Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are given. However, the scope of the present invention is particularly limited in the following description. Unless otherwise stated, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an exercise amount measuring apparatus according to the present invention, for example, an activity meter 10 and a terminal device, for example, an exercise amount measuring system having a doctor side terminal 100 and a subject side terminal 200. FIG.
The activity meter 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a device that measures the amount of activity (exercise amount) of a human body. When the subject who wants to measure possesses it, the activity meter 10 moves along with the movement of the subject's body, and the amount of exercise is measured. It is configured to measure.

  Specifically, an X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis acceleration sensor is included therein, and the acceleration information detected by these acceleration sensors (so-called three-axis acceleration sensor) is, for example, X-axis acceleration data, Y-axis acceleration. The average triaxial acceleration data is detected from the data and the Z axis acceleration data, and the momentum is measured from the acceleration data.

Traditionally, walking is considered good for health, and 10,000 steps per day were recommended, but in recent years it has been important to improve lifestyle-related diseases through exercise. Activity. This “medium intensity” activity is a quick walk in walking, but it is difficult to grasp the amount of exercise.
Therefore, in recent years, there is “METs” as a standard of the amount of exercise (physical activity) determined by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the like, and it is trying to objectively measure the amount of exercise with this Met.
This “Met” is an example of “exercise level information”. For example, Met is classified from 0.9 Met to 15 Met, and “0.9 Met” is the amount of exercise in sleep or the like, “1.0 Met”. "" Is the amount of exercise when listening to music, watching movies, etc., "2.0 mets" is the amount of exercise in cooking, "3.0 mets" is the amount of exercise such as car washing, "4.0 mets" is the amount of exercise during garden cleaning, etc. .0 Mets ”is defined as the amount of exercise when playing with children.

The above-mentioned “medium-level activity” based on this Met's standard differs depending on the gender, age, and other attributes of the target person (user of the activity meter 10). For example, in the case of “3 Mets” It becomes the momentum that the person continues “car wash” for “20 minutes”.
However, human exercises and activities do not necessarily perform the exercises exemplified in the Mets standards. In addition, “medium intensity exercise” is a concept that varies depending on the gender, age, etc. of the subject. For this reason, the number of mets corresponding to “medium intensity exercise” differs depending on the gender, age, etc. of the subject. become.

  For example, as will be described later, the “medium number of mets” in the case of “male” and “under 45 years old” is “5 to 7 mets”. In the case of “above”, “2 to 5 mets” is obtained, and the same “medium intensity exercise” is obtained even with a much smaller amount of exercise than the former “under 45 years old”.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the exercise of the subject possessing the activity meter 10 is within the metz range corresponding to the “medium intensity activity” determined from the attribute, etc. These are displayed.
Thereby, the subject who possesses the active mass meter 10 can easily determine whether or not his / her exercise or the like is a preferable exercise amount for improving lifestyle-related diseases.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the activity meter 10 of FIG. Hereinafter, the main configuration of the activity meter 10 shown in FIG. 2 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment has, for example, an activity meter-side display 11 that is a display unit made up of a substantially circular LED or the like at the center.
As shown in FIG. 2, the activity meter-side display 11 includes a time display 12 for displaying time data, a mets data for displaying the above-described mets data for every two minutes of a measurement subject (hereinafter referred to as “subject”), and the like. A display 13 is provided.

The Mets display 13 is configured to display “Banzai mark”, “OK mark”, and the like by displaying characters when the target is achieved, in addition to Mets data.
The activity meter-side display 11 also has a flame display 14 that is displayed when the above-described “medium intensity” Met's movement is achieved.

In addition, the activity meter side display 11 includes an achievement gauge 15 that is an achievement degree information display unit that displays an achievement degree with respect to a target such as a medium intensity activity time arranged in an arc shape. The achievement gauge 15 is configured such that the progress until the goal is achieved is displayed by lighting or the like. Details of these display contents will be described later.
In addition, the activity meter 1 of FIG. 2 has a setting change button 16 and a memory call button 17 arranged on the outside thereof.

As shown in FIG. 1, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment includes, for example, a non-contact IC (integrated circuit) card 18 that is a communication device. The non-contact type IC card 18 communicates with the doctor-side terminal 100 such as a doctor in charge at the hospital of the subject who uses the activity meter 10 or the subject-side terminal 200 used by the subject at home or the like. Possible doctor-side terminal lead / writers 103 and subject-side terminal lead / writers 203 are respectively arranged.
When the non-contact type IC card 18 of the activity meter 10 is brought close to the doctor-side terminal lead / writer 103 or the subject-side terminal lead / writer 203, a carrier is transmitted from the doctor-side terminal lead / writer 103, etc. Power is supplied to the non-contact type IC card 18 by induction, and communication can be performed between each other by modulation of the carrier.
In such data communication, for example, non-contact communication means at a short distance of about 10 cm (for example, power saving IC communication technology of ISO / IEC 14443, communication technology of ISO / IEC 18092, Felica (Sony Corporation) (Registered trademark) communication technology, etc. Specifically, communication is performed with an RFID reader / writer 103 that is disposed in a hospital or the like and connected to a dedicated terminal (doctor-side terminal 100 or the like) handled by a doctor or the like. In Felica's communication technology, communication is performed using radio waves of 13.56 MHz, and communication at 100 to 400 kbps is performed in a non-contact manner at a very short distance up to about 10 cm.

