pedometer

Abstract

Disclosed is a pedometer which is capable of counting different types of pedometric data and which allows a user to stop the count of any type of pedometric data among the aforementioned types of pedometric data. A pedometer is provided with: a counting unit (210) that counts different types of pedometric data; a storage unit (211) that stores the pedometric data counted by the counting unit; a display device (105) that displays the pedometric data stored in the storage unit; and an input device (107) that designates pedometric data for which counting is to be stopped. The user can, at his or her own will, start or stop the counting of any type of pedometric data among the different types of pedometric data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to pedometers. Background technique [0002] The pedometer detects the vertical acceleration of the pedestrian through the acceleration sensor, counts the number of steps (body movement) based on the change of the detected value, and displays the counted number of steps numerically. In recent years, pedometers can not only display the number of steps, but also switch and display multiple information such as calories burned, fat burned, walking distance, and walking time. In addition, not only the number of steps of the current day can be displayed, but also the number of steps in the past few days can be displayed together, or the cumulative number of steps for multiple days can be displayed. [0003] In addition, among the conventional pedometers, there is a pedometer that has a section measurement function different from the normal step count function, and this section measurement function is used when measuring the num...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the above-mentioned existing pedometer, since the counting of the section measurement is always carried out continuously like other measurements, if a note or the like is recorded on the spot when the measurement of a certain section is finished, there is a problem that cannot The problem of accurately knowing the walking data of the section that is continuously measured

[0008] In addition, in the existing pedometers with the above-mentioned section measurement function, since any section that can measure the number of steps or distance is limited to one section, for example, when walking multiple times in the same section, if you do not walk in the same section If you take notes on the spot every time you walk in the section, there is a problem that you cannot know the walking data for each section.

Therefore, for example, when walking multiple laps on a predetermined track, in order to compare the number of steps and elapsed time (lap time) of each lap, it is necessary to take notes and other records on the spot every time you go around the section. There are cumbersome problems

[0009] In addition, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, although the measurement of the number of walking steps in one step can be performed, the measurement cannot be temporarily stopped or restarted during the measurement of the number of walking steps in one step. Therefore, there is a problem that walking and vibration that are not included in the measurement of the steps are counted in one step measurement.

In addition, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, although the step count measurement can be stopped, since the measurement is stopped mechanically, the step count data such as the step count of the day, the cumulative step count, and the step count of the section measurement are performed. In the case of counting, all the measurements are stopped, and there is a problem that it is impossible to stop counting only the step data that the user wants to stop.
