Apparatus for measuring biological data and exercise machines

An apparatus for measuring biological data of a user, said apparatus comprising:

• data obtaining means for simultaneously obtaining fingerprint data and a first signal from the body of said user;
• first identifying means for determining whether or not said user is one of registered users by using said fingerprint data;
• measuring means for measuring biological data of said user and thereby obtaining a second signal from the body of said user;
• memory means for storing said biological data measured by said measuring means and said first signal;
• and
• second identifying means for determining whether or not said user is the user identified by said first identifying means by using said first signal stored in said memory means and said second signal.

An exercise machine comprising:

• data obtaining means for simultaneously obtaining fingerprint data and a first signal obtained from the body of a user using said exercise machine;
• first identifying means for determining whether or not said user is one of registered users by using said fingerprint data;
• exercising means for aiding said user to carry out exercises, obtaining exercise data on amount of exercise carried out by said user and a second signal from body of said user and saving said exercise data;
• second identifying means for determining whether or not said user is the user identified by said first identifying means by using said first signal obtained by said first identifying means and said second signal obtained by said exercising means together with said exercise data;
• and
• memory means for storing said exercise data.

An exercise machine comprising:

• data obtaining means for simultaneously obtaining fingerprint data and a first signal obtained from the body of a user using said exercise machine;
• first identifying means for determining whether or not said user is one of registered users by using said fingerprint data;
• exercising means for aiding said user to carry out exercises, obtaining exercise data on amount of exercise carried out by said user and a second signal from body of said user and saving said exercise data;
• memory means for storing said exercise data and said first signal;
• and
• second identifying means for determining whether or not said user is the user identified by said first identifying means by using said first signal stored in said memory means and said second signal obtained by said exercising means together with said exercise data.
