Definitions

  • the speed causes, through a greater frequency of steps for higher speeds, a greater frequency of oscillations by the subject's body (and therefore head) along the vertical axis. Therefore, the running speed also affects the frequency of the variations of the angle of incidence of the gaze on a fixed screen: higher speeds correspond to more frequent variations of said angle of incidence. Compensating adjustment by the eye muscles so as to keep the image fixed on the retina may therefore be insufficient. At higher running speeds a user will have greater difficulty clearly perceiving the image on the display.
  • Yet another aim of the present invention is to provide an exercise machine with an adaptive interface which has a simple structure, is easy to make in practice, operates safely and effectively and is relatively inexpensive.
  • the present exercise machine with an adaptive interface, comprising at least one processing unit designed to manage and control the machine, sensor means for transferring information about the machine operating state to said processing unit, at least one user interface equipped with means for displaying the machine current operating state and manual control means for the machine functions, characterised in that it comprises optimisation means, controlled by the processing unit and designed to modify the display means and the manual control means when there are variations in at least one machine operating parameter detected by the sensor means.
  • the numeral 1 denotes a first example embodiment of an exercise machine with an adaptive interface in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 4 shows a functional block diagram of the exercise machine.
  • the first example embodiment described below relates to an exercise machine consisting of a conventional type treadmill.
  • the exercise machine may also be of another type (an exercise bicycle, a rowing machine, etc.), without in any way limiting the scope of the present invention.
  • the treadmill comprises a frame 2 which rotatably supports a belt 3 on two parallel rollers, not illustrated in the Figures. The user exercises by walking and running on the belt.
  • the treadmill also comprises, supported by two uprights 4, a console 5, from which there extend two lateral safety handles 6 which allow the user to lean on them while exercising.
  • the treadmill is equipped, in the known way, with a processing unit, labelled 7 in Figure 4 , designed to manage and control the machine.
  • actuator means 8 also of the known type, which in this particular example embodiment are active, that is to say, there consist of an electric motor which drives the rotation of the belt 3.
  • the treadmill also comprises sensor means, labelled 9, designed to transfer to the processing unit 7, from one moment to the next, information about the machine operating state, such as detection of user presence on the belt, the belt speed of rotation, the belt incline and other information.
  • the console 5 is advantageously equipped with a user interface, labelled 10 as a whole, which allows the user to actively interact with the machine, that is to say, to manage all operating parameters relating to the exercise being performed, such as the time elapsed, distance covered, incline, etc.
  • the user interface 10 comprises means 11 for displaying the machine current operating state, and manual control means, labelled 12 as a whole, which can be operated by the user.
  • the user can use the display and control means to define as required the machine operating parameters (time, speed, belt incline, etc.) before performing the exercise and, above all, while exercising.
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a user interface 10 of a modern exercise machine.
  • the above-mentioned display means 11 comprise a monitor 13 forming a display 14 preferably of the "touch screen" type.
  • an upper area 15 of the display is preferably designed to show the above-mentioned machine operating parameters (time, speed, belt incline, etc.) from one moment to the next, whilst the central area of the display 14 may be used to display entertainment content for the user while exercising.
  • the manual control means 12 usually comprise primary manual controls 17, that is to say, those of fundamental importance for correct management of machine operation, and secondary manual controls 18, that is to say, those designed to manage the machine entertainment content (videos, music and other such content).
  • the primary manual controls 17 preferably consist of virtual push-buttons (that is to say, predetermined areas defined in the touch screen which, if touched with a finger, due to phenomena involving local capacitive variation give rise to electrical signals) for a machine fast start, stop, variation in the speed of belt 3 rotation, variation in the belt 3 incline relative to the horizontal plane, and other equivalent push-buttons for managing the main functions of the machine.
  • the primary manual controls 17 are preferably located in the lower part of the display 14.
  • the exercise machine advantageously comprises optimisation means, labelled 19 in the diagram in Figure 4 , controlled by the processing unit 7, designed to modify the display means 11 and the manual control means 12 of the interface 10 when there is a variation in at least one of the machine operating parameters, defined in more detail in the following description, the parameter being detected by the sensor means 9.
  • the optimisation means 19 are designed to modify the dimensions of the means 11 for displaying the machine operating state when there are variations in said operating parameter.
  • the above-mentioned optimisation means 19 are designed to modify the dimensions of the manual control means 12 when there are variations in said parameter.
  • the operating parameter referred to appropriately consists of the speed at which the exercise is performed and, in the particular example embodiment described herein, the speed of rotation of the treadmill belt 3, corresponding to a predetermined user walking or running speed.
  • the optimisation means 19 are designed in such a way that while the exercise is performed they simultaneously increase the dimensions of the primary manual control means 17 and reduce the dimensions of the display 14, thus achieving a synergic effect of increasing comfort and increasing the accessibility of the controls, and therefore increasing safety.
  • the optimisation means 19 are designed to remove from the user interface 10, and therefore from the display 14, the secondary manual control means 18, according to a predetermined calculation algorithm, when there is an increase in said speed (in particular when a predetermined "threshold" value is exceeded).
  • a predetermined "threshold" value is exceeded.
  • the optimisation means 19 may be of the software type. In more detail, they may be made by means of suitable modifications to the existing exercise machine management software, resident in the processing unit 7.
  • the invention achieves the preset aims.
  • Figure 5 is a schematic detailed view of a second example embodiment of an exercise machine with an adaptive interface 10 in accordance with the invention.
  • the machine is equipped with manual contact type sensor means 9, located in the machine handgrip zones and designed to detect the position of the hands so as to identify the posture adopted by the user on the exercise machine, and therefore the distance separating his eyes from the display 14.
  • Detecting the user's posture on the machine therefore allows variation of the dimensions of the display 14 in inverse proportion to the distance separating the user's eyes from it.
  • the dimensions of the display 14 are reduced by a predetermined quantity by the calculation algorithm.
  • the dimensions of the display 14 are increased by a predetermined quantity. This guarantees the optimum display 14 size for each user posture.
