Twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine

Abstract

A twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine, primarily configured to comprise a circular shaped upper and lower cover. Concentric slide tracks of differing diameter are configured on the upper and lower cover thereof, and a magnetic spring switch and magnet are further configured on the upper and lower cover, which are utilized to sense twisting motions of the twist disc. Furthermore, a processing circuit is configured within the twist disc, whereby the processing circuit receives signals from thw twisting motions, and in accordance with status of the twisting motions calculates accumulated number of twisting motions, and outputs such so as to display on a L.C.D. or controls sound and music output to accompany the twisting motions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine, and more particularly to the twist disc providing functionality that allows a user to stand atop the twist disc and twist thereon, thereby achieving effectiveness of an exercise routine, as well as having capability to display and vocalize sound data related to the exercise routine including number of times a twisting motion has occured, time, and so on. [0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0004] In recent years, because multitude of people are attachng comparatively greater importance to keeping good care of their health, therefore appropriate exercise has become extremely important. However, because of work commitments in present industrial and commercial society, and scarcity of suitable areas to exercise, indoor exercise has thus been highly welcomed. Hence, invention of a ...

Benefits of technology

[0009] a microprocessing unit, a meter unit, a display unit, a sound circuit, and a speaker. Wherein the microprocessing unit receives signals from the twisting motions, and in accordance with settings of switches adds up time, number, speed and computes calorific value consumed from continuous twisting motions, as well as controlling output of sound, music and the display unit. Several switches are enabled for setting of modes, and upon setting, messages are transmitted to the microprocessing unit. The meter unit provides functionality to sense signals from the twisting motions, whereupon the signals are transmitted to the microprocessing unit, which comprises the magnetic spring switch and the magnet. The display unit displays previous related data or best accomplishments. The sound circuit is included in the microprocessing unit, and in accordance with number of twisting motions accumulated by the microprocessing unit, the microprocessing unit controls the sound circuit output of a sound signal to the speaker, whereupon, in accordance with continuous signals received by the microprocessing unit from the twisting motions, sustained music signals are outputted to the speaker. The speaker is thus a unit configured to broadcast music, and vocalize the number of twisting motions, and so on. Accordingly, the aforementioned structural design of the twist disc according to the present invention realizes a more enjoyable exercise routinr, as well as providing the user with a sense of achievement.

Problems solved by technology

However, present twist discs are designed purely for purpose of exercise, and have no function that provides a user with clear understanding of relevant data related to an exercise routine (such as number of twisting motions, time, and so on), and moreover makes the exercise routine wearisome and uninteresting.

The conventional twist disc is thus clearly unideal.
