Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the present condition where a technical problem, a problem in cost, and problems in software development cost and hardware development cost cannot be solved and any device is withdrawn and not yet made into a product, although anyone recognizes the effect of an aerobike (an indoor training bicycle) for good health and various ideas are proposed because of lacking in refreshing feeling as compared with that in outdoor training. <P>SOLUTION: Collaboration (coupling) is achieved by a system in which the controllers of an aerobike on sale and a TV game machine on sale are mounted to a pedal of the aerobike or user's foot to transmit the cadence state to a TV game machine body, or by a system in which a sub-controller of the TV game machine is combined with a cordless attachment on sale and fitted to a steering bar to be used as a brake, an accelerator and a speed change gear. Especially, concerning game software, existing fitness software is applied intactly, or the software is partly remodeled to thereby achieve a virtual aerobike inexpensively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

自転車に乗ってのサイクリングがダイエットや健康維持に効果があることは誰もが知るところである。しかし交通状況・環境・天候・時間帯によっては病気や怪我の恐れがある。また、山岳地帯など地域によっては年間を通じて自転車に乗ることが現実的でない場合もある。現在、「環境に左右されずに運動をしたい」というそれらの要望からかと思われるが室内用の自転車が発明され数多く市販されている。
また、インドアでの運動は、アウトドアとは違い、景色や風邪を感じたりする爽快感が得られることがなく運動も単調でモチベーションの維持は困難である。そのため「室内で臨場感あるサイクリングを楽しみたい」という声が多く聞かれる。
しかし要約に述べたように、それらを実現するには技術面もさることながら莫大な開発コストがかかり、未だ実現に至っていないのが現状である。
Everyone knows that cycling on a bicycle is effective for diet and health maintenance. However, there is a risk of illness or injury depending on traffic conditions, environment, weather, and time of day. In some regions, such as mountainous areas, riding a bicycle throughout the year may not be practical. At present, it seems to be due to the desire to “exercise without being influenced by the environment”, but many indoor bicycles have been invented and are commercially available.
In addition, indoor exercise, unlike the outdoors, does not provide a refreshing feeling of scenery or a cold, and the exercise is monotonous and it is difficult to maintain motivation. For this reason, many people say that they want to enjoy cycling in a room.
However, as stated in the summary, in order to realize these, it takes a huge development cost as well as technical aspects, and it has not been realized yet.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、技術的な問題とコスト的な問題を解決し、臨場感あるエアロバイクを、低価格にて提供できることを課題とする。  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve technical problems and cost problems, and to provide a realistic exercise bike at a low price.

市販TVゲームソフトと市販エアロバイクを結合し、エアロバイクに臨場感とゲーム性をプラスする。手段は以下の通り。
(1)TVゲーム機のモーションセンサ付コントローラをエアロバイクのペダルのアタッチメント接続または利用者の足に装着しケイデンスを検知しゲーム機に通知する。
(2)TVゲーム機のバランスボードとエアロバイクをアタッチメントにより接続し、利用者の前後左右への体重移動をエアロバイクを通じてバランスボードに伝えるとことでTVゲーム機ソフトにもその情報を伝える。
(3)TVゲーム機のサブコントローラをエアロバイクのハンドルにアタッチメントにより装着し、ボタン操作をゲーム機ソフトに伝え、ブレーキやアクセル、変速機などとに利用しする。
(4)エアロバイク側にハードウェアにBluetooth通信機能をもたせ、ゲームとの通信をする方式にする。これにより、TVゲーム機ソフトからの指示情報を得ることができ、坂や風を表現するペダル負荷、風を表現するファンや音制御、坂を表現するハンドル上下などゲームソフトからエアロバイクの制御が可能になる。また、エアロバイク側の心拍数、体温、体脂肪率情報などをゲーム側に送ることなどが可能なる。
Combining commercial TV game software and commercial exercise bikes to add realism and gameplay to exercise bikes. The means are as follows.
(1) A controller with a motion sensor of a TV game machine is attached to an attachment of a pedal of an exercise bike or a user's foot to detect cadence and notify the game machine.
(2) The balance board of the TV game machine and the exercise bike are connected to each other by an attachment, and the information on the TV game machine software is transmitted to the balance board via the exercise bike.
(3) The sub controller of the TV game machine is attached to the handle of the exercise bike by an attachment, the button operation is transmitted to the game machine software, and used for a brake, an accelerator, a transmission, and the like.
(4) Provide a Bluetooth communication function on hardware on the side of the exercise bike to communicate with the game. In this way, it is possible to obtain instruction information from the TV game machine software, and it is possible to control the exercise bike from the game software such as pedal load expressing a hill and wind, fan and sound control expressing a wind, and steering wheel up and down expressing a hill. It becomes possible. It is also possible to send heart rate information, body temperature, body fat percentage information, etc. on the exercise bike side to the game side.

