For example, when the course A shown in FIG. 13 (A) is set, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, the latest placed along the course A in front of the user 7 (activity amount display device 5). 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 up to about 500 m ahead can be known.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates the total amount of activity up to the user's present time, taking into account current weather conditions, from the user's activity data (S354). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 20 calculates the amount of user activity per unit time Δt from the user activity data, and corrects the amount of user activity per unit time Δt according to the current weather conditions. To do. The current weather conditions are analyzed from, for example, weather data acquired from the weather measuring device 2 (meteorological measuring device 2a in the example of FIG. 16) located closest to the activity amount measuring terminal 5 in S352. The processing unit (CPU) 20 adds up the amount of user activity per unit time Δt after correction every time the unit time Δt elapses from the start of exercise, thereby calculating the total amount of user activity up to now. calculate.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 calculates the difference between the user's total activity amount up to the present and the target activity amount (S356), and calculates the sum of the activity amount up to the present and the target activity amount. From the difference, the remaining distance until the target activity amount is reached is calculated (estimated) (S358). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 20 divides the difference between the total activity amount of the user's current activity amount and the target activity amount by the user's activity amount per unit time Δt, thereby remaining the user's exercise amount. Calculate the time and estimate the remaining distance based on the current user's moving speed.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 corrects the remaining distance according to the current weather conditions ahead of the course (S360), and transmits the corrected remaining distance information to the information terminal 5 ( S362). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 20 has the N latest weather measurement devices 2 (five weather measurement devices 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d in the example of FIG. 16) arranged forward along the course in step S352. , 2e), analyzing the current weather conditions ahead of the course from the meteorological data and assuming that these weather conditions are maintained, or when the user passes the position of each weather measuring device 2 And the remaining distance calculated in step S358 is corrected.

  The processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 receives the corrected remaining distance information from the server 4 and displays it on the display unit 70 (S312). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 50, as shown in FIG. 17, the target activity distance, activity amount (activity amount up to the present), moving distance, exercise time, average speed, estimated remaining distance, estimated remaining 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.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines whether or not the activity amount of the user has reached the target activity amount (S364), and if it has reached (Y in S364), the result information and the target activity Information indicating that the amount has been reached is transmitted to the information terminal 5 (S368). When the target activity amount is reached (Y in S314), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 receives the result information and the information indicating that the target activity amount has been reached from the server 4, and has reached the target activity amount. This is notified to the user, and the result information is displayed on the display unit 70 (S318). The processing unit (CPU) 50 may notify that the target activity amount has been reached by displaying on the display unit 70, or may notify with sound when the information terminal 5 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. This result information is stored as result information (activity (372), movement distance (374), exercise time (376), average speed (378), etc.) of sub-data of the corresponding exercise history data.

  On the other hand, if the activity amount of the user has not reached the target activity amount (N in S364), the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 waits for the elapse of the unit time Δt (Y in S366), and S350 to S364. Repeat the process. When the target activity amount has not been reached (N in S314), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs the processes of S310 and S312 once again.

  When the activity amount measurement system 1 includes a plurality of information terminals 5, the server 4 performs the processing of FIG.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measurement system of the first embodiment, the server 4 analyzes the weather conditions using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of distributed weather measurement devices 2. Thus, it is possible to perform correction calculations such as the amount of activity, 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.

  In addition, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the user exercises in order for the server 4 to reach the target activity amount using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of distributed weather measurement devices 2. By selecting the course by correcting the target distance to be corrected, it is possible to present a suitable course for the user to exercise according to the target amount of activity. 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.

  In addition, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the server 4 uses the weather data measured by each of the plurality of weather measurement devices 2 distributed in consideration of the weather conditions that change in real time. The remaining distance and remaining time can be predicted. 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.

  Further, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the server 4 with high processing capability directly receives the weather data measured by a large number of weather measurement devices 2 without going through the information terminal 5, and the data ( User information, exercise history data, activity data, location information, etc.) and weather data are centrally managed, and the processing load of the information terminal 5 is reduced by centrally processing course selection and correction calculation of the remaining distance in consideration of weather conditions. It can be greatly reduced.

2-3. Process of activity measurement system [Overall process]
FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of overall processing of the activity amount measuring system 1.

