Referring to fig. 4, a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the control method of the fitness equipment of the present invention is shown. The order of the steps in the flow chart may be changed, and some steps may be omitted or combined according to different requirements.

In step S200, the first wireless communication component 90 receives the motion menu.

In this embodiment, the motion menu may be from the mobile device 40 or the server 50.

The motion menu may include at least one of a motion speed, a motion intensity, and a motion duration.

In one embodiment, the exercise apparatus 30 is a treadmill, the exercise speed may refer to a track rotation speed of the exercise apparatus 30, the exercise intensity may be a running grade of the user while the track runs, and the exercise duration may be a running duration set for the user at the exercise apparatus 30. In another embodiment, the exercise machine 30 is an exercise bike, and the exercise intensity may be the resistance of the wheels of the exercise machine 30.

For example, the motion menu is from the mobile device 40. The mobile device 40 communicates with the wearable device 60 to obtain physiological information of the user. The mobile device 40 sends the acquired physiological information to the server 50, and the motion menu generating module 35 generates a motion menu according to the received physiological information. The second wireless communication component 92 sends the motion menu to the mobile device 40. The mobile device 40, in turn, communicates with the first wireless communication component 90 of the exercise apparatus 30 to enable the exercise menu to be sent to the exercise apparatus 30.

For example, the motion menu is from the server 50. The exercise apparatus 30 can directly communicate with the wearable device 60 through the first wireless communication component 90 to obtain the physiological information of the user. The first wireless communication component 90 sends the acquired physiological information to the server 50, and the motion menu generating module 35 generates a motion menu according to the received physiological information. The second wireless communication component 92 sends the exercise menu to the first wireless communication component 90, so that the exercise machine 30 can set an exercise program according to the received exercise menu.

In an embodiment, the wearable device 60 may be one or more of a smart band, a smart watch, a smart garment, a smart shoe, and other wearable electronic devices. The wearable device 60 includes at least one sensor, such as a gravity sensor or a gyroscope sensor (not shown), for detecting a sleep state and/or a movement state of the user and generating a sleep record and/or a movement record of the user.

The physiological information is a sleep record and/or an exercise record of the user. The sleep record may include at least one of a sleep duration, a sleep quality, and a heartbeat frequency of the user. The sleep quality can be obtained by analyzing the historical sleep record, if the sleep duration of the user in the last few days is greater than a preset value, the sleep quality of the user is considered to be good, otherwise, the sleep quality is considered to be poor. The sleep duration may be calculated from the sleep state of the user. The sleep state may be a shallow sleep state or a deep sleep state. For example, when the user is sleeping and the wearable device senses that the user has a turning-over or other actions, it is determined that the user is in the shallow sleep state; and when the user does not have any action within a preset time period, judging that the user is in the parasomnia state. In an embodiment, the sleep duration may be the user parasomnia duration. In another embodiment, the sleep duration may be the user parasomnia duration plus a proportion of the user light sleep duration. The movement record may be a length of time of the movement of the user. When the user moves and the wearable device senses that the user has motion actions such as running and the like, judging that the user is in the fitness state; and when the user does not have sports actions such as running within a preset time period, judging that the user is in the rest state. The exercise duration may be the user fitness state duration.

In one embodiment, when the user needs to exercise, the user may actively establish a wireless connection with the exercise apparatus 30 that is available nearby via the mobile device 40. The exercise equipment 30 with the idle status can be defined as the exercise equipment 30 within a predetermined range from the mobile device 40 and working without establishing a connection with any electronic device. The preset range may be preset in the mobile device 40, and the preset range may be 1km, 2km, 3km, or the like.

In an embodiment, the server 50 stores a historical motion menu of the user, and the motion menu generation module 35 may further adjust the intensity of the motion menu according to the sleep state of the user and the historical motion menu. The intensity of the motion menu can be the speed of the motion speed, the height of the motion gradient and the length of the motion time. If the sleep state of the user is good and/or the intensity of the historical motion menu is high, the intensity of the motion menu can be improved; the intensity of the motion menu may be reduced if the user's sleep state is poor and/or the historical motion menu intensity is poor.

