Computerized Physical Activity System to Provide Feedback
First Claim
1. A computerized physical activity system for use with exercise machines, the system comprising:
- a database comprising information about people who will be using the system;
sensing systems, each coupled to a corresponding one of the exercise machines, to sense mechanical variables of activities of a person when exercising on the exercise machines; and
a computer and communication system coupled to the database and to the sensing systems, wherein the computer and communication system is arranged to process mechanical properties of the exercise machines and the mechanical variables of the activities to generate user performance data for each of the activities, to perform an analysis of the user performance data based, at least in part, on information stored in the database for the person, to provide feedback to the person when exercising on one of the exercise machines based on the user performance data and/or the analysis thereof for the activity of the person on the one of the exercise machines, and to update the information stored in the database for the person based on the analysis so that subsequent analyses of user performance data for activities of the person are performed based, at least in part, on the updated information.

Abstract
A computerized physical activity system for use with exercise machines comprises a database, sensing systems, each coupled to a corresponding one of the exercise machines, and a computer and communication system coupled to the database and to the sensing systems. The database comprises information about people who will be using the system. A sensing system senses mechanical variables of activity of a person when exercising on the exercise machine. The computer and communication system is arranged to process mechanical properties of the exercise machine and the mechanical variables of the activity to generate user performance data for the activity, to analyze the data based, at least in part, on information stored in the database for the person, to provide feedback based on the data and/or the analysis thereof, and to update the information stored in the database for the person based on the analysis.

18. A method for providing feedback to a person who is exercising, the method comprising:
-
sensing mechanical variables of activities of the person when exercising on exercise machines;
processing mechanical properties of the exercise machines and the mechanical variables of the activities to generate user performance data for each of the activities;
performing an analysis of the user performance data based, at least in part, on information stored in a database for the person;
providing feedback to the person when exercising on one of the exercise machines based on the user performance data and/or the analysis thereof for the activity of the person on the one of the exercise machines; and
updating the information stored in the database for the person based on the analysis so that subsequent analyses of user performance data for activities of the person are performed based, at least in part, on the updated information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
