  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an exercise information measuring apparatus 10 for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. The exercise information measuring device 10 is used by being worn on a user's body (including a state in which it is put in a pocket of clothes), and specific examples include a pedometer, an activity meter, and a sports watch. The exercise information measuring device 10 is not limited to a dedicated device for measuring exercise information, and may be an electronic device mainly having another function such as a smartphone.

  The exercise information measuring apparatus 10 includes a body motion detection unit 1, a control unit 2 that performs overall control, a communication unit 3, an operation unit 4, and a storage including a storage medium such as a flash memory and a ROM (Read Only Memory). And a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver 6.

  The body motion detection unit 1 detects information (acceleration, angular velocity, etc.) corresponding to the movement of the body part of the user to which the motion information measuring device 10 is attached. The body motion detection unit 1 includes various motion sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and a signal processing unit that processes signals output from the various motion sensors. The body motion detection unit 1 only needs to include at least one motion sensor and a signal processing unit that processes a signal from the motion sensor. The body motion detection unit 1 functions as a detection unit that detects information according to the movement of the user.

  The control unit 2 is mainly configured by a processor that executes a program stored in the ROM of the storage unit 5.

  The communication unit 3 is an interface for performing short-range wireless communication with an electronic device (hereinafter referred to as another device) including another motion information measurement device 10. Short-range wireless communication refers to communication that conforms to a communication standard that enables direct communication between devices without going through a network such as the Internet. As this interface, a communication interface compliant with ANT (standard for PAN (Personal Area Network)), a communication interface compliant with Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like is used.

  The operation unit 4 is a device for inputting various instructions to the control unit 2 and includes buttons, a touch panel, and the like.

  The storage unit 5 stores detection information detected by the body motion detection unit 1, stores information received via the communication unit 3, and stores information necessary for operation of the exercise information measurement device 10. To do.

  The GPS receiver 6 is a position information acquisition unit for acquiring position information of the motion information measurement device 10 and notifies the control unit 2 of the acquired position information.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing functional blocks realized by the control unit 2 of the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 shown in FIG. This functional block is formed by the processor executing the program stored in the storage unit 5.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 2 includes an exercise information measurement unit 20, a storage control unit 21, and a communication operation state control unit 22.

  The exercise information measurement unit 20 measures the exercise information of the user based on the detection information detected by the body motion detection unit 1. This exercise information includes the amount of activity (number of steps, walking distance, calorie consumption, etc.), movement speed, etc. of the user. The moving speed is information indicating the speed of movement such as walking speed and running speed, for example. The exercise information only needs to include an amount of activity including at least the number of steps.

  The storage control unit 21 stores information indicating the timing and position when the communication unit 3 inputs an instruction for starting communication with another device (hereinafter referred to as a communication start instruction) via the operation unit 4. Store in part 5.

  The information indicating the timing is information indicating the day of the week when the communication start instruction is given, information indicating the time when the communication start instruction is given, or the like.

  The information indicating the position indicates the position information acquired by the GPS receiver 6 when a communication start instruction is given. Note that, instead of the GPS receiver 6, the control unit 2 receives position information from another device having a function of acquiring position information of the GPS receiver or the like via the communication unit 3 when the communication unit 3 is powered on. It is good also as a structure which acquires.

  The communication operation state control unit 22 controls the operation state of the communication unit 3 based on a history of information indicating timing and position when a communication start instruction is input.

  The operation of the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 shown in FIG. When the power of the exercise information measuring device 10 is turned on, the control unit 2 turns on the power of each unit other than the communication unit 3.

  When the operation unit 4 is operated and a communication start instruction is input (step S1: YES), the communication operation state control unit 22 of the control unit 2 turns on the power of the communication unit 3 (step S2). After step S2, the storage control unit 21 of the control unit 2 detects the timing when the communication start instruction is input (in this case, time information) and the GPS when the communication start instruction is input. Information indicating the position of the motion information measuring device 10 acquired by the receiver 6 is stored in the storage unit 5 (step S3).

  The storage unit 5 stores, for example, a timing table having items obtained by dividing one day every 24 hours. The storage control unit 21 determines which item in the timing table corresponds to the time information when the communication start instruction is input, and stores the flag for the corresponding item, thereby timing the time information. Store in the table.

  The storage unit 5 stores a position information table having position information indicating a certain range as an item. The storage control unit 21 determines which item in the position information table the position information of the exercise information measuring device 10 when the communication start instruction is input corresponds to, and stores a flag for the corresponding item. The position information is stored in the position information table. If the position information of the movement information measuring device 10 is not in the items of the position information table, the storage control unit 21 newly adds an item of the position information table and stores a flag in the added item.

  In this way, the storage unit 5 is input with a communication start instruction indicating at which timing the communication start instruction is given and at which position the communication information measurement apparatus 10 is given. A history of information indicating the timing and position at that time is stored.

