Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a direction detection device for a game machine combined exercise bike. The device allows for smooth relative rotation of the bike without any undesired jamming. It also provides a sense of reality for the user, increasing the interesting of using the exercise equipment. The device allows for access and control of a moving direction of a game object, improving the user's capability of reaction and flexibility. The device allows the user to rotate a handlebar in a body balanced condition, improving the result of physical fitness provided by the exercise. Overall, the device provides better user experience and enhances economic value of the exercise equipment."
Problems solved by technology
However, such an arrangement limits the exercise of an upper portion of body and thus lowers the effectiveness of exercise.
Further, such equipments provide only fixed styles of exercises so that these equipments cannot effectively attract to the attention of the general consumers and do not intensively interest people who wish to take exercise for physical fitness.
Since for most users who do exercise with the traditional equipments for physical fitness, the activity of exercise is successively repeated for a great number of times, the users soon get bored and it is hard to persistently do the physical fitness exercise for a long period.
As a consequence, it is hard to obtain an excellent result of physical exercise.

A direction detection device is provided for a game machine combined exercise bike. The direction detection device include a detection module mounted to a direction rotation module composed of a rotatable portion and a fixed portion. The detection module includes a plurality of signal receiver elements and a signal transmitter element, which are operated in a non-contact manner and are allowed for relative rotation with respect to each other. Each signal receiver element has a range of detection. During relative rotation between the signal transmitter element and the signal receiver elements, when the signal transmitter element is moved into the detection range of one of the signal receiver elements, the signal receiver elements detect a positional message of the signal transmitter element, and the signal receiver elements applies the message to a signal processing device of the game machine, which converts the positional message into a direction signal.
Description
(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to physical fitness exercise equipment, and more particularly to a game machine combined exercise bike that has a handlebar incorporating a direction detection device that allows for smooth rotation of the handlebar and detection of the direction of the handlebar for controlling the game machine.(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Physical fitness equipments that are operated by treading include an exercise bike, a treadmill, a climber, an elliptical trainer, and a ski machine. All these equipments are provided with a fixed handrail or handle bar for balance control of a user. However, such an arrangement limits the exercise of an upper portion of body and thus lowers the effectiveness of exercise. Further, such equipments provide only fixed styles of exercises so that these equipments cannot effectively attract to the attention of the general consumers and do not intensively interest people who wish...