  As in the first embodiment (FIG. 8), the activity amount measurement system 1 according to the present embodiment first sets user information and exercise target values after the activation of the information terminal 5 (initial setting process (S10)). Next, a course for the user to exercise is set (course setting process (S12)).

  Then, after the user starts exercising (Y in S14), the activity amount measurement system 1 measures the activity amount of the user (activity amount measurement process (S16)) and whether each user is at the danger level. A danger monitoring process (S18) for monitoring the above is performed.

  Since the initial setting process (S10), the course setting process (S12), and the activity amount measurement process (S16) are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. The server 4 performs the same processing as that shown in FIGS. 9B, 12B, and 15B for each information terminal 5.

[Danger monitoring process]
22A and 22B are diagrams illustrating an example of a flowchart of the danger monitoring process (the process of S18 in FIG. 21) of the activity amount measurement system 1. 22A shows an example of a flowchart of processing by the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5, and FIG. 22B shows an example of a flowchart of processing by the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4. FIG. The server 4 performs the process of FIG. 22B on each information terminal 5.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 acquires the biometric information of the user, transmits the terminal ID and activity data to the server 4 (S410), and the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 The terminal ID and the biometric information are received from 5 (S450).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines the physical condition level of the user from the activity amount of the user measured in the activity amount measurement process (S16), the user's current biological information, the current weather conditions, and the like. Is calculated, and it is determined whether or not it is a dangerous level (S452).

  If the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that the physical condition level of the user is not a dangerous level (N in S454), the transition of the physical condition level up to the present of the user, the current biological information of the user, the current position in front of the course The physical condition level of the user until after a predetermined time is predicted from the weather conditions and the like, and it is determined whether or not there is a possibility of reaching the dangerous level within the predetermined time (S456).

  Then, when the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that the physical condition level of the user is a dangerous level (Y in S454), or the physical condition level of the user may reach the dangerous level within a predetermined time. If it is determined that there is (Y in S458), the warning information is transmitted to the information terminal 5 of the user (the user in a dangerous state) (S460).

  When receiving the warning information from the server 4 (Y in S412), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 displays the warning information on the display unit 70 and outputs a specific warning sound from the sound output unit 74 ( S414) When the user (dangerous user) operates the operation unit 40 to perform a predetermined operation for canceling the alarm sound (Y in S416), the output of the alarm sound is stopped (S418). As the warning information, for example, biological information such as the heart rate and body temperature of the user (dangerous user), information for instructing pace down or stop, and the like are displayed on the display unit 70. Since the warning sound continues to sound until the specified operation is performed, the user (dangerous user) notices the warning sound and confirms the warning information display before exercising before falling into a serious state. Appropriate actions such as canceling can be taken.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 generates danger information including information such as the current position, activity amount, biological information, age, and sex of the user (dangerous user) (S462).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 identifies one or a plurality of other users near the user (dangerous user) (S464). Specifically, since the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 acquires the current position information of each information terminal 5 in the activity amount measurement process (S16), the user ( One or more other users closest to the (dangerous user) can be identified.

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 transmits the danger information to the information terminal 5 of the other user specified in step S464 (S466).

  When receiving the danger information from the server 4 (Y in S420), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 displays the danger information regarding the dangerous user on the display unit 70 and also provides relief from the sound output unit 74. When a specific relief request sound to be requested is output (S422) and a user (another user) operates the operation unit 40 to perform a predetermined operation for releasing the relief request sound (Y in S424), The output is stopped (S426). For example, as shown in FIG. 23, the display unit 70 displays a message for instructing relief, a map showing the position of the dangerous user, and the age, sex, activity amount, heart rate of the dangerous user. A screen 140 including biological information such as the number and body temperature is displayed. In the example of FIG. 23, in the map, the star 9a indicates the position of a dangerous user, the black triangle 9b indicates its own position, and the circle 9c indicates the position of a nearby user. Since the relief request sound continues to sound until the specified operation is performed, the user (other users) can notice the relief request sound and check the display of the danger information to help the user in the dangerous state. And take appropriate actions such as requesting relief.

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 waits for the unit time Δt to elapse (Y in S470) until the user finishes exercising (Y in S468), and repeats the processes in S450 to S466. Do.

  Similarly, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 waits for the elapse of the unit time Δt (Y in S430) until the user finishes exercising (until Y in S428), and performs the processing in S410 to S426. Repeat.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measurement system of the second embodiment, the server 4 analyzes weather conditions using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of weather measurement devices 2 arranged in a distributed manner, While correcting each user's activity amount in real time according to the weather conditions, analyze each user's activity amount and the transition of biological information to determine whether each user is in a dangerous state or fall into a dangerous state Predict possibilities. In particular, even if the user performs the same exercise, the amount of activity varies greatly depending on the weather conditions such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc., so the determination and the prediction are performed accurately by correcting the activity amount according to the weather conditions. be able to. Furthermore, since the server 4 transmits the danger information to the information terminal 5 of another user near the user in the dangerous state and requests the rescue, the other user promptly identifies the user in the dangerous state. It becomes possible to rescue. 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 that the prediction accuracy can be improved.

  Further, according to the activity amount measurement system of the second embodiment, the server 4 transmits warning information to the information terminal 5 of the user who may fall into a dangerous state, so that the user is in a dangerous state. You can take appropriate actions such as slowing down or stopping. Further, when the user is in a dangerous state, the release operation cannot be performed and the alarm sound continues to sound. Therefore, a person in the vicinity of the user (not necessarily the user of the activity amount measurement system 1 may be required). ) Can be noticed and rescued.

  On the other hand, a user who has received a relief request may be overpaced trying to rush to a dangerous user as soon as possible, and may be in a dangerous state. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the server 4 monitors the physical condition level of each user in real time and warns not only the information terminal 5 of the dangerous user but also the information terminal 5 of the user who received the rescue request. Since the information is transmitted, the user who has received the relief request can confirm the display on the information terminal 5 and proceed to the relief while taking into account his / her physical condition.

  In addition, according to the activity amount measurement system of the second embodiment, the server 4 with high processing capacity directly receives the weather data measured by a large number of weather measurement devices 2 without using the information terminal 5, and data related to the user (User information, exercise history data, activity data, location information, etc.) and weather data are centrally managed, and the processing load on the information terminal 5 is greatly increased by centrally processing judgments and predictions of dangerous conditions taking weather conditions into account. Can be reduced.

  Note that the processes of S462, S464, and S466 may be performed only when the danger level is determined in step S452 of FIG. 22B (Y of S454). That is, for a user who is determined to be at the danger level, the warning information is sent to the user and the danger information is sent to other users. The warning information may be transmitted only to the user, and the danger information may not be transmitted to other users. Alternatively, if the risk level is not determined in step S452 in FIG. 22B (N in S454) and the risk level is determined in step S456 (Y in S458), are the processes of S462, S464, and S466 performed? It may be possible for each user to set whether or not.

  In this way, only the danger information about the currently dangerous user is sent to other users, so the possibility of the other users ignoring the danger information becomes low and the rescue operation can be carried out hard. I can expect.

3. Third Embodiment 3-1. Outline of Activity Quantity Measurement System FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the activity quantity measurement system of the third embodiment. In the activity amount measurement system of the second embodiment, the server 4 transmits the danger information to each of the information terminals 5a, 5b, and 5c of all the users 7a, 7b, and 7c near the dangerous user 7a. However, some of the information terminals 5a, 5b, and 5c may not be able to receive the danger information due to a poor communication network environment or radio wave reception environment. Therefore, in the activity amount measurement system of the third embodiment, the information terminal 5 that has received the danger information transfers the danger information by performing inter-terminal communication with one or a plurality of other information terminals 5 that are within the reach of the radio wave. . For example, when only the information terminal 5b of the user 7b receives danger information related to the dangerous user 7a, the information terminal 5b performs inter-terminal communication with the information terminal 5c that is within a distance where radio waves reach, and the information terminal 5c is in danger. Transfer information. Furthermore, the information terminal 5c performs terminal-to-terminal communication with the information terminal 5d that is within the reach of the radio wave, and transfers the danger information to the information terminal 5d. In this way, the information terminal 5 that has received the danger information repeatedly communicates the danger information to the other information terminals 5 by performing inter-terminal communication, thereby informing the danger information to many users reliably and quickly. Can do. Note that the information terminal 5a of the user 7a in a dangerous state may also be a target for inter-terminal communication.

A process of transferring to another information terminal 5 through the communication unit 76 is performed.

3-3. Process of activity measurement system [Overall process]
Since the flowchart of the whole process of the active mass measurement system 1 of 3rd Embodiment is the same as that of 2nd Embodiment (FIG. 21), illustration and description are abbreviate | omitted.

