  • Publication number: 20240001201
    Abstract: A method for managing the use of an exercise machine by multiple users for performing physical exercises involves obtaining, following an authentication procedure by a first user, a code identifying the first user and information representative of the first user; storing the obtained code identifying the first user and information representative of the first user; obtaining, following an authentication procedure performed by at least one second user, a code identifying the at least one second user and information representative of the second user; storing the obtained code identifying the at least one second user and information representative of the at least one second user; and setting the exercise machine, following a selection of either the first user or the at least one second user for performing the respective physical exercise, based on either the code identifying the first user or the code identifying the at least one second user.

  • Patent number: 11491386
    Abstract: An exercise machine (100) used to perform physical activity includes at least one control device (1) which can be actuated by the user to impart a command to the exercise machine (100). The exercise machine (100) includes at least one lighting device (2), the at least one lighting device (2) being positioned on the exercise machine (100) so as to identify the at least one control device (1) with which the exercise machine (100) is provided when the at least one lighting device (2) is lit.

  • Patent number: 11273358
    Abstract: A method transmits audio signals to exercise machines of a training class including providing a control unit accessible to a trainer user managing a training class. Exercise machines operatively connect to the control unit by a data communication network. The exercise machines include a first group of exercise machines used in the training class. The control unit and each exercise machine of the first group establish a data communication channel for transmitting audio signals between the control unit and the first group of exercise machines. The control unit receives a first audio signal representative of a voice control by the trainer user and a second audio signal representative of a piece of music selected by the trainer user. The control unit sends the encoded first and second audio signals to all exercise machines of the first group of exercise machines by the communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20190118038
    Abstract: A method manages training of users on exercise machines provides a control unit of a user training class on exercise machines. The control unit is accessible by a trainer user managing the training class. Exercise machines are operatively connected to the control unit by a data communication network. The control unit loads a training program to be performed for the class users chosen by the trainer user in a respective memory module of the control unit. The control unit sends a training start command to the exercise machines by the data communication network. The training starts following receipt of the training start command. An operation control instruction of each exercise machine is sent to the exercise machines by the control unit and data communication network. Operation of each exercise machine is controlled based on the operation control instruction of each exercise machine received from the control unit.

  • Patent number: 8882638
    Abstract: An exercise machine equipped with a device designed to be driven to move by the user during a workout, by applying a muscular force against a resistant load and which includes: a detector for detecting the muscular power applied by the user to the device; a display; a computer connected to the display and having access to a memory containing a plurality of values, representative of the power nominally absorbed by a plurality of corresponding electric household appliances, and digital data for graphically representing the plurality of electric household appliances, the computer being programmed for: comparing the power detected by the detector and at least one of the power values contained in the memory; and for generating on the display, depending on the comparison, a graphical output of the comparison, including a graphical representation of at least one of the electric household appliances, generated based on the digital data.

  • Publication number: 20120264569
    Abstract: An exercise machine of the treadmill type comprises a motor (5) connected to a belt (3) and able to be activated for driving the belt, an actuator (6) associated with the belt (3) for angling it, an interface (7) designed to allow the user (100) to set a basic pair of values relating to predetermined operating parameters and corresponding to a machine operating configuration. The machine also comprises a processor (8) programmed to derive a user (100) oxygen consumption value depending on the basic pair of values and for calculating, the oxygen consumption value being equal, at least one alternative pair of values which involves lower energy consumption by the motor (5) compared with the basic pair.
