The present application relates to a stationary bicycle, and more particularly to an adjustable fixed bicycle that is used for exercise, as a mating device when purchasing a bicycle, And/or used as an interface in the gaming industry, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for determining a most suitable bicycle for a given rider.

When riding a bicycle, the user's pedaling power is a major factor in determining how quickly the rider will arrive at the destination. There are also other factors associated with bicycles and interactions between the rider and the bicycle, such as wind resistance (ie, drag coefficient) and the weight of the rider and/or bicycle.

In order to optimize the rider's power output on the bicycle, it is important that the bicycle has a size suitable for the rider. The rider must be as far as possible in an aerodynamic riding position, but the impact of this position on the rider's breathing and pedaling should be as small as possible. The pedaling power is directly related to the rider's heart rate, so sufficient breathing is necessary for an optimal riding position.

Currently, when purchasing a bicycle, a rider will ride to a bicycle whose rear wheel is supported by a trainer. Various adjustments (vertical and horizontal position of the seat, pole length and handle height) are made according to the experience of the salesman until the appropriate riding position is reached, which is often determined visually by the salesman. The rider must at least stop pedaling and lean forward to adjust the seat. In some cases, the rider must come down from the bicycle to make adjustments.

In the indoor training industry, especially in the gym, fixed Bicycles are often limited in terms of adjustable parameters available to the user. Furthermore, users of stationary bicycles often lack the ability to adjust the bicycle to a proper posture, or often without the coach assisting him to adjust the bicycle to a proper posture. Therefore, riders trained on a stationary bicycle often do not ride in the best riding position and therefore do not fully benefit from physical exercise.

Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 3, an adjustable bicycle that is adjustable according to one of the first embodiments is generally shown as 10. The stationary bicycle 10 (also referred to herein as a Dynamic Fit Unit (DFU)) has a base 11, a frame 12, an exercise wheel 13, a crank set 14, and a seat. 16, and a handle 18.

The base 11 supports the rest of the bicycle 10. The base 11 is mounted, for example, on the ground.

The frame 12 is coupled to the base 11. The frame supports various user interface components of the bicycle 10, namely the crank set 14, the seat 16, and the handle 18.

The practice wheel 13 is associated with the crank set 14. The power output of the user of bicycle 10 is typically measured using exercise wheel 13. The practice wheel 13 is also actuated to control the resistance to pedaling.

The crankset 14 has a pedal (not shown) and receives a pedaling actuation from a user of the bicycle 10. The pivot axis of the crankset 14 is related to the pivot axis of the crankset of the bicycle, the crankset being pivotally disposed at one of the bottoms of the bicycle frame Inside the bracket.

The seat 16 supports the user of the bicycle 10 in a riding position.

The handle 18 is provided as a support for one of the user's arms.

The frame 12 has a support beam 20 that is coupled to the base 11 by a support beam 20. The support beam 20 has a chain of chains, and the practice wheel 13 is in a rotatable relationship between the chains. Although not shown, a chain/link and gear, belt/pulley, or the like is provided between the wheel 13 and the crankset 14 for transmitting the user's pedaling power to the wheel 13.

A track 22 is supported by the support beam 20. In an embodiment, the track 22 is generally parallel to the ground. A carriage 23 is slidably mounted to the support beam 20 to form a prismatic joint with the support beam 20 (i.e., a one-DOF translation joint). Since the seat 16 is supported by the carriage 23, the seat 16 is displaceable in translation along the X axis. The moving joint formed by the track 22 and the carriage 23 is actuated by the actuator 24.

A seat tube 25 is coupled to the carriage 23 and, in one embodiment, is in a vertical relationship with the carriage 23. A seat strut support 26 telescopically engages into the seat tube 25 to form another moving joint. Since the seat post of the seat 16 is locked to the seat post support 26, the seat can be displaced in translational manner along the Y-axis. The moving joint formed by the seat tube 25 and the seat strut support 26 is actuated by the actuator 27.

The handle 18 can also be displaced in translation along the X and Y axes. More specifically, one of the support handles 18 is operatively mounted to one of the front ends of the track 22, thereby forming a moving joint. The direction of the carriage 30 is along the X axis. In the illustrated embodiment, the displacement of the handle 18 along the X-axis is actuated by the actuator 31.

A front tube 32 is mounted to the carriage 30 and in an embodiment is in a vertical relationship with the carriage 30. A bracket 33 is telescopically inserted into the front tube 32 to form a movable joint that is displaceable in the Y-axis direction. The actuator 34 powers the moving joint in the Y-axis direction.

Although the actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34 are preferably electrically linear actuators, it is also contemplated to utilize a stepper motor or to perform manual actuation. The translational freedom of the seat 16 and the handle 18 is mechanically controlled and Self-supporting/self-locking, 俾 need to be actuated to displace the seat 16 and/or the handle 18. Thus, in the illustrated embodiment, the seat 16 and handle 18 are secured to the X and Y positions and are only displaceable when actuated by the moving joint. Therefore, the seat 16 and the handle 18 can be displaced even if a rider is supported in a riding position.

