Abstract
A fitness goal and guidance system and method display a dial to a person exercising. The system and method further display a first indicator on the dial representing a starting time for a multi-session exercise metric goal, a second indicator angularly moving about the axis during the ongoing exercise session based upon on signals indicating ongoing exercise performance by the person exercising, and a third indicator angularly spaced from the first indicator about the axis by a sum of a first arc corresponding to a first target exercise metric value for the ongoing exercise session and a second arc corresponding to a cumulation of exercise metric results of exercise sessions preceding the ongoing exercise session since the starting time.
Description
- Many fitness goals require repeated exercise over multiple individual exercise sessions. Although existing fitness monitors or displays may provide a person with feedback as to performance for an individual exercise session, most fitness monitors or displays do not provide a person with feedback regarding progression towards a multi-session exercise goal. Those that do are not intuitive, are difficult to read and are not motivational.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an example fitness goal andguidance system 20. As will be described hereafter,system 20 provides a person exercising with a dial and associated indicators which provide a person with information indicating both the performance of the person during the individual exercise session as well as performance of the person towards a multi-session exercise metric goal. This information is provided in an easily viewed, easy-to-read, intuitive and motivational manner. - As shown by
FIG. 1 ,system 20 compriseselectronic input 22 andcontroller 26.Electronic input 22 comprises a device to receive electronic signals indicating an exercise metric by a person during an ongoing exercise session. In other words,electronic input 22 comprises a device that receives electronic signals indicating a person's performance with regard to one or more individual metrics (fitness or performance measurements) while the person is engaged in the exercise activity. For purposes of this disclosure, the term “exercise session” means a period of substantially uninterrupted time during which a person partakes in a single homogenous exercise activity. Different exercise sessions may occur on a same piece of exercise equipment or fitness equipment unit, may occur on different pieces of fitness equipment or fitness equipment units, or may occur in the absence of a fitness equipment unit. Different exercise sessions may occur over multiple days or may occur during a single day. For example, during a single trip to a fitness facility or health club for a workout, a person may engage in multiple “exercise sessions” on different fitness equipment units. One exercise session might be an uninterrupted period of time on an elliptical machine while another exercise session might be an uninterrupted time on a treadmill. One exercise session might be multiple sets of bench presses. Another exercise session might be multiple sets of curls. Another exercise session might be a five-mile run outdoors on a trail. - During such exercise sessions,
electronic input 22 receives signals indicating the person's performance with respect to one or more exercise metrics. Example of exercise metrics include but are not limited to, distance (mileage), duration (time, repetitions), calories, work (force and resistance multiplied by distance and number of repetitions) and the like. The signals received byelectronic input 22 indicating performance with regard to such exercise metrics may be received from one or more sensors located on a fitness equipment unit, through manual input using a keyboard, keypad, touchpad, microphone, touchscreen and the like) or from a space-based satellite navigation system such as a global positioning system (GPS) source (such as when a person is running) In one implementation,electronic input 22 is local with respect tocontroller 26 and/or display 24. In another implementation,electronic input 22 may be remote fromcontroller 26, wherein such signals are transmitted to controller 26 in a wired or wireless fashion. -
Controller 26 comprises one or more circuits or processing units configured to receive signals fromelectronic input 22 and to generate control signals causing adisplay 28 to visibly present information to a person while the person is exercising.Display 28 comprises any device configured to provide a visible presentation to a person while the person is exercising based upon signals received fromcontroller 26. In one implementation,display 28 comprises a monitor or display directly associated with a fitness equipment unit. In another implementation,display 28 comprises a monitor or display provided independent of any fitness equipment unit, such as a television, a desktop monitor or a portable electronic device. Examples of portable electronic devices include, but are not limited to, flash memory players, computer tablets, personal data assistants, smart phones and spaced-based satellite navigation system or GPS display wearables such as wrist-top computers, wristbands and the like having displays. - For purposes of this application, the term “processing unit” shall mean a presently developed or future developed processing unit that executes sequences of instructions contained in a memory. Execution of the sequences of instructions causes the processing unit to perform steps such as generating control signals. The instructions may be loaded in a random access memory (RAM) for execution by the processing unit from a read only memory (ROM), a mass storage device, or some other persistent storage. In other embodiments, hard wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions to implement the functions described. For example,
