1. Configuration 1-1. Configuration for Notifying Elapsed Time Required for Each Reference Distance FIG. 1 shows an example of a functional block diagram of a measurement system according to the present embodiment. Note that the measurement system of this embodiment may have a configuration in which some of the components in FIG. 1 are omitted.

  In FIG. 1, an example of notifying the user of the elapsed time (required time) required to travel (or walk) the input reference distance based on the reference distance input by the user as the reference interval. explain.

  The measurement system 1 shown in FIG. 1 is configured as a single device, and is configured as a portable information processing device that can be carried by a user. The measurement system 1 includes a sensor 10, an input unit 20, a storage unit 30, a processing unit 40, and a notification unit 50.

  The sensor 10 detects the movement (inertial force) or position of the user who carries the measurement system 1, and an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration may be used as the sensor that detects the movement, or the position is detected. A GPS receiver that receives radio waves from GPS satellites and obtains position information may be used as the sensor. The measurement system 1 may be configured to include a first sensor that is an acceleration sensor and a second sensor that is a GPS receiver.

  The input unit 20 is for a user to input input information, and the function can be realized by an input device such as a button or a touch panel display, or a voice input device. The user can input an arbitrary reference distance as a reference interval using the input unit 20. For example, when the user wants to measure a lap time for every 1 km (elapsed time required for every 1 km), “1 km” is input as the reference interval (reference distance). Further, the input unit 20 may be configured to be able to input operation information for starting measurement of travel distance and elapsed time.

  The storage unit 30 (memory) serves as a work area for the processing unit 40, and stores programs, data, and the like for causing the information processing apparatus 10 to function as each unit of the processing 40. Can be realized.

  The storage unit 30 stores the reference distance input from the input unit 20 as a reference interval.

  The processing unit 40 performs data processing based on the output of the sensor 10 and input information from the input unit, and its function can be realized by a processor such as a CPU, a control IC, and a program. The processing unit 40 includes a distance measuring unit 42, a time measuring unit 44, and a determining unit 46.

  The distance measurement unit 42 measures the travel distance of the user based on the output of the sensor 10 and outputs the measurement value to the determination unit 46. The distance measurement unit 42 may measure the travel distance of the user by autonomous navigation based on the output of the sensor 10 that is an acceleration sensor, or acquires the position based on the output of the sensor 10 that is a GPS receiver. You may measure a user's travel distance based on the change of a position. The distance measuring unit 42 may measure the travel distance of the user based on the output of the first sensor that is an acceleration sensor and the output of the second sensor that is a GPS receiver.

  The distance measuring unit 42 starts measuring the travel distance based on the output of the sensor 10 and outputs a measurement start signal SS (interrupt signal) to the time measuring unit 44. For example, it is determined whether the user has started traveling (moved) based on the output of the sensor 10, and when it is determined that the user has started traveling (moved), measurement of the travel distance is started. Further, the distance measuring unit 42 may start the measurement of the travel distance when the operation information instructing the start of the measurement is input from the input unit 20. For example, the measurement of the travel distance may be started when the user operates a predetermined button that is one of the input units 20.

The timer unit 44 (timer) measures (measures) the elapsed time, and starts measuring the elapsed time in response to the measurement start signal SS from the distance measuring unit 42.

  The determination unit 46 compares the travel distance measured by the distance measurement unit 42 and the reference distance stored as the reference interval in the storage unit 30 to determine whether the measured travel distance has reached the reference distance. To do. If the determination unit 46 determines that the travel distance has reached the reference distance, the determination unit 46 outputs a measurement stop signal ES (interrupt signal) to the time measurement unit 44.

  In response to the measurement stop signal ES from the determination unit 46, the time measuring unit 44 uses the measurement value when the measurement stop signal ES is received as the elapsed time (lap time for each reference distance) required for each reference distance. Output to.

  The notification unit 50 notifies the user of the elapsed time required for each reference distance based on the measurement value output from the time measuring unit 44 using voice information. The function of the notification unit 50 can be realized by a sound generation unit that generates sound and a sound output unit such as a speaker or headphones that outputs sound.

  That is, when the user inputs an arbitrary reference distance from the input unit 20 and travels with the measurement system 1 (may be walking), the lap time for each input reference distance is notified to the user by voice. Thus, the user can easily grasp the lap time for each arbitrary reference distance. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the elapsed time for each reference distance can be notified based on the reference distance arbitrarily set by the user, and a more convenient measurement system can be provided. .

