Descrizione generale dei sistemi utili per gli aspetti pratici dell'invenzione General description of the systems useful for the practical aspects of the invention

Aspetti della presente invenzione riguardano in generale sistemi e dispositivi usati per il rilevamento di prestazioni atletiche, ad esempio per misurare, elaborare, memorizzare e / o produrre dati fisici e / o fisiologici e / o psico-fisiologici associati ad un evento atletico, una routine di esercizio, o altro fisico o prestazioni atletiche (i termini "prestazioni atletiche" e "routine di allenamento" sono usati in questa descrizione per riferirsi genericamente a qualsiasi tipo di evento atletico, esercizio, allenamento, routine o simili, compresi eventi eseguiti come esercizi di allenamento, eventi eseguiti come parte di concorsi effettivi, ecc.). Alcuni aspetti pi? specifici di questa invenzione si riferiscono a sistemi e metodi per fornire dati di prestazioni atletiche a dispositivi elettronici, per consentire la visualizzazione, l'ulteriore elaborazione, la produzione e / o la memorizzazione delle informazioni e / o dei dati di prestazione atletica. Secondo almeno alcuni esempi della presente invenzione, il dispositivo di uscita elettronica pu? essere (e / o pu? includere almeno alcune funzioni di) un dispositivo di visualizzazione o uscita audio, alfanumerico convenzionale e disponibile in commercio (come ad esempio telefono cellulare, orologio, lettore MP3, lettore audio, Smart TV, dispositivo di riproduzione video o simili). Almeno alcuni esempi di sistemi e metodi secondo la presente invenzione possono includere o utilizzare un "adattatore" o altro sistema o dispositivo di interfaccia: (a) per ricevere dati da un sistema di rilevamento della prestazione atletica e (b) per trasmettere dati al dispositivo di uscita , facoltativamente con l'elaborazione di dati intermedi per inserire i dati in una forma o un formato desiderati, ad esempio per l?uscita immediata sul dispositivo di uscita, per la memorizzazione, per la ritrasmissione, ecc. Il sistema di interfaccia o dispositivo, se presente e / o necessario, pu? collegare fisicamente una porta o un jack esistente (ad esempio una porta bus seriale universale, una porta seriale, una porta parallela o altri dati o una porta di ingresso alimentazione / ricarica) fornita nel dispositivo di uscita, anche nelle porte convenzionali note e utilizzate in commercio dispositivi elettronici disponibili. Questa caratteristica opzionale presenta vantaggi in quanto fornisce ai possessori di dispositivi elettronici convenzionali (ad esempio, dei tipi descritti sopra) la capacit? di visualizzare, memorizzare, emettere e / o ritrasmettere dati fisici o fisiologici o psico-fisiologici raccolti durante una prestazione atletica (ad esempio, durante la deambulazione , in esecuzione, in bicicletta, in sport natatori, ecc., un utente pu? visualizzare i dati delle prestazioni (ad esempio velocit?, distanza, frequenza cardiaca, ecc.) su un dispositivo di riproduzione audio, smartphone o qualsiasi altro genere di riproduzione multimediale computerizzata o altro dispositivo elettronico e / o ricevere informazioni audio tramite cuffie collegate al lettore MP3 o altro dispositivo con funzionalit? audio o simili), per mezzo di comunicazione di tipo wireless e / o bluetooth, in modo tale da permettere una connessione di relativamente ampio raggio di trasmissione dei dati, e quindi di monitoraggio controllabile da un utente diverso rispetto all'utente che sta eseguendo gli esercizi motori. Quindi questa invenzione permette non solo di controllare e visualizzare i dati analizzati dall'utente stesso che svolge l'allenamento, ma soprattutto, per il tipo di connessione "senza fili" pu? avere lo scopo di una somministrazione controllata e visualizzata da un terzo utente, come per esempio un allenatore, o un ricercatore, o un addetto alla somministrazione dell'esercizio. Questo permette ancora di pi? di dare la possibilit? di una somministrazione dell'esercizio fisico a pi? persone contemporaneamente, quindi su pi? dispositivi in modo simultaneamente parallela, cosi da permettere lo svolgimento e la modulazione dell'intensit? dell'esercizio stesso, non soltanto ad un utente/soggetto, ma a pi? individui, con lo scopo di far svolgere attivit? di gruppo simultaneamente. Se lo si desidera, il dispositivo elettronico pu? essere in grado di ricevere e / o elaborare direttamente i dati delle prestazioni, nel qual caso il dispositivo di interfaccia pu? essere omesso. Aspects of the present invention relate in general to systems and devices used for the detection of athletic performance, for example to measure, process, store and / or produce physical and / or physiological and / or psycho-physiological data associated with an athletic event, a routine exercise, or other physical or athletic performance (the terms "athletic performance" and "training routine" are used in this description to refer generically to any type of athletic event, exercise, workout, routine or similar, including events performed as exercise training, events performed as part of actual competitions, etc.). Some aspects more? specific to this invention relate to systems and methods for providing athletic performance data to electronic devices, to enable the display, further processing, production and / or storage of athletic performance information and / or data. According to at least some examples of the present invention, the electronic output device can? be (and / or may include at least some features of) a conventional, commercially available alphanumeric, alphanumeric audio display or output device (such as mobile phone, watch, MP3 player, audio player, Smart TV, video playback device, or similar). At least some examples of systems and methods according to the present invention may include or use an "adapter" or other interface system or device: (a) to receive data from an athletic performance tracking system and (b) to transmit data to the device output, optionally with intermediate data processing to insert data in a desired form or format, e.g. for immediate output to the output device, for storage, for retransmission, etc. The interface system or device, if present and / or necessary, can? physically connect an existing port or jack (such as a universal serial bus port, serial port, parallel or other data port, or power / charging input port) provided in the output device, even in conventional ports known and used in I trade available electronic devices. This optional feature has advantages in that it provides owners of conventional electronic devices (for example, of the types described above) the ability to do so. to view, store, emit and / or retransmit physical or physiological or psycho-physiological data collected during an athletic performance (for example, while walking, running, cycling, swimming, etc., a user can view the performance data (e.g. speed, distance, heart rate, etc.) on an audio playback device, smartphone or any other kind of computer media playback or other electronic device and / or receive audio information via headphones connected to the MP3 player or other device with audio functionality or similar), by means of wireless and / or bluetooth communication, in such a way as to allow a connection of relatively wide range of data transmission, and therefore of monitoring controllable by a different user than the user who is performing the motor exercises. So this invention allows not only to control and view the data analyzed by the user who performs the training, but above all, for the type of "wireless" connection it can? have the purpose of a controlled administration and visualized by a third user, such as for example a coach, or a researcher, or an employee administering the exercise. This allows even more? to give the possibility? of an administration of physical exercise to pi? people at the same time, so on more? devices in a simultaneous parallel way, so as to allow the development and modulation of the intensity? of the exercise itself, not only to a user / subject, but to pi? individuals, with the aim of carrying out activities? group simultaneously. If desired, the electronic device can? be able to receive and / or process the performance data directly, in which case the interface device can? be omitted.

