  The control program 9A provides functions related to various controls for operating the smartphone 1. In one example of the embodiment, the control program 9A can provide a function of determining the movement state based on the atmospheric pressure value and the acceleration value. The moving state includes moving and stopping moving.

  In one example of the embodiment, even when the control program 9A obtains a determination result that it is not moving by the determination based on the acceleration value when the value of the atmospheric pressure changed per unit interval is equal to or greater than the threshold value, It is possible to provide a function of determining the movement state by overturning the determination result.

  In one example of the embodiment, the control program 9A has a function of determining the movement state independently of the determination of the movement state based on the acceleration value when the value of the atmospheric pressure changed per unit interval is equal to or greater than the threshold value. Can be provided. The unit interval may be set by time.

In the case where the unit interval is set by the number of detections, for example, one time, two times, five times, ten times, and the like are included, but not limited thereto.

  In one example of the embodiment, the control program 9A continues the state where the value of the atmospheric pressure changed per unit interval is equal to or greater than the threshold and the value of the atmospheric pressure changed per unit interval is equal to or greater than the threshold. In this case, a function for determining the moving means can be provided. The moving means includes a user's foot, a powered vehicle, and an elevator vehicle.

  In one example of the embodiment, the control program 9A is independent of the determination of the moving state based on the acceleration value when the interval required for the accumulated value of the change in the atmospheric pressure to be equal to or greater than the threshold is equal to or less than the threshold. Thus, a function for determining the movement state can be provided. The accumulated value in which the value of the atmospheric pressure has changed may be accumulated as an absolute value or a scalar amount among the values in which the atmospheric pressure has changed. The required interval may be set in time. The required interval may be set by the number of detections in a device that periodically detects values.

  When the atmospheric pressure value satisfies the predetermined condition, the control program 9A may ignore the moving state based on the acceleration value and determine the moving state based on the atmospheric pressure value. When determining the movement state independently of the determination of the movement state based on the acceleration value, the control program 9A may determine the movement state based on the pressure value after referring to the acceleration value.

  The control program 9A described above is based on the knowledge of the inventors that the natural change in the atmospheric pressure is gentler than the change in the atmospheric pressure when the height changes with movement.

You may include the time threshold value used for determination. The atmospheric pressure threshold corresponds to, for example, the amount of change in which the atmospheric pressure value naturally changes. The time threshold corresponds to, for example, an elevator / escalator getting-on / off time. The time threshold may be set based on, for example, the longest ride time on an elevator or escalator. The time threshold may be set based on the deviation value of the getting on / off time. The determination result data 9E includes data on the determination result of the movement state.

  The flow of processing executed by the smartphone 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the smartphone according to one embodiment. The processing shown in FIG. 2 is realized by the controller 10 executing the control program 9A stored in the storage 9.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 10 acquires the measurement result of the acceleration sensor 15 (step S101).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 acquires the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19 (step S102). This step S102 may be executed in parallel with step S101.

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines the movement state based on the measurement result of the acceleration sensor 15 (step S103). This step S103 may be executed in parallel with step S102. This step S103 may be executed before step S102.

  If the controller 10 is not moving as a result of the determination (No at Step S103), the controller 10 temporarily holds the determination result that the movement is stopped as a temporary determination result (Step S104).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether or not the amount of change in the value of the atmospheric pressure that has acted on the smartphone 1 is greater than or equal to the threshold before determining that the movement is stopped based on the value of the atmospheric pressure acquired in step S102. (Step S105).

  As a result of the determination, if the change amount per unit interval of the pressure value acting on the smartphone 1 is equal to or greater than the threshold value (Yes in Step S105), the controller 10 determines the provisional determination result indicating that the movement is stopped in Step S104. Discard it and determine that it is moving (step S106). This step S106 can be omitted.

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether or not the state in which the amount of change in the value of the atmospheric pressure applied to the smartphone 1 is equal to or greater than the threshold has continued for a predetermined time or more (step S107). For example, the controller 10 determines whether an atmospheric pressure change larger than the atmospheric pressure change threshold has occurred for a time longer than a threshold of time set based on an escalator or elevator getting-on / off time, for example.

  As a result of the determination, if the state in which the change amount per unit interval of the pressure value acting on the smartphone 1 is equal to or greater than the threshold value continues for a predetermined time or longer (Yes in step S107), the controller 10 determines that the moving means is the user. And the determination result is stored in the storage 9 as determination result data 9E (step S108).

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination, the controller 10 determines that the change amount per unit interval of the value of the atmospheric pressure acting on the smartphone 1 has not continued for a predetermined time or longer (No in step S107). Is a vehicle for lifting, and the determination result is stored in the storage 9 as determination result data 9E (step S109).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether to continue the process (step S110). As a result of the determination, the controller 10 returns to the processing procedure of step S101 when continuing the process (step S110, Yes). On the other hand, when the process is not continued as a result of the determination (No at Step S110), the controller 10 ends the process shown in FIG.