  For this reason, as described later, data in the activity meter 10 can be transmitted to the doctor terminal 100 and the subject terminal 200, and information can be transmitted from the doctor terminal 100 or the like to the activity meter 10. It has a configuration that can.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the doctor side terminal 100 includes a doctor side terminal display 101 that displays various types of information and a doctor side terminal input device 102 that inputs various types of information. The subject side terminal display 201 and the subject side terminal input device 202 are provided.

  The active mass meter 10, the doctor-side terminal 100, and the subject-side terminal 200 shown in FIG. 1 have a computer, and the computer includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a ROM (Read Only Memory). Etc.) and these are connected via a bus.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the main configuration of the activity meter 10 of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the activity meter 10 has an “activity meter control unit 19”. The activity meter 19 includes a “timer 20” that generates time information, a “step counter 21” that counts the number of steps of the target person, and an acceleration information detection unit that generates average acceleration data of the movement of the target. For example, the “average acceleration data generating device 22” is controlled.
As shown in FIG. 3, the average acceleration data generation device 22 includes an “X-axis acceleration sensor 22a”, a “Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b”, and a “Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c”. “Average acceleration data (m / s ² )” is generated.
The average acceleration data generation device 22 may be a so-called three-axis acceleration sensor in which the X-axis acceleration sensor 22a, the Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b, and the Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c are integrated.

Moreover, the active mass meter control part 19 controls the active mass side display 11 shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. For this reason, the time display 12, Mets etc. display 13, flame display 14, achievement gauge 15 and the like shown in FIG.
Further, the activity meter control unit 19 controls the “setting change button 16” and the “memory call button 17” which are function buttons shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the “non-contact type” shown in FIGS. The IC card 18 "is also controlled.

In addition, the activity amount control unit 19 determines an “altimeter 23” that measures altitude information of the activity meter 10 and, for example, the type of exercise related to the amount of exercise that the activity meter 10 measures, specifies, and switches automatically. For example, the “operation mode switching device 24”, which is a possible exercise type specifying unit, is also controlled. Instead of the “driving mode switching device 24”, the function button “setting change button 16” or the like may be manually selected from the walking mode, the bicycle mode, the mountain climbing mode, and the swimming mode. In this case, it is not necessary for the activity meter 10 to be entirely liquid-tight in the swimming mode.
The types of these exercises are, for example, walking, bicycle, mountain climbing, and swimming, and these exercises are specified as a walking mode, a bicycle mode, a mountain climbing mode, and a swimming mode.
That is, the preferred method of grasping the amount of exercise differs depending on the difference in exercise such as walking, cycling, mountain climbing, or swimming. Therefore, for the purpose of informing the activity meter 10 from the outside, “driving” A mode switching device 24 "is provided.
The “altimeter 23” is used in a mountain climbing mode as described later.

Furthermore, the activity meter control unit 19 includes the “first various information storage unit 30”, the “second various information storage unit 50”, the “third various information storage unit 70”, and the “fourth information” shown in FIG. The "various information storage unit 80", "fifth various information storage unit 90", "sixth various information storage unit 300" and "seventh various information storage unit 310" are also controlled.
4 to 10 are respectively “first various information storage unit 30”, “second various information storage unit 50”, “third various information storage unit 70”, and “fourth various information storage unit”. 80 ”and“ fifth various information storage unit 90 ”,“ sixth various information storage unit 300 ”, and“ seventh various information storage unit 310 ”are schematic block diagrams showing the configuration. Will be described later.

  11 to 20 are schematic flowcharts showing main operations and the like of the activity meter 10 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation and the like of the activity meter 10 will be described along the flowcharts of FIGS. 11 to 20, and the configurations of FIGS. 1 and 10 will be described.

First, a subject who wishes to measure his / her exercise amount, activity amount, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “exercise amount”) carries the activity meter 10 shown in FIG. 1 and turns on the power source of the activity meter 10. Then, the active mass meter 1 is put into an operating state.
In the present embodiment, the activity meter 10 automatically sets “medium intensity METs” that are the amount of exercise appropriate for the subject based on attributes such as sex and age of the subject who uses the activity meter 10. Since it is a defined configuration, input of predetermined information is required before use.

  Specifically, in step ST (hereinafter referred to as “ST”) 1 in FIG. 11, “date of input”, “age of subject (years)”, “weight of subject (kg)”, “ For example, “target person's height (m)”, “subject's gender (male, female)”, and target step count information such as “target step count (steps) of subject” are input.

  Specifically, the subject or the like operates the setting change button 16 or the like in FIGS. 2 and 3 to input each data. The input data is “first various input information storage” in FIG. Stored in the “subject input information storage unit 31” of the “part 30”.

When the input of each data is completed in ST1, the process proceeds to ST2. In ST2, BMI (Body Mass Index) information of the subject person is generated from the height (m) and weight (kg) data of the subject person, and “subject BMI information storage unit 32” in FIG. Remember me.
This BMI information is an index for measuring a so-called “obesity degree”. In the present embodiment, since the BMI information is used as a parameter when determining the optimum “medium strength METs” range of the subject, it is obtained in ST2.

  Specifically, the “subject BMI information generation processing unit (program) 71” of the “third various information storage unit 70” in FIG. 6 operates, and the formula “weight (kg) / height (m) of the BMI information” The data of the height (m) and the weight (kg) of the subject in the “subject input information storage unit 31” in FIG.