controller 26 may be embodied as part of one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Unless otherwise specifically noted, the controller is not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software, nor to any particular source for the instructions executed by the processing unit. In one implementation,controller 26 may be directly associated withdisplay 28, whereincontroller 26 not only directs what content is being presented ondisplay 28 but directs the operation ofdisplay 28 itself. - In another implementation,
controller 26 may be independent ofdisplay 28, wherein a separate controller receives the signals fromcontroller 26 and controls the functional operation ofdisplay 28 based upon signals fromcontroller 26. For example, in one implementation,controller 26 may be provided by a server remote fromdisplay 28, wherein signals indicating the content (images and data) to be presented ondisplay 28 are transmitted over a wide area network (Internet) or a local-area network in a wired or wireless fashion to the local controller ofdisplay 28. In one implementation,electronic input 22 anddisplay 28 may be provided as part of a fitness equipment unit or as part of a portable electronic device, wherein theelectronic input 22 receives signals indicating an excise metric by the person during an ongoing exercise session and transmits such signals to a remotely located controller 26 (such as a controller in the cloud or at a central computing site associate with a fitness facility). Using such signals,controller 26 generates control signals for directing what content should be displayed ondisplay 28 and transmits such control signals to the fitness equipment unit or to the portable electronic device includingelectronic input 22 and display 28. Upon receiving such control signals fromcontroller 26, display 28 presents the information to the person while he or she is exercising. -
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of anexample method 100 that may be carried out usingsystem 20 ofFIG. 1 . As indicated bystep 102 and depicted ondisplay 28 ofFIG. 1 ,controller 26 generates controlsignals causing display 28 to display or present adial 40 to a person while he or she is exercising. Thedial 40 may be presented on a monitor associated with a fitness equipment unit while the person is engaged in an exercise activity on the fitness equipment unit or may be presented on a portable electronic device viewable by the person while the person is engaged in an exercise activity. For example, a person running may view his or her computing wearable or may view another portable electronic device that he or she may be carrying while running, lifting weights (resistance training) and the like. Such a portable electronic device may be supported by a fitness equipment unit and viewed by the person while the person is engaged in an exercise session. - As indicated by
step 104,controller 26 generates controlsignals directing display 28 to display or present astart time indicator 42 representing a starting time for a multi-session exercise metric goal (MSEMG). The starting time is the time at which exercise metrics for sessions are first counted towards the multi-session excise metric goal. In the example illustrated, thestart time indicator 42 is displayed at the 12:00 clock position. In other implementations, thestart time indicator 42 may be displayed at other clock positions ondial 40. - In one implementation, indicator 42 (schematically shown) may comprise a single radially extending bar, line or mark on
dial 40. For purposes of this disclosure, an indicator is considered to be on the dial when the indicator is positioned within or outside of the perimeter ofdial 40, but circumferentially located with respect to the center point oraxis 44 ofdial 40, like numbering on a clock face. In other implementations,indicator 42 may comprise other graphical depictions or alphanumeric characters, such as a graphical depiction of a race starting line or the like. -
Indicator 42 provides a person exercising with an intuitive reference point for understanding other indicators ondial 40. In one implementation, startingindicator 42 is located so as to circumferentially coincide with the end time or finishing point for the MSEMG. In other words, the MSEMG value is proportioned 360 degrees aboutaxis 44. For example, a distance MSEMG of 10 miles would apportion an angle of 36 degrees aboutaxis 44 to each mile or 3.6 degrees to each tenth of a mile. Such an apportionment changes for each MSEMB depending upon the value of the MSEMG. In other implementations, although possibly being less intuitive to quickly visually determine status and advancement towards the multi session goal), startingindicator 42 may be angularly offset from the end time or finishing point for the MSEMG. - As indicated by step 106 and depicted on
