Progresive heart rate monitor display
First Claim
1. An exercise system configured to display a user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate, the exercise system comprising:
- (i) an exercise apparatus comprising;
a frame; and
a movable member linked to the frame; and
(ii) a progressive heart rate monitor display comprising a plurality of six or more non-numeric indicia which are arranged in a single array such that each of the non-numeric indicia are consecutively displayed, wherein at least one non-numeric indicia corresponding with the target heart rate is actuated and at least one indicia corresponding with the user'"'"'s heart rate is actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is not the same as the target heart rate to provide a visual non-numeric indication of the user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate.

Abstract
The present invention relates to heart rate monitor displays. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for displaying a user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate. A progressive heart rate monitor display having two or more indicia adapted to indicate a users heart rate relative to a target heart rate and to signal changes in the user'"'"'s heart rate is provided. The progressive heart rate monitor display can include a numeric display for representing the heart rate as a numeric value. A method of displaying a user'"'"'s heart rate in which one or more of the indicia are actuated to signal changes in a user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate.

13. A progressive heart rate monitor display for use with a heart rate monitor comprising:
-
a first indicia corresponding to a first heart rate; and one or more additional indicia, each of the one or more additional indicia corresponding to a different heart rate, wherein the first indicia and the one or more additional indicia are consecutively positioned in a single array to provide an indication of a user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate, wherein one or more indicia corresponding with the target heart rate are actuated and one or more indicia corresponding with the user'"'"'s heart rate are actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is not the same as the target heart rate and only the one or more indicia representing the target heart rate are actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is the same as the target heart rate. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of displaying a user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate comprising:
-
providing a plurality of indicia adapted to identify a user'"'"'s heart rate; selecting a target heart rate, wherein one or more of the plurality of indicia comprise an indicator of a target heart rate; monitoring the user'"'"'s heart rate; actuating one of the plurality of indicia as an indication of the user'"'"'s heart rate; and
actuating one or more of the plurality of indicia as an indication of the target heart rate, such that one or more of the plurality of indicia are actuated as an indication of the user'"'"'s heart rate and in response to a change in the user'"'"'s heart rate a different one or more indicia are actuated, wherein the one or more indicia representing the target heart rate are actuated in a manner so as to differentiate the target heart rate from the user'"'"'s actual heart rate such that one or more of the plurality of indicia representing a range of heart rates below the target heart rate and the one or more indicia representing the target heart rate are actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is the below the target heart rate, and one or more of a plurality of indivia above the target heart rate and the one or more indicia representing the target heart rate are actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is above the target heart rate, and only the one or more indicia representing the target heart rate are actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is the same as the target heart rate. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A progressive heart rate monitor display configured to display a user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate, the progressive heart rate monitor display comprising:
-
a plurality of non-numeric indicia arranged in a single array, the non-numeric indicia corresponding to different heart rates, wherein at least one non-numeric indicia corresponding with the target heart rate is actuated and at least one non-numeric indicia corresponding with the user'"'"'s heart rate is actuated when the user'"'"'s heart rate is not the same as the target heart rate such that one or more of the indicia provide an indication of the user'"'"'s heart rate relative to a target heart rate; and a numeric display configured to represent the user'"'"'s heart rate as a numeric value. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37)
