Abstract

An all-in-one smart console, which is a self-contained unit, includes a control module for controlling an operation of the exercise machine, a command system operatively linked to the control module for receiving exercise related information from the exercise machine and data from the portable wireless communication device, and a fitness analysis module operatively linked to the control module for collecting exercise related information of the exercise machine and generating an exercise result based on the exercise related information.

Claims (19)

1. A method for integrating exercise related information of a user from an exercise machine to a portable wireless communication device, comprising the steps of:

(a) during the user is exercising, collecting exercise related information from said exercise machine by a smart console which is communicatively linked to said portable wireless communication device and controls an operation of said exercise machine;

(d) generating an exercise result based on said exercise related information by said smart console; and

(c) enabling said wireless communication device to view said exercise result and sending said exercise result from said smart console to a server that said portable wireless communication device is able to view said exercise result in said server, wherein said smart console is prohibited to communicate with said server until said exercise result generated by said all-in-one smart console and sent to said server.

2. The method, as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a step (d) of storing said exercise result in said server for enabling the user to access and view.

3. The method as recited in claim 2 wherein, in the step (a), said smart console is activated that said portable wireless communication device serves as a remote display and input device only, so as to restrict said exercise related information to be exchanged between said smart console and said portable wireless communication device.

4. A method for integrating exercise related information of a user from an exercise machine to a portable wireless communication device, comprising the steps of:

(a) during the user is exercising, collecting exercise related information from said exercise machine by a smart console which is communicatively linked to said portable wireless communication device and controls an operation of said exercise machine, wherein said smart console is activated that said portable wireless communication device serves as a remote display and input device only, so as to restrict said exercise related information to be exchanged between said all-in-one smart console and said portable wireless communication device;

(d) generating an exercise result based on said exercise related information by said smart console; and

(c) enabling said wireless communication device to view said exercise result.

5. A smart console of an exercise system for integrating exercise related information of a user from an exercise machine to a portable wireless communication device, comprising:

a control module controlling an operation of said exercise machine;

a command system, which is operatively linked to said control module, receiving exercise related information from said exercise machine and data from said portable wireless communication device;

a fitness analysis module, which is operatively linked to said control module, collecting exercise related information of said exercise machine and generating an exercise result based on said exercise related information; and

a user interface, which is controlled by said control module, communicating with said portable wireless communication device that said portable wireless communication device serves as a remote display and input device only for said control module.

6. The smart console, as recited in claim 5 , further comprising a communication module operatively linked to said control module for wirelessly connecting with an external fitness equipment so as to collect said exercise related information from said external fitness equipment to said command system.

7. The exercise system, as recited in claim 5 , further comprising a server communicatively linked to said control module, wherein only said exercise result is sent to and stored in said server.

8. The smart console, as recited in claim 5 , wherein said control module further comprises a plurality of different fitness programs to be selected.

9. The smart console, as recited in claim 8 , wherein said plurality of different fitness programs are selected via said portable wireless communication device functioning as an input device.