The bracket 33 is a quick-release mechanism that allows for the quick mounting of different handles 18 to the stationary bicycle 10. Alternatively, it is contemplated to employ a handle that extends along a Z-axis (either orthogonal to one of the X-Y-Z axes and perpendicular to both the X and Y axes).

Although not shown, the crankset 14 is preferably of an extendable type because the cranks can be adjusted to different lengths. One crank set system under consideration has a crank that can be pivoted eccentrically relative to the link so as to be adjustable to different crank lengths.

Various sensors are provided to measure the rider's behavior on the stationary bicycle 10. For example, referring to FIG. 5, a power sensor 40 and a cadence sensor 41 are respectively disposed in association with the practice wheel 13 and the crank set 14 to measure the pedaling power and rhythm of a rider. Other configurations of such sensors and other sensors 42 may be considered, such as a heart rate monitor, pedal pressure sensor, and the like.

It is contemplated that the stationary bicycle 10 can be configured in different configurations to enhance its rigidity. Referring to Fig. 4, an alternative embodiment of a stationary bicycle is also illustrated as 10, but has one of the frames 12' different from the frame 12 of the stationary bicycle shown in Figures 1 to 3. There are many similar components between the stationary bicycle 10 of Figures 1 to 3 and the stationary bicycle 10 of Figure 4, wherein similar components will have similar reference numerals.

The frame 12' has a pair of rails 22' for supporting the carriage 23' so that the carriage 23' can be displaced in a translational manner along the X-axis, thereby enabling horizontal adjustment of the seat 16. The carriage 23' is composed of one pair of parallel plates for supporting the seat tube 25.

Similarly, the frame 12' has a pair of rails 22" for supporting the carriage 30' so that the carriage 30' can be displaced in a translational manner along the X-axis, thereby enabling horizontal adjustment of the seat 16. The frame 30' is used to support one of the front tubes 32 to the parallel plates composition.

Although similar in construction to the frame 12 (Figs. 1 to 3), the configuration of the frame 12' (Fig. 4) can provide additional structural rigidity to the stationary bicycle 10. Alternative frame configurations can also be considered.

Referring to Figure 5, a stationary bicycle control system is shown generally at 50 in accordance with an embodiment. Bicycle controller system 50 is in communication with actuators 24, 27, 31 and 34, and sensors 40, 41, and 42.

The bicycle controller system 50 has a bicycle controller 51 which is a processing unit (personal computer (PC), microprocessor, etc.). The bicycle controller 51 automatic force sensor 40, tempo sensor 41, and other sensors 42 receive data.

A position commander 52 is coupled to the bicycle controller 51 and associated with the actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34. More specifically, the actuation of the actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34 is controlled by the commander 52. A position calculator 53 is coupled to the position commander 52 and determines the position of the seat 16 and the handle 18 in the X-Y coordinate system shown in Figures 1 through 3.

As an example, one of the X and Y coordinates of the seat 16 and the handle 18 is referenced to the center of one of the crank sets 14, which is associated with the center of the bottom bracket of a bicycle frame. Considering that the rider's foot is locked to the crank of the crankset 14, the center of the crankset 14 will define a fixed point that is well suited for use as a reference for the position of the seat 16 and the handle 18.

The location calculator 53 can operate in different ways. For example, in one embodiment, each time the stationary bicycle 10 is turned on, a calibration is performed to correlate the degree of actuation of the actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34 with respect to the X and Y positions relative to the reference. . In one embodiment, the actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34 perform a homing movement (moving to a zero extension position) to be calibrated. Alternatively, sensors 202, 204, 206, 208 (see Figure 5) can be placed in actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34, or on various mobile connectors to detect The seat 16 and the handle 18 are positioned relative to the X, Y position of the reference. Consider using a sensor as a manual actuation mechanism that displaces the seat 16 and the handle 18.

A profile calculator 54 is coupled to the bicycle controller 51. The profile calculator 54 receives various materials from the sensors 40 to 42 over time, and receives the X position and the Y position of the seat 16 and the handle 18. Therefore, the rider's performance (eg, pedaling power, rhythm, heart rate) is related to the size of the stationary bicycle 10. All information is related to the identity and characteristics of the rider (eg, name, anthropometric measurement data, weight, age, etc.), and the rider's identity and characteristics are presented as a rider in a rider profile database 55. The form of the profile. Additional information can be recorded in the rider profile, such as the preferred size of the stationary bicycle 10.

