First Claim
Patent Images
1. An exercise tracker comprising:
- a base;
a plurality of protrusions, spaced from one another and extending from the base, for receiving a cable associated with a piece of exercise equipment between each of the plurality of protrusions and wherein tensioning the cable deflects at least one of the plurality of protrusions, wherein the plurality of protrusions are fixed to the cable and wherein the base moves in accordance with movement of the cable;
a force sensor programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to the cable; and
a processing device programmed to receive the force signal and determine, from the force signal, exercise data including an amount of weight lifted, wherein the amount of weight lifted is proportional to the deflection of at least one of the plurality of protrusions.

12. A system comprising:
-
a remote server; and an exercise tracker having a base and a plurality of protrusions, spaced from one another and extending from the base, for receiving a cable associated with a piece of exercise equipment between each of the plurality of protrusions and wherein tensioning the cable deflects at least one of the plurality of protrusions, wherein the exercise tracker is programmed to detect a force applied to the cable and generate exercise data including an amount of weight lifted and a number of repetitions performed in accordance with the deflection of at least one of the plurality of protrusions, wherein the exercise tracker is programmed to wirelessly transmit the exercise data to the remote server, and wherein the exercise tracker is fixed to the cable and wherein the exercise tracker moves in accordance with movement of the cable. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