Next, the process proceeds to ST3. In ST3, a “range of medium strength METs” suitable for the user is determined.
Specifically, the “subject gender medium strength METs range etc. information generation processing section (program) 72” of FIG. 6 operates, and the “subject input information storage section 31” of FIG. And “target person's age information” and “subject BMI information” are acquired from the “subject BMI information storage unit 32”. Then, refer to “Gender Medium Strength METs Range etc. Information Storage Unit 33” in FIG.

FIG. 21 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing “gender medium strength METs range etc. information 33a” stored in advance in “gender medium strength METs range etc. information storage unit 33”.
The “sex medium strength METs range information 33a” shown in FIG. 21 is first gender-specific data (FIG. 21 is data for “male”), and the range of the METs is determined by age and BMI information. It is fixed.
Among these, the “medium intensity” mets is an example of the target exercise amount information that the subject should make the exercise amount target.

Then, a range of “low strength” and “high strength” is defined across the range of “medium strength”. The range of “low intensity” is a range where the subject has a small amount of exercise, and the range of “high intensity” is a case where the amount of exercise is excessive.
Thus, an appropriate amount of exercise is not appropriate if it is too much or too little, and it is important to continue exercise within the “medium intensity” METs range.
Note that the “medium intensity” METs range, etc., classified by each age, BMI, and the like in FIG. 21 is an example of attribute-specific target exercise amount information.

  Therefore, in ST3, the “subject gender medium strength METs range etc. information generation processing unit (program) 72” obtains “subject gender information”, “subject age information” and “subject” as described above. Based on the “BMI information”, “gender medium intensity METs range etc. information 33a” is referred to, and “intermediate intensity METs range information” (an example of attribute-specific target exercise amount information) of the subject is determined.

  For example, when the age of the subject is “65 years or older” and “BMI is less than 25”, the range from “gender medium strength METs range information 33a” to “medium strength METs” in FIG. 6 METs ”is stored in the“ subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34 ”in FIG.

Next, the process proceeds to ST4. In ST4, based on the target step count information input by the subject in ST1, the execution time of the amount of exercise in the range of “medium strength METs” of the subject is determined.
Specifically, the “subject person medium strength METs time information identification processing unit (program) 73” in FIG. 6 operates, and “target step count” data in the “subject input information storage unit 31” in FIG. Step data is acquired, and the “step count corresponding medium intensity METs range time information storage unit 35” in FIG. 4 is referred to.
The “number of steps corresponding medium intensity METs range time information storage unit 35” stores exercise time information (for example, 20 minutes) of “medium intensity METs” corresponding to the number of steps information (8000 steps).

  Therefore, the “target person medium strength METs time information specifying processing unit (program) 73” refers to the “step count corresponding medium strength METs range time information storage unit 35” and corresponds to the acquired “target step count” data (8000 steps). Exercise time information (an example of step number-corresponding medium intensity METs range time information and target exercise amount execution time information) (20 minutes) is acquired and stored in the “subject medium intensity METs time information storage unit 36” in FIG.

  This completes the preparation before the subject uses the activity meter 10. That is, the range of “medium strength METs” of the subject is set as “3 to 6 METs” and stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” of FIG. 4 and corresponds to the step count information (8000 steps). The exercise time information (for example, 20 minutes) of “medium strength METs” to be stored is stored in the “number of steps corresponding medium strength METs range time information storage unit 35”.

Next, when the subject starts exercising, the process proceeds to ST5. In ST5, for example, the “speed information determination processing unit (program) 92” of the “fifth various information storage unit 90” in FIG. 8 operates as the exercise type identification unit, and the “average acceleration data generation device in FIG. 22, “X-axis acceleration sensor 22a”, “Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b”, “Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c” data, and “speed determination information storage unit 93” in FIG.
The “speed determination information storage unit 93” stores predetermined speed data that the activity meter 10 can estimate as a bicycle run.

Accordingly, the “speed information determination processing unit (program) 92” uses the “speed data” acquired from the “X-axis acceleration sensor 22a”, “Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b”, and “Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c” as “speed determination Compared with the speed data in the “information storage unit 93”, if the speed data has been reached, it is determined that the subject possessing the activity meter 10 has started a bicycle exercise different from the exercise form on foot. be able to.
As described above, the “speed determination information” is an example of characteristic element information of the exercise type.

That is, when it is determined that the subject carrying the activity meter 10 has started the bicycle exercise, after that, as shown in FIG. 11, processing such as measurement of the exercise amount is performed in the bicycle mode.
The “bicycle mode process” will be described later.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in ST5 that the subject who owns the activity meter 10 has started the bicycle exercise, the process proceeds to ST6.
In ST6, for example, the “altitude information determination processing unit (program) 94” of the “fifth various information storage unit 90” in FIG. 8 is operated, and the altitude information and diagram of the altimeter in FIG. The time information of the time measuring device 20 in FIG. 3 and “reference information for altitude determination” in the “altitude determination reference information storage unit 95” in FIG. 8 are referred to.

  Here, the “standard information for altitude determination” includes “high altitude standard information” that is altitude standard information, “high altitude change standard information” that is information on an altitude increase based on this “high altitude standard information”, and It includes “altitude change judgment time information” which is the standard time information for generating this “altitude change reference information”.

That is, for example, the altitude at which the subject carrying the activity meter 10 departs is “altitude reference information”, and then, within the “altitude change determination time information” that is a predetermined time, When it is increased by “altitude change reference information”, it is determined that the target person is climbing from this degree of increase.
Therefore, in ST6, the “altitude information determination processing unit (program) 94” refers to the altimeter 23, the time measuring device 20, and the “altitude determination reference information storage unit 95”, and in the “altitude change determination time information”, Compared with “altitude reference information”, it is determined whether or not elevation information of a predetermined altitude or more that is “altitude change reference information” has occurred, that is, whether or not climbing has been performed.
Therefore, “altitude information” or the like is an example of characteristic element information of the exercise type.

  And in ST6, when it is judged that the subject carrying the activity meter 10 is climbing different from the exercise mode on foot, the momentum of the exercise amount is increased in the climbing mode as shown in FIG. Perform processing such as measurement.

Whether or not the amount of exercise measured by the activity meter 10 is a preferable amount of exercise differs depending on the type of exercise. Therefore, in order to accurately grasp the preferable amount of exercise, it is necessary to specify the type of exercise.
In this regard, in this embodiment, at least for the “bicycle” exercise and the “mountain climbing” exercise, the activity meter 10 automatically determines the type of exercise from the exercise of the subject, and thus a simpler method. Thus, the exercise type can be specified.

  On the other hand, if the activity meter 10 determines in ST6 that the subject is not climbing, the process proceeds to ST7. In ST7, for example, it is determined whether or not the “operation mode switching device 24” in FIG.

That is, it is determined whether the subject has selected whether his / her exercise is “bicycle”, “climbing”, or “swimming”.
When the target person operates the “driving mode switching device 24” and specifies “bicycle”, “climbing”, or “swimming”, the “bicycle mode”, “climbing mode”, and “swimming mode” respectively. Processing such as measurement of momentum in is performed.

On the other hand, in ST7, when “driving mode switching device 24” is operated and “bicycle”, “mountain climbing”, or “swimming” is not specified, as shown in FIG. Processing such as measurement of momentum is performed.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the exercise type is specified also by the “operation mode switching device 24” based on the input of the subject, and therefore the exercise type can be reliably determined.

Hereinafter, the “walking mode process”, “bicycle mode”, “mountain climbing mode”, and “swimming mode” will be described.
First, the “walking mode process” will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, in ST11, it is determined whether the “average acceleration data generation device 22” in FIG. 3 has acquired acceleration (momentum) data (m / s ² ). That is, it is determined whether the subject has carried the activity meter 10 and started exercise such as walking.

When it is determined in ST11 that the subject has started walking or the like, the process proceeds to ST12. In ST12, the “step counting device 21” in FIG. 3 operates to count the number of steps of the subject based on the data of the “average acceleration data generating device 22” and the like. In the "cumulative step count information storage unit 42", the cumulative step count information is stored as "time-related cumulative step count information" together with the time information.
Therefore, the activity meter 10 can obtain cumulative step count information with time information.

On the other hand, when it is determined in ST11 that the subject has started walking or the like, the process proceeds to ST13. In ST13, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time, for example, 2 minutes has elapsed, with reference to “timer 20”.
As will be described later, the activity meter 10 according to the present embodiment is configured so that the METs, which is the reference for the amount of exercise, are displayed on the “Mets display 13” in FIGS. Is displayed on the screen.

In ST13, when 2 minutes have passed, the process proceeds to ST14. In ST14, “every 2 minutes METs information generation processing unit (program) 74” of FIG. 6 operates. Then, with reference to the “acceleration METs value storage unit 37” in FIG. 4 in which information of METs values (for example, 1 METs to 8 METs) corresponding to the acceleration values of the “average acceleration data generation device 22” is stored, the “average The METs value of the average value of the acceleration data for 2 minutes of the “acceleration data generation device 22” is specified.
Then, the specified METs value is stored in the “every 2 minutes METs value information storage unit 38” in association with the time information of the “timing device 20”.

Next, the process proceeds to ST15. In ST15, the METs values (1 to 8) stored in the “2 minute METs value information storage unit 38” are displayed on the “Mets etc. display 13” of FIG.
Specifically, it is represented by the number of blocks on the display 13 such as Mets in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, when the number of blocks is one, it is 1 METs, and when it is eight, it is 8 METs.

  Next, the process proceeds to ST16. In ST16, the “medium strength METs range determination processing unit (program) 75” in FIG. 6 operates, and the “range of medium strength METs” in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” in FIG. Referring to 3METs to 6METs, is the METs value every 2 minutes (every predetermined time) in the “every 2 minutes (every predetermined time) METs value information storage unit 38” within the range of the medium strength METs? Judge whether or not.

When it is determined in ST16 that the METs value every 2 minutes in the “2 minute METs value information storage unit 38” is within the range of the medium strength METs, the process proceeds to ST17. Also in ST17, the “medium strength METs range determination processing unit (program) 75” in FIG. 6 operates, refers to “timer 20”, and stores “2 minutes (in the middle strength METs accumulated time storage unit 39” in FIG. Predetermined time) "is stored together with the time information.
Thereby, the active mass meter 10 can acquire the accumulation time etc. which performed the exercise | movement of the "medium intensity | strength METs value" which is an exercise amount appropriate for the said subject.

