It is possible to input in units of 1 km / h. In addition, the user moves the cursor to the “activity” input field (the unit is “Ex (exercise)”), presses the switch / decision button 46, and then operates the up button 42 and the down button 44 to operate the target. The amount of activity can be input in units of 0.1Ex.

  Instead of the target value of “activity amount”, an input screen for a target value of “calorie consumption (unit: kcal)” may be displayed on the display unit 70. Alternatively, each time the user moves the cursor to the “activity amount” display position and presses the switch / decision button 46, the user presses the up button 42 or the down button 44. It is also possible to allow the user to select input items by alternately displaying them (in conjunction with this, “Ex” and “kcal” are also displayed alternately). Using the relational expression calorie consumption (kcal) = activity amount (Ex) × weight (kg) × 1.05, each time “activity amount” and “calorie consumption” are switched, the numerical value is also changed in conjunction with this. You may do it.

  In addition, a “past target value” button is provided on the input screen 110, and the user moves the cursor to the position of the “past target value” button and presses the switch / decision button 46, whereby the past target value (speed And a target value of activity amount) may be displayed so that any past target value (for example, the previous target value) can be selected.

  The user inputs the target value by operating the up button 42, the down button 44, and the switch / decision button 46, and then moves the cursor to the position of the “OK” button and presses the switch / decision button 46. The target value is confirmed.

  When the input of the target value by the user is completed (Y in S118), the processing unit (CPU) 30 sets the target value (stored in the storage unit 50) according to the input content (S120), and ends the initial setting process.

[Course setting process]
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of the course setting process (the process of S12 of FIG. 4) by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring apparatus 4.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 generates position information of the activity amount measuring device 4 and transmits the position information to the server via the communication unit 80 (S210).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires map information from the server via the communication unit 80 (S212). The map information includes road position and inclination information.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires meteorological data from the meteorological measurement unit 20, and analyzes the current meteorological conditions (atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) (S214).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates a distance (target distance) for achieving the target activity amount under the reference weather conditions (S216), and further corrects the target distance according to the current weather conditions ( S218). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 determines the correction coefficient α according to the current temperature, determines the correction coefficient β according to the current humidity, determines the correction coefficient γ according to the current atmospheric pressure, The correction coefficient δ may be determined in accordance with the wind speed, and the target distance may be corrected to α × β × γ × δ times. For example, a mathematical expression corresponding to each of the correspondence relation between the temperature and the correction coefficient α, the correspondence relation between the humidity and the correction coefficient β, the correspondence relation between the atmospheric pressure and the correction coefficient γ, and the correspondence relation between the wind speed and the correction coefficient δ (for example, a polynomial approximation mathematical expression) ) Coefficient values or table data of each correspondence relationship is stored in the storage unit 50 in advance, and the processing unit (CPU) 30 refers to the coefficient values or table data to thereby determine the correction coefficients α, β, γ, δ. It can be determined by calculation.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 selects course candidates that match the corrected target distance based on the map information (S222). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 selects course A indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 9A and course B indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 9B as course candidates.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a course selection screen (S222). Specifically, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a selection screen including a list of course candidates calculated in step S220. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the course selection screen 120 is configured to be able to select any one of “Course A”, “Course B”, and “Free Course”. The user moves the cursor to “Course A” and presses the switch / decision button 46, so that, for example, a course A route (route from the start point to the end point of the dotted arrow) as shown in FIG. The screen shown is displayed and the course A can be confirmed. Similarly, when the user moves the cursor to “Course B” and presses the switch / decision button 46, for example, the course B route (from the start point to the end point of the dotted arrow as shown in FIG. 9B). A screen showing the route) is displayed, and the course B can be confirmed. If the user presses the switch / decision button 46 on the course A or course B display screen, the screen returns to the course selection screen 120. When the user wants to freely select a route without deciding a course in advance, select “free course”. On the course selection screen 120, check boxes are provided on the right side of “Course A”, “Course B”, and “Free Course”, and the user moves the cursor to one of the check boxes to switch / determine. After the button 46 is pressed, the checked course is selected by moving the cursor to the “OK” button and pressing the switch / decision button 46.

