As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the counting system 100 of the present invention is used to count the number of jumps of the skipping rope, and includes an electronic device 10 and a skipping rope 20. The electronic device 10 is a portable mobile device, such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, and includes a processor 11 , a data storage unit 13 , a touch display interface 15 , and a communication unit 17 . The processor 11 is connected to the data storage unit 13, the touch display interface 15 and the communication unit 17, respectively. The data storage unit 13 stores a skipping motion counting application 12, which is presented on the touch display interface 15 when the skipping motion counting application 12 is turned on. The skipping motion counting application 12 is operated on the touch-sensitive display interface 15 to perform counting of the number of jumps and setting of the jumping target for the skipping motion.

The skipping rope 20 includes a cord body 21 and two grips 23. Both ends of the rope body 21 are respectively connected via a rotating shaft 22 to the corresponding grips 23. When the user performs the skipping movement, the rotating shaft 22 will follow the rotation of the rope body 21 and follow. As shown in FIG. 3 , the first controller 231 is connected to the first communication module 233 and the micro switch 235 . The first controller 231 is connected to the first communication module 233 and the micro switch 235 . The micro switch 235 is further connected to the rotating shaft 22. The electronic device 10 and the skipping rope 20 transmit signals to each other via a communication connection between the communication unit 17 and the first communication module 233.

Before the user performs the skipping exercise, first, the skipping motion counting application 12 of the electronic device 10 is executed, and a user interface 120 of the skipping motion counting application 12 is presented on the touch display interface 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the user interface 120 includes a start button 141, a reset button 142, and a jump number 143. The user starts the skipping movement, and the user or the other person can also click the start button 141 of the user interface 120 to start counting the number of jumps 143 of the user. When the user is performing the skipping movement, he will jump up and tilt the rope 21, and the shaft 22 will follow the rotation of the rope 21 and follow. When the rotating shaft 22 rotates once, the micro switch 235 connected to the rotating shaft 22 will be tapped once, and the first controller 231 detects that the micro switch 235 is tapped to generate the first signal 201 once. In the present invention, the first signal 201 is a signal for instructing the user to perform the jumping action, and the first signal 201 is transmitted to the electronic device 10 via the first communication module 233, and then the electronic device 10 receives the communication device 17 via the communication unit 17. The first signal 201.

Whenever the electronic device 10 receives the first signal 201, the skipping motion counting application 12 will increment the number of hops in the number of hops 143 by one. The skipping motion counting application 12 continues the process of incrementing the number of jumps 143 until the user stops the jump. When the user finishes the jump, the user interface 120 will display the number of jumps 143 accumulated by the user performing the skipping movement. Here, the user is assisted by the counting system 100 to count the number of jumps 143 so that the user can concentrate on the skipping movement. Moreover, when the user wants to recount the number of jumps 143, the reset button 142 of the user interface 120 can be clicked, and the number of jumps 143 will be reset to zero.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the skipping motion counting application 12 provides a target challenge mechanism for skipping movement, and the user can set a target time 144 and a target number 145 on the user interface 120. When the user performs a skipping motion, if the number of hops 143 completed within the target time 144 can exceed the target number 145, the skipping motion counting application 12 will generate a target challenge success message 161 and display it on the user interface 120. For example, the user sets the challenge time to 60 seconds in the target time 144, and sets the challenge number to 100 times in the target number 145. If the user skips 120 times in 60 seconds and has exceeded the number of challenges 100 times, then, The user interface 120 will display a "Congratulations for completing the goal" target challenge success signal 161, as shown in Figure 4; or, if the user only jumps 80 times in 60 seconds, it is less than 100 times the challenge number, Then, the user interface 120 will display a "failed, refueling" target challenge failure message 163, as shown in FIG. Thus, the present invention provides a target challenge mechanism to add fun to skipping.

The second controller 31 is set to have a starting height value 351. The starting height value 351 is a height value between the distance measuring device 30 and the ground measured by the ranging module 35 before the user jumps. When the user performs the skipping movement, the body jumps up, and the ranging module 35 will respectively measure an actual height value 353 in each jump action of the user. The second controller 31 calculates a height difference between the actual height value 353 and the initial height value 351 to obtain a jump height value 355, and transmits a second signal 301 including the jump height value 355 via the second communication module 33.
