Fitness equipment meter display storage

Fitness equipment meter display storage description/claims

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a fitness equipment meter apparatus, and more particularly to a meter apparatus having an AV OUT component that works with any AV IN display device available in the market for displaying exercise statuses, and the meter has a USB socket for storing exercise data anywhere, analyzing the data in a personal computer and communicating with a trainer via network.

2. Description of the Related Art

Since present fitness equipments such as treadmills and fitness bikes are not restricted by outdoor environments and exercisers can obtain the required exercise and fitness effect through the fitness equipments, therefore these fitness equipments become very popular.

The fitness equipment basically includes related electronic control elements such as sensors for detecting exercise data of speed, mileage and heartbeat, etc, inputting the data into a meter 10 and displaying the data on a small LCD panel 11 as shown in FIG. 1, so as to achieve the effect of displaying a user's exercise volume and physical conditions.

Further, most present fitness equipments come with an application of a magnetic control resistance load device which has a function similar to a variable speed used for changing the resistance for the jogging or stepping exercise to meet the physical fitness of different users, so as to achieve the best exercise status and display the resistance of the exercise on the small LCD panel 11.

However, the size of the small LCD panel 11 on the meter 10 is very small, and users have to lower their head to view the meter 10 inconveniently during the exercise, and thus such fitness equipment cannot be used for many other applications due to the limitation of their display mechanism. Obviously, the poor display mechanism of the prior art fitness equipment requires improvements.

Therefore, it is a primary object of the invention to provide a fitness equipment meter display storage apparatus, and its meter has an AV OUT control element that can operate with any large display having an AV IN display device, so that a user can know about the exercise and the overall physiological condition while doing exercises and make adjustments anytime to achieve the best exercise effect.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a fitness equipment meter display storage apparatus, and its meter has a USB socket for storing exercise data, carrying the exercise data anywhere, analyzing the data in a personal computer, or interacting with a trainer/doctor via a network, so as to perform a complete analysis and evaluation to achieve the bidirectional communication effect.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, a fitness equipment meter display storage apparatus in accordance with the invention includes:

a) a fitness equipment body; and

b) a meter installed on a frame at the front of the fitness equipment body and having a button/signal input unit disposed on a surface of the meter for transmitting a signal to an internal microprocessor; characterized in that the meter comprises: i) a microprocessor MCU installed in the meter and having a power supply unit for supplying required electric power; ii) an AV OUT control element coupled to the microprocessor for outputting the data of the microprocessor by audio and video signals; and iii) a large display device having an AV IN control element and coupled to the AV OUT control element of the meter by an AV signal line for displaying the exercise status of a user.