dial 40 ofdisplay 28,controller 26 generates controlsignals directing display 28 to display or present anongoing performance indicator 48.Indicator 48 moves aboutaxis 44 in proportion to and based upon signals fromelectronic input 22 during an ongoing exercise session. The starting point during anyone exercise session for the position or location ofindicator 48 is the ending point forindicator 48 at the conclusion of the immediately preceding exercise session of the series of sessions during which the MSEMG is to be attained. For example, if the metric being measured is distance and during a first session the person runs or otherwise traverses 3 miles, the starting point forindicator 48 at the beginning of the second session would be the 3 mile location (angularly spaced aboutaxis 44 fromindicator 42 by an arc proportional to the three-mile value). If during a second session the person runs 7 miles, the starting point for the third session would be the 10 mile location (angularly spaced aboutaxis 44 fromindicator 42 by an arc having a length proportional to the 10 mile value). This information format allows a person exercising to quickly and intuitively ascertain his or her status with regard to an individual exercise session target as well as with regards to the longer-term multi-session exercise metric goal. As a result, the person exercising may maintain his or her focus on the exercise activity itself rather than on a display. - In one implementation, a rate at which
indicator 48 moves aboutaxis 44 is also proportional to the rate at which the value for an exercise metric is being increased. For example, whendial 40 is representing a distance MSEMG, the location ofindicator 48 aboutaxis 44 indicates a total distance achieved thus far, whereinindicator 48 will move faster or slower aboutaxis 44 depending upon how fast the person may be running. In other implementations, the location ofindicator 48 aboutaxis 44 ondisplay 28 may be adjusted at predetermined or predefined time intervals, whereinindicator 40 is stationary between such adjustment times. - As with
indicator 42, indicator 48 (schematically shown) may be visibly presented with various graphical depictions. For example,indicator 48 may comprise a single radially extending bar, line or mark ondial 40. In other implementations,indicator 42 may comprise other graphical depictions or alphanumeric characters, such as a graphical depiction of a runner or person exercising. - In one implementation, characteristics of
indicator 48 may change depending upon exercise performance characteristics. For example, in one implementation,indicator 48 may change color, brightness, flashing frequency or the like depending upon whether the signals received fromelectronic input 22 indicate that progress of a person towards an individual target excise metric is slowing down or is at a pace such that the individual session exercise metric will not be attained. As a result, the characteristics ofindicator 48 may indicate to the person that he or she should speed up or pick up the pace of activity during the individual exercise session. In such an implementation, the MSEMG may incorporate at least two metrics. For example, although the dial may represent a distance goal, the color of theindicator 48 may indicate whether or not a person is satisfying his or her predefined running pace objective while pursuing the distance goal. - As indicated by
step 108 and depicted ondial 40 ofdisplay 28 inFIG. 1 ,controller 26 generates controlsignals causing display 28 to display or present an adjustedcumulative indicator 54.Indicator 54 is angularly spaced from indicator 42 (the starting time indicator) aboutaxis 44 by a sum ofarc 58 andarc 60.Arc 58 is the angular distance aboutaxis 44 corresponding and proportional to the target value for the exercise metric for the ongoing individual exercise session. For example, a 10 session MSEMG goal of 100 miles may use an equal apportionment, wherein the target value for each exercise session is 10 miles. In an implementation where the full 360 degrees ofdial 40 corresponds to the 100 mile goal, the angular distance ofarc 58 would be 36 degrees. In other implementations, individual sessions may have different, unequal metric target values. For example, with respect to the above example, initial sessions may have target values of less than 10 miles while later sessions have target values of greater than 10 miles, allowing the person to build up his or her distance and endurance. In such implementations, the length ofarc 58 may vary depending upon which session is ongoing. -
Arc 60 corresponds and is proportional to a cumulation of exercise metric results of exercise sessions preceding the ongoing exercise session since the starting time. For example, if the ongoing exercise session is the third exercise session of the series of exercise sessions constituting the total number of exercise sessions, at the end of which the MSEMG goal is to be attained,arc 60 has an arcuate length proportional to the total value of the metric achieved during the previous two exercise sessions. For example, with respect to the above example, if the person completed 3 miles during the first session and 7 miles during a second session (a total distance of 10 miles out of the 100 mile total goal) prior to the ongoing third session,arc 60 would have an arcuate length of 36 degrees. -
