Indoor Cycling, Completed with Smart Sensors: Bridging Exercise Habits with Content Consumption Habits
Why do so many people give up on exercise after just a few days? It’s common to sign up for a gym, go a few times, and then use an expensive indoor bike as a clothes rack. The reason is that exercise itself is often boring and uninteresting. However, we consistently consume content by reading webtoons, checking the news, exploring social media, and browsing blogs every day. So, what if we could connect these two habits, exercise and content consumption? There is a way to make exercise sustainable by attaching a smartphone sensor to an indoor bike.
Is the Indoor Bike an Incomplete Product?
The indoor bike is an excellent cardio exercise device, but it can be considered an ‘incomplete product’ on its own. Simply displaying workout time, distance, and calories burned on a dashboard does not maintain ongoing motivation for exercise. Staring at a plain dashboard while pedaling quickly becomes tedious, ultimately leading to the bike being neglected. The dashboard of an indoor bike only provides basic activity measurement, not motivation or fun.
Content Connection is Key: The Emergence of the Scroll Sensor
The last puzzle piece for indoor bikes is ‘content’. What if you could watch your favorite webtoons, read interesting news, shop, or enjoy social media while exercising? The exercise would no longer be a boring chore but a pleasant activity. The ‘scroll sensor’ turns this idea into reality. By attaching a smartphone sensor to the pedals of an indoor bike, the smartphone screen scrolls according to your pedaling speed. This creates an experience similar to flipping through a webtoon with your feet, helping you immerse in the exercise.
Smart Aids for Exercise Immersion: Sensors are Essential
The scroll sensor transforms an indoor bike from a mere ‘exercise device’ to a ‘smart exercise device’. It goes beyond showing exercise data on a dashboard by combining workouts with content consumption to enhance sustainability. Adding a sensor to an indoor bike is as essential as adding noodles to a stew. An indoor bike without a sensor is like a bun without filling.
Indoor Bike Neglect Reasons → Lack of Content: Sensors as the Solution
The main reason indoor bikes are neglected is the ‘lack of content’. It is painful to forcefully engage in boring exercises. If you can enjoy your favorite contents while exercising with a scroll sensor, working out will no longer be a chore. The sensor changes exercise into content, providing a positive experience with workouts.
The Evolution of Indoor Bikes, Completed with Sensors: Beyond the Limitations of the Dashboard
Indoor bikes are evolving with the addition of sensors, providing fun and motivation that a dashboard alone could not offer, thereby enhancing the sustainability of exercise. Sensors are the last puzzle piece of indoor bikes, completing them as essential components.
App’n’Bike DAYACTION: Pedal Scroll Patented Technology
App’n’Bike’s DAYACTION is a product developed based on the pedal scroll idea. It is designed to allow users to view web content on their smartphone while simultaneously engaging in cardio and lower body workouts by scrolling with the pedals. Developed through three years of R&D at Tespie’s Technology Research Lab, it is the first in the world to receive a patent.
This technology allows smartphone content to scroll in synchronization with the user’s pedal movements. It is applied with the optimal speed and acceleration for various age groups in the app.
Features of DAYACTION Products
DAYACTION is comprised of indoor bikes, the DAYACTION app, IT technology such as crowd servers, and provides daily, weekly, and monthly data on workout time, distance, calorie consumption, and average pedal revolutions (cadence).
The core technology, Pedal Scroll, features patented technology linked to rotational speed. It offers URL recognition per web content and integrates pedaling speed and scrolling.
Additionally, it includes various capabilities such as external data transmission and reception for scales, body composition, heart rate, exercise execution, body change and achievement data generation and analysis, and briefing functions.
World’s First Technology Patent Acquired
App’n’Bike acquired the world’s first technology patent for “non-powered treadmills that control the scrolling of web content by cadence speed movement with the feet and the methods thereof” (Patent Registration No. 10-2501280).
The Pedal Scroll patent technology categorizes smartphone web content attributes into text and images and controls these attributes’ information and user cadence speed and weight to enable simultaneous cardio and lower body exercise while viewing or reading web content.
Conclusion: Apply Smartphone Sensors to Indoor Bikes!
Indoor bikes are no longer dull exercise devices. By attaching smartphone sensors to combine workouts with content consumption, exercise can become an enjoyable activity. Experience the value of DAYACTION’s scroll sensor, connecting the habits of “exercise lasts only three days, content is watched daily”.
Add a smartphone sensor to your indoor bike pedals and enjoy the pleasure of exercising!
Even after registering for a gym, people often stop going in a few days, and indoor bikes quickly become clothes hangers. The repeated pattern of starting exercise determinedly for a few days isn’t simply due to a ‘lack of willpower’. This is due to the indoor bike being an isolated ‘incomplete product’ without connection to content.
However, if pedaling turns into scrolling, the story changes completely. As soon as you attach a smartphone sensor to the pedal, a webtoon you love, browsing social media, or shopping suddenly becomes the reason for your workout. The desire to scroll becomes your motivation to pedal. Experience it for yourself and see how this new routine of exploring content on an indoor bike changes your exercise time.
If you’ve bought an indoor bike, ensure your content comes from DAYACTION, with a dedicated indoor bike exercise app, App’n’Bike with pedal scroll.