In ST17, since the exercise amount for 2 minutes is within the range of “medium intensity METs”, the “flame display 14” in FIGS. 2 and 3 is lit to notify the subject or the like of the fact.
Thus, the subject can know that his / her exercise is appropriate, and can use it as a guideline for the subsequent exercise.

Next, the process proceeds to ST18. In ST18, the “calorie consumption value calculation processing unit (program) 76” in FIG. 6 operates, and the METs value and its time information (for example, 2 minutes) in the “every 2 minutes METs value information storage unit 38” in FIG. And “weight (kg) information of the subject in the“ subject input information storage unit 31 ”is obtained.
The processing unit (program) 76 refers to the “calorie consumption formula storage unit 40” in FIG. 4 and obtains the calorie consumption formula (calorie consumption = METs value × exercise time × weight (kg) × 1.05). Then, the above acquired information is substituted into this equation, and the “calorie consumption value” is calculated.
The “calorie consumption value” obtained by this calculation is stored in the “cumulative calorie consumption value storage unit 41” of FIG. 4 together with the time information.
Therefore, the activity meter 10 can obtain a calorie consumption value and cumulative information for each hour.

Thus, in this Embodiment, the active mass meter 10 can acquire the calorie consumption information which is an important parameter | index which evaluates a subject's exercise | movement.
Further, the target person can refer to the information after the fact, and can grasp “calorie consumption information” which is an important index for the evaluation of the amount of exercise.

Next, the process proceeds to ST19. In ST19, “achievement gauge display information” to be displayed on the achievement gauge 15 of FIGS. 2 and 3 is generated.
That is, the “achievement gauge display information generation display processing unit (program) 81” in FIG. 7 operates and acquires the following information.
1) “cumulative step count information” in “cumulative step count information storage section 42” in FIG. 4 and “target step count (for example, 8000 steps)” in “target person input information storage section 31”.
2) “Medium strength METs cumulative time” of “Medium strength METs cumulative time storage unit 39” in FIG. 4 and “Target medium strength METs time information” (for example, 20 minutes) of “Target medium strength METs time information storage unit 36” ) "
Based on the information of 1) and 2), “achievement gauge display information” to be displayed on the achievement gauge 15 is generated.

In the above 1), the achievement degree of the target step count can be grasped by comparing the “cumulative step count information” that the subject actually walked and the “target step count (for example, 8000 steps)”.
Further, in the above 2), the “medium intensity METs accumulated time” which is the actual exercise time of the medium intensity METs is compared with “target medium intensity METs time information (for example, 20 minutes)”, The degree of achievement of the target execution time of the subject's medium-strength METs exercise can be grasped.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, it is achieved (100%) with 8000 steps and 20 minutes of medium strength METs exercise, and 10% of them is 800 steps and 2 minutes of medium strength METs exercise.
That is, when both the step count and the medium strength METs exercise time have achieved 10%, the achievement gauge 15 is turned on for 10%, and “achievement gauge display information” indicating the achievement degree is generated and displayed on the achievement gauge 15. .
This “achievement gauge display information” is an example of target exercise amount execution degree information.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the achievement gauge 15 has an arcuate shape as a whole, and the arcuate portion is lit according to the degree of achievement.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned example, when both the step count and the medium intensity METs exercise time achieve 10% of the target, an amount equivalent to 10% of the entire achievement gauge 15 (for example, 10% from the left end in FIG. 2) Will light up.
In addition, when the subject has achieved the target number of steps and the target medium strength METs exercise time, the achievement gauge 15 is configured to light up as a whole and indicate that 100% has been achieved.
In the present embodiment, the achievement of 100% of the target is “achievement”, but 50% of the target may be displayed as achievement.

Thus, the achievement gauge 15 considers not only the medium strength METs exercise time but also the number of steps when displaying the achievement level, so even if the number of steps and the medium strength METs exercise time reach the target, the number of steps is set as the target. If it does not reach it, it will not be achieved.
Accordingly, since “step information” that is important in evaluating an appropriate exercise is also taken into account, the activity meter 10 of the present embodiment can evaluate the exercise state of the subject with extremely high accuracy.

  Next, the process proceeds to ST20. In ST20, the “achievement gauge determination processing unit (program) 82” of FIG. 4 operates to determine whether or not the achievement gauge 15 is 100%. If 100%, the process proceeds to ST21. In ST21, the “Banzai mark”, which is a character display, is displayed on the “Mets etc. display 13” in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the “OK” mark is lit or blinked.

FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the “Banzai mark” which is a character display is displayed and the “OK” mark is lit or blinking.
Therefore, the target person can quickly and easily know that his / her exercise has achieved the goal by visually recognizing the display of the “Mets display 13” on the activity meter 10.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, an appropriate METs value of “medium strength METs range” that matches attributes such as sex and age of the subject who uses the activity meter 10 is automatically determined. The target time of the medium strength METs exercise can be automatically determined from the target step count information input by the person.

Further, the achievement level is also shown in a state that can be easily grasped by the achievement gauge 15, and the achievement judgment is judged by taking into account the number of steps information that is made up of only the time information of the medium strength METs exercise.
Therefore, the activity meter 10 is capable of evaluating the exercise amount and the like with extremely high accuracy.
FIG. 23 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing information that can be displayed on the activity meter-side display 11 of the activity meter 10.
As shown in FIG. 23, the activity meter side display 11, for example, “Mets etc. display 13” has a configuration in which the displayed information can be changed by pressing an operation button or the like. Yes.

