Description

Pedometer

This creation is about a pedometer, in particular a pedometer with no wearable position.

A pedometer is a device that can be worn on the body to calculate the number of walks. It is also a practical tool to assist in sports. The general pedometer is used as the basis for judging the number of walks through the vibration of the wearer. In the early days, mechanical switches were used to measure the wearer's vibration, but the mechanical switch's measurement accuracy was poor and has been gradually eliminated. The current mainstream pedometer is that the electronic pedometer multi-sensor is used to sense vibration, and after the calculation, the number of steps is obtained, and the GPS signal can be further used to calculate the moving distance. However, the electronic detection method still has a misjudgment condition, and the GPS signal is also susceptible to terrain, ground objects and weather, making it impossible to calculate the distance correctly. In addition, the current pedometer is also limited in the wearing part, most of which is worn on the hand or waist. If it is not worn according to the design specifications, the number of steps cannot be calculated correctly. The application of the pedometer is further limited. Therefore, how to calculate the number of steps more accurately to increase the application of the add pedometer is worthy of consideration in the field.

This creation provides a pedometer that detects six pieces of displacement information and calculates step information without being restricted by the wearing position. The present invention provides a pedometer that includes a displacement sensor and a processor. The displacement sensor is adapted to sense a plurality of displacement signals. The processor is coupled to the displacement sensor, receives the displacement signal, and calculates displacement information in six directions. The processor is further adapted to analyze the direction displacement information. When the relative displacement information of the two directions is greater than the displacement information of the other direction, the determination is valid and cumulatively calculates a step information. The pedometer described above, further comprising a wireless communication module connected to the processor. The pedometer described above, wherein the processor is further adapted to input a wearer information. The pedometer described above, wherein the wearer information includes a wearer type, height, weight, age, and gender.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 . FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of displacement sensing of the creation pedometer. FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of the creation pedometer. The pedometer 100 of the present invention includes a displacement sensor 110, a processor 120 and a wireless communication module 130. The displacement sensor 110 is, for example, a Motion sensor, and the displacement sensor 110 is adapted to sense the displacement state of the pedometer 100 and generate a plurality of displacement signals, which are transmitted to the processor 120 for calculation. The processor 120 is coupled to the displacement sensor 110 and receives the displacement signal. The processor 120 calculates six directions of displacement information from the received displacement signals via an algorithm, and the six directions of displacement information respectively represent the displacement directions of the front, the rear, the left, the right, the upper and the lower (as shown in FIG. 1 ). ), that is, the dynamics of the pedometer 100. Further, the processor 120 is further adapted to analyze the six-direction displacement information to calculate the number of walks of the wearer. Specifically, when two relative direction displacement information is greater than other direction displacement information, it can be judged as effective walking, and the cumulative calculation is calculated into a step information. For example, when the displacement information of the upper and lower two directions is greater than the displacement information of the other four directions, such as left, right, front, and rear, it can be determined that the relative information of the front and rear directions is valid, and is calculated as one step. The displacement of the information operation in six directions allows the pedometer 100 to be placed at any position on the wearer without being constrained by the wearer's wearing position. Further, the pedometer 100 is also free from the type of wearer and can also be used as a pet pedometer. In an embodiment, the processor 120 is further adapted to input a wearer information. The wearer information includes the wearer type, height, weight, age and gender. Among them, the wearer type is a type used as a pedometer for humans, a pedometer for pets, or other types of pedometers. The processor 120 can further utilize the wearer information to calculate other data. In an embodiment, the processor 120 can calculate a walking distance and a walking speed via the wearer information, and the processor 120 calculates the possible step distance of the wearer based on the gender, height and weight of the wearer, that is, The moving distance of each step. Together with the amount of pace information, the wearer's walking distance can be calculated. That is, the step size is multiplied by the walking distance. In another embodiment, the processor 120 may calculate the walking speed of the wearer by the relationship between the time and the moving distance, or calculate the walking speed by the frequency of the direction displacement information and the walking distance. In one embodiment, the processor 120 may also calculate a calorie expenditure information via the wearer information, and the processor 120 calculates the calorie consumption of each step of the wearer by gender, height and weight. Further, the amount of heat consumed during walking is calculated by the number of steps of the step information. That is, the number of steps is multiplied by the calorie consumption of each step, and the amount of heat consumed during walking can be calculated. In the present embodiment, the unit for calculating the calorie expenditure is Calorie. In an embodiment, the processor 120 can also set a heat consumption target and a walking target. And the calorie expenditure goal and the walking goal can be calculated in units of time, such as a weekly goal or a daily goal. When the step information is greater than the walking target or the heat consumption information is greater than the heat consumption target, the processor 120 generates a notification message to notify the wearer that the target has been completed. Specifically, the notification message can be presented by sound, vibration, or push message. In this embodiment, the pedometer 100 further includes a wireless communication module 130. The wireless communication module 130 is, for example, an antenna such as Bluetooth, WIFI, RFID, or NFC. The wireless communication module 130 allows the pedometer 100 to be communicatively coupled to an external electronic device 10. The electronic device 10 is, for example, a smart phone and is equipped with a control software. Therefore, the pedometer 100 can transmit the data to the electronic device 10 through the wireless communication module 130. That is, the wearer can transmit control commands to the pedometer 100 or receive various materials in the pedometer 100 via the electronic device 10. The control command is, for example, setting a walking target, a heat consumption target, inputting wearer information, and the like. Receiving data, for example, browsing current calorie consumption, walking steps, walking distance, or receiving notification messages to achieve goals. Further, after receiving the data in the pedometer 100, the electronic device 10 can perform statistical analysis and generate a chart. For example, the daily calorie consumption change chart. It is also possible to save this data to a mobile phone or cloud server for backup or analysis. The pedometer 100 of the present invention detects the displacement information in multiple directions through the displacement sensor 110, and selects the relative two-direction displacement information from the processor 120 as a calculation basis, thereby determining the wearer's Walking status provides a more accurate calculation. The number of steps can also be calculated by making the pedometer 100 not limited by the wearing position. It is also not limited to the wearer type and can be applied to a pet pedometer. It is also possible to calculate the calorie consumption and walking distance, and set the target to assist the wearer's movement.
