Abstract

Systems and methods for displaying fitness information with an electronic device may include receiving multimedia content at an input of the electronic device. The electronic device may provide the audiovisual content to a display device. The electronic device may also receive fitness information, and may provide this fitness information to the display device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a first input component configured to receive multimedia data;
a second input component configured to receive fitness information;
at least one output component communicatively coupled with at least one display device;
one or more processors; and
memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
receive multimedia content through the first input component;
provide the multimedia content through the at least one output;
receive fitness information through the second input component; and
provide the fitness information through the at least one output component.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the fitness information is received from a communicatively coupled exercise device.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device further comprises a remote control communicatively coupled with both the electronic device and the exercise device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the fitness information is received from a communicatively coupled mobile device configured to acquire the fitness information.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises a television receiver.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processors are further caused to combine the received fitness information with the multimedia content as a single output.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processors are further caused to receive temperature information from communicatively coupled temperature sensors.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the processors are further caused to determine, based on the received temperature information, that the temperature of a space associated with the electronic device has changed.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the processors are further caused to provide a control signal to a heating or air conditioning device to adjust the temperature of the space.