That is, when the operation button or the like is pressed in the state where the “2 minute METs value graph” shown in FIG. 2 is displayed, “medium strength METs accumulated time”, “cumulative step count”, “distance (calculated based on the step count). Information) ”and“ cumulative calorie consumption value ”are displayed in the order of change.
Accordingly, the target person or the like can arbitrarily display various necessary information by operating the operation buttons or the like.

As described above, the activity meter 10 according to the present embodiment refers to the “gender medium strength METs range information 33a” in FIG. 21 according to the appropriate “medium strength METs according to the gender, age, and other attributes of the subject. The “value range” is uniquely determined and stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” in FIG.
However, the optimal “medium intensity METs value range” of the subject may be different even at the same age or the like.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the “medium strength METs value range” once determined and stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” in FIG. 4 is modified to more closely match the subject. And the like.

FIG.15 and FIG.16 is a schematic flowchart which shows the correction process of "target person sex medium intensity | strength METs range information".
Hereinafter, the process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 15 and 16.
First, in ST31, the “information accumulation judgment processing unit (program) 83” in FIG. 7 operates, and the “medium intensity METs cumulative time storage unit 39”, “cumulative step count information storage unit 42”, and “cumulative calorie consumption” in FIG. Referring to the value storage unit 41 ”, it is determined whether or not data has been accumulated for a certain period (for example, one week).

  If it is determined in ST31 that each data has been accumulated for a certain period, the process proceeds to ST32. In ST32, the “average value information calculation processing unit (program) 84” of FIG. 7 operates, and the “medium intensity METs cumulative time storage unit 39”, the “cumulative step count information storage unit 42”, and the “cumulative consumption calorie value storage unit 41”. The average value per day of the data for a certain period of time, for example, for one week, is calculated as “medium intensity METs average time information”, “step number average information” and “calorie consumption value average information”, respectively. , And stored in the “average value information storage unit 51” in FIG.

  Next, the process proceeds to ST33. In ST33, the “standard information comparison / change processing unit (program) 85” in FIG. 7 operates, and “medium intensity METs average time information”, “step number average information”, and “step number average information” in the “average value information storage unit 51” in FIG. The “calorie consumption value average information” is compared with the information in the “standard average value information storage unit 52” in FIG.

  In the “standard average value information storage unit 52” in FIG. 5, standard numerical values for each rank (“65 years old or older, less than BMI 25”, etc.) of the “sex middle strength METs range etc. information 33a” in FIG. That is, in the rank, “standard medium intensity METs average time information”, “standard step count average information”, and “standard calorie consumption average information” which are values assumed in advance are stored.

  Therefore, in ST33, these “standard medium strength METs average time information”, “standard step count average information” and “standard calorie consumption value average information”, and “medium strength METs average of“ average value information storage unit 51 ”in FIG. The “time information”, “step number average information”, and “calorie consumption value average information” are compared, and it is determined whether or not the numerical value of the target person approximates the value assumed in advance.

  Specifically, for example, when the current rank of the subject person in FIG. 21 is “65 years old or older and less than BMI 25”, “medium intensity METs average of“ average value information storage unit 51 ”in FIG. "Time information", "Step count average information" and "Calories consumed average information" are referred to as "Standard medium strength METs average time information", "Standard steps average information" and "Standard calories consumed average information" corresponding to the rank. Compare.

  Then, the process proceeds to ST34. In ST34, “medium intensity METs average time information”, “step number average information” and “calorie consumption value average information” correspond to the “standard medium intensity METs average time information”, “standard step number average information” and “ It is determined whether or not the standard calorie consumption value average information exceeds a certain value (departure or not).

And when exceeding, it progresses to ST35. In ST34, when each data of the subject exceeds a certain level from the standard, it is estimated that the subject has better physical strength than the standard. Therefore, in ST35, the following processing is performed.
That is, the “numerical range of medium strength METs” stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” of FIG. 4 is changed to “gender medium strength METs range information 33a” of FIG. Refer to the above and change to “1 rank” younger side.

In the above example, the current rank is “65 years old or older and less than BMI 25”, and “the numerical range of the medium strength METs” is “3 to 6 METs”. Therefore, this rank is changed to one rank younger side, that is, a rank of “45 years old or older and under 65 years old”, and “4-7 METs”, which is the “numerical range of medium strength METs” defined in the rank, is a new numerical value. The range is stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” in FIG.
As a result, the “numerical range of the medium strength METs” of the subject becomes more appropriate, and it is possible to carry out correspondence according to the characteristics of the individual subject more than the unambiguous judgment based on the criteria such as age.

  On the other hand, if it is not determined in ST34 that each data of the subject exceeds a certain level from the standard, the process proceeds to ST36. In ST36, “medium intensity METs average time information”, “step number average information” and “calorie consumption value average information” correspond to the “standard medium intensity METs average time information”, “standard step number average information” and “ It is determined whether or not the standard calorie consumption value average information is below a certain level (departure or not).

And when it is below, it progresses to ST37. In ST37, when each data of the subject is below a certain level from the standard, it is estimated that the subject is inferior in physical strength or the like than the standard. Therefore, in ST37, the following processing is performed.
That is, the “numerical range of medium strength METs” stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” of FIG. 4 is changed to “gender medium strength METs range information 33a” of FIG. Referring to, change to “1 rank” old age side.