  Further, the initial setting process (S10), the course setting process (S12), and the activity amount measuring process (S16) are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted. The server 4 performs the same processing as that shown in FIGS. 9B, 12B, and 15B for each information terminal 5.

[Danger monitoring process]
FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of the danger monitoring process (the process of S18 of FIG. 21) by the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5. Note that the flowchart of the danger monitoring process (the process of S18 in FIG. 21) by the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 is the same as that in the second embodiment (FIG. 22B), and thus illustration and description thereof are omitted. .

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs the processing of S510 to S518 as in the second embodiment (the processing of S410 to S418 in FIG. 22A).

  Next, when the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 receives danger information from the server 4 or another information terminal 5 (Y in S420), the second embodiment (S422 to S426 in FIG. 22A). In the same manner as in (No.), the processing of S522 to S526 is performed, and then another information terminal 5 capable of communication is searched (S528).

  The processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 finds another information terminal that can communicate (Y in S530), and does not pass through the server 4 with the other information terminal 5 so-called P2P (Peer To Peer) wireless communication is performed, and danger information is transmitted to the other information terminal 5. Then, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 waits for the elapse of the unit time Δt (Y in S536) until the user finishes exercising (until Y in S534), and performs the processing of S510 to S532. Repeat.

  The processing unit (CPU) 50 of the other information terminal 5 to which the danger information has been transmitted receives the danger information (Y in S520), and after the danger information display and relief request sound output process (S422). The other information terminal 5 that can communicate is searched (S528), and if there is another information terminal 5 that can communicate, the danger information is further transmitted to the other terminal 5. In this way, danger information propagates to a plurality of information terminals 5.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measurement system of the third embodiment, the information terminal 5 that cannot receive the danger information from the server 4 because the communication network is bad or the radio wave reception environment from the server 4 is bad. Even if there is, there is a possibility that danger information can be received from another information terminal 5. Furthermore, the risk information can be notified to many users reliably and quickly by repeatedly performing the inter-terminal communication and transferring the risk information to the other information terminals 5 by the information terminal 5 that has received the risk information. . Thereby, since the user of a dangerous state can be rescued quickly, a lifesaving rate can be raised.

  In particular, if the user who forms the information terminal 5 that has received the danger information heads to rescue a user in a dangerous state, the user approaches another user who is closer to the user in the dangerous state. Even if the information terminal 5 has not received the danger information from the server 4, the danger information can be received by inter-terminal communication. As a result, the user who is closer to the dangerous user can go to rescue.

FIG. The server 4 performs the processing of FIG. 28B for each information terminal 5.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs the processing of S610 as in the second embodiment (the processing of S410 in FIG. 22A), and the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 Similar to the second embodiment (the processes of S450 to S458 in FIG. 22B), the processes of S650 to S658 are performed.

  Then, when the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that the user's physical condition level is a dangerous level (Y in S654), or the user's physical condition level may reach the dangerous level within a predetermined time. If it is determined that there is (Y in S658), medical reference information including information such as the user's age, sex, height, weight, activity amount, transition of biological information, personal medical information, etc. is generated (S660), and the user Warning information and medical reference information are transmitted to the information terminal 5 (S662). The processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 subsequently performs the processing of S664 to S668 similarly to the second embodiment (the processing of S462 to S466 in FIG. 22B) until the user finishes the exercise. The process of S650 to S668 is repeatedly performed after the unit time Δt has elapsed (Y in S672) (until Y in S670).

  On the other hand, when receiving the warning information and the medical reference information from the server 4 (Y in S612), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 stores the received medical reference information (S614) and displays the warning information. At the same time, an alarm sound is output (S616). When the user (a user in a dangerous state) performs a predetermined operation for canceling the alarm sound (Y in S618), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 stops the output of the alarm sound (S620), step The medical reference information stored in S614 is deleted (S622). If the user can cancel the alarm sound by himself / herself, it is not a serious condition, and thus the medical reference information can be automatically deleted to prevent unnecessary leakage of personal information.

  And the process part (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs the process of S624-S630 similarly to 2nd Embodiment (process of S422-S428 of FIG. 22 (A)) until a user complete | finishes an exercise | movement. The process of S610 to S630 is repeated after the elapse of the unit time Δt (until S632 Y) (Y in S634).

