Description

  The present invention relates to an aerobic exercise machine for maintaining and improving an individual's health. The machine targeted by the present invention is a machine that performs aerobic exercise, such as a running machine or a bicycle ergometer, and has a function of measuring and displaying elapsed time, calorie consumption, and distance traveled during the exercise. .

  One of the simplest exercises is aerobic exercise such as running, walking, and cycling. However, when these exercises are performed indoors, it is necessary to use commercial machines such as private sports clubs or exercise at home. There is the use of personally purchased household machines.

  First of all, most of the use of commercial machines is a fee setting including equipment and labor costs other than aerobic exercise, so the fee burden is heavy, the trouble of the membership system, and the aerobic exercise May not be used or may not be used because there are no choices of usage fees only, there are restrictions on usage time, and the number of installed units is small. In other words, the opportunity for exercise is impaired.

  Even for those who are already enrolled in private sports clubs, etc., most of the fee systems such as admission fee, monthly fee payment, annual fee payment, etc., so the unit price per month when usage is low is high, etc. To pay a large fee.

  For machine installers, large-scale facilities equipped with a wide variety of exercise equipment for attracting customers and facility maintenance costs including labor costs such as facility staff are large, so installation of facilities such as densely populated areas It must be a limited area. This is largely due to the fact that the usage fee for each machine can only be collected through the facility staff.

  Even household machines are expensive for individuals. Often, exercise at home doesn't always go on, and in this case, a corner machine becomes a useless long item. Not only is it limited in apartment houses, but it can also be a noise problem, and even though it is a casual home-use machine, there are restrictions on usage time and usage. Furthermore, since home machines are often not as durable as business machines, it takes time to deal with repairs, and in the worst case, disposal also takes time.

  A system that aims to solve these problems and attempts to reduce the management cost by connecting machines with a communication network and managing them unattended has been proposed in the patent literature. It is easily imagined that this is necessary, and that amount will be a burden on the user, and as a result, it will not lead to the spread of environmental maintenance.

  On the other hand, general aerobic exercise machines are provided with information such as elapsed time, calories burned, and distance traveled during exercise, and for users, at least one of these information is the goal of exercise. Although it seems that the use of machines at private sports clubs is limited in time for efficient operation, user-oriented target use such as calorie consumption and mileage is not necessarily provided.

  In addition, when using these aerobic exercise machines in private sports clubs, etc., there may be a waiting order due to the large number of users, and it is necessary for the waiting user how long to wait. Although it is information, in order to obtain that information, it must be confirmed by removing the machine display that is being used, and it is bothersome and it makes it awkward for both users and standby users. It's hard to say that the environment is in place.

JP 2003-236017 A

  As for the aerobic exercise so far described above, the opportunity is often lost despite the simplest exercise. This has a problem that an efficient and inexpensive environment has not been established due to a large usage fee burden for indoor use and a large maintenance cost for the installer.

  For aerobic exercise machine users, usage information such as calories burned and mileage is the goal of exercise in addition to the elapsed time. There is a problem that the waiting time information is not effectively provided to the person.

  The present invention is intended to solve such a conventional problem and aims to contribute to the maintenance and promotion of personal health.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an aerobic exercise machine having a function of measuring an elapsed time, calorie consumption, and travel distance in performing an exercise and displaying them on a first display, and power supply to the aerobic exercise machine In a coin-type acidity exercise machine connected to a management machine having at least a function, a coin recovery function, and a timer function, the management machine has a second display capable of screen touch operation and consumption measured by the aerobic exercise machine It has a memory function for reading the data of the number of calories and the number of mileage, and is displayed on the second display so that a unit for collecting the usage fee can be selected from time, calorie consumption or mileage, and exercise. The elapsed time after the start is displayed on the first display and the second display at the same time, and the end is expected Have time to be displayed on the second display

  When the charge collection unit is time, the estimated end time is the remaining time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time after the start of use from the use time selected by the user, and the charge collection unit is the calorie consumption or mileage In this case, for a unit of calorie consumption or mileage set in advance, the time when the set unit is consumed after the start of use is stored in the memory function, and the remaining value of the calorie consumption or mileage selected by the user is stored. Divide by the preset unit, and display the value obtained by multiplying the divided value by the digestion time stored in the memory as the expected end time, and then repeat this calculation until the user collects the charge collection unit selected by the user By doing so, the latest expected end time is displayed.

  An aerobic exercise machine having a function of measuring the elapsed time, calories burned, and travel distance in the execution of the exercise and displaying them on the first display, a management having a power supply function, a coin recovery function, and a timer function Connect the machine. As a result, self-use and unmanned use fee collection can be achieved.

  In a management machine with a counter and memory function that reads data on the number of calories burned and mileage measured by an aerobic exercise machine, a second display capable of screen touch operation uses a unit for collecting usage fees. It is displayed so that one can be selected from calories or mileage. This makes it possible to provide not only a time management exercise but also a machine use of a target management exercise according to the purpose of the user.

  The elapsed time after the start of exercise is simultaneously displayed on the first display of the aerobic exercise machine and the second display of the manager. This makes it possible to provide time guidance not only to the user himself but also to the next user who is waiting.

  The estimated end time is displayed on the second display of the management machine. As a result, it is possible to provide time guidance to the next waiting user.

  These effects make it possible to increase the number of places where aerobic exercises can be carried out easily because efficient operation with a low maintenance cost including labor costs can be expected. It can provide a place for maintenance and promotion.
