Abstract
An exercise machine with an adaptive interface comprises: a processing unit (7) for managing and controlling the machine; sensor means (9) for transferring information about the machine operating state to the processing unit (7); a user interface (10) equipped with means (11) for displaying the machine current operating state; manual control means (12) for the machine functions; optimization means (19), controlled by the processing unit (7) and designed to modify the display means (11) and the manual control means (12) when there are variations in at least one machine operating parameter detected by the sensor means (9).
Claims17
An exercise machine with an adaptive interface, comprising at least one processing unit (7) designed to manage and control the machine, sensor means (9) for transferring information about the machine operating state to said processing unit (7), at least one user interface (10) equipped with means (11) for displaying the machine current operating state and manual control means (12) for the machine functions, wherein the machine comprises optimization means (19), controlled by the processing unit (7) and designed to modify the display means (11) and the manual control means (12) when there are variations in at least one machine operating parameter detected by the sensor means (9).
A process for optimizing the user interface (10) of an exercise machine, wherein it implements the following steps one after another:
- detecting the speed at which the exercise is performed on the exercise machine;
- reducing the dimensions of the machine operating state display means (11), according to at least one predetermined calculation algorithm, when there is an increase in said speed;
- increasing the dimensions of the primary manual control means (17), according to at least one predetermined calculation algorithm, when there is an increase in said speed.
A process for optimizing the user interface (10) of an exercise machine, wherein it implements the following steps one after another:
- detecting the user's posture on the exercise machine, using sensor means (9);
- modifying the dimensions of the exercise machine operating state display means (11), according to at least one predetermined calculation algorithm, when there is a variation is said posture.
