Description of embodiments

1 FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a training information measuring device. FIG 10 to illustrate an embodiment of the present invention.

A training information measuring device 10 includes: a body movement detection unit 1 , a control unit 2 performing overall control, a reporting unit 3 , an operating unit 4 , a storage unit 5 comprising a storage medium such as a flash memory or ROM (read-only memory), a display unit 6 for displaying various types of information and a heartbeat sensor 7 ,

The body movement detection unit 1 detects information (acceleration, angular velocity) corresponding to a movement of a part of a user's body (hereinafter referred to as "carrier") to which the exercise information measuring device 10 is attached (including a state in which the training information measuring device 10 is in a pocket of a garment).

The body movement detection unit 1 has various sensors such as an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, and has a signal processing unit that processes signals output from the various sensors. It is enough that the body movement detection unit 1 at least one motion detection sensor and a signal processing unit that processes signals from the motion detection sensor comprises.

The control unit 2 consists mainly of a processor, which is one in the ROM memory of the memory unit 5 stored program executes.

The reporting unit 3 is an interface for making a message to the carrier. The reporting unit 3 For example, it consists of a speaker or a vibrator.

The operating unit 4 is a device for inputting various commands into the control unit 2 , The operating unit 4 consists of a button or a touch-sensitive screen or the like on the display unit 6 are attached.

The storage unit 5 stores from the body movement detection unit 1 detected detection information and stores information necessary for the operation of the exercise information measuring device 10 is needed. The storage unit 5 stores map data used in a processing described below. The map data also includes slope information from each location.

The display unit 6 shows information necessary for the operation of the exercise information measuring device 10 is needed, one of the training information measuring device 10 measured amount of activity and the like. The display unit 6 For example, it is composed of a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device or the like.

The heartbeat sensor 7 is a sensor that detects the heartbeat of the wearer. 2 is a diagram showing functional blocks used by the control unit 2 be realized with the help of the processor, the one in the memory unit 5 the training information measuring device 10 from 1 stored program executes.

As in 2 shown, the control unit instructs 2 on: a movement speed measurement unit 20 , a body information measurement unit 21 a memory controller 22 , a movement rate distribution setting unit 23 , a slope information extraction unit 24 , a movement speed correction unit 25 and a guidance unit 26 ,

The movement speed measurement unit 20 measures the movement speed of the wearer based on the body movement detection unit 1 detected detection information.

For example, based on a value obtained by multiplying a step number in a predetermined period of time detected based on the detection information and a preset step length, the movement-speed measuring unit calculates 20 a movement distance in the given period. The movement speed measurement unit 20 uses the given time period and the movement distance to measure the movement distance per unit time (eg 60 minutes) as the movement speed.

It should be noted that separate from the body movement detection unit 1 a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver in the training information measuring device 10 can be installed and that the movement speed measuring unit 20 can measure the movement speed based on a signal detected by the GPS receiver.

The body information measurement unit 21 measures the heart rate serving as the body information indicative of the training load of the wearer based on that of the heartbeat sensor 7 detected Heartbeat data. There is no restriction on the heart rate and, for example, the pulse rate can be used as the body information. In this case, instead of the heartbeat sensor 7 a pulse sensor used. In the present specification, description is made using heartbeats per minute as the heart rate.

The movement rate distribution setting unit 23 sets the movement pitch distribution for when the carrier moves over a distance set by the carrier (target distance input via the operating unit 4 ).

For example, the storage unit stores 5 a plurality of patterns of movement pitch distribution for movement over a distance X in a predetermined period Y.

With a pattern in which a movement speed A in a segment corresponding to the first 10% of the distance X is used, a movement speed B in a segment corresponding to 10% to 80% of the distance X is used, and a movement speed C is used in a segment corresponding to 80% to 100% of the distance X, in particular, there are stored patterns resulting from a change in the numerical values of the movement speeds A, B, and C, and patterns resulting from a change in the Distribution of the lengths of the segments for setting the movement speeds A, B and C result. There may also be patterns in which two or four or more movement speeds are set.

The storage unit 5 also stores card data and with the help of the control unit 2 The control performed is a map-data-based map on the display unit 6 displayed. The carrier operates the operating unit 4 to set a planned movement route on the map on which the wearer will move in the future.

The movement rate distribution setting unit 23 wins the distance of the planned movement route from the map-based map and sets it as the target distance for the wearer. In addition, the movement pace distribution setting unit sets 23 a target time entered by the carrier (time required to complete a movement over the target distance).

