COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERACTION WITH EXERCISE DEVICE

摘要

An exercise device (12) is configured to enable a user to interact with a trainer in real-time communication. The exercise device (12) includes an exercise mechanism having a movable element (26) for movement in performance of exercise by a user. Communicating with the exercise mechanism in an interface adapted for gathering a first real-time signal from the user. The interface communicates with a communication system (18) for receiving a packetized second real-time signal including a synchronized control signal from the trainer. The exercise device (12) includes an output device configured to reproduce the second real-time signal. The control signals carried by the second signal are used to control the operating parameters of the exercise mechanism in real-time.
