This application claims priority benefit of TW Patent Application Ser. No. 103140585 filed 2014 Nov. 24 which is hereby incorporated herein by reference its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a personal exercise measuring safety system, and more particularly, to a personal exercise measuring safety system using image recognition technique to analyze the environment when riding a bicycle.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Riding a bicycle has become a trend for many reasons such as sport and travel and has thus attracted more people to take part in it. However, in a crowded metropolitan area, riding a bicycle on the same road with other vehicles can be dangerous when there is heavy traffic.
A bicycle rider often needs to turn his/her head around to see if there is any vehicle approaching and to keep a safe distance. When turning around, the rider could often fail to notice any obstacles or vehicles ahead, and could encounter some dangerous situation when a reckless driver cuts in the same lane.
Besides, it takes a lot of effort to ride a bicycle under various circumstances, especially under a high-temperature condition. In such case, if no proper measure is taken to evaluate the environment and to monitor the health condition of the rider, the rider could be harmed from excessive bicycle riding.
In addition, prior art bicycle meters disclosed in patents such as Taiwan Patent No. I289659 titled “Intelligent Meter”, Taiwan Patent No. 581016 titled “Cycling Computer Device” do not provide images regarding the riding environment. Although Taiwan Patent No. M446381 titled “Monitoring system for bicycle riding behavior” and Taiwan Patent No. M476291 titled “Multifunctional Intelligent Meter” did provide images on the meters, they fail to include environmental images for the rider to observe the environment and alarming information regarding various bicycle riding situations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a personal exercise measuring safety system which can prompt the bicycle rider with the traffic condition around the rider and alarming information based on current conditions.
To solve the previous technical problems, one objective of the present application is providing a personal exercise measuring safety system which can use image recognition technique to analyze the environment when riding a bicycle.
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present application provides a personal exercise measuring safety system. The personal exercise measuring safety system is applied in a bicycle and includes an image acquiring or information transmitting device, an exercise measuring device, a personal mobile digital measuring device and a power supply device. The image acquiring or information transmitting device is configured on one portion of the bicycle by a fixator. The exercise measuring device detects a motion so as to provide a piece of exercise information. The personal mobile digital measuring device is electrically connected with the image acquiring or information transmitting device by a digital image transmitting device so as to receive an image or information. The personal mobile digital measuring device selectively displays the image or information, or provides an external handheld communication device for receiving and displaying the image or information. The digital image transmitting device is a wired or a wireless transmission module. The personal mobile digital measuring device is connected with the exercise measuring device so as to receive and display the exercise information. The power supply device is configured to provide power to the image acquiring or information transmitting device, the exercise measuring device, and the personal mobile digital measuring device.
As above described, the personal exercise measuring safety system acquires rear images from the image acquiring or information transmitting device configured on the back of the bicycle and provides information regarding the rear conditions to the rider. Therefore, the bicycle rider can obtain the real-time information of the rear environment without turning his/her head around when riding.
For a better understanding of the aforementioned embodiments of the invention as well as additional embodiments thereof, reference should be made to the Description of Embodiments below, in conjunction with the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the figures.
The following description is about embodiments of the present invention; however it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The personal exercise measuring safety system further comprises an environment sensor (such as thermometer, hygrometer, barometer, etc.). The environment sensor is wirelessly connected with the personal mobile digital measuring device 3 and provides a environment sensing information, wherein the personal mobile digital measuring device 3 receives the environment sensing information from the environment sensor, and evaluating a condition of a user 7 by the environment sensing information and the exercise information to determine whether the physical state of the user 7 is suitable for further riding. For example, the personal mobile digital measuring device 3 can determine if there is a risk of heat stroke by obtaining and evaluating the body temperature of the user, the current ambient temperature, and humidity; if so, then the personal mobile digital measuring device 3 can display heat stroke alarming information to remind the user 7.
Before riding the bicycle 1, the user 7 can place the personal mobile digital measuring device 3 at the bicycle stem and the image acquiring or information transmitting device 2 at the rear of the bicycle. When the user 7 starts to ride the bicycle, the personal mobile digital measuring device 3 can display the current speed of the bicycle 1 through a display module 32 (
