Patent ID: 7402125

Claim:
An electronic console with a system for indicating motion power, comprising: a circuit board with a microprocessor; physical status monitoring units; electronic circuits connected with a main exercise apparatus to detect the dynamic status thereof; a plurality of control buttons; a plurality of parameter setting buttons; a display panel; at least one set of indicating areas disposed on the electronic console, wherein a plurality of light-emitting diodes are provided in the indicating area, the light-emitting diodes in the indicating area varying in color; and a setting/comparing area having a plurality of light-emitting diodes on the electronic console, the light emitting diodes in the setting/comparing varying in color, wherein the microprocessor is configured to control illumination of the light-emitting diodes, the microprocessor being further programmed to control the light-emitting diodes in the setting/comparing to provide a visual comparison with the color of the plurality of light emitting diodes in the indicating area, the light-emitting diodes in the setting/comparing area being selectively variable in color with the color of the light-emitting diodes in the setting/comparing area being selected to correspond to at least one physical trait of an exercising user, wherein a matching of the color of the light-emitting diodes in the setting/comparing area with the color of the light-emitting diodes in the indicating area indicates the achievement of an exercise threshold, wherein the indicating areas substantially surround the control buttons, parameter setting buttons, and display panel so that the plurality of light emitting diodes are positioned to indicate to an observer a physical parameter or a motion power value of the exercising user.
