A smart console includes a Fitness Machine Smart Console Emulator to form a smart device which includes a control module for controlling an operation of an exercise machine, a command system operatively linked to the control module for receiving exercise related information from the exercise machine and data, and a fitness analysis module operatively linked to the control module for collecting exercise related information of the exercise machine and generating an exercise result based on the exercise related information. Therefore, the smart device simplifies the configuration of the exercise machine to remotely located device to communicate with the exercise machine.

All-in-one smart console for exercise machine

An all-in-one smart console, which is a self-contained unit, includes a control module for controlling an operation of the exercise machine, a command system operatively linked to the control module for receiving exercise related information from the exercise machine and data from the portable wireless communication device, and a fitness analysis module operatively linked to the control module for collecting exercise related information of the exercise machine and generating an exercise result based on the exercise related information.

A pulse controlled exercise system is disclosed which incorporates an exercise device, a monitor capable of displaying images formed from television signals, a pulse rate sensor for sensing the pulse rate of a user of the pulse controlled exercise system, and a controller. The controller is coupled to the pulse rate sensor, to the exercise device, and to the monitor. The controller is used to control the exercise device's speed and other states and to cause the pulse rate of the user to be displayed on the monitor as the user progresses through his or her exercise regimen. Moreover, disclosed is an exercise device which has circuitry to generate a television type signal which may be displayed on a monitor which is capable of displaying images formed from such television type signals. Finally, a method is disclosed which incorporates the steps of detecting a exerciser's pulse rate, determining whether the exerciser's pulse rate is within a target heart rate range, controlling an exercise device in accordance with the exerciser's pulse rate, and displaying the exerciser's pulse rate on a monitor of the type described in this patent document.
