Definitions
- One approach sometimes utilized by users is to manually write down the exercise parameters in a log booklet once the workout is complete. Such an approach requires the user to locate a writing utensil and the journal each time the user finishes exercising or to find writing space near the exercise device to record the distance and time.
- Other systems track some of the user's exercise parameters using separate equipment. For example, heart rate monitors are available that track the exercise time as well as heart rate for a given period. With such approaches, exercise parameters are often difficult to track as the distance and other exercise parameters must be tracked separately.
- a method for storing and display exercise parameters in an exercise journal includes storing in a user specific exercise journal of the exercise device exercise data representative of one or more exercise parameters for each user, the exercise data corresponding to a range of time periods, displaying the user specific exercise journal within a display associated with the control panel with one or more selected time periods for a selected date range being displayed in a first portion of the display and cumulative exercise data for the selected user and the selected date range or the one or more time periods being displayed on a second portion of the display;

Other periods within the cumulative period may be searched, such as months, weeks, days, or any other time period, as will be discussed in more detail below.
- the interface control 130 is configured to allow the user to navigate the hierarchical organization of the exercise parameters stored on the memory 150 .
- the group of exercise parameters stored on the device may be generally referred to as an exercise journal.
- the ability to view exercise parameters in the journal may allow the user to rapidly access the desired parameters.
- the ability to rapidly access the desired exercise parameters may allow the user to conveniently view the exercise parameters, which in turn may increase the user's satisfaction with the workout experience.
- other visual output such as graphical displays, may be utilized to indicate exercise parameters.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating one example of providing access to exercise parameters in a hierarchal fashion on the display of an exercise device.
- One exemplary method will be briefly introduced in FIG. 2 and will be discussed in more detail with reference to an exemplary user interface, which will be illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 4A-4F .
- the method begins at step S 200 when the system receives input from the user selecting the journal.
- the system may display a default screen, at step S 20 .
- the default screen may vary according to the operational condition of the exercise device. For example, if the exercise device is in use, the default screen may be a display of the current exercise parameters of the device. Similarly, if the exercise device is not in use, the default screen may include instructions for activating the device, graphics, instructions for activating the journal, or any output as desired.
- the control panel displays a profile selection screen.
- the profile selection screen may include a menu that allows a user to select a user profile. Any number of user profiles may be stored on the control panel for selection by the user.
- the system receives the user's selection.

- the system determines which screen to display based on the user's selection.
- the user's selection may include a selection to return to the default screen parameter (END, step S 215 ) or a selection chosen from the menu in the profile selection screen (SELECT, step 215 ), which in this case may include a selection of one of the user profiles displayed on the profile selection screen. If the user selection is to END, the default screen is again displayed as illustrated in step S 20 .
- the system displays a cumulative parameters screen associated with the profile.
- the cumulative parameters screen displays the cumulative exercise parameters for a selected cumulative period, such as a date range covering a desired number of months or years or any other period of time. Any date range may be identified for which a user is able to view cumulative results. Such time periods may include such intervals as years, months, weeks, and/or days.
- selectable time periods within an indicated time period may be displayed on a first display portion of a video output device in the system.
- the indicated time period itself as well as cumulative exercise parameters for the indicated time period may be displayed on a second display portion of the same video output device. Once a selectable time period is selected, the selected time period then becomes the indicated time period displayed on the second display portion while additional selectable time periods, if available, are displayed on the first display portion.
- the indicated time period is a cumulative time period, such as a year. Accordingly, the selectable time periods are months that may be displayed in the first display portion of the video output device while the year and cumulative exercise parameters for the year are displayed on the second display portion of the video display device.
- any number of additional time periods within the date range corresponding to the indicated time period may be identified in which cumulative exercise parameters may be provided.
- cumulative exercise parameters may be provided.
- a hierarchal architecture will be described in which the longest indicated period is described as the cumulative period or a date range.
- the cumulative period is navigated by month, each month is navigated by week, and each week is navigated by day.
- the system may also display a calendar or list of months that are within the cumulative period. The user is able to navigate through the months using the interface controls.
- the system receives the user's selection.
- the system determines which input has been received. In particular, the system may determine whether the input is a command to end the session (END), to select one of the items from the menu (SELECT), or to view the previous screen (BACK). Identifying an END command will cause the system to again display the default screen at step S 20 . Identifying a BACK selection will cause the system to display the user selection profile screen at step S 205 .
