Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to body-building machines, and
particularly to a display device of a body building machine,
wherein the display panel can present the stages and states of some
objects about the exercise with different colors so as to alert the
user about the exercise states clearly.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Currently, body-building has become a popular activity. More
and more people engages this activity for health and body shaping.
Generally, the body building machine has a simple display form
which displays data about the exercise or some default data or
setting data so that the user can know the state in exercise and
thus to adjust the exercise state himself (herself).
[0003] However the display of the prior art body building machine
is single color display so that the presentation is dull. If some
alert messages desire to be presented to the users, the single
color cannot capture the attention of the users. Although some
body-building machines emit sounds to alert the user about the
state of the exercise, but the sound is too noisy so that the user
will feel uncomfortable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is
to provide a display device of a body building machine, wherein the
display panel can present the stages and states of some objects
about the exercise with different colors so as to alert the user
about the exercise states clearly.
[0005] To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a
display device of a body building machine, comprising: a control
portion having as plurality of buttons for controlling the setting
of the setting of the processing and display unit; the processing
and display unit having a display panel which can display objects
by various colors; the processing and display unit serves to
display various information in exercise; the display panel
displaying the various states of various items by different colors;
tech item and state can be represented independent for alerting the
users. In the display panel, the set data is represented by a first
color; when the data is changed at an initial state, a second color
different from the first color is used to display the data; and
wherein the processing and display unit displays the data about
exercise time, exercise speed, pulses, heat consumption.
[0006] The various objects and advantages of the present invention
will be more readily understood from the following detailed
description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the display device of a body
building machine of the present invention.
[0008] FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the operation of the
present invention.
[0009] FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the setting state of the
present invention.
[0010] FIGS. 4.about.6 are schematic view showing the different
stages in the display panel of the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 7 is a schematic cross sectional view showing the alert
state according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] In order that those skilled in the art can further
understand the present invention, a description will be provided in
the following in details. However, these descriptions and the
appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art
to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the
present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and
spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
[0013] A display device 1 of a body-building machine according to
the present invention is illustrated. Herein, the body-building
machine is a running exercise machine, however this is not used to
confine the scope of the present invention. The present invention
includes a control portion 10 and a processing and display unit
20.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, a control portion 10 has as plurality
of buttons for controlling the setting of the processing and
display unit 20, for example to set the speed, running distance and
time period in running.
[0015] The processing and display unit 20 has a display panel 21
which can display objects by various colors, such as a liquid
crystal display. The processing and display unit 20 serves to
display various information, such as running time period, distance,
pulses of the runner, heat consumption of the runner, etc. The
display panel 21 displays the various states of various items by
different colors. Each item and state can be represented
independent for alerting the users.
[0016] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 7, initially, the control portion 10
is actuated for starting the processing and display unit 20. See
FIG. 2, the display panel 21 will display various quantized items
and reset values of these items.
[0017] Next, the exercising objects and the related messages of the
quantized items are set through the control portion 10. In this
embodiment, the heart rate control (or pulse) is used as the object
to be controlled. Referring to FIG. 3, the display panel 21
displays a first color. Referring to FIG. 3, the display panel 21
displays the current state of the pulse in a main display area 211
and other quantized items are listed in a sub-display area 212.
[0018] When the exercise is started, the processing and display
unit 20 calculates and records the items which are displayed by a
second color, as shown in FIG. 4. The main display area 211
displays the initial messages and the sub-display area 212 displays
the other quantized items at current time. In this embodiment, we
assume the threshold of the pulse is 72. It represents that when
the pulse of the runner is over 72, the color of the display panel
21 will be changed for alerting the runner so that the runner can
know his (or her) body state.
[0019] Referring to FIG. 5, as illustrated in the main display area
211, when the pulse is 102, the display panel 21 will display the
pulse by a third color and the sub-display area 212 will display a
next threshold of 107.
[0020] In similar process, when the sub-display area 212 displays a
threshold of 129, and the pulse in the main display area 211 is
also 129, the main display area 211 will present with a fourth
color so as to alert the runner to retain the exercise at this
speed which is an effective exercise.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 7, when the sub-display area 212 displays
a threshold of 149 and then pulse in the main display area 211
achieves this values, the main display area 211 displays with a
very clear color or strong color, such as red color or green color
which is different from above first to fourth color and can be
identified by runner easily so as to alert the amount of exercise
is sufficient and it is necessary to reduce the extent of the
exercise so as to reduce the pulse rate.
[0022] Thus, in the present invention, the runner can select
exercise objects by using the control portion 10 and the exercise
states which may be default values or set by users can be displayed
by different colors so as to inform the user the state in exercise.
Thereby the exercise is effective and proper. Thereby no noisy
sound is emitted to interfere the users.
[0023] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious
that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not
to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the
present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious
to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the
scope of the following claims.
