Treadmill having device for virtual walking course image and method for driving the treadmill

Abstract

The present invention relates to a treadmill having a device for a virtual walking course image, and to a method for driving the treadmill. The treadmill is structured such that the treadmill may be used within a restricted space and has a separate image device which enables a user to select, using a selection unit, a virtual walking course image menu installed in the device for a virtual walking course image, and then images of various runways displayed on a monitor. The speed of the image displayed on the monitor changes with the walking speed of the user. Moreover, between the sloped and curved road sections, the treadmill of the present invention can realize the corresponding slope, so that the user can experience the feeling of actually walking and overcome the baldness feeling, even though the treadmill is used within the restricted space.

Further, the treadmill of the present invention has effects in that the screen of the monitor is split into two or more screens to display different content simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a treadmill equipped with a virtual running image device and a virtual running method, and in particular to setting video images of running on various tracks through an image device on a treadmill installed in a sports space used by the public such as a sports center or at home. , so as to use a variety of virtual running image content to eliminate boring emotions, and to carry out long-term sports with great interest. Moreover, the inclination of the treadmill can be linked with the inclination of the virtual running track on the video screen and the curve screen to A treadmill equipped with a virtual running imaging device and a driving method for the treadmill enable users to exercise more realistically.
