[0001] The present invention relates to a predicted goal time display device, a predicted goal time display control method, a program, and a predicted goal time display system. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a portable device has been proposed that accurately measures the distance traveled by a runner while running, and displays the predicted time it will take to reach a preset distance if the runner continues moving at the moving speed at which the preset distance point is reached (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-332414 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Generally, when a runner participates in a marathon race, he or she sets a target time for reaching the finish line and determines in advance how long it will take to run a certain distance in order to achieve that target time (for example, to finish a full marathon of 42.195 km in 4 hours and 00 minutes, the runner will run at a pace of approximately 5 minutes and 41 seconds per kilometer) and then enter the race. However, even if the runner tries to run at this desired pace, there are many cases where the runner can run faster than the desired pace or cannot run at the desired pace due to the weather conditions on the day of the race or the runner's physical condition.However, with the portable device disclosed in Patent Document 1 above, when such a situation occurs, it is not possible to know what the time it will take to reach the finish line if the runner changes to a different pace.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] <Running watch configuration> In the following description, running includes all running movements in which a person moves using his or her own legs, such as walking, jogging, race walking, and the like. The functions of the present invention described below may be implemented as functions of a wristwatch or as applications for a smartwatch. These are collectively referred to as a running watch below. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of a running watch 100 according to an embodiment to which a running indicator display device according to the present invention is applied.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the running watch 100 is in the form of a wristwatch, and includes a main body 1 and a band 2.

[0012] The main body 1 has a circular shape in a plan view, and includes a display unit 15 (described later) on its upper surface. The main body 1 also includes first to third operation buttons 141 to 143 on its right side surface.

[0013] The band 2 is for fastening the main body 1 to the user's wrist.

[0014] Next, the functional configuration of the running watch 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the running watch 100. As shown in FIG.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 1 of the running watch 100 is configured with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12, a memory unit 13, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, a communication unit 16, a timing unit 17, a sensor unit 18, etc., and each unit is connected via a bus 19.

[0016] The CPU (first derivation means, second derivation means, display control means, first acceptance means, second acceptance means, and determination means) 11 is a processor that controls each part of the main body 1. The CPU 11 reads out a program stored in the storage unit 13, expands it in the RAM 12, and executes the program to perform various arithmetic processing.

[0017] The RAM 12 provides a working memory space for the CPU 11 and stores temporary data. The RAM 12 may include a non-volatile memory.

[0018] The storage unit 13 stores various data such as programs executed by the CPU 11 and setting data. The programs are stored in the form of computer-readable program codes in the storage unit 13. As the storage unit 13, for example, a storage device that does not require a power source to hold data, such as a flash memory, is used.

[0019] The operation unit 14 is configured to have a first operation button 141, a second operation button 142, and a third operation button 143 provided on the right side surface of the main body 1, as well as a touch sensor (not shown) provided on the display unit 15, and accepts input operations from the user, converts the operation content into an electrical signal, and outputs it to the CPU 11.

[0020] The display unit 15 is composed of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like, and displays a screen in accordance with a display control signal from the CPU 11. In addition, the above-mentioned touch sensor is provided on the display screen of the display unit 15, and functions as a touch panel type operation display means.

[0021] The communication unit 16 is a communication module having an antenna, a modulation / demodulation circuit, a signal processing circuit, etc., and performs wireless data communication with an external terminal device in accordance with a communication standard related to short-range wireless communication, for example, BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy).

[0022] The timekeeping unit 17 is configured to include, for example, a timer, a timekeeping circuit, etc., and keeps track of the current time and acquires time information.

[0023] The sensor unit 18 includes a motion sensor capable of detecting user's motion information, such as a three-axis acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, and a GPS receiver capable of acquiring user's position information, and outputs the measurement results to the CPU 11. The motion information and position information measured by the sensor unit 18 are referred to as motion data, and the CPU 11 derives various display data including running indicators (hereinafter referred to as running indicators) described below, based on this motion data. Note that the derivation of running indicators based on exercise data is disclosed in, for example, JP 2014-3124448 A, and a description of the method of deriving running indicators will be omitted here.

