Cycling computer with image processing device

Abstract

A cycling computer with image processing device is provided for a bike and includes a monitor and a button. The cycling computer is designed to record traffic conditions and physiological signals of a rider. The traffic conditions and the physiological signals are digitalized into cycling data to be displayed on a monitor through operation of a button. A CCD device is mounted on the cycling computer for recording environmental images. An image processing unit is connected to the CCD device for receiving the environmental images captured by the CCD module. The environmental images are incorporated with the cycling data to form a plurality of object images. The object images are displayed on the monitor for versatile applications to the rider.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cycling computer for a bike, comprising:
 at least one bike signal sensor for detecting at least one bike signal of the bike when the bike moves along a traffic path;   at least one rider signal sensor for detecting at least one rider signal of a rider when the rider rides the bike along the traffic path;   an input signal selector electrically connected to the at least one bike signal sensor and the at least one rider signal sensor for selecting the at least one bike signal and the at least one rider signal under a selection operation of a button;   a CCD device for recording at least one environmental image when the bike moves along the traffic path;   an image processing unit electrically connected to the CCD device for processing the environmental image of the CCD device;   a microcontroller electrically connected to the input signal selector and the image processing unit for receiving and incorporating the selected at least one bike signal and the at least one rider signal with the environmental image to generate at least one object data incorporating with the environmental image; and   a data format convertor electrically connected to the microcontroller for receiving and converting the at least one object data incorporating with the environmental image into an encoded object image with a selected data format to be downloaded for a target electronic device.   
     
     
         2 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a memory mounted in the cycling computer and connected to the image processing unit for storing the at least one object data incorporating with the environmental image, the at least one bike signal, and the at least one rider signal, wherein the at least one bike signal include one of a mileage, a speed, slope, an altitude and the traffic path of the bike, and the at least one rider signal includes one of a heartbeat, a temperature and a consumption of calories of the rider. 
     
     
         3 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cycling computer further comprises a wireless transmission device connected to the microcontroller for transmitting the at least one object data incorporating with the environmental image to one of a personal computer, a smart phone and a television through one of a Wifi interface, a Bluetooth interface and an Infrared rays interface. 
     
     
         4 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cycling computer further comprises a wired transmission device connected to the microcontroller for transmitting the at least one object data incorporating with the environmental image to one of a personal computer, a smart phone and a television through one of a USB interface, a FireWire interface and a HDMI interface. 
     
     
         5 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the target electronic device is an indoor fitness simulator. 
     
     
         6 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the target electronic device is an on-line game device. 
     
     
         7 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the CCD device is provided with a rotatable shaft so that the CCD device is rotatable to face the rider to perform a self-taken photograph. 
     
     
         8 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cycling computer is provided with an inward CCD device arranged to face toward the rider to allow the rider to perform a self-taken photograph. 
     
     
         9 . The cycling computer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a GPS module electrically connected to the input signal selector for detecting at least one geographic data of the bike when the bike moves along the traffic path, and then transmitting the at least one geographic data to the microcontroller through the input signal selector.
