  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • As we know, dumbbells are the simplest and most convenient exercise accessory equipment with a simple structural design for weight training. The dumbbells not only have the mobility and convenience for an easy access, but also have the advantage of being used freely without too much limitation on its using environment and space. However, users can determine the time, the exercise frequency and the exercise amount on their own by estimating their muscular endurance during the use of the dumbbells, since the dumbbells comes with a simple design without any support of accessories. In other words, the users cannot control the expected exercise and training effect based on a self-evaluation fitness training method, and the dumbbells provide a pure weight training only, and users have no way to know about the exercise effect (such as the calorie consumption) of their exercise.
  • Of course, some manufacturers have integrated a counter, timer, or electronic audio/video device into a plurality of dumbbell products, in hope of letting users know about their exercise frequency and time, or operating these dumbbells together with a sound effect to improve the fun and the user's willingness of the exercise. However, such accessories are used to inform the users about the basic exercise parameters and improve the recreational effect only. For weight training, these dumbbells still cannot provide scientific and practical exercise data to users.

  • In addition, the present invention further comprises a micro electronic gyroscope for detecting the exercise status of the dumbbell and the spatial status of the dumbbell to let the users know about different using methods (such as stretching and lifting a user
    Figure US20130090212A1-20130411-P00001
    s arm horizontally forward or stretching and lifting the arms on both lateral sides of the user

    s body) to achieve different calorie consumptions, and the users can select the best using method to achieve the expected exercise effect.
  • According to the invention, a dumbbell structure capable of delivering exercise information and status, comprises one or more electronic devices installed on the dumbbell for transmitting related parameter information exercise information and status to a computer (such as PC or NB) or a personal smart mobile device (such as PAD and PDA) with corresponding software, and the computer or personal smart mobile device displays data of the total amount of exercise (including frequency and calorie consumption).

Wherein, the electronic device 20 comprises:
      • a weight information transmitting sensor 21 (which is an IC sensor), installed onto each weight 11, for showing the weight of a specific weight 11;
      • a weight information receiving sensor 22 (which is an IC reader), installed at a sheathing end 12 of the weight, for sensing and reading weight information of each weight 11 installed to the sheathing end 12, and transmitting the information to an information integration and computation unit 25;
      • a G-sensor 23, for sensing of an exercising distance, a frequency and time of the dumbbell 10, and transmitting all of the information to the information integration and computation unit 25;
      • a power supply unit 24, for supplying an electric power required by the electronic device 20;
      • an information integration and computation unit 25, for converting the weight information obtained from the weight information receiving sensor 22 and related exercise parameters such as the exercising distance and time sensed by the G-sensor 23 into an “exercise power” by using built-in software, and the exercise power is converted into a calorie value, and this is just a basic physical formula, and thus will not be described here); and
