ADAPTABLE EXERCISE SYSTEM AND METHOD |
摘要 |
A system and method for correlating a video content presentation rate with an exercise machine operation rate is disclosed. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus is an interactive video system that adapts easily to use with a wide range of gym equipment utilizing a video presentation device that includes an accelerometer and/or camera. The camera embodiment utilizes vision algorithms to determine periodicity and motion orientation prior to modifying the input as a function of the type of exercise equipment is being utilized, in order to determine a cadence. In one embodiment the camera does not rely on seeing the limbs being exercised but utilizes the observation that even highly trained athletes have a degree of extraneous motion of their theoretically immobile body parts during exercise. A prerecorded video presentation is modulated by sensing proximate vibrational energy to determine cadence in the case of the accelerometer. |

1. A system to control a video content while the content is viewed during use of one of a plurality of different exercise machines comprising: a display device including a first display in electronic communication with a processor, a sensor in electronic communication with the processor, and a set of machine code adapted for operation on said processor and implemented to control the video content at least in part as a function of cadence or intensity of user exercise on any of the plurality of different exercise machines, said cadence or user intensity, as determined by data from the sensor. |
