[0015] Some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the component symbols cited in the following description, when the same component symbols appear in different drawings, they will be regarded as the same or similar components. These embodiments are only a part of the present invention and do not disclose all the implementable ways of the present invention. More precisely, these embodiments are only examples in the claims of the present invention. The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of a fitness system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 which is a schematic diagram of a magnetic field disk according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fitness system 10 includes a weight device 100 and an electronic device 200. The weight device 100 can be a fitness equipment such as an assembled dumbbell or barbell. The electronic device 200 can be other portable electronic devices or wearable electronic devices such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, etc.

[0017] In this embodiment, the weight device 100 includes bar plates L1 to L6, a grip shaft 110, a magnetic field disk 120, and a magnetic field sensor 130. The grip shaft 110 is operated to be rotated along the central axis of the grip shaft 110, so as to adjust the number of bar plates L1 to L6 engaged. For example, the grip shaft 110 includes an engaging portion 111. The engaging portion 111 has a plurality of engaging mechanisms (not shown) corresponding to the bar plates L1 to L6. The engaging portion 111 increases or decreases the number of bar plates L1 to L6 engaged based on the angle by which the grip shaft 110 is rotated. In this embodiment, the grip shaft 110 is rotated in the first direction D1 to increase the number of bar plates L1 to L6 engaged by the grip shaft 110. The grip shaft 110 is rotated in the second direction D2 to decrease the number of bar plates L1 to L6 engaged by the grip shaft 110. The second direction D2 is opposite to the first direction D1.

[0018] The weight value of the weight device 100 is equal to the sum of the first weight value of the grip shaft 110 and the second weight value of the bar plates L1 to L6 engaged.

[0019] In this embodiment, the magnetic field disk 120 is disposed on the holding shaft 110. For example, the magnetic field disk 120 is sleeved and fixed on the holding shaft 110. When the holding shaft 110 is rotated, the magnetic field disk 120 will also be rotated. The magnetic field disk 120 provides the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3. The polarities of the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 are different from the polarities of the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3. In other words, the polarities of the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 are opposite to the polarities of the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3. In this embodiment, the polarities of the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 are south poles. The polarities of the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 are north poles. The positions of the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the positions of the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 are alternately arranged in the first direction D1. For example, the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 are established on the disk surface of the magnetic field disk 120. In the first direction D1, the first-polarity magnetic field M1_1, the second-polarity magnetic field M2_1, the first-polarity magnetic field M1_2, the second-polarity magnetic field M2_2, the first-polarity magnetic field M1_3, and the second-polarity magnetic field M2_3 are established in sequence. The positions of the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the positions of the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 are related to the multiple positions where the holding shaft 110 engages with the lever pieces L1 to L6. The first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 can be implemented by magnets respectively.

[0020] In this embodiment, the magnetic field sensor 130 senses the magnetic field on the magnetic field disk 120. The position of the magnetic field sensor 130 is fixed at a position and senses the magnetic field located on the disk surface of the magnetic field disk 120. When the holding shaft 110 is rotated, the magnetic field sensor 130 increases or decreases the weight value of the weight device 100 according to the magnetic field polarity change experienced. That is, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated, the number of lever pieces L1 to L6 engaged by the holding shaft 110 will be adjusted. In addition, the magnetic field sensor 130 provides a weight value according to the magnetic field polarity change experienced by the magnetic field sensor 130 itself. In this way, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated, the weight device 100 can provide a weight value immediately. In addition, the electronic device 200 communicates with the weight device 100 to receive the weight value and displays the weight value. Therefore, the user can immediately view the weight value of the weight device 100 by using the electronic device 200. In this way, the present invention can improve the convenience of use of the weight device 100. In this embodiment, the magnetic field sensor 130 can be implemented by a Hall sensor.

[0021] It should be noted that in this embodiment, only the magnetic field sensor 130 is used to sense the change in magnetic field polarity to increment or decrement the weight value. This embodiment does not require encoding multiple positions or rotation angles on the magnetic field disk 120, nor does it require installing sensing elements on the lever pieces L1 to L6. In this way, this embodiment provides a weight value marking mechanism with extremely low cost.

[0022] For ease of explanation, the number of magnetic fields and the number of lever pieces in this embodiment are taken as six respectively. The number of magnetic fields and the number of lever pieces of the present invention can be multiple respectively, and are not limited to this embodiment. The present invention is not limited to the shape of the lever pieces and the meshing / disengaging mechanism.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated to the initial position, the weight value is initialized. For example, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated along the second direction D2, the weight value will be decremented. When the holding shaft 110 is rotated to the initial position, the weight value will be initialized to be equal to the first weight value (i.e., the weight of the holding shaft 110 itself).

