INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD, SYSTEM, AND TERMINAL APPARATUS
A method includes: acquiring first and second information indicating first and second exercises and first and second dates and times when a user did the first exercise and is to do the second exercise, respectively; acquiring, from the database, first and second support menus indicating a practice exercise to be performed after the first exercise, and a preparatory exercise to be performed before performing the second exercise, respectively; acquiring, from a sensor, third information indicating a fatigue level of the user measured at the first date and time; calculating first and second periods for respectively providing the first and second support menus to the user such that a total period of the first and second periods is equal to the period between the first and second dates and times; and providing the first and second support menus in the first and second periods, respectively, via a terminal of the user.
1 . An information providing method comprising:
acquiring, from a database, first information indicating a first exercise and a first date and time when a user carried out the first exercise, and second information indicating a second exercise and a second date and time when the user is scheduled to carry out the second exercise;
acquiring, from the database, a first support menu item based on the first exercise, the first support menu item indicating a practice exercise to be performed after the first exercise;
acquiring, from the database, a second support menu item based on the second exercise, the second support menu item indicating a preparatory exercise to be performed before performing the second exercise;
acquiring, from a sensor, third information indicating a fatigue level of the user measured at the first date and time, the fatigue level of the user being measured by measuring a balance of a sympathetic nerve and a parasympathetic nerve of the user;
based on the first date and time, the second date and time, and the fatigue level of the user, calculating a first period for providing the first support menu item to the user and a second period for providing the second support menu item to the user such that a total period of the first period and the second period is equal to a period between the first date and time and the second date and time;
providing the first support menu item in the first period via a terminal apparatus of the user; and
providing the second support menu item in the second period via the terminal apparatus of the user.
2 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , further comprising causing the terminal apparatus of the user to display a calendar image showing a schedule of the user, wherein
a first object indicating the first exercise is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the first date and time,
a second object indicating the second exercise is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the second date and time,
a third object indicating the first support menu item is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the first period, and
a fourth object indicating the second support menu item is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the second period.
3 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first period is calculated to be longer as the fatigue level of the user is higher.
4 . The information providing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying, on the terminal apparatus, a user interface for correcting a length of the first period and a length of the second period;
receiving, via the user interface, an instruction for causing the terminal apparatus to correct the length of the first period from a first length to a second length and to correct the length of the second period from a third length to a fourth length; and
causing the terminal apparatus to display an updated calendar image including the first period having the second length and the second period having the fourth length.
5 . The information providing method according to claim 4 , wherein,
in the user interface,
the first period is limited to be correctable to be at least a day, and
the second period is limited to be correctable to be at least a day.
6 . A system comprising a server apparatus and a terminal apparatus connected to each other via a network,
the server apparatus including:
a processor;
a memory; and
a communicator, wherein
the processor
acquires, from the memory, first information indicating a first exercise and a first date and time when a user carried out the first exercise, and second information indicating a second exercise and a second date and time when the user is scheduled to carry out the second exercise,
acquires, from the memory, a first support menu item based on the first exercise, the first support menu item indicating a practice exercise to be performed after the first exercise,
acquires, from the memory, a second support menu item based on the second exercise, the second support menu item indicating a preparatory exercise to be performed before performing the second exercise,
acquires, from a sensor, third information indicating a fatigue level of the user measured at the first date and time, the fatigue level of the user being measured by measuring a balance of a sympathetic nerve and a parasympathetic nerve of the user, and
using the first date and time, the second date and time, and the fatigue level of the user to calculate a first period for providing the first support menu item to the user and a second period for providing the second support menu item to the user such that a total period the first period and the second period is equal to a period between the first date and time and the second date and time, and
the communicator provides the first support menu item in the first period via a terminal apparatus of the user and provides the second support menu item in the second period via the terminal apparatus of the user.
7 . The system according to claim 6 , wherein
the first period is calculated to be longer as the fatigue level is higher.
8 . A terminal apparatus comprising:
a receiver that receives schedule information indicating a schedule of a user from a first date and time to a second date and time; and
a display that displays a calendar image presenting the schedule, wherein
the user carries out a first exercise at the first date and time,
the user is scheduled to carry out a second exercise at the second date and time,
a period between the first date and time and the second date and time includes a first period and a second period,
the first period indicates a period when a first support menu item indicating a practice exercise is to be performed after the first exercise,
the second period indicates a period when a second support menu item indicating a preparatory exercise is to be performed before performing the second exercise,
the first period and the second period are calculated based on the first date and time, the second date and time, and a fatigue level of the user measured by a sensor at the first date and time, the fatigue level of the user being measured by measuring a balance of a sympathetic nerve and a parasympathetic nerve of the user,
a first object indicating the first exercise is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the first date and time,
a second object indicating the second exercise is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the second date and time,
a third object indicating the first support menu item is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the first period, and
a fourth object indicating the second support menu item is included in a region of the calendar image associated with the second period.
9 . The terminal apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein
the first period is calculated to be longer as the fatigue level is higher.
