Description
相關申請之交互參照
本申請案主張2018年7月13日提交的題「Cycling Shoe Power Sensors」之臨時專利申請案第62/697,833號之優先權,針對該申請案揭露之所有內容,其被以引用之方式併入本文中。
本揭露內容與自行車鞋功率感測器有關。
騎自行車係一項風行之娛樂且專業運動。隨著騎車人在該項運動中發展,許多人需要提高其表現。量測表現之一個方式為計時騎車人花了多久騎一段給定路程。然而,騎車人難以比較在不同路程上的不同騎行之表現。此困難之部分自可顯著影響個別騎車人之表現的許多變數引起,諸如,天氣條件及道路條件。此困難之部分亦自不同路程間之變數引起,包括緯度、高度改變及自行車構造。
獨立於騎行一段給定路程花費之時間的騎車人用以量測表現之一個量度為騎自行車功率。騎自行車功率係由騎車人施加至自行車的功率之量測。騎自行車功率量測在一時間間隔內在踏板之旋轉之一部分上施加至自行車之踏板及曲柄之力。騎自行車功率為稍獨立於道路條件、天氣條件及高度改變之一量度,且因此為業餘及專業騎車人等之一較佳訓練及比較統計。因為騎自行車功率為施加至踏板及曲柄之力之量測,所以習知地在踏板處或在曲柄處量測功率。
可經由各種可穿戴裝置追蹤生物統計學,諸如,併入至鞋或其他衣物內。經配置以收集生物統計學資訊的鞋之一個實例為描述於2017年11月22日提交的頒予Ashby之美國專利申請案第15/821,386號中。鞋具有一鞋內底,其具有至一空腔之一開口。將一感測器插入至該空腔內。該感測器包括一加速度計及或陀螺儀以收集在使用期間的使用者之鞋之移動資訊。
不顯眼之追蹤裝置之另一實例揭露於2013年12月29日發佈的頒予Moll-Carrillo等人之美國專利第9,224,291號中。Moll-Carrillo揭露在身體活動期間使用諸如行動通訊裝置之計算裝置記錄及顯示運動資料。該行動通訊裝置提供用於定義及記錄由使用者執行之運動活動之選項。該等選項包括內容項目選擇及呈現控制。Moll-Carrillo亦揭露路線選擇及控制。
不顯眼之追蹤裝置之又一實例揭露於2014年6月10日發佈的頒予Vock等人之美國專利第8,749,380中。Vock係針對追蹤具有一鞋磨損感測器的鞋之使用。Vock進一步揭露可提供一種形體棒感測系統,用於感測形體棒之移動。形體棒感測系統包括耦接至該形體棒之一外殼、安置於該外殼內以感測該形體棒之移動之一偵測器及一處理器,該處理器基於感測之移動判定該移動之一重複數目。該形體棒感測系統亦包括一顯示器以將判定之移動重複數目傳達給使用者。
在一些實施例中,一種用於量測鍛煉功率之裝置可包括一鞋,其具有在該鞋之鞋底之一外表面中的一凹穴。一感測器平臺,其具有在該感測器平臺之一頂部上的至少一個感測器及在該感測器平臺之一底部上的至少一個感測器,可經配置以置放於該凹穴中。
在其他實施例中,一種用於量測騎自行車功率之系統可包括一騎自行車鞋。可使用多個平臺扣件將具有多個感測器之一感測器平臺扣緊至該鞋底之一外側。一夾板可使用多個夾板扣件附接至該鞋底,且經配置以可釋放地連接至一自行車踏板。
在再其他實施例中,一種用於量測騎自行車功率之方法可包括將具有多個感測器之一感測器平臺插入至位於一騎自行車鞋之一外表面上的一凹穴內。一夾板可使用多個夾板扣件緊固至該鞋底,且夾牢至附接至一曲柄之一踏板。可藉由經由該騎自行車鞋將一力施加至該踏板來旋轉該曲柄。該力之一量值可由該感測器平臺上之該多個感測器量測,且可使用一處理器處理該力之該量值。
額外特徵及優勢將在接下來之描述中闡述,且部分將自描述變得明顯,或可藉由本文中的教示之實踐來獲悉。本發明之特徵及優勢可藉由在所附申請專利範圍中特定指出之器件及組合來實現及獲得。本發明之特徵將自以下描述及所附申請專利範圍變得更充分地顯而易見,或可藉由實踐如下文闡述之本發明來獲悉。

