A monitor-exercise equipment apparatus for measuring a biomedical response such as heartbeat rate, and for using the measured response to control exercise equipment. The monitor includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit located in the exercise equipment. An encoded digital signal represents the heart rate and has a first identification part identifying the transmitting unit and a second data part representing the person's heart rate. This signal is wirelessly sent to the receiving unit which determines if it is from the transmitting unit. Only if that is so is the data part read. If there are too many errors in the data part, a new frequency of wireless transmission is used. If the errors are within a reasonable bound, the data part is sent to a memory and/or display. The receiving unit provides a signal to a parameter control means in the exercise equipment which automatically regulates the resistance offered to the user in accordance with the measured heart rate of the user to provide a proper workout.

A monitor-exercise equipment apparatus for measuring a biomedical response such as heartbeat rate, and for using the measured response to control the exercise equipment, where the monitor includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit located in the exercise equipment. The monitor detects a biomedical condition such as heartbeats and produces a pulse train representing this response. The pulse train is then encoded to produce an encoded signal having a first identification part identifying the transmitting unit and a second data part representing the person's biomedical response. This encoded signal is wirelessly sent to the receiving unit which reads the received signal to determine if it is from the transmitting unit. If it is from that transmitting unit, the data part is read. If the received signal is not from the correct transmitting unit, it is rejected.

A monitor-exercise equipment apparatus for measuring a biomedical response such as heartbeat rate, and for using the measured response to control the exercise equipment, where the monitor includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit located in the exercise equipment. The monitor detects a biomedical response (heart rate) and produces a digital pulse train representing this response. The digital pulse train is then encoded to produce an encoded digital signal having a first identification part identifying the transmitting unit and a second data part representing the person's biomedical response. This encoded digital signal is wirelessly sent to the receiving unit which reads the received signal to determine if it is from the transmitting unit. If it is from that transmitting unit, the data part is read. If there are too many errors in the data part, a new frequency of wireless transmission is used in the monitor. If the errors are within a reasonable bound, the data bits representing the biomedical response are sent to a memory and/or a display. If the received signal were not from the correct transmitting unit, the received signal is rejected. Interference from other monitors or electrical equipment is minimized, and the data displayed is very accurate. The receiving unit provides a signal to a parameter control means in the exercise equipment. The parameter control means automatically regulates the resistance offered to the user in accordance with the measured heart rate of the user to provide a proper workout. Memory is included for providing exercise profiles unique to the user. An identification unit allows each user to identify himself/herself to the equipment to access the proper stored exercise profile for that person.

A monitor for measuring and displaying a biomedical response such as heartbeat rate, including a transmitting unit and a receiving unit. The monitor detects the response (heartbeat) and produces a digital pulse train representing this response. The digital pulse train is then encoded to produce an encoded digital signal having a first identification part identifying the transmitting unit and a second data part representing the person's response. This encoded digital signal is wirelessly sent to the receiving unit which reads the received signal to determine if it is from the transmitting unit. If it is from that transmitting unit, the data part is read. If there are too many errors in the data part, a new frequency of wireless transmission is used in the monitor. If the errors are within a reasonable bound, the data bits representing the biomedical response are sent to a memory and/or a display. If the received signal were not from the correct transmitting unit, the received signal is rejected.

600509

A personal monitor for monitoring a biomedical condition, such as a heart rate. A sensor provides a signal related to the biomedical condition and the signal is encoded for repeated wireless transmission to a receiver. An encoded identification signal is also repeatedly sent to the receiver to identify the transmitter to the receiver in order to prevent the adverse effects of interference which occurs if signals other than those from the transmitter are received. The monitor detects deviations (errors) from an expected pattern and recovers from these deviations (error correction) to display an accurate value of the biomedical condition. If too many errors are present due to interference, faulty transmission and/or reception, etc. , the frequency over which wireless transmission occurs can be changed. In one embodiment, the value of the biomedical condition is wirelessly sent to the receiver.

A heartbeat rate monitor that uses a sensor to detect a person's heartbeats and circuitry for providing pulses indicative of these heartbeats. A transmitter wirelessly transmits these pulses, along with an identification (ID) signal, to a receiver. The ID signal identifies the transmitter and can be pulses providing a code. In the receiver, a circuit uses the ID signal to determine if the received pulses are from the transmitter. If they are from the transmitter, the pulses representing heartbeats are used to calculate hearbeat rate. Any received signal from a source other than the transmitter is rejected in the receiver. If there is transmission interference, the monitor can calculate an approximate heartbeat rate. The frequency over which wireless transmission occurs can be changed by the person, or automatically by the monitor.

A monitor for measuring a biomedical response such as heartbeat rate, and an apparatus for using the monitor to control exercise equipment. The monitor includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit which can be located in the exercise equipment. The heart rate is determined and a first signal that can be used to determine heart rate (or is related to heart rate) is produced. An encoded digital signal identifying the transmitting unit is also produced. These signals are wirelessly sent to the receiving unit which determines if the signals are from the transmitting unit. Only if that is so is the first signal used to determine heart rate. If there are too many errors in the measured heart rate a new frequency of wireless transmission is used. If the errors are within a reasonable bound, the heart rate is sent to a memory and/or display. The receiving unit provides a signal to a parameter control means in the exercise equipment which automatically regulates the resistance offered to the user in accordance with the measured heart rate of the user, to provide a proper workout.