  The motion detection sensor 78 is a sensor that detects the motion of the user carrying the information terminal 5, and may be a motion sensor such as an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor, or may be an atmospheric pressure sensor. When a motion sensor is used, it can be determined that there is a possibility that the user has fallen and injured if almost no motion is detected immediately after detecting a large motion. If the pressure sensor is used, for example, if the pressure does not change almost immediately after the pressure increases by about 10 Pa, it is considered that the pressure sensor has moved to a position lower by about 1 m, so the user may have fallen and injured. It can be judged.

A process for causing the sound output unit 74 to output a relief request sound for requesting the rescue of the sound is performed. Also, when the sound output control unit 54 receives warning information for a user who may have fallen, the sound output unit 54 until the user who may have fallen operates the operation unit 40 to perform a release operation. A process for causing the alarm sound to be continuously output to 74 may be performed.

Server configuration
FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the server 4 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 30, in the present embodiment, the server 4 includes a processing unit (CPU) 20, a storage unit 30, a recording medium 32, and a communication unit 34. The server 4 of the present embodiment may have a configuration in which some of the components (each unit) in FIG. 30 are omitted or other components are added. Since the functions of the storage unit 30, the recording medium 32, and the communication unit 34 are the same as those in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  The processing unit (CPU) 20 receives the motion data via the communication unit 34 and performs various calculation processes in addition to the same processing as in the first and second embodiments. In addition, the processing unit (CPU) 20 performs processing for generating danger information related to a user who may have fallen, processing for transmitting warning information and danger information to the information terminal 5 via the communication unit 64, and the like.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the processing unit (CPU) 20 includes a weather data acquisition unit 21, an activity data acquisition unit 22, a position information acquisition unit 23, an activity amount calculation unit 24, a route candidate selection unit 25, and a target attainment value calculation unit. 26, a communication control unit 27, a biological information acquisition unit 35, a physical condition level determination unit 36, a danger information generation unit 37, a motion data acquisition unit 38, and a fall determination unit 39.

The weather data acquisition unit 21, the activity data acquisition unit 22, the position information acquisition unit 23, the activity amount calculation unit 24, the route candidate selection unit 25, the target arrival value calculation unit 26, the biological information acquisition unit 35, and the physical condition level determination unit 36 Since the function is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The motion data acquisition unit 38 continuously acquires the motion data of each user sent from the communication unit 34 (the motion data acquired by each information terminal 5 from each user) in association with the identification ID of the information terminal 5. Perform the process. Specifically, the motion data acquisition unit 38 receives each motion data, and stores the received motion data in the storage unit 30 in order in association with the identification ID assigned to each information terminal 5.

  The fall determination unit 39 determines whether each user has fallen based on the movement data of each user. For example, the fall determination unit 39 may determine that the user has fallen when the motion data changes abruptly and maintains a substantially constant value.

  In addition to the process similar to 2nd Embodiment, the danger information generation part 37 produces | generates the danger information regarding the user who may have fallen based on the determination result of the fall determination part 39. FIG.

A process of transmitting to the information terminal 5 carried by the user is performed. Further, the communication control unit 27 may perform a process of transmitting warning information to the information terminal 5 carried by the user who may have fallen through the communication unit 34.

5-3. Process of activity measurement system [Overall process]
Since the flowchart of the overall processing of the activity amount measurement system 1 of the fifth embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment (FIG. 21), illustration and description thereof are omitted.

  Further, the initial setting process (S10), the course setting process (S12), and the activity amount measuring process (S16) are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted. The server 4 performs the same processing as that shown in FIGS. 9B, 12B, and 15B for each information terminal 5.

[Danger monitoring process]
FIG. 31A and FIG. 31B are diagrams illustrating an example of a flowchart of the danger monitoring process (the process of S18 of FIG. 21) of the activity amount measuring system 1. FIG. 31A shows an example of a flowchart of processing by the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5, and FIG. 31B shows an example of a flowchart of processing by the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4. FIG. The server 4 performs the process of FIG. 31B for each information terminal 5.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 acquires the user's biometric information and motion data, transmits the terminal ID, biometric information, and motion data to the server 4 (S710), and the processing unit (CPU) of the server 4 ) 20 receives the terminal ID, biometric information, and motion data from the information terminal 5 (S750).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 performs the processing of S752 to S758 similarly to the second embodiment (the processing of S452 to S458 of FIG. 22B), and the physical condition level of the user is a predetermined time. If it is determined that there is no possibility of reaching the danger level within (Y in S758), it is then determined whether or not the user has fallen from the transition of the motion data up to the present time of the user (S760).

