Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a solution to the problem of users manually adjusting the settings of a treadmill exercise machine before using it. The solution involves using a computerized framework with buttons and similar items to manually apply settings. The problem with this is that users apply different settings to the same treadmill before using it, creating redundancy and making the adjustment process boring. The solution is a model that allows users to enter a long-term exercise plan using a Smartphone application, which is then transferred to the treadmill. The treadmill settings are automatically adjusted based on the user's preferences and the performed exercise is transferred to the user's Smartphone. This solution motivates users to exercise and share their results with others. The invention aims to provide an easy, fast, and user-friendly way to adjust treadmill settings based on user preferences.

Problems solved by technology

This methodology is actually somewhat cumbersome.
Setting user preferences in treadmill exercise machines is an important issue.

Abstract

In general, the present invention relates to exercise devices and systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a treadmill exercise machine that embodies with an integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) device for receiving both the user preferences and user exercise plan from an NFC enabled Smartphone before starting the exercise, and transmitting the realized exercise information back to the same NFC enabled Smartphone after the exercise is performed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]A treadmill is a stationary device for making exercises such as walking and running They became a popular tool over time; include many features to enhance the exercise experience; and give detailed data on performed exercises. State of the art treadmills have an embedded screen to provide feedbacks to users such as exercise duration, covered distance, and calorie expenditure.[0002]NFC is a short-range wireless communication technology that is emerged a decade ago, but rapidly gained appreciation. NFC fulfills the need to provide short distance and implicit paired communication capability in Smartphones. The strength of NFC technology arises from its ease of use by triggering the communication just with a simple touch. In NFC communication, bringing two devices close starts the communication and separating them terminates the communication immediately. There exist three types of NFC devices, which can involve in NFC communication: Smartphone, NFC tag,...
