Abstract

An exercise machine includes a motor that drives a belt to move, and an analysis system to collect a peak energy from the motor and to convert the peak energy into different user exercising data.

Claims (14)

1. An energy analyzing method for an exercise machine, which comprises the steps of:

(a) collecting a peak energy from a motor of said exercise machine in response to a dragging force on a belt of said exercise machine, wherein said peak energy is collected by the steps of:

(a.1) determining an initial energy from said motor to maintain said belt at a constant speed when said motor is in an idle position; and

(a.2) determining an additional energy from said motor to maintain said belt at said constant speed when said dragging force is applied on said belt, wherein said additional energy from said motor is said peak energy; and

(b) analyzing said peak energy and converting said peak energy into different exercising data which are selected from a group consisting of an energy consumption data of the user in form of calories, step data, a step balancing analysis data, a weight analysis data, and a user weight identification data, wherein, in the step (b), said energy consumption data is converted from said peak energy from said motor to calculate how many calories the user burnt in response to said peak energy.

2. An energy analyzing method for an exercise machine, which comprises the steps of:

(a) collecting a peak energy from a motor of said exercise machine in response to a dragging force on a belt of said exercise machine, wherein said peak energy is collected by the steps of:

(a.1) determining an initial energy from said motor to maintain said belt at a constant speed when said motor is in an idle position; and

(a.2) determining an additional energy from said motor to maintain said belt at said constant speed when said dragging force is applied on said belt, wherein said additional energy from said motor is said peak energy; and

(b) analyzing said peak energy and converting said peak energy into different exercising data which are selected from a group consisting of an energy consumption data of the user in form of calories, step data, a step balancing analysis data, a weight analysis data, and a user weight identification data, wherein, in the step (b), said step data is converted by a detection of said dragging force on said belt that a speed sensor collects a step signal from each step of the user and combine said step signals to a feedback signal, such that said feedback signal includes a frequency of said step signal and a value of each step signal, wherein said frequency of said speed signal is defined by a frequency of the steps provided by the user's right and left feet.

3. The energy analyzing method, as recited in claim 2 , wherein the step (b) further comprises a step of calculating total number of steps within a period of time in response to said step signal.

4. The energy analyzing method, as recited in claim 2 , wherein the step (b) further comprises a step of measuring a value of weight provided by each step of the user's right and left feet, wherein said step signal from each step includes the value of each step signal, so that the values of said step signal are calculated to be an amount of forces provided by the user's right and left feet.

5. The energy analyzing method, as recited in claim 2 , wherein the step (b) further comprises a step of calculating a weight of the user.

6. The energy analyzing method, as recited in claim 2 , wherein the step (b) further comprises a step of identifying the user by a weight of the user.
