Problems solved by technology

When users make settings, because there are no appropriate instructions on the console, the setting process is not clear, and there are many buttons and complicated arrangements, which often make users at a loss as to how to set the operation mode and parameters in the correct way

On the other hand, there are many buttons on the console, which also increases the cost of product parts and assembly during production

Other forms of consoles, such as U.S. Patent No. 5,104,120, can adjust the resistance or speed of exercise equipment with the rotation of a control knob, but can only control a single parameter in a single mode

However, the U.S. Patent No. 5,383,826 can set various parameters such as heart rate, heat, distance, time, speed, etc. by rotating and pressing a control button, but there is only one operation mode, and there are no presets. There are several operation modes for users to choose
