Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and breast and colon cancer. The exercise data generated by health and fitness devices (eg, treadmill, exercise bike) are very important for health management service providers to develop personalized training programs. However, at present, there is little research on a unified interoperability framework in the health and fitness domain, and there are not many solutions; besides, the privatized treadmill data transmission scheme is not conducive to data integration and analysis.
This article will expand the IEEE 11073-PHD standard protocol family, develop standards for health and fitness device (using treadmill as an example) based on the latest version of the 11073-20601 optimized exchange protocol, and design protocol standards compliance testing process and inspection software, which can automatically detect whether the instantiated object of the treadmill meets the standard.
The study includes the following steps: (1) Map the data transmitted by the treadmill to the 11073-PHD objects; (2) Construct a programming language structure corresponding to the 11073-PHD application protocol data unit (APDU) to complete the coding and decoding part of the test software; and (3) Transmit the instantiated simulated treadmill data to the gateway test software through transmission control protocol for standard compliance testing.
According to the characteristics of the treadmill, a data exchange framework conforming to 11073-PHD is constructed, and a corresponding testing framework is developed; a treadmill agent simulation is implemented, and the interoperability test is performed. Through the designed testing process, the corresponding testing software was developed to complete the standard compliance testing of the treadmill.
The extended research of IEEE 11073-PHD in the field of health and fitness provides a potential new idea for the data transmission framework of sports equipment such as treadmills, which may also provide some help for the development of sports health equipment interoperability standards.
有证据表明，定期进行体育活动有助于预防和治疗非传染性疾病，如心脏病、中风、糖尿病以及乳腺癌和结肠癌。健康与健身设备（如跑步机、健身自行车）生成的运动数据对于健康管理服务提供商制定个性化训练计划非常重要。然而，目前在健康与健身领域，针对统一的互操作性框架的研究较少，解决方案也不多；此外，跑步机数据传输方案私有化不利于数据整合与分析。
本文将扩展IEEE 11073 - PHD标准协议族，基于最新版本的11073 - 20601优化交换协议制定健康与健身设备（以跑步机为例）标准，并设计协议标准符合性测试流程及检测软件，能够自动检测跑步机的实例化对象是否符合标准。
该研究包括以下步骤：（1）将跑步机传输的数据映射到11073 - PHD对象；（2）构建与11073 - PHD应用协议数据单元（APDU）相对应的编程语言结构，完成测试软件的编解码部分；（3）通过传输控制协议将实例化的模拟跑步机数据传输至网关测试软件进行标准符合性测试。
根据跑步机的特点，构建了符合11073 - PHD的数据交换框架，并开发了相应的测试框架；实现了跑步机代理模拟，并进行了互操作性测试。通过设计的测试流程，开发了相应的测试软件，完成了跑步机的标准符合性测试。
IEEE 11073 - PHD在健康与健身领域的扩展研究为跑步机等运动器材的数据传输框架提供了一个潜在的新思路，也可能为运动健康设备互操作性标准的制定提供一些帮助。