  When the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines that the user's physical condition level is a dangerous level (Y in S754), the user's physical condition level may reach the dangerous level within a predetermined time. If it is determined (Y in S758), or if the user may have fallen (Y in S762), warning information is transmitted to the information terminal 5 of the user (dangerous user) (S760).

  When the warning information is received from the server 4 (Y in S712), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs S714 to S714 similarly to the second embodiment (the processes in S414 to S418 in FIG. 22B). The process of S718 is performed.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 includes information such as the current position, activity amount, biological information, age, and sex of the user (a user in a dangerous state or a user who may have fallen). Information is generated (S766), one or more other users in the vicinity of the user (a user in danger or a user who may have fallen) are identified (S768), and information of the identified other users is identified The danger information is transmitted to the terminal 5 (S770).

  When the risk information is received from the server 4 (Y in S720), the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 performs S722 to S722 as in the second embodiment (the processes in S422 to S426 in FIG. 22B). The process of S726 is performed.

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of the information terminal 5 waits for the unit time Δt to elapse (Y in S730) until the user finishes exercising (Y in S728), and performs the processes in S710 to S726. Repeat.

  Similarly, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 waits for the unit time Δt (Y in S774) until the user finishes exercising (until Y in S772), and performs the processing in S750 to S770. Repeat.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measurement system of the fifth embodiment, the server 4 transmits the danger information to the information terminal 5 of another user near the user who may have fallen and rescues it. Therefore, it is possible to quickly rescue a user who may have fallen the other user.

  Moreover, according to the activity amount measurement system of the fifth embodiment, the server 4 transmits warning information to the information terminal 5 of the user who may have fallen, and the information terminal 5 that has received the warning information sounds an alarm sound. Therefore, if the user actually falls and is injured, if the alarm sound release operation is not performed, a person close to the user (not the user of the activity amount measurement system 1) Can also be rescued.

  It should be noted that the processing of S766, S768, and S770 is performed only when the risk level is determined in step S752 in FIG. 31B (Y in S754) or when it is determined in step S760 that the user has fallen (Y in S762). May be performed. In other words, for a user who is determined to be at the danger level or falls, the warning information is sent to the user and the danger information is sent to other users, and the danger level may be reached within a predetermined time. May send warning information to the user but not send danger information to other users. Alternatively, if the risk level is not determined in step S752 in FIG. 31B (N in S754) and the risk level is determined in step S756 (Y in S758), are the processes of S766, S768, and S770 performed? It may be possible for each user to set whether or not.

  In this way, only the danger information about the user who is currently in danger or falls is sent to other users, so the possibility of the other users ignoring the danger information is low, and the rescue operation is hard. I can expect that.

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

[Modification 1]
The 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 the past results together with the weather conditions. In addition, course candidates may be selected. 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]
As shown in FIG. 32, 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, selection of course candidates, calculation of the remaining distance (remaining time), judgment and prediction of the danger level, etc. can be performed with higher accuracy.

[Modification 3]
In this embodiment, the server 4 determines whether or not the physical condition level of each user is a dangerous level, and other users who are at a dangerous level or close to a user who may reach a dangerous level within a predetermined time. However, the processing unit (CPU) 20 of the server 4 determines the risk level of each user in a plurality of stages according to the risk level, and includes the risk level according to the determination result. Information may be transmitted. Then, when receiving the danger information, the processing unit (CPU) 50 of each information terminal 5 changes the display of the user's position according to the degree of danger (for example, changes the color according to the degree of danger). May be. In this way, for example, when a plurality of users are at the risk level at the same time, other users (users near one of the users at the risk level) see the display on the portable information terminal 5 and It is possible to perform actions such as preferentially rescue users with high risk. Also,
Similarly, in this embodiment, the server 4 determines whether or not each user's physical condition level is a dangerous level, and warns a user who is at the dangerous level or may reach a dangerous level within a predetermined time. Although the information is transmitted, the server 4 determines the physical condition level of each user at a plurality of levels (for example, three levels of normal level, caution level, and danger level) and does not go to the dangerous level. The warning information may be transmitted to a user who reaches (for example, a caution level) or may reach the predetermined level within a predetermined time.

