  • Patent number: 12285654
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to interact with a user of an exercise device during an exercise session. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive data as input, and based on the data, providing an output. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the data from an input peripheral of a computing device associated with the user. Based on the data being received from the input peripheral, the method includes determining, via the machine learning model, the output to control an aspect of the exercise device.

  • Publication number: 20250099816
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to perform a control action. The control action is based on one or more measurements from a wearable device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive the one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the control action to be performed. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from the wearable device being worn by a user, determining whether the one or more measurements indicate, during an interval training session, that one or more characteristics of the user are within a desired target zone, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements indicate the one or more characteristics of the user are not within the desired target zone during the interval training session, performing the control action.

  • Publication number: 20240252889
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.

  • Publication number: 20240252887
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to present a user interface capable of presenting the progress of a user in domains. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a user interface that causes icons to dynamically change position on the user interface. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the exercise device. The method includes presenting, on a computing device associated with the exercise device, sections of the user interface, wherein the sections are each related to a separate domain comprising the domains and wherein, based on the measurements, each section includes the icons placed.

  • Patent number: 11458354
    Abstract: An exercise system includes two or more exercise machines coupled together. Each exercise machine can include a modular exercise machine offering one or more unique exercise functions. To vary or change the exercise system, the exercise machines may decouple from each other and couple to a different exercise machine. Examples of the exercise machines include osteogenic, muscular hypertrophy and cardiovascular devices. These exercise systems enable modifications to the exercise machines for user rehabilitation. The exercise machines can monitor other exercise machines and provide feedback to a user through a computer display.
