Abstract

A monitoring system can include an electronic device operably coupled with a vehicle. One or more sensors operably can be operably coupled with the electronic device. A user interface can be operably coupled with the electronic device. A controller can be operably coupled with the electronic device. The controller can be configured to receive data from the one or more sensors and provide an instruction to the electronic device based on the data from the one or more sensors, wherein the instruction is related to mitigating an upcoming information of interest along a route.

Claims (42)

1. A monitoring system comprising:

an electronic device operably coupled with a bicycle;

one or more sensors operably coupled with the electronic device;

a user interface operably coupled with the electronic device, the user interface including a display; and

a controller operably coupled with the electronic device, the controller configured to:

receive data from the one or more sensors; and

provide an instruction to the electronic device based on the data from the one or more sensors, wherein the instruction is provided through one or more overlaid graphics on the display is related to mitigating an upcoming information of interest along a route.

2. The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors are integrated within a cellular device that is be removably attached to the bicycle.

3. The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the instruction is for adjusting one or more components of the bicycle through a control device.

4. The monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a control device operably coupled with the controller, the control device configured to alter one or more actuable components of the bicycle.

5. The monitoring system of claim 4 , wherein the control device is configured to alter a tire pressure of at least one tire of the bicycle through an inflation/deflation system.

6. The monitoring system of claim 4 , wherein the actuable components includes at least one of a rear suspension assembly, a dynamic geometry configuration that is configured to alter a geometry of a front of the bicycle, a seat adjustment device, a front suspension assembly, or a pedal assembly.

7. The monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an application interface communicatively coupled with a network/cloud, wherein the information of interest is inputted through the application interface or the information of interest is received by the application interface through the network/cloud.

8. The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is activated by a user to manually identify the information of interest, and wherein the controller is further configured to receive information from the user interface and provide the instruction to the electronic device based on the data from the one or more sensors and the information from the user interface.

9. The monitoring system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more sensors is used to confirm the information of interest or vice versa.

10. The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is operably coupled with a machine learning engine to determine the instruction to be provided to the electronic device.

11. The monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the instruction is a first instruction or a second instruction, and wherein the machine learning engine is configured to provide the first instruction to a first individual based on data related to a characteristic and a second instruction to the second individual based on the data related to the characteristic.

12. A monitoring system comprising:

a training system configured to enable virtual experiences;

an electronic device operably coupled with a bicycle;

one or more sensors operably coupled with the electronic device; and

a controller operably coupled with the electronic device, the controller configured to:

receive data from the one or more sensors as the bicycle traverses a route; and

correlate the route to an operation routine for the training system based on the data received from the one or more sensors.

13. The monitoring system of claim 12 , wherein the data includes video footage categorized by characteristics including at least one of an activity type, a duration, or a time of year.

14. The monitoring system of claim 12 , wherein the controller is operably coupled with an overall media platform to curate the operation routine, and wherein each routine is labeled based on an activity and includes relevant smart course data.

15. The monitoring system of claim 14 , wherein the electronic device is communicatively coupled with a network/cloud to transmit one or more of GPS coordinates, speed, acceleration, captured video footage, power information, cadence information, or heart rate information to a remote source.

16. The monitoring system of claim 12 , wherein the operation routine is labeled based on an activity, point of view video, and the data from the one or more sensors, and wherein the operation routine is viewed remotely from the bicycle.

17. A monitoring system comprising:

an electronic device operably coupled with a bicycle;

a positioning device operably coupled with the electronic device;

a user interface operably coupled with the electronic device; and

a controller operably coupled with the electronic device and a database for storing data received from one or more sensors, the controller configured to:

receive a location of the bicycle from the positioning device;

determine one or more upcoming terrain features based on the location of the bicycle from the positioning device and the data received from one or more sensors; and

display information related to the upcoming one or more upcoming terrain features on the user interface, wherein the information is at least partially based on a user-specific level of information.

18. The monitoring system of claim 17 , wherein the user interface includes a display, and wherein the information related to the one or more upcoming terrain features includes one or more graphics to a user of the upcoming terrain.

19. The monitoring system of claim 18 , further comprising:

an imaging sensor mounted on the bicycle, wherein the data received from the one or more sensors includes at least mapping data and the imaging sensor is configured to collect data related to a front tire position of the bicycle relative to the mapping data, and wherein the display provides an image of the upcoming terrain and the information is configured as overlaid graphics on the image.

20. The monitoring system of claim 19 , wherein the overlaid graphics are updated based on a current direction of a steered wheel of the bicycle.