[0024] <Overview of running watch operation> Next, the operation of the running watch 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of the running indicator display control process. Note that this running indicator display control process is a process that is started when a running app stored in the storage unit 13 of the main body unit 1 is started based on a user operation.

[0025] [Running indicator display control processing] As shown in FIG. 3, when the running indicator display control process is started, the CPU 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a start screen 31 (step S1).

[0026] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the start screen 31. As shown in FIG. On the start screen 31, a start button 311 for instructing the user to start running is displayed in the center of the screen.

[0027] Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a predetermined operation for terminating the running app (for example, a rightward swipe operation on the display unit 15) has been performed (step S2).

[0028] In step S2, if it is determined that a predetermined operation to end the running app has been performed (step S2; YES), the CPU 11 ends the running indicator display control process. When the running indicator display control process ends, the mode transitions to a watch mode in which the current time, etc. are displayed on the display unit 15, for example. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that a predetermined operation to end the running app has not been performed (step S2; NO), the CPU 11 determines whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the start button 311 (step S3).

[0029] In step S3, when it is determined that the start button 311 has not been touched (step S3; NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S2 and repeats the subsequent processes. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the start button 311 has been touched (step S3; YES), the CPU 11 causes the running indicator real-time screen 32 to be displayed on the display unit 15 (step S4).

[0030] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the running indicator real-time screen 32. As shown in FIG. On the running index real-time screen 32, a first display area 321 is provided in the upper part of the screen, a second display area 322 in the middle part of the screen, and a third display area 323 in the lower part of the screen.

[0031] In the first display area 321, the current pace (the pace at which a preset running target distance (e.g., 1 km) is being run) which is a running indicator is displayed in real time. The example in FIG. 5 shows that 1 km is being run at a pace of 3 minutes and 00 seconds. Here, the pace is derived based on position information etc. successively acquired from the GPS receiver of the sensor unit 18.

[0032] In the second display area 322, the pitch and stride, which are running indices, are displayed in real time. In the example of Fig. 5, it is shown that the user's current pitch is 175 (steps / min) and the stride is 1.70 (m). Here, the pitch and stride are derived based on the acceleration data sequentially acquired from the three-axis acceleration sensor of the sensor unit 18, the position information sequentially acquired from the GPS receiver, and the like. In addition, the running indices to be displayed are not limited to pitch and stride, but various other running indices may be displayed, such as stride-to-height ratio, stride-to-height ratio during contact phase, stride-to-height ratio during air phase, contact time, air time, contact time rate, air time rate, up and down movement, left and right movement, braking, propulsion, sinking, sinking time, forward lean angle, horizontal angle, rotation angle (pitch), rotation angle (yaw), rotation angle (low), impulse, etc. Furthermore, the number of running indicators to be displayed is not limited to two, and one or more running indicators may be displayed. Also, the running indicators to be displayed may be selectable based on a user operation.

[0033] The third display area 323 is configured to display the distance traveled from the point where the start button 311 was touched. In the example of Fig. 5, it is shown that 0.73 km has been traveled from the point where the start button 311 was touched. Here, the distance traveled is derived based on position information and the like successively acquired from the GPS receiver of the sensor unit 18.

[0034] Returning to the explanation of the running indicator display control processing, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a pause operation (e.g., a press operation of the first operation button 141 or a so-called long press operation on the display unit 15) has been performed while the running indicator real-time screen 32 is being displayed on the display unit 15 (step S5).

[0035] If it is determined in step S5 that the pause operation has not been performed (step S5; NO), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the previously set lap distance (predetermined distance) has been run (step S6). Here, a lap means a section that is a guide for running, and if, for example, a lap unit of "1 km" and a running target distance of "40 km" are set in advance based on a user operation, the CPU 11 determines that the previously set lap distance has been run when passing each point of 1 km at 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, ..., 40 km.

[0036] In step S6, when it is determined that the preset lap distance has not been traveled (step S6; NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S4 and repeats the subsequent processes. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S6 that the predetermined lap distance has been traveled (step S6; YES), the CPU 11 executes the auto lap screen display control process (step S7), and then returns the process to step S4, and repeats the subsequent processes. The details of the auto lap screen display control process will be described later.

[0037] Furthermore, in step S5, if it is determined that a pause operation has been performed (step S5; YES), the CPU 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a pause screen 33 (step S8).