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates fitness goal andguidance system 120, an example implementation ofsystem 20.System 120 is similar tosystem 20 except thatsystem 120 is specifically illustrated as comprisingelectronic input 122 andcontroller 126 in lieu ofelectronic input 22 andcontroller 26, respectively. As shown byFIG. 3 ,electronic input 122 comprises an electronic device to receive signals from multiple distinct sources, wherein the signals indicate an exercise metric by a person during an ongoing exercise session. In the example illustrated,electronic input 122 comprises one or more device to receive ongoing exercise performance metric values, in the form of electronic signals, fromfitness equipment units satellite navigation system 168 andmanual input 170.Fitness equipment units 164, 166 (also referred to as exercise machines, fitness machines, and the like) comprise distinct types of exercise machines or exercise equipment. Examples of different types offitness equipment units -
Satellite navigation system 168 comprises a space-based satellite system which provides locational information for use in determining distances traversed by a person during exercise independent of any fitness equipment unit. One example ofsatellite navigation system 168 comprises a global positioning system source. In such an implementation,electronic input 122 may comprise an appropriate antenna for receiving signals from thesatellite navigation system 168. -
Manual input 170 comprise a keyboard, touchpad, touch screen, mouse, stylus, microphone and speech recognition software alike by which a person may manually or personally enter data. For example, a person engaged with a resistive weightlifting machine may manually enter the weight being lifted or the number repetitions being lifted (in contrast to another implementation where such values may be sensed). In some implementations,manual input 170 may be further connected tocontroller 126 for inputting a MSEMG. - In one implementation,
electronic input 122 may be provided on a single portable electronic device having one or more ports, antennas and the like to facilitate communication with the different types of fitness equipment units and 164, 166, thesatellite navigation system 168 or themanual input 170. In such an implementation, the person or user may selectively connectelectronic input 122 to theparticular component electronic input 122 may comprise distinct sensors or antennas associated with the differentfitness equipment units satellite navigation system 168 andmanual input 170, wherein such the signals from the different locations are transmitted tocontroller 126. -
Controller 126 is similar tocontroller 26 except thecontroller 126 is specifically configured to carry outmethod 200 illustrated in the flow diagram ofFIG. 4 . As indicated bystep 202,controller 126 receives a MSEMG. As indicated bystep 202,controller 126 utilizes the received MSEMG and the associated number of sessions for achieving the goal to determine initial target metric values to be achieved during the different exercise sessions. In one implementation, the individual target session values may all be equal. In another implementation, the individual initial target session values may be different, such as where the target values ramp-up from one session to the next or peek at an intermediate session. Step 202 is generally carried out prior to the start of the first exercise session of the series of sessions. - As indicated by
step 204, prior to each exercise session,controller 126 obtains any prior session exercise metric results. During the first exercise session, there are no such results. As indicated bystep 206,controller 126 adds up the results of the previous individual exercise sessions to determine cumulative value of the prior metric results (CMR). As indicated by step 208,controller 126 compares the CMR to the MSEMG. The comparison identifies whether or not the person's performance, to date, is on track or in line with the end objective or goal. In one implementation,controller 126 may generate controlsignals causing display 28 to present the result of the comparison (a percentage completion value). - As indicated by step 210,
controller 126 utilizes the completed comparison to determine a session target adjustment (STA). The session target adjustment is a metric value to be added to (or subtracted from in the case of an overachieving pace for fear of burnout) to one or more of the predetermined initial session target values determined instep 202 so as to reduce or eliminate any difference between a current or actual pace of the person towards the multi-session exercise metric goal and a predetermined pace (determined in step 202) for the person to attain the multi-session exercise metric goal. In one implementation, the comparison is step 208 may indicate that the person is behind where he or she should be, wherein the deficiency is made up by a single session target adjustment. In another implementation, the deficiency may be made up by the deficiency amount being added to and spread across several successive exercise sessions. According to one example,system 120, during a setup mode, may allow the person or his or her trainer to indicate (using manual input 170) how fast any determined pace deficiencies should be made up during one of more subsequent exercise sessions. - As indicated by