仍然參看第2-1圖,在一些實施例中,半橋應變計感測器214-3經配置以量測平行於曲柄之一徑向軸線(未展示,垂直於踏板軸線228)的力,或換言之,當踏板及曲柄圍繞自行車之曲柄組之旋轉軸線移動時,量測軸向力。半橋應變計感測器214-3可包括平行於踏板軸線228之一網格,及垂直於踏板軸線228之一網格。在一些實施例中,第一夾板支撐件212-1包括經配置以量測第一夾板支撐件212-1之彎曲的一應變計感測器214-1及經配置以量測第一夾板支撐件212-1上之軸向力的一半橋應變計感測器214-3。
在一些實施例中,第二夾板支撐件212-2包括經配置以量測第二夾板支撐件212-2上之剪切應變之一剪切應變計214-4。剪切應變計214-4可包括垂直於彼此定向之兩個網格,且可與踏板軸線228不平行。舉例而言,兩個網格可與踏板軸線228成正或負45°定向。類似地,第三夾板支撐件212-3可包括經配置以量測第三夾板支撐件212-3上之剪切應變之一剪切應變計214-5。在一些實施例中,剪切應變計214-4、214-5各包括兩個四分之一橋應變計或一單一半橋應變計。
在一些實施例中,任一夾板支撐件212-1、212-2、212-3包括任何類型之應變計感測器。舉例而言,第一夾板支撐件212-1可包括一剪切應變計感測器。在其他實例中,第二夾板支撐件212-2及/或第三夾板支撐件212-3可包括經配置以量測軸向力之一半橋應變計。在再其他實例中,任一夾板支撐件212-1、212-2、212-3可包括具有任何網格定向或任何玫瑰瓣狀之任一應變計感測器。舉例而言,應變計感測器可具有相互按45°角度定向之三個應變計之玫瑰瓣。在其他實例中,應變計感測器可具有相互按60°角度定向之三個應變計之玫瑰瓣。在再其他實例中,應變計感測器可具有相互按一角度定向且一個接一個地堆疊之三個應變計之玫瑰瓣。在再其他實例中,應變計感測器可具有相互按任何角度定向之任何數目個應變計。
第2-2圖為根據本揭露內容之至少一個實施例的第2-1圖之感測器平臺206之仰視圖。在一些實施例中,感測器平臺206可包括在感測器平臺206之頂部及底部上之至少一個感測器214。舉例而言,第一感測器可置放於感測器平臺206之上(如在第2-1圖中展示),且配對之感測器可置放於感測器之底部上。在一些實施例中,感測器平臺206之頂部及/或底部具有多於一個感測器214。
在一些實施例中,將類似感測器214彼此相對地置放於同一夾板支撐件212-1、212-2、212-3上以形成一感測器對或多個感測器對。舉例而言,一四分之一橋應變計感測器214可置放於在前部夾板支撐件212-1之頂部及底部上的相同位置中,使得穿過第一夾板支撐件212-1垂直地繪製之一條線將與在第一夾板支撐件212-1之頂部上的一第一四分之一橋應變計感測器214及在第一夾板支撐件212-1之底部上的一第二四分之一橋應變計感測器214相交。具有在夾板支撐件之對置頂部側與底部側上之感測器的感測器對可增大敏感性,減少雜訊,且產生比具有在夾板支撐件之僅一側上之一感測器可靠的讀數。
在一些實施例中,一感測器對位於感測器平臺206之同一側上。舉例而言,感測器平臺206之頂部可包括在第二夾板支撐件212-2上之一第一剪切應變計感測器214-4及/或在第三夾板支撐件212-2上之一感測器剪切應變計感測器214-5。此感測器對可收集橫向剪力,其中該感測器對收集得比在一單一夾板支撐件上之一單一感測器準確。然而,功率及/或重量考慮可鼓勵使用在一單一夾板支撐件上之一單一感測器。
任何類型之感測器可與任一其他類型之感測器配對,及/或與任一其他類型之感測器相對地置放。舉例而言,一半橋應變計感測器可與另一半橋應變計感測器相對地置放。在其他實例中,一四分之一橋應變計感測器可與一半橋應變計感測器相對地置放。在再其他實例中,一半橋應變計感測器可與一全橋應變計感測器相對地置放。在一些實施例中,相互相對地置放之感測器具有相同的網格定向。在其他實施例中,相互相對地置放之感測器具有不同的網格定向。