  When the selection of the course by the user is completed (Y in S224), the processing unit (CPU) 30 sets the course selected according to the input content (stored in the storage unit 50) (S225) and ends the course setting process.

[Activity measurement processing]
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of an activity amount measurement process (the process of S <b> 16 in FIG. 4) performed by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measurement apparatus 4.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires meteorological data from the meteorological measurement unit 20, and analyzes the current meteorological conditions (atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) (S310).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the total amount of activity up to the present time of the user in consideration of the current weather conditions (S312). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the user's activity amount per unit time Δt from the output data of the activity amount measurement sensor 90, and according to the current weather conditions, the user's activity amount per unit time Δt. Correct the amount of activity. Then, each time the unit time Δt elapses from the start of exercise, the processing unit (CPU) 30 adds up the amount of user activity per unit time Δt after correction, thereby calculating the total amount of user activity up to now. calculate.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates a difference between the total amount of activity of the user calculated in S312 and the target activity (S314).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the remaining distance until the target amount of activity is reached from the difference between the total amount of activity of the user calculated in S314 and the target amount of activity (S316). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 divides the difference between the total amount of activity up to the user's current activity and the target activity amount by the current activity amount of the user per unit time Δt, thereby allowing the user to exercise. Calculate the time and estimate the remaining distance based on the current user's moving speed.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 corrects the remaining distance calculated in S316 according to the current weather conditions (S318). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 corrects the remaining distance calculated in S316 on the assumption that the weather condition ahead of the course is the same as the current weather condition at the local point and that the weather condition is maintained. .

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays the corrected remaining distance calculated in SS 318 on the display unit 70. For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 performs a target activity distance, an activity amount (activity amount until now), a movement distance, an exercise time, an average speed, an estimated remaining distance, and an estimated remaining amount as shown in FIG. A screen 130 including time information is displayed on the display unit 70. By checking the remaining distance and the remaining time, the user can know how much more exercise is to achieve the target amount of activity.

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 30 determines whether or not the user's activity amount has reached the target activity amount (S322). If the user has reached the target activity amount (Y in S322), it is determined that the user has reached the target activity amount. And the result information is displayed on the display unit 70 (S326). The processing unit (CPU) 30 may notify that the target activity amount has been reached by displaying it on the display unit 70, or may notify by sound when the activity amount measuring device 4 includes a speaker. The result information is information such as activity amount, movement distance, exercise time, average speed, calorie consumption, total calorie consumption (= basal metabolic rate + calorie consumption) due to the exercise.

  On the other hand, if the activity amount of the user has not reached the target activity amount (N in S322), the processing unit (CPU) 30 waits for the elapse of the unit time Δt (Y in S324), and performs the processing in S310 to S320. Do it again.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measuring apparatus of the present embodiment, a weather measurement function is added, and the user's activity amount is corrected and calculated using the measured weather data, thereby taking into account the weather situation. Then, it is possible to perform correction calculation such as activity amount, selection of course candidates, remaining distance (remaining time), and the like. In particular, even if the user performs the same exercise, the amount of activity varies greatly depending on the pressure, temperature, and humidity. Therefore, the correction calculation should be performed accurately by calculating the amount of activity in consideration of the pressure, temperature, and humidity. Can do.

  Further, according to the activity amount measuring apparatus of the present embodiment, the user selects the course by correcting the target distance that the user should exercise in order to reach the target activity amount using the measured weather data. A suitable course for exercising in accordance with the target activity amount can be presented. Thereby, the user can select a course in which the target activity amount becomes constant every day without being influenced by weather conditions, for example.