  In step S105, the controller 10 determines the tentative determination result indicating that the movement is reserved in step S104 when the change amount of the atmospheric pressure applied to the smartphone 1 is not equal to or greater than the threshold value as a result of the determination (No in step S105). Then, the determination result is stored in the storage 9 as determination result data 9E (step S111), and the process proceeds to the determination of step S110.

  In step S103, if the controller 10 is moving as a result of the determination (step S103, Yes), the controller 10 proceeds to the determination of step S110.

  In the process shown in FIG. 2, if the controller 10 is moving as determined in step S <b> 103, the controller 10 may subsequently determine the moving means.

  In the process shown in FIG. 2, when the controller 10 determines that the moving means is a powered vehicle in the determination in step S108, the controller 10 subsequently determines the type of the vehicle based on the measurement result of the geomagnetic sensor 18. You can do it. In an embodiment, the controller 10 may determine whether the type of vehicle is a train based on the measurement result of the geomagnetic sensor 18.

  In the process shown in FIG. 2, if the controller 10 determines that the moving means is a vehicle for raising and lowering based on the determination in step S <b> 109, the controller 10 subsequently determines the type of vehicle based on the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19. You can do it. In an embodiment, the controller 10 may determine whether the type of vehicle is a train based on the measurement result of the acceleration sensor 15.

  As described above, the smartphone 1 determines the movement state by evaluating the vibration of the own device based on the measurement result of the acceleration sensor 15. As in the process shown in FIG. 2, even if the controller 10 determines that the mobile device 1 is not in the moving state based on the measurement result of the acceleration sensor 15, the vibration is small by evaluating the atmospheric pressure acting on the smartphone 1. Can also determine the moving state.

  The smartphone 1 determines, for example, whether it is moving by a train or a car, or moving by an elevator or an escalator, by determining whether a change in atmospheric pressure over a change in atmospheric pressure continues for a predetermined time or more. it can. In general, movement by train or automobile lasts longer than movement by elevator or escalator. The movement type can be determined by evaluating the time during which an atmospheric pressure change equal to or greater than the atmospheric pressure change continues to act on the smartphone 1.

  Regardless of the example of the process illustrated in FIG. 2, the controller 10 may execute the process of determining the moving state and the moving unit by evaluating only the change in the value of the atmospheric pressure acting on the smartphone 1.

  The control program 9A can provide a function of determining that the vehicle is moving by a train or a car when the change in the atmospheric pressure value satisfies a predetermined condition. The control program 9A provides a function of determining whether the atmospheric pressure equal to or higher than the atmospheric pressure continues for a predetermined time as a predetermined condition.

  By executing the control program 9A, the controller 10 realizes a process of determining that the moving means is a user's foot or a powered vehicle when the change in the atmospheric pressure value satisfies a predetermined condition.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 10 acquires the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19 (step S201).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether or not the amount of change in the value of the atmospheric pressure that has acted on the smartphone 1 is greater than or equal to the threshold (step S202).

  As a result of the determination, if the change amount of the atmospheric pressure value acting on the smartphone 1 is equal to or greater than the threshold value (Yes in step S202), the controller 10 determines that the change amount per unit interval of the atmospheric pressure value acting on the smartphone 1 is the threshold value. It is determined whether the above state has continued for a predetermined time or more (step S203).

  As a result of the determination, if the state in which the change amount per unit interval of the atmospheric pressure value acting on the smartphone 1 is equal to or greater than the threshold value has been continued for a predetermined time or longer (step S203, Yes), the controller 10 determines that the moving means is the user. And the determination result is stored in the storage 9 as determination result data 9E (step S204).

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination, the controller 10 determines that the change amount per unit interval of the pressure value applied to the smartphone 1 has not continued for a predetermined time or longer (No in step S203). Is a vehicle for lifting, and the determination result is stored in the storage 9 as determination result data 9E (step S205).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether to continue the process (step S206). As a result of the determination, the controller 10 returns to the processing procedure of step S201 when the process is continued (step S206, Yes). On the other hand, if the controller 10 does not continue the process as a result of the determination (No in step S206), the controller 10 ends the process shown in FIG.

  In step S202, when the controller 10 determines that the change amount per unit interval of the atmospheric pressure value applied to the smartphone 1 is not equal to or greater than the threshold value (No in step S202), the controller 10 proceeds to the determination in step S206.

  The smartphone 1 determines whether or not the atmospheric pressure change equal to or greater than the atmospheric pressure change has continued for a predetermined time or more, so that the moving means is a user's foot or a powered vehicle, or the moving means is an elevating vehicle. Can be determined. For example, when the smartphone 1 directly determines whether the moving means is a user's foot or a powered vehicle, or whether the moving means is a lifting vehicle, only the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 19 is used. Can be processed based on The smartphone 1 having such a configuration can determine the moving state even when the vibration is small.
