Abstract

This invention relates to an MP3 player with exercise meter. It comprises a DSP processor, a vibration sensor, and a heartbeat sensor. The DSP processor processes audio data and plays them. The vibration sensor generates a first signal following a user's vibration and transmits the first signal to the DSP processor. The heartbeat sensor senses the heartbeat condition of the user to generate a second signal and transmit the second signal to the DSP processor. By using the DSP processor, it processes the first and the second signals to obtain the status of physical strength of the user. Therefore, when the user carries the MP3 player for exercising, the MP3 player plays the music and monitors the exercising status of the user simultaneously.
