Abstract

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to receive a first signal from an exercising device, process the received signal, respond to the received signal by transmitting a second signal to the exercising device, and participate in a pairing process with the exercising device.

Claims (38)

1. A wrist watch comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the wrist watch at least to:

receive a first signal from a stationary exercising device,

process the received signal,

respond to the received signal by transmitting a second signal to the stationary exercising device,

participate in a pairing process with the stationary exercising device,

receive a graphical user interface providing at least one user functionality from the stationary exercising device after the pairing process, and

transmit user input data to the stationary exercising device via the graphical user interface,

wherein the wrist watch is enabled to act as a client whose content is fully or at least partially controlled by the stationary exercising device which acts as a server having control of the user interface of the wrist watch, and

wherein the wrist watch is configured to store and process program code received from the stationary exercising device, and

wherein the user input data is configured to control parameters or functions of the stationary exercising device.

2. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is capable of receiving parameters and/or logics from the stationary exercising device.

3. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is capable of processing instructions received from the stationary exercising device.

4. The wrist watch according to claim 3 , wherein the wrist watch is capable of starting calculations based on the received instructions.

5. The wrist watch according to claim 3 , wherein the wrist watch is capable of starting user interface methods based on the received instructions.

6. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is capable of receiving a recipe or instruction from the stationary exercising device how to analyze movements of a user.

7. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is capable of controlling a music program or a music playlist stored in the memory of the stationary exercising device or in the memory of a second mobile device.

8. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is configured to serve as a display and/or a memory of the stationary exercising device.

9. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is configured to participate in the pairing process during a session with the stationary exercising device.

10. The wrist watch according to claim 9 , wherein the session is based on sensors of the wrist watch and the stationary exercising device.

11. The wrist watch according to claim 1 , wherein the wrist watch is configured to receive sensor data from the stationary exercising device and to transmit in response input parameters to the stationary exercising device.

12. A stationary exercising device comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the exercising device at least to:

transmit a first signal to a wrist watch,

receive a second signal from the wrist watch, and

participate in pairing with the wrist watch,

transmit a graphical user interface providing at least one user functionality to the wrist watch after the pairing process,

receive user input data from the wrist watch via the graphical user interface, wherein the wrist watch is enabled to act as a client whose content is fully or at least partially controlled by the stationary exercising device which acts as a server having control of the user interface of the wrist watch, and

wherein the stationary exercising device is configured to transmit program code to be stored and processed by the wrist watch, and

wherein the user input data is configured to control parameters or functions of the stationary exercising device.

13. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is capable of transmitting parameters and/or logics to the wrist watch.

14. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is capable of transmitting instructions to the wrist watch.

15. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is capable of receiving data which has been input via the graphical user interface.

16. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is capable of transmitting a recipe or an instruction to the wrist watch how to analyze movements of a user.

17. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is an ergometer, a weight lifting device, a treadmill, a rowing machine, or a cross trainer.

18. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is configured to transmit data to the wrist watch, which data is to be displayed on a display of the wrist watch.

19. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is configured to participate in the pairing process during a session with the wrist watch.

20. The stationary exercising device according to claim 19 , wherein the session is based on sensors of the wrist watch and the stationary exercising device.

21. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is configured to transmit sensor data to the wrist watch and to receive in response input parameters from the wrist watch.

22. The stationary exercising device according to claim 12 , wherein the stationary exercising device is capable of receiving instructions from the wrist watch.