A user interface 56 is coupled to the bicycle controller 51. The user interface 56 is typically a display having a touch key or a keyboard. The user interface 56 receives commands via the touch keys or the keyboard, and information (eg, rider identity) is accessed by the touch. The keys or the keyboard are input. In one embodiment, the user interface 56 displays actuator controls to manually control the actuation of the actuators 24, 27, 31, and 34. It is contemplated to provide an icon for indicating the available shift direction of the seat 16 and the handle 18 on a touch screen.

User interface 56 may include other peripheral devices such as a printer, a plug-in device (e.g., USB port), a digital camera, and the like. A smart card and a chip card can be used to store the rider profile.

Among the various applications considered, it is envisaged to utilize the stationary bicycle 10 as one of the training devices in a public gym environment. When a rider wants to use the bicycle 10, his identity is entered into the bicycle controller system 50, thereby capturing the rider profile from the database 55. The bicycle controller 51 transmits information to the position commander 52 to adjust the size of the stationary bicycle 10 based on the identity of the rider.

For a new user of the stationary bicycle 10, a rider profile is created and saved in the rider profile database 55. Consider providing statistics that correlate the user's anthropometric data with the desired bicycle size. Therefore, by inputting anthropometric data associated with a user, the bicycle controller 51 can select a suitable bicycle size based on the anthropometric data. As described below, a frame size calculator 57 is used to select based on anthropometric data. A suitable bicycle size. Alternatively, the formula can be derived from statistical data to determine the initial bicycle size based on anthropometric data. In one embodiment discussed below in connection with method 500 (Fig. 9), the functionality of frame size calculator 57 extends to include determining a most suitable bicycle frame, struts, struts, and seat struts. Other additional functions of the frame size calculator 57 discussed below include determining a rider's clothing for a person/ride who is suitable for performing a body condition measurement. Thus, the term "frame size calculator" can be replaced by the term "custom calculator" and still conforms to the description of the invention described herein.

Furthermore, the rider profile can include the behavior of the rider at different bike sizes. Thus, based on a review of the information collected in the database 55 and subsequent calculations by the profile calculator 54, an optimal bicycle size can be determined. This is especially true for elite athletes. Alternatively, a coach can assist the rider in attempting a different bicycle size to subsequently enter the size at a location selected by the coach or rider.

As another application, the stationary bicycle 10 is used as an integrated state measuring device to determine an optimal bicycle size. The stationary bicycle 10 is used with the controller system 50 to collect behavioral information associated with the size of the bicycle. The use of actuators 24, 27, 31 and/or 34 enables a dynamic body state measurement. More specifically, controller system 50 can instruct a plurality of incremental changes to cause the rider to step on various adjusted positions without interrupting the rider. Alternatively, the rider profile data from database 55 can be interpreted to identify the best location. Based on the rider profile, the optimal bike size for the rider can be determined (depending on the type of bicycle, such as road bikes, mountain bikes, cross-country bikes, etc.).

When the stationary bicycle 10 is used as part of an integrated state measuring device, it is contemplated to provide the controller system 50 with a frame size calculator 57. The frame size calculator 57 receives the actual position data (i.e., the position adjusted after the user's test) from the bicycle controller 51, and generates frame size data. The frame size calculator 57 is also provided for identifying the initial seat and handle position based on the user's anthropometric data. The frame size calculator 57 typically selects the starting seat and handle position based on statistics relating the size of the bicycle to the anthropometric data. For this purpose, bicycle The controller 51 is coupled to the Internet 58 to access a remotely-located server containing one of the statistical tables that associates the bicycle/frame size with the anthropometric data. These statistical tables are usually updated with any new user and the adjusted bicycle size is recorded based on anthropometric data.

The information represented by the frame size data calculated by the frame size calculator 57 may be sufficient for a user (e.g., a salesman) to select a bicycle of the correct size. As an example, the X and Y coordinates of the seat and handle are given relative to the pivot axis (reference) of the crank set. Next, a tool (e.g., a T-shaped ruler) can be provided to measure a bicycle to determine if it has the correct size. Therefore, a store salesperson can easily select a bicycle from the inventory list when having the required bicycle size and the instrument for measuring the bicycle.

Alternatively, user interface 56 may form data in a file format that can be saved. For example, frame size data can be printed or saved for transmission to a bicycle supplier or a bicycle manufacturer. Similarly, the bicycle controller 51 can be connected to the Internet 58 to transfer the bicycle size to a bicycle manufacturer. In the case of a customized bicycle, the use of the controller system 50 can reduce the delay between the measurement of the posture of a bicycle.

Additional information is available. For example, consider placing the stationary bicycle 10 in a wind tunnel to obtain the rider's drag coefficient based on the impact of the bicycle size on the riding position. This information is then correlated with the rider's behavior to determine the optimal bicycle size for the rider.

A stationary bicycle is also considered to be used as a motion stimulator for video games. The stationary bicycle 10 can provide force feedback in the form of resistance in the practice wheel 13, as well as stimulating vibration of the bicycle via actuation of the actuators 24, 27, 31 and/or 34.

