Systems for interaction with exercise device
First Claim
1. A method of controlling one or more operating parameters of an exercise module of a user module, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a first signal for delivery to a communication module remote from the user module, the communication module being in communication with a trainer module;
(b) in response to the first signal, at the communication module, producing and packetizing programming having one or more control signals for controlling the one or more operating parameters of the exercise device; and
(c) upon receiving the programming at the user module, reproducing and depacketizing the programming and adjusting the one or more operating parameters of the exercise module in response to the one or more control signals.

Abstract
An exercise device is configured to enable a user to interact with a trainer in real-time communication. The exercise device includes an exercise mechanism having a movable element for movement in performance of exercise by a user. Communicating with the exercise mechanism is an interface adapted for gathering a first real-time signal from the user. The interface communicates with a communication system for receiving a packetized second real-time signal including a synchronized control signal from the trainer. The exercise device includes an output device configured to reproduce the second real-time signal. The control signals carried by the second signal are used to control the operating parameters of the exercise mechanism in real-time.

9. A method of controlling one or more operating parameters of an exercise device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) preparing a first signal for delivery to a communication system at a distant location; (b) receiving from the communication system packetized programming having one or more control signals for controlling the one or more operating parameters of the exercise device; and (c) reproducing and depacketizing the programming and adjusting the one or more operating parameters of the exercise device in response to the one or more control signals. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 15, 16, 17)