在一些實施例中,騎自行車鞋可被磨損,及/或結合一非感測或非作用中感測器平臺使用。舉例而言,該感測器平臺可缺乏感測器,或缺乏與該等感測器之一通訊構件,使得平臺自身為鞋底之凹穴中的一位置標誌。非作用中感測器平臺可定位於該鞋底中,以提供結構剛性,及/或當不需要資料收集時,修改鞋底之結構剛性。
第3圖為根據本揭露內容之至少一個實施例的一鞋底302之俯視圖之表示。在一些實施例中,感測器平臺306可位於鞋底302之前半部分中,或換言之,位於鞋底302之內包頭中,或在再換言之,位於鞋底302之球狀部中。電池外殼330可位於鞋底302之後半部分中,或換言之,位於鞋底302之後跟中。電池外殼330可包括一電池332。在其他實例中,電池外殼330及/或電池332可位於鞋底302之前半部分中。在又其他實例中,電池外殼330及/或電池332可定位於鞋底302外部,諸如,貼附至騎自行車鞋之上部部分。
在其他實施例中,用於感測器平臺306、感測器、處理器、存儲裝置、通訊裝置或騎自行車鞋之其他電子組件的電源可在使用期間產生電。舉例而言,電源可包括定位於鞋之頂部(亦即,與鞋底302相對)上的一太陽能電池,以在騎行期間將太陽能輻射轉換為電。在其他實例中,鞋底可包括動能轉換器,以將鞋之循環移動轉換成電流。電源可包括一可移動重物,其在相對於線圈移動時產生電流。
電池332或其他電源可經由一導管333連接至感測器平臺306。至少一根電線或多根電線可將電池332與感測器平臺306上之多個感測器(例如,第2-1圖及第2-2圖之感測器214)連接。如本文中使用之電線可包括單一傳導性導管、多個傳導性導管、可撓性平電纜、印刷電路板、可撓性印刷電路或另一其他傳導性媒體以將電力傳輸至感測器。在一些實施例中,印刷電路板或可撓性印刷電路可包括整合至印刷電路內之一或多個感測器。以此方式,可對多個感測器供電。
在一些實施例中,電池332可為可替換電池。在其他實施例中,電池332可為可再充電電池。電池332可使用任一方法來再充電,包括經由微型USB或其他連接協定插入至標準120伏AC插座、動力學移動、太陽能或其他充電方法。
在一些實施例中,鞋底302包括一處理器及一通訊裝置。在一些實施例中,該處理器及該通訊裝置位於感測器平臺306上。在其他實施例中,該處理器及該通訊裝置位於電池外殼330中。在再其他實施例中,該處理器及該通訊裝置位於鞋底302之弓狀部中。
在一些實施例中,處理器自感測器收集原始資料,且將其直接傳至通訊裝置。在其他實施例中,處理器自感測器收集原始資料,且將其轉換成由通訊裝置傳輸之格式。在再其他實施例中,感測器收集且分析來自感測器之原始資料。
該通訊裝置可經配置以使用許多已知通訊方法(諸如,藍芽、Wi-Fi、射頻、紅外線及其他通訊方法)與一計算裝置通訊。
第4圖為踏板436及/或騎自行車鞋可行進的一路徑434之示意性表示。路徑434可為圍繞曲柄439之旋轉軸線437的圓路徑,或可為偏心路徑。使用者抵靠踏板436施加力438可使踏板436沿著路徑434移動。在沿著路徑434之任一位置中的抵靠踏板436的力438之量值及方向將判定踏板436之速度及方向。為了保持踏板436在同一方向上旋轉,力438之方向可沿著路徑434改變。類似地,為了按一致功率移動踏板436,力438之量值及方向沿著路徑434改變。施加至踏板436之力438可包括包括相對於曲柄之以下各者之分量:軸向力、縱向剪應力及橫向剪應力。
第5圖為在極座標中的旋轉功率圖表540之示意性表示,其中功率徑向展示且旋轉角度以旋轉方式展示。虛線542表示相等功率之曲柄組之旋轉。功率線544表示針對沿著一路徑(諸如,第4圖之路徑434)之一次充分繞轉的施加至踏板(諸如,第4圖之踏板436)之功率。習知地,騎車人貫穿全部踏板行程不維持恆定之功率。騎自行車行程將具有兩個局部最小值546及兩個局部最大值548。局部最小值546及局部最大值548之位置及量值不僅受到在路徑內之踏板位置影響,而且受到許多使用者具體因素影響,諸如,踩踏力學、強度、重量、有氧健身或前述各者之任何組合。應注意,具有更似卵形形狀之一功率線544(其中最小值546具有相對局部最大值548之較大量值)將較一致功率提供至踏板,且因此指示由騎車人施加之較一致功率。
第6圖表示用於量測騎自行車功率之方法650。方法650包括在652,將一感測器平臺插入至一凹穴內。該凹穴可位於騎自行車鞋之鞋底之外側上。在其他實例中,該凹穴可位於騎自行車鞋之鞋底中,且可經由鞋之內部或經由一槽接取,感測器封裝可插入至該槽內。在654,可將一夾板緊固至騎自行車鞋之鞋底之外側。夾板可使用如本文中描述之多個夾板扣件來緊固。在一些實施例中,將一平臺蓋置放於夾板與感測器平臺之間,以保護感測器平臺。
方法650可包括在656,將夾板夾牢至一踏板。該踏板可附接至一曲柄,該曲柄用以提供用於自行車之原動力,或馬達上之扭矩,或固定自行車之其他阻抗系統。在658,可藉由經由該騎自行車鞋將一力施加至該踏板來旋轉該曲柄。在660,力之多個分量之量值可由在定位於騎自行車鞋與踏板之間的感測器平臺上或中之感測器量測。舉例而言,感測器平臺之感測器可量測由使用者施加的力之線性力、剪切力、扭矩及其他分量,以量測將力自使用者傳輸至踏板之方式及/或效率。在量測力後,在661,資料可視情況自感測器或自騎自行車鞋傳輸至一遠端處理器、硬體儲存裝置或其他電子裝置。資料亦可局部保留於騎自行車鞋中之記憶體、處理器或儲存裝置中。
在662,力的量測之分量之量值經處理且傳達至一計算裝置。在其他實施例中,力的量測之分量經記錄且保存,供以後分析。在又其他實施例中,力的量測之分量之量值即時地對使用者呈現。
產業適用性
本揭露內容大體係關於用以量測騎車人之踏板行程之力及功率之裝置及方法。舉例而言,騎車人可穿戴一騎自行車鞋及一對騎自行車鞋,該或該一對騎自行車鞋具有插入或內嵌至該騎自行車鞋之鞋底內之一感測器平臺。在一些實施例中,騎自行車鞋可經配置以供習知踏板使用,或換言之,供平臺踏板或未夾牢至附接至鞋之夾板內的踏板使用。舉例而言,此等騎自行車鞋可由一山地騎車人使用,山地騎車人並不希望因夾牢至踏板而妨礙其腳,而是仍希望分析其踏板行程之功率。在此騎自行車鞋中之感測器平臺可輔助騎車人判定其踏板行程之效率、其腳在踏板上之置放,或在自行車騎行期間之不同時間,在踏板上之相對重量分佈。
在一些實施例中,感測器平臺經插入至騎自行車鞋之鞋底內。平臺蓋可覆蓋感測器平臺以保護感測器平臺。在一些實施例中,平臺蓋可覆蓋全部凹穴,且使凹穴防水,藉此保護感測器平臺不受水影響。平臺蓋亦可保護感測器平臺不受撞擊,諸如,當騎車人嘗試夾牢至踏板但錯失了或撞到了鞋時,或當騎車人在穿戴著騎自行車鞋時行走時。
在一些實施例中,騎自行車鞋可不包括一平臺蓋。舉例而言,附接至感測器平臺之夾板可充分地覆蓋感測器平臺以提供必要的保護。在其他實例中,感測器平臺可包括在感測器平臺內部之感測器,使得該等感測器不暴露且不易於受到損壞。在再其他實例中,凹穴可含於鞋底內,且包括感測器平臺經插入至之一槽。在其他實施例中,可使用無作用中感測器平臺之一平臺蓋,其中非感測或非作用中平臺在適當位置處。
在一些實施例中,可自輕型複合物(諸如,碳纖或玻璃纖維)製造鞋底之所有或部分。在其他實施例中,可自輕型塑膠(諸如,耐綸、PVC、TPU或其他輕型塑膠)製造鞋底之所有或部分。在一些實施例中,可自輕型複合物(諸如,碳纖或玻璃纖維)製造感測器平臺之所有或部分。在其他實施例中,可自以下各者製造感測器平臺之所有或部分:複合物,諸如,玻璃纖維或碳纖維;輕型塑膠,諸如,耐綸、PVC、TPU或其他輕型塑膠;或金屬,諸如,鋼、不銹鋼、鋁合金或鈦合金。
可將夾板安裝至騎自行車鞋之鞋底上,以緊固感測器平臺及/或平臺蓋。夾板可經配置以夾牢至一匹配踏板。穿戴著騎自行車鞋之使用者可藉由將力施加至鞋,經由鞋底、感測器平臺及/或平臺蓋,至夾板且至踏板,來踩踏自行車或固定鍛煉自行車。踏板可旋轉地附接至曲柄,曲柄旋轉固定至一前盒。鏈條可將前盒連接至旋轉固定至車輪之後盒。
經由踏板施加至曲柄之切向力將使曲柄旋轉,此將使前盒旋轉,且經由鏈條,使後盒旋轉以使車輪旋轉。騎車人在一時間段上施加至踏板以引起旋轉之力為騎自行車功率,通常按瓦(W)來量測。
騎自行車功率可藉由使在踏板行程之每一階段處施加的力最大化來增大。此可包括經由踏板行程之前部向下推動,經由踏板行程之頂部及底部側向拉動及推動(有時描述為刮擦),及經由踏板行程之後部提升。定量分析騎車人之踏板行程之一個方式為量測其貫穿踏板行程之功率。因此,其可分析其踏板行程且努力將其改良。
將感測器平臺安裝於騎自行車鞋中可允許使用者量測貫穿踏板行程施加之功率。通常,更靠近其源(例如,腳)量測之力將比更遠離該源量測之力準確。因此,安裝於曲柄上之感測器將通常比不上安裝於踏板上之感測器準確,安裝於踏板上之感測器將通常比不上安裝於騎自行車鞋之鞋底中之感測器準確。準確度之此降低可至少部分因為當力自鞋轉移至踏板、至曲柄時可出現的損失而出現。因此,藉由將感測器平臺安裝於騎自行車鞋之鞋底中,感測器平臺正收集靠近使用者之腳之準確功率資訊。另外,踏板及曲柄係相對高效地傳輸功率之剛性結構。功率自鞋至踏板之傳輸展現比功率自踏板至曲柄之傳輸大的變化。
在感測器平臺上具有多個感測器可增大收集的功率資訊之準確性及/或量。舉例而言,藉由包括關於一前及兩個後夾板支撐件之力量測結果,可量測施加至夾板與騎自行車鞋之每一接觸點的力,因此使使用者能夠分析在三個夾板支撐件之間的力分佈。類似地,可針對夾板支撐件中之每一者計算彎矩,此可允許使用者或製造者理解能量在自騎自行車鞋轉移至夾板及踏板時是否被浪費。使用此回饋,製造者可針對最佳力轉移及重量分佈將騎自行車鞋之結構最佳化。
類似地,藉由將剪應力感測器置放於兩個後夾板支撐件中,可量測及計算橫向剪應力或在不與曲柄同軸或不與踏板之路徑成切向之一方向上的剪應力。橫向剪力可幫助騎車人理解由其腳作出的橫向或側向動力或力之程度。藉由理解橫向剪力之位置及量值,騎車人可致力於改良其姿勢、其踏板行程,或可鼓勵其找到不同或更好之配合齒輪(諸如,踏板、騎自行車鞋及夾板)。
將感測器置放於感測器平臺之頂部及底部兩者上可允許收集更準確及/或額外讀數。舉例而言,藉由比較來自對置感測器(例如,在感測器平臺之頂部上及底部上之相同位置中的感測器)之量測結果,可減少來自該等感測器之雜訊。另外,具有對置感測器可改良系統之可靠性,因為若一個感測器有故障,資料仍將由一備用感測器收集。
使用的感測器之類型可影響感測器之準確性及功率使用。舉例而言,半橋或全橋應變計感測器可收集較準確之量測結果,但可利用較多功率。
在一些實施例中,感測器可根據一量測速率週期性或定期進行量測。在一些實施例中,量測速率可在具有包括每秒10次量測、每秒50次量測、每秒100次量測、每秒200次量測、每秒300次量測、每秒400次量測、每秒500次量測、每秒600次量測、每秒700次量測、每秒800次量測、每秒900次量測、每秒1000次量測或其間之任何值中之任何者的一上限值、一下限值或上限值及下限值之一範圍中。舉例而言,量測速率可為大於每秒10次量測。在其他實例中,量測速率可為小於每秒1,000次量測。在又其他實例中,量測速率可在每秒10次量測至每秒1,000次量測之一範圍中。較高量測速率可提供功率圖表之較大解析度,但將花費較多功率來收集。
在一些實施例中,由感測器收集之量測結果可轉換至以牛頓(N)來計之力。力乘以以公尺(m)計的施加力所在距離且除以時間間隔將提供以瓦計之功率(W = N m / s)。在一些實施例中,感測器平臺之感測器可經配置以量測在具有包括0 W、50 W、100 W、200 W、400 W、600 W、800 W、1,000 W、1,200 W、1,400 W、1,600 W、1,800 W、2,000 W或其間之任何值中之任何者的一上限值、一下限值或上限值及下限值之一範圍中的騎自行車功率。舉例而言,感測器平臺之感測器可經配置以量測至少400 W之騎自行車功率。經配置以量測至少400 W之騎自行車功率的感測器可準確地量測具有在200 W與300 W之間的持續騎自行車功率的消遣娛樂性騎手之騎自行車功率。在其他實例中,感測器平臺之感測器可經配置以量測至少1,000 W之騎自行車功率。經配置以量測至少1,000 W之騎自行車功率的感測器可準確地量測具有在500 W與1,000 W之間的疾速騎自行車功率的專業性騎手之騎自行車功率。在又其他實例中,感測器平臺之感測器可經配置以量測至少2,000 W之騎自行車功率。經配置以量測至少2,000 W之騎自行車功率的感測器可準確地量測具有超過1,000 W之爆發性騎自行車功率的專業性騎手之騎自行車功率。
感測器平臺曝露於之溫度有變化。藉由安裝針對感測器平臺之具體材料及/或幾何形狀特殊設計、應用及/或製造之感測器,可使熱膨脹及收縮之效應最小化。類似地,感測器可包括僅量測溫度之效應之「虛設」電路,藉此使熱膨脹及收縮之效應最小化。舉例而言,可沿著將經歷有限應變之一軸線定向一虛設電路。騎車人在自極熱(例如,超過40℃)至極冷(例如,低於0℃)之多種條件下騎行,有時在同一自行車騎行內自一個極端改變至另一極端。因此,具有補償溫度之感測器將幫助減少錯誤讀數,且改良感測器之準確性。
在一些實施例中,騎自行車鞋可包括一資料記錄器。以此方式,在自行車騎行期間自感測器收集之資料可在騎行完成後收集及分析。包括一資料記錄器而非一通訊裝置,可減小功率量測系統之重量及/或功率要求。
在其他實施例中,騎自行車鞋可包括一處理器及通訊裝置。由感測器量測之資料可由處理器收集,且經封裝用於經由通訊裝置傳輸至一遠端裝置。可按一傳輸速率傳輸該資料。在一些實施例中,傳輸速率可與量測速率相同。在其他實施例中,傳輸速率可小於量測速率。舉例而言,多次量測可由多個感測器進行,由該處理器收集,且接著經封裝在一起用於傳達至遠端裝置。該遠端裝置可接著取得並處理傳達之資料。處理傳達之資料可包括將收集之原始資料轉換成力及功率。處理傳達之資料亦可包括產生一功率圖表,將訓練資訊傳達至使用者,或將其他資訊傳達至使用者。在一些實施例中,遠端裝置可為智能電話、智能手錶、平板電腦、膝上型或桌上型電腦、自行車電腦、固定自行車控制台或其他遠端裝置。
在一些實施例中,該遠端裝置可與具有具體針對選定使用者之鍛煉常規的使用者設定檔通訊,或存取使用者設定檔。可與本文中描述之原理相容的使用者設定檔資料庫之一實例包括可經由www.ifit.com獲得且經由位於美國猶他州Logan之ICON運動與健康公司(ICON Health and Fitness, Inc.)管理之iFit程式。可與本揭露內容中描述之原理相容的一程式之一實例描述於頒予Paul Hickman之美國專利第7,980,996號中。美國專利第7,980,996號被針對其揭露之所有內容以引用的方式併入本文中。然而,此設定檔資訊可經由含有此資訊之其他類型之程式得到。舉例而言,可自社交媒體網站、部落格(blog)、政府資料庫、私人資料庫、其他來源或其組合搜集此資訊。在一些實例中,可經由使用者設定檔存取之使用者資訊包括可有助於判定用於使用者之適當鍛煉常規的使用者之年齡、性別、身體組成、身高、體重、健康狀況、其他類型之資訊或其組合。經由iFit,此使用者設定檔資訊可對遠端裝置可用。
