  • Patent number: 9821212
    Abstract: A method for controlling an exercise apparatus via a control interface of an exercise apparatus, including steps of controlling a touch screen to display an information field, and then monitoring the touch screen to detect whether a touch has occurred on the surface of the touch screen and whether the touch is located in an input zone which has a plurality of sensing areas in the information field. A user can use specific actions to operate the exercise apparatus from one condition of using a first speed value to another condition of using a second speed value.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150182845
    Abstract: A method for building an exercise program for an exercise apparatus, wherein the exercise apparatus controls a mechanical operation of the exercise apparatus thereof according to the exercise program; the exercise program comprises at least one segmented exercise profile; a difficulty level parameter and a time parameter are set in the segmented exercise profile. The method includes displaying a route diagram with a displaying unit and inputting a command into the exercise apparatus with an input unit.

  • Patent number: 8840526
    Abstract: A method for controlling an exercise apparatus via a control interface of an exercise apparatus, including steps of controlling a touch screen to display an information field, and then monitoring the touch screen to detect whether a touch has occurred on the surface of the touch screen and whether the touch is located in an input zone which has a plurality of sensing areas in the information field. A user can use one of specific actions to move a first tag in the input zone from a first sensing area to a second sensing area. And one of the steps of the method relocates the first tag proximate to the second sensing area to have a portion of the first tag to point at the second sensing area. Then, the final step of the method operates the exercise apparatus from a first condition using a first value corresponding to the first sensing area to a second condition using a second value corresponding to the second sensing area.