- END command to end the session
- SELECT to select one of the items from the menu
- BACK previous screen
- identifying the SELECT input includes identifying the month screen to display.
- the month screen according to one example includes a display of the exercise parameters for the time period in the second display portion.
- the month screen may include a graphical menu, such as a display in which the days of the month are organized into weeks on the display as if viewed on a daily calendar on the first display portion.
- the month screen is displayed until the system receives a selection from the user at step S 240 .
- the system then again identifies what input has been received at S 245 . Identifying the selection may include identifying the END input to cause the system to display the default screen at step S 20 while identifying a BACK input to cause the system to display the cumulative parameters screen at S 220 .
- the system displays a screen corresponding to the selection received with the input.
- a week screen may be identified at step 245 such that at step 250 the system displays a week screen.
- the week screen may include a display of the operational parameters associated with that week.
- the week screen is displayed until at step 255 , the system receives the user's selection.
- the system again identifies the user's input. Identifying END or BACK selections causes the same results discussed above. If the SELECT input is identified, a day screen corresponding with the selected day is displayed, which includes a display of the exercise parameters for the day. At this point, several time periods have been identified at which a user is able to view cumulative results, from such date ranging from years, to months, to weeks, to days.
- any number of additional time periods may be identified in which cumulative exercise parameters may be provided.
- the day screen will be described as the shortest period for which exercise parameters are stored. Accordingly, in one example the system will continue to display the day screen at step S 265 until input is received at step S 270 and identified at step S 275 as an END input to cause the system to display the default screen as step S 20 or as a BACK input to cause the system to display the week screen at step S 255 . Accordingly, the present method allows a user to navigate and view cumulative statistics for a variety of periods on the exercise device.

Abstract
Description
- This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/940,626 filed May 29, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- In an attempt to improve their health and physical conditioning, consumers are purchasing home exercise devices in record quantities. Frequently, such consumers want to track their exercise parameters over time. These parameters may include such values as the time spent exercising on a given day as well as the distance covered. In addition to tracking values on a given date, users often seek to track exercise parameters over a given time period.
- One approach sometimes utilized by users is to manually write down the exercise parameters in a log booklet once the workout is complete. Such an approach requires the user to locate a writing utensil and the journal each time the user finishes exercising or to find writing space near the exercise device to record the distance and time. Other systems track some of the user's exercise parameters using separate equipment. For example, heart rate monitors are available that track the exercise time as well as heart rate for a given period. With such approaches, exercise parameters are often difficult to track as the distance and other exercise parameters must be tracked separately.
- The subject matter claimed herein is not limited to embodiments that solve the foregoing disadvantages or that operate only in environments such as those described above. Rather, the foregoing background is only provided to illustrate one exemplary technology area where some embodiments described herein may be practiced.
- In a system having an exercise device having an exercise mechanism, and a control panel operatively associated with the exercise mechanism and configured to vary one or more exercise parameters of the exercise mechanism, a method for storing and display exercise parameters in an exercise journal includes storing in a user specific exercise journal of the exercise device exercise data representative of one or more exercise parameters for each user, the exercise data corresponding to a range of time periods, displaying the user specific exercise journal within a display associated with the control panel with one or more selected time periods for a selected date range being displayed in a first portion of the display and cumulative exercise data for the selected user and the selected date range or the one or more time periods being displayed on a second portion of the display;
- This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
- A more particular description of the subject matter briefly described below will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting in scope, embodiments will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an exercise device which includes an exercise journal according to one example; -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating one example of providing access to exercise parameters in a hierarchal fashion on the display of an exercise device according to one example; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an exercise device with an exercise journal according to one example; -
FIGS. 4A-4F illustrate an exercise journal displayed on an exercise device according to one example; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates an exercise device with an exercise journal according to one example. - Exercise devices are described herein with an exercise journal function which allows multiple users to track exercise parameters. In one example, the exercise journal tracks exercise parameters on a per workout basis and cumulative exercise parameters over one or more time period. A user is then able to navigate through the time periods to view exercise parameters for a selected period, including cumulative exercise parameters for the selected period.
- The exercise journal function is provided with devices that include one or more motors or other electrically driven actuators used to control one or more exercise parameters of the device. While one example will be described in the context of a motorized treadmill, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to any particular type of exercise device. To the contrary, the present invention can be readily adapted to any motorized device or any other device that utilizes motors, solenoids, or any other electrically driven actuators to control any operating parameter of the device, such as speed, resistance, incline, time, temperature, or other similar exercise parameters.
