Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, since "exercise" is used as a unit of physical activity in conventional activity meters, it may be difficult for a user who intends to achieve a weight loss of 3 kg in one month to intuitively grasp what to perform. A certain amount of physical activity is enough to achieve the goal

Embodiment approach 1

[0021] The activity meter A1 of this embodiment is as follows figure 1 As shown, it includes an arithmetic processing unit 1 , a body movement detection unit 2 , a storage unit 3 , an operation input accepting unit 4 , a display unit 5 , and a battery (not shown).

[0022] The body motion detection unit 2 includes an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration along each axis direction of the three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system, and outputs a detection signal of the acceleration sensor to the arithmetic processing unit 1 . The storage unit 3 is composed of an electrically rewritable nonvolatile semiconductor memory, and stores various data including the target value of the energy consumption for a predetermined period corresponding to the weight loss target value. The operation input accepting unit 4 includes a plurality of button switches, accepts various operation inputs by pressing and operating the button switches, and outputs an operation signal to the arithm...

Abstract

The present invention provides an activity meter. The aim of the invention is to easily and visually master the physical activity required for target achievement for a user with a body weight reduction purpose. In the invention, an operation processing part (1) compares an accumulated value of the physical activities with a target value of an energy consumption quantity and displays the respective number on a display part (5). Furthermore, in the operation processing part (1), a ratio between the accumulated value of the physical activities and the target value of the energy consumption quantity, namely a target achievement ratio (%), is operated and displayed on the display part (5). Therefore, in the activity meter (A1) according to the embodiment, as the accumulated value of the physical activities is compared with the target value of the energy consumption quantity, and a comparison result is displayed (reported) with the display part (5), the user with the body weight reduction purpose can easily and visually master the physical activity required for target achievement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an activity meter for measuring the amount of physical activity of a user. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, various activity meters that measure the amount of physical activity by detecting a user's body motion using an acceleration sensor have been provided (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Here, according to the "Exercise Guidelines for Active Health 2006 (exercise Guidelines 2006)" reported by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the so-called "physical activity" refers to all activities that consume more energy than a quiet state, and is divided into exercise and life Activity. The so-called "exercise" refers to the planned and intentional activities in physical activities for the purpose of maintaining and improving physical strength, and the so-called "life activities" refers to the activities in the physical activities other than sports, including occupational activities. aspects of...