  Note that the notification unit 50 may notify the user of the elapsed time required for each reference distance by text information or image information. In this case, the function of the notification unit 50 can be realized by an image generation unit that generates an image and a display unit (display) that displays the image. Moreover, when notifying by character information or image information, it can be made to grasp | ascertain that there was a notification by comprising so that the vibration part contained in the measurement system 1 may be vibrated at the time of notification.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example when the measurement system illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a measurement device and a notification device. In FIG. 2, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in FIG. 1, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the measurement system 1 includes a measurement device 2 and a notification device 4 that perform wireless communication with each other. The measurement device 2 includes a sensor 10, an input unit 20, a storage unit 30, a processing unit 40, and a first wireless communication unit 60, and the notification device 4 includes a second wireless communication unit 62 and a notification unit 50. The first and second wireless communication units 60 and 62 perform various controls for performing wireless communication, and their functions can be realized by various processors, communication ASICs, programs, and the like.

  In response to the measurement stop signal ES, the time measurement unit 44 of the measurement device 2 outputs the measurement value at that time to the first wireless communication unit 60 as the elapsed time required for each reference distance. The first wireless communication unit 60 transmits the measurement value from the time measuring unit 44 to the second wireless communication unit 62 of the notification device 4 by wireless communication. The second wireless communication unit 62 receives the measurement value transmitted from the first wireless communication unit 60 and outputs it to the notification unit 50. The notification unit 50 notifies the user of the elapsed time required for each reference distance based on the measurement value output from the second wireless communication unit 62 using voice information, text information, or image information. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the input unit 20 is configured to be included in the notification device 4, and the reference distance input from the input unit 20 is the second wireless communication unit 62 and the first wireless communication unit 60. You may make it memorize | store in the memory | storage part 30 via.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating another example in which the measurement system illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a measurement device and a notification device. In FIG. 3, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the measuring device 2 is configured not to include the time measuring unit 46, but the notification device 4 includes the time measuring unit 46. The distance measurement unit 42 of the measurement device 1 outputs a measurement start signal SS to the first wireless communication unit 60, and the determination unit 46 outputs a measurement stop signal ES to the first wireless communication unit 60. . The first wireless communication unit 60 transmits the measurement start signal SS output from the distance measurement unit 42 and the measurement stop signal ES output from the determination unit 46 to the second wireless communication unit 62 of the notification device 4. To do. The second wireless communication unit 62 outputs the received measurement start signal SS and measurement stop signal ES to the time measuring unit 46. The timer 46 starts measuring the elapsed time according to the measurement start signal SS from the second wireless communication unit 62, and the measurement value at that time according to the measurement stop signal ES from the second wireless communication unit 62. Is output to the notification unit 50 as the elapsed time required for each reference distance.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the measurement system 1 is configured by being divided into a measurement device 2 that measures the travel distance and elapsed time and a notification device 4 that notifies the elapsed time required for each reference distance. Each device can be reduced in size, and the measuring device 2 can be arranged at a position where it is easy to detect the movement of the user, and the notification device 4 can be arranged at a position where the user can easily be notified. Thus, it is possible to provide a more convenient measurement system.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a functional block diagram of the measurement system when the elapsed time required for each reference distance is compared with the history information and the comparison result is notified. In FIG. 4, the same components as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the storage unit 30 of the measurement system 1 stores the elapsed time (lap time for each reference distance) required for each reference distance output from the time measuring unit 44 as history information. The processing unit 40 of the measurement system 1 further includes a comparison unit 48. The comparison unit 48 compares the elapsed time required for each reference distance output from the time measuring unit 44 with the past history information stored in the storage unit 30 and outputs the comparison result to the notification unit 50. The notification unit 50 notifies the user of information (voice information, character information, or image information) based on the comparison result in the comparison unit 48. In the measurement system 1 shown in FIG. 2, the processing unit 40 of the measurement device 2 is configured to include the comparison unit 48, and in the measurement system 1 illustrated in FIG. 3, the notification device 4 includes the comparison unit 48. What is necessary is just to comprise.

  For example, when “1 km” is set as the reference distance, as shown in FIG. 5, the elapsed time (lap time for each 1 km) output from the timer 44 is stored as history information. The And the comparison part 48 calculates the difference of the lap time for every 1 km output from the time measuring part 44 and the lap time of the history information as shown in FIG. 5, and the notification part 50 is for every 1 km calculated by the comparison part. A difference in lap time (an example of a comparison result) is notified by voice information, character information, or image information. Further, instead of notifying the lap time difference, it may be notified that the current lap time is above or below the lap time of the history information.

  In addition, the comparison unit 48 determines whether or not a difference in lap time (an example of a comparison result) for each reference distance satisfies a predetermined condition, and the notification unit 50 satisfies a predetermined condition for the difference in lap time for each reference distance. If it is determined, the difference in lap time for each reference distance may be notified. For example, the comparison unit 48 determines whether or not the difference in lap time for each reference distance exceeds a predetermined threshold, and the notification unit 50 notifies the difference in lap time when it is determined that the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold. It may be.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, information based on the comparison result between the elapsed time required for each reference distance and past history information can be notified to the user, and the comparison result satisfies a predetermined condition. Only when it is satisfied (for example, when the difference from the history information is larger than a predetermined value), information based on the comparison result can be notified to the user, and a more convenient measurement system can be provided. .