[0038] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the pause screen 33. As shown in FIG. On the pause screen 33, a resume button 331 for canceling the pause state is displayed on the right side of the screen, and an end button 332 for signaling the end of running is displayed on the left side of the screen.

[0039] The CPU 11 determines whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the resume button 331 while the pause screen 33 is being displayed on the display unit 15 (step S9).

[0040] In step S9, when it is determined that a touch operation has been performed on the resume button 331 (step S9; YES), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S4 and repeats the subsequent processes. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S9 that the restart button 331 has not been touched (step S9; NO), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the end button 332 has been touched (step S10).

[0041] In step S10, when it is determined that the end button 332 has not been touched (step S10; NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S9 and repeats the subsequent processes. On the other hand, in step S10, if it is determined that the end button 332 has been touched (step S10; YES), the CPU 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a summary screen 34 showing the measurement results related to the user's running (step S11).

[0042] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the summary screen 34. As shown in FIG. The summary screen 34 displays data on each item, such as pace, pitch, stride, etc., as measurement results related to the user's running.

[0043] While the summary screen 34 is displayed on the display unit 15, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a predetermined operation (e.g., a swipe operation to the right on the display unit 15) has been performed to transition to the start screen 31 (step S12).

[0044] In step S12, if it is determined that a predetermined operation for transitioning to the start screen 31 has not been performed (step S12; NO), the CPU 11 repeats the process of step S12 until it is determined that this predetermined operation has been performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S12 that a predetermined operation for transitioning to the start screen 31 has been performed (step S12; YES), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S1 and repeats the subsequent processes.

[0045] [Auto lap screen display control processing] Next, the auto lap screen display control process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the detailed control procedure of step S7 of the running index display control process of FIG.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 8, when the auto lap screen display control process is started, the CPU 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the auto lap screen 35 (step S21).

[0047] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the auto lap screen 35. As shown in FIG. The auto lap screen 35 has a first display area 351 in the upper part of the screen, a second display area 352 in the middle part of the screen, and a third display area 353 in the lower part of the screen. In addition, while the above-mentioned running indicator real-time screen 32 has a background displayed in black, for example, the auto lap screen 35 has a background displayed in white, making it easy for the runner to know whether the current display is the running indicator real-time screen 32 or the auto lap screen 35.

[0048] The number of laps and the most recent lap time are displayed in the first display area 351. In the example of Fig. 9, the number of laps is 1, and the most recent lap time is 4 minutes and 6 seconds.

[0049] The average values ​​of pitch and stride in the most recent lap section are displayed in the second display area 352. In the example of Fig. 9, the average value of pitch in the most recent lap section is shown to be 175 (steps / min), and the average value of stride is shown to be 1.70 (m). Here, the pitch and stride are displayed as average values ​​over a lap section because running indicators fluctuate in real time (short time intervals), making it difficult to grasp the current running state. For example, generally, as the running distance increases (as you become fatigued), the stride decreases (reduced) and the time becomes slower, but when viewed in real time (short time intervals), it is difficult to grasp that the stride is gradually decreasing (reduced). In contrast, when viewed as average values ​​over a lap section, it becomes clear that the stride is gradually decreasing (reduced), making it easier to grasp the current running state.

[0050] The time elapsed from the start point to the current lap point, that is, the split time, is displayed in the third display area 353. In the example of Fig. 9, the split time is shown to be 4 minutes and 6 seconds.

[0051] Returning to the explanation of the auto lap screen display control process, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is a signal for screen transition while the auto lap screen 35 is displayed on the display unit 15 (step S22). Specifically, for example, when an upward swipe operation or a tap operation is performed on the display unit 15, or a predetermined time (e.g., 4 seconds) has elapsed since the auto lap screen 35 was displayed on the display unit 15, the CPU 11 determines that there is a signal for screen transition.

[0052] In step S22, when it is determined that there is no cue for a screen transition (step S22; NO), the CPU 11 repeats the process of step S22 until it is determined that there is a cue for a screen transition. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S22 that a signal for screen transition has been given (step S22; YES), the CPU 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a plurality of different pace distribution patterns (hereinafter referred to as pace guide screens) indicating a pace distribution for reaching the finish point within the target time, for example, a predetermined pace guide screen from among the first to fourth pace guide screens 36 to 39, in a preset order (step S23).