Seguono esempi pi? specifici di alcuni aspetti dell'invenzione. More examples follow? specific to some aspects of the invention.

Claims

Claims 1) Description of the features? and objectives of the present invention The present invention has as its main objective that of administering the music with the pi? suitable for increasing or decreasing or maintaining the intensity? optimal exercise, simultaneously analyzing the intensity index? exercise through heart rate. This method of analysis thus allows to identify the degree of intensity? of the exercise in execution, and at the same time the rhythm of the motor gesture, so as to be able to modulate the administration of the exercise through a music with a more rhythmic rhythm. high or more? low, or to keep it in case the intensity? falls within the optimal range of the set goal (whether it is to lose weight, or to keep fit, or to prevent an incorrect lifestyle). 1) Use of music and other content in systems and methods according to the examples of this invention Music, but more? appropriately the use of its intrinsic component of rhythm appears as a fundamental variable to guarantee the correct administration of intensity? of exercise. This, to be effective, must necessarily have a feedback from the accelerometer sensors, for the detection of cadence and rhythm? of the motor gesture, in such a way that it can be modulated according to the training needs. ? fundamental for? describe the various methods of administration and musical rhythmic functions: I. Rhythmic change through musical change, (very concise description) In case any subject changes his rhythm? or intensity? of exercise in response to fatigue stimuli and changes in psycho-physical parameters, the device and the MFP method allows you to detect this change and automatically set a music of different motivational and / or rhythmic caliber, with the aim of leading the same in a targeted training condition and then bring it back to the desired prescription and / or target range. II. Rhythmic change through time-stretching. (very brief description) The second method of automated intensity modification? and rhythmicity? of the exercise consists not only in changing it as the example described above, but also with the method, always automatic, of lengthening, or time-stretching, of the music file to adapt it to the specific BPM to which the subject needs in optimal training response (for example, a track listened to has a rhythm of 130BPM but the rhythmic motor step or gesture is 10BPM more or less; time-stretching automatically will not lead the subject to change his rhythm because maybe he is unable to do it, due to fatigue and / or pain and / or physical abilities, but he will modify the piece by slowing down or accelerating the musical rhythm, precisely by lengthening the music file on the time coordinate).

2) Presentation of athletic performance data Another aspect of this invention relates to the athletic performance tracking systems, methods and user interfaces presented by the data detection device. Such systems may include: (a) a processing system programmed and adapted to receive inputs (heart rate monitor) indicating at least one first parameter associated with the user's athletic performance during a training routine (for example, anthropometric data or heart rate monitors and / or accelerometry and / or piezoelectric systems associated with the training routine, such as rhythm information, distance information through GPS satellite sensors, time information, etc.); and (b) an input system that receives the user's input classification or characterizes an intensity? or a difficulty? of your workout routine. The processing system can? also be programmed and adapted to present to the user data related to the exercise routine (e.g. speed information, rhythm information, distance information, timing information, heart rate information, pulse rate information, movement information in terms of intensity and rhythmicity related to each other, etc.). Using the user's subjective input (and optionally objective data, when present), systems and methods according to at least some examples of this invention can better design present and future training routines or parameters, for example to help better maintain training. interest of the user, to help improve their physical fitness and / or achieve their fitness goals and / or to lead them into the MFO threshold and / or lead them into the physiological condition of aerobics? and anaerobicity? optimal, etc.

