Abstract

A fitness equipment control system is provided. The system includes a receiver and a mobile apparatus, and performs the operations: generating a first control signal based on a training course of a user; transmitting the first control signal to the receiver to make the receiver generates a signal which is readable by the fitness equipment according to the first control signal and transmit the readable signal to the fitness equipment; receiving at least one physiological signal from at least one of the wearable devices worn by the user; based on the training course and the at least one physiological signal, generating a second control signal; and when the second control signal is generated, transmitting the second control signal to the receiver, wherein the receiver generates a signal which is readable by the fitness equipment according to the second control signal and transmits it to the fitness equipment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

a receiver, being connected to a fitness equipment via wired connection; and
a mobile apparatus, being wirelessly connected to the receiver and being configured to perform the following operations:
generating a first control signal based on a training course of a user;
transmitting the first control signal to the receiver to make the receiver generates a first signal which is readable by the fitness equipment according to the first control signal and transmits the readable first signal to the fitness equipment;
receiving at least one physiological signal of the user from at least one wearable device worn by the user, the at least one physiological signal comprising at least a heart rate;
based on the training course and the at least one physiological signal, determining whether to generate a second control signal; and
when the second control signal is generated, transmitting the second control signal to the receiver, wherein the receiver generates a second signal which is readable by the fitness equipment according to the second control signal and transmits the readable second signal to the fitness equipment.

2. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the training course further comprises a set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal, and the mobile apparatus generates the second control signal according to whether the at least one physiological signal received conforms to the set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal.

3. The fitness equipment control system of claim 2 , wherein the mobile apparatus further stores historical data for physiological signal of the user and further performs the following operation:

4. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the training course further comprises a set condition corresponding to the heart rate, and the mobile apparatus generates the second control signal according to whether the heart rate received conforms to the set condition corresponding to the heart rate.

5. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wearable device worn by the user is at least one of a smart watch, a smart wristband, a smart knee brace, a smart insole and wearable electronic devices having sensors or a combination thereof, and the at least one wearable device comprises a sensor used for detecting the at least one physiological signal.

6. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the training course comprises at least one training stage, each of the at least one training stage comprises a set parameter and a period corresponding to the fitness equipment, at least one of the at least one training stage comprises a set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal, and the mobile apparatus further performs the following operations:
generating the first control signal corresponding to each of the at least one training stage according to the set parameter and the period of each of the at least one training stage; and
when the fitness equipment is executed according to the first control signal of each of the at least one training stage and the training stage that is executed has the set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal, generating the second control signal according to whether the at least one physiological signal received conforms to the set condition of the at least one physiological signal corresponding to the training stage executed.

7. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile apparatus further performs the following operation:
providing the user with a training suggestion according to the at least one physiological signal.

8. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile apparatus further performs the following operation:
analyzing a posture of the user and providing the user with a suggestion for posture improvement.

9. The fitness equipment control system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile apparatus further performs the following operation:
storing a sports process of the user and transmitting the sports process to a cloud apparatus.

10. A mobile apparatus for use with a receiver, the receiver being connected to a fitness equipment via wired connection, the mobile apparatus being wirelessly connected to the receiver and comprising:
an interface; and
a processor, being electrically connected to the interface and performing the following operations, comprising:
generating a first control signal based on a training course of a user;
transmitting the first control signal to the receiver to make the receiver generates a first signal which is readable by the fitness equipment according to the first control signal and transmits the readable first signal to the fitness equipment;
receiving at least one physiological signal of the user from at least one wearable device worn by the user, the at least one physiological signal comprising at least a heart rate;
based on the training course and the at least one physiological signal, determining whether to generate a second control signal; and
when the second control signal is generated, transmitting the second control signal to the receiver, wherein the receiver generates a second signal which is readable by the fitness equipment according to the second control signal and transmits the readable second signal to the fitness equipment.

11. The mobile apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the training course further comprises a set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal, and the processor generates the second control signal according to whether the at least one physiological signal received conforms to the set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal.

12. The mobile apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the training course further comprises a set condition corresponding to the heart rate, and the processor generates the second control signal according to whether the heart rate received conforms to the set condition corresponding to the heart rate.

13. The mobile apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the training course comprises at least one training stage, each of the at least one training stage comprises a set parameter and a period corresponding to the fitness equipment, at least one of the at least one training stage comprises a set condition corresponding to the at least one physiological signal, and the processor further performs the following operations:
