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

In addition, the embodiments described below are ideals of the present invention. In the following description, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described ambiguous state unless otherwise specified.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing an exercise amount measuring device according to the present invention, for example, an activity measuring device 10 and a terminal device, for example, a physician's end 100 and a subject end 200, for example, an activity measuring system 1.

The activity meter 10 shown in Fig. 1 is a device for measuring the amount of physical activity (the amount of exercise) of a human body. The person who wishes to measure has the device, and can move together with the physical activity of the subject person to measure the amount of exercise.

Specifically, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis acceleration sensors therein have acceleration information detected from the acceleration sensors (ie, 3-axis acceleration sensors), such as X-axis acceleration data and Y-axis acceleration data. The Z-axis acceleration data detects the average 3-axis acceleration data, and the acceleration data measures the amount of motion.

In addition, it has been considered that walking is good for health, and it is pushed to 10,000 steps on the 1st. However, in recent years, it has been emphasized that "the medium-intensity activities of the prescribed time or more are completed every day". This "medium-intensity" activity is a quick walk, etc., but it is difficult to grasp the amount of exercise.

Therefore, in recent years, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has participated in the establishment of the "metabolism equivalent (METs)" exercise amount (physical activity) standard, and the metabolic equivalent can be used to objectively measure the amount of exercise.

This "metabolism equivalent" is an example of "information level information". The metabolic equivalent is classified from 0.9 metabolic equivalent to 15 metabolic equivalent, "0.9 metabolic equivalent" is the amount of exercise during sleep, and "1.0 metabolic equivalent" is listening to music, watching movies, etc. The amount of exercise at the time, "2.0 metabolic equivalent" is the exercise amount at the time of cooking, "3.0 metabolic equivalent" is the exercise amount at the time of car washing, and "4.0 metabolic equivalent" is the above-mentioned "medium strength" based on the metabolic equivalent standard when the yard is cleaned. The activity is different depending on the gender and age of the target person (the user of the activity meter 10). For example, in the case of "3 metabolic equivalents", the target person continues the "car wash" "20 minutes" exercise amount. Momentum, "5.0 metabolic equivalent" is the amount of exercise when playing with children.

The above-mentioned "medium-intensity activity" based on the metabolic equivalent standard varies depending on the gender and age of the target person (user of the activity meter 10). For example, in the case of "3 metabolic equivalents", the subject continues. The amount of exercise for "car wash" "20 minutes".

However, the movement or activity of a person does not necessarily proceed with the exercise or the like shown in the metabolic equivalent reference. In addition, the "medium-intensity exercise" is a concept that differs depending on the gender and age of the subject. Therefore, the number of metabolic equivalents corresponding to the "medium-intensity exercise" varies depending on the gender and age of the subject.

For example, as described later, if "male" is "less than 45", the "medium intensity metabolic equivalent" is "5-7 metabolic equivalents", but the same is "male" if "65" or more and BMI is "25 or more", it is "2~5 generations" "Xie equivalent", which is less than the former "under 45", is also a "medium-intensity exercise".

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the motion of the subject who has the activity meter 10 is determined to be within the range of the metabolic equivalent of the "medium intensity activity" defined by the attribute, and is displayed.

Thereby, the person holding the activity meter 10 can easily judge whether or not his or her exercise is an ideal amount of exercise that contributes to the improvement of the lifestyle-related disease.

Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the activity meter 10 of Fig. 1. The main configuration and the like of the activity meter 10 shown in Fig. 2 will be described below.

As shown in Fig. 2, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment has a display portion formed of a substantially circular LED or the like at a central portion thereof, for example, an activity meter end display 11.

As shown in FIG. 2, the activity meter end display 11 has a time display 12 for displaying time data, and a display 13 for displaying metabolic equivalents such as the above-described metabolic equivalent data every two minutes of the measurement target person (hereinafter referred to as "target person"). .

The display 13 such as the metabolic equivalent may display the "Long live symbol" or the "OK symbol" by the character character in addition to the metabolic equivalent data.

In addition, the activity meter end display 11 also has a flame display 14 that is displayed when the "medium intensity" metabolic equivalent motion is achieved.

In addition, the activity meter end display 11 also has a display for matching The achievement degree information display unit that achieves the degree of achievement of the target such as the intensity activity time in the arc shape, for example, the achievement scale 15. This achievement scale 15 displays the progress until the achievement of the goal, etc., by means of lighting or the like. The details of these details will be described later.

Further, the activity meter 1 of Fig. 2 is provided with a setting change button 16 and a memory awakening button 17 on the outside thereof.

The activity meter 10 of the present embodiment has a communication device such as a non-contact type IC (Integrated Circuit) card 18 as shown in Fig. 1 . In addition, the physician or the like who is the subject of the activity meter 10 or the doctor or the like, or the person who is using the target of the non-contact type IC card 18 is disposed on the target end 200 of the target person. The terminal reader/writer 103 and the terminal end reader/writer 203.

When the non-contact type IC card 18 of the activity meter 10 is brought close to the medical end reader/writer 103 or the target end reader/writer 203, charges are transmitted from the doctor terminal reader/writer 103 or the like, and the non-contact type IC card is electromagnetically induced. 18 supplies power, which can be communicated with each other by the modulation of charge.

Such data communication system is, for example, a short-range non-contact communication method within a range of ~10 cm (for example, ISO/IEC 14443 energy-saving IC communication technology, ISO/IEC 18092 communication technology, Felica (Sony's registered trademark) communication technology) Specifically, it is possible to communicate with an RFID reader/writer 103 that is connected to a dedicated terminal (such as a physician terminal 100 or the like) used by a doctor or the like in a hospital, etc. The Felica communication technology is 13.56MHz radio waves are used for communication, and 100~400kbps communication can be performed in a non-contact manner at a very close distance of about 10cm.

Therefore, as will be described later, in addition to transmitting the data in the activity meter 10 to the physician terminal 100 and the subject end 200, information can be transmitted from the physician terminal 100 or the like to the activity meter 10.

Further, as shown in Fig. 1, the physician terminal 100 has a physician terminal display 101 capable of displaying various kinds of information and a physician terminal input device 102 for inputting various kinds of information, and the target terminal 200 also has the target terminal end display 201 and the target end input. Device 202.

The activity meter 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a computer at the end of the doctor 100 and the target end 200, and the computer includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. These are connected by bus bars.

Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the main configuration of the activity meter 10 of Fig. 1.

As shown in Fig. 3, the activity meter 10 has an "activity meter control unit 19". The activity meter control unit 19 controls the "timer device 20" that generates time information and the like, the "step counter device 21" that calculates the number of steps of the target person, and the acceleration information detecting portion that generates the average acceleration data of the target person's motion, for example. "Average acceleration data generating device 22".

As shown in FIG. 3, the average acceleration data generating device 22 includes "X-axis acceleration sensor 22a", "Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b", and "Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c", thereby generating three-axis acceleration data. "Average acceleration data (m/s ² )".

Further, the average acceleration data generating device 22 may be a so-called three-axis acceleration sensor integrated with the X-axis acceleration sensor 22a, the Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b, and the Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the activity meter control unit 19 controls the activity amount terminal display 11 shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the time display 12, the metabolic equivalent, and the like display 13, the flame display 14, and the achievement scale 15 in Fig. 3 are also controlled by the activity meter control unit 19.

Further, the activity meter control unit 19 controls the first and third figures in addition to the function buttons "setting change button 16" and "memory evoke button 17" shown in FIGS. 2 and 3; "Non-contact type IC card 18".

Further, the activity amount control unit 19 also controls the "already meter 23" that measures the height information of the activity meter 10, and, for example, the type of the motion that determines the amount of motion measured by the activity meter 10, and the specific type of instruction that can be automatically switched. For example, "operation mode switching device 24". Alternatively, instead of the "operation mode switching device 24", the "setting change button 16" of the function button may be used to manually select the walking mode, the bicycle mode, the climbing mode, and the swimming mode. At this time, it is not necessary to make the activity meter 10 as a liquid-tight structure as a whole in the swimming mode.

Such sports types are, for example, hiking, cycling, mountain climbing, swimming, and the specific sports are hiking mode, bicycle mode, and mountain climbing mode. And swimming mode, etc.

In other words, the method of grasping the ideal amount of exercise differs depending on the difference in the movements such as hiking, bicycle, mountain climbing, or swimming. Therefore, the activity meter 10 includes the "operation mode switching device 24" to receive notification from the outside, and what kind of exercise is currently being implemented. .

In addition, the "altimeter 23" is used in the mountain climbing mode as will be described later.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the activity meter control unit 19 also controls the "first various information storage unit 30", the "second various information storage unit 50", the "third various information storage unit 70", and the 4 various information storage units 80", "5th various information storage unit 90", "6th various information storage unit 300", and "7th various information storage unit 310".

Each of FIGS. 4 to 10 shows "first various information storage unit 30", "second various information storage unit 50", "third various information storage unit 70", "fourth various information storage unit 80", and A schematic block diagram of the configuration of the fifth information storage unit 90, the sixth information storage unit 300, and the seventh various information storage unit 310 will be described later.

11 to 20 are schematic flowcharts showing main operations and the like of the related activity meter 10 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the activity meter 10 and the like will be described in accordance with the flowcharts of Figs. 11 to 20, and the configurations of Fig. 1 and Fig. 10 and the like will be described.

First, I want to measure my own amount of exercise and activity, etc. (below The target person who is referred to as "the amount of exercise" carries the activity meter 10 as shown in Fig. 1, and the power of the activity meter 10 is turned on, and the activity meter 1 is operated.

In the present embodiment, the activity meter 10 automatically sets the "medium strength METs" of the amount of exercise suitable for the target person based on the attributes such as the gender and age of the target person using the activity amount meter 10. Therefore, the activity meter 10 must be input before use. Specific information.

Specifically, in the step ST (hereinafter referred to as "ST".) 1 of Fig. 11, "the date when input", "the age of the subject (歳)", "the weight of the subject (kg)", "The height of the target person (m)", "the gender of the target person (male, female)", and the target step number information, for example, "the target number of steps of the target person (step)".

Specifically, the target person or the like operates the setting change button 16 of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 to input each piece of data, and the input data is stored in the "first various input information storage unit 30" of FIG. The subject is input into the information storage unit 31".

In ST1, after the input of each material is completed, the process proceeds to ST2. In ST2, the BMI (Body Mass Index) information of the subject person is generated from the height (m) and the body weight (kg) data of the subject person, and is stored in the "target person BMI information memory unit 32" in Fig. 4 "."

This BMI information is an index that measures "obesity". In the present embodiment, when the most appropriate "medium strength METs" range of the target person is determined, the BMI information is used as a parameter, and thus it is obtained in ST2.

Specifically, the "target BMI information generation processing unit (program) 71" of the "third variety information storage unit 70" in Fig. 6 is activated, and the "target person input information storage unit 31" in Fig. 4 is activated. The target height (m) and weight (kg) data are substituted into the BMI information formula "weight (kg) / height (m) x height (m)", and the calculation is performed.

Then go to ST3. ST3 sets the "Medium Strength METs Range" for this user.

Specifically, the information generating processing unit (program 72) such as the target gender in the METs range is activated, and the "target gender information" is obtained from the "target input information storage unit 31" in Fig. 4 and "Target person age information", and "target person BMI information" is obtained from "target person BMI information memory unit 32". Next, the "information memory unit 33 such as the gender medium strength METs range" in Fig. 4 will be referred to.

Fig. 21 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing "information memory 33 such as the gender medium intensity METs range" which is previously stored in the "information memory unit 33 such as the gender medium METs range" in Fig. 4.

As shown in Figure 21, "Sexual Medium Strength METs Range and Other Information 33a" is first and foremost different for men and women (Figure 21 for "Men"). The scope of this MET is based on age and BMI information.

The metabolic equivalent of "medium intensity" is an example of the degree of target exercise amount that the subject should aim at the amount of exercise.

The "medium strength" range has also set "low intensity" and "High intensity" range. The "low intensity" range is a range in which the amount of exercise is small for the subject, and the "high intensity" range is when the amount of exercise is too large.

For example, the appropriate amount of exercise should not be too much or too little. It is important to maintain the movement within the "medium strength" METs.

In addition, the 21st picture is divided into various ages, BMIs, etc., and the "medium-intensity" METs range defined by this distinction is an example of the information on the degree of activity of the target.

Therefore, in ST3, the "information generation processing unit (program) 72 such as the target gender level METs range" is based on the "target person gender information", "target person age information", and "target person BMI information" obtained as described above. The "Medium-strength METs range information" of the target person is determined by referring to the "Sex-Medium METs range information 33a" (an example of the attribute-specific target movement amount information).

For example, when the target person's age is "65 歳 or more" and "BMI is less than 25", the "target gender intermediate METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4 is stored in Fig. 21 "sex medium METs range, etc." "3~6METs" in the "Medium Strength METs" section of Information 33a".

Next, proceed to ST4. In ST4, based on the target step number information input by the subject in ST1, the "medium strength METs" range exercise amount execution time of the target person is determined.

Specifically, in the "target person medium strength METs time information specific processing unit (program) 73" in Fig. 6, the "target person" in Fig. 4 is acquired. The "target step number" data of the information memory unit 31" is input, for example, the data of 8000 steps, and the "step number corresponding medium intensity METs range time information memory unit 35" of Fig. 4 is referred to.

In the "number of steps corresponding to the medium intensity METs range time information memory unit 35", the exercise time information (for example, 20 minutes) of the "medium intensity METs" corresponding to the step number information (8000 steps) is stored.

Therefore, the "target person medium strength METs time information specific processing unit (program) 73" refers to the "step number corresponding medium strength METs range time information memory unit 35", and acquires the "target step number" data (8000 steps) corresponding to the acquisition. The exercise time information (an example of the number of steps corresponding to the medium intensity METs range time information and the target exercise amount execution time information) (20 minutes) is described in the "target person medium strength METs time information memory unit 36" in Fig. 4 .

The preparation of the above object before using the activity meter 10 is completed. That is, the "medium-strength METs" range of the subject is "3~6 METs", which is stored in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4, and corresponds to the step information (8000 steps). The "medium-strength METs" exercise time information (for example, 20 minutes) is stored in the "step-number-corresponding medium-strength METs range time information memory unit 35".

