Abstract

The present invention includes a handheld device and a main device, wherein the handheld device is held by an athlete and the main device is moved with the athlete. Through a measuring device acquiring a physiological condition of the athlete and a movement state of the handheld device and transmitting thereof to the main device, the main device can produce an exercise indication signal according thereto, so that the athlete can obtain an exercise direction and also can manage the physical condition during exercise.

Claims

1. A sports health care apparatus with physiological monitoring function for an athlete, comprising:

a handheld device, held by the athlete, having a measuring device, wherein the measuring device has a measuring module and a first acceleration module for acquiring a physiological condition of the athlete and a movement state of the handheld device, so as to produce a signal of measuring device; and

a main device, moved with the athlete and receiving the signal of measuring device, wherein the main device comprises a second acceleration module for detecting the movement state of the main device and a multimedia output media, and according to the signal of measuring device and the movement state of the main device, the main device produces an exercise indication signal to be outputted by the multimedia output media so as to provide the athlete an exercise direction.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the measuring device further comprises a first relation processing unit, a first signal processing unit and a first signal transceiver unit, wherein the measuring module measures the physiological condition of the athlete, the first acceleration module measures the movement state of the handheld device held by the athlete, the first relation processing unit receives signals from the first signal processing unit, the first acceleration module and the measuring module, and after the first signal processing unit processes the signals, a signal of measuring device is produced and transmitted by the first signal transceiver unit to the main device.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a first I/O interface connected with the first relation processing unit.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the main device further comprises a second relation processing unit, a second signal processing unit and a second signal transceiver unit, wherein the first signal transceiver and the second signal transceiver are connected with each other, so that the main device receives the signal of measuring device, the second relation processing unit receives signals from the second signal processing unit and the second acceleration module, and after the second signal processing unit processes the signals, an exercise indication signal is produced.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a data access unit connected with the second signal processing unit.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a wireless communication unit connected with the second signal processing unit.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a second I/O interface connected to the second relation processing unit.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main device is hanged on the body of the athlete.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the second acceleration module in the main device detects a reacting force produced from the floor which passes through the shoes, the knees and the spine and then reaches the main device, and the multimedia output media outputs the exercise indication signal to warn the athlete.