1-2. FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of the measurement system in the case of notifying the user of the input travel distance for each reference time based on the reference time input as the reference interval by the user. It is an example. In FIG. 6, the same components as those in FIG.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the user can input an arbitrary reference time as a reference interval using the input unit 20. For example, when the user wants to measure the travel distance every 10 minutes, “10 minutes” is input as the reference interval (reference time). The storage unit 30 stores the reference time input from the input unit 20 as a reference interval.

  The time measuring unit 44 starts measuring elapsed time in response to the measurement start signal SS from the distance measuring unit 42 and outputs the measured value to the determining unit 46. The determination unit 30 compares the elapsed time (measured value) measured by the time measuring unit 44 with the reference time stored as the reference interval in the storage unit 30, and determines whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the reference time. Determine whether. When determining that the elapsed time has reached the reference time, the determining unit 46 outputs a measurement stop signal ES to the distance measuring unit 42.

  In response to the measurement stop signal ES from the determination unit 46, the distance measurement unit 42 outputs the measured value when the measurement stop signal ES is received to the notification unit 50 as the travel distance for each reference time. Based on the measurement value output from the distance measurement unit 42, the notification unit 50 notifies the user of the travel distance for each reference time using voice information, text information, or image information.

  That is, when the user inputs an arbitrary reference time from the input unit 20 and travels with the measurement system 1 (may be walking), the travel distance for each input reference time is indicated to the user by voice, text, or image. As a result, the user can easily grasp the travel distance for each arbitrary reference time. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to notify the travel distance for each reference time based on the reference time arbitrarily set by the user, and to provide a more convenient measurement system. .

  FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example when the measurement system illustrated in FIG. 6 includes a measurement device and a notification device. In FIG. 7, the same components as those in FIGS. 2 and 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, as in the case illustrated in FIG. 2, the measurement system 1 includes a measurement device 2 and a notification device 4 that perform wireless communication with each other. In response to the measurement stop signal ES, the distance measurement unit 42 of the measurement device 2 outputs the measurement value at that time to the first wireless communication unit 60 as a travel distance for each reference time. The first wireless communication unit 60 transmits the measurement value from the distance measurement unit 42 to the second wireless communication unit 62 of the notification device 4 by wireless communication. The second wireless communication unit 62 receives the measurement value transmitted from the first wireless communication unit 60 and outputs it to the notification unit 50. The notification unit 50 notifies the user of the travel distance for each reference time based on the measurement value output from the second wireless communication unit 62 using voice information, character information, or image information. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the input unit 20 is configured to be included in the notification device 4, and the reference time input from the input unit 20 is used as the second wireless communication unit 62 and the first wireless communication unit 60. You may make it memorize | store in the memory | storage part 30 via.

  FIG. 8 is an example of a functional block diagram of the measurement system in the case where the travel distance for each reference time is compared with the history information and the comparison result is notified. In FIG. 8, the same components as those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the storage unit 30 of the measurement system 1 stores the travel distance for each reference time output from the distance measurement unit 42 as history information. As in the case shown in FIG. 4, the processing unit 40 of the measurement system 1 further includes a comparison unit 48. The comparison unit 48 compares the travel distance for each reference time output from the distance measurement unit 42 with the past history information stored in the storage unit 30 and outputs the comparison result to the notification unit 50. The notification unit 50 notifies the user of information (voice information, character information, or image information) based on the comparison result in the comparison unit 48. In the measurement system 1 illustrated in FIG. 7, the processing unit 40 of the measurement device 2 may be configured to include the comparison unit 48.

  For example, when “10 minutes” is set as the reference time, the travel distance every 10 minutes output from the distance measurement unit 42 is stored as history information, as shown in FIG. 9. Then, the comparison unit 48 calculates the difference between the travel distance of every 10 minutes output from the distance measurement unit 42 and the travel distance of the history information as shown in FIG. 9, and the notification unit 50 calculates by the comparison unit 48. The difference in travel distance every 10 minutes (an example of a comparison result) is notified by voice information, text information, or image information. Further, instead of notifying the difference in travel distance, it may be notified that the current travel distance every 10 minutes is greater than or less than the travel distance every 10 minutes of the history information. .

