determining the expected value of the activity amount based on the activity pattern.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

providing a notification on the probability of achievement.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the providing of the notification further comprises:

providing information about the activity pattern.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the providing of the guide information further comprises:

providing guide information about a second activity different from a first activity associated with the activity goal.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the providing of the guide information about the second activity comprises:

providing at least one of a kind of the second activity, an activity amount per time of the second activity, a recommended activity time of the second activity, recommended activity intensity of the second activity, or an execution schedule of the second activity.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the providing of the guide information further comprises:

providing the guide information to an external electronic device connected through a communication interface.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon at least one program comprising commands which, when executed by at least one processor, performs a method, the method comprising:
