Description

M247237 捌、新型說明 (新型說明應敘明:新型所屬之技術領域、先前技術、內容、實施方式及圖式簡單說明) 【新型所屬之技術領域】 本創作係與運動健身器材有關,更詳而言之,係關於 一種能依據可攜行之資料元件之資料,而決定運動健身器 材使用狀態之控制系統。 5 【先前技術】 現今在健身房裡常見之中大型運動健身器材,例如跑 步機、健身腳踏車、踏步機……等,其機械控制及操作介 面通常多已電子化、程式化,使用者可直接利用儀錶板上 10 之控制鈕控制器材之運作狀態。以跑步機為例,使用者可 簡單地利用控制鈕調整履帶之繞轉速度以及跑步台之傾斜 角度(較進步者甚至可選擇預設之時程變化),藉以設定跑 步運動之難易度及進行節奏。一般而言,同一使用者對特 定運動通常會習慣某種運作狀態,當狀態設定不符時,運 15 動起來即會感到費力或不自然。此外,少數較進步之運動 健身器材,其中之座椅、扶手等部位之相對距離或相對角 度係可供人以控制鈕加以電動調整,藉以配合個人之身高 體長或姿勢習慣。然而,無論是運作模式或位置關係,由 於健身房之消費者眾多且不特定,當某使用者要使用某運 20 動健身器材時,該器材通常係呈初始狀態或前一位使用者 所設定之狀態,因此,使用者每次要使用器材前均須重新 設定一次,略顯麻煩不便。 再者,現今之運動健身器材大多都能在儀錶板上顯示 使用者當次之運動量(例如跑步之里程數及花費時間),然 續次頁(新型說明頁不敷使用時,請註記並使用續頁) 008219 -4- M247237 新型說明書 而,當電源或儀錶重置(reset)之後,資料即不復存在。因 此,若使用者欲作長時間之運動管理(例如掌控每週或每 月之跑步里程及時間),就必須自行記錄每次之運動量, 如此亦是十分不便。 5 此外,時下之健身房大多採取會員制之消費方式,亦 即消費者繳付預定金額後,即可在某期間内任意使用健身 房内之所有設施。可想而知的,在此種制度下,天天上健 身房使用器材的人即可說是佔了便宜,相對的,偶而才去 一次的人則顯得吃虧。當然,說後者是放棄自己的權利事 10 實上並不公允,因為每個人能運用的時間並不一致,以相 同之期間長度作為收費之標準,絕非理想或唯一之收費模 式。而,採用論次計費(好比會員制下的非會員),亦即每 次進入健身房時需繳付固定之單次費用,亦不見得公平, 理由在於,健身房内之器材佔用狀況時時不同,各使用者 15 對器材之實際使用狀況難以均衡(舉例而言,若某甲進健 身房大多都在使用跑步機,平時運氣好常能充分使用,但 某次卻等候多時才有空機台可供使用,對照之下,某甲該 次支出之費用即顯損失)。總而言之,由於習用之運動健 身器材並無法統計及保留每位使用者之實際使用時間,因 20 此業者難以制定「依實際使用狀況付費」之消費模式供消 費者選擇。 【新型内容】 本創作旨於解決習用運動健身器材之前述各項缺弊, 008220 -5- M247237 新型說明書H頁 主要目的即在提供一種運動健身器材之控制系統,其能得 知每位使用者使用器材之實際狀況,進而掌控各人之使用 權限,藉此提供業者制訂及實施「依實際使用狀況付費」 之消費模式。 5 本創作之另一目的乃在提供一種運動健身器材之控制 系統,其能辨識使用者之身分,自動地將器械之運作模式 或位置關係切換成該使用者預先設定之習慣狀態,不需使 用者每次自行設定,較為便利及人性化。 本創作之再一目的則在提供一種運動健身器材之控制 10 系統,其可掌握並顯示使用者某期間内之總運動量或使用 歷程,且不受隔次使用及他人間插所影響,可方便使用者 作長時間之運動管理。 為達成前揭目的,本創作提供之運動健身器材之控制 系統係包含有:一中央處理單元;一輸入介面,與該中央 15 處理單元連接,可供使用者操作而將特定命令輸入至該中 央處理單元;一輸出介面,與該中央處理單元連接,可受 該中央處理單元控制而顯示特定訊息供使用者觀讀;至少 一讀取裝置,與該中央處理單元連接;至少一資料元件, 可供使用者隨身攜帶,並記錄有可供該讀取裝置讀取之資 20 料;該中央處理單元可透過該讀取裝置判讀該資料元件所 記錄之前述資料,並能依據資料内容送出特定訊號至該運 動健身器材之機械裝置驅動單元,藉以控制運動健身器材 之使用狀態。藉此,各使用者可分別擁有前述資料元件, 在使用運動健身器材時提供資料元件供該讀取裝置讀取資 008221 -6- M247237 新型說明書II胃 ^〜丨丁 Π 了男仔I倒人資 料(例如習慣狀態、使用歷程及總運動量、使用權限等 等),或是㈣料以情代表之❹料分再查對资料 庫而得知個人讀,甚至可在使財”料元件寫入(改 寫)資料,如此即能達成前揭目的。 【實施方式】 一兹配合圖式舉—較佳實施例對本創作之結構及功效進 仃詳細說明,其中所用圖式先簡要說明如下: 第-圖係本創作-較佳實施例之單元示意圖;

The mechanical control and operation interfaces are usually electronic and programmed, and users can use them directly. The 10 control buttons on the instrument panel control the operating status of the equipment. Taking the treadmill as an example, the user can simply use the control buttons to adjust the revolving speed of the crawler track and the tilting angle of the treadmill (more advanced people can even choose a preset time course change) to set the difficulty and performance of running Rhythm. Generally speaking, the same user is usually accustomed to a certain operating state for a specific exercise. When the state settings do not match, the exercise will feel laborious or unnatural. In addition, the relative distances or angles of a few of the more advanced sports fitness equipment, such as seats and armrests, can be adjusted electrically using control buttons to match the height, length, or posture of individuals. However, regardless of the operation mode or location relationship, because there are many and unspecified consumers in the gym, when a user wants to use a certain exercise equipment, the equipment is usually in the initial state or set by the previous user. Status, therefore, the user must reset it every time before using the equipment, which is slightly inconvenient. In addition, most of today's sports fitness equipment can display the user's current exercise amount (such as running mileage and time spent) on the dashboard, but the continuation page (when the new instruction page is insufficient, please note and use (Continued) 008219 -4- M247237 The new manual does not exist when the power supply or meter is reset. Therefore, if the user wants to do long-term exercise management (for example, to control the running mileage and time of each week or month), it is necessary to record each exercise amount by himself, which is also very inconvenient. 5 In addition, most gyms today use a membership-based consumption method, that is, after consumers pay a predetermined amount, they can use all the facilities in the fitness room for any period of time. It is conceivable that under this system, people who use equipment in the fitness room every day can be said to have taken advantage. In contrast, people who go once in a while are disadvantaged. Of course, it is not fair to say that the latter is a waiver of their rights. 