step 212,controller 126 determines a multiple section exercise metric estimate using the current pace to date of the person. The current pace MSEM estimate is an estimate of the value of the metric that will have been attained upon completion of all of the sessions given the current pace which is based upon the cumulative metric results for those sessions completed to date. - As indicated by
step 214,controller 126 further determines the current MSEMG shortfall. The current MSEMG shortfall is an estimate of the final multiple session exercise metric based on the assumption that each of the subsequent initial session target values (determined in step 202) will be attained. For example, with regard to the above 10session 100 mile MSEMG, if after three sessions, the person has completed 18 miles, the current MSEMG shortfall would be 88 miles (100−(100/10×3 sessions−18)). - As indicated by step 216 and as depicted on
display 28 ofFIG. 3 ,controller 126 causes display 28 to presentindicators FIG. 3 , each of the indicators is indicated by a radial line, hash or mark. In other implementations, such indicators may comprise other graphics or icons. -
Indicators indicators Indicator 244 comprises an indicator ondial 40 indicating the determined CMR (pursuant to step 206).Indicator 260 comprises an indicator ondial 40 indicating a suggested alteration of the initial session target value for the one ongoing session (as indicated by indicator 254) based upon the determination made in step 210 ofmethod 200. In the example illustrated,indicator 260 is angularly spaced from indicator 254 aboutaxis 44 by anarc 270 having a length corresponding to determine cumulative shortfall for the metric after the last completed exercise session. In other words, the session target adjustment represented by the length ofarc 270 is proportional to a metric amount or value that will completely make up the deficiency in the ongoing exercise session.Indicator 262 ondial 40 represents an alternative session target adjustment having an arc length less thanarc 270, wherein the determined cumulative deficiency is made up and apportioned over multiple exercise sessions. -
Indicator 264 ondial 40 indicates the current pace MSEM determined instep 212.Indicator 266 ondial 40 indicates the current MSEMG shortfall as determined instep 214. In other implementations, one ofmore steps dial 40. - As indicated by step 218, once the ongoing exercise session has been completed,
controller 126 adds the value for the metric from the just completed exercise session to the prior CMR to determine the new CMR for use when determining indicators fordial 40 during the next exercise session. The new CMR is stored. - As indicated by
step 220,controller 126 determines whether the number of sessions identified for completion of the MSEMG have been concluded or completed. As indicated by arrow 222, if additional sessions remain in the allotted number of exercise sessions for completion of the MSEMG,controller 126 returns to step 208 and the process begins anew for the next exercise session. As indicated bystep 224, if the just completed ongoing session is the final session, the results are displayed. As indicated bystep 226, if the MSEMG was achieved,controller 126 transmits a reward signal to a reward implement 270 (shown inFIG. 3 ). The reward implement comprises any means or mechanism for implementing the reward. In one implementation, the reward signal may directdisplay 28 to present be a graphic ribbon, medal or token displayed to the person ondisplay 28. In another implementation, the reward signal may be transmitted to an insurance company or some other institution offering a monetary prize or other prize in return for a person meeting exerciser fitness goals. A monetary prize may be a discount on goods or services offered by the institution. For example, a health insurance provider may provide a lower health insurance premium based upon the reward signal. A fitness facility may offer a reward upon receiving such a reward signal such as decreased membership fees, enhanced priority for use of fitness equipment, clothing or other articles and the like. -
FIG. 5 illustrates fitness goal andguidance system 320, an example implementation ofsystem 20.System 320 comprises electronic input 122 (describe above) andcontroller 326.Controller 326 comprises an example implementation ofcontroller 126.Controller 326 is similar tocontroller 126 except thecontroller 326 omits the carrying out ofstep 212 and the display ofindicator 264.Controller 326 additionally is configured to generate controlsignals directing display 28 to present apercentage 323 of the MSEMG that has been momentarily attained proximate a center ofdial 40. Because the percentage is centrally located ondial 40, a person may easily see the ongoing percentage while viewing the other parameters indicated byindicators percentage 323 are further presented in the center of dial 40 (exercise metric being calories, wherein at the moment, 330 cal have been burned towards the goal of burning 1750 cal). - In the example illustrated,
controller 126 generates controlsignals directing display 28 to present additional information pertaining to the indicators presented ondial 40.
