System for monitoring exercise performance
First Claim
1. A system adapted for use with an exercise machine for monitoring exercise performance, said system comprising:
- a pulse detecting unit adapted for detecting a pulse of a user operating the exercise machine;
a user interface unit for allowing user manipulation to input user-specific parameters; and
a control unit electrically coupled to said pulse detecting unit and said user interface unit, said control unit automatically selecting an exercise mode of the user with reference to the pulse detected by said pulse detecting unit, said control unit determining a target exercise amount for the user with reference to the user-specific parameters and the exercise mode automatically selected by said control unit, said control unit further determining an actual exercise amount during exercise by the user with reference to the pulse detected by said pulse detecting unit.

Abstract
A system adapted for use with an exercise machine for monitoring exercise performance includes: a pulse detecting unit adapted for detecting a pulse of a user; a torque detecting unit adapted to detect a torque exerted by the user; a user interface unit for allowing user input of user-specific parameters and displaying data to the user; and a control unit electrically coupled to the other elements. The control unit determines a target exercise amount for the user with reference to the pulse, the torque, and the user-specific parameters. The control unit further determines an actual exercise amount during exercise by the user with reference to the torque. The user interface unit displays the target exercise amount through an exercise indicating pattern that is selectively activated according to the actual exercise amount.
