Abstract

A more efficient exercise system can be facilitated by interactive components. A system can comprise receiving distance data, from a wireless network device, associated with a selection of a weight of an exercise machine. Based on the distance data, the system can generate resistance data representative of a resistance associated with the exercise machine. Additionally, in response to the generating the resistance data, the system can assign the resistance data to a user identity associated with a mobile device.

Claims (44)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a pin for selecting a weight of a weight stack of an exercise machine;

an accelerometer configured to generate acceleration data associated with a motion of the pin;

an infrared sensor configured to generate distance data based on a distance of the pin from a location;

a receiver configured to receive a first wireless signal from a mobile device in response to the mobile device being determined to be a defined distance from the apparatus; and

a transceiver configured to transmit a second wireless signal comprising prompt data to the mobile device in response to the receiver receiving the first wireless signal.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the distance data is associated with a resistance of the exercise machine.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a magnet capable of magnetically attaching the pin to the weight.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a protective housing encasing the accelerometer and the infrared sensor.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the prompt data comprises a prompt to select the apparatus, via the mobile device, for use.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless signal comprises user identity data representative of a user identity of the mobile device.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the weight is a first weight, and wherein the prompt data comprises a prompt to relocate the pin to a second weight of the weight stack, different than the first weight, based on the user identity data.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the user identity data comprises physical characteristic data representative of a physical characteristic of a user associated with the user identity.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising:

a caloric estimation component configured to generate caloric expenditure data based on the acceleration data, the distance data, and the physical characteristic data.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a biometric verification component configured to:

verify an identity associated with a user of the apparatus via a first verification of the identity; and

receive verification data, from the mobile device, associated with a second verification of the identity associated with the user.

11. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

generating acceleration data associated with a motion of a pin;

generating distance data based on a distance of the pin from a location;

receiving a first wireless signal from a mobile device in response to the mobile device being determined to be a defined distance from the pin; and

in response to the receiving the first wireless signal, transmitting a second wireless signal, comprising prompt data, to the mobile device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the prompt data comprises a prompt to verify that the mobile device is to receive a third wireless signal comprising resistance data representative of a resistance associated with a weight selected by the pin.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

based on receiving verification data in response to the prompt, facilitating displaying the resistance data and repetition data via a display screen of the mobile device.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is a first mobile device, and wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to weight data associated with a previously selected weight being determine to have been sent to a second mobile device, receiving, from the second mobile device, weight selection data representative of a weight to be selected; and

sending a third wireless signal, comprising the weight to be selected, to the first mobile device to be played audibly.

15. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

facilitating generating acceleration data associated with a motion of a pin;

facilitating generating distance data based on a distance of the pin from a location;

in response to a mobile device being determined to be a defined range from the pin, facilitating receiving user identity data associated with the mobile device; and

based on the facilitating the receiving the user identity data, facilitating transmitting prompt data, representative of a request to confirm a communication between the pin and the mobile device, to the mobile device.

16. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

facilitating generating an audible signal to be output by the mobile device, wherein the audible signal comprises a selection instruction representative of a weight to be selected by the pin.

17. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the prompt data comprises a prompt to relocate the pin to a weight of a weight stack, different than a current weight, based on the user identity data.

18. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

facilitating receiving biometric data associated with a user of the pin, wherein the biometric data comprises fingerprint data representative of a fingerprint of a user identity of the pin.
