Abstract

This specification discloses a real-time exercising procedure adjusting system and the method thereof. By analyzing biological information of the user, the invention loads an appropriate exercising mode. According to the target time and target calories entered by the user, the invention calculates exercising strength and then generates an exercising procedure. During the execution of the exercising procedure, the system can real-time adjust exercising strength of the fitness device. Moreover, the invention detects the heartbeat rate of the user during the exercising process execution for further adjusting the exercising strength. Therefore, the fitness device can immediately adjust its exercising strength according to the user'"'"'s state.

Claims

1. A real-time exercising procedure adjusting system for a fitness device, comprising:

an exercising mode database, which stores a plurality of exercising modes, each of which corresponds to a qualified condition;

a receiving module, which receives biological information of a user, a target time, and target calories;

an analyzing and inquiring module, which follows an applicable principle to analyze the biological information to obtain the qualified condition and uses the qualified condition to find a corresponding exercising mode from the exercising mode database;

a calculating and generating module, which loads in the exercising mode and calculates according to the target time and the target calories to generate an exercising procedure, which includes at least one time parameter and an exercising strength associated with each of the time parameters;

an executing module, which executes the exercising procedure on the fitness device;

a detecting module, which uses a heartbeat rate detector to detect a heartbeat rate parameter of the user;

an adjusting module, which uses the heartbeat rate parameter and an adjusting rule to adjust the exercising strength in the exercising procedure; and

a converting and displaying module, which converts the exercising procedure in the calculating and generating module and the adjusting module into a graphic exercising procedure and displays the graphic exercising procedure.

2. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting system of claim 1 further comprising an editing and storing module, which allows the user to dynamically edit and modify the graphic exercising procedure and stores the modified graphic exercising procedure as the exercising procedure for the executing module to execute.

3. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting system of claim 1, wherein the biological information includes at least age, gender, and weight.

4. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting system of claim 1, wherein the executing module stops executing the exercising procedure when a stopping command is received.

5. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting system of claim 1, the adjusting rule is that the exercising strength in the exercising procedure is reduced when the heartbeat rate parameter is greater than a maximum and that the exercising strength in the exercising procedure is increased when the heartbeat rate parameter is smaller than a minimum.

6. A real-time exercising procedure adjusting method for a fitness device, comprising the steps of:

establishing an exercising mode database, which stores a plurality of exercising modes, each of which corresponds to a qualified condition;

receiving biological information of a user, a target time, and target calories;

using an applicable principle to analyze the biological information to obtain the qualified condition and using the qualified condition to find a corresponding exercising mode from the exercising mode database;

loading in the exercising mode and calculating according to the target time and the target calories to generate an exercising procedure, which includes at least one time parameter and an exercising strength associated with each of the time parameters;

converting the exercising procedure into a graphic exercising procedure and displaying the graphic exercising procedure;

executing the exercising procedure on the fitness device and using a heartbeat rate detector to detect a heartbeat rate parameter of the user; and

using the heartbeat rate parameter and an adjusting rule to adjust the exercising strength in the exercising procedure and converting and displaying the adjusted exercising procedure into the graphic exercising procedure.

7. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting method of claim 6 further comprising the steps of allowing the user to dynamically edit and modify the graphic exercising procedure and storing the modified graphic exercising procedure as the exercising procedure for the execution on the fitness device.

8. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting method of claim 6, wherein the biological information includes at least age, gender, and weight.

9. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting method of claim 6, wherein the step of executing the exercising procedure on the fitness device further includes the step of stopping the execution of the exercising procedure when a stopping command is received.

10. The real-time exercising procedure adjusting method of claim 6, the adjusting rule is that the exercising strength in the exercising procedure is reduced when the heartbeat rate parameter is greater than a maximum and that the exercising strength in the exercising procedure is increased when the heartbeat rate parameter is smaller than a minimum.
