Abstract

A system for integrating fitness information includes multiple fitness equipments, multiple detecting devices, a mobile device, a cloud server and an expert system. Each fitness equipment has a fitness recorder and a local area communication interface. Each detecting device has a detecting interface and a local area communication. The mobile device has a local area communication interface, a wireless communication interface and a display interface. A method for integrating fitness information and offering advice includes the steps of: receiving fitness and physical information, transmitting the fitness and physical information, determining the fitness and physical information, and receiving the advice.

Claims

1. A system for integrating fitness information and offering advice comprising:

multiple fitness equipments, each fitness equipment having

a fitness recorder having a capability of storing fitness information from a user while the user operates the fitness equipment; and

a local area communication interface connected to the fitness recorder and having a capability of transmitting the fitness information;

multiple detecting devices, each detecting device having

a detecting interface having a capability of contacting the user and receiving physical information from the user;

a local area communication interface connected with the detecting interface and having a capability of transmitting the physical information;

a mobile device connected with the fitness equipments and the detecting devices and having

a local area communication interface having a capability of connecting with the local area communication interfaces of the fitness equipments and the local area communication interfaces of the detecting devices through a local area network protocol to receive the fitness information and the physical information;

a wireless communication interface connected with the local area communication of the mobile device and having a capability of transmitting the fitness information and the physical information; and

a display interface connected with the wireless communication interface and having a capability of presenting advice information;

a cloud server connected with the wireless communication interface of the mobile device through a wireless communication protocol to receive the fitness information and the physical information; and

an expert system connected with the cloud server, receiving the fitness information and the physical information from the cloud server, determining the advice information based on the fitness information and the physical information, and transmitting the advice information to the mobile device through the cloud server.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the multiple detecting devices are respectively integrated into the multiple fitness equipments, and each detecting device and the corresponding fitness equipment share the local area communication interface.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fitness equipments are chosen from a group consisting of a treadmill, an exercise bike, an ultrasound vibrator and a low-frequency electrotherapy device.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detecting devices are chosen from a group consisting of a heart rate monitor, a fat monitor, a sphygmomanometer and a lactate detector.

5. A method for integrating fitness information and offering advice comprising:

receiving fitness and physical information;

actuating a mobile device to receive the fitness information from multiple fitness equipments and receive the physical information from the multiple detecting devices through a local area communication interface;

transmitting the fitness and physical information;

actuating a wireless communication interface of the mobile device to transmit the fitness and physical information to a cloud server which is connected to an expert system;

determining the fitness and physical information;

utilizing the expert system to determine advice information based on the fitness and physical information and transmit the advice information to the cloud server; and

receiving the advice;

actuating the wireless communication interface of the mobile device to receive the advice information from the cloud server and displaying the advice information on a display interface of the mobile device.