- The term “device” or “devices” shall refer broadly to any type of apparatus that includes one or more stepper motors, solenoids, or other electrically driven actuators or controllers. Additionally, the term “exercise devices” shall refer broadly to any type of device that takes the form of an exercise machine, including, but not limited to, treadmills, exercise cycles, Nordic style ski exercise devices, rowers, steppers, hikers, climbers, and elliptical or striding exercise devices.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of anexercise device 100 according to one example. Theexercise device 100 includes acontrol panel 105, anexercise mechanism 110, and amechanism controller 115. As will be described in more detail, thecontrol panel 105 is configured to allow a user to store exercise parameters related to the use of theexercise mechanism 110. For ease of reference, parameters associated with the state of the exercise device and parameters associated with a user will be broadly referred to as exercise parameters. - The
control panel 105 is also configured to allow a user to view and interact with the parameters, such as to navigate parameters for a cumulative period and/or one or more selected time periods within the cumulative period. Although shown separated, it may be appreciated that portions of each may be combined together. - The
control panel 105 according to the present example includes aprocessor 120. Theprocessor 120 coordinates the interaction between a user and theexercise device 100. In particular, theprocessor 120 receives input from one or more inputs, such asmechanism input 125 andinterface control 130. Themechanism input 125 may relate to such controls as manual override, scaling control, and other controls and conditions related to the operation of theexercise mechanism 110 known to one skilled in the art. - In addition, each controller, button, and the like may take the form of one or more switches, rheostats, potentiometers, touch-sensitive controls, voice-activated controllers, and the like. The input devices described herein are examples of structures capable of performing the function of interface means for gathering a first signal (such as a real-time signal) from the user. One skilled in the art may identify various other configurations of interface means that are capable of performing the desired function.
- The
interface control 130 allows the user to interact with other parts of thecontrol panel 105, including a journal module. For example, theinterface control 130 may include buttons or the like as previously described. - Generally,
processor 120 may have various configurations to perform the above-described function as known by one skilled in the art. For example,processor 120 may take the form of one or more micro-controllers, central processing unit (CPU), state machines, programmable logic arrays, a network of logical gates, ASIC processor, software-based controllers, a combination of these components, or a variety of other controllers. The operation of theexercise device 100, including control of theexercise mechanism 110, will first be discussed, followed by a general discussion of the journal module and its functionality. - As introduced, the
control panel 105 andmechanism input 125 provide one way for a user to control the operation of theexercise device 105 and to control the operation of theexercise mechanism 110 in particular. For example, theprocessor 120 may provide instructions to themechanism controller 115. The instructions may be received from a user, may be stored on the device, and/or received from an outside source. Generally,mechanism controller 115 may communicate withcontrol panel 105 by an I2C bus, a SPI bus, a microwire bus, a microbus, and the like. - The
mechanism controller 115 may include a mechanism processor 132. The mechanism processor 132 may include various components and modules to control the operation of any desired characteristics ofexercise mechanism 110. Mechanism processor 132 may include any combination of the components similar to those described above with reference toprocessor 120. - The
mechanism controller 115 receives instructions from theprocessor 120 to control the operation of the exercise mechanism. The mechanism processor 132 processes the results and sends control signals to theexercise mechanism 110 to thereby control the operation of theexercise mechanism 110. - The
exercise device 100, as depicted, optionally includes one or more sensor, collectively referred to assensors 134. Thesensors 134 gather exercise parameters ofexercise device 100, such thatcontrol panel 105 may present outputs via the output devices that are indicative of the present operating state of theexercise device 100 at any given point in time. Theexercise device 100 may include other sensors that gather various other exercise parameters associated with a user, such as, but not limited to, maximum pulse and heart rate, average pulse and heart rate, target heart rate, length of workout session, and the like. - Both the
processor 120 and the mechanism processor 132 may be capable of receiving and transmitting feedback signals from thesensors 134. Eachprocessor 120, 132 may be capable of converting the feedback signals for use by output devices, such asvideo output device 135 andaudio output device 140. Theprocessor 120 and/or mechanism processor 132 in turn may communicate the exercise parameters to an audio/video controller 145. - The audio/
video controller 145 converts the signals received from theprocessor 120 into signals thevideo output device 135 and/or theaudio device 140 convert into display and audio output, respectively. Accordingly,control panel 105 is able to provide the user with the exercise parameters of theexercise mechanism 110 in the form of visual and/or audio output. - The audio/
