Abstract
The invention relates to a motor driven turntable for a personal biofeedback apparatus and/or a medical diagnostic apparatus. The motor driven turntable includes a bottom plate, a rotatable top plate, a motor for driving the top plate, an integrated electronic scale for measuring the weight of a person positioned on the top plate and a wireless interface that permits communication between the scale and an external computer of the personal biofeedback apparatus and/or medical diagnostic apparatus.
Claims8
Motor driven turntable for at least one of a fitness monitoring, personal biofeedback and medical diagnostic apparatus having an external computer, the motor driven turntable comprising:
- a bottom plate,
- a top plate rotatably connected to the bottom plate,
- a motor connected for rotatably driving the top plate,
- an integrated electronic scale for measuring the weight of a person positioned on the top plate and
- a wireless interface connected to the integrated electronic scale and configured to permit the integrated electronic scale to communicate with the external computer of the fitness monitoring, personal biofeedback and medical diagnostic apparatus;
- a position detection unit carried by the bottom plate and configured for measurement of an angular position of the top plate;
- and
- a microprocessor connected to the integrated electronic scale and configured to acquire data from the integrated electronic scale;
- wherein the wireless interface is configured to provide the acquired data from the microprocessor to the external computer;
- wherein the wireless interface is configured to provide the acquired data from the microprocessor to supply data of the angular position of the top plate to the external computer;
- wherein the wireless interface is configured to provide the acquired data from the microprocessor to supply data of the person's weight to the external computer;
- and
- wherein the wireless interface is configured to allow the external computer to control the motor.
Arrangement for fitness monitoring, personal biofeedback or medical diagnostic of an inspected person, the arrangement comprising:
- an external computer;
- an apparatus configured for optical measurement of a body of the inspected person, wherein the apparatus is a 3D body scanner that includes the external computer;
- a motor driven turntable including a bottom plate, a top plate rotatably connected to the bottom plate, a motor connected for rotatably driving the top plate, an integrated electronic scale for measuring the weight of a person positioned on the top plate;
- a first wireless interface connected to the integrated electronic scale and configured to permit the integrated electronic scale to communicate with the external computer of the apparatus;
- and
- a position detection unit carried by the bottom plate and configured for measurement of an angular position of the top plate;
- wherein the external computer includes a second wireless interface, which is wirelessly connected to the first wireless interface so that the external computer is able to control the motor of the motor driven turnable;
- and
- wherein the external computer includes a third wireless interface configured for connecting the external computer to a smartphone.
