Exercise computer with zoom function and methods for displaying data using an exercise computer

A method of displaying exercise data on an exercise computer, the exercise computer including a processing unit coupled to a non-transitory storage and a display, the method comprising:

• retrieving a page object from the non-transitory storage, the page object including an ordered list of data fields;
• retrieving a first page layout of a plurality of page layouts stored in the non-transitory storage, the first page layout including a first arrangement of cells for displaying a first set of the data fields on the display;
• rendering the page object on the display according to the first page layout;
• receiving a zoom level change command at the processing unit;
• retrieving a second page layout of the plurality of page layouts, the second page layout including a second arrangement of cells for displaying a second set of the ordered list of data fields on the display, wherein the second set of the ordered list of data fields is one of a proper subset of the first set of data fields eliminating at least one data field from the first set of data fields based on the ordering of the list than the first set of data fields or a proper superset of the first set of the data fields adding at least one more data field based on the ordering of the list than the first set of data fields;
• and
• in response to the zoom level change command, rendering the page object according to the second page layout.

An exercise computer comprising:

• a processing unit in communication with a non-transitory storage and a display;
• a page object stored in the non-transitory storage, the page object comprising an ordered list of data fields;
• a plurality of page layouts stored in the non-transitory storage of the plurality of layouts including a respective arrangement of cells for displaying data values for a respective range of the ordered list of data fields on the display;
• and
• a zoom button in communication with the processing unit,
• wherein the processing unit is configured to:
• render the page object on the display according to a first page layout of the plurality of page layouts, the first page layout having a first arrangement of cells corresponding to a first range of the ordered list of data fields;
• and
• in response to receiving a command to change page layouts, the command received in response to activation of the zoom button, re-render the page object on the display according to a second page layout of the plurality of page layouts, the second page layout having a second arrangement of cells corresponding to a second range of the ordered list of data fields,
• wherein:
• the zoom button is a zoom-in button,
• the second range is less than the first range such that re-rendering the page object according to the second page layout displays fewer data fields than rendering the page object according to the first page layout, and
• each of the first range and the second range includes a common data field of the ordered list of data fields, the cell of the second arrangement for displaying the common data field being larger than the cell of the first arrangement for displaying the common data field.

An exercise computer comprising:

• a processing unit in communication with a non-transitory storage and a display;
• a page object stored in the non-transitory storage, the page object comprising an ordered list of data fields;
• a plurality of page layouts stored in the non-transitory storage of the plurality of layouts including a respective arrangement of cells for displaying data values for a respective range of the ordered list of data fields on the display;
• and
• a zoom button in communication with the processing unit,
• wherein the processing unit is configured to:
• render the page object on the display according to a first page layout of the plurality of page layouts, the first page layout having a first arrangement of cells corresponding to a first range of the ordered list of data fields;
• and
• in response to receiving a command to change page layouts, the command received in response to activation of the zoom button, re-render the page object on the display according to a second page layout of the plurality of page layouts, the second page layout having a second arrangement of cells corresponding to a second range of the ordered list of data fields,
• wherein:
• the zoom button is a zoom-out button,
• the second range is greater than the first range such that re-rendering the page object according to the second page layout displays more data fields than rendering the page object according to the first page layout, and
• each of the first range and the second range includes a common data field of the ordered list of data fields, the cell of the second arrangement for displaying the common data field being smaller than the cell of the first arrangement for displaying the common data field.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for performing a computer process on an exercise computer, the exercise computer including a processing unit in communication with one or more memory devices and a display, the computer process comprising:

• retrieving a page object from the one or more memory devices, the page object including an ordered list of data fields;
• retrieving a first page layout from the one or more memory devices, the first page layout including a first arrangement of cells for displaying a first set of the data fields on the display;
• rendering the page object on the display according to the first page layout;
• receiving a zoom level change command;
• retrieving a second page layout from the one or more memory devices, the second page layout including a second arrangement of cells for displaying a second set of the ordered list of data fields on the display, wherein the second set of the ordered list of data fields is one of a proper subset of the first set of data fields eliminating at least one data field than the first set of data fields based on the ordering of the ordered list or a proper superset of the first set of the data fields adding at least one more data field than the first set of data fields based on the ordering of the ordered list;
• and
• rendering, in response to receiving the zoom level change command, the page object according to the second layout.

An exercise computer comprising:

• a housing;
• a display disposed within the housing, the display configured to selectively display each of a plurality of layouts for presenting data values pertaining to ranked data fields, each of the plurality of layouts corresponding to a different zoom level wherein each zoom level includes a different quantity of data values pertaining to the ranked data fields;
• a zoom-in button disposed on the housing and in communication with the display, wherein in response to actuation of the zoom-in button, the display changes to a first layout in which fewer data values are displayed relative to a current layout;
• and
• a zoom-out button disposed on the housing and in communication with the display, wherein in response to actuation of the zoom-out button, the display changes to a second layout in which more data values are displayed relative to the current layout.
