Abstract
The invention relates to a method of performing operating settings in a heart rate measurement arrangement, and a heart rate measurement arrangement. Audio frequency information is transmitted to the heart rate measurement arrangement by wireless transmission. The audio frequency information contains setting value information intended to be used in the operation of the heart rate measurement arrangement. In the heart rate measurement arrangement, decoding is performed to decode the received audio frequency information so that the setting value information can be used to control the operation thereof.
Claims25
A method of providing operational settings to a heart rate measurement arrangement, said heart rate measurement arrangement including a receiver element comprising a piezo element capable of receiving or generating an audible sound signal, comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting an audible sound signal including audio frequency information containing setting value information from a terminal to said receiver element, said setting value information being usable in the operation of said heart rate measurement arrangement;
- decoding said audio frequency information in said heart rate measurement arrangement;
- and
- storing said setting value information for use during operation of said heart rate measurement arrangement.
A heart rate measurement arrangement comprising:
- a sensor structure for measuring a heart rate signal from the body of a person;
- a signal-processing means for processing a signal received from the sensor structure;
- a calculation unit connected to the signal-processing means;
- means connected to the calculation unit for showing and/or storing heart rate information;
- an audio frequency receiver comprising a piezo element for generating an audible sound signal and for wirelessly receiving an audible sound signal including audio frequency information containing setting value information from a terminal;
- and
- a decoder in connection with the audio frequency receiver for decoding the received audio frequency information containing said setting value information.
A method of providing operational settings to a heart rate measurement arrangement, said heart rate measurement arrangement including a receiver element comprising a piezo element capable of receiving or generating an audible sound signal, comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting an audible sound signal including audio frequency information containing setting value information from a terminal to said receiver element, wherein said receiver element is a piezo element, said setting value information being usable in the operation of said heart rate measurement arrangement such that said piezo element produces an audible sound signal as soon as a heart rate limit is achieved during exercise;
- decoding said audio frequency information in said heart rate measurement arrangement;
- and
- storing said setting value information for use during operation of said heart rate measurement arrangement.
A heart rate measurement arrangement comprising:
- a sensor structure for measuring a heart rate signal from the body of a person;
- a signal processor for processing a signal received from the sensor structure;
- a calculation unit connected to the signal processor;
- means connected to the calculation unit for showing and/or storing heart rate information;
- an audio frequency receiver comprising a piezo element for generating an audible sound signal and for wirelessly receiving an audible sound signal containing audio frequency information containing setting value information from a terminal;
- a decoder in connection with the audio frequency receiver for decoding the received audio frequency information containing said setting value information;
- and
- an element for producing an audible sound signal as soon as a heart rate limit is achieved during exercise.
