说明书全文 | The present disclosure relates to a position changeable sensor. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a position changeable sensor which is removable and can be disposed on different positions of an exercise equipment. With the advance of technological development, urbanites become more and more busy and activity space is limited. Therefore, it is important for people living in cities to be able to exercise in limited time and space, thus many indoor exercise equipments are developed for meeting the demand as described. The intensity of some types of static exercises, such as weightlifting, push-ups or riding stationary bikes, can be varied with operation cycles. By setting the cycle of operation for each of these static exercises, the practice targets help different trainees to achieve their goals authentically and safely. Another advantage is that the trainees can encourage and challenge themselves again and again according to the record of cycles during the training. However, calculating the amount of cycles of operation accurately is impractical for a person who is doing an exercise. In view of this, many kinds of counters for different exercises are launched into the market and with great popularity. Conventionally, the counter is fixed on one immutable position of an exercise equipment. This is due to the fact that most of the conventional exercise equipments have only a single-directional motion so that there is no need to dispose two or more counters at different positions. For the demand of complex training, exercise equipments having multi-exercise parts or multi-motion routes are getting more popular. Thus the method of fixing one counter or one sensor on one position is no more suitable for the above situation. Moreover, in the internet era, people are used to share their daily life information to others with cell phones or Tablet PCs. The sharing of information definitely includes the record of exercises, for example, number of push-ups, heart rate or caloric cost. Opposite to the change, a conventional counter is used only for single and particular exercise motion and also can't transmit the mentioned information to electronic devices. Therefore, the conventional counters that only can be applied on a single part of the exercise equipment are out of use. Therefore, a device that is capable for sensing different exercise parts and motion routes, and can directly transmit exercise records to other electronic devices is needed. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a position changeable sensor which is disposed on an exercise equipment includes a main body removably disposed on a selectable position on the exercise equipment. The main body includes at least one gravity sensor and a removable connecting device connected with the exercise equipment and the main body. In one example, the exercise equipment includes two exercise parts having two different motion routes, and the selectable position belongs to one of these exercise parts. In one example, the gravity sensor includes three to nine sensing axes. In one example, the removable connecting device is a velcro, a container or a buckle. In one example, the removable connecting device is an attaching member disposed on the main body and the attaching member is removably attached to the exercise equipment. In one example, the attaching member is a chuck and the exercise part is a flat surface. In one example, the exercise equipment is a tennis racket, a golf club or a dumbbell. In one example, the attaching member is a magnet and the exercise part is a metal surface with magnetic induction. In one example, the attaching member is a chuck and the selectable position is a flat surface. In one example, the attaching member is a magnet and the selectable position is a metal surface with magnetic induction. In one example, the position changeable sensor further includes a wireless handheld device. The main body further includes a wireless transmitter connected with the gravity sensor for transmitting data outwardly and the wireless handheld device is for receiving the data transmitted by the wireless transmitter. In one example, the wireless handheld device is a cell phone or a Tablet PC. In one example, the wireless transmitter uses a Bluetooth signal. The disclosure can be more fully understood by reading the following detailed description of the embodiments, with reference made to the accompanying drawings as follows:
In the following the present disclosure is described with reference to the drawings. For describing precisely, the details in practice will be introduced as below, but the details should not be a limitation of the present disclosure. Namely, the details introduced in the specification are optional. Moreover, for simplifying the drawings, the conventional structures or members will only be shown briefly therein and the repeated members will be labeled with the same number. Please refer to In In In one example, the exercise equipment 400 includes three exercise parts, namely a first handle 411, a second handle 412 and a pedal 420. When a user operates the exercise equipment 400, the user pulls the first handle 411 and the second handle 412 with his hands. In this circumstances, the first handle 411 and the second handle 412 move along a first motion route A and a second motion route B respectively, and the pedal 420 swings along a third motion route C. A position changeable sensor 100 can be removably disposed on the three exercise parts of the exercise equipment 400 with a magnet 210. The quantity and the position of the main bodys 110 is selectable. When the user operates the exercise equipment 400, the gravity sensor 140 of the main body 110 records data and the wireless transmitter 150 transmits the data outwardly. By operation of the bottom 120 the user can change the display content of the monitor 130 to show the information to the user. In one example, the gravity sensor 140 can have three to nine sensing axes for detecting exercise data of the user. The wireless transmitter 150 can transmit the exercise data through a Bluetooth signal. The exercise part can be a flat surface, and the attaching member can be a magnet 210. In detail, the exercise equipment 400 can include a surface with magnetic induction and can be attached by the magnet 210. Similarly, the flat surface can be attached by the chuck 220. The attaching action applied when using the chuck 220 is a well-known art and therefore will not be described herein. In In one example, the position of the container 250 can be changed or selected. In In In one example, the gravity sensor 140 can have three to nine sensing axes for detecting exercise data of the user. The wireless transmitter 150 can transmit the exercise data through a Bluetooth signal. The features are the same as described above and therefore will not be stated again herein. Also, in the example, the attaching member can be a chuck 220 as shown in In one example, the position changeable sensor 100 can be disposed on a tennis racket, a golf club or a dumbbell. The wireless handheld device 300 can be a cell phone or a Tablet PC, wherein the wireless handheld device 300 can process the data transmitted from the wireless transmitter 150, such as counts, distance or time. The information displayed to the user can include displacement, rates, gesture recognition, panning, zooming, scrolling, free fall interrupt, high-G interrupt, zero-motion detection, tap detection, shake detection and even calories. Features about the number of the sensing axes of the gravity sensor 140, the Bluetooth signal used in the wireless transmitter 150 and the attaching member being a magnet 210 or a chuck 220 that absorbs on a flat surface can also be applied in this example. According to the aforementioned embodiments, the advantages of the present disclosure are described as follows. 1. The user can select different exercise parts to install the position changeable sensor thereon, so as to record the corresponding exercise data. 2. By using the gravity sensor, the position changeable sensor can measure more types of exercise data than conventional sensing equipment. 3. The position changeable sensor can transmit the data outwardly to an external device, such as a mobile phone or Tablet PC, so that the user can review the information on his personal electronic edevices. 4. Being different from the conventional sensing equipments, the position changeable sensor is removable and portable, so that it can be used to record the data on different exercise equipments or to record the caloric cost of the user all day. |
