Embodiment Construction

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the embodiments described below, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals in the drawings, and the description thereof is not repeated.

[0044] In this embodiment, the amount of activity during the unit period is represented by exercise intensity or calories burned, and the active age represents the standard (or average) age of the person who performed the same amount of activity as the total amount of activity during the same period. . Here, although the unit period is one day, it is not limited to one day.

[0045] In addition, the actual age refers to the age calculated from the calendar (age calculated from the time of birth).

[0046] In this embodiment, METs (METs: Medical Evangelism Training & Strategies) are used as an index indicating the intensity of physical activity. METs is a unit that indicates that the intens...

Abstract

The pedometer is equipped with a physical activity amount-acquiring unit (11) that acquires the amount of physical activity of the person being measured, an indicator-acquiring unit (15) that acquires an indicator pertaining to the amount of physical activity, and an indicator-outputting unit (18) that outputs the acquired indicator. The indicator-acquiring unit (15) comprises a physical activity age-acquiring unit (16) for acquiring, using somatic information about the person being measured, the physical activity age, which represents the standard age of people having the same amount of physical activity as the amount of physical activity acquired in a unit period of time. An indicator for achieving a target physical activity age is acquired on the basis of the acquired physical activity amount.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an activity meter for measuring the physical activity of a measured person, in particular to an activity meter that outputs indicators related to the physical activity. Background technique [0002] As an activity meter, a method is disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-204446) and Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-258870), which uses an acceleration sensor to Measures the intensity of physical activity or calories burned. In the activity meter of Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-204446), the standard deviation Sw of the acceleration at a fixed time tw is calculated based on the output signal of the acceleration sensor, and the standard deviation Sw is used based on the standard deviation Sw. Conversion formula to calculate exercise intensity wi. In addition, in the device of Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-258870), ...