In Fig. 6, a method 100 for adjusting a stationary bicycle (e.g., the stationary bicycle 10 of Figs. 1 to 4) is explained, the method being fixed, for example, as described in Figs. 1 to 5. The bicycle control system is used in combination.

In step 102, information associated with a user of the stationary bicycle is obtained.

In one embodiment, if the user first attempts to use a stationary bicycle, the information is typically anthropometric data relating to the length of the lower limb (eg, measured at the ankle), the size of the torso, the length of the arm of the user, and the width of the shoulder. Additional information may also be recorded, such as a user restriction (eg, back pain, knee problems, etc.).

In another embodiment, the stationary bicycle is used in a training environment and the user has recorded a profile in the stationary bicycle control system 50 (Fig. 5), at which time the data obtained in step 102 is Is one of the users. By obtaining the identity of the user in step 102, after a prior adjustment phase, the stationary bicycle control system 50 can load the stationary bicycle size for pre-recording in a user profile.

In step 104, the size of the stationary bicycle is selected based on the user profile obtained in step 102. More specifically, if the data is essentially anthropometric data, the fixed bicycle control system obtains a typical size from a statistical data table that correlates the anthropometric data of multiple users with such The average size associated with the data. In another embodiment, the selected fixed bicycle size is provided for a user profile.

In step 106, the stationary bicycle is actuated to a selected size using the various actuators described in Figures 1 through 5.

In step 107, the stationary bicycle is placed in a stand-by state, which is especially useful when the stationary bicycle is used in a training environment. If one of the fixed bicycles has been adjusted in a previous stage, step 107 is typically reached.

In step 108, a test cycle is provided for the stationary bicycle. More specifically, the user pedals the stationary bicycle for rotation to provide personal knowledge of a particular selected size. In step 108, the user or an operator (e.g., a coach) utilizes the interface of the stationary bicycle control system 50 to adjust the seat and handle position to reach the adjusted position preferred by the user. It should also be noted that an observer (such as a bicycle store professional) can stand by the user to provide advice on posture and pedaling.

In a test configuration, the adjusted position is reached after testing several locations. It is recommended to provide incremental changes in the size of the bicycle and ask the user to Constant power for rotation. The user's comments are collected at each location change to facilitate selection of a bicycle size. It is also considered to take a picture when the user steps on to provide a foot-activated video footage for different frame sizes.

In another test configuration, the adjusted location is used after collecting parameters related to user behavior. More specifically, in an optional step 109, parameters related to the behavior of the user of the stationary bicycle are measured. For example, the user's pedaling power, pedaling rhythm, and heart rate are measured as a function of the size of the stationary bicycle. This step is usually performed for high-level athletes.

In step 110, once the test is completed and the user has selected the final size of the stationary bicycle, the user is recorded the adjusted size. Thus, if the stationary bicycle is used in a training environment, one of the user-specific profiles is recorded to skip test steps 108 and 109 on the next use.

In optional step 111, statistics are recorded based on anthropometric data to accumulate general data relating the size of the bicycle to the anthropometric data.

In step 112, the bicycle frame size is suggested based on the adjusted position recorded in step 10, which is particularly suitable for use in a bicycle store.

In one embodiment, the bicycle frame size can be compared to a store inventory to determine which of the stores are suitable for the user based on the adjusted position obtained from method 100.

As an alternative embodiment, the bicycle frame size obtained in step 112 is handed over to a bicycle manufacturer to make a bicycle of this size.

As noted above, the method 100 is well suited for determining an optimal bicycle size (combination of frames, rods, struts, and seat struts) for a given rider. The bicycle frame size of the determined optimal bicycle size can be compared to a store inventory to determine a suitable full bicycle from among the available bicycles in the store.

However, when a bicycle is custom-fitted for a given rider, each of the frame, the rod, the strut, and the seat post is preferably selected separately, and the best combination of one of the components can be determined. As used herein, the selection or determination of the struts includes selection Select or make sure there are no poles or one or more poles.

To better accommodate custom assembly, the bicycle controller system 50 includes a database 200 (see Figure 5) for storing the available bicycle frames, poles, struts, and seat struts. A list of stores from a store that has completed a custom assembly, or a list of stores from another source of purchase (such as a manufacturer's inventory), or another store that participates in a parts-exchange program. As noted above, the information contained within the repository 200 can be retrieved from an external data repository via the Internet server 58 as an alternative.

