Abstract
A bicycle shifting control apparatus comprises a transmission controller and a speed changing part. The transmission controller is configured to control a bicycle transmission with an operating speed. The speed changing part is configured to change the operating speed of the bicycle transmission based on input information.
Claims19
A bicycle shifting control apparatus comprising:
- a transmission controller configured to control a bicycle transmission with an operating speed;
- and
- a speed changing part configured to change the operating speed of the bicycle transmission based on input information, the operating speed comprising a speed with which an actuator of the bicycle transmission moves a guide member of the bicycle transmission.
A bicycle shifting control apparatus comprising:
- a transmission controller configured to control a bicycle transmission with an operating speed and a response speed;
- a sensing device configured to sense a pedaling state of a bicycle;
- and
- a speed changing part configured to change one of the operating speed and the response speed based on the pedaling state sensed by the sensing device, the operating speed comprising a speed with which an actuator of the bicycle transmission moves a guide member of the bicycle transmission, the response speed comprising a determination interval of the transmission controller.

- a sensing device configured to sense a pedaling state of a bicycle;
- and
- a speed changing part configured to change one of the operating speed and the response speed based on the pedaling state sensed by the sensing device,
- the transmission controller being configured to control the bicycle transmission to continuously change a current gear position among a plurality of gear positions based on a shifting signal which has a signal duration and which is output from a shifter,
- the response speed of the bicycle transmission comprising a determination interval, and
- the transmission controller including
- a determination part configured to determine at the determination interval whether the shifting signal is continuous, and
- a command generator configured to output a shifting command to the bicycle transmission at the determination interval if the determination part determines at the determination interval that the shifting signal is continuous.