[0024] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a method flowchart of a weight value marking method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the weight value marking method is applicable to the fitness system 10. In step S110, the magnetic field disk 120 provides a plurality of first polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and a plurality of second polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3. The positions of the first polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the positions of the second polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 are alternately arranged in the first direction D1. In step S120, the holding shaft 110 is rotated to adjust the number of lever pieces L1 to L6 engaged by the holding shaft 110. In step S130, the magnetic field sensor 130 increments or decrements the weight value according to the change in magnetic field polarity experienced by the magnetic field sensor 130 itself. In step S140, the weight value is received by the electronic device 200 and the weight value is displayed. The implementation details of steps S110 to S140 can be sufficiently taught by the embodiments of Figure 1 and Figure 2 and will not be repeated here.

[0025] The implementation details of step S130 will be further described below.

[0026] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 。 Figure 4 is Figure 3Method flowchart of the step of rotating the holding shaft to adjust the number of bar pieces engaged by the holding shaft. In this embodiment, step S130 includes steps S131 to S135. In step S131, when the holding shaft 110 rotates from the initial position in the first direction D1, and the magnetic field sensor 130 senses the first magnetic field among the first-polarity magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 and the second-polarity magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3, that is, the first-polarity magnetic field M1_1. Next, the magnetic field sensor 130 will enter the increasing mode in step S132 to increase the weight value. Therefore, after completing step S131, the magnetic field sensor 130 will first enter the increasing mode.

[0027] For example, the weight value of the holding shaft 110 and the weight values of the bar pieces L1 to L6 are each 2 kg. When the holding shaft 110 is in the initial position, the weight value is the weight value of the holding shaft 110, that is, 2 kg. In step S131, when the holding shaft 110 rotates from the initial position in the first direction D1, the holding shaft 110 engages with the bar piece L1. The magnetic field disk 120 is rotated by the holding shaft 110, so that the magnetic field sensor 130 senses the first-polarity magnetic field M1_1. Therefore, in step S132, the magnetic field sensor 130 will enter the increasing mode to increase the weight value by 2 kg for the first time. Thus, the weight value becomes 4 kg.

[0028] In step S133, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated, the magnetic field sensor 130 in the increasing mode will determine whether different-polarity magnetic fields are continuously sensed. When the magnetic field sensor 130 continuously senses different-polarity magnetic fields, the currently increasing-mode magnetic field sensor 130 will increase the weight value again in step S132. For example, the magnetic field sensor 130 senses the first-polarity magnetic field M1_1 in step S131 and the second-polarity magnetic field M2_3 in step S133. This means that the holding shaft 110 rotates in the first direction D1 and engages with the bar pieces L1 and L2. Therefore, the currently increasing-mode magnetic field sensor 130 will increase the weight value to 6 kg.

[0029] On the other hand, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated, if the magnetic field sensor 130 in the increasing mode continuously senses a magnetic field of the same polarity (i.e., "no"), the magnetic field sensor 130 will enter the decreasing mode in step S134 to decrease the weight value. For example, the magnetic field sensor 130 senses a magnetic field M1_1 of the first polarity in step S131 and a magnetic field of the same polarity as the magnetic field M1_1 of the first polarity in step S133. Based on the positional relationship between the magnetic fields M1_1 to M1_3 of the first polarity and the magnetic fields M2_1 to M2_3 of the second polarity, this indicates that the magnetic field sensor 130 continuously senses the magnetic field M1_1 of the first polarity. That is, the holding shaft 110 rotates in the second direction D2 and disengages from the disengaging lever piece L1. Therefore, the magnetic field sensor 130 currently in the increasing mode will enter the decreasing mode to reduce the weight value from 4 kg to 2 kg.

[0030] In step S135, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated, the magnetic field sensor 130 in the decreasing mode will determine whether it continuously senses magnetic fields of different polarities. When the magnetic field sensor 130 continuously senses magnetic fields of different polarities, the magnetic field sensor 130 currently in the decreasing mode will decrease the weight value again in step S134. For example, the magnetic field sensor 130 in the decreasing mode first senses the magnetic field M1_3 of the first polarity and then senses the magnetic field M2_3 of the second polarity. Therefore, the magnetic field sensor 130 currently in the decreasing mode will decrease the weight value again.

[0031] It should be noted here that the magnetic field sensor 130 senses the earlier magnetic field among two consecutive magnetic fields in the first mode and senses the later magnetic field among two consecutive magnetic fields in the second mode. The first mode may be different from the second mode. Therefore, in some cases, the magnetic field sensor 130 may continuously sense two magnetic fields of the same polarity or different polarities in different modes. In this embodiment, only the current mode when the later magnetic field among two consecutive magnetic fields is sensed is judged, without considering the previous mode when the earlier magnetic field among two consecutive magnetic fields is sensed.

