The output unit 130 may be controlled to obtain exercise state information on the breathing motion determined based on the sensing data and to output the obtained exercise state information.

When user breathing is input through the suction unit 110 , the processor 140 may perform pre-processing of the user breathing sensing data acquired by the sensor 120 . Specifically, the processor 140 may remove data of a section unnecessary to determine the type of breathing movement in order to acquire only data of a section necessary to determine the type of breathing movement.

Also, the processor 140 may determine one of a plurality of respiratory motions based on a change in air pressure of the user's breathing determined based on the sensing data. Specifically, each of the plurality of breathing motions has a different air pressure change pattern. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the spirometry breathing exercise has an air pressure change pattern in which the inspiratory pressure increases and then slowly decreases, as shown in FIG. 6A, and the deep breathing exercise, as shown in FIG. It has an air pressure change pattern in which the expiratory pressure increases and then decreases, and the cough breathing motion may have an air pressure change pattern in which the expiratory pressure rapidly increases and then decreases, as shown in FIG. 6C. The processor 140 determines the air pressure change pattern most similar to the air pressure change of the user's breathing determined based on the sensing data among the air pressure change patterns shown in FIGS. It can be determined by breathing movements corresponding to breathing.

However, as described above, determining one of a plurality of respiratory motions by using a change in air pressure of the user's breathing is only one embodiment, and the respiratory motion corresponding to the user's breathing may be determined in various ways. For example, the processor 140 may determine a breathing motion corresponding to the user's breathing based on a user command input through the input unit 180, and the default breathing motion (eg, spirometry breathing motion) may be determined based on the user's breathing. It may be determined as an exercise, and the most recently used breathing exercise may be determined as a breathing exercise corresponding to the user's breathing.

The processor 140 may obtain exercise state information using sensing data of the user's respiration. In this case, the exercise state information may include respiratory maximum/minimum air pressure, respiratory duration, respiratory exercise score, respiratory exercise count, and the like.

Specifically, when the breathing motion corresponding to the user's breathing is the spirometry breathing motion, the processor 140 uses the sensing data 610 for the user's breathing, as shown in FIG. The duration T1 can be obtained. In addition, the processor 140 measures the respiratory maximum air pressure (Pa1) and respiratory duration (T1) obtained through the user's breathing sensing data 610 and the respiratory maximum air pressure (Pa2) obtained through the comparison data 620. And a breathing motion score may be obtained using the breathing duration (T2). For example, the processor 140 is obtained through the ratio of the respiratory maximum air pressure (Pa1) and the respiratory maximum air pressure (Pa2) obtained through the comparison data 620 obtained through the sensing data (610) and the sensing data (610) A respiratory motion score may be obtained using a ratio of the respiratory duration T1 and the respiratory duration T2 obtained through the comparison data 620 .

In addition, when the breathing exercise corresponding to the user's breathing is a deep breathing exercise, the processor 140 uses the sensing data 630 for the user's breathing, as shown in FIG. and expiration/inspiration durations (T3, T5) may be acquired. In addition, the processor 140 uses the comparison data 640 together with the breathing maximum/minimum air pressure (Pa3, Pa4) and the expiration/inspiratory duration (T3, T5) obtained through the sensing data 630 for the user's breathing. A respiratory motion score may be obtained using the obtained respiratory maximum/minimum air pressures (Pa5, Pa6) and expiration/inspiratory durations (T4, T6). For example, the ratio of the respiratory maximum air pressure (Pa3) obtained through the processor 140 sensing data 630 and the respiratory maximum air pressure (Pa5) obtained through the comparison data 640, the breathing obtained through the sensing data (630) The ratio of the minimum air pressure (Pa4) and the respiratory minimum air pressure (Pa6) obtained through the comparison data (640), the expiration duration (T3) obtained through the sensing data (630) and the expiration period obtained through the comparison data (640) A respiratory motion score may be obtained using the ratio of the duration T4 and the ratio of the inspiratory duration T5 obtained through the sensing data 630 and the inspiratory duration T6 obtained through the comparison data 640. can

In addition, when the breathing motion corresponding to the user's breathing is a cough breathing motion, the processor 140 uses the sensing data 650 for the user's breathing, as shown in FIG. Time T7 can be obtained. In addition, the processor 140 calculates the respiratory minimum air pressure (Pa7) and respiratory duration (T7) obtained through the sensing data 650 for the user's breathing and the minimum respiratory pressure (Pa8) obtained through the comparison data (660). And a breathing motion score may be obtained using the breathing duration (T8). For example, the maximum respiration air pressure (P7) obtained through the processor 140 sensing data 650 and the respiratory maximum air pressure (P8) obtained through the comparison data 660 and the respiration obtained through the sensing data (650) A respiratory motion score may be obtained using a ratio of the duration T7 and the respiratory duration T8 obtained through the comparison data 660 .

In addition, the processor 140 may obtain information about the number of breathing exercises per day. Specifically, each of the plurality of breathing exercises may be assigned an assigned number of exercises. The processor 140 may obtain a breathing exercise score based on the assigned number of exercises and the currently performed number of exercises. For example, if 10 spirometric breathing exercises are allocated per day and the user performs 3 spirometric breathing exercises, the processor 140 may obtain a respiratory exercise score of 3/10 = 0.3. In addition, the processor 140 may obtain a respiratory motion score using all of the maximum/minimum respiratory pressure, the duration of breathing, and the number of exercises.

The processor 140 may control the output unit 130 to output the acquired exercise state information. At this time, the exercise state information may be provided in various forms.

As one embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor 140 may provide information on user breathing and information on comparison data together in a graph form, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C . At this time, the user can directly check his recovery speed by comparing it with the comparison data measured before surgery.