[Modification 4]
In this embodiment, the user may be able to set various options. For example, as shown in FIG. 33, items that can be set by each user such as emergency contact (290), risk management level (292), group (294), etc., for the user information shown in FIG. May be added.

  The emergency contact information (290) is information such as a telephone number or an e-mail address for emergency contact when a user is in a dangerous state. For example, the server 4 is set when transmitting danger information to other users. You may make it notify the information of the same content to the made emergency contact address. For example, when a user runs alone in a place where there are few people, there may be no other users nearby when it becomes dangerous, so at home, lifesaving center, mobile phone company, etc. By setting a call center or the like as an emergency contact, it is possible to request relief immediately when a dangerous situation occurs.

  The risk management level (292) is information for changing the determination threshold value of the risk level. For example, the higher the risk management level, the lower the determination threshold value. For example, if the user is an expert in exercise such as running, the risk management level can be set low because the user can determine to some extent whether or not it is dangerous. If the user is a beginner, the risk management level is set to the highest level. Setting is possible.

  The group (292) is information for limiting the users who may transmit the danger information, and the server 4 transmits the danger information only to users belonging to the same group. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an unspecified user from knowing personal information.

[Modification 5]
In this embodiment, the information terminal 5 outputs a warning sound or a rescue request sound when receiving warning information or danger information, but instead of outputting these sounds or together with outputting these sounds, The information terminal 5 may be vibrated to notify the user that warning information or danger information has been received.

[Modification 6]
In the present embodiment, the server 4 may transmit the danger information to the information terminal 5 of another user after a predetermined time after transmitting the warning information to the information terminal 5 of the dangerous user. For example, the information terminal 5 that has received the warning information transmits, to the server 4, information indicating that no relief is necessary when the user performs an operation for canceling the warning sound, and the server 4 sends the warning information to the information terminal 5. If the information indicating that the rescue is unnecessary is received within a predetermined time after transmitting the message, the danger information may not be transmitted to the information terminal 5 of the other user. Further, after transmitting the danger information to the information terminal 5 of another user, the server 4 transmits the danger information when receiving information indicating that no relief is required from the information terminal 5 of the dangerous user. Information indicating that no relief is required may be transmitted to the information terminal 5, and the information terminal 5 may display information indicating that no relief is required and output a specific sound.

[Modification 7]
In the present embodiment, the server 4 generates navigation information based on the selected course information and each user's position information and transmits the navigation information to each information terminal 5. Each information terminal 5 receives the navigation information. Then, it may be displayed on the display unit 70 and output as audio. In this way, it is not necessary for the user to remember the course to be exercised, and the probability of mistaken the course to be exercised can be reduced.

  Similarly, in the present embodiment, the server 4 is based on the position information of the dangerous user and the position information of the user requesting the rescue (other user), and the dangerous user from the position of the other user. Navigation information indicating the route to the position of the user is generated and transmitted to the information terminal 5 of the other user, and the information terminal 5 receives the navigation information, displays it on the display unit 70, and outputs the sound. Also good. In this way, the other user can quickly reach the dangerous user, and the lifesaving rate of the dangerous user can be increased.

[Modification 8]
In this embodiment, when the response signal indicating that the warning information has been received cannot be obtained from the information terminal 5 that has transmitted the warning information, the server 4 transmits the warning information to the other information terminals 5 and transmits the warning information. The information terminal 5 that has received the information may further forward the warning information to another information terminal 5 through inter-terminal communication. In this way, even when the information terminal 5 of the dangerous user cannot receive the warning information due to the poor reception environment of the radio wave, the warning information is received from the other information terminals 5. There is a possibility of receiving.

[Modification 9]
In the third embodiment, as the number of users increases, the transfer of the danger information by the communication between terminals is repeated, and the danger information is also quickly transmitted to the information terminal 5 of the user located far away from the dangerous user. To reach. Then, when the information terminal 5 located near the lifesaving facility such as a hospital, a call center, or a police station receives the risk information, the risk information may be automatically transferred to a computer installed in the facility. In this way, even if other users heading for the rescue of dangerous users cannot reach the lifesaving facility, the location information of the dangerous user is transmitted to the lifesaving facility, and quick lifesaving is achieved. We can expect activity.