[0053] 10(a) to 10(d) are diagrams showing examples of first to fourth pace guide screens 36 to 39, respectively.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 10(a), the first pace guide screen 36 has a first display area 361 at the top of the screen, a second display area 362 at the middle of the screen, and a third display area 363 at the bottom of the screen.

[0055] In the first display area 361, the distance from the start point to a predetermined pass point and the target time at the pass point are displayed. In the example of FIG. 10(a), the distance from the start point to the pass point is 5 km, and the target time at the pass point is 20 minutes and 00 seconds. Here, the predetermined pass point means, for example, a point that is a multiple of 5 km. That is, the first pace guide screen 36 is displayed on the display unit 15 only when the distance of a preset lap is traveled and a point that is a multiple of 5 km (5 km, 10 km, 15 km, ...) is passed. In addition, the distance from the start point to the pass point is derived based on position information and the like sequentially acquired from the GPS receiver of the sensor unit 18. In addition, the target time at the pass point is derived based on the running target distance that is preset based on the user's operation and the target time when the running target distance is traveled.

[0056] The time when the user actually passed the passing point is displayed in the second display area 362. In the example of Fig. 10(a), it is shown that the user passed the 5km point (passing point) in 20 minutes 30 seconds.

[0057] In the third display area 363, the difference between the target time at the passing point and the actual time at the passing point is displayed. In the example of FIG. 10(a), the difference between the target time (20 minutes 00 seconds) and the actual time (20 minutes 30 seconds) at the 5 km point is shown to be +30 seconds. Here, if the actual time is slower than the target time, the character "+" is added to the beginning of the time difference. On the other hand, if the actual time is faster than the target time, the character "-" is added to the beginning of the time difference.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 10(b), the second pace guide screen 37 has a first display area 371 at the top of the screen, a second display area 372 at the middle of the screen, and a third display area 373 at the bottom of the screen.

[0059] The target pace is displayed in the first display area 371. In the example of Fig. 10(b), the target pace is shown to be 4 minutes and 00 seconds. Here, the target pace means a pace (even pace) that achieves a target time when running a running target distance (for example, 1 km) that is preset based on a user operation.

[0060] The user's current pace is displayed in the second display area 372. In the example of Fig. 10(b), the user's current pace is shown to be 4 minutes and 6 seconds. Here, the current pace displayed in the second display area 372 is the average pace of the most recent lap section.

[0061] The third display area 373 is adapted to display the difference between the target pace and the current pace. In the example of FIG. 10(b), the difference between the target pace and the current pace is shown to be +6 seconds. If the current pace is slower than the target pace, the character "+" is added to the beginning of the pace difference. On the other hand, if the current pace is faster than the target pace, the character "-" is added to the beginning of the pace difference.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 10(c), the third pace guide screen 38 has a first display area 381 at the top of the screen, a second display area 382 at the middle of the screen, and a third display area 383 at the bottom of the screen.

[0063] A target time for traveling a target distance that is preset based on a user operation is displayed in the first display area 381. In the example of Fig. 10(c), the target time is displayed as 2 hours 40 minutes 00 seconds.

[0064] The finish time when the user runs the running target distance while maintaining the user's current pace is displayed in the second display area 382. In the example of Fig. 10(c), the finish time is shown to be 2 hours 44 minutes 00 seconds.

[0065] In the third display area 383, the difference between the target time and the finish time is displayed. In the example of FIG. 10(c), the difference between the target time and the finish time is shown to be +4 minutes and 00 seconds. Here, if the finish time is slower than the target time, the character "+" is added to the beginning of the time difference. On the other hand, if the finish time is faster than the target time, the character "-" is added to the beginning of the time difference.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 10(d), the fourth pace guide screen 39 has a first display area 391 at the top of the screen, a second display area 392 at the middle of the screen, and a third display area 393 at the bottom of the screen.