When the target distance and the target time are set, the movement-speed distribution setting unit shows 23 on the display unit 6 a screen for selecting a movement pitch distribution pattern.

When the wearer sets a specific movement-pace distribution pattern on the selection screen, the movement-pace distribution setting unit reads 23 the specified pattern from the storage unit 5 out. The movement rate distribution setting unit 23 sets a movement pitch distribution in the case where the distance X of the read pattern is replaced by the set target distance. Further, the movement-pace distribution setting unit sets 23 the final movement pitch distribution by processing the movement speed set here to reach a target speed for which the predetermined amount of time Y is set.

It should be noted that it is possible to use a configuration in which the carrier performs manual operation to input the movement pitch distribution for the target distance set according to the planned movement route, and the movement-speed distribution setting unit 23 the entered distribution sets.

Again, the map data is in the storage unit 5 stored, but the training information measuring device 10 may be provided with a communication interface that can connect to a network, such as the Internet, and the control unit 2 can get the map data over the network.

The slope information extraction unit 24 obtains slope information of routes on which the carrier is moving. The grade information may be based on that in the storage unit 5 stored map data are obtained. It should be noted that the slope information, like the map data, can be obtained over the network from an external device.

The memory controller 22 stores one from the movement speed measurement unit 20 measured movement speed and one of the body information measurement unit 21 measured body information at a time when the wearer is moving on a certain route and uphill information of the certain route coming from the slope information retrieval unit 24 is gained, in conjunction with each other in the storage unit 5 ,

In other words, the storage unit 5 stores a movement route for a time in which the wearer moved in the past, uphill information of the movement route, a record of the movement speed when movement was made on the movement route, and a record of a heart rate when movement was performed on the movement route.

The movement speed correction unit 25 corrects the movement rate distribution setting unit 23 set motion tempo distribution based on the tempo of movement, the body information, and the slope information stored in the memory unit 5 are stored, and that of the slope information obtaining unit 24 obtained slope information of the planned movement route.

The instruction unit 26 performs according to the movement speed correction unit 25 corrected motion tempo distribution guidance on the movement speed of the wearer. For example, instructions regarding the movement speed are made by the message unit 3 is caused to generate a sound, or a vibrator is caused to vibrate, at a time corresponding to the movement speed, so that the movement can be performed at the set movement speed.

Steps will now be described by the system 100 which is configured as described above.

3 FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating operations performed by the exercise information measuring device. FIG 10 be performed.

The wearer of the training information measuring device 10 first places a planned movement route on one on the display unit 6 displayed on the display, selects on the display unit 6 displayed movement tempo distribution pattern and inputs a target time necessary to complete a movement on the planned movement route.

Accordingly, the movement-pace distribution setting unit wins and sets 23 On the basis of the fixed planned movement route, the target distance sets, based on the target distance and the selected pattern, the movement speed distribution for the target distance and further sets the input target time (step S1).

4 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a movement rate distribution set for the target distance set in step S1. 4 shows a movement speed distribution set in the case of movement in an input target time on a predetermined planned movement route with a total distance of 6.5 km.

Next, the slope information extraction unit wins 24 based on the map data of the storage unit 5 the slope information of the planned movement route set by the wearer (step S2). 5 FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of slope information obtained in step S2. As in 5 As shown, the grade information consists of information about the height at each distance.

Next corrects the motion tempo correction unit 25 based on the slope information obtained in step S2, the movement speed set in step S1 (step S3).

For example, on the planned movement route set in step S1, uphill sections having an inclination greater than or equal to a predetermined value are subjected to a correction for reducing the movement speed, and become downhill sections having an inclination greater than or equal to a predetermined value , subjected to a correction for increasing the movement speed.

Due to this correction, there is a shift between the set target time and the amount of time required to complete the movement at the time of moving over the target distance with the corrected movement pitch distribution. For this reason, the movement-pace correction unit corrects 25 the speed of movement continues so that the amount of time necessary to complete the movement over the target distance is consistent with the target time. In particular, the motion-speed correction unit performs 25 a correction to increase the overall movement speed evenly.