  Further, according to the activity amount measuring apparatus of the present embodiment, the weather condition during the user's exercise is calculated by calculating the difference between the activity amount up to the present and the target activity amount corrected and calculated using the measured weather data. The remaining distance or the remaining time until the target activity amount is reached can be presented while taking into account the change of. Thereby, for example, the user can perform an exercise such that the target activity amount is constant every day without being affected by weather conditions.

The course on which the user 7 exercises is set on the road 6, for example, and a plurality of courses may exist. In FIG. 13, the meteorological measurement devices 2 are arranged along the course (road 6) at substantially constant intervals (for example, intervals of about 100 m). However, the meteorological measurement devices 2 may be arranged in a distributed manner, and some or all of them may not necessarily be arranged along the course (road 6).

2-2. Configuration of Activity Quantity Measurement System FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the activity quantity measurement system of the present embodiment. The activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment may be configured such that some of the components (each unit) in FIG. 14 are omitted or other components are added.

To do. The weather data demodulated by the weather data receiving unit 20 is sent to a processing unit (CPU) 30.

  In the present embodiment, it is only necessary to obtain real-time weather data on the course on which the user exercises, and the weather data receiving unit 20 does not need to receive transmission data from all the weather measurement devices 2. For example, the weather data receiving unit 20 may receive only transmission data from a predetermined number (N) of weather measurement devices 2 arranged in front of the user along a course along which the user exercises.

  Note that the transmission unit 14 of each weather measurement device 2 transmits weather data in a time-sharing manner at different predetermined periodic timings using radio waves of the same transmission frequency, and the weather data of the data processing device 4 The receiving unit 94 may receive weather data in a time division manner in synchronization with the transmission timing of each weather measurement device 2.

Process to obtain continuously. Specifically, the weather data acquisition unit 31 receives each weather data, and stores the received weather data in the storage unit 50 in order in association with the identification ID assigned to each weather measurement device 2.

  The activity amount calculation unit 32 performs processing for calculating the activity amount of the user. In particular, in the present embodiment, the activity amount calculator 32 corrects and calculates the activity amount of the user based on the weather data acquired by the weather data acquisition unit 31. Specifically, the activity amount calculation unit 32 calculates the current atmospheric pressure from the atmospheric pressure data, temperature data, and humidity data included in the weather data (the weather data measured by the weather measurement unit 20 and the weather data measured by the weather measurement device 2). Analyze temperature and humidity, and correct the user's activity amount according to the analysis result. Furthermore, when the weather measurement unit 20 or the weather measurement device 2 includes a wind speed sensor, the activity amount calculation unit 32 analyzes the current wind speed from the wind speed data included in the weather data, and according to the analysis result, the user's The amount of activity may be corrected and calculated.

Pressure gradient (= pressure difference between two points / distance between two points) can be calculated, and the current wind speed can be estimated from the distribution of the pressure gradient. Accordingly, the user activity amount may be corrected and calculated.

  The route candidate selection unit 34 performs processing for selecting course (exercise route) candidates that satisfy the set target activity based on the map information of the area where the user exercises. In particular, in this embodiment, the route candidate selection unit 34 is based on the weather data acquired by the weather data acquisition unit 31 (meteorological data sent from the weather measurement unit 20 or the weather data reception unit 94), and the target activity amount. The target distance that the user should exercise in order to reach the target is corrected and calculated, and candidates of courses (movement paths) having the corrected calculated target distance are selected. For example, the route candidate selection unit 34 performs the same processing as that of the activity amount calculation unit 32, based on weather data (meteorological data measured by the meteorological measurement unit 20 and meteorological data measured by the meteorological measurement device 2) from the current atmospheric pressure, temperature, Analyze humidity and wind speed, and correct the target distance according to the analysis results.