[0067] The first display area 391 is configured to display the finishing time when the current pace is increased by a predetermined time. In the example of FIG. 10(d), it is shown that the finishing time when the current pace is increased by 10 seconds is 2 hours 38 minutes 20 seconds. When a predetermined operation (e.g., a double tap operation) is performed on the first display area 391, a pace increase degree change screen 40 that allows the degree of pace increase to be changed is displayed on the display unit 15. Details of the pace increase degree change screen 40 will be described later.

[0068] The second display area 392 is configured to display the finish time when the user runs the running target distance while maintaining the user's current pace, similar to the third pace guide screen 38. In the example of Fig. 10(d), the finish time is displayed as 2 hours 44 minutes 00 seconds.

[0069] The third display area 393 is configured to display the finishing time when the current pace is slowed down by a predetermined time. In the example of FIG. 10(d), it is shown that the finishing time when the current pace is slowed down by 10 seconds is 2 hours 49 minutes 50 seconds. When a predetermined operation (e.g., a double tap operation) is performed on the third display area 393, a pace down degree change screen 41 that allows the degree of pace down to be changed is displayed on the display unit 15. The details of the pace down degree change screen 41 will be described later.

[0070] Next, the screen transition when predetermined pace guide screens are displayed on the display unit 15 in a preset order in step S23 will be described with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG.

[0071] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the screen transition when the condition for displaying the above-mentioned first pace guide screen 36, i.e., the condition that a preset lap distance has been traveled and a predetermined passing point, for example a point that is a multiple of 5 km, has been passed, is not met.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 11, in such a case, when the running indicator real-time screen 32 is displayed on the display unit 15 and the user runs a preset lap distance (e.g., 1 km), the running indicator real-time screen 32 transitions to an auto lap screen 35.

[0073] Next, in a state where the auto lap screen 35 is displayed on the display unit 15, when there is a signal for screen transition as described above, the auto lap screen 35 transitions to a second pace guide screen 37.

[0074] Next, with the second pace guide screen 37 being displayed on the display unit 15, when the above-mentioned screen transition cue is given, the second pace guide screen 37 transitions to a third pace guide screen .

[0075] Next, with the third pace guide screen 38 being displayed on the display unit 15, when the above-mentioned screen transition cue is given, the third pace guide screen 38 transitions to a fourth pace guide screen 39.

[0076] Next, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed while the fourth pace guide screen 39 is displayed on the display unit 15, the fourth pace guide screen 39 transitions to the running index real-time screen 32. On the other hand, when an upward swipe operation or a tap operation is performed on the display unit 15 while the fourth pace guide screen 39 is displayed on the display unit 15, the auto lap screen 35 is displayed on the display unit 15 again, and then the second pace guide screen 37, the third pace guide screen 38, and the fourth pace guide screen 39 are displayed on the display unit 15 in sequence. Also, when a downward swipe operation is performed on the display unit 15 while any one of the auto lap screen 35, the second pace guide screen 37, the third pace guide screen 38, and the fourth pace guide screen 39 is displayed on the display unit 15, the screen transitions to the running index real-time screen 32.

[0077] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition when the condition for displaying the above-mentioned first pace guide screen 36 is satisfied. As shown in Figure 12, in such a case, similar to the example of Figure 11, when the running indicator real-time screen 32 is displayed on the display unit 15 and the user runs a predetermined lap distance (e.g., 1 km), the running indicator real-time screen 32 transitions to an auto lap screen 35.

[0078] Next, in a state where the auto lap screen 35 is displayed on the display unit 15, when there is a signal for screen transition as described above, the auto lap screen 35 transitions to a first pace guide screen 36.

[0079] Next, when the above-mentioned screen transition cue is given while the first pace guide screen 36 is displayed on the display unit 15, the first pace guide screen 36 transitions to the second pace guide screen 37. Note that the screen transitions thereafter are similar to those in the example of Fig. 11, and therefore will not be described here.

[0080] Returning to the explanation of the auto lap screen display control processing, when the CPU 11 has displayed all of the specified pace guide screens on the display unit 15, while the last pace guide screen (e.g., the fourth pace guide screen 39; see Figures 11 and 12) is displayed on the display unit 15, it determines whether or not there is a signal to re-display (e.g., an upward swipe operation or a tap operation on the display unit 15) (step S24).

