With reference to FIG. 1, a healthy motion environment managing apparatus includes an intelligent equipment 11, an environment adjusting equipment 12, a fitness equipment 13 and an environment parameter collection equipment 14. The environment adjusting equipment 12, the fitness equipment 13 and the environment parameter collecting equipment 14 communicates to the intelligent equipment 11 by a wired or wireless manner.

(7) The environment adjusting equipment 12 includes a temperature controlling equipment (like air condition), an air purification equipment and a humidity controlling equipment (such as humidifier), etc., The environment parameter collecting equipment 14 includes temperature sensors, humidity sensors, particle concentration (such as PM2.5) sensors etc. The environment parameter collecting equipment 14 sends the collected environment parameters to the intelligent equipment 11 or environment adjusting equipment 12.

(8) The fitness equipment 13 can be one of a treadmill, an exercise cycle, a racing car, an elliptical car, a stationary bike, a row machine and strength a training machine etc. In the invention, the intelligent equipment 11 is wearable intelligent equipment, such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a smart chest belt, and a smart phones etc. The wearable intelligent equipment is easy to wear. During training the user usually wears intelligent equipment 11 (such as smart bracelets) which can monitor the training time, the calories and so on. In the invention, the intelligent equipment 11 obtains the environment and fitness equipment parameters collected by the environment parameter collecting equipment 14, and then adjusts the parameters of the environment adjusting equipment 12 and/or the fitness equipment 13, so as to change the current motion environment and make the user exercise in the optimum motion environment. It is well known that the parameters of the fitness equipment 13 are important to the user and incorrect parameter setting often causes sport injury to the user. Thus, in this invention, it is not only adjusting the parameters of the environment adjusting equipment 12 but also adjusting the parameters of the fitness equipment 13. Accordingly, the parameters of the optimum motion environment include parameters of the environment adjusting equipment 12 and parameters of the fitness equipment 13.

(9) With reference to FIG. 2, the wearable intelligent equipment of the invention includes an input unit 21, a memory unit 22, a processing unit 23, a communication unit 24 and a display unit 25. A healthy motion environment managing software (APP) can be installed in the intelligent equipment, and realize the unified environment management by using the App.

(10) Specifically speaking, the communication unit 24 communicates with the environment adjusting equipment, the fitness equipment and the environment parameter collecting equipment via WIFI. Bluetooth or other wireless manner. There is not physical visible line connection with the intelligent equipment, so the intelligent equipment has little effect for wearing. The fitness equipment and environment parameter collecting equipment send parameters of the equipment and environment to the intelligent equipment. The input unit 21 inputs the user's personal information or the equipment's set parameters, the input unit 21 can be a button, touch screen or voice inputting device etc., such as the user can input their personal information when the APP pops up an input interface. The display unit 25 displays the current environment parameters and/or motion information, such as displaying the current temperature, the humidity and the motion time and so on. The display unit 25 can be a LCD. The memory unit 22 records corresponding relation of the user's personal information and the optimum motion environment. The memory unit 22 can be one of RAM and EEPROM etc. Generally speaking, different users are respectively suitable for different optimum motion environments. Take normal healthy user as example, the appropriate motion temperature is about 20 C. for person under age 45 years old, but the appropriate motion temperature is about 25 C. for person over age 45 years old. Lower temperature is not appropriate for elders' exercising. Another example, the requirement of environmental air cleanliness level (such as PM2.5) for people with respiratory diseases is higher than that for normal healthy user. Thus, the invention creates a corresponding relation of the user's personal information and the optimum motion environment, and records the corresponding relation in the memory unit 22. The processing unit 23 obtains the corresponding relation from the memory unit 22, and adjusts the parameters of the environment adjusting equipment based on the obtained parameters of the fitness equipment, the parameters of the environment and the corresponding relation. Thus, the user gets the optimum motion environment by changing current motion environment.

(11) Specifically speaking, the memory unit 22 records the corresponding relation of the user's personal information and the parameters of the optimum motion environment in a table form. The processing unit 23 searches the parameters of the corresponding optimum motion environment based on the personal information input in the input unit 21. After the parameters of the optimum motion environment were found, the parameters are displayed to the user by the display unit 25 and wait for the user's confirmation to use or not. After the user confirmed, the processing unit 23 sends the cited parameters to the environment adjusting equipment through the communication unit 24. The environment adjusting equipment compares the received value of the environmental parameter with the current environmental parameter which is obtained from the environment parameter collecting equipment. The equipment begins to adjust the corresponding environment to make current motion environment to approach the optimum motion environment when the differences of value of the environment parameters and the current environment parameters are greater than the set threshold. Also the environment parameter collecting equipment can send the current value of the environment parameter to the intelligent equipment, and then the intelligent equipment compares received value of the current parameter with the value of searched optimum environment parameter. If the difference of above two parameters is greater than the set threshold, the intelligent equipment sends start instruction to correspond environment adjusting equipment by the communication unit 24. After receiving the start instruction, the environment adjusting equipment starts to adjust the corresponding environment. After the current environment achieved the optimum motion environment, the intelligent equipment sends stop instruction and the equipment stops running. Of course, the user can input the value of the parameter of the environment adjusting equipment by the input unit 21 directly. The processing unit 23 sends the received parameter to the environment adjusting equipment, the environment adjusting equipment adjusts current environment according to the value of parameter input by the user.

