Method and system for an exercise apparatus with streaming capability

Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of a method and system of an exercise apparatus are provided where an exercise apparatus provides exercise data pertaining to a user's physical activity to an electronic device wirelessly in real time. The exercise apparatus can have an accelerometer for recording exercise data pertaining to a user's physical activity, and a wireless transceiver for streaming the exercise data to an electronic device in real time. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, smartphone, laptop, tablet, or other similar electronic device. The electronic device can have a software application that can display the exercise data to a user.

 a display for providing a visual indication of the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         3 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a processor for processing information relating to the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         4 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a storage for storing information relating to the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         5 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a battery for powering the exercise apparatus.   
     
     
         6 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the accelerometer comprises a 3d sensor, a 4d sensor or other type of sensor. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is one of a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device. 
     
     
         8 . A method of providing exercise data, comprising:
 recording exercise data pertaining to a user's physical activity on an exercise apparatus; and   streaming the exercise data from the exercise apparatus to an electronic device.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the exercise data is streamed to the electronic device in real time. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 displaying the exercise data on a display of the exercise apparatus for providing a visual indication of the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 storing information relating to the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the exercise data is recorded using an accelerometer. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the accelerometer comprises a 3d sensor, a 4d sensor or other type of sensor. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is one of a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device. 
     
     
         15 . A computer-accessible medium which contains thereon software for providing multimedia, wherein, when a processing arrangement executes the software, the processing arrangement is configured to perform procedures comprising:
 recording exercise data pertaining to a user's physical activity on an exercise apparatus; and   streaming the exercise data from the exercise apparatus to an electronic device.   
     
     
         16 . The computer-accessible medium according to  claim 15 , wherein the exercise data is streamed to the electronic device in real time. 
     
     
         17 . The computer-accessible medium according to  claim 15 , wherein the processing arrangement is further configured to perform procedures comprising:
 displaying the exercise data on a display of the exercise apparatus for providing a visual indication of the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         18 . The computer-accessible medium according to  claim 15 , wherein the processing arrangement is further configured to perform procedures comprising:
 storing information relating to the user's physical activity.   
     
     
         19 . The computer-accessible medium according to  claim 15 , wherein the exercise data is recorded using an accelerometer. 
     
     
         20 . The computer-accessible medium according to  claim 19 , wherein the accelerometer comprises a 3d sensor, a 4d sensor or other type of sensor.
