Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the above-mentioned exercise measurement device and activity meter, since the amount of physical activity performed by the user is displayed in units unfamiliar to ordinary users such as life activity intensity (exercise intensity) or exercise, it is difficult to understand intuitively. Questions about how much exercise you do
In addition, since a week of 23 Ex is recommended as the amount of physical activity for active health, the target value of the amount of activity is fixed at 1 week on an activity meter that displays the amount of physical exercise in units of exercise (Ex). 23Ex, not enough for users who want to challenge higher goals

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the technical idea of ​​the present invention is applied to an activity meter for measuring the amount of physical activity will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] The activity meter of this embodiment has a small structure that can be worn by the user on the waist and used as described later, and includes figure 1 circuit as shown.

[0023] This activity meter includes a three-axis acceleration sensor 1 as a body motion detection mechanism for detecting body motion of a user, an arithmetic processing unit 2 composed of a microcomputer, an A / D conversion unit 3, an input operation unit 4, and a display unit 5. , storage unit 6, and battery power supply unit (not shown).

[0024] The acceleration sensor 1 is, for example, a three-axis acceleration sensor that outputs accelerations of three axes perpendicular to each other in an analog form. As such an acceleration sensor 1 , an acceleration sensor utilizing a small...

Abstract

The present invention provides a body movement measuring device which can intuitively master the movement amount of a user and can easily set a target value of movement speed to an anticipated value. The body movement measuring device is provided with an acceleration sensor (1), an operation processing part (2), an input operation part (4) and a display part (5). A target speed setting function (25) of the operation processing part (2) set a speed which is obtained through multiplexing an average movement speed in common movement with a magnification input by a user through an input operationpart (4). A walking speed operation function (23) of the operation processing part (2) calculates the movement speed through performing integration to the detected value of the acceleration which is inputted from the acceleration sensor (1). A timing function (26) performs timing for the quick walking time which is above the movement speed as the target movement speed. A control function (27) of the operation processing part (2) displays the timing result of the quick walking time and the target moving speed on the display part (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a body activity measuring device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the number of people enjoying walking is increasing due to the prevalence of health trends. It is important for people who walk to maintain a healthy state to know what kind of physical activity their exercise (walking) is. Conventionally, a pedometer is used to measure the number of steps and walking distance. [0003] In addition, recently, there are people who walk for the treatment or prevention of metabolic syndrome. For such users, conventional measures not only measure the number of steps but also measure the amount of physical activity (exercise intensity, etc.) Above the walking device. [0004] In addition, conventionally, an exercise measurement device has been provided that calculates and displays calorie consumption and living activity intensity of exercise based on a detection signal of an acceleration sensor that detects bo...