市販TVゲーム機とエアロバイクをコラボレーション手段の本発明により、エアロバイクと市販TVゲームが一体化し、臨場感あるエクササイズが安価に提供可能となる。また、発明の組み合わせにより、以下のように段階的に提供も可能である。
(1)ゲームとエアロ共に改造なしで提供(ケイデンス検知+バランスボード+市販ゲームソフト(WiiFit)のみで提供)
(2)既存各ゲームソフトを一部改良しケイデンス検知可能にして提供。
(3)ゲーム側からのエアロバイク制御する機能により、より自然な臨場感を提供。
According to the present invention, which is a collaboration means of a commercial TV game machine and an exercise bike, the exercise bike and the commercial TV game can be integrated, and a realistic exercise can be provided at a low cost. Moreover, it can also provide in steps as follows by the combination of invention.
(1) Provided without modification for both game and aero (provided only by cadence detection + balance board + commercial game software (WiiFit))
(2) A part of the existing game software has been improved to provide cadence detection.
(3) The function of exercise bike control from the game side provides a more natural presence.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
■ In (1) and (2), a controller with a motion sensor is attached to a pedal or a foot, and cadence information is transmitted to a TV game machine.
■ In (3), the weight shift is transmitted to the balance board by the attachment board to the TV game machine.
(4) In (4), another controller (called Nunchaku) attached to the game machine is attached to the handle, and a brake instruction is transmitted to the game machine through Bluetooth.
(5) The game machine and the exercise bike are connected by Bluetooth communication to control the exercise bike. In addition, the information obtained on the exercise bike side is transmitted to the game machine. Although it is actually built in the main body of TV game machines, controllers, and exercise bikes, it is represented as an image diagram for convenience.

The game controller is mounted on a mounting base and attached to the pedal with a belt. モーションセンサー付コントローラーを取り付けるもう一つの方法と装着用具の図。コントローラー装着ポケットを持ったサポーター。ペダル装着のアタッチメントより安価で手軽である。Illustration of another method and mounting tool for attaching a controller with motion sensor. Supporter with a controller mounting pocket. It is cheaper and easier than a pedal-mounted attachment. バランスボードは小さいので、直接エアロバイクを乗せることができない。バランスボードとエアロバイクの間に体重移動を伝える板状のアタッチメントを入れることで、バイクを乗せることが可能になる。バランスボードとアタッチメントの間には「▲5▼バランスボード高調整ネジ」を設け、「▲3▼クッション」と「▲4▼本体高さ調整ネジ」により、ボードにかかる負荷が適度になるよう調整可能にするとともに、必要に以上にエアロバイクが傾斜してしまい転倒しないようにする為のものである。Since the balance board is small, it is not possible to ride an exercise bike directly. By placing a plate-like attachment that conveys weight transfer between the balance board and the exercise bike, it is possible to ride the bike. Install “(5) Balance board height adjustment screw” between the balance board and the attachment, and adjust it so that the load on the board is moderate with “(3) Cushion” and “(4) Body height adjustment screw”. This is to make it possible to prevent the exercise bike from tipping over and falling more than necessary. 図4を裏面からみた図である。It is the figure which looked at FIG. 4 from the back surface. エアロバイクのハンドルに直接コントローラー装着でいないため(丸いので)軟質の取り付け台をアタッチメントにしてコントローラー装着する方法とアタッチメントの図。Diagram showing how to attach the controller with the soft mounting base as the controller is not attached directly to the handle of the exercise bike (because it is round).
