Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to a color indicating system, particularly to one including different color combinations indicated by colored LED of a color indicator having plural colored LED or an LCD. So a user can understand his/her own body condition from the different color combinations of the lit-up colored LED during exercising so that an exerciser and a fitness appliance or machine may have good communications with each other. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Conventional fitness equipment may have a LED or LCD indicator for showing a numerical figure for letting an exerciser to understand his/her bodily condition and capability during exercising. Nevertheless, users (or exercisers) may not fully make out what the numerical figures indicate or represent, so the numerical figures lose its value. Thus the fitness equipment cannot be fully utilized by a user. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] The purpose of the invention is to offer a color indicating system, which includes different color combinations by lit-up colored lamps (LED) for representing different body capabilities (such as heartbeat) of a user during exercise so that the user can adjust the fitness equipment to suit to his/her exercise according to the color indicating system. [0006] The feature of the invention is a color indicating system carried out by a color indicator, which includes a plurality of colored lamps such as LED. The indication of the colored LED is controlled by the physical capability of an exerciser during exercising on a fitness appliance or machine so different combinations of colored lit-up LED show that the physical capability is insufficient or too excessive. Then the exerciser can understand his/her own physical condition during exercising on the fitness appliance or machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS [0007] This invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein: [0008] FIG. 1 is a front view of a first embodiment of a color indicator in the present invention; and, [0009] FIG. 2 is a side view of a second embodiment of a color indicator in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0010] A first embodiment of a color indicator in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, is composed of a plurality of LED (light emitting diode), a white colored one (W), two yellow colored ones (Y1) and (Y2), a green one (G) and two red colored ones (R1) and (R2), that is, four kinds of colored LED. The different conditions of the user's heart beat (HR) representing the physical capability are indicated by different color combinations of these LED of four different colors lit up. An exerciser wears a heartbeat meter in making exercise, and the heartbeat meter is connected to a controller of a fitness appliance or machine (by means of a wireless transmitter) and the controller controls the color indicator to light up different combinations of the LED according to the heartbeat (HR) checked out. Then the color indication system employed by the color indicator is shown as below. [0011] 1. The color combinations indicate different exercise values (heartbeat (HR)) as follows. [0012] 1-1. The white LED (W) lit up indicates HR<60. [0013] 1-2. The white LED (W) lit up and flashing indicates 60= or <HR<70. [0014] 1-3. The yellow LED (Y1) lit up indicates 70= and <HR<80. [0015] 1-4. The yellow LED (Y1) lit up and flashing indicates 80=or <HR<90. [0016] 1-5. The yellow LED (Y2) lit up indicates 90= or <HR<100. [0017] 1-6. The yellow LED (Y2) lit up and flashing indicates 100= or <HR<110 [0018] 1-7. The green LED (G1) lit up indicates 110= or <HR<120. [0019] 1-8. The green LED (G!) lit up and flashing indicates 120= or <HR<130 [0020] And so on in the same way. When the HR (heartbeat) surpasses 190 bmp, all the LED flash. [0021] 2. Different combinations of the LED are used to indicate different physical capabilities during exercising on a fitness appliance or machine as follows. [0022] 2-1. The white LED (W) lit up indicates not-yet exercising condition. [0023] 2-2. The yellow LED (Y1, Y2) lit up indicate insufficient exercising. [0024] 2-3 The green LED (G1, G2, G3) lit up indicate proper exercising, especially the second green one (G2) being the most proper. [0025] 2-4. The red LED (R1, R2) lit up indicate excessive exercising. [0026] 2-5. All the LED lit up and flashing indicate dangerous exercising. [0027] Next, FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a color indicator 2, which includes a red (R), a green (G) and a blue (B) LED of three kinds of colors. [0028] 1. The color combinations of the LED indicate the value of the exercising (HR) of a user as follows. [0029] 1-1. The white (W), the green (G) and the blue (B) LED all lit up indicate HR<60. [0030] 1-2. The yellow color by (R+G) LED lit up indicates 60= or <HR<80. [0031] 1-3. The blue-green color by (G+B) LED indicates 80= or <HR<100. [0032] 1-4. The green color by (G) LED indicates 100= or <HR<120. [0033] 1-5. The blue color by (B) LED indicates 120= or <HR<140. [0034] 1-6. The violet color by (R+G) LED indicate 120= or <HR<140. [0035] 1-7. The red color by (R) LED indicates 160= or <HR<180. [0036] 1-8. The red color by (R) LED lit up and flashing indicates 180= or <HR<200. Continue reading...
