Fitness equipment incorporated with content control of an electronic device

Abstract

In a fitness equipment that provides a user with walking, running, or bicycling exercises, signals generated by a driving device corresponding to the forward / backward movement of the user is converted into the forward / backward control of an electronic game or the up / down scrolling control of the content of an application of an electronic device, such that the user is capable of enjoying the content control while physically exercising, which beats boredom of just exercising. On the other hand, content control of the electronic device transferred from manual operation to movement on the fitness equipment provides fitness objectives when using the electronic device. Furthermore, the resemblance between the movement of walking, running, or bicycling of the user and the movement of the figures in the electronic games or the scrolling of the content of the application adds to similarity, sense of presence, and convenience.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a fitness equipment, and more particularly, to a fitness equipment incorporated with content control of an electronic device.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Most video games or computer games are handled by human hands using dedicated game controllers such as a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, a game wheel, or fashioned body sense controllers like a handheld controller incorporated with light sensing technology, G-sensors, or gyroscopes. Secondly, electronic devices such as desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, smart phones, or the like, also require a user's hand to handle the input devices (the mouse or the keyboard) to perform content scrolling control when browsing the web or content of an application. Without even requiring any other parts of the body to move, it only needs manual operation of the user to operate such game control or content reading / browsing. Peopl...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a fitness equipment with content control of an electronic device. This allows users to exercise while also using the electronic device. The fitness equipment converts the user's movements into control signals, which are sent to the electronic device to control its content. This makes the exercise more interesting and prevents boredom. Additionally, the resemblance between the user's movements and the movements of the electronic device makes it safer to use the electronic device while exercising. The fitness equipment can also be merchandized as an integrated package for any fitness equipment.

Problems solved by technology

Secondly, electronic devices such as desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, smart phones, or the like, also require a user's hand to handle the input devices (the mouse or the keyboard) to perform content scrolling control when browsing the web or content of an application.

People working on such activities extremely lack proper exercises and training in other parts of the body.

It is, however, a boring time when just using these fitness equipments, especially for those time requiring exercises like the treadmills, the exercising bike, or the spin bikes.
