Abstract

A system and a method for editing a walking procedure are provided. Various walking parameters of the user are operated by loading a walking mode, so as to obtain walking steps of the user corresponding to each time parameter of the walking mode. Further, the walking procedure is converted to a walking pattern procedure, and the walking pattern procedure is provided to the user for dynamically editing and modifying. Finally the walking procedure is stored. Thus, a problem that a personal walking procedure cannot be provided is solved, thereby providing the personal walking procedure and improving exercise efficiency.

Claims

1. A system for editing a walking procedure, for setting a walking device, at least comprising:

a receiving module, for receiving a fast-walking speed parameter, a slow-walking speed parameter, and an average step distance of a user;

an operating module, for loading a walking mode to operate on the fast-walking speed parameter, the slow-walking speed parameter, and the average step distance, so as to obtain walking steps of the user corresponding to each time parameter of the walking mode;

a generating module, for generating a walking procedure according to each of the time parameters and the corresponding walking steps;

a converting and displaying module, for performing a patterning conversion on the walking procedure to convert the walking procedure into a walking pattern procedure, and displaying the walking pattern procedure;

an editing module, for providing the walking pattern procedure to the user for dynamically editing and modifying; and

a storing module, for storing the walking procedure according to each of the time parameters and the corresponding walking steps of the walking pattern procedure again.

2. The system for editing a walking procedure according to claim 1, wherein the walking pattern procedure is represented by a histogram, a horizontal axis indicates the time parameters, and a longitudinal axis indicates the walking steps.

3. The system for editing a walking procedure according to claim 1, wherein the user edits and modifies the walking pattern procedure by dragging a pointer device.

4. The system for editing a walking procedure according to claim 1, wherein the fast-walking speed parameter, the slow-walking speed parameter, and the average step distance are input by the user, detected by a fitness device, or read from a universal serial bus (USB) storage device.

5. The system for editing a walking procedure according to claim 1, wherein the walking mode is preset in the system and provided to the user for selection.

6. A method for editing a walking procedure, for setting a walking device, at least comprising:

receiving a fast-walking speed parameter, a slow-walking speed parameter, and an average step distance of a user;

loading a walking mode to operate on the fast-walking speed parameter, the slow-walking speed parameter, and the average step distance, so as to obtain walking steps of the user corresponding to each time parameter of the walking mode;

generating a walking procedure according to each of the time parameters and the corresponding walking steps;

performing a patterning conversion on the walking procedure to convert the walking procedure into a walking pattern procedure, and displaying the walking pattern procedure;

providing the walking pattern procedure to the user for dynamically editing and modifying; and

storing the walking procedure according to each of the time parameters and the corresponding walking steps of the walking pattern procedure again.

7. The method for editing a walking procedure according to claim 6, wherein the walking pattern procedure is represented by a histogram, a horizontal axis indicates the time parameters, and a longitudinal axis indicates the walking steps.

8. The method for editing a walking procedure according to claim 6, wherein the user edits and modifies the walking pattern procedure by dragging a pointer device.

9. The method for editing a walking procedure according to claim 6, wherein the fast-walking speed parameter, the slow-walking speed parameter, and the average step distance are input by the user, detected by a fitness device, or read from a universal serial bus (USB) storage device.

10. The method for editing a walking procedure according to claim 6, wherein the walking mode is preset in the system and provided to the user for selection.