video controller 145, may include one or more amplifiers, micro-controllers, central processing units, state machines, programmable logic arrays, network local logical arrays, gates, ASIC processors, software based controllers, combination logic, or combinations thereof to both manipulate audio and video signals that are to be transmitted to theoutput devices - Additionally, audio/
video controller 145 may include memory, such as a buffer, to store and aid with real-time transmission and delivery of the audio and video signals. It may be appreciated by one skilled in the art that various audio/video controllers 145 are applicable and known in the art in light of the teaching contained herein. - The
processor 120 and/or the mechanism processor 132 may be coupled tomemory 150. Thememory 150 is configured to store the exercise parameters received from the processors, 120, 132. The operational parameters may include such variables as the data and/or time of the workout, the duration of the workout, the workout, the average speed of the workout, and any parameters associated with the workout. - In particular, the
exercise device 100 is configured to store exercise parameters in apersonal exercise journal 155. The exercise parameters may be organized hierarchically according to time periods within a range of dates. The hierarchal organization of the exercise parameters may be accomplished within thememory 150 or may performed by the processor 132 in accessing the exercise parameters or may be accomplished by some combination of the two. - In either case, a hierarchal organization may be utilized which allows a user to see a top level of exercise parameters, which may include cumulative exercise parameters over a selected time period, such as for the last calendar year, for the present calendar year, for the life of the treadmill, or some other cumulative duration. Other periods within the cumulative period may be searched, such as months, weeks, days, or any other time period, as will be discussed in more detail below.
- The
interface control 130 is configured to allow the user to navigate the hierarchical organization of the exercise parameters stored on thememory 150. The group of exercise parameters stored on the device may be generally referred to as an exercise journal. The ability to view exercise parameters in the journal may allow the user to rapidly access the desired parameters. The ability to rapidly access the desired exercise parameters may allow the user to conveniently view the exercise parameters, which in turn may increase the user's satisfaction with the workout experience. In addition to numeric or textual output, other visual output, such as graphical displays, may be utilized to indicate exercise parameters. -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating one example of providing access to exercise parameters in a hierarchal fashion on the display of an exercise device. One exemplary method will be briefly introduced inFIG. 2 and will be discussed in more detail with reference to an exemplary user interface, which will be illustrated inFIG. 3 andFIGS. 4A-4F . The method begins at step S200 when the system receives input from the user selecting the journal. - In one example, prior to receiving the journal selection input, the system may display a default screen, at step S20. The default screen may vary according to the operational condition of the exercise device. For example, if the exercise device is in use, the default screen may be a display of the current exercise parameters of the device. Similarly, if the exercise device is not in use, the default screen may include instructions for activating the device, graphics, instructions for activating the journal, or any output as desired.
- Once the system has received an input to open the journal, at step S205, the control panel displays a profile selection screen. The profile selection screen may include a menu that allows a user to select a user profile. Any number of user profiles may be stored on the control panel for selection by the user. At step S210 the system receives the user's selection.
- In one example, the user is able to navigate the user profile menu using the interface controls to indicate a selection. At step S215, the system then determines which screen to display based on the user's selection. The user's selection may include a selection to return to the default screen parameter (END, step S215) or a selection chosen from the menu in the profile selection screen (SELECT, step 215), which in this case may include a selection of one of the user profiles displayed on the profile selection screen. If the user selection is to END, the default screen is again displayed as illustrated in step S20.
- If the user has selected a profile, at step S220 the system displays a cumulative parameters screen associated with the profile. According to one example, the cumulative parameters screen displays the cumulative exercise parameters for a selected cumulative period, such as a date range covering a desired number of months or years or any other period of time. Any date range may be identified for which a user is able to view cumulative results. Such time periods may include such intervals as years, months, weeks, and/or days.
- In general, selectable time periods within an indicated time period may be displayed on a first display portion of a video output device in the system. Similarly, the indicated time period itself as well as cumulative exercise parameters for the indicated time period may be displayed on a second display portion of the same video output device. Once a selectable time period is selected, the selected time period then becomes the indicated time period displayed on the second display portion while additional selectable time periods, if available, are displayed on the first display portion.
- In step S220, the indicated time period is a cumulative time period, such as a year. Accordingly, the selectable time periods are months that may be displayed in the first display portion of the video output device while the year and cumulative exercise parameters for the year are displayed on the second display portion of the video display device.
