DISPLAY DEVICE FOR AN EXERCISE APPARATUS

摘要

An exercise apparatus such as a treadmill comprising a display (12), a display controller (11), and a user input (13), operably in communication with one another to enable the user to interact with prompts on the display, wherein the display controller (11) comprises a processor programmed to drive the display, and a memory for storing labelled screen objects representative of an image, such an alpha-numeric string, word or logo, for presentation on the display such that a screen object is selectable from the memory by the controller (11) using the label hence enabling display of the image. The visual image of screen object can be changed, for example to enable use of different languages, whilst still retaining the same label for the screen object and hence the same processor program to drive the display. For example, the word "calories" in English can be changed to "Kalorien" in German, or "time" to "heure" in French, by changing the image data for a labelled screen object.