The size of the available bicycle frame is stored in the database 200 in the form of "set of points". This can be seen most clearly with reference to Figures 7 and 8, wherein Figure 7 shows a single line of a bicycle frame 300. The figure shows that the bicycle frame 300 has a top tube 302, a lower tube 304, a front tube 306, a seat tube 308, a chain tube 310, and a seat stay tube 312, all of which are based on the technology. The manners are conventionally set and attached to each other, and FIG. 8 depicts a set of points 400 (also referred to herein as a first set of points) that represent all of the frames 300 available to a custom fitter. The X, Y coordinates 402 of the top of the front tube relative to the central axis 406 of the bottom bracket and the X, Y coordinates 404 of the top of the seat post relative to the central axis 406 of the bottom bracket. The graphical circles 314, 316, and 318 relate the features of the frame 300 shown in FIG. 7 to the two sets of points 402 and 404 associated with FIG. As can be seen from the illustration of Fig. 8, the bottom bracket of each available frame has only one X, Y coordinate, so that the X, Y coordinate system is used in conjunction with the center of the crank set 14 as the above reference.

The size of the available rods and struts and the size of the available seat struts are also stored in the database 200 in a corresponding set of points, as will be explained in more detail below.

Referring now to Figures 6 and 9, it can be seen in Figure 6 that one of the extensions of method 100 is represented by a circle A graphic after step 112, which is preceded by step 502 in extension method 500 shown in Figure 9. Repeatedly. In one embodiment, method 500 is an extension of method 100 and will now be explained in greater detail.

In step 502, method 500 begins after method 100 ends, while utilizing the information collected and/or suggested by method 100. For example, in step 112 of method 100, the self is adjusted according to the adjusted position recorded in step 110. Car frame size recommendations. As noted above, the proposed bicycle frame size includes one of the best frame sizes determined by the frame size calculator 57, including the top of the front tube 306 and the top of the seat tube 308 relative to the reference-crank set 14. The best X, Y dimensions for the location of the center (also identified herein as reference numbers 318 and 406). However, it is likely that the preferred X, Y dimensions of the proposed bicycle frame include dimensions that are not accurately available in an off-the-shelf or inventory bicycle frame. Therefore, another method is needed to establish one of the given riders that is suitable for performing a body condition measurement that best fits the bicycle frame and associated bicycle components (rods, struts, seat struts). This additional method is found in method 500 and is performed by the above described extended functionality of frame size calculator 57.

In step 502, an optimal bicycle frame size (best frame) is determined for a particular rider based on the information available in step 112. The preferred frame size includes the X, Y coordinates of the top of the front tube 306 relative to the bottom bracket 406 and the X, Y coordinates of the top of the seat tube 308 relative to the bottom bracket 406. As previously discussed, the best frame determined in step 502 may not actually be available in a spot or inventory bicycle framework, at which point step 504 is performed.

In step 504, it is determined that one of the closest match best frames is best suited for the frame. To achieve this most suitable determination, a first set of points 400 is generated using a list of parts of the available frames stored in the repository 200, the list of parts including the tube angle (HT angle) of the top of the front tube 306 relative to the bottom bracket 406 And the X, Y coordinates and the seat tube angle (ST angle) and the X, Y coordinates of the top of the seat tube 308 relative to the bottom bracket 406, the first set of points 400 for each of the individual frames in the list of parts The X, Y coordinates of the top of the front tube (see group 402 of Figure 8) and the X, Y coordinates of the top of the seat tube (see group 404 in Figure 8) and the bottom bracket (see Figure 8) Reference number 406) is relevant. The HT angle and ST angle are used in more detail as explained below. The final result of step 504 identifies that one of the most suitable matches to the best frame from step 502 is available for the most suitable bicycle frame.

In step 506, the position of the X and Y coordinates of the handle is determined to suit the rider's hand relative to the position of the bottom bracket 406 that best fits the frame. And determine the best position of the X, Y coordinates of a seat to accommodate the rider's hips. Such determination can be accomplished with the aid of the frame size calculator 57 described above, or with information from the sensors 202, 204, 206, and 208 (see Figure 5), which is based on the posture. The anthropometric data of the user is measured to identify the initial seat and handle position, and the sensors 202, 204, 206, and 208 are used to provide the X and Y coordinates of the handle and seat as described above.

The dimensions of all available rods and struts are stored in the database 200 in a set of dots, as best seen in Figures 10 through 13. Figure 10 depicts a matrix representation 220 of all available bicycle poles. Figure 11 illustrates a one-line diagram representation 225 of a combination of available rods and all available struts that are superimposed on top of each other such that the vertical portion of each rod is oriented relative to a vertical Y-axis. Wherein the end of the stem portion that fits in the heat pipe provides a common reference, and wherein X is a set of points 230 (also referred to herein as a second set of points) indicating that the handle will be attached to The position of the end of each rod. Figure 12 depicts the outer boundary of the set of points 230. Figure 13 is a diagram showing the angle (HT angle) of the set of points 230 rotated to the most suitable frame in Figure 12, the set of points being rotated and identified by reference numeral 230'. Based on the above description, it should be understood that a second set of points 230 can be generated using a list of parts of the rod and the struts, and a transformation process is applied to produce a second set of points 230' that are rotated and translated, 俾 a second set of points 230' Orientation relative to the X, Y coordinates and angles of the top of the tube prior to the most suitable frame. For all possible poles and struts in the list of parts, the second set of points 230 relates the position of the handle to the position of the rod and the rod and The angle formed by the struts.

