Fitness equipment unit service condition notification system
First Claim
1. A fitness equipment unit comprising:
- a light;
at least first and second sensors, the first sensor to output first signals indicating a first service condition of a fitness equipment unit;
the second sensor to output second signals indicating a second service condition of the fitness equipment unit that is independent of the first service condition; and
a controller to receive signals from the first sensor and the second sensor and to actuate the light between different states based upon a combination of the first and second service conditions, wherein the first and second service conditions comprise two service conditions selected from a group of service conditions consisting of;
a connection error service condition;
a part wear service condition;
a motor/actuator error service condition;
a sensor error service condition;
a processor error service condition; and
a power supply error service condition and further based upon a prioritization of different severity levels of the first and second service conditions.

Abstract
A fitness equipment unit has a controller that actuates a light between different states in response to service conditions. In one implementation, actuation of the light is based upon a combination of at least two of: a mileage parameter of the fitness equipment unit, a sensed electrical current of the fitness equipment unit, a sensed temperature from the fitness equipment unit and a sensed position of a portion of the fitness equipment unit. In another implementation, actuation of the light is based upon a combination of the first and second service conditions selected from a group consisting of: a connection error service condition; a part wear service condition; a motor/actuator error service condition; a sensor error service condition; a processor error service condition; and a power supply error service condition and further based upon a prioritization of different severity levels of the first and second service conditions.

18. A fitness equipment unit comprising:
-
a single light; at least one of a sensor to sense electrical current of the fitness equipment unit, a sensor to sense temperature from the fitness equipment unit and a sensor to sense a position of a portion of the fitness equipment unit; and a controller to actuate the single light between different service recommending states based upon a combination of at least two of;
a mileage parameter of the fitness equipment unit, a sensed electrical current of the fitness equipment unit, a sensed temperature from the fitness equipment unit and a sensed position of a portion of the fitness equipment unit. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 24)

22. An apparatus comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to direct a processor to; receive electronic signals indicating a first service condition of the fitness equipment unit; receive electronic signals indicating a second service condition of the fitness equipment unit, the second condition being independent of the first condition and occurring concurrently with the first condition; and actuate a single light based upon a combination of the first service condition and the second service condition, wherein the first service condition and the second service condition are based upon at least two of;
a mileage parameter of the fitness equipment unit, a sensed electrical current of the fitness equipment unit, a sensed temperature from the fitness equipment unit and a sensed position of a portion of the fitness equipment unit. - View Dependent Claims (23)