Then, the subject starts moving and enters ST5. In ST5, the motion type specifying unit, for example, the "speed information determination processing unit (program) 92" of the "5th various information storage unit 90" in Fig. 8 is activated, and the "average acceleration data generating device 22" in Fig. 3 or the like is referred to. "X-axis acceleration sensor" 22a", "Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b", "Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c" data, and "speed determination information storage unit 93" in Fig. 8.

In the "speed determination information storage unit 93", the activity meter 10 is stored to calculate the specific speed data of the bicycle walking.

Therefore, the "speed information determination processing unit (program) 92" obtains "speed data" and "speed" from the "X-axis acceleration sensor 22a", the "Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b", and the "Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c". When the speed data is compared with the speed data of the determination information storage unit 93", it can be determined that the subject who holds the activity meter 10 starts the bicycle exercise different from the exercise form of the walking.

For example, the "speed determination information" is an example of the characteristic element information of the sport type.

In other words, when it is judged that the subject person holding the activity meter 10 starts the bicycle exercise, the exercise amount measurement or the like is performed in the bicycle mode as shown in Fig. 11 .

The "bike mode processing" will be described later.

On the other hand, when it is judged in ST5 that the subject who holds the activity meter 10 starts the bicycle exercise, the process proceeds to ST6.

In ST6, the motion type specifying unit, for example, the "height information determining processing unit (program) 94" of the "5th various information memory unit 90" in Fig. 8 is activated, and the height information of the altimeter 23 in Fig. 3 is referred to, and the third item is referred to. Time information of the timing device 20 of the figure and "reference information storage unit for height judgment" in Fig. 8 "Basic Information for Height Judgment" in 95".

The "Basic Information for Height Judgment" here includes the height reference information "height reference information" and the height information "height change reference information" based on the "height reference information", and the "height change" Base time information generated by "Base Information" "High Change Judgment Time Information".

In other words, for example, the height of the person who is carrying the activity meter 10 is "height reference information", and then, in the "height change determination time information" of the specific time, the height is raised, that is, the "height change reference information" In the case of the part, the subject is judged to be climbing.

Therefore, in the ST6, the "height information determination processing unit (program) 94" refers to the altimeter 23, the timer device 20, and the "height determination reference information storage unit 95", and the "height change determination time information" and the "height reference". In comparison with the information, it is judged whether or not there is a rise in information exceeding a certain height of the "height change reference information", that is, whether it is climbing.

Therefore, "high information" is an example of information on the characteristics of the sports category.

On the other hand, in ST6, it is judged that the person who carries the activity meter 10 starts mountain climbing different from the form of walking, and then, as shown in Fig. 11, the exercise amount measurement and the like are performed in the mountain climbing mode.

Whether the amount of exercise measured by the activity meter 10 is an ideal amount of exercise varies depending on the type of exercise, so to correctly grasp the ideal amount of exercise, The type of sport must be specified.

In this regard, in the present embodiment, the activity meter 10 can automatically determine the type of exercise from the movement of the subject at least with respect to the "bicycle" exercise and the "mountain" exercise. Therefore, the type of exercise can be specified by a simple method.

On the other hand, in ST6, when the activity meter 10 judges that the subject person is not climbing, it proceeds to ST7. In the ST7, the motion type specifying unit, for example, the "operation mode switching device 24" in Fig. 3 determines whether or not the operation is performed by the target person.

That is, it is determined whether the subject has selected his or her own sport as one of "biking", "mountain climbing" or "swimming".

When the target person operates the "operation mode switching device 24" and specifies one of "bike", "mountain climbing" or "swimming", the exercise amount measurement in "bike mode", "mountain mode" or "swimming mode" is started. Wait for processing.

On the other hand, if one of the "operation mode switching device 24" and the "bike", "mountain climbing" or "swimming" is not operated in ST7, as shown in Fig. 12, the amount of exercise is performed in the "walking" mode. The measurement and the like.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the specific type of the exercise type is implemented by the "operation mode switching device 24" input by the subject, the type of exercise can be surely determined.

The above-mentioned "walking mode processing", "bicycle mode", "mountain mode" and "swimming mode" will be described below.

First, "walking mode processing" will be described based on Fig. 13 to Fig. 17 and the like.

First, in ST11, it is determined whether or not the "average acceleration data generating means 22" of Fig. 3 acquires acceleration (movement amount) data (m/s ² ). That is, whether the subject person carries the activity meter 10 and starts walking and the like.

When it is determined in ST11 that the subject person has started walking or the like, the process proceeds to ST12. In ST12, the "counting device 21" of Fig. 3 is activated, and the number of steps of the target person is calculated based on the data of the "average acceleration data generating device 22", and the "timer device 20" is referred to, and the time information is accumulated at the same time. The step number information is stored in the "cumulative step number information storage unit 42" in Fig. 4 as "time-related cumulative step number information".