- Any number of additional time periods within the date range corresponding to the indicated time period may be identified in which cumulative exercise parameters may be provided. For ease of reference, a hierarchal architecture will be described in which the longest indicated period is described as the cumulative period or a date range. The cumulative period is navigated by month, each month is navigated by week, and each week is navigated by day. Accordingly, in addition to displaying the cumulative exercise parameters for the cumulative period, at step S220 the system may also display a calendar or list of months that are within the cumulative period. The user is able to navigate through the months using the interface controls.
- At step S225, the system receives the user's selection. At step S230, the system determines which input has been received. In particular, the system may determine whether the input is a command to end the session (END), to select one of the items from the menu (SELECT), or to view the previous screen (BACK). Identifying an END command will cause the system to again display the default screen at step S20. Identifying a BACK selection will cause the system to display the user selection profile screen at step S205.
- If a SELECT input is identified, at step S235 the system displays the screen associated with the user selection. In one example, identifying the SELECT input includes identifying the month screen to display. The month screen according to one example includes a display of the exercise parameters for the time period in the second display portion. The month screen may include a graphical menu, such as a display in which the days of the month are organized into weeks on the display as if viewed on a daily calendar on the first display portion. The month screen is displayed until the system receives a selection from the user at step S240. The system then again identifies what input has been received at S245. Identifying the selection may include identifying the END input to cause the system to display the default screen at step S20 while identifying a BACK input to cause the system to display the cumulative parameters screen at S220.
- If the system identifies a SELECT input, at step 250 the system displays a screen corresponding to the selection received with the input. In one example, a week screen may be identified at step 245 such that at step 250 the system displays a week screen. The week screen may include a display of the operational parameters associated with that week.
- The week screen is displayed until at
step 255, the system receives the user's selection. Atstep 260 the system again identifies the user's input. Identifying END or BACK selections causes the same results discussed above. If the SELECT input is identified, a day screen corresponding with the selected day is displayed, which includes a display of the exercise parameters for the day. At this point, several time periods have been identified at which a user is able to view cumulative results, from such date ranging from years, to months, to weeks, to days. - Any number of additional time periods may be identified in which cumulative exercise parameters may be provided. For ease of illustration, the day screen will be described as the shortest period for which exercise parameters are stored. Accordingly, in one example the system will continue to display the day screen at step S265 until input is received at step S270 and identified at step S275 as an END input to cause the system to display the default screen as step S20 or as a BACK input to cause the system to display the week screen at step S255. Accordingly, the present method allows a user to navigate and view cumulative statistics for a variety of periods on the exercise device. One example of a treadmill will now be discussed followed by a discussion of the interaction between the treadmill and the control panel.

Themechanism inputs 125′ according to the illustrated example also include a row of indexedspeed selection keys 430 and indexedincline keys 435. - In order to operate the treadmill 312 (
FIG. 3 ), a user initially inserts the dead-man key 407 into a corresponding slot in thecontrol panel 105′. Upon insertion of the dead-man key 407, thetreadmill 312 is capable of being operated, i.e., power is allowed to flow to the various internal and external components of thetreadmill 312, and thetreadmill 312 has an active status. While the treadmill has an active status, the user may use themechanism inputs 125′ to vary the exercise parameters of thetreadmill 312 as desired. As illustrated inFIG. 4A , when thetreadmill 312 is active, thevideo display device 135′ may provide a default display, which may include the current exercise parameters associated with the user and/or the device or any other selected default display. - The user is also able to interact with the interface controls 130′ to activate a journal module. The interface controls 130′ may include a
journal selection button 440, anavigation pad 445, aback button 450, and other buttons or controls as desired. In the present example, the user activates the journal module by pressing thejournal selection button 440. Once the user has pressed thejournal selection button 440, thevideo output device 135′ displays a profile selection screen. - The profile selection screen illustrated in
FIG. 4B includes one or more profile. The user is able to navigate the profile selection screen using anavigation pad 445. Thenavigation pad 445 according to the present examples may include arrows indicating a navigation direction and a center selection portion. The process used for navigating the journal may be similar to that described above with reference toFIG. 2 . Accordingly, once a user has selected a user profile, thevideo output device 135′ displays a cumulative screen for the selected user, as illustrated inFIG. 4C . - As illustrated in
