Portable physical activity sensing system

摘要

A portable system retrieves one or more exercise programs from a remote communication system that provides motivational content for a user exercising upon an exercise mechanism. The exercise program further includes at least one control signal that controls one or more operating parameters of the exercise mechanism. The portable system includes a control device configured to retrieve the exercise program and deliver the motivational content to the user by way of an audio delivery device, while delivering the control signals to the exercise mechanism. A sensor communicates with the control device and tracks one or more measurable parameters of the user during the user's performance of the exercise program. Data representative of the one or more measurable parameters can be delivered to the control device for delivery to the remote communication system.

1. A portable physical activity sensing system comprising:
a sensor configured to be associated with a user and configured to sense a physical activity parameter of the user during the performance of physical activity by the user; a memory in communication with the sensor, wherein the sensor communicates data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter to the memory, and wherein the memory stores the data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter; and a feedback element on the portable physical activity sensing system is configured to provide the data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter to the user; wherein the portable physical activity sensing system is configured to send the data representative of the sensed physical activity parameter to a computing system independent of the portable physical activity sensing system.
