TRAINING METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of training, said method comprising:
- 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 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;
continuously outputting a human perceptible signal as a function of the results of both said determining and a feedback template; and
continuously updating said training schedule data as a function of results of said determining.

Abstract
A training method in which 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.

5. A method of training, said method comprising:
-
receiving signals from a training transducer at a first interface; receiving training schedule data from a remote correspondent at a second interface, the training schedule data defining times by which a specified exercise is to be performed by a user; storing said training schedule data in a first memory; outputting a human perceptible signal in accordance with a feedback template, said human perceptible signal comprising data content relating to performance of the exercise by the user, said feedback template specifying a manner in which the data content is to be conveyed to the user; storing, in a second memory, output status data from which the human perceptible signal is generated; a processor continuously (i) carrying out a determination, in real time as the user is performing the exercise, of whether said signals received at said first interface satisfy criteria of conforming to said training schedule data with regard to a time value obtained from a clock; and (ii) updating said training schedule data as a function of a result of said determination; wherein a training device comprises the first interface, the second interface, the first memory, the second memory, the processor, and the clock. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