[0081] If it is determined in step S24 that a signal to re-display has been given (step S24; YES), the CPU 11 re-displays the auto-lap screen 35 displayed on the display unit 15 in step S21, and then re-displays the specified pace guide screens in the preset order (step S25), and proceeds to the process in step S26. On the other hand, in step S24, if it is determined that there is no cue to re-display (step S24; NO), the CPU 11 skips step S25 and advances the process to step S26.

[0082] Next, the CPU 11 judges whether or not a signal to return to the screen has been given when the display unit 15 is displaying predetermined pace guide screens in a preset order (step S26). Specifically, for example, when the display unit 15 has displayed a set of predetermined pace guide screens, if a predetermined time (e.g., 5 seconds) has elapsed in a state where the last pace guide screen (e.g., the fourth pace guide screen 39; see Figs. 11 and 12) is displayed on the display unit 15, the CPU 11 judges that a signal to return to the screen has been given. Also, if a downward swipe operation is performed on the display unit 15 in a state where any screen of the predetermined pace guide screens is displayed on the display unit 15, the CPU 11 judges that a signal to return to the screen has been given.

[0083] In step S26, if it is determined that there is no signal to restore the screen (step S26; NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S24 and repeats the subsequent processes. On the other hand, in step S26, if it is determined that a signal to return to the screen has been given (step S26; YES), the CPU 11 ends the auto lap screen display control process, and returns the process to step S4 of the running indicator display control process.

[0084] Next, the above-mentioned pace up degree change screen 40 and pace down degree change screen 41 will be described with reference to FIG. 13 and FIG.

[0085] FIG. 13(a) is a diagram showing an example of a pace up-speed change screen 40 before the pace up-speed degree is changed. For example, when a predetermined operation (e.g., a double tap operation) is performed on the first display area 391 while the fourth pace guide screen 39 shown in FIG. 10(d) is displayed on the display unit 15, a pace up degree change screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. 13(a).

[0086] In the pace up degree change screen 40, a pace up degree display area 401 is provided in the left half of the screen, an increment (▲) button 402 is provided in the upper area of ​​the right half of the screen, and a decrement (▼) button 403 is provided in the lower area of ​​the right half of the screen. The increment button 402 is a button for increasing the value of "pace up sec" displayed in the pace up degree display area 401, and this value can be increased to a maximum of, for example, 30 seconds. The decrement button 403 is a button for decreasing the value of "pace up sec" displayed in the pace up degree display area 401, and this value can be decreased to a minimum of, for example, 1 second. In addition, when the pace up degree change screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 15, for example, if a swipe operation is performed in the right direction on the display unit 15, the change in the pace up degree is confirmed, and the fourth pace guide screen 39 reflecting the changed pace up degree is displayed on the display unit 15. Also, when the pace up degree change screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 15, if the increment button 402 or the decrement button 403 is not operated for, for example, five seconds, the change in the pace up degree is confirmed and the fourth pace guide screen 39 reflecting the changed pace up degree is displayed on the display unit 15.

[0087] Specifically, for example, when the user taps the subtraction button 403 four times in succession, the value of "pace up sec" displayed in the pace up degree display area 401 is changed from "10" to "6" as shown in FIG. 13(b), and in this state, when the user swipes right on the display unit 15, the change in the pace up degree is confirmed, and a fourth pace guide screen 39 reflecting the changed pace up degree is displayed on the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. 15(a).

[0088] FIG. 14(a) is a diagram showing an example of a pace downturn degree change screen 41 before the pace downturn degree is changed. For example, when a predetermined operation (e.g., a double tap operation) is performed on the third display area 393 while the fourth pace guide screen 39 shown in FIG. 10(d) is displayed on the display unit 15, a pace down degree change screen 41 is displayed on the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. 14(a).