(12) Following is a further description with a specific embodiment. In the embodiment, the wearable intelligent equipment is a smart watch. In the motion environment, the temperature adjust equipment is an air condition, the air particles are adjusted by air purifier, and the fitness equipment are treadmill. The treadmill, the air condition, the air purifier, the temperature sensor and the air particles concentration sensor all have Bluetooth communication interfaces, and the smart watch sets connection with the treadmill, the air condition, the air purifier, the temperature sensor and the air particles concentration sensor through Bluetooth. The memory unit 22 of the intelligent equipment stores corresponding relation of the user's personal information and the optimum motion environment, with reference to table 1.

(14) The user starts the smart watch before workout and opens the motion managing APP in the smart watch, and then user inputs user's personal information (such as age, height, weight or the type of disease etc.) through the LCD touch screen of the watch. If a healthy user inputs his age is 50 years old by the input unit 21, the processing unit 23 obtains the optimum environment temperature is 26 C. by searching the table 1. If the user inputs 30 years old, the found temperature of optimum environment is 20 C. If the user is unhealthy, such as the user suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the user is 30 years old, the obtained temperature of optimum environment is 20 C. For the healthy people, the value of PM2.5 is under 75 g, but for the user who suffering from respiratory disease requires PM2.5 below 25 g. Accordingly, based on the personal information input by the user, the optimum motion environment parameters can be obtained from corresponding relation through searching table 1. After searching the optimum motion environment parameters, the parameters are displayed to the user by the display unit 25 and wait for the users confirmation of using the environment parameters or not. After the user confirmed, the processing unit 23 sends the parameters to the corresponding environment adjusting equipment by the communication unit 24. Such like that when a 30 years old user confirmed that the temperature is 22 C. of the environment parameters, the smart watch send the parameter of 22 C. to the air condition as the value of the set temperature. When the user confirmed the value of PM2.5 is under 25 g, the intelligent equipment will send it to the air purifier.

(15) The environment adjusting equipment compares the values of the received environmental parameters and values of the current environment obtained from the environment parameter collecting equipment, if the differences of these values are greater than the set threshold, the equipment will start and adjust corresponding environment to make current motion environment to be the optimum motion environment. When the air condition received that the value of setting temperature is 22 C., the air condition obtains the current value of temperature by temperature sensor, such as the current temperature is 30 C., the set threshold is 3 C., the difference between the value of set temperature and current temperature is greater than the set threshold, which is |3022|=83, and the air condition starts the cooling mode to reach the optimum environment temperature of 22 C. When the air purifier received the value of setting particles concentration under 25 g, the air purifier obtains the current particles concentration by the particles concentration sensor, such as 55 g, and the set threshold is 10 g, the difference between value of the setting and current PM2.5 is greater than the set threshold, the air purifier starts to make the particles concentration to be reduced under 25 g. This adjustment can take full function of the existing air condition, purifier, without additional temperature sensor, particle concentration sensor.

(16) The environment parameter collecting equipment also can send the value of current environment parameter to the smart watch, and the smart watch compares the received value of current environmental parameter with the found value of optimum environment parameter, if the difference is greater than the set threshold, the intelligent equipment send start instruction to the corresponding environment adjusting equipment by the communication unit 24 to adjust corresponding environment. For example, the processing unit 23 obtains the optimum environment temperature is 22 C., the current temperature is 30 C., set threshold is 3 C., the difference of set value and current temperature is greater than the set threshold, which is |322|=83, and then the processing unit 23 sends start instruction to the air condition, after received the instruction the air condition start, when the temperature reaches 22 C., the processing unit 21 sends stop instruction, and the air condition stops running. The procedure of adjusting PM2.5 is similar with the temperature adjustment. Reference to temperature adjustment, the procedure of particles concentration adjustment can be understood by those skilled in this field, so it will not be repeated. In the invention, the adjustment realizes centralism control through that the intelligent equipment unified controls each environment controlling equipment to start/stop.

(17) Of course, the above table does not cover all possible users. Users have very widely requirement for the environment. For instance, if the user heats more after period of training or professional athletes are not satisfied with the optimum environment which is obtained by searching the table, the user can modify the optimum environment parameters through the input unit 21. For example, the user can input the set temperature as 26 C. through the input unit 21, and then the processing unit 23 sends it to the air condition after received the parameter, the air condition will control the temperature of environment to maintain at 26 C. It can satisfy the requirements of different users through manual modifying.

