For example, actuator can be adjustedThe difficulty level of the exercise that joint carries out on exercise device. On exercise device 110, comprise motorThe speed that can optionally rotate movable member 112 of actuator regulate. Establish in exerciseOn standby 130, comprise that the actuator of brake can be optionally to putting on movable member 132The resistance rotatablely moving regulate. Actuator can also regulate the speed of fan or regulates and forgeOther operating parameters that other movable members on refining equipment are associated.
Exercise device 110 and exercise device 130 comprise respectively framework 114 and framework 134. According to thisInvention, framework can be to exercise device give support structure and/or stability exercise device appointWhat part. Framework 114 and framework 134 are also respectively supporting structure 116 and supporting structure 136 providesSupport. For example, the framework 114 of exercise device 110 is included as vertical that supporting structure 116 provides supportPost member 118a and 118b. The framework 134 of exercise device 130 is included as supporting structure 136 and providesThe arm member 138 supporting.
According to the present invention, supporting structure can comprise external computing device can be in the above by optionallyBe fixed to any structure of exercise device. Supporting structure can be optionally solid in multiple different modeDetermine external computing device. For example, external computing device can be by gravity connector by optionally solidFixed to supporting structure (as the situation in exercise device 110). Particularly, supporting structure 116 comprisesCan optionally place flat backboard 120 and the lip portion 122 of external computing device 150 in the above.Flat backboard 120 and lip portion 122 can be directed to make gravity that external computing device 150 is protectedBe held on exercise device 110.
External computing device can by frictional force connector be optionally fixed to supporting structure (asSituation in exercise device 130). Particularly, supporting structure 136 comprises external computing device 150Remain on flat backboard 140 and the bracket 142 of appropriate position. Flat backboard 140 and bracket 142 are passableBe directed to make frictional force that external computing device 150 is remained on exercise device 130.
The most conventional exercise device comprises console. Console on exercise device can comprise that user connectsMouth and electronic installation. User interface can comprise one or more user's input control device and one orMore display screens. User's input control device can be for inputing to forging by control command and other dataIn refining equipment. Particularly, user's input control device can for select want training course plan,Change the difficulty level of selected training course or other data are inputed in exercise device. WithFamily input control device can comprise one or more button, dial, knob, switch or otherInput mechanism.
Display screen can show the data relevant to carried out exercise. For example, graph outline can showGo out the distance section of each difficulty level or training course. Display screen can also provide by user and existThe first person view in the path of advancing during the process of his or her exercise plan.

Fig. 3 shows can be for using external computing device as the user on exercise deviceThe flow chart of the step of implementing in the method 300 of interface. In first step 302, console is connectMouth Bootload calculates and establishes to the outside that comprises one or more user's input control device and display screenStandby upper. Software can be loaded on external computing device in multiple different mode. For example, canDownload software or can be from memory device (as disk or memory stick) from website via internetCarry software. Once software is loaded in external computing device, in second step 304, just can openMoving software.
Next, between external computing device and exercise device, set up communication linkage. This communication linkageCan be wired link as shown in step 306 or the wireless link as shown in step 308.The in the situation that of wired connection, electric wire can be inserted into leading on external computing device and exercise deviceIn letter jockey. To discuss in more detail setting up wireless connections in conjunction with Fig. 4 below.
In step 310, exercise device can be arranged on to " locking " position, this stops to take exercise establishesFor setting up communication linkage with other external computing devices. For example, exercise device can comprise processor,This processor has the processor of making can identify when be connected (wired or wireless) with external computing deviceControl data. Once detect and being connected of external computing device, exercise device just can be refusedFrom trials other external computing devices, for connecting with exercise device.
Next, in step 312, data can be sent to external computing device from exercise device.These data can comprise about the information of type of exercise device that is connected to external computing device. ExampleAs, exercise device can will self identification be treadmill, exercise bicycle, elliptical machine or other classesThe data of the exercise device of type are sent to external computing device. The data that send can also comprise exerciseThe actuator that equipment is included and the type of movable member. In addition, exercise device can identify withThe scope that each operating parameter that exercise device comprises is associated. For example, the data that send are passableComprise the rate limit of the conveyer belt motor on treadmill. This information can be essential, outside makingPortion's computing equipment can be controlled as the actuator of the part of exercise device and make the operating parameter canTo be selectively adjusted within the acceptable range.
In step 314, also external computing device can be fixed to exercise device. Step 314Can realize at any time point place during method 300. For example, external computing device is fixed toThe foundation of exercise device in can startup software and step 306 or step 308 in step 304 is logicalBefore letter link. In order to use external computing device as the user interface on exercise device, methodThe following step of sequence in 300, that identify in method 300 is optional.
Once exercise device is connected to external computing device communicatedly, calculates and establish at step 316 peripheralStandby upper user's input control device just can be for one or more on exercise device optionallyIndividual actuator regulates. In addition, in step 318, can be at the display screen of external computing deviceThe data that upper demonstration is relevant to the exercise of carrying out on exercise device.
Existence can be by exercise device wireless link the various ways to external computing device. Fig. 4 showsGo out the flow chart of the step that can implement in the method for the step 308 for realizing Fig. 3. SpecificallyGround, method 308 is provided for the step to external computing device by exercise device wireless link. ?In one step 402, by the external computing device with radio communication jockey bring into also have wirelessIn the wireless range of the exercise device of communication link.
Can establish at external computing device and exercise from the pairing request of exercise device by broadcastBetween standby, create link (as shown in step 404). Such as, can be by exercise device by joiningRequest is input in user input device on exercise device and broadcast pairing request. For example, (figureShown in 1) wireless connections input mechanism 126 can be used to broadcast pairing request by user.In step 406, external computing device can be by inputting the user at external computing device place reallyRecognize with exercise device and be connected.
In one embodiment, in the limited time quantum after pairing request is broadcasted, forPairing, the exercise device of broadcast connection request can be (as shown in the step 405) of opening. ExampleAs, the five seconds after pairing request is broadcasted, exercise device can open to calculate and establish with outsideStandby pairing. If confirm not connect in five seconds, exercise device can be back to step 404And can be not attached to external computing device, until broadcasted new pairing request by exercise device andAnd confirm at external computing device place the pairing request that this is new in acceptable time quantum.
Also can calculate and establish in outside from the general pairing request of external computing device by broadcastBetween standby and exercise device, create and link (as shown in step 408).