Therefore, the activity meter 10 can obtain the step information accumulated with the time information.

On the other hand, when it is determined in ST11 that the target person has started walking or the like, the process proceeds to ST13. In ST13, referring to "timer device 20", it is determined whether or not a specific time has elapsed, for example, 2 minutes.

This is because, as will be described later, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment displays the exercise amount standard METs on the display 13 such as the metabolic equivalent in the second and third figures for a specific time, for example, two minutes.

In ST13, ST14 is entered after 2 minutes. In ST14, The "METs information generation processing unit (program) 74 every 2 minutes" is activated in Fig. 6. Next, the "acceleration-corresponding METs value memory unit 37" in Fig. 4, which stores information on the METs value (for example, 1 METs to 8 METs) of the acceleration value corresponding to the "average acceleration data generating device 22", refers to the "average acceleration data generating device 22". The METs value of the average of the acceleration data for 2 minutes.

Then, the specific METs value is associated with the time information of the "timer device 20", and is stored in the "METs value information memory unit 38 every 2 minutes".

Next, go to ST15. In ST15, the METs value (1 to 8) stored in the "METs value information memory unit 38 every 2 minutes" is displayed on the "display 13 such as the metabolic equivalent" in Fig. 2 and the like.

Specifically, the display 13 such as the metabolic equivalent of Fig. 2 is displayed in the number of squares. As shown in Fig. 2, when the number of squares is 1, it is 1 METs, and when it is 8, it is 8 METs.

Next, proceed to ST16. In ST16, the "medium-strength METs range determination processing unit (program) 75" in Fig. 6 is activated, and the "medium-strength METs range" in the "target gender-intensity METs range information storage unit 34" in Fig. 4 is referred to, for example, 3METs~6METs, it is judged whether or not the METs value every 2 minutes (every specific time) in the METs value information memory unit 38 every 2 minutes (every specific time) is within the medium intensity METs range.

In ST16, when it is judged that the METs value every two minutes in the "METs value information memory unit 38 every two minutes" is within the range of the medium intensity METs, the process proceeds to ST17. In ST17, the "Medium Strength METs Range Determination Processing Unit (Program) 75" of Fig. 6 is also activated, and the "Timer Device 20" is referred to, and "2" is shown in the "Medium Strength METs Accumulation Time Memory Unit 39" in Fig. 4 Time information for minutes (specific time).

Thereby, the activity meter 10 can acquire the accumulation time of the "medium-strength METs value" exercise for which the amount of exercise is appropriate for the subject person.

Further, in ST17, the amount of exercise for 2 minutes is within the range of "medium strength METs", and the "flame display 14" of FIGS. 2 and 3 is turned on in order to inform the subject or the like of the fact.

In this way, the target person can know that he has exercised properly and becomes a pointer to the subsequent movement.

Next, go to ST18. In ST18, the "consumption calorie value calculation processing unit (program) 76" of Fig. 6 is activated, and the METs value and its time information (for example, 2 minutes) in the "METs value information memory unit 38 every 2 minutes" in Fig. 4 are acquired. At the same time, the "body weight (kg) information of the subject in the "target input information memory unit 31" is obtained.

In addition, the processing unit (program) 76 refers to the "consumption calorie memory unit 40" of Fig. 4, and acquires the calorie consumption type (consumption calorie = METs value × exercise time x body weight (kg) × 1.05), and the above obtained The information is substituted into this formula to calculate the "consumption calorific value".

The "consumption calorific value" obtained by this calculation is stored in the "cumulative calorie value storage unit 41" in Fig. 4 together with the time information.

Therefore, the activity meter 10 can obtain the calorie value and accumulated information for each period of time.

For example, in the present embodiment, the activity meter 10 can obtain an important indicator of the movement of the subject, and consumes calorie information.

In addition, the target person can refer to the post-event reference, etc., and can grasp the important index for evaluating the amount of exercise, "consumption calorie information."

Next, go to ST19. In ST19, "achievement scale display information" displayed on the achievement scales 15 of Figs. 2 and 3 is generated.

In other words, the "Achievement Scale Display Information Generation Display Processing Unit (Program) 81" in Fig. 7 is activated, and the following information is obtained.

1) "cumulative step number information" of "cumulative step number information memory unit 42" in Fig. 4 and "target step number (for example, 8000 steps)" of "target person input information memory unit 31".

2) "Medium-intensity METs accumulation time" in the "Medium-strength METs accumulation time memory unit 39" in Fig. 4 and "In-person strength METs time information storage unit 36" in the "Target person medium-strength METs time information (for example, 20 minutes) Based on the information of 1) and 2), the "Achievement Scale Display Information" displayed on the achievement scale 15 is generated.

