ABSTRACT:
A remote controller mechanism for use with a piece of exercise equipment such as an exercise bicycle or apparatus and a remotely controllable electronic device wherein the piece of exercise equipment has an electronic sensor that outputs a train of electronic pulses as a function of the speed at which the piece of exercise equipment is operated and wherein the remotely controllable electronic device has a first and a second operational mode, the remote controller mechanism including an interface mechanism for receiving the train of electronic pulses; a speed determination mechanism coupled to the interface mechanism for receiving the train of electronic pulses and then determining a present speed based upon the train of electronic pulses; a speed selection mechanism for allowing a desired minimum speed to be set by the user; a comparator mechanism coupled to the speed determination mechanism and the speed selection mechanism for comparing the present speed to the minimum speed and then outputing a result of the comparison; and a remote control mechanism coupled to the comparator mechanism for generating a first signal for placing the remotely controllable device in its first operational mode when the present speed is greater than the minimum speed and for generating a second signal for placing the remotely controllable device in its second operational mode when the present speed is less than the minimum speed.
