Abstract

Methods and non-transitory, machine-readable media for displaying fitness information with an electronic device may include receiving multimedia content at an input of the electronic device. The electronic device may provide the audiovisual content to a display device. The electronic device may also receive fitness information, and may provide this fitness information to the display device.

Claims (29)

1. A method of displaying fitness information with an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving, by the electronic device, audiovisual content via a first input of the electronic device;

providing, by the electronic device, the audiovisual content to a display device communicatively coupled with an output component of the electronic device;

receiving, by the electronic device, fitness information via a second input of the electronic device; and

providing, by the electronic device, the fitness information to the display device via the output component and/or a different output component of the electronic device, wherein the fitness information is provided to the display device overlaying the audiovisual content provided to the display device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fitness information is received from an exercise device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fitness information is received from a remote control associated with the electronic device, wherein the remote control is communicatively coupled with the exercise device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fitness information is received from a mobile device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the fitness information is unrelated to the audiovisual content.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving input at the electronic device from a remote control associated with the electronic device; and

providing a control signal from the electronic device to an exercise device to adjust operation of the exercise device commensurate with the received input.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fitness information comprises one or more items of vital information about a user, or one or more items of operational information about an exercise device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fitness information is provided in response to a control signal received from a remote control associated with the electronic device, and wherein the fitness information is provided in a dedicated portion of the display device.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an input from a remote control associated with the electronic device to scroll to additional fitness information being received by the electronic device.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving temperature information at the electronic device from a temperature sensor;

determining at the electronic device that a temperature of a space associated with the electronic device has increased since the receiving of the fitness information began; and

providing a control signal from the electronic device to a communicatively coupled heating or air conditioning system to adjust the temperature of the space.

11. One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, facilitates displaying fitness information with an electronic device, causing the one or more processing devices to:

process multimedia content received via a first input of the electronic device;

cause output of the multimedia content to a display device communicatively coupled with an output component of the electronic device;

process fitness information received via a second input of the electronic device; and

cause output of the fitness information to the display device, via the output component and/or a different output component of the electronic device, with the fitness information overlaid on multimedia content.

12. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the fitness information is received from an exercise device.

13. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 12 , wherein the fitness information is received from a remote control associated with the electronic device, wherein the remote control is communicatively coupled with the exercise device.

14. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the fitness information is received from a mobile device.

15. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the fitness information is unrelated to the multimedia content.