[0089] In the pace down degree change screen 41, a pace down degree display area 411 is provided in the left half of the screen, an increment (▲) button 412 is provided in the upper area of ​​the right half of the screen, and a decrement (▼) button 413 is provided in the lower area of ​​the right half of the screen. The increment button 412 is a button for increasing the value of "pace down sec" displayed in the pace down degree display area 411, and this value can be increased to a maximum of, for example, 30 seconds. The decrement button 413 is a button for decreasing the value of "pace down sec" displayed in the pace down degree display area 411, and this value can be decreased to a minimum of, for example, 1 second. In addition, when the pace down degree change screen 41 is displayed on the display unit 15, for example, if a swipe operation is performed in the right direction on the display unit 15, the change in the pace down degree is confirmed, and the fourth pace guide screen 39 reflecting the changed pace down degree is displayed on the display unit 15. Furthermore, when the pace down degree change screen 41 is displayed on the display unit 15, even if the increment button 412 or the decrement button 413 is not operated for, for example, five seconds, the change in the pace down degree is confirmed and the fourth pace guide screen 39 reflecting the changed pace down degree is displayed on the display unit 15.

[0090] Specifically, for example, when the user taps the subtraction button 413 six times in succession, the value of "pace down sec" displayed in the pace down degree display area 411 is changed from "10" to "4" as shown in FIG. 14(b), and in this state, when the user swipes right on the display unit 15, the change in the pace down degree is confirmed, and a fourth pace guide screen 39 reflecting the changed pace down degree is displayed on the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. 15(b).

[0091] As described above, the running watch 100 of this embodiment derives the pace when the user runs a preset distance between the start point and the finish point based on the motion data obtained while the user is running, and derives a predicted goal time (finish time) to reach the preset goal point based on the derived pace, as well as a pace-up predicted goal time (finish time) when the goal point is reached at an accelerated pace for a predetermined period of time, and a pace-down predicted goal time (finish time) when the goal point is reached at a slower pace for a predetermined period of time, and displays the derived predicted goal time, pace-up predicted goal time, and pace-down predicted goal time on the display unit 15. Therefore, by displaying the predicted goal time, the pace-up predicted goal time, and the pace-down predicted goal time on the display unit 15, the running watch 100 allows the user, who is a runner, to know what the time it will take to reach the finish line will be even if the user changes his or her pace during the marathon race.

[0092] In addition, when the pace up predicted goal time is displayed on the display unit 15, the running watch 100 accepts an input operation to change the pace when deriving the pace up predicted goal time, and when an input operation to change the pace is accepted, the running watch 100 derives the pace up predicted goal time based on the changed pace and displays the derived changed pace up predicted goal time on the display unit 15. Therefore, the running watch 100 allows the user to know what time it will take to reach the goal point if the user picks up the pace and runs at a pace desired by the user.

[0093] In addition, when the pace down predicted goal time is displayed on the display unit 15, the running watch 100 accepts an input operation to change the pace when deriving the pace down predicted goal time, and when the input operation to change the pace is accepted, the running watch 100 derives the pace down predicted goal time based on the changed pace and displays the derived changed pace down predicted goal time on the display unit 15. Therefore, the running watch 100 allows the user to know what time it will take to reach the goal point if the user slows down his / her running pace to a pace desired by the user.

[0094] In addition, the running watch 100 determines whether the user has run a predetermined distance based on the exercise data obtained while the user is running, and each time it is determined that the user has run the predetermined distance, it derives the pace at which the user ran to the point at which the determination was made. Therefore, according to the running watch 100, each time it is determined that the user has run a predetermined distance, the predicted goal time, the pace-up predicted goal time, and the pace-down predicted goal time can be displayed on the display unit 15. As a result, even if the user changes the pace each time he or she runs a predetermined distance, it becomes possible to know what the time until the finish point will be.

[0095] It should be noted that the description of the above embodiment is merely an example of the predicted goal time display device according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the running indicator display control process (see FIG. 3) in the above embodiment may be performed using a predicted goal time display system according to the present invention. This predicted goal time display system includes the running watch 100 described in the above embodiment and a measurement and recording device (exercise data acquisition device). In the predicted goal time display system, the running watch 100 receives exercise data (exercise data obtained while the user is running) successively transmitted from the measurement and recording device, and derives various pieces of information to be displayed on the running indicator real-time screen 32, summary screen 34, auto lap screen 35, and first to fourth pace guide screens 36 to 39 based on the received exercise data.