In the above 1), the "cumulative step number information" and the "target step number (for example, 8000 steps)" such as the actual walking of the subject are compared, and the degree of achievement of the target number of steps can be grasped.

In addition, in the above 2), compare the actual ongoing strength METs The "time METs accumulation time" of the exercise time and the "intensity METs time information (for example, 20 minutes)" of the target person can grasp the degree of achievement of the target time of the medium-strength METs exercise of the target person.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, the number of steps of 8000 and the medium-strength METs are 20 points (100%), and 10% of the steps are 800 steps and the medium-strength METs are moved for 2 minutes.

That is, when the number of steps and the medium-strength METs exercise time reach 10%, only 10% of the achievement scale 15 is turned on, and the "achievement scale display information" indicating the degree of achievement is generated, which is displayed on the achievement scale 15 .

This "achievement scale display information" is an example of the degree of achievement of the target exercise amount.

As shown in Fig. 2, the achievement scale 15 has an arc shape as a whole, and the arcuate portion is turned on in accordance with the degree of achievement.

Therefore, in the above example, when both the number of steps and the medium-strength METs exercise time reach 10% of the target, the achievement scale 15 corresponds to the overall 10% portion (for example, 10% from the left end portion of FIG. 2).

In addition, when the target person achieves the target step number and the target medium METs exercise time, the achievement scale 15 as a whole will be illuminated, indicating 100% achievement.

In the present embodiment, the achievement of 100% of the target is "achievement", but it is also possible to achieve a target of 50% or the like.

Such as the above, when the achievement scale 15 shows its degree of achievement, The medium-strength METs exercise time will also take into account the number of steps. Therefore, if the number of steps and the medium-strength METs exercise time reach the target, but the number of steps does not reach the target state, it is not considered to be achieved.

Therefore, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment can evaluate the exercise state of the subject with extremely excellent accuracy because the "step number information" important for the appropriate exercise is evaluated.

Next, go to ST20. In ST20, the "achievement scale determination processing unit (program) 82" of Fig. 4 is started, and it is determined whether or not the achievement scale 15 is 100%. If it is 100%, the process proceeds to ST21. In ST21, the "Characteristics such as Metabolic Equivalent Display 13" on the second and third figures displays the character character "Long live symbol", and the "OK" symbol lights or blinks.

Fig. 22 is a schematic diagram showing the "Long live symbol" display and the "OK" symbol on the character character display.

Therefore, the subject person can quickly and easily know that his/her exercise has reached the target by visually confirming the display of the "display 13 such as metabolic equivalent" of the activity meter 10.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the METs value of the appropriate "medium strength METs range" which satisfies the attributes such as the gender or age of the target of the activity amount meter 10 can be automatically set, and the target input by the subject person can also be specified. The step information automatically sets the target time for the medium intensity METs movement.

Furthermore, the degree of achievement is also displayed in the easy-to-follow state on the achievement scale 15, which achieves the determination of the time information in addition to the medium-strength METs movement. In addition, the number of steps is also considered to judge.

Therefore, it is an activity meter 10 that can estimate the amount of exercise or the like with extremely high precision.

On the other hand, Fig. 23 is a schematic explanatory view showing information which can be displayed by the activity meter end display 11 of the activity meter 10.

As shown in Fig. 23, the activity meter end display 11, for example, "display 13 such as a metabolic equivalent", can change its display information by pressing an operation button or the like.

In other words, when the "METs value chart every 2 minutes" shown in Fig. 2 is displayed, the operation button or the like is pressed, and the "medium intensity METs accumulation time", "cumulative step number", and "distance" can be sequentially changed. (Information calculated according to the number of steps)", and "cumulative calorific value".

Therefore, the subject person or the like can arbitrarily display various necessary information by operating an operation button or the like.

As described above, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment refers to the "sex medium strength METs range information 33a" in Fig. 21, and individually defines the appropriate "medium intensity METs value range" based on attributes such as the gender or age of the subject person. In the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" of Fig. 4, it is stored.

However, the "medium-strength METs value range" which is most suitable for the subject may be different even for the same age.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, there are steps such as correction, The "medium-strength METs value range" in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" which is completed and memorized in the fourth figure is more suitable for the subject.

Fig. 15 and Fig. 16 are schematic flow charts showing the steps of correcting the "intensity METs range information of the subject's gender".

This step will be described below in accordance with the flowcharts of Figs. 15 and 16.

First, in ST31, the "information accumulation determination processing unit (program) 83" of Fig. 7 is activated, and the "medium intensity METs accumulation time memory unit 39", "cumulative step number information storage unit 42", and "accumulation" in Fig. 4 are referred to. The calorie calorie value storage unit 41" determines whether or not the data is accumulated for a certain period of time (for example, one week or the like).

