Training instrument and input device

A non-limiting example training instrument comprises a hollow main body formed of an aluminum alloy. The main body is constituted by two gripping portions opposite to each other with a space therebetween and a coupling portion coupling the two gripping portions. A load sensor is arranged in the coupling portion inside the main body. The load sensor is a load cell, a strain gauge affixed to an interior of the main body, and a part of the main body to which the strain gauge is affixed functions as a strain body. Therefore, if a user applies a force so as to bring the two gripping portions close to each other or a force so as to move the two gripping portions away from each other, a load thereof is detected by the load sensor.

Fitness equipment cruise control with power reserve
11351421 · 2022-06-07 · ·

A computer implemented system provides a cruise control function, during a fitness equipment-based workout, to report a power output amount based on a cruise control set-point. The system includes a piece of fitness equipment, a control device, and a computing device. The fitness equipment produces an output corresponding to actual power produced on the fitness equipment. The control device transmits an indication of power being produced to the computing device as an input to a fitness training game. In a first operational state, the indication represents the actual amount of power being produced via operation of the fitness equipment by the user, but in a second operational state, the numerical indication is a virtual power amount corresponding to a cruise control set-point amount established via the control device.

EXERCISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, SERVER SYSTEM, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND EXERCISE MANAGEMENT METHOD
20220168614 · 2022-06-02 ·

The exercise management system includes a storage device for storing user personal information; a processor including hardware for determining a resistance exercise content and an aerobic exercise content based on the user personal information; and a communication interface for acquiring motion information indicating motion of the user when exercise instructions are given based on the resistance exercise content, and vital information indicating vitals of the user when the exercise instructions are given based on the aerobic exercise content. Based on the motion information and the vital information, the processor performs a process of presenting performance result information of resistance exercise and aerobic exercise performed by the user on a user terminal device, or another terminal device.

ANALYSIS DEVICE BASED ON POWER CONSUMPTION INFORMATION ABOUT TREADMILL
20220163575 · 2022-05-26 ·

The present disclosure provides an analysis device based on power consumption information about a treadmill. The analysis device includes: a current sensor configured to sense, in real time, a change in instantaneous current generated in the treadmill due to a variation in a load of an electric motor in a case in which a belt of the treadmill is driven while repeating rotational motion at a predetermined speed and an object to be measured exercises while stepping the belt according to the predetermined speed; and a processor configured to determine a movement pattern of the object to be measured based on a value of the change in instantaneous current sensed by the current sensor. Thus, it is possible to monitor a health status of the object to be measured.

The controller selectively illuminates the indicator system to indicate a level of activity of the user.

EXERCISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, SERVER SYSTEM, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND EXERCISE MANAGEMENT METHOD
20220143464 · 2022-05-12 ·

The exercise management system includes a storage device for storing user personal information; a processor including hardware for performing a game process including a process of executing a first game associated with an exercise and a process of executing a second game not associated with the exercise; and a communication interface for acquiring detection information, which is a detection result of a user state when the user performs the exercise in the first game in response to an exercise instruction to the user. The processor performs a game process to execute the first game based on performance result information, which indicates a performance result of the exercise, sets a given rest period after the execution of the first game, and does not allow the execution of the first game and allows the execution of the second game during the rest period.

Collaborative exercise

A report of a state of a local exercise device based at least in part on a user response to an electromagnetic resistance unit in the local exercise device is sent. An update based on a state of a remote exercise device is received. The electromagnetic resistance unit is caused to change state in reaction to the received update.

Treadmill having attachment module

A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.

COLLABORATIVE EXERCISE

A report of a state of a local exercise device based at least in part on a user response to an electromagnetic resistance unit in the local exercise device is sent. An update based on a state of a remote exercise device is received. The electromagnetic resistance unit is caused to change state in reaction to the received update.

Timeline and media controller for exercise machine

A program is presented to a user including a stream of content including a first auditory content and a first visual content related to the workout. A context state of the user participating in the workout is determined based on information from a sensor. A responsive content is selectively added based on the context state of the user to the stream of content in a manner that avoids conflict with the stream of content.
