Device for displaying the exercise information of a sports apparatus on a monitor

Abstract

A device for displaying the exercise information of a sports apparatus includes a RS-232 transmission line connected with a micro-processor unit (MPU) that is connected with a monitor menu controller, which is provided for modulating the brightness, the contrast ratio and the vertical and horizontal location displayed on a monitor. The MPU transmits the RS-232 instruction between a sports apparatus and the monitor menu controller and also transmits signals to a microprocessor in the interior of the monitor. The signal put in order by the video controller is transmitted to the monitor menu controller that carries out two-way communication with a video modulator of a monitor. Thus the exercise information produced by an exerciser on a sports apparatus can be displayed on the monitor.

1 . A device for displaying the exercise information of a sports apparatus on a monitor comprising a RS-232 transmission line, said RS-232 transmission line connected with a micro-processor unit, said micro-processor unit connected with a monitor menu controller, said micro-processor unit transmitting instruction of said RS-232 between a sports apparatus and said monitor menu controller, said monitor menu controller carrying out two-way communication with a scaler in a monitor control chip, said micro-processor unit transmitting signals to a micro-processor, said micro-processor transmitting said signals to said monitor menu controller, exercise information produced by an exerciser taking exercise with said sports apparatus able to be displayed on a monitor.  
   
   
       2 . The device for displaying the exercise information of a sports apparatus on a monitor as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the instruction transmission control protocol of said RS-232 could be summarized as follows: 
 (1). said instruction transmission control protocol displayed to TV cable by forced change-over being 02H, 01H, and 03H;    (2). said instruction transmission control protocol displayed to video-in by forced change-over being 02H, AOH, and A2H;    (3). said instruction transmission control protocol of modulation of sound volume being 02H, 06H, and CS;    (4). said instruction transmission control protocol of channel selection being 02H, 08H, and CS;    (5). said instruction transmission control protocol of color depth of character background being 03H, 80H, 03H, and CS;    (6). said instruction transmission control protocol of displaying the picture in one inner character code being 06H, 20H, 03H, 05H, 64H, 40H, and CS; and    (7). said instruction transmission control protocol of defining one display window being 08H, 70H, 01H, 13H, 00H, C8H, 19, 11, and CS.