When it is judged in ST31 that each piece of data has been in a certain period, the process proceeds to ST32. In ST32, the "average information calculation processing unit (program) 84" of Fig. 7 is activated, and the "medium intensity METs accumulation time memory unit 39", the "cumulative step number information storage unit 42", and the "cumulative calorific value storage unit" are calculated. The data of 41" is accumulated for a certain period of time, such as one-day average of one-week data, which is recorded in Figure 5 with "Medium-intensity METs Average Time Information", "Step Average Information" and "Consumption Calorie Value Average Information". In the "average information memory unit 51".

Next, proceed to ST33. In ST33, the "Standard Information Comparison Change Processing Unit (Program) 85" in Fig. 7 is activated, and the "average value" in Fig. 5 is activated. The "Medium Strength METs Average Time Information", "Step Average Information" and "Consumption Calorie Value Average Information" of the information storage unit 51" are compared with the information in the "standard average information storage unit 52" of Fig. 5.

In the "standard mean value information storage unit 52" of Fig. 5, the standard values of each level ("65 歳 or more, BMI less than 25", etc.) of "sexual medium METs range information 33a" in Fig. 21 are memorized. That is, in this level, the values of "standard medium-strength METs average time information", "standard step average information", and "standard consumption calorie value average information" are predicted in advance.

Therefore, in ST33, these "standard medium strength METs average time information", "standard step average information" and "standard consumption calorie value average information", and "average information memory unit 51" in Fig. 5 The "mean intensity METs average time information", "step average information" and "consumption calorie value average information" are compared to determine whether the value of the subject is approximately equal to the expected value.

Specifically, for example, the subject person now has a level of "65 歳 or more and a BMI of less than 25" in the level of FIG. 21, and the "mean-intensity METs averaging time of the "average information storage unit 51" of FIG. "Information", "Step Average Information" and "Average Consumption Value Average Information", which correspond to the "Standard Medium Strength METs Average Time Information", "Standard Step Average Information" and "Standard Consumption Value Average Information" Comparison.

Next, proceed to ST34. In ST34, judge "medium strength METs Whether the average time information, the average number of steps and the average value of the calorie value exceed the "standard medium METs average time information", the "standard step average information" and the "standard consumption calorie value average" corresponding to the level. Information" specific value (whether or not).

If it is over, go to ST35. When the data of the subject exceeds the standard specific value in ST34, it is estimated that the physical strength of the subject is superior to the standard. At this time, the following processing is performed in ST35.

In other words, the "medium-strength METs value range" in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4 of the target person is referred to the "sex medium-strength METs range" and the like 33a in Fig. 21 Change the "1 level" to the younger side.

In the above example, the current level is "65 歳 or more, BMI is less than 25", and the "Medium METs value range" is "3 to 6 METs". Therefore, the level is changed to the younger level by one level, that is, it is changed to "45歳 or more, less than 65歳", and the "medium-strength METs value range" defined by the level, that is, "4~7METs" is new. The numerical range is stored in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4 .

Thereby, the "medium-strength METs value range" of the subject person can be more appropriate, and it is not a single judgment based on the age or the like, and it is possible to adopt a correspondence that more closely matches the characteristics of each subject.

On the other hand, if it is determined in ST34 that the data of the subject exceeds the standard specific value or more, the process proceeds to ST36. In ST36, judge "medium strength" Whether the METs Average Time Information, the "Step Average Information" and the "Average Consumption Value Average Information" are lower than the corresponding "Standard Medium Strength METs Average Time Information", "Standard Step Average Information" and "Standard Consumption Calorific Value" The average information is above a certain value (whether it is detached).

If it is lower, go to ST37. When the data of the subject person is lower than the standard specific value in ST37, it is estimated that the physical strength of the subject is lower than the standard. At this time, the following processing is performed in ST37.

In other words, the "medium-strength METs value range" in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4 of the target person is referred to the "sex medium-strength METs range" and the like 33a in Fig. 21 Change the "1 level" to the old end.

In the above example, the current level is "65 歳 or more, BMI is less than 25", and the "Medium METs value range" is "3 to 6 METs". Therefore, the level is changed to the old end by one level, that is, it is changed to "65 歳 or more, BMI 25 or more", and the "medium-strength METs value range" set by the level, that is, "2~5 METs" is a new value. The range is stored in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4 .

Thereby, the "medium-strength METs value range" of the subject person can be more appropriate, and it is not a single judgment based on the age or the like, and it is possible to adopt a correspondence that more closely matches the characteristics of each subject.

In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the activity meter 10 can be terminated with the subject of the subject, or if the subject is, for example, diabetes At the time of illness, he communicates with the physician of the medical practitioner such as the attending physician.

