Preferably, a heart rate sensor is further built in each of the two handles, and the heart rate sensor is connected to the processor.
Another object of the present invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
An anti-cheating method based on the intelligent fitness set, including: determining whether the user is cheating or not by the built-in processor in the handle based on data from the built-in sensor in the handle and data fed back from the sensor built in each of the plurality of handheld fitness equipments, when the two handles are connected to any one of the plurality of handheld fitness equipments.
Preferably, the method specifically includes the following steps:
1) detecting touch signals by the touch sensor when the user grasps the two handles with both hands, after the two handles are connected to any one of the plurality of handheld fitness equipments. If the handles are released from the hands, the touch induction is invalid and the action of the user is invalid, and the counts do not increase.
2) after the two handles are connected to an power roller device, the user is prevented from cheating through the following two detection methods:
2.1) detecting by the infrared ranging device built in the power roller equipment a number of rolling turns of the power roller equipment, converting the number of rolling turns into a rolling distance, and transmitting the rolling distance data to the processor built in the handle via signal lines of the pin connector. If the rolling distance fails to meet a standard requirement, it is determined that an action of the user is invalid.
2.2) placing a bodyweight on the power roller, transmitting a pressure data to the processor built in the handle the pressure sensor built in the power roller equipment via the signal lines of the pin connector when the user uses the power roller equipment. If the user grasps the handles with both hands and moves back and forth, rather than push the handles according to a standard movement, no pressure from the bodyweight can be detected by the handles, and the action of the user is invalid.
3) after the two handles are connected to a push-up device, the user is prevented from cheating through the following three detection methods:
3.1) detecting a distance between two portions of the push-up equipment, and transmitting the distance data to the processor built in the handle via signal lines of pin connector. If a distance fails to meet the standard requirement, the action of the user is invalid
3.2) transmitting detected data to the processor built in the handle by the infrared line-crossing detection unit built in the push-up equipment via the signal lines of the pin connector. If the user pushes down to reach or to exceed a standard line, the action of the user is correct; otherwise, the action of the user is invalid.
3.3) detecting a pressure applied to the push-up equipment by the pressure sensor built in the push-up equipment. If the user moves according to a standard action, a body pressure is applied through hands to the push-up equipment. The method further includes calculating the corresponding pressure data by the pressure sensor, and transmitting the pressure data to the processor built in the handle via the signal lines of the pin connector. If a posture of the user is incorrect, such that the pressure sensor fails to detect a pressure within a range, the action of the user is invalid.
4) after the two handles are connected to a rope skipping device, the user is prevented from cheating through the following two detection methods:
4.1) detecting the number of skipping turns of the user by the infrared detector built in the rope skipping equipment and transmitting an accumulated number of turns to the processor built in the handle by the infrared detector via signal lines of pin connector. If the user fails to complete one turn of skipping, the infrared detector detects that action of the user is substandard and the action of the user is invalid.
4.2) detecting a rotation direction of the user's skipping by the infrared detector built in the rope skipping equipment and transmitting the rotation direction data to the processor built in the handle via the signal lines of the pin connector. If a direction of the user's skipping is detected not consistent with the predefined direction, the action of the user is invalid.
5) after the two handles are connected to an elastic rope device, the user is prevented from cheating through the following two detection methods:
5.1) detecting a tension produced by the tension sensor when the elastic rope equipment is pulled and transmitting the tension data to the processor provided in the handle via signal lines of pin connector. If the elastic rope equipment is pulled by the user to a distance of the standard action, the tension sensor detects a tension data. If the elastic rope equipment is not pulled by the user to the distance of the standard action, the tension fails to meet a standard requirement, and the action of the user is invalid.
5.2) detecting a direction and an angle of the elastic rope equipment being pulled by the movement posture sensor provided in each handle, and determining by the handles whether the direction and the angle corresponding to an actual action meet a standard requirement based on action varieties set by the user. If the actual action fails to meet the standard requirement, the action of the user is invalid.
Preferably, in the step 4.2), the infrared detector built in the rope skipping equipment detects a rotation direction of skipping with a signal sequence transmitted by three infrared lamps.

Each handle has a switchable and hot-pluggable bayonet which can be connected to a plurality of handheld fitness equipments. Moreover, a corresponding sensor and pin connector matched with the bayonets of the handles are provided on each of the plurality of handheld fitness equipment. When the handles are connected to the handheld fitness equipments, the processor provided in each handle receives an equipment identification number transmitted by the handheld fitness equipment via the pin connector, and collects movement information (e.g., movement count, whether movement action is correct, etc.) of the handheld fitness equipment based on the equipment identification number, and then uploads the movement information to a mobile terminal or a cloud server. Movement information of a plurality of handheld fitness equipments is collected through one same handle, simplifying the user's operation.
2. The intelligent fitness set of the present invention includes two intelligent fitness handles and a plurality of handheld fitness equipments. Preferably, the plurality of handheld fitness equipments are, respectively, the power roller equipment, the push-up equipment, the rope skipping equipment and the elastic rope equipment.