Processing for calculating the remaining distance or remaining time for the activity amount to reach the target activity amount is performed. In particular, in this embodiment, the target attainment value calculation unit 35 is based on the weather data acquired by the weather data acquisition unit 31 (the weather data sent from the weather measurement unit 20 or the weather data reception unit 94). The remaining distance or remaining time for the activity amount to reach the target activity amount is corrected and calculated. For example, the target attainment value calculation unit 35 performs the same processing as the activity amount calculation unit 32 to obtain the current atmospheric pressure and temperature from weather data (meteorological data measured by the meteorological measurement unit 20 and meteorological data measured by the meteorological measurement device 2). The humidity and wind speed are analyzed, and the remaining distance or remaining time is corrected and calculated according to the analysis result.

  In addition, the target achievement value calculation unit 35 is based on the weather data acquired by the weather data acquisition unit 31 from N (one or more) weather measurement devices 2 arranged forward along the course (the user's movement path). Thus, the remaining distance or remaining time for the user's activity amount to reach the target activity amount may be corrected and calculated.

2-3. Process of activity measurement system [Overall process]
The flowchart of the whole process by the process part (CPU) 30 of the active mass measuring device 4 is the same as FIG. That is, the processing unit (CPU) 30 performs an initial setting process (S10), a course setting process (S12), and an activity amount measuring process (S16) in this order.

[Initial setting processing]
The initial setting process (the process of S10 in FIG. 4) by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring device 4 is the same as that in FIG.

[Course setting process]
FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of the course setting process (the process of S12 of FIG. 4) by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring device 4.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 generates position information and transmits the position information to the server via the communication unit 80 (S210).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires map information from the server via the communication unit 80 (S212). The map information includes information on the position and inclination of the road, information on the position and identification ID of each weather measurement device 2, and the like.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires meteorological data from the meteorological measurement unit 20 and the meteorological measurement device 2, and analyzes the current meteorological conditions (atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) (S214). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 may acquire weather data only from the weather measurement unit 20 and analyze the current weather conditions, or only from the weather measurement device 2 closest to the activity amount measurement device 4. Weather data may be acquired and current weather conditions may be analyzed. In addition, for example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires weather data from all the activity amount measuring devices 4 within a predetermined range from the activity amount measuring device 4, and determines the current weather conditions from the average value of the weather data. You may make it analyze.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates a distance (target distance) for achieving the target activity amount under the reference weather conditions (S216), and further corrects the target distance according to the current weather conditions ( S218).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 selects course candidates that match the corrected target distance based on the map information (S220).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a course selection screen as shown in FIG. 10 (S222). Specifically, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a selection screen including a list of course candidates calculated in step S220. The user operates the up button 42, the down button 44, and the switch / decision button 46 on the selection screen to select a course to exercise.

  When the selection of the course by the user is completed (Y in S224), the processing unit (CPU) 30 sets the course selected according to the input content (stored in the storage unit 50) (S225) and ends the course setting process.

  Note that the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires weather data from all the weather measurement devices 2 included in the map information in S214, and replaces the processing of S216 to S220 with the weather conditions at the position of each weather measurement device 2. Therefore, the course candidate calculation and the target distance calculation may be performed simultaneously (overall).

[Activity measurement processing]
FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of activity amount measurement processing (processing of S16 in FIG. 4) by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measurement apparatus 4.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires meteorological data from the latest N weather measuring devices 2 arranged forward along the course (S310). For example, when the course shown in FIG. 17 (the course of the route from the starting point to the ending point of the dotted arrow) is set, the latest placed in front of the user 7 (activity amount measuring device 4) along this course Meteorological data is acquired from the five (N = 5 cases) meteorological measuring devices 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2e. Thereby, if the weather measuring devices 2 are arranged along the course A at intervals of about 100 m, the weather conditions around 500 m ahead can be known.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the total amount of activity up to the present time of the user in consideration of the current weather conditions (S312).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates a difference between the total amount of activity of the user calculated in S312 and the target activity (S314).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the remaining distance until the target amount of activity is reached from the difference between the total amount of activity of the user calculated in S314 and the target amount of activity (S316).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 corrects the remaining distance calculated in S316 according to the current weather conditions ahead of the course (S318). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 may include the N most recent weather measurement devices 2 (the five weather measurement devices 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, in the example of FIG. 17) arranged forward along the course in S310. 2e) from the meteorological data obtained from 2e), analyze the current weather conditions ahead of the course and assume that these weather conditions are maintained, or when the user passes the position of each meteorological measuring device 2 The weather condition is predicted and the remaining distance calculated in S316 is corrected.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays the corrected remaining distance calculated in SS 318 on the display unit 70. For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a screen as shown in FIG. By checking the remaining distance and the remaining time, the user can know how much more exercise is to achieve the target amount of activity.

