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

[0019] The activity meter A1 of this embodiment is as figure 1 As shown, it includes an arithmetic processing unit 1 , a body motion detection unit 2 , a storage unit 3 , an operation input receiving unit 4 , a display unit 5 , and a battery not shown.

[0020] The body motion detection unit 2 has an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration along each axis 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 constituted by an electrically rewritable nonvolatile semiconductor memory, and stores various data including a target value of energy consumption within a predetermined period corresponding to a weight loss target value. The operation input accepting unit 4 has a plurality of push button switches, accepts various operation inputs by pressing and operating the push button switches, and outputs an operation signal to the arithmetic processing unit 1 ....

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 have been provided that measure body activity by detecting a user's body movement using an acceleration sensor (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Here, according to the "Exercise Guidelines 2006 for Active Health (Exercise Guidelines 2006)" reported by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the so-called "physical activity" refers to all activities that consume more energy than a resting state, and is divided into exercise and life. Activity. "Exercise" refers to activities that are planned and intentionally carried out among physical activities for the purpose of maintaining and improving physical strength, and "living activities" refers to activities other than sports among physical activities, including occupational activities. aspects of activities. In additi...