  The comparison unit 48 determines whether or not a difference in travel distance for each reference time (an example of a comparison result) satisfies a predetermined condition, and the notification unit 50 determines whether or not the difference in travel distance for each reference time satisfies a predetermined condition. When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, a difference in travel distance for each reference time may be notified. For example, the comparison unit 48 determines whether or not the difference in travel distance for each reference time exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and the notification unit 50 determines the travel distance for each reference time when it is determined that the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The difference may be notified.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user can be notified of information based on the comparison result between the travel distance for each reference time and the past history information, and the comparison result satisfies a predetermined condition. In this case, the information based on the comparison result can be notified to the user only when the difference with the history information is larger than a predetermined value (for example, a more convenient measurement system can be provided).

2. Processing Next, an example of processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 and 11.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process for notifying the elapsed time required for each input reference distance based on the reference distance input by the user as the reference interval.

  First, the distance measuring unit 42 determines whether the user has started traveling based on the output of the sensor 10 (step S10). When it is determined that the user has started traveling (Y in Step S10), the traveling distance of the user is measured based on the output of the sensor 10 (Step S12). Next, the time measuring unit 44 measures the elapsed time (step S14).

  Next, the determination unit 46 determines whether or not the travel distance measured by the distance measurement unit 42 has reached the reference distance stored in the storage unit 30 (step S16), and does not reach the reference distance. If it is determined (N in Step S16), the process proceeds to Step S12, and the measurement of the travel distance and the elapsed time is continued until the travel distance reaches the reference distance.

  When it is determined that the travel distance has reached the reference distance (Y in step S16), the timer unit 44 outputs the measured value as the elapsed time (lap lime for each reference distance) required for each reference distance, The notification unit 50 notifies the user of the elapsed time required for each reference distance based on the measurement value output from the time measuring unit 44 using voice information or the like (step S18).

  Next, the comparison unit 48 calculates a difference between the elapsed time required for each reference distance output from the time measuring unit 44 and the history information stored in the storage unit 30 (step S20), and the calculated difference is predetermined. It is determined whether or not the threshold value is exceeded (step S22). When it is determined that the predetermined threshold value is exceeded (Y in Step S22), the notification unit 50 notifies the user of the difference calculated by the comparison unit 20 by voice information or the like (Step S24). If it is determined that the calculated difference does not exceed the predetermined threshold (N in step S22), the process proceeds to step S26.

  Next, the distance measuring unit 42 determines whether or not the user has finished traveling based on the output of the sensor 10 (step S26), and when it is determined that the user has not finished traveling (N in step S26). The processing unit 40 saves the travel distance measured by the distance measuring unit 42 and the elapsed time measured by the time measuring unit 44 and resets it (step S28), and proceeds to the process of step S12. Thereafter, the processes in steps S12 to S28 are repeated until it is determined that the user has finished traveling.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing in the case of notifying the travel distance for each input reference time based on the reference time input by the user as the reference interval.

  First, the distance measuring unit 42 determines whether the user has started traveling based on the output of the sensor 10 (step S30). If it is determined that the user has started traveling (Y in step S30), the traveling distance of the user is measured based on the output of the sensor 10 (step S32). Next, the time measuring unit 44 measures the elapsed time (step S34).

  Next, the determination unit 46 determines whether or not the elapsed time measured by the time measuring unit 44 has reached the reference time stored in the storage unit 30 (step S36), and determines that the reference time has not been reached. If it is determined (N in step S36), the process proceeds to step S32, and the measurement of the travel distance and the elapsed time is continued until the elapsed time reaches the reference time.

  When it is determined that the elapsed time has reached the reference time (Y in step S36), the distance measurement unit 42 outputs the measurement value as a travel distance for each reference time, and the notification unit 50 displays the distance measurement unit 42. Based on the measurement value output from, the travel distance for each reference time is notified to the user by voice information or the like (step S38).

  Next, the comparison unit 48 calculates a difference between the travel distance for each reference time output from the distance measurement unit 42 and the history information stored in the storage unit 30 (step S40), and the calculated difference is a predetermined value. It is determined whether or not the threshold value is exceeded (step S42). When it is determined that the predetermined threshold value is exceeded (Y in Step S42), the notification unit 50 notifies the user of the difference calculated by the comparison unit 20 by voice information or the like (Step S44). If it is determined that the calculated difference does not exceed the predetermined threshold (N in step S42), the process proceeds to step S46.

  Next, the distance measuring unit 42 determines whether or not the user has finished traveling based on the output of the sensor 10 (step S46), and when it is determined that the user has not finished traveling (N in step S46). The processing unit 40 saves the travel distance measured by the distance measuring unit 42 and the elapsed time measured by the time measuring unit 44 and resets it (step S48), and proceeds to the process of step S32. Thereafter, the processes in steps S32 to S48 are repeated until it is determined that the user has finished traveling.

  The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