10 Because the time available to each person is not consistent, the same period length is used as the standard for charging. It is by no means an ideal or sole charging model. On the other hand, the use of on-time billing (such as non-members under the membership system), which means that each time you enter the gym, you need to pay a fixed single fee, which is not necessarily fair. The reason is that the equipment in the gym is different from time to time. , Each user 15 is difficult to balance the actual use of the equipment (for example, if most of a gymnasium is using a treadmill, usually good luck can often be fully used, but some time wait for a long time before there is an empty machine It can be used. In contrast, the expenses of a certain person will be significantly lost). In a word, since the used sports equipment cannot count and retain the actual usage time of each user, it is difficult for the industry to formulate a consumption model of "paying according to actual usage conditions" for consumers to choose. [New content] This creation aims to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of conventional sports fitness equipment. 008220 -5- M247237 The main purpose of page H of the new manual is to provide a control system for sports fitness equipment, which can know each user. The actual status of the equipment used, and then control of each person's use rights, so as to provide operators to formulate and implement a "pay according to actual usage status" consumption model. 5 Another purpose of this creation is to provide a control system for sports fitness equipment that can identify the identity of the user and automatically switch the operating mode or positional relationship of the device to the user's preset habitual state without the need to use It is convenient and user-friendly to set it each time. Another purpose of this creation is to provide a control system for sports fitness equipment, which can grasp and display the user's total exercise volume or use history within a certain period, and is not affected by repeated use and intervening by others, which can be convenient Users perform long-term exercise management. In order to achieve the purpose of the previous disclosure, the control system of the sports fitness equipment provided by this creation includes: a central processing unit; an input interface connected to the central 15 processing unit, which can be operated by the user to input specific commands to the central A processing unit; an output interface connected to the central processing unit, which can be controlled by the central processing unit to display specific information for viewing by the user; at least one reading device connected to the central processing unit; at least one data element, which can It is provided for users to carry with them, and records the data that can be read by the reading device; the central processing unit can judge the aforementioned data recorded by the data element through the reading device, and can send specific signals according to the data content To the mechanical device driving unit of the exercise fitness equipment, thereby controlling the use state of the exercise fitness equipment. In this way, each user can own the aforementioned data element, and provide the data element for the reading device to read data when using sports fitness equipment. 008221 -6- M247237 New Manual II Stomach ^ ~ 丨 丁 Π The boy I fell Data (such as habitual status, usage history, total exercise volume, usage rights, etc.), or data that is represented by sentiment, and then check the database to learn that the individual can read it, and can even write it in the material component (Rewrite) the materials, so that the previous disclosure purpose can be achieved. [Implementation Modes] A detailed description of the structure and effects of this creation will be given in conjunction with the schematic drawing—the preferred embodiment will be briefly explained as follows: Section- The drawing is a schematic diagram of the unit of the present invention-the preferred embodiment; the second picture is the present invention-outside the meter in the preferred embodiment and the third picture is the benwong-a portable appearance of difficult to implement wealth.