6 Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a movement speed corrected in step S3. In 6 denotes reference numeral 61 the movement speed set in step S1. reference numeral 62 denotes the speed of movement which is obtained by the reference numeral 61 designated movement speed based on the in 5 corrected slope information is corrected. reference numeral 63 denotes the speed of movement which is obtained by the reference numeral 62 designated movement speed is adjusted in adaptation to the target time.

Next, estimate the motion-tempo correction unit 25 based on the rate of movement, body information and slope information stored in the memory unit 5 stored in the 5 shown slope information obtained in step S2, and the reference numeral 63 For example, corrected motion tempos referred to changes in heart rate that are indicative of values of the heart rate for distance acquisition times in the case of movement with the reference numeral 63 denotes the corrected movement speed on the planned travel route set by the wearer (step S4).

The heart rate that results from moving at a certain pace on a route with a certain slope can be determined based on the rate of movement, the body information, and the slope information stored in the memory unit 5 stored, determine.

Accordingly, it is possible, using a relational expression expressing the relationship between the movement speed, the body information and the slope information, the slope information of the planned travel route set by the wearer and the reference numeral 63 in 6 designated corrected movement tempo, in the case of moving on the planned movement route with the corrected movement speed to estimate changes in the heart rate.

7 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the changes in the heart rate estimated in step S4. 8th FIG. 12 is a diagram showing, in an overlapping manner, the movement speed corrected in step S3, denoted by reference numeral 63 is designated, and in 7 shows estimated changes in heart rate.

8th shows the upper limit threshold of the heart rate. The upper limit threshold can be set by operating the operating unit 4 can be entered at the discretion of the carrier or can be set by the control unit 2 is calculated.

In the case of a calculation by the control unit 2 uses the control unit 2 for example, {(maximum heart rate - resting heart rate) · α + (resting heart rate)} as the upper limit threshold. The maximum heart rate in this regard is (220 - age of the wearer) beats per minute. The resting heart rate is generally 70 beats per minute and the coefficient α is set to 0.5 for a person with a low level of performance and is set to 0.85 for a person with a high level of performance.

The maximum heart rate and resting heart rate are entered by manual input from the wearer or by the heart rate sensor 7 measured, and the control unit 2 sets the upper limit threshold using the above expression. The upper limit threshold is a value indicating that, when the heart rate becomes greater than or equal to this, the heart of the wearer is subjected to an excessive load.

It should be noted that the upper limit threshold is not limited thereto and may be determined as desired by the wearer. For example, the motion tempo correction unit 25 set the upper limit in response to a desire not to exceed xx% of the maximum heart rate because it is dangerous for the heart rate to be greater than or equal to such a value.

After step S4, the movement-pace correction unit corrects 25 that with reference number 63 designated movement rate such that the heart rate estimated in step S4 is less than or equal to the upper limit threshold (eg, 90% of the upper limit threshold) over all segments of the planned movement route (step S5).

In other words, for the segments in which the estimated heart rate exceeds the upper limit threshold in FIG 8th exceeds, performs the movement speed correction unit 25 a correction to reduce the rate of movement, so that the heart rate in these segments is less than or equal to the upper limit threshold, resulting in the in 9 with reference number 70 indicated movement speed results.

Due to the correction made in step S5, there is a discrepancy between the set target time and the amount of time necessary to complete the movement at the time of moving over the target distance with the corrected movement pitch distribution. For this reason, the movement-pace correction unit corrects 25 that with reference number 70 indicated movement speed, so that the amount of time necessary to complete the movement over the target distance, consistent with the target time.

In particular, the motion-speed correction unit performs 25 a correction for smoothly increasing or decreasing the movement speed in all segments except for the segments in which the movement speed has been changed in step S5, so that the amount of time necessary to complete the movement over the target distance with the target time matches.

The motion-speed correction unit then saves 25 the corrected movement speed as the final movement speed in the storage unit 5 (Step S6).

If the carrier is the operating unit 4 is operated to give the instruction to start training (step S7: YES), the instructional section guides 26 the speed of movement of the wearer by regularly performing a message from the reporting unit 3 based on the in step S6 in the storage unit 5 stored final movement speed (step S8).

As described above, according to the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 corrects the movement speed set for the planned movement route, first commanded by the wearer, on the basis of the slope information of the planned movement route and on the basis of the movement speed for a certain past movement route of the wearer, the body information gained while the movement Movement is performed on the movement route, and the slope information of the movement route. Since the set movement speed based on the past data of the carrier, in the storage unit 5 is corrected, it is possible to provide a guide in terms of the movement speed according to the person using the training information measuring device 10 contributes to perform suitably.