Specifically, for example, the "non-contact type IC card 18" and the "doctor terminal end reader/writer 103" and the "target end-end reader/writer 203" having the structure of the activity meter 10 can communicate with each other.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the various kinds of information accumulated by the activity meter 10 can be transmitted not only to the subject end 200 of the subject person, but also to the attending physician end 100.

In particular, when the subject suffers from diabetes or the like, and receives guidance from the attending physician regarding exercise, etc., the various information memorized by the subject's activity meter 10 is transmitted to the physician's end 100 of the attending physician, and the physician can quickly obtain the details. Information, quickly and surely judge its condition.

Fig. 17 is a schematic flow chart showing the steps of transmitting various pieces of information of the activity meter 10 to the end of the physician 100 and the end of the subject.

Hereinafter, the information utilization form of the activity meter 10 such as the doctor end 100 will be described in accordance with the flowchart of FIG.

The following is an example of a subject who is suffering from diabetes who receives an instruction from an attending physician about exercise instruction.

First, the subject who receives the guidance of the attending physician, etc., carries the activity meter 10 already in use on the attending day of the attending physician. As shown in Fig. 1, the activity meter 10 is close to the end of the physician's end. Reader 103".

Then, the two sides started communication and entered ST41 in Figure 17. In ST41, the activity meter 10 determines whether or not the connection target physician terminal 100 requests to transmit information, and if so, proceeds to ST42.

In ST42, the "1 hour unit information generation processing unit (program) 91" of Fig. 8 is activated, and the "medium intensity METs accumulation time memory unit 39", the "cumulative step number information storage unit 42", and the "accumulated consumption calorific value" are referred to. Each information of the memory unit 41", for each hour of data generated, "1 hour unit medium METs cumulative time information", "1 hour unit cumulative step information" and "1 hour unit cumulative consumption calorie value information", memory In Fig. 5, "1 hour unit information storage unit 53".

Next, the process proceeds to ST43. In ST43, the activity meter 10 will be stored in the "1 hour unit medium intensity METs accumulation time information", "1 hour unit cumulative step information" and "1 hour unit" in the "1 hour unit information memory unit 53" of Fig. 5. The cumulative calorie value information is transmitted to the end of the physician 100.

Next, in ST44, "1 hour unit medium METs accumulation time information" received from the activity meter 10 or the like is displayed on the doctor end display 101 of Fig. 1 .

Fig. 24 is a schematic view showing an example of a screen of "1 hour unit medium intensity METs accumulation time information" received from the activity meter 10.

As shown in Fig. 24, the "medium intensity METs time", "step number", and "consumption calorie" are displayed on the doctor's end display 103 in units of one hour, so that the attending physician or the like can correctly grasp the state of the subject.

That is, the subject's attending physician, etc. can grasp the target person At what time and in what degree of steps, the "Medium Strength METs Movement" was implemented to quickly grasp the movement state of the target person.

Further, the target end display 201 of the target end 200 of Fig. 1 can also display this screen example. In other words, the target person transmits the data of the activity meter 10 to the end of the user's end 200 at night, and displays the content on the terminal end display 201 as shown in FIG. 24, so that the day movement can be grasped easily and quickly. situation.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information of "1 hour unit" is generated at the end of the activity meter 10, and transmitted to the doctor end 100 or the like. However, the activity meter 10 can also transmit all the accumulated information to the physician end 100. After that, the doctor will generate "1 hour unit" information based on this information.

Further, in the present invention, the physician terminal 100 includes a "target strength medium METs range information change processing unit (program) (not shown)", and the change signal is transmitted from the physician terminal 100 to the activity meter by the operation here. 10. The range of the medium-strength METs value in the "target gender-intensity METs range information memory unit 34" in Fig. 4 can be changed.

Therefore, if the doctor or the like who has confirmed the data in Fig. 24 visually recognizes whether or not it is necessary to change the "medium-strength METs range value" of the subject who is the patient from the symptom, etc., the doctor's end of the first end of the doctor's end 100 is input. The device 102 transmits the change signal to the activity meter 10, and can be changed to an appropriate "medium strength METs range value" according to the doctor's instruction.

Hereinafter, the "bicycle mode processing" which is different from the walking motion form of Fig. 12 will be described using Fig. 18 and the like.

First, in ST41 of Fig. 18, the timer device 20 measures the operation time of the bicycle mode, and stores it in the "bicycle mode operation time information storage unit 96" in Fig. 8.

Next, the process proceeds to ST42. In ST42, the speed information determination processing unit (program) 92 of Fig. 8 is activated, and the average acceleration data generating device 22 is referred to. The data of the X-axis acceleration sensor 22a, the Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b, and the Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c, and the "speed determination information storage unit 93" data of Fig. 8 determine whether the speed has not reached the traveling speed of the bicycle ( Does the subject stop cycling?)

When it is determined in ST42 that the speed does not reach the traveling speed of the bicycle (the subject person stops the bicycle exercise), the process proceeds to ST43.
