Treadmill whose speed is controlled by music
First Claim
1. A treadmill whose speed is controlled by any desired music comprising:
- an electric treadmill having a motor disposed at the bottom end of an upright frame to drive a walking belt in rotation; and
a console installed at the top of the upright frame and used to control the treadmill'"'"'s operation and to show numerical values and drawings with respect to the exercise state;
wherein the improvement is characterized by said console having;
an audiosource being an audiosource device for output sound and installed at a proper place facilitating the operation;
an amplifier connected with said audiosource and amplifying any desired music signal for output;
a band-pass filter taking out the music signals being within certain range of frequency and outputted by said amplifier;
a level shifter and signal filter amplifying and reshaping the music frequency wave passing through said band-pass filter whereupon the music rhythm and the intensity signal are brought into a microprocessor;
a microprocessor analyzing and processing the input music rhythm and the intensity signal a motor drive which receives the intensity signal from said microprocessor, the rotational speed of said motor being controlled by said motor driver;
an audio signal sender having an IR driver and an IR transmitter, said IR driver being connected to the output port of said amplifier so that the signals outputted by the audiosource are sent to an IR receiver in the way of wireless transmission.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a treadmill whose speed is controlled by music. An audiosource is installed on the console of the treadmill. The music outputted by the audiosource passes through an amplifier and a band-pass filter takes out the frequency wave at certain range from the music, thereby avoiding unnecessary interference. Besides, a microprocessor is used to enable the driving motor of the walking belt to continuously change its speed according to the music rhythm and intensity. Moreover, the operator of the treadmill adjusts his walking speed to the music rhythm so that the speeds of the music, the motor and the operator are integrated into one speed, thereby enhancing the exercising fun without feeling tired. Furthermore, the operator can move in accordance with the music rhythm, thereby reaching the body shaping effect.
