Exercise data collection system
First Claim
1. An exercise data collection system for use with an exercise machine including a movable mass, comprising:
- a computerized processing unit; and
at least two sensors, each mounted on or near the exercise machine, and placed so as to capture data indicative of aspects of exercising performed by a user of the exercise machine while moving the movable mass, a first of the at least two sensors being of a first sensor type and a second of the at least two sensors being of a second sensor type different from the first sensor type, the at least two sensors having circuitry associated therewith sufficient to allow the at least two sensors to wirelessly communicate captured data, including data reflective of a range of motion of the user, for receipt and analysis by the computerized processing unit; and
the computerized processing unit including programming that will cause the computerized processing unit to analyze the received captured data in conjunction with physical characteristics of the user, including at least the user'"'"'s leg or arm length, so that a representation of the exercise performed by the user, including range of motion, can be constructed that reflects the exercising as it was performed by the user.

Abstract
An exercise data collection system for use with an exercise machine, including a computerized processing unit and at least two sensors mounted on or near the exercise machine to capture data indicative of aspects of exercising performed by a user of the exercise machine. A first of the at least two sensors being of a first sensor type and a second of the at least two sensors being of a second sensor type different from the first sensor type. The sensors including circuitry associated therewith sufficient to allow the sensors to wirelessly communicate captured data for receipt and analysis by the processing unit, which includes programming that will cause the processing unit to analyze the received captured data in conjunction with characteristics of the user so that a representation of the exercise performed by the user can be constructed that reflects the exercising as it was performed by the user.

19. An exercise data collection system kit for use with an exercise machine including a movable mass, the kit comprising:
-
at least two sensors, a first of the at least two sensors being of a first sensor type and a second of the at least two sensors being of a second sensor type different from the first sensor type, the at least two sensors incorporating circuitry sufficient to allow the at least two sensors to wirelessly communicate captured data including data reflective of a range of motion of the user; instructions for mounting the at least two sensors on or near the exercise machine so that the at least two sensors will capture data indicative of aspects of exercising performed by a user of the exercise machine while moving the movable mass; and a receiver which, in operation, will receive the wirelessly communicated captured data from the at least two sensors and then transfer signal-based information reflective of the exercising, including range of motion, performed by the user of the exercise machine for analysis. - View Dependent Claims (20)
