Smartphone Capable of Replacing Meter of Electronic Exercise Machine

Abstract

A smartphone capable of replacing a meter of an electronic exercise machine includes a main body, a communication interface, a central processing unit (CPU), and a storage unit. A second man-machine interface and the communication interface are disposed on the main body, in which the communication interface is corresponding to an output terminal of a first man-machine interface of an electronic exercise machine. The CPU is disposed in the main body and is electrically connected to the communication interface. Being driven by an interface application software of the electronic exercise machine, the CPU may correspondingly control the electronic exercise machine, and an operation panel is formed on the second man-machine interface. The storage unit is disposed in the main body and is electrically connected to the CPU. The interface application software corresponding to at least one model of the electronic exercise machine is stored in the storage unit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a smartphone capable of replacing a meter of an electronic exercise machine and particularly to a smartphone provided with a functional interface as a meter applied for electronic exercise machines.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]With People becoming busier and busier in the modern city, how to use time well to take exercise for heath is an important issue must be paid attention. Using a treadmills, a flywheel machine, a rowing machine, a gliding machine or the other exercise machine are widely popular options to take exercise in an efficient way. With reference to FIG. 1, for a user's optimum exercise efficiency and better handling, the conventional exercise machine 1 designed in the current technology comprises an electronic meter indicating each corresponding exercise index and giving each user-friendly service, such as running speed, distance, exercise time and the like.

Benefits of technology

[0016]Regarding the design of the smartphone capable of replacing a meter of an electronic exercise machine, a humanized operation interface is formed by means of software design in the smartphone provided with the CPU, and thus the smartphone, after being connected to the electronic exercise machine, may serve directly as an operation and display panel of the electronic exercise machine. After such a design is promoted and applied, the cost of electronic exercise machine may be significantly lowered, the machine being thereby popular. Besides, replacing the meter on the conventional electronic exercise machine with the smartphone is advantageous to users to update the software and will not cause the whole machine not to work, for example, by the failure of meter. Furthermore, the electronic virtual operation interface easily shows a rich, fine operation menu, attracting users to take exercise and keep fit with its big advantage applied at the time of implementation.

Problems solved by technology

Although the electronic meter 2 provided in the exercise machine 1 designed in the existing technology has many functions, the exercise machine is not common as the price of such exercise machine 1 is quite high, for the users.

Besides, the appearance of the meter 2 does not interest the users, and the software of the electronic meter 2 might be frequently updated or upgraded for providing an optimum, faster or accurate service, as the interface of such electronic meter is not universal, the software update is complicated such that the user must engage a specialist to update the software.

Moreover, if the electronic meter partly malfunctions, the whole machine must be delivered for repairing, such that the maintenance of the electronic machine makes the cost increase and takes more time.