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 30 determines whether or not the user's activity amount has reached the target activity amount (S322). If the user has reached the target activity amount (Y in S322), it is determined that the user has reached the target activity amount. And the result information is displayed on the display unit 70 (S326).

  On the other hand, if the activity amount of the user has not reached the target activity amount (N in S322), the processing unit (CPU) 30 waits for the elapse of the unit time Δt (Y in S324), and performs the processing in S310 to S320. Do it again.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the weather data measured by the activity amount measurement device 4 and the weather data measured by each of the plurality of weather measurement devices 2 arranged in a distributed manner are used. By performing detailed analysis of weather conditions in combination, it is possible to perform correction calculations such as activity amount, selection of course candidates, remaining distance (remaining time), etc. in consideration of weather conditions. In particular, even if the user performs the same exercise, the amount of activity varies greatly depending on the pressure, temperature, and humidity. Therefore, the correction calculation can be accurately performed by considering the pressure, temperature, and humidity.

  Further, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the user can present a suitable course for exercising in accordance with the target activity amount, so that the user is not affected by weather conditions, for example. You can select a course that has a constant amount of activity every day.

  In addition, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, weather conditions other than the position of the activity amount measurement device 4 can be analyzed by using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of distributed weather measurement devices 2. Therefore, the remaining distance and remaining time can be predicted in consideration of the weather conditions that change in real time. In particular, by using the weather data measured by the N weather measuring devices 2 arranged forward along the user's movement path, the weather conditions ahead of the user can be understood, so the prediction accuracy of the remaining distance and remaining time can be improved. Can be increased. Thereby, for example, the user can perform an exercise such that the target activity amount is constant every day without being affected by weather conditions.

3. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.

[Modification 1]
For example, performance information related to the amount of activity when the user has exercised in the past is stored, and the processing unit (CPU) 30 (particularly the route candidate selection unit 34) of the activity amount measuring device 4 stores past information together with weather conditions. Course candidates may be selected in consideration of the results. The performance information includes, for example, activity values, heart rate, moving distance, moving speed, measured values of exercise time, weather conditions, target activity, target distance, target speed, etc. when the user has exercised in the past. Information. The route candidate selection unit 34 refers to the performance information, and increases or decreases the correction amount of the next target distance according to, for example, the weather conditions therein, the difference between the target distance and the moving distance, the relationship with the heart rate, and the like. To select course candidates.

  In this way, by using the record information regarding the amount of activity when the user has exercised in the past, an appropriate course according to the physical strength of the user can be presented.

[Modification 2]
For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the weather measurement unit 20 of the activity amount measurement device 4 may include an air quality sensor 28 in addition to the atmospheric pressure sensor 22, the temperature sensor 24, and the humidity sensor 26. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, each weather measurement device 2 may include an air quality sensor 13 in addition to the atmospheric pressure sensor 10, the temperature sensor 11, and the humidity sensor 12. The air quality sensor 13 is a sensor that reacts to fine particles (smoke, sand, pollen, etc.), nitrogen oxides (NO _x ), etc. in the air. The higher the concentration of fine particles and the like present in the air, the lower the oxygen concentration. Therefore, even if the same exercise is performed, the amount of activity increases. Therefore, by measuring the air quality and including it in the weather conditions, it is possible to more accurately perform the correction calculation of the amount of activity, the selection of course candidates, and the remaining distance (remaining time).