  After step S3, when an instruction to end communication with another device using the communication unit 3 (referred to as a communication end instruction) is input via the operation unit 4 (step S4: YES), the communication of the control unit 2 The operation state control unit 22 turns off the power of the communication unit 3 (step S5). After step S5, the process returns to step S1.

  When the determination in step S1 is NO, that is, in a state where no communication start instruction is input, the communication operation state control unit 22 of the control unit 2 stores information indicating the timing and position at an arbitrary time in the storage unit 5. It is determined whether or not a condition based on the history of information indicating the timing and position is satisfied (step S6).

  Satisfying this condition means that information indicating the timing and position at an arbitrary time corresponds to the items in the timing table and position information table in which the number of flags stored in the storage unit 5 is equal to or greater than the threshold. say.

  Specifically, the communication operation state control unit 22 indicates that the number of flags stored in the item corresponding to the time information at an arbitrary time exceeds the threshold in the timing table, and the position information table It is determined whether or not the number of flags stored in the item corresponding to the position information of the exercise information measuring device 10 at this arbitrary time exceeds the threshold value.

  When the result of this determination is YES, the communication operation state control unit 22 turns on the power of the communication unit 3 (step S7). Thereby, the communication part 3 will be in the state which can communicate with another apparatus. After step S7, the process of step S6 is periodically performed at an arbitrary interval, and when the determination of step S6 is NO, the communication operation state control unit 22 turns off the power of the communication unit 3 (step S8). ). After step S8, the process returns to step S1.

  As described above, the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 can start communication using the communication unit 3 according to the intention of the user by inputting a communication start instruction. When the information indicating the timing and position when the communication start instruction is given is accumulated in the storage unit 5, the information indicating the timing and position stored in the storage unit 5 is stored even when the communication start instruction is not input. When the condition based on the history is satisfied, the power of the communication unit 3 is automatically turned on.

  In other words, as the user uses the exercise information measuring device 10, the timing and position of frequent communication are learned by the control unit 2, and the power of the communication unit 3 is automatically turned on based on the learning result. become. For this reason, compared with the case where the power supply of the communication part 3 is always on, power consumption can be reduced. Further, while the number of flags stored in the storage unit 5 is small, it is necessary to manually instruct communication start. However, when the number of flags increases, the communication unit 3 does not require manual operation by the user. As a result, the user's time and effort can be reduced.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, when the process of step S <b> 7 is performed, the control unit 2 may notify the user that the communication unit 3 is turned on. As a notification method, if the exercise information measuring device 10 has a display unit, the information is displayed on the display unit, or if the exercise information measuring device 10 has a speaker, a notification is given by sound.

  In this way, the user can know the timing and position at which the power of the communication unit 3 is automatically turned on. Thereafter, the user does not issue a communication start instruction in the same time zone and position. You can also know what is good. By learning the timing and position at which the communication unit 3 is automatically turned on, the user can gradually reduce the number of communication start instructions, thereby reducing the user burden.

  In the above description, the timing table and the position information table are stored in the storage unit 5, and the flag is stored in each table. However, the storage unit 5 may be configured to store either a timing table or a position information table.

  In this case, in step S3 of FIG. 3, the storage control unit 21 stores information indicating the timing of the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 or information indicating the position in the storage unit 5 as a flag. Further, in step S6 of FIG. 3, the communication operation state control unit 22 determines that the number of flags stored in the item corresponding to the time information at an arbitrary time point in the timing table is greater than or equal to the threshold value or at an arbitrary time point in the position information table. It is determined whether or not the number of flags stored in the item corresponding to the position information is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

  Thus, as the user uses the exercise information measuring device 10, the timing or position at which communication start instructions are often performed is learned by the control unit 2, and the power source of the communication unit 3 is based on the learning result. May be configured to automatically turn on.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a modification of the operation of the exercise information measuring apparatus 10 shown in FIG. In this modification, the communication operation state control unit 22 always turns on the power of the communication unit 3 while the exercise information measuring device 10 is activated. The communication operation state control unit 22 controls the operation state of the communication unit 3 based on a history of information indicating timing and position when communication with another device is performed by the communication unit 3.

  Specifically, while the communication unit 3 is powered on, the communication operation state control unit 22 uses information indicating timing and position stored in the storage unit 5 as information indicating timing and position at an arbitrary time point. Whether the communication unit 3 is operated with the first power consumption or the second power consumption larger than the first power consumption is controlled depending on whether the condition based on the history is satisfied.

  The state in which the communication unit 3 is operated with the first power consumption means, for example, that an interval of communication processing necessary for establishing communication with another device (for example, radio wave transmission processing for searching for a communicable terminal) is increased. As a result, power consumption is reduced. The state in which the communication unit 3 is operated with the second power consumption is a state in which the communication processing execution interval is shortened. By shortening the execution interval of this communication processing