After the two handles 7 are connected to any one of the handheld fitness equipments, two touch sensors detect touch signals when a user grasps the two handles with both hands. When the handles are released from the hands (including the situation in which the hands fail to grasp the handles tightly), touch induction is invalid. As such, it is determined that action of the user is invalid, and there is no increase in counts.
One of the two handles 7 may be taken as the primary handle (right handle), and the other one may be taken as the secondary handle (left handle). The primary handle may be provided therein with an RF (Radio Frequency) antenna and a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) antenna through which communicates with the mobile terminal. The secondary handle may be provided therein with an RF antenna through which communicates with the mobile terminal.

1) avoiding insufficiency of the rolling distance of the power roller. When the user is using the power roller equipment, the infrared ranging device provided in the power roller equipment detects the number of rolling turns of the power roller equipment, converts the number of rolling turns into a specific rolling distance, and transmits this rolling distance data to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the first pin connector 12. If the rolling distance fails to meet a standard requirement (i.e. that the rolling distance reaches a set threshold), the action of the user is invalid.
2) avoiding the situation in which the user assumes improper postures or cheats by pushing fraudulently: when the user is using the power roller equipment, a body weight is placed on the power roller. The pressure sensor provided in the power roller equipment transmits this pressure data to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the first pin connector 12. If the user grasps the handles with both hands and moves back and forth, rather than push the handles according to a standard action, no pressure from the human body can be detected by the handles, such that the action of the user is determined invalid.
As shown in
As shown in
1) avoiding a deficient distance between the two portions of the push-up equipment: when the user is using the push-up equipment, the infrared ranging device provided in the push-up equipment detects a distance between the two portions of the push-up equipment, and transmits this distance data to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the second pin connector 13. If this distance fails to meet a standard requirement, the action of the user is invalid.
2) avoiding the user's failure to push down his body to be below the line: when the user is using the push-up equipment, the infrared line-crossing detection unit provided in the push-up equipment transmits the detected data to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the second pin connector 13. If the user pushes down to reach a standard line, the action of the user is correct; otherwise, the action of the user is invalid.
3) avoiding a deceptive action: when the user is using the push-up equipment, the pressure sensor provided in the push-up equipment detects pressure applied to the push-up equipment. If the user moves according to a standard action, a body pressure will be applied through hands to the push-up equipment. The pressure sensor calculates the pressure data correspondingly, and transmits this pressure data to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the second pin connector 13. If postures of the user are incorrect, such that the pressure sensor fails to detect a pressure within a corresponding range, the action of the user is invalid.

As shown in
1) avoiding the cheating behavior of artificially increasing the number of skipping counts: when the user is using the rope skipping equipment, the infrared detector provided in the rope skipping equipment detects the number of skipping turns of the user. When the user completes one turn of skipping, a corresponding infrared detector will revolve for one time, and if the user fails to complete one turn of skipping, the infrared detector will detect that action of the user is substandard and thus determine that this action of the user is invalid. Finally, the infrared detector transmits the accumulated number of turns to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the third pin connector 14.
2) avoiding confusion of actions: when the user is using the rope skipping equipment, the infrared detector provided in the rope skipping equipment detects the rotation direction along which the user skips, such as forward-skipping direction, backward-skipping direction, cross-skipping direction, etc., using a signal sequence transmitted by three infrared lamps. This rotation direction data may be transmitted to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the third pin connector 14. If it is detected that the direction along which the user skips is not consistent with the predefined direction (for example, the predefined direction is a forward-skipping direction, while the user skips in a backward-skipping direction), it is determined that action of the user is invalid.
As shown in
As shown in
1) when the user uses the elastic rope equipment, the tension sensor provided in the elastic rope equipment detects the tension produced when the elastic rope equipment is pulled. A rope portion of the elastic rope equipment is an elastic material. As such, when the rope portion is tensioned and deformed within the elastic range, the length of deformation is in direct proportion to the tension. Therefore, if the elastic rope equipment is pulled by the user to the distance of a standard action, the tension sensor will detect a corresponding tension data, and transmit this tension data to the processor provided in each handle via the signal lines of the fourth pin connector 15. If the elastic rope equipment is not pulled by the user to the distance of the standard action, tension fails to meet a standard requirement, and it is determined that the action of the user is invalid.
2) when the user is using the elastic rope equipment, the movement posture sensor provided in each handle detects the direction, angle and other postures of the elastic rope equipment when it is pulled. When the elastic rope is pulled in various manners, the handles will move at different angles along forward, backward, leftward, rightward, upward, downward and slanting directions. The handles determine whether the direction and angle corresponding to an actual action meet the standard requirement based on action varieties set by the user. If the actual action fails to meet the standard requirement, the action of the user is invalid.
As shown in
