Abstract
Described herein is a mechanism for preventing exercise devices from storing user exercise data and enabling the user to securely record that data. When a user selects an exercise device for performing an exercise, a user's device may establish a connection with the exercise device. When an exercise program is started on the exercise device, the user's device interfaces with the sensors directly while bypassing the computing device. When a direct sensor link with the sensors is created, the sensor link replaces a link between the sensors and the computing device on the exercise equipment. The user's device then receives exercise data through the sensor link directly from the sensors bypassing the computing device on the exercise equipment.
Claims18
A method of a user device for preventing exercise devices from receiving user exercise data, the method comprising:
- establishing, by the user device, a connection with an exercise device that includes a computing device and a plurality of sensors, the computing device configured to store exercise data sensed by the plurality of sensors via a first link between the computing device and the plurality of sensors;
- transmitting, by the user device, a request to the exercise device, the request for the user device to directly interface with the plurality of sensors rather than interface directly interface with the computing device;
- transmitting, by the user device, a command to the plurality of sensors to stop transmitting sensor data to the computing device;
- establishing, by the user device, a second link with the plurality of sensors using connection parameters, the second link replacing the first link between the computing device and the plurality of sensors thereby bypassing the computing device;
- receiving, by the user device, exercise data sensed by the plurality of sensors during an exercise program of the exercise device, the exercise data received by the user device via the second link without the exercise data being transmitted to the computing device for storage via the first link;
- and
- displaying, by the user device, the received exercise data.
A method of an exercise device for preventing receipt of user exercise data, the method comprising:
- establishing, by the exercise device, a connection with a user device, wherein the exercise device includes a computing device and a plurality of sensors, the computing device configured to store exercise data sensed by the plurality of sensors via a first link between the computing device and the plurality of sensors;
- receiving, by the exercise device, a request from the user device to directly interface with the plurality of sensors rather than interface directly interface with the computing device;
- receiving, by the exercise device, a command from the user device for the plurality of sensors to stop transmitting sensor data to the computing device;
- establishing, by the exercise device, a second link between the user device and the plurality of sensors using connection parameters, the second link replacing the first link between the computing device and the plurality of sensors thereby bypassing the computing device;
- and
- transmitting, by the exercise device, exercise data sensed by the plurality of sensors during an exercise program of the exercise device, the exercise data transmitted to the user device via the second link without the exercise data being transmitted to the computing device for storage via the first link.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising memory with instructions encoded thereon for preventing exercise devices from receiving user exercise data, the instructions causing one or more processors to perform operations when executed, the instructions comprising instructions to:
- establishing, by the user device, a connection with an exercise device that includes a computing device and a plurality of sensors, the computing device configured to store exercise data sensed by the plurality of sensors via a first link between the computing device and the plurality of sensors;
- transmitting, by the user device, a request to the exercise device, the request for the user device to directly interface with the plurality of sensors rather than interface directly interface with the computing device;
- transmitting, by the user device, a command to the plurality of sensors to stop transmitting sensor data to the computing device;
- establishing, by the user device, a second link with the plurality of sensors using connection parameters, the second link replacing the first link between the computing device and the plurality of sensors thereby bypassing the computing device;
- receiving, by the user device, exercise data sensed by the plurality of sensors during an exercise program of the exercise device, the exercise data received by the user device via the second link without the exercise data being transmitted to the computing device for storage via the first link;
- and
- displaying, by the user device, the received exercise data.
An exercise device comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to sense exercise data;
- a computing device configured to store the exercise data;
- a first link configured to connect the computing device to the plurality of sensors,
- wherein the exercise device receives a command from a user device for the plurality of sensors to stop transmitting sensor data to the computing device and the plurality of sensors are further configured to transmit exercise data sensed during an exercise program to the user device via a second link between the plurality of sensors and the user device without the exercise data being transmitted to the computing device for storage via the first link responsive to a request from the user device to directly interface with the plurality of sensors rather than directly interface with the computing device.
