Abstract
Proposed is an exercise support device operating with a weight training equipment. The exercise support device can extract an exercise object exercising on the weight training equipment connected presently to the exercise support device from a video captured by a camera module by analyzing the skeleton data of candidate objects. Through this, when the multiple candidate objects are detected in an exercise video, a user exercising on the weight training equipment which presently operates with the exercise support device can be accurately specified by using an exercise type and the skeleton data of the candidate objects.