In step S201, the setting module 31 sets the exercise program of the exercise equipment 30 according to the exercise menu.

In one embodiment, the exercise apparatus 30 is in communication connection with the server 50 through the first wireless communication component 90 and the second wireless communication component 92, the exercise apparatus 30 can directly obtain the exercise menu from the server 50, and the setting module 31 can set the exercise program of the exercise apparatus according to the exercise menu.

In another embodiment, the mobile device 40 may be communicatively connected to the second wireless communication component 92 of the server 50, and the mobile device 40 may also be communicatively connected to the first wireless communication component 90 of the exercise apparatus 30. The mobile device 40 obtains the exercise menu from the server 50 and transmits the exercise menu to the exercise apparatus 30, and the setting module 31 may set an exercise program of the exercise apparatus 30 according to the exercise menu.

In step S202, the determining module 32 determines whether at least one starting signal is received, and starts the exercise apparatus 30 after receiving at least one starting signal.

In this embodiment, the wearable device 60 is a smart shoe, and the exercise apparatus 30 further includes at least one sensor (not shown) for detecting the exercise frequency of the user, such as a pressure sensor, a gravity sensor, etc. The movement frequency may be a step frequency. When the user starts to run or walk, the sensor module of the wearable device 60 or the sensor of the fitness equipment 30 senses the change of the exercise frequency of the user and sends out a starting signal, and the determining module 32 determines whether at least one starting signal is received, and starts the fitness equipment 30 after receiving at least one starting signal.

It is understood that the frequency of the user's movements may be varied and that such variations may be detected by the wearable device 60 or the exercise apparatus 30, for example, the wearable device 60 may be provided with a gravity sensor module or the exercise apparatus may be provided with a pressure sensor module. When the exercise device 30 is started and the user is exercising, the determining module 32 may determine the change of the exercise frequency of the user according to the data detected by the gravity sensor or the pressure sensor. The setting module 31 may adjust the intensity of the exercise menu of the exercise apparatus in real time according to the change of the exercise frequency of the user determined by the determining module 32 and reset the exercise program of the exercise apparatus 30. For example, when the determination module 32 determines that the pace frequency of the user is increasing, the setting module 31 may increase the exercise speed, increase the exercise slope, and/or increase the exercise time. When the determination module 32 determines that the user's pace frequency is slowed, the setup module 31 may slow down the exercise speed, decrease the exercise slope, and/or shorten the exercise time.

In step S203, the determining module 32 determines whether at least one stop signal is received, and turns off the exercise device 30 after receiving at least one stop signal.

When the user stops running or walking, the gravity sensor module of the wearable device 60 and/or the pressure sensor of the fitness equipment 30 sense that the movement frequency of the user changes and send a stop signal, and the determining module 32 determines whether at least one of the stop signals is received, and stops the fitness equipment 30 after receiving at least one of the stop signals.

When the start signal, stop signal, and motion frequency are from the sensor module of the wearable device 60, the determination module 32 may receive the start signal, stop signal, and motion frequency from the wearable device 60 through the first wireless communication component 90.

In this embodiment, the server 50 may further detect whether the user has a motion record within a preset time period through a detection module (not shown), and send a prompt signal when the user has no record within the preset time period. The preset time period may be a preset number of days, and the preset number of days may be 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, and the like. Specifically, the detection module can detect the number of exercise days of the user in the last period of time, compare the number of exercise days with a preset number of days, and send the prompt signal when the number of exercise days of the user in the last period of time is less than the preset number of days. In other embodiments, the preset time period may be consecutive days, which may be 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, etc. Specifically, the detection module may detect a motion record of the user in a recent period of time, and send the prompt signal when the number of consecutive days in which the user has not moved recently is greater than a preset number of days.

In one embodiment, the server 50 may send the prompt signal to the user's wearable device 60 or mobile device 40 through the second wireless communication component 92.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other variations and modifications may be made in accordance with the invention and its spirit and scope in accordance with the practice of the invention disclosed herein.
