Intelligent vehicle meter

Intelligent vehicle meter description/claims

The present invention relates to an exercise auxiliary apparatus and particularly to an exercise auxiliary apparatus that actively changes use intensity of an exercise equipment by measuring the physiological conditions and exercise intensity of exercisers.

People doing exercise on moving exercise equipment such as bicycles often are prone to over stress the body due to not fully understand their physiological conditions and the intensity of the exercise. It could be harmful to the health of the exerciser. Moreover, outdoor exercises often encounter a wide variety of environments, such as uphill or downhill terrains. The exerciser who overstresses his/her body could be not able to take proper measures or contingent actions in response to the environments and expose to additional risks of exercise.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,945,940 discloses a contact type pulse measurement device to measure the physiological conditions of an exerciser to keep the exercisers informed of their physiological conditions. However, if the exerciser does not properly change the use intensity of the moving exercise equipment according to his/her physiological conditions and exercise intensity the efficacy of the exercise diminishes. The benefit of the exercise decreases.

Therefore the primary object of the present invention is to provide a means to enable people to change use intensity of exercise equipment according to their physiological conditions and exercise intensity.

Another object of the invention is to provide a means that not only can change use intensity of exercise equipment also is portable and can be carried by an exerciser as a pedometer.

The present invention provides an intelligent vehicle meter to be installed on a moving exercise equipment. It has a measurement module to measure the physiological conditions of an exerciser, and an accelerometer module to measure acceleration and perform conversion to get alterations of total mechanical energy, thereby to derive the exercise intensity of the exerciser. Then through processing of an associative processing unit and a signal processing unit, use intensity of the exercise equipment can be changed through a control module according to the physiological conditions and exercise intensity. The intelligent vehicle meter of the invention also can be detached to become portable and be carried by the exerciser to count the number of walking steps through change of acceleration.

The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