Similarly, the dimensions of all available seat posts are stored in the database 200 in the form of another set of points, as best seen with reference to Figures 14A, 14B, 15A, and 15B. Figure 14A is a one-line diagram representation 240 of one of the available (straight) seat posts superimposed on top of each other and oriented relative to a vertical Y-axis, wherein each of the seat posts provides a common reference at the bottom, and wherein X A set of points 245 (also referred to herein as a third set of points) is depicted that indicate where the seat will be attached to the end of each seat post. Figure 14B is a pictorial representation 250 of another type of seat post having a rearward facing collet (clamp head) 252. And Fig. 15A shows the angle (ST angle) of the set of points 245 of Fig. 14A rotated to the seat tube most suitable for the frame, the set of points being rotated and identified by reference numeral 245'. Based on the above description, it should be understood that a third set of points 245 is generated using a list of available seat pillars and a transformation process is applied to produce a rotated and translated third set of points 245', the third set of points 245' being relative to the most The X, Y coordinates and angles of the top of the seat tube for the frame are oriented. For all possible seat posts in the list of parts, the third set of points 245 relates the position of the top of the seat post to the bottom of the seat post. Figure 15B depicts another set of points 255' that are rotated in a manner similar to the set of points 245' shown in Figure 15A, but wherein the X-series indicates that the offset seat will be attached to have the above-mentioned The position of the end of each of the seat posts of the rear collet 252. It should be understood that the above-described list of parts for generating the available seat struts of the rotated third set of points may comprise only straight seat struts (points of rotation 245'), including only seat struts having a rearward facing collet (via The point of rotation is 255'), or both (rotated points 245' and 255').

Referring now back to FIG. 9, in step 508, the second set of points 230' rotated and translated from above is covered by the X, Y coordinates of the rider's hand obtained from the sensors 206, 208. Rotating and translating the second set of points 230' to find a most suitable solution to determine a subset of the second set of points 230' that will fit both the frame and the rider's hand, the subset being relative to the most Suitable for the frame to define a subset of available poles and struts.

In step 510, from the third set of points 245' rotated and translated, the X and Y coordinates of the rider seat position obtained by the self-sensors 202, 204 are covered by the third rotation and translation. Group point 245' to find a most suitable solution to determine a subset of a third set of points 245' that will fit both the frame and the rider's buttocks, which subset is available with respect to the most suitable frame. A subset of the seat pillars.

In step 512, a list is output via the user interface 56 (see Figure 5), in which the most suitable frame, available poles and pole subsets, and available seat pillar subsets are relative to the body state. The given rider of the survey is arranged in order from most suitable to least suitable. The first set of bicycle frames presented is called For "closest fit", the next group is "match fit" and the last group is "not fit". In each of these displays, the assembler can sort by the associated model/frame size, brand, seat distance, handle distance, and total distance, with the last three distances being DFU X, Y, and one. The difference between X and Y that can be achieved on a bicycle can be seen most clearly with reference to Figure 24 discussed below.

Notably, step 506 includes determining the position of both the handle (the rider's hand) and the seat (the rider's buttocks) relative to the most suitable frame, which means that the method 500 can be readily adapted to surround the data. A component (rod or seat post) is pivoted to achieve the output list of step 512.

Moreover, although steps 508 and 510 are presented in a particular order, it should be understood that this particular order is not an essential feature of method 500 and the order of steps 508, 510 may be reversed.

As an extension of the method 100, the execution of the method 500 is accomplished via the user interface 56 (see FIG. 5). The user interface 56 has a graphical user interface input/selection field and an output display field. Reference will now be made to FIG. It is discussed in Figure 24.

Figure 16 is a screen image 600 displayed on the user interface 56 and having a user selection field 602. The user selection field 602 includes "New Client" and "Existing Clients". "Initial Set-Up", "Synchronize", and "About".

Bar)" and "Crank And Bottom Bracket Position" information (if such information is known). In order to achieve one of the purposes disclosed herein, a pull-down menu and an up/down selection arrow are used as appropriate. The information related to "Saddle" includes the "Type" of the seat, the "Thickness (mm)" of the seat, and the "Clamp to Nose" of the seat. (mm))" size, and any "Other" information about the seat that can be used for assembly purposes. Information related to the "Aero Bar" includes the "Type" of the streamlined handle (for example, straight), the "Length" of the streamlined handle, and the "shield height (mm) of the streamlined handle ( Pad Height (mm)), "Bracket Type" for installing streamlined handles (such as the top mount base), and any "Other" information about the streamlined handles that may be relevant for assembly purposes. Information related to "Crank And Bottom Bracket Position" includes "Crank Length (mm)" and "Bottom Bracket Position" (for example, center) Bottom bracket). The "Go Back" and "Open Fit" selection buttons are provided for opening the previous screen or proceeding to the assembly control screen shown in Figure 21 (discussed below).