In the above example, the current rank is “65 years old or older and less than BMI 25”, and “the numerical range of the medium strength METs” is “3 to 6 METs”. Therefore, this rank is changed to one rank old age side, that is, “65 years old or older, BMI 25 or higher” rank, and “2-5 METs”, which is the “numerical strength METs numerical range” defined in the rank, is a new numerical range. Is stored in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” in FIG.
As a result, the “numerical range of the medium strength METs” of the subject becomes more appropriate, and it is possible to carry out correspondence according to the characteristics of the individual subject more than the unambiguous judgment based on the criteria such as age.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the activity meter 10 includes a subject-side terminal 200 of the subject, or a medical staff such as a doctor in charge when the subject is diabetic, for example. It is configured to be able to communicate with the doctor side terminal 100.
Specifically, as described above, communication is performed between the “non-contact type IC card 18” of the activity meter 10 and the “doctor-side terminal reader / writer 103” or the “subject-side terminal reader / writer 203”. It has a possible configuration.

Therefore, in this Embodiment, the various information which the active mass meter 10 accumulate | stored can be transmitted not only to the subject side terminal 200 of the said subject but to the doctor side terminal 100 in charge.
In particular, when the subject is diabetic or the like, and is receiving guidance or the like from the doctor in charge about exercise etc., various information stored in the activity meter 10 of the subject person is stored in the doctor side terminal of the doctor in charge. By transmitting to 100, the doctor can quickly acquire detailed information, and can quickly and accurately determine the medical condition and the like.

FIG. 17 is a schematic flowchart showing a process of transmitting various kinds of information of the activity meter 10 to the doctor side terminal 100 and the subject side terminal 200.
Hereinafter, along with the flowchart of FIG. 17, a usage form of information of the activity meter 10 such as the doctor-side terminal 100 will be described.

For example, a description will be given using an example in which a subject with diabetes is instructed by a doctor in charge regarding exercise.
First, the subject who receives the guidance of the doctor in charge brings the active mass meter 10 already used on the examination day of the doctor in charge, and as shown in FIG. 100 “doctor side terminal reader / writer 103”.
Then, communication is started between both sides, and the process proceeds to ST41 in FIG. In ST41, the activity meter 10 determines whether or not there is an information transmission request from the connected doctor terminal 100, and if there is a request, proceeds to ST42.

  In ST42, the “one hour unit information generation processing unit (program) 91” of FIG. 8 operates, and “medium intensity METs cumulative time storage unit 39”, “cumulative step count information storage unit 42”, and “cumulative consumption calorie value storage unit”. 41 "is referred to, and for each," hourly medium strength METs cumulative time information "," hourly cumulative step count information "and" hourly cumulative calorie consumption information "are hourly data. And is stored in the “one hour unit information storage unit 53” of FIG.

  Next, the process proceeds to ST43. In ST43, the activity meter 10 performs “1 hour unit medium strength METs accumulated time information”, “1 hour unit accumulated step count information”, and “1 hour unit” stored in the “1 hour unit information storage unit 53” of FIG. "Unit cumulative calorie consumption value information" is transmitted to the doctor terminal 100.

Next, in ST44, the “1-hour unit medium strength METs cumulative time information” received from the activity meter 10 is displayed on the doctor-side terminal display 101 of FIG.
FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram illustrating a screen example such as “1 hour unit medium strength METs accumulated time information” received from the activity meter 10.
As shown in FIG. 24, “Medium intensity METs time”, “Steps”, and “Calories consumed” are displayed on the doctor side terminal display 103 in units of one hour. Can be grasped accurately.
That is, the subject doctor in charge can grasp whether the subject has performed “exercise of medium-strength METs” at what time and with how many steps, and the subject's exercise quickly The state can be grasped.

  Moreover, this screen example can be similarly displayed on the subject side terminal display 201 of the subject side terminal 200 of FIG. That is, the target person transmits the data of the activity meter 10 to the target person side terminal 200 at home at night and displays the contents on the target side terminal display 201 as shown in FIG. It is possible to easily and quickly grasp the state of exercise.

  In the present embodiment, the “one hour unit” information is generated on the activity meter 10 side and transmitted to the doctor terminal 100 or the like. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The configuration may be such that the meter 10 transmits to the doctor-side terminal 100 or the like, and then the doctor-side terminal 100 or the like generates these pieces of information as “one hour unit” information.

  Further, in the present invention, the doctor-side terminal 100 is provided with a “subject person medium-strength METs range information change processing unit (program) (not shown)”, and the change signal is sent from the doctor-side terminal 100 by operating this. It is transmitted to the activity meter 10, and the range of the value of the medium strength METs in the “subject gender medium strength METs range information storage unit 34” in FIG. 4 can be changed.

  Therefore, when the doctor who visually recognizes the data in FIG. 24 determines that the “range value of the medium strength METs” of the subject person who is the patient needs to be changed based on the symptom or the like, FIG. By operating the doctor side terminal input device 102 and transmitting a change signal to the activity meter 10, it can be changed to an appropriate “range value of medium strength METs” as instructed by the doctor. .