FIG. 4C , the cumulative screen for the selected user may includes selectable time periods corresponding for an indicated time period on thefirst display portion 455 of thevideo output device 135′ and cumulative exercise parameters for the time period as well as the indicated time period itself on asecond display portion 460. The screen illustrated inFIG. 4C may correspond to an indicated time period which covers several months, such as a year. Accordingly, the cumulative exercise parameters are displayed on thesecond display portion 460 of thevideo output device 135′ and a list of months are displayed on thefirst display portion 455 of thevideo output device 135′. The cumulative exercise parameters illustrated inFIG. 4C include the total time the user exercised during the cumulative period, the total distance traversed, as well as the total number of calories burned during the cumulative period indicated. - These examples illustrate only a few of the exercise parameters that may be displayed. Other exercise parameters may be selected for display as desired. For example, such parameters may include heart rate data for a user during a specified time period. Accordingly, the
control panel 105′ may include heart rate sensors such as manualheart rate sensors 465. The sensors 134 (FIG. 1 ) may also include a wireless heart rate sensor configured to receive heart rate data from a wireless strap worn by the user. In either case, thecontrol panel 105′ may be configured to monitor, display, and/or store heart rate data. - Returning to the display illustrated in
FIGS. 4A-4F , selecting theback button 450 causes thevideo output device 135′ to output the previous screen, such as the screen illustrated inFIG. 4B . Pressing the journalselect button 440 may end the journal session and cause thevideo output device 135′ to display the default screen. Consequently, selecting thejournal selection button 440 may allow the user to toggle the output of thevideo output device 135′ between the journal module and current exercise parameters. The interface controls 130′ may also include aworkout selection key 447. Theworkout selection key 447 may further allow a user to cause thevideo output device 130′ to display workouts, which may be stored in memory 150 (FIG. 1 ). - If the user selects one of the selectable time periods displayed in the
first display portion 455, in this case months, thevideo output device 135′ displays a month screen, as illustrated inFIG. 4D . The month screen provides a cumulative display for the selected month in thesecond display portion 460 and additional time periods within the month. For example, the selected month becomes the indicated time period and is displayed in thesecond display portion 460. Additional, the month screen may provide a display of the days of the month arranged by weeks to represent a calendar displayed on thefirst display portion 455. The weeks and days then become selectable time periods. - The days for which exercise parameters have been stored have a display treatment applied thereto. The application of a display treatment to days with exercise parameters may allow a user to rapidly determine for which days the system does or does not have data stored. The display treatment applied in
FIG. 4D may include highlighting days for which exercise parameters are stored. Accordingly, as illustrated inFIGS. 4C-4D , selecting a selected time period from the available time periods displayed onfirst display portion 455 causes thefirst display portion 455 to display additional time periods, if any, which are available within the selected time period. Thus, the display in thesecond display portion 460 changes with thefirst display portion 455 to include a display of cumulative exercise parameters for the selected and displayed time period. - The user may use the
navigation pad 445 to navigate the calendar displayed infirst display portion 455 to select a week that has exercise parameters. The user may then select a week, also using the navigation pad. If the user selects a week, thevideo output device 135′ displays a week screen as illustrated inFIG. 4E . - The week screen illustrated on the
video output device 135′ inFIG. 4E includes a cumulative total of the exercise parameters for that week on thesecond display portion 460. In the example illustrated inFIG. 4E , thevideo output device 135′ also displays the days for which exercise parameters are available in thefirst display portion 455. In the illustrated example, a single day, the May 6, has exercise parameters associated therewith, and as such is the only day illustrated in thefirst display portion 455. - In another example, the week screen may display all of the days in the week and apply a display treatment to selected days to differentiate between days for which exercise parameters are stored from days for which exercise parameters are not stored. Accordingly, the
control panel 105′ includes a journal module running thereon which allows a user to view and navigate various time periods while viewing the cumulative exercise parameters associated with the time periods. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4F , selecting the date within the week screen (FIG. 4E ) causes the video output device to display the selected time period, in this case a day, in thesecond display portion 460 as well as cumulative exercise parameters for the selected time period. In the present example, no additional time periods are available within the day. Additional exercise parameters are illustrated for the day in thefirst display portion 455. -
FIG. 5 illustrates anelliptical exercise device 500 that includes acontrol panel 105″ that includes personal exercise journal functionality. According to one example, thecontrol panel 105″ allows a user to interact with an exercise journal module, as described above. - Embodiments herein may comprise a special purpose or general-purpose computer including various computer hardware, as discussed in greater detail below. Embodiments may also include computer-readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon.