It should be noted that, as in 9 shown, the total changes in the corrected movement speed (reference numeral 70 ) based on the total changes in the set movement speed. For this reason, training may be performed with a load desired by the wearer without imposing too much stress on the wearer's heart. In this way, the training information measuring device 10 Not only are they suitable for walking and running at a constant pace, but also for more complex training patterns, which can improve functionality and increase product value.

According to the training information measuring device 10 the movement speed is also corrected taking into account slope information of the set planned movement route. For this reason, it is possible to perform an appropriate correction according to a certain route selected by the wearer, and it is possible to receive an accurate guidance corresponding to the certain route without being limited to training on the route.

It should be noted that among the in 2 Function blocks shown, the slope information acquisition unit 24 can be omitted. With the control unit 2 of a modified example in which the slope information obtaining unit 24 is omitted, stores the memory controller 22 that of the movement speed control unit 20 calculated movement speed and that of the body information measurement unit 21 measured body information in association with each other in the storage unit 5 ,

With the control unit 2 of a modified example estimates the movement speed correction unit 25 in addition, the changes in the heart rate of the wearer at the time of moving over a target distance at the set movement speed based on the movement speed distribution setting unit 23 set movement tempo distribution and the movement tempo for a certain movement route and the heart rate in the storage unit 5 are stored. The movement speed correction unit 25 corrects the set movement speed based on changes in heart rate.

In the above description, in step S5 of FIG 3 In addition, the movement rate is corrected so that the estimated heart rate is less than or equal to the upper limit threshold. However, depending on the mode of use, the speed of movement is corrected in various ways.

For example, in the case of responding to a desire to walk at a heart rate that is within xx% to xx% of the maximum heart rate, it is sufficient to use a configuration in which the movement speed in step S5 of FIG 3 is corrected such that the estimated heart rate falls within a predetermined range (eg, an area set by a user). Also with this configuration corrects the movement speed correction unit 25 the rate of movement such that the heart rate is less than or equal to the upper limit of that range.

10 is a flow chart illustrating operations performed by the control unit 2 a modified example. In 10 is a processing that the in 3 shown, denoted by like reference numerals and their description is omitted.

After step S1, the movement speed correction unit estimates 25 Changes in the heart rate of the wearer at the time of moving on the planned movement route at the set movement speed, based on the movement speed distribution setting unit 23 set movement tempo distribution and based on the movement tempo and heart rate for the particular movement route taken in the storage unit 5 are stored (step S4a).

The heart rate that will be reached when moving at a certain pace is based on the rate of movement and the body information stored in the memory unit 5 stored, determined. Using a relational expression expressing the relationship between the movement speed and the body information, and the in 4 The set movement tempo shown, the changes in the heart rate in the case of moving on the specified planned movement route with the in 4 be shown movement speed.

After step S4a, the movement-pace correction unit corrects 25 the rate of movement such that over all segments of the established scheduled movement route the heart rate is less than or equal to the upper limit threshold (step S5a). Specifically, a correction is performed in which the movement speed of a segment in which the set heart rate exceeds the upper limit threshold is decreased so that the heart rate is less than or equal to the upper limit threshold.

Due to the correction made in step S5a, there is a mismatch between the set target time and the amount of time necessary to complete the movement in the case of moving over the target distance with the corrected movement pitch distribution. For this reason, the movement-pace correction unit corrects 25 the movement speed corrected in step S5a, so that the amount of time necessary to complete the movement over the target distance agrees with the target time.

In particular, the motion-speed correction unit performs 25 a correction for uniformly increasing or decreasing the movement speed in all segments except for the segments in which the movement speed has been changed in step S5a, so that the amount of time necessary to complete the movement over the target distance with the target time matches.

The motion-speed correction unit then saves 25 the corrected movement speed as the final movement speed in the storage unit 5 (Step S6).

As described above, even if the slope information is not used, the movement speed according to the person using the training information measuring device 10 carries, corrects. For this reason, even if training is performed at a movement pace that is not constant, it is possible to perform assistance such that training is performed without the heart rate exceeding an upper limit threshold.

It should be noted that after the start of training the control unit 2 the training information measuring device 10 based on the detection information of the heartbeat sensor 7 Can monitor changes in the heart rate and correct the set movement rate distribution so that the heart rate does not exceed the upper limit threshold.