FIG. 21 illustrates a screen image 850, which is also referred to as a Fitting Control screen. The bicycle controller 51 of the bicycle controller system 50 (see Figure 5) receives input and/or changes to the assembly control screen 850, which in turn provides control signals to the position commander 52, which in turn provides control The signals actuate the actuators 24, 47, 31, and 34, which in turn move the seat and handle along the X, Y axes based on the assembly parameters input to the assembly control screen 850. The left side of the assembly control screen 850 provides graphical control for adjusting the DFU 10, referred to herein as the control section, and the right side of the assembly control screen 850 provides recording and tracking of the video of the athlete on the DFU, referred to herein as the video zone. segment. This video can be analyzed to measure the athlete's key joint angles (such as leg extension and hip angle), which can be done either statically or dynamically. In addition, each time the assembler selects the "Capture Fit" button (discussed further below), the software collects the SX, SY, HX, and HY coordinates, along with the character line drawing at that location. One of the athletes represented is a still image. Multiple locations can be stored and viewed at a later time, with associated images always displayed in the Capture Assembly Data window. The control section contains the "Start position" of the seat and the handle and the input parameter of the change of the seat and the handle. The X and Y positions of the seat relative to the bottom bracket are SX, SY. Marked, and the X, Y position of the handle relative to the bottom bracket is identified by HX, HY. Adjust the X position and Y position of the seat by clicking the up/down/left/right buttons on the left side of the control section, and adjust the X position of the handle by clicking the up/down/left/right buttons on the right side of the control section. Y position. You can also change SX, SY, HX, and HY by changing the value in the box below the "Direction" or "Start position" button and using the "Go To" button. The coordinates are then moved to the designated location via the actuator. As such, all four axes or any combination thereof can be moved simultaneously. 24, 27, 31, 34. The graphic 854 provides a graphical indication for indicating the degree of fit that best fits the frame determination result to the optimal frame determination result. In one embodiment, the graphic indication also performs color matching such that a "green" color indicates a "most Suitable for "program", a "blue" color indicates a "good" fit scheme, and an "orange" color indicates a "good" fit. In one implementation In the example, the color indication of the graphic 854 can be replaced by an achromatic indication. For example, the graphic 854 having a "real" line is synonymous with the graphic 854 having the color "green", and the graphic 854 having a "dash" line and the color is " The blue figure 854 is synonymous, and the graphic 854 having a "dot" line is synonymous with the graphic 854 having the color "orange". In another embodiment, the graphic 854 can include both color and line width as a visual indicator of one of the fit schemes. Once it is determined that the mating system is acceptable, the "Capture Fit" button is selected to store the assembly information in the repository 200 and to initiate the method 500 to determine the most suitable bicycle for the person performing the posture measurement. If you have used the "Capture Fit" button to store multiple locations, the assembler can switch between the various positions using the "Go To" button on the captured assembly data. The DFU moves all axes simultaneously to the saved position. This allows the person performing the posture measurement to immediately feel the difference from one position to another without stopping the pedaling or coming down from the DFU. An "APPLY" selection button is provided in the control section to allow the assembler to perform an assembly in a seamless manner using an F.I.S.T. (Fit Institute Slowtwitch) assembly agreement. Such an agreement utilizes one of the techniques for optimizing the position of the rider at a given seat tube angle, and then tests the rider at multiple effective seat tube angles, and at these different seat tube angles Keep the relationship between the seat and the handle. The information next to the "Apply" button and located in the box to the left of the "Apply" button is the effective seat tube angle of the rider currently on the DFU. The fitter can change this angle by typing the desired angle, and the software will perform all the required calculations to adjust the overall position while moving all four axes to maintain the relationship between the seat and the handle and the athlete/ride achieved The biomechanical alignment of the person. In this way, the assembler can quickly test the position of the rider within one of the seat tube angles without having to calculate the effective geometric relationship between the four axes (related to SX, SY, HX, HY). All other posture measuring bicycles require the assembler to perform such calculations independently of the body measuring bicycle and then manually apply the results. Because the FIST protocol relies on the "good, better, best" method used to determine which rider's angle is most comfortable at the seat tube angle, the rider's ability to move seamlessly between the saved positions Allows more practical adjustment of the body measurement bike than a manual adjustment Perform such assembly.

FIG. 22 depicts a screen image 900 that provides the most suitable output information from method 500. The "Available Models" (which are arranged according to the above-mentioned "best fit", "good" fit, and "good" classification) are presented on top of the screen image 900 and are selected from The "Selected Models" of the available models are presented in more detail to provide, for example, the name of the part that best fits the frame, the pole, and the seat post on the bottom of the screen image 900.

