AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a controlling device for electronic device usage control. The device makes a connection between an exercise device and an electronic device, like a game console, to control its usage. The device records the exercise mode of the exercise device, like the duration and frequency of use, and converts it into an operation record. This record is then used as a condition to turn on the electronic device and control its usage. This encourages the user to use the exercise device and prolongs their exercise time. The controlling device also helps to change or correct the user's behavior by reducing their usage of the electronic device after the exercise.

Problems solved by technology

If things continue this way, as a natural result of the human nature of indolence, the person is likely to suffer from physical problems due to lack of exercise.
However, one tends to fail in fulfilling such solution when merely relying on mental motive and self-encouragement.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]While a preferred embodiment is provided herein for illustrating the concept of the present invention as described above, it is to be understood that the components in these drawings are made for better explanation and need not to be made in scale. Moreover, in the following description, resemble components are indicated by the same numerals.

[0015]Referring to FIG. 1, a controlling device 30 for electronic device usage control is shown. The controlling device 30 serves to makes an operational correlation between at least one apparatus 10 capable of generating an exercise mode and at least one electronic device 20. The apparatus 10 may include various exercise apparatus and devices for detecting human movement. Exercise apparatus applicable to the present invention are those suitable for domestic installation and use, such as treadmills, exercise bikes, steppers and so on. The devices for detecting human movement may refer to pedometers. The controlling device 30 converts infor...

Abstract

A controlling device for electronic device usage control converts a user's operation of an exercise apparatus into an operation record and controls the condition of on / off of an electronic device according to the operation record.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention related to a controlling device that makes an operational correlation between an apparatus capable of generating an exercise mode and an electronic device. More particularly, in the present invention, only when the apparatus has been operated by a user of the electronic device for an operation duration and frequency reaching predetermined thresholds, power of the electronic device is turned on and the electronic device is allowed to work for a corresponding working period.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]One of the known approaches to change or correct some certain human behavior is to interconnect the certain behavior with another behavior that is positive and take a record of performance of the positive behavior as a necessary condition of performance of this certain behavior. Hereinafter, human behavior of using entertainment electronic devices is taken as an example for illustration of the afo...