Hereinafter, “bicycle mode processing” different from the walking exercise mode of FIG. 12 will be described using FIG. 18 and the like.
First, in ST41 of FIG. 18, the time measuring device 20 measures the operation time of the bicycle mode and stores it in the “bicycle mode operation time information storage unit 96” of FIG.
Next, the process proceeds to ST42. In ST42, the speed information determination processing unit (program) 92 "of FIG. 8 is operated, and the data of the X-axis acceleration sensor 22a, the Y-axis acceleration sensor 22b, and the Z-axis acceleration sensor 22c of the average acceleration data generation device 22 are shown in FIG. The “speed determination information storage unit 93” is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the speed is less than the traveling speed of the bicycle (determines whether or not the subject has stopped the bicycle movement).

If it is determined in ST42 that the speed is not less than the traveling speed of the bicycle (the subject has stopped cycling), the process proceeds to ST43. In ST43, it is determined whether or not the mode of the “driving mode switching device 24” in FIG. 3 has been changed to a mountain climbing or swimming mode other than the “bicycle mode”.
If it is determined in ST43 that the mode of the “driving mode switching device 24” has been changed to a mountain climbing / swimming mode other than “bicycle mode”, or if the speed is determined to be less than the traveling speed of the bicycle in ST42 , Go to ST44.

In ST44, the measurement of the “bicycle mode” operation time is terminated, and the time is stored in the “bicycle mode operation time information storage unit 96” in FIG.
That is, the activity meter 10 can acquire information on exercise (motion) time in the “bicycle mode”.

Next, the process proceeds to ST45. In ST45, the “bicycle mode exercise amount information generation processing unit (program) 97” of FIG. 8 operates, and the “bicycle mode operation time information (“ bicycle mode operation time information storage unit 96 ”) (exercise type operation information, for example). Reference is made to “time information when the subject exercised in the“ bicycle mode ”)” and “bicycle mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information” in the “bicycle mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information storage unit 301” in FIG.
In this “bicycle mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information”, information of “exercise amount corresponding to the bicycle mode operation time (for example, Mets etc.)” is stored.
In other words, the “bicycle mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information” is an example of “exercise amount calculation basic information” that is basic calculation information of the exercise amount for each type of exercise.

Then, the “bicycle mode exercise amount information generation processing unit (program) 97” generates exercise amount information (information such as Mets) corresponding to the bicycle mode exercise (motion) time, and the “bicycle mode exercise amount storage unit 302” in FIG. Remember me.
In other words, in the present embodiment, the activity meter 10 can acquire exercise amount information such as mets corresponding to a bicycle exercise.
Therefore, the activity meter 10 according to the present embodiment can accurately acquire the amount of exercise such as mets of bicycle exercise.

Next, “bicycle mode exercise amount (information such as Mets)” of the “bicycle mode exercise amount storage unit 302” is displayed on the “Mets etc. display 13” of FIG.
Therefore, the subject can quickly know the amount of exercise such as Mets in his / her bicycle exercise.

Next, “climbing mode processing” that is different from the walking exercise mode of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG. 19 and the like.
First, in ST51 of FIG. 19, the timing device 20 measures the operation time in the mountain climbing mode and stores it in the “mountain mode operation time information storage unit 303” in FIG.

Next, the process proceeds to ST52. In ST52, the “altitude information determination processing unit (program) 94” of FIG. 8 operates to operate the altitude data of the altimeter 23, the time data of the time measuring device 20, and the “altitude determination reference information storage unit 95”. With reference to the “reference information”, it is determined whether or not an elevation higher than a predetermined level, which is the “altitude change reference information”, occurs in the “altitude change determination time information” as compared to the “altitude reference information”.
That is, it is determined whether or not the target person has risen more than a predetermined altitude (altitude change criterion information) within a predetermined time (altitude change determination time information) compared to the reference altitude (altitude determination criterion information). . That is, if the altitude has risen above a predetermined altitude, it is determined that the target person carrying the activity meter 10 is climbing, and if the altitude does not rise above the predetermined altitude, climbing has been stopped, etc. to decide.

In ST52, if the altitude has risen above a predetermined altitude, the process proceeds to ST53. In ST53, it is determined whether or not the mode of the “driving mode switching device 24” in FIG. 3 has been changed to a bicycle other than the “climbing mode”, a swimming mode, or the like.
If it is determined in ST53 that the mode of the “driving mode switching device 24” has been changed to a bicycle or swimming mode other than the “climbing mode”, or climbing is stopped without increasing the altitude above a predetermined altitude in ST52. If it is determined that the process has been performed, the process proceeds to ST54.

In ST54, the measurement of the operation time in the “climbing mode” is ended, and the time is stored in the “climbing mode operation time information storage unit 303” in FIG.
That is, the activity meter 10 can acquire information on exercise (motion) time in the “climbing mode”.

Next, the process proceeds to ST55. In ST55, the “climbing mode exercise amount information generation processing unit (program) 304” of FIG. 9 operates, and “climbing mode operation time information” and “climbing mode operation time information storage unit 303”, which are the climbing times of the target person. Reference is made to the climbing mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information storage unit 305.
The “mountain mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information storage unit 305” stores exercise amount data such as mets corresponding to the mountain climbing mode operation (exercise) time.
In other words, the “mountain mode operation time corresponding exercise amount information” is an example of “exercise amount calculation basic information” that is basic calculation information of the amount of exercise for each type of exercise.

Then, the “mountain mode exercise amount information generation processing unit (program) 304” generates the amount of exercise information (information such as Mets) corresponding to the climb mode operation (motion) time, and the “climbing mode exercise amount storage unit 306” of FIG.