(18) Further, the intelligent equipment can obtain equipment parameters of the fitness equipment through the communication unit 24, the equipment parameters include that whether the equipment is being used or not now and current set value of the parameter etc. The memory unit 22 pre-stores the corresponding relation of the user's personal information and the optimum equipment parameters. The processing unit 23 searches corresponding optimum equipment parameters based on the personal information that input through the input unit 21. When the optimum equipment parameters are found, the parameters are displayed to the user who need to confirm that the parameters can be used or not through the display unit 25. After the user's confirmation, the processing unit 23 will send the parameters to the corresponding fitness equipment through the communication unit 24. The fitness equipment compares the value of received parameter with the value of current equipment parameter, if the value of current equipment parameter is out of the value of the optimum equipment parameter, it will do corresponding adjustment to make the current equipment parameter be the optimum parameter.

(19) Following is a further description with a specific embodiment. In the below embodiment, the wearable intelligent equipment is a smart watch. In the motion environment, the environment parameters are equipment parameters of the fitness equipment. The fitness equipment is a treadmill, and rotating and slope of the treadmill will be adjusted according to the requirement. The smart watch sets up the connection with the treadmill through the communication unit via Bluetooth. The memory unit 22 of the intelligent equipment records the table form of corresponding relation between the user's personal information and the optimum equipment parameters, such as table 2.

(20) TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 User's information Treadmill parameters age height weight Rotating speed Slope healthy 3-10 50-120 cm 15-40 kg 0-2 KM/H 0-5 degree 10-45 120-180 cm 40-90 kg 2-10 KM/H 5-10 degree >45 >180 cm 90 kg 0-2 KM/H 0-5 degree Knee 3-10 50-120 cm 15-40 kg 0-1 KM/H 0 degree joint 10-45 120-180 cm 40-90 kg 0-1 KM/H 0 degree disease >45 >180 cm >90 kg 0-1 KM/H 0 degree Lumbar 3-10 50-120 cm 15-40 kg 0-1 KM/H 0 degree disease 10-45 120-180 cm 40-90 kg 0-1.5 KM/H 0 degree >45 >180 cm >90 kg 0-1.5 KM/H 0 degree

(21) Before starting workout, the user opens the smart watch, starts the motion managing APP in the smart watch and inputs the personal information such as age, height, weight, disease and so on through the LCD touch screen of the smart watch. When a healthy user inputs his/her age as 50 years old through the input unit 21, the processing unit 23 will obtain the optimum parameters of the treadmill which is rotating speed 0-2 KM/H and slope 0-5. If the user is 30 years old, the found optimum parameters are rotating speed 2-10 KM/H and slope 5-10. If the 30-year-old user is suffering from a knee joint disease, the found optimum parameters are rotating speed 0-1 KM/H and slope 0. Based on the personal information inputting by the user, the optimum equipment parameters corresponding to the user can be obtained by searching table2. When the optimum equipment parameters are found, the parameters are displayed to the user who need to confirm that the parameters can be used or not through the display unit 25. After the user's confirmation, the processing unit 23 will send the parameters to the treadmill through the communication unit 24. The fitness equipment compares the value of received parameter with the value of current equipment parameter, if the value of current equipment parameter is out of the value of the optimum equipment parameter, it will do corresponding adjustment to make the current equipment parameter be the optimum parameter. For instance, when the treadmill received that parameters are rotating speed 2-10 KM/H and slope 5-10, and the set parameters of the treadmill are rotating speed 1 KM/H and slope 6, since the current set rotating speed is out of the range of the optimum parameter, the treadmill will change the set rotating speed to 2 KM which is in the range of the optimum parameter. It is similar with the temperature adjustment, and it is also can adjust the equipment parameter by inputting user's set value directly through the input unit 21. The fitness equipment will adjust the current parameters based on the obtained equipment parameters which are input by the user from the intelligent equipment, and make them equal with the value which is set by the user. The procedure can be understood as well as the manual setting temperature, so it will not repeat here.

(22) The above is a detailed description of environmental managing system of the present invention. From the above description it can be found that the wearable intelligent equipment is a core in the environmental managing system of the present invention. The user wears the corresponding intelligent equipment when he/she workouts, and parameters of environment controlling equipment (environment parameters) and fitness equipment are adjusted through the intelligent equipment to make the motion environment to reach the optimum one. This adjustment can be done according to the user's personal information, make each user to obtain the appropriate motion environment corresponding to himself/herself and avoid the blindness of the adjustment. The user can complete environmental adjustment through inputting environment parameters into the intelligent during their training, such as through voice inputting and touch screen inputting. Thus, the users do not need to interrupt their training and be away the fitness equipments to adjust the environment equipments one by one. The procedure of adjustment is simple, fast and improves the user's experience greatly.
