Training Coordinator Device And Method
First Claim
1. A training device, comprising:
- a first interface adapted to receive signals from a training transducer;
a second interface adapted to receive training schedule data from a remote correspondent, the training schedule data defining times by which specified activities are to be performed by a user;
a first memory adapted to store said training schedule data;
a first output adapted to output a human perceptible signal as a function of status data from both the first output and a feedback template;
a clock; and
a processor, said processor configured to continuouslycarry out a determination in real time of whether said signals received at said first interface satisfy criteria derived from said training schedule with regard to a value of said clock;
update said status data, so as to output a representation as a result of said determination; and
update said training schedule data as a function of a result of said determination;
regardless of whether training activities are currently taking place.

Abstract
A training coordinator device is in communication with a training transducer integrated in an exercise article. The training coordinator device receives training schedule data, for example, via an internet link, and uses this schedule to prompt and encourage a user in performing training activities in a real time and persistent manner defined in the training schedule by means of a user interface which may take the form of an LED array. The training coordinator device monitors training activities by signals from a suitably adapted training transducer, which may be integrated in an exercise article such as a bicycle etc. Information concerning the user'"'"'s training activities may be published via an internet link for access by both the user and medical professionals, who may also be the source of the training schedule.

11. A method of training, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving training schedule data from a remote correspondent at a second interface, said training schedule data defining times by which specified activities are to be performed by a user; storing said training schedule data in a first memory; and continuously carrying out the steps of determining in real time whether signals received from a training transducer via a first interface satisfy criteria derived from said training schedule with regard to the value of a clock; outputting a human perceptible signal as a function of the results of both said step of determining and a feedback template; and updating said training schedule data as a function of results of said step of determining. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A program product comprising program codes stored in a computer readable storage medium, said program codes implementing the steps of:
-
receiving training schedule data from a remote correspondent at a second interface, said training schedule data defining times by which specified activities are to be performed by a user; storing said training schedule data in a first memory; and continuously carrying out the steps of determining in real time whether signals received from a training transducer via a first interface satisfy criteria derived from said training schedule with regard to the value of a clock; outputting a human perceptible signal as a function of the results of both said step of determining and a feedback template; and updating said training schedule data as a function of results of said step of determining. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
