Patent ID: 8113990

Claim:
A method of controlling an exercise apparatus, the method comprising: a. controlling a touch screen to display an information field thereon; b. graphically displaying an input zone having a plurality of sensing areas in the information field, the plurality of sensing areas constituting an adjusting path; c. displaying a first tag in the information field, the first tag having a portion pointing to a first sensing area of the input zone and displaying a parameter having a first value on the first tag corresponding to the first sensing area of the input zone; d. dragging the first tag along the adjusting path from the first sensing area to a second sensing area of the input zone; e. displaying a confirmation message on the first tag awaiting for a confirmation input; f. displaying a second value of the parameter on the first tag corresponding to the second sensing area of the input zone after receiving the confirmation input; g. operating the exercise apparatus from a first condition using the first value of the parameter to a second condition using the second value of the parameter; h. displaying a second tag in the information field, the second tag having a portion pointing to the first sensing area of the input zone wherein the relative positions of the first and second tags graphically show the difference between the first and second values of the parameter; i. touching the second tag; j. relocating the first tag and the portion of the first tag pointing back to the first sensing area of the input zone; k. relocating the second tag and the portion of the second tag pointing to the second sensing area of the input zone; l. displaying the first value of the parameter corresponding to the first sensing area of the input zone on the first tag; and m. operating the exercise apparatus from a second condition using the second value of the parameter to a third condition using the first value of the parameter.
