Abstract

An electronic device and a method for providing information thereof are provided. In an embodiment, the electronic device is configured to receive a user input for selecting an exercise through a user interface or a wireless communication circuit, select a guide image corresponding to the selected exercise, analyze the selected guide image, acquire a first image of a user through at least one camera at a first location, determine a second location for the electronic device based at least in part on the analyzed guide image and the acquired first image of the user, control at least one driver to move the electronic device based at least in part on the determined second location, acquire a second image of the user through the at least one camera after a movement of the electronic device, and generate a combined image by combining the selected guide image and the acquired second image of the user.

Claims (71)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a user interface;

at least one camera disposed on the housing;

at least one driver connected to or disposed on the housing to move the housing;

a wireless communication circuit located within the housing;

a memory; and

a processor operatively connected to the user interface, the at least one camera, the at least one driver, the wireless communication circuit, and the memory,

wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:

receive a user input for selecting an exercise through the user interface or the wireless communication circuit,

select a guide image corresponding to the selected exercise,

analyze the selected guide image,

acquire a first image of a user through the at least one camera at a first location,

determine a second location for the electronic device, based at least in part on the analyzed guide image and the acquired first image of the user,

control the at least one driver to move the electronic device, based at least in part on the determined second location,

acquire a second image of the user through the at least one camera after a movement of the electronic device, and

generate a combined image by combining the selected guide image and the acquired second image of the user.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the memory is configured to pre-store an exercise list including at least one exercise and at least one guide image corresponding to each of the at least one exercise, or

wherein the instructions further configure the processor to download at least one of the exercise list or the at least one guide image from an external electronic device via the wireless communication circuit.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to display the combined image on the user interface or transmit the combined image to an external electronic device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

acquire posture information of the user by analyzing the first image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device further based at least in part on relative location information set by the user and the acquired posture information of the user.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

extract target posture information embedded into the selected guide image,

acquire posture information of the user by analyzing the first image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device further based at least in part on the extracted target posture information and the acquired posture information of the user.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

determine target posture information by analyzing the selected guide image,

acquire posture information of the user by analyzing the first image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device further based at least in part on the determined target posture information and the acquired posture information of the user.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

determine a distance between the user and the electronic device, based at least in part on an occupation ratio of the user in the second image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device, based at least in part on the determined distance.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second location for the electronic device is expressed by at least one of an azimuth, an angle of altitude, or a distance from a location of the user.

9. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a user interface;

at least one camera disposed on the housing;

at least one driver connected to or disposed on the housing to move the housing;

a wireless communication circuit located within the housing;

a memory; and

a processor operatively connected to the user interface, the at least one camera, the at least one driver, the wireless communication circuit, and the memory,

wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:

acquire a first image of a user through the at least one camera at a first location,

identify an exercise by analyzing the acquired first image,

select a guide image corresponding to the identified exercise,

determine a second location for the electronic device, based at least in part on the selected guide image and the acquired first image,

control the at least one driver to move the electronic device, based at least in part on the determined second location,

acquire a second image of the user through the at least one camera after a movement of the electronic device, and

generate a combined image by combining the selected guide image and the acquired second image of the user.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 ,

wherein the memory is configured to pre-store an exercise list including at least one exercise and at least one guide image corresponding to each of the at least one exercise, or

wherein the instructions further configure the processor to download at least one of the exercise list or the at least one guide image from an external electronic device via the wireless communication circuit.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to display the combined image on the user interface or transmit the combined image to an external electronic device.

12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

acquire posture information of the user by analyzing the first image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device further based at least in part on relative location information set by the user and the acquired posture information of the user.

13. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

determine target posture information by analyzing the selected guide image,

acquire posture information of the user by analyzing the first image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device further based at least in part on the determined target posture information and the acquired posture information of the user.

14. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

extract target posture information embedded into the selected guide image,

acquire posture information of the user by analyzing the first image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device further based at least in part on the extracted target posture information and the acquired posture information of the user.

15. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to:

determine a distance between the user and the electronic device, based at least in part on an occupation ratio of the user in the second image, and

determine the second location for the electronic device, based at least in part on the determined distance.

16. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the second location for the electronic device is expressed by at least one of an azimuth, an angle of altitude, or a distance from a location of the user.