3) Other techniques for presenting data or information How ? known, conventional athletic performance and sports equipment are capable of presenting data and information to users about their performance or workouts (eg distance, time, speed, calories burned, metabolic equivalents ("MET"), etc.). ). Systems and methods according to at least some examples of this invention can be programmed and adapted to provide performance data and / or information to users in other forms or formats, for example, to be more effective. fun, motivational, goal oriented, etc. For example, as for the distance, rather than simply indicating miles or kilometers traveled, the data of the maximum oxidation of fat can be presented, through the heart rate detected (for example, within the range of maximum fat oxidation the color of the BPM of the heart rate could appear with the green color, as soon as the physical exercise goes out of this? target range? the color can change with the color red or orange and then red), as well as the indication of the distance traveled by assigning a geo-localized target as a goal, or by indicating a countdown of the time or distance to be covered on the reference device. As examples more? specific, distance traveled data can be presented as a map of a relevant area (for example, a user's local area, a state map, a map of Italy, a world map, etc.) which shows the distance traveled by the user on the map. Such a presentation tool can? help provide motivation and / or help users better define and visualize goals. For example, a user can? have a "goal" to run on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bicycle remotely "through their state of residence" within a specific time period (for example, a month) within a specific time period (for example, a year). Presenting a user's progress on a map can help them easily visualize their current goals and progress and / or provide motivation to continue working towards the goal in the future. The user's progress and / or goal can be presented on a map of any desired area without departing from this invention (e.g. a locally relevant map, a map of a familiar and / or user-selected area, etc. .). Furthermore or alternatively, the map can? be modified over time, optionally automatically by systems and / or methods according to the present invention. For example, for users with long-distance goals or cycling or rowing boats, the displayed map may change as certain modes change. are reached. For example, the progress made for a treadmill or a cyclist or tank top that aims to run or ride a bike or row can be viewed in various ways as the user's distance builds up over time. During a workout in which the user's accumulated distance passes or approaches 70 kilometers, for example, systems and methods according to at least some examples of this invention can display a map including Milan, Brescia and Florence, recommended and / or set by the ? user, for example, as follows: "Congratulations. Today you crossed the 70km mark towards your goal. As shown in this map, if you started running in Milan, today you would have reached Como!" this same user could reach the limit of 150 kilometers. The "real world" goals for other types of activities? training sessions may include, for example: a target lifted for total weight (eg, kilograms x n sets x n reps / sets, etc.) sufficient to lift a 4-story building; total number of floors or slope of the target climbing hill sufficient to climb Mount Everest. Total number of km of rowing distance sufficient to row on Lake Bracciano; total number of kilometers to reach Antarctica; etc. Any desired "real world" goal can? be presented visually or in other ways, in an effort to entertain and motivate users and keep them interested in continuing their training routines over time. Other measured training parameters can also be expressed in "real" terms, eg. For entertainment, motivational and / or objective purposes. As further examples, information related to intensity data? training (eg. Calories burned, MET, BPM of the rhythmic speed of a music listened to by earphones, etc.). They can be presented or displayed in more formats or formats. "real". As examples more? specific, "caloric" data and information can be presented (for example, before a workout as a goal, during a workout and / or in a post-workout analysis) in real terms as equivalent to certain foods or drinks. Of course, the display can? present to the user any desired food or drink without departing from this invention. As examples, if a user selects a "fat burning" goal before starting a workout, systems and methods according to the examples of this invention can display icons or images of foods or drinks corresponding to the calorie consumption goal (for example, 3 dishes of fried fish, two glasses of red wine, 4 ice cream cones, etc., displayed, for example, on the display of exercise equipment, on the portable electronic device such as a smartwatch or smartphone, etc.). So, as the workout progresses, these icons or images may disappear and / or change in appearance to indicate how far the workout? been completed. Any desired way of presenting and / or editing images or icons can? be used without departing from this invention, such as: changing the color of the icon or image (optionally in portions as the workout progresses, or increasing the number of grams of fat consumption, etc.); causing an increasing portion of the icon or image to fade, gray or disappear, etc .; causing an increasing portion of the icon or image to be colored or appear; "X" - extracting the icon or image (eg, slowly superimposing an "X", "No" or similar character or icon over the food or drink icon or image, etc.) ; etc. Alternatively or alternatively, the data relating to fat burned and information after training (or other times) can be displayed (for example, on sports equipment, on the electronic smartwatch or smartphone device, on a post-analysis computer. training (as well as a computer not represented in the attached figures, etc.).
