Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This device uses a dynamo attached to the rotating shaft of the stepper body to apply exercise load while charging a smartphone or mobile battery.Based on the values obtained from charging, the built-in app provides target values for the amount of exercise and time required to achieve ideal weight, and the LCD control panel functions are performed by the smartphone. [Background technology]

[0002] Many conventional steppers rely on physical frictional resistance, such as a tightening belt, to provide the load needed to burn calories, and the energy gained from stepping exercise is not utilized for purposes other than calorie consumption. Furthermore, charging smartphones and mobile batteries consumes public electricity and does not conserve energy. Furthermore, existing pedometer apps only calculate the number of steps and distance traveled, and are not intended to help maintain health management by showing the path to an ideal body shape. Furthermore, while a mobile phone charger is proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-87151 (Patent Document 1), it does not incorporate a health management plan that uses the user's calorie consumption data. [Patent Document 1] JP2006-87151 Public Relations DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The kinetic energy generated by exercise is simply consumed, without any secondary use, and the calorie burned value is also used as display data. Smartphones and other devices are also charged separately. Furthermore, even if the exercise machine does not have an LCD panel, the smartphone's LCD screen can be used by connecting it, solving the drawbacks of conventional exercise machines. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The kinetic energy generated by the device is used to charge a smartphone or mobile battery, and the generated power data is used in a health management app to set management and sustainability goals, solving problems from both the energy conservation and health management perspectives.In addition, the device uses less plastic parts such as the LCD display panel of the main body, which leads to energy conservation and a reduction in plastic products. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, steppers with built-in health management apps and mobile charging functions can simultaneously perform exercises that were previously performed independently and charge smartphones, mobile batteries, etc. By effectively utilizing energy generated by human power and managing health while increasing motivation to continue, this can contribute to solving social issues such as energy problems and preventing illness.

Claims

[Claim 1] A generator (dynamo) is attached to the rotating shaft of the stepper body to generate electricity, which is used to charge a smartphone or mobile battery.The amount of electricity calculated as the device charges is used as data for a built-in or downloaded dedicated health management app, and the smartphone itself is used as the LCD panel or control panel for the exercise machine body.This stepper with a built-in mobile charging function calculates the amount of exercise time required to bring the user closer to their desired ideal body shape and weight, and the amount of time required to improve physical strength and muscle strength, based on the basic data of the user's age, weight, and height that have been registered in advance, including the amount of electricity generated per exercise, exercise time, and calculated calorie consumption data.
