BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to fitness equipment and more particularly to fitness equipment equipped with a wireless sensor pack that detects motion of an exercise machine and transmits the detected motion information to a portable electronic device of a user.
2. Description of the Related Art
Modem fitness machines, or exercise machines, including treadmills, steppers, stationary bicycles, and the like are often electronically controlled to vary their resistance levels. Sensors or detection circuitries have been coupled to exercise machine to provide to the user with a display of workout information on a control panel of the exercise machine once the user has completed the workout. The workout information, such as distance run, weight lifted, calories expended, etc., may be useful in determining further workouts or tracking a user's progress. However, such valuable information is merely stored in the exercise machine and if the user wants to keep the information, the user may need to record it manually, such as in a paper notebook, which is quite inconvenient. Moreover, communication between the control panel and the sensors or detection circuitries are typically enabled in a wired fashion, such as by way of a cable or other type of physical connection, which leads the exercise machine to a bulky and costly construction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an objective of the present invention to provide fitness equipment, in a compact and cost-effectively way, to provide a user with a display of workout information, In particular, the fitness equipment is equipped with a wireless sensor pack, which is easy to be assembled thereon, to directly interact with a portable electronic device of a user.
Specifically, the fitness equipment generally includes an exercise machine and the wir&ess sensor pack. The exercise machine has a movable member constructed for movement by the user thereby to exercise on the exercise machine. The wireless sensor pack is mounted on the movable member of the exercise machine and includes a sensor module and a wireless module. The sensor module is provided for detection of motion of the movable member of the exercise machine. The wireless module is associated with the sensor module iii such a way that upon receiving detected motion information from the sensor module, the wireless module transmits the detected motion information to the portable electronic device of the user. In this manner, the user can easily check out the motion information via a display on the portable electronic device and the motion information is recorded in the memory of the portable electronic device for further workout programs.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of fitness equipment according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the fitness equipment, showing that a wireless sensor pack is mounted to a movable member of an exercise machine of the fitness equipment; FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the fitness equipment, from another angle; FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the wireless sensor pack of the fitness equipment interactive with a portable electronic device; FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the wireless sensor pack; and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of fitness equipment according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-5, fitness equipment 100, capable of interacting with a portable electronic device 2 of a user, is provided in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the fitness equipment 100 is a stationaty upright exercise bike and generally includes an exercise machine 1 and a wireless sensor pack 3. The portable electronic device 2 is a wireless device, such as a smart phone, a notebook or a laptop.
The exercise machine I has a movable member 11, such as a crank and/or pedals, which is constructed for movement by the user thereby to exercise on the exercise machine 1. The wireless sensor pack 3 is mounted on the movable member 11 of the exercise machine 1. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wireless sensor pack 3 is simply bolt-fastened to the movable member 11 of the exercise machine 1, and therefore the wireless sensor pack 3 is easy to be assembled or disassembled, and the fitness equipment 100 is easy to be manufactured.
As shown in FIG. 4, the wireless sensor pack 3 includes a sensor module 3 1 and a wireless module 32. The sensor module 31 is configured for detection of motion of the movable member II, such as rotation of the crank 11, during a workout. The wireless module 32 is associated with the sensor module 31 and may be Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or infrared wireless communication module, for example. Upon receiving the detected motion information from the sensor module 3 1, the wireless module 32 transnñts the detected motion information to a display unit 21 of the portable electronic device 2 of the user. Accordingly, the user can check out the motion information from his or her portable electronic device 2. Unlike a prior art exercise equipment where an extra control panel or console is equipped on a handle bar of the exercise machine to provide a display of workout information, the motion information of the present invention is sent directly from the wireless sensor pack 3 to the portable electronic device 2 of the user. Moreover, the portable electronic device 2 of the user may be placed on a bracket 12 of the exercise machine 1, as shown in FIG. 1 to replace the conventional control panel or console (not shown). This makes the fitness equipment 100 relatively compact and more cost-effective.
Specifically, the sensor module 31 of the wireless sensor pack 3, as shown in FIG. 4, includes a sensing element 3 11 and a processing unit 312.
The sensing element 311 transforms tile detection of motion, such as rotation of the crank 11, into an electric signal. The processing unit 312 transcodes the signal received from the sensing element 311 and transfers the transcoded signal to the wireless module 32. Various types of sensing element 3 11 may be used in the exercise machine 1. However, to provide a better performance, the sensing element 311 may vary depending upon which type of exercise machine is nsed. In the case where the exercise machine I is an exercise bike, such as an upright exercise bike, a race exercise bike or a recumbent exercise bike, the sensing element 311 may be selected from the group consisting of a rolling ball sensor, a magnetic sensor, a mercury sensor, an optically coupled sensor and a gravity sensor.
However, in other cases where the exercise machine 1 is a treadmill, and the sensing element 311 of the wireless sensor pack 3 is preferably selected from the group consisting of a magnetic sensor and an optically coupled sensor.
In this way, the sensing element 311 can produce the best motion capture for further analysis.
On the other hand, the wireless module 32 includes a receiving unit 321 and a transmitting unit 322. The receiving unit 321 of the wireless module 32 is electrically connected to the processing unit 312 of the sensor module 31 and receives the transcoded signal from the processing unit 312.
The transmitting unit 322 is electrically connected to the receiving unit 321 and transmits the transcoded signal to the portable electronic device 2.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a storage battery 33 and a charger socket 34 may be included in the wireless sensor pack 3. The storage battery 33 is electrically coupled to the sensor module 3 1 to power the same. The charger socket 34, such as a USB port, is electrically coupled to the storage battery 33. As such, a USB charger cable (not shown) may be inserted ill the USB port 34 in order to transfer power from mains electricity to the storage battery 33.
With reference to FIG. 6, an item of fitness equipment 200 is provided according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The fitness equipment 200 of the second embodiment is substantially identical to that of the first embodiment, except that the exercise machine of FIG. is replaced with an elliptical fitness cross trainer Ia and the movable meniber Ii of FIG. I is replaced with a freewheel 1 Ia correspondingly. The elliptical fitness cross trainer Ia is often considered to be a cross between a treadmill and a stationary bicycle; a user is able to stand on the machine and pump two pedals, which simulate walking or jogging without any impact on the joints. Many elliptical machines have adjustable pedals to change the stride length for different users.
In particular, the wireless sensor pack 3a of the second embodiment is detachably touch-fastened to the freewheel 11 a of the elliptical fitness cross trainer Ia for detection of rotational speed of the freewheel 1 la.
Alternatively, in other example, the wireless sensor pack 3a may be attached to the pedals to detect the stride frequency of the user.
It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are illustrative in nature and the invention is not to be limited to any one or more embodiments except as set forth in the following claims.
