Seating exercise apparatus using a computer input device

The present invention is a seated exercise device using a computer input device capable of simultaneously performing the functions of a mouse by converting and transmitting the motion function of the independent two-foot stepper and the foot cloud and the pressing motion by an electric signal using a pair of springs or cylinders. It is about.

The computer is connected to the keyboard and mouse to perform data input and command to the computer using letters and numbers, and the signal cable and signal cable connected to the keyboard and mouse to transmit various data input and command signals to the computer. It is composed of a computer main body and a display device driven by various data input and command signals.

A general computer configured as described above has an input signal and a command signal of various data by a signal cable connected to the keyboard and mouse when the user operates the keyboard to drive the computer and is driven by various data inputs and commands. By being transmitted to the computer main body, a signal such as various data and commands by a user desired operation is displayed on a display device connected to the computer main body and the computer is driven.

The mouse moves the mouse pointer along the X and Y axes.

When the ball is moved in the X-axis direction, the teeth of the X-axis rotates, and when the ball is moved in the Y-axis direction, the teeth of the Y-axis rotates.

Holes are formed in the end portions of the respective X, Y axis teeth, and photodiodes are provided with the holes therebetween.

The photodiode is detected by a detector that detects light leakage emitted from the hole, and outputs the detected light leakage signal to the computer main body.

As a result, the direction and position of the mouse are found.

The left and right buttons formed on the upper part of the mouse during the movement of the mouse are clicked to perform a desired operation.

On the other hand, the stepper is generally used to exercise lower body aerobic exercise and strength exercise at the same time, the upper and lower movement of the foot-mountable lever integral type as a shock absorber installed on the frame by the user alternately left / right footing It is a device that performs continuous movement at a fixed position as you walk while pressing.

As such, exercise equipment has been developed for climbing stairs indoors without actually walking outside, but it takes up a lot of living space due to the enlargement of the exercise equipment, and the use frequency is low due to the problem of investing extra time. Free exercise occurs for a long time exercise.

In addition, there is no interest in the exercise for the purpose of exercise only, there is a problem that is difficult to maintain the exercise effect because there is no continuous data and analysis for the exercise.
