Benefits of technology

[0006]In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a wearable device that provides consistency as computing exercise performances of a user.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the history of exercise is not able to be effectively recorded if the user performed different types of exercise in different locations, or if the exercise equipment of different manufactures were applied with distinct formats of exercise data.
In addition, if the trainer prescribes an elliptical machine for exercise and there is no elliptical machine available at the time, the user may not be able to exercise according to the prescription of the trainer.
In the second method for exercise evaluation, it is inconvenient for the user if performing indoor exercise while the fitness wristband is for outdoor exercises and cannot connect to the exercise equipment, leading to the problem of incapable of integrating the exercise data of both indoor and outdoor exercises for further analysis.

first embodiment

[0027]Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a block diagram of a wearable device in accordance with the present invention. As shown in the figure, a wearable device 100 for use in various exercise types, applied as user exercises, comprises a storage unit 10, at least one physiological data sensing unit 20, at least one movement sensing unit 30, an input display unit 40 and a processing unit 50. The storage unit 10 may be a physical memory. The at least one physiological data sensing unit 20 may be a heart rate sensor, a blood pressure sensor, an oximeter, a respiration sensor, a body magnetic field sensor or body temperature sensor. The input display unit 40 may be a touch screen. The at least one movement sensing unit 30 may be a gyroscope, a force sensor or a triaxial accelerometer. The processing unit 50 may be a microcontroller (MCU) or a central processing unit (CPU) and electrically connected to the storage unit 10, the at least one physiological data sensing unit 20, the input di...

third embodiment

[0039]Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic view of a wearable device in accordance with the present invention. Please also refer to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the wearable device 100 comprises a portable mobile device 101 and a movement sensing unit 30. Wherein, the portable mobile device 101 may be an embedded system and dispose on arms of the user. The portable mobile device 101 may comprise a storage unit 10, a physiological data sensing unit 20, an input display unit 40 and a processing unit 50. The physiological data sensing unit 20 tightly attaches to the skin of the user 70 to measure a physiological data 21 from the user 70, and the movement sensing unit 30 measures a movement data 31 from the user 70.

[0040]When the user 70 exercise on a treadmill 81, the exercise type of “treadmill 81” may be input via the input display unit 40. At this point, the processing unit 50 may search for an exercise evaluating algorithm 12 corresponding to the “treadmill 81” in the storag...

fourth embodiment

[0041]Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic view of a wearable device in accordance with the present invention. Please also refer to FIGS. 2-3, in this embodiment, the user 70 may set up an exercise plan of exercising on a treadmill 81 and a bicycle 82 through the wearable device 100. For example, the user 70 may input an exercising period, an exercising intensity or expected calories consumed of the treadmill 81 and the bicycle 82, respectively, via the input display unit 40. When performing the two exercises, the wearable device 100 according to the present invention may be applied to compute the exercise performances 51 of the user 70. Wherein, the switch between the two exercises may be manually switched via the input display unit 40 or automatically switched by the processing unit 50. The way of switch has been described in the previous embodiments and will not further describe herein.

Abstract

A wearable device used in various exercise types. The wearable device includes a storage unit, at least one physiological data sensing unit, at least one movement sensing unit, an input display unit and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of default exercise types and their corresponding exercise evaluating algorithms. The at least one physiological data sensing unit measures a physiological data from a user. The at least one movement sensing unit measures a movement data from the user. The input display unit is used to select at least one exercise types from the plurality of default exercise types by the user. By setting the physiological data, the movement data or the combination thereof as input parameters of the exercise evaluating algorithm, the processing unit can real-time compute an exercise performance when the user carries out the at least one selected exercise type.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a wearable device, particularly to a wearable device which may be applied to different exercise type and may record exercise history.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]There are two common methods for exercise evaluation now. The first one is to evaluate the exercising performance by the exercise data generated by the exercise equipment. For example, when a user exercise on a treadmill, the calories consumed by the user may be calculated according to speed, time, slope and distance detected or measured by the treadmill. Furthermore, smartphones or tablets may be connected to the exercise equipment, and the APPs therein may be used to control the exercise equipment and to show and record the exercise performance of the user. The second one is that the user wears a wearable device, such as fitness wristband, so as to evaluate or to measure the exercise data when running.[0005]How...
