Portable Control Panel for Sport Equipment Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fixed electronic control panels on sport equipment are inconvenient as they require users to re-enter data and exercise on the same equipment, leading to boredom and a lack of adaptability to changing personal physiological conditions, making pre-set fitness schedules obsolete.
Innovation Solution
A portable electronic device with a built-in driver program allows users to input and record personal physiological and diet parameters, converting them into calorie data, enabling dynamic updates to fitness schedules across different sport equipment types via wireless connectivity, allowing seamless control and recording of exercise sessions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed electronic control panel is installed on single sport equipment, then the equipment can provide basic exercise control functions, but users cannot transfer their exercise plans and recorded data to other equipment, requiring re-entry of all data and reducing user engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a portable electronic device as an intermediary between multiple sport equipments. This portable device stores exercise plans, personal data, and exercise records, acting as a mediator that transfers information between different equipments. The fixed control panel on each equipment communicates with the portable device, allowing users to transfer their exercise plans and data without re-entry, while keeping each equipment's control system relatively simple.
2Ease of operation
If users are forced to exercise on the same sport equipment, then exercise plans can be executed consistently, but users become bored and lose willingness to use the equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the exercise plan management system universal across different sport equipments. The portable electronic device stores exercise plans that can be executed on any compatible equipment in the system. Users can switch between different equipments (treadmill, bike, stepper, etc.) while maintaining the same exercise plans and personal profiles, increasing variety and user engagement while ensuring consistent plan execution through the portable device's control.
3Productivity
If pre-set fitness schedules are created based on initial personal data, then users can start exercising immediately, but the schedules become obsolete when personal physiological conditions change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the portable electronic device continuously receives updated personal data from users (such as weight, body fat percentage, fitness level changes). The system processes this feedback information and automatically adjusts exercise plans and schedules to match the user's current physiological conditions. This allows the system to maintain both efficiency (by having pre-set plans) and adaptability (by updating plans based on feedback).

AI summary
The present invention relates to a portable operation control panel structure of a sport equipment comprising a portable electronic device with a built-in driver program including an exercise plan and an operating sport equipment for executing basic operation controls of the operating sport equipment and connecting a fixed electronic control panel of the portable electronic device; and an operating sport equipment. A user can input basic data parameters into the portable electronic device anytime and use the built-in exercise plan program to set a user's exclusive recommended fitness schedule, such that after the fixed electronic control panel is connected, the portable electronic device controls the operating sport equipment to carry out the recommended fitness schedule, and then the portable electronic device records the whole course of the exercise process and update related personal parameter to set another recommended fitness schedule for an exercise next time.
