Abstract

Disclosed is an exercise signal receiver system with a personal portable unit as a relay transmitter. Users, when using individual exercise devices, each put on a portable unit to transmit a wireless body signal and a wireless identification code of each user to a common receiving station. The common receiving station receives the identification code of each portable unit and a body signal corresponding to the identification code. The portable units also receive device signals and transmit the device signals to the common receiving station. The common receiving station is connectable via a data input/output interface to a terminal device.

Claims

1. An exercise signal receiver system with a personal portable unit as a relay transmitter, comprising:

a plurality of exercise devices, each of the exercise devices being usable by a user;

characterized in that

when the users use the exercise devices, each of the users wears a portable unit, the portable unit comprising;

a first processor unit;

a body signal detector, which is connected to the first processor unit to detect at least one body signal of the user, the body signal comprising one of a heartbeat signal, a blood pressure signal, a blood glucose signal, a temperature signal, a calorie signal, pulse signal, a blood glucose signal, and a blood pressure signal;

a wireless transmitter, which is connected to the first processor unit; and

an identification code unit, which is connected to the first processor unit, the identification code unit being pre-assigned with an identification code;

wherein after the body signal generated by the body signal detector and the identification code of the identification code unit are received by the first processor unit, the wireless transmitter transmits a wireless body signal and a wireless identification code to a common receiving station, the common receiving station comprising;

a second processor unit;

a wireless receiver, which is connected to the second processor unit;

a data input/output interface, which is connected to the second processor unit and is connected, via one of a wired data input/output interface and a wireless data input/output interface, to a terminal device; and

a storage unit, which is connected to the second processor unit;

wherein the common receiving station receives, via the wireless receiver, the identification code of the identification code unit of the portable unit and the body signal corresponding to the identification code.

2. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the portable unit is a portable unit that is attachable to one of a wrist, a chest, an arm, a waist, an ankle, and a shoe.

3. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the exercise devices each comprises at least one a device signal detection unit, which detects at least one device signal of the exercise device, the device signal being transmitted by a wireless transceiver in a wireless manner to be received by a wireless transceiver of the portable unit, the device signal being transmitted by the wireless transmitter of the portable unit, in a wireless manner, to be received by the wireless receiver of the common receiving station.

4. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the device signal detection unit comprises one of a speed detection unit, a slope detection unit, a distance detection unit, a power consumption detection unit, a torque detection unit, and a calorie detection unit.

5. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the exercise devices further comprises an exercise control unit, whereby after the first processor unit of the portable unit receives the device signal, the wireless transceiver of the portable unit transmits a device control signal that is received by the wireless transceiver of the exercise devices and applied to the exercise control unit to control the exercise devices.

6. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the portable unit further comprises a display device connected to the first processor unit.

7. An exercise signal receiver system with a personal portable unit as a relay transmitter, comprising:

a plurality of exercise devices, each of the exercise devices being usable by a user;

characterized in that;

when the users use the exercise devices, each of the users wears a portable unit, the portable unit comprising;

a first processor unit;

a wireless transmitter, which is connected to the first processor unit;

a wireless transceiver, which is connected to the first processor unit;

an identification code unit, which is connected to the first processor unit, the identification code unit being pre-assigned with an identification code;

a body signal detector, which detects at least one body signal of the user, the body signal comprising one of a heartbeat signal, a calorie signal, a pulse signal, a blood glucose signal, and a blood pressure signal, the body signal being receivable by the wireless transceiver of the portable unit;

wherein after the body signal and the identification code of the identification code unit are received by the first processor unit, the wireless transmitter transmits a wireless body signal and a wireless identification code to a common receiving station, the common receiving station comprising;

a second processor unit;

a wireless receiver, which is connected to the second processor unit;

a data input/output interface, which is connected to the second processor unit;

a storage unit, which is connected to the second processor unit;

wherein the common receiving station receives, via the wireless receiver, the identification code of the identification code unit of the portable unit and the body signal corresponding to the identification code.

8. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the portable unit is attachable to one of a wrist, a chest, an arm, a waist, an ankle, and a shoe of a user.

9. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the exercise devices each comprises at least one a device signal detection unit, which detects a device signal of the exercise device, the device signal being transmitted by a wireless transceiver in a wireless manner to be received by a wireless transceiver of the portable unit, the device signal being transmitted by the wireless transmitter of the portable unit, in a wireless manner, to be received by the wireless receiver of the common receiving station.

10. The exercise signal receiver system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the exercise devices further comprises an exercise control unit, whereby after the first processor unit of the portable unit receives the device signal, the wireless transceiver of the portable unit transmits a device control signal that is received by the wireless transceiver of the exercise devices and applied to the exercise control unit to control the exercise devices.
