Third-party media exercise control systems and methods

Abstract

A third-party media exercise control system may receive third-party media, the third-party media unrelated to the exercise program. A third-party media exercise control system may while streaming and displaying the third-party media on a display of an exercise device, generating exercise controls for the third-party media, the exercise controls based on content in the third-party media. A third-party media exercise control system may adjust at least one operating parameter of the exercise device based on the exercise controls.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for implementing an exercise program, comprising:
 receiving third-party media, the third-party media unrelated to the exercise program;   generating, while streaming and displaying the third-party media on a display of an exercise device, exercise controls for the third-party media, the exercise controls based at least in part on content in the third-party media; and   adjusting at least one operating parameter of the exercise device based at least in part on the exercise controls.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the third-party media comprises a TV series. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the third-party media comprises a movie. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the third-party media does not include exercise controls. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content comprises a soundtrack of the third-party media. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the exercise controls are based at least in part on a tempo of the soundtrack. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the exercise controls increase an intensity of the exercise program when the tempo is fast. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the exercise controls decrease an intensity of the exercise program when the tempo is slow. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the exercise controls are based at least in part on lyrics of the soundtrack. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content comprises dialog of the third-party media. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content comprises video of the third-party media. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content comprises a genre of the third-party media. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein generating the exercise controls comprises:
 modifying the third-party media to include the exercise controls.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein generating the exercise controls comprises:
 generating an exercise control file to control the at least one operating parameter of the exercise device.   
     
     
         15 . A method for implementing an exercise program, comprising:
 receiving third-party media, the third-party media unrelated to the exercise program;   applying, while receiving the third-party media and displaying the third-party media on a display of an exercise device, a media exercise control model to the third-party media, the media exercise control model trained to associate content of the third-party media with operating parameters of the exercise device;   generating, based at least in part on the exercise control model, exercise controls for the exercise program, the exercise controls associated with the content of the third-party media; and   implementing the exercise program on the exercise device synchronized with the third-party media.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein receiving the third-party media comprises:
 receiving the third-party media via streaming over an internet interface.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein applying the media exercise control model comprises:
 applying the media exercise control model in real-time.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the third-party media comprises a TV series. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the third-party media comprises a movie. 
     
     
         20 . An exercise system, comprising:
 an exercise device including a display and operating parameters changeable by an exercise program;   one or more memories comprising instructions; and   one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and configured to execute the instructions to cause the exercise system to:
 receive third-party media, the third-party media unrelated to the exercise program; 
 generate, while streaming and displaying the third-party media on a display of an exercise device, exercise controls for the third-party media, the exercise controls based at least in part on content in the third-party media; and 
 adjust at least one operating parameter of the exercise device based at least in part on the exercise controls.
