Exercise monitoring apparatus, system and controlling method thereof

Abstract

An exercise monitoring apparatus capable of allowing a user to conveniently check a progressed exercise state and capable of properly controlling an exercise amount, by comparing a progressed exercise amount measured based on scheduling information received from an external apparatus and acceleration information of the exercise monitoring apparatus, with a goal exercise amount, and by visually providing a comparison result, a system and an exercise monitoring method thereof. The exercise monitoring apparatus comprises a communication unit configured to receive exercise scheduling information from an external apparatus, a sensing unit configured to detect acceleration information of the exercise monitoring apparatus, a controller configured to measure a progressed exercise amount based on the acceleration information, to acquire a goal exercise amount from the exercise scheduling information, to compare the progressed exercise amount with the goal exercise amount, and to generate a notification message indicating a result of the comparison, and an output unit configured to output the notification message.