[0032] On the other hand, when the holding shaft 110 is rotated, if the magnetic field sensor 130 continuously senses a magnetic field of the same polarity (i.e., "no"), the magnetic field sensor 130 currently in the decreasing mode will enter the increasing mode in step S132 to increase the weight value.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , Figure 5It is a circuit block diagram of a counterweight device shown according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the circuit architecture of the counterweight device 100 includes a magnetic field sensor 130 and a motion sensor 140. The motion sensor 140 senses the displacement operation and the rotation operation of the grip shaft 110 to provide operation data associated with the displacement operation and the rotation operation. The electronic device 200 communicates with the counterweight device 100 to receive the operation data. In this embodiment, the motion sensor 140 can be an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with multi-axis (such as 6-axis or 9-axis) dynamic sensing function.

[0034] In this embodiment, the counterweight device 100 further includes a battery 150, a processor 160, and a communication unit 170. The battery 150 can supply power to the magnetic field sensor 130, the motion sensor 140, the processor 160, and the communication unit 170. The communication unit 170 of this embodiment is disposed inside the processor 160. The processor 160 receives the weight value, the operation data, and the battery power information of the battery 150, and controls the communication unit 170 to provide the weight value, the operation data, and the power information to the electronic device 200. Therefore, the electronic device 200 can obtain the weight value, the operation data, and the power information. In addition, the processor 160 can also perform pairing settings with the electronic device 200 through the communication unit 170.

[0035] In some embodiments, the communication unit 170 can be disposed outside the processor 160.

[0036] In this embodiment, the electronic device 200 will carry an application program. The application program will provide a fitness course suitable for the counterweight device 100. The fitness course will specify the operating weight, the operating actions, and the number of operations of the counterweight device 100. For example, the user learns the operating weight, the operating actions, and the number of operations specified by the fitness course through the application program. Therefore, the user can operate the counterweight device 100 according to the operating weight, the operating actions, and the number of operations.

[0037] During the user's operation of the counterweight device 100, the magnetic field sensor 130 senses the polarity change of the magnetic field M to provide the weight value of the counterweight device 100. The motion sensor 140 senses operation data such as the displacement operation and rotation operation of the grip shaft 110. The processor 160 controls the communication unit 170 to provide the weight value and operation data to the electronic device 200. Therefore, the application program of the electronic device 200 can obtain the weight value and operation data. The application program determines whether the weight value conforms to the operation weight specified in the fitness course and whether the operation data conforms to the operation actions specified in the fitness course. When the weight value conforms to the operation weight specified in the fitness course and the operation data conforms to the operation actions specified in the fitness course, it indicates that the user does indeed operate the counterweight device 100 in accordance with the fitness course and completes a single operation action. Therefore, the application program counts the completed operation actions. Once the count of the operation actions reaches the number of operations, the fitness course ends.

[0038] On the other hand, when the weight value does not conform to the operation weight specified in the fitness course and / or the operation data does not conform to the operation actions specified in the fitness course, the application program does not count the completed operation actions and issues a corresponding warning.

[0039] In addition, the application program also records the fitness history associated with the user's operation of the counterweight device 100.

[0040] It is worth mentioning here that during the operation of the counterweight device 100, the user can use the application program of the electronic device 200 to know whether the weight value and the operation method conform to the specifications of the fitness course. In addition, the user does not need to calculate the weight value and the number of operations by themselves. In this way, the fitness system 10 can improve the user's experience of using the counterweight device 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, the application program can also display the current battery level of the battery 150. When the current battery level of the battery 150 is lower than a threshold, the application program provides a corresponding warning to remind the user.

[0042] In addition, when the application program is enabled, the application program prompts the user to rotate the grip shaft 110 back to the initial position to initialize the weight value.

[0043] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have at least one of the following advantages or effects. The present invention only uses a magnetic field sensor to sense the change in the magnetic field polarity to increase or decrease the weight value. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to encode multiple positions or rotation angles on the magnetic field disk, nor is it necessary to install sensing elements on the bar piece. In this way, the present invention provides a weight value marking mechanism with extremely low cost. The user can view the weight value of the counterweight device using an electronic device. In this way, the present invention can improve the convenience of using the counterweight device. In addition, the application program of the electronic device will provide fitness courses. During the operation of the counterweight device, the user can use the application program of the electronic device to know whether the weight value and the operation method conform to the specifications of the fitness course. The user also does not need to calculate the number of operations by himself. In this way, the fitness system can improve the user's feeling of using the counterweight device.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. That is, all simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the content of the specification of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention. In addition, any embodiment or claim of the present invention does not need to achieve all the purposes, advantages or features disclosed by the present invention.
