Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method of managing data, remotely generated, by, for example, resistance-based fitness devices, in which variable RPM measurement from a flywheel or similar mechanism is replaced with standardized digitally generated RPM measurement. The resulting data packet can be stored with other packets from the same event as a record. Stored records may be accurately compared with other such records from the same or other users for a variety of purposes. A computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method is also provided.
Claims6
A method of managing remotely generated data, the data comprising at least one modular measurement of force, distance, and time (FDT) created by discrete physical effort, and at least one RPM measurement of a flywheel or similar mechanism storing rotational energy, the at least one RPM measurement associated directly with at least one of the modular measurements and split between progressively increasing RPMs and progressively decreasing RPMs, the method comprising;
- replacing each of the remotely generated RPM measurements with a digitally generated RPM measurement configured according to the at least one remotely generated FDT modular measurement with which the replaced remotely generated RPM measurement is associated, wherein the digitally generated RPM measurement is based on a specific algorithm applying characteristics of an actual physical flywheel and comprises a set of progressively increasing RPMs and progressively decreasing RPMs, and wherein every digitally generated RPM measurement is affected by the same applied physical conditions;
- and
- storing the newly created packet comprising the at least one FDT modular measurement and the corresponding at least one digitally generated RPM measurement, wherein multiple packets from a single event can be stored together to collectively constitute a record of cumulative physical effort expended in the event.
A computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause it to perform a method of managing remotely generated data, the data comprising at least one modular measurement of force, distance, and time (FDT) created by discrete physical effort, and at least one RPM measurement of a flywheel or similar mechanism storing rotational energy, the at least one RPM measurement associated directly with at least one of the modular measurements and split between progressively increasing RPMs and progressively decreasing RPMs, the method comprising;
- replacing each of the remotely generated RPM measurements with a digitally generated RPM measurement configured according to the at least one remotely generated FDT modular measurement with which the replaced remotely generated RPM measurement is associated, wherein the digitally generated RPM measurement is based on a specific algorithm applying characteristics of an actual physical flywheel and comprises a set of progressively increasing RPMs and progressively decreasing RPMs, and wherein every digitally generated RPM measurement is affected by the same applied physical conditions;
- and
- storing the newly created packet comprising the at least one FDT modular measurement and the corresponding at least one digitally generated RPM measurement, wherein multiple packets from a single event can be stored together to collectively constitute a record of cumulative physical effort expended in the event.
