System And Method For Simulating Real World Exercise Sessions
First Claim
1. In an exercise system having a remote communication system adapted to communicate with an exercise device, a method for generating an exercise program comprising:
- receiving route information identifying a route traveled by an individual during a real world exercise session;
receiving audio information identifying a musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session;
using the route information and the audio information to generate an exercise program, the exercise program comprising;
control signals that cause an exercise device to substantially simulate the topographical characteristics of the route traveled by the individual during the real world exercise session; and
audio signals representative of the musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session, wherein the musical selection is presented during a performance of the exercise program.

Abstract
In an exercise system having a remote communication system adapted to communicate with an exercise device, a method for generating an exercise program includes receiving route information identifying a route traveled by an individual during a real world exercise session, receiving audio information identifying a musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session, using the route information and the audio information to generate an exercise program. The exercise program includes control signals that cause an exercise device to substantially simulate the topographical characteristics of the route traveled by the individual during the real world exercise session, and audio signals representative of the musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session so that the musical selection is presented during a performance of the exercise program.

16. An exercise system comprising:
-
an exercise device having an audio output device and a movable element that moves during the performance of an exercise, the movable element having at least one selectively adjustable operating parameter; and a remote communication system in communication with the exercise device, the remote communication system being receptive to information identifying a real world exercise route traveled by an individual during an exercise session and receptive to auditory information identifying a playlist of songs that the individual listened to during the exercise session; wherein the remote communication system retrieves data relating to the real world exercise route and data relating to the playlist of songs that the individual listened to during the exercise session; wherein the remote communication system uses the retrieved data to create an exercise program that comprises; control signals that selectively adjust the at least one selectively adjustable operating parameter of the movable element to simulate terrain characteristics of the real world exercise route; display signals that include visual images of the real world exercise route; and audio signals representative of the playlist of songs listened to by the individual during the exercise session.

20. A computer system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; system memory; and one or more computer storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to implement a method for generating an exercise program, including; receiving route information identifying a route traveled by an individual during a real world exercise session; receiving audio information identifying a musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session; using the route information and the audio information to generate an exercise program, the exercise program comprising; control signals that cause an exercise device to substantially simulate the topographical characteristics of the route traveled by the individual during the real world exercise session; and audio signals representative of the musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session, wherein the musical selection is presented during a performance of the exercise program.