[0096] Here, the measurement and recording device is equipped with a sensor unit similar to the sensor unit 18 equipped in the running watch 100, and is capable of sequentially acquiring three-axis acceleration data, position data, and the like obtained from the sensor unit while the user is running. The measurement and recording device is used, for example, by wearing it at the position of the user's waist. When using the predicted goal time display system, first, for example, a communication setting process called pairing is performed in advance between the running watch 100 and the measurement and recording device, so that device information and authentication key data are exchanged between them by wireless signals. This allows the running watch 100 and the measurement and recording device to smoothly perform short-distance wireless communication by BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) without having to perform the communication setting process every time.

[0097] The measurement and recording device may derive various pieces of information to be displayed on the running indicator real-time screen 32, the summary screen 34, the auto-lap screen 35, and the first to fourth pace guide screens 36-39 based on the motion data obtained by the device itself. The measurement and recording device then transmits the derived various pieces of information to the running watch 100, and the running watch 100 receives the various pieces of information transmitted from the measurement and recording device and displays the various pieces of information on the running indicator real-time screen 32, the summary screen 34, the auto-lap screen 35, and the first to fourth pace guide screens 36-39. In such a case, however, it is assumed that the measurement and recording device has also previously acquired information such as the lap unit (lap distance), running target distance, and target time.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the second display area 352 of the auto lap screen 35 is configured to display the average values ​​of pitch and stride in the most recent lap section, but it is not limited to the most recent lap section. For example, the average values ​​of pitch and stride may be displayed from the start point to the user's current position or for the most recent specified distance (e.g., 400 m). Also, the average values ​​of pitch and stride may be displayed for the distance in the most recent lap section where the user is actually running without walking. Also, the average values ​​of pitch and stride may be displayed for the distance in the most recent lap section where the user is running at a specified speed or higher.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the second display area 322 of the running indicator real-time screen 32 is configured to display the running indicators pitch and stride in real time, but it is also possible to, for example, display the pitch when kicking off with the left foot and the pitch when kicking off with the right foot side by side, or the stride when kicking off with the left foot and the stride when kicking off with the right foot side by side.

[0100] 12, the pace guide screens are displayed on the display unit 15 in the order of the first pace guide screen 36, the second pace guide screen 37, the third pace guide screen 38, and the fourth pace guide screen 39. However, for example, the order in which the pace guide screens are displayed on the display unit 15 may be set based on a user operation. Also, the pace guide screens to be displayed on the display unit 15 may be selected based on a user operation, such as only the first pace guide screen 36 and the second pace guide screen 37, or only the first pace guide screen 36 and the third pace guide screen 38, etc.

[0101] In the above embodiment, the second display area 372 of the second pace guide screen 37 displays the user's current pace as the average pace of the most recent lap section, but this is not limiting and may be displayed as the average pace of a most recent predetermined distance (e.g., 400 m). In this case, the predetermined distance may be set based on a user operation. Furthermore, the average pace from the starting point to the current point may be displayed.

[0102] In the above embodiment, the first display area 391 of the fourth pace guide screen 39 displays the finish time when the current pace is increased by a predetermined time, and the third display area 393 displays the finish time when the current pace is decreased by a predetermined time, but for example, the third display area 393 may display a finish time with a different pace increase amount from that in the first display area 391. Specifically, for example, the first display area 391 displays the finish time when the pace is increased by 10 seconds, while the third display area 393 displays the finish time when the pace is increased by 5 seconds.

[0103] In addition, in the above embodiment, in order to prevent erroneous operation by the user, the background color when the pace up degree change screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 15 and the background color when the pace down degree change screen 41 is displayed on the display unit 15 may be made different from each other.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the target difference is displayed in the third display areas 363, 373, 383 of the first to third pace guide screens 36 to 38, but, for example, when the value of this target difference exceeds a preset upper limit value or falls below a preset lower limit value, a beep may be output, the screen of the display unit 15 may be made to flash, or a vibration may be activated.

[0105] In addition, in the above embodiment, the section (time) for calculating various running indicators may be able to be switched based on user operation as to whether it is calculated from a section (time) that includes sections (time) in which the user is walking or standing still, or from a section (time) that excludes sections (time) in which the user is walking or standing still.

[0106] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the running watch 100 is a wristwatch type, but it may be, for example, a smartphone type, and used by being fixed to the user's upper arm with a smartphone armband.