FIG. 23 depicts a screen image 950 that provides more detail regarding the selected model from the screen image 900.

Figure 24 depicts a screen image 1000 that provides a customer report that best suits the bicycle parameters as compared to one of the optimal bicycle parameters. In the illustrated embodiment, "Capture Fit (mm)" is associated with the best bicycle from method 500, and "frame_60 (Frame_60)" is the most determined from method 500. Suitable for bicycles. It should be understood that the "frame_60" (Frame_60) naming convention is for illustrative purposes only. The information presented in "Delta (mm)" and optionally "Dif (%) (Delta (%)") provides the value of the difference between the best bicycle and the most suitable bicycle. The required components for constructing the rods, struts, and seat struts that are most suitable for the bicycle are provided under the "Required Parts" list. The screen image 1000 also includes a selection button for printing a customer report via a "Print" selection button, a customer report via the "Email Customer" selection button, and an electronic transmission to the sales department. The "Email Sale Dept." button is used to send an email to the sales department and close the DFU program via the "Close" selection button.

In addition to the above description of the method 500 for determining one of the most suitable bicycle frames, rods, struts, and seat struts for a rider performing a body condition measurement, another feature that the frame size calculator 57 can perform is determined to be suitable. A rideable rider's available ride for body measurements. Since the anthropometric data of the rider is captured in one or more of the image screens 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000 and stored in the database 200, Available in the inventory A comparison of the rider's clothing (also stored in the database 200) with the rider's anthropometric data will easily accomplish the task of finding the appropriate garment that will fit the rider. In this way, the rider can be equipped not only with one of the appropriately sized bicycles, but also with appropriately sized garments such as riding shoes, socks, shorts, tops, jackets, sunglasses, and helmets.

The soft system performs the method 500 based on mathematical theory, and an example of such mathematical theory is a calculus obtained at http://paulbourke.net/geometry/insidepoly/ for finding a point in one of the polygons in the two-dimensional plane. The method, and the commercially available algorithm used by the GPS map software to locate an address or latitude/longitude coordinate, except that the method 500 applies a set of point formats to the analyzed data to determine the frame, and It is best suited for one of the poles, struts, and seat struts. A complete bicycle is typically constructed from a frame, a pole, a seat post, and struts (0 to 10 struts, 5 mm per struts in one embodiment). The most variable component is the frame, due to seat angle, handle angle, handle size (X, Y position of the handle relative to the bottom bracket), and the seat post (X, Y position of the seat relative to the bottom bracket) is Variable. Applying all rods and seat posts to all frames can cause performance problems. To simplify the selection process, to replace all rod possibilities (including the possibility of all struts) with one of all individual X, Y coordinates of one polygon (all seat struts are a polygon and all rods and struts are a polygon) All seat pillar possibilities. The two polygons are then applied to each frame by applying a handle angle, a handle X, a Y coordinate, a seat angle, and a seat post X, Y coordinate. Figure 12 shows the polygons of all the rods and struts in two dimensions. Figure 13 shows a polygon applied to a frame based on the handle angle. Reference herein to the X, Y position of a seat post refers to the X, Y position of the center of the seat post clamp (eg, see Figure 14B, item 252) for clamping the seat to the seat post, and The X and Y positions at the top of the seat post refer to the X and Y positions of the center of the seat post clamp.

After checking the set of points for the first time, all frames that cannot fit the rider's handle coordinates will be removed. To begin with, first check to see if the X, Y coordinates of the rider's handle are within the handle polygon 230' of the different frame. To find out the ride Whether the X and Y coordinates of the handle of the handle are located in the handle polygon of the frame, use the X and Y coordinates of the handle of the rider to draw an algorithm of virtual line in any direction. A random number generator can be used to select the virtual line. The number of times this virtual line passes through the frame handle polygon is then counted. If the count is an odd number, the algorithm concludes that the X, Y coordinate of the rider's handle is located in the polygon. If the count is an even number (including 0), the algorithm determines the rider's The X and Y coordinates of the handle are located outside the polygon. Figures 25 and 26 illustrate examples of X, Y coordinates of rider handles located outside of the polygon and within the polygon, respectively. Although three virtual lines are illustrated in each of Figures 25 and 26, only one line is required in the method described herein. The three virtual line systems are illustrated only to indicate that the virtual lines can be in any direction. When the coordinates are outside the polygon, the algorithm removes all frames from the list of possible coordinates.

The frame retained after this first pass inspection is used for a second pass check. In the second pass inspection, the algorithm applies the seat polygon to the rider's hip coordinates in a manner similar to that described above. After these two passes, the algorithm is able to generate a list of frames that will likely match the rider's hand and hip coordinates. Using this framework list, the algorithm extracts matching poles and seats from the various sets of points used to form the polygons. The algorithm only applies all the bars to all possible matching frames instead of applying all the bars to all frames, as is the case for the seat posts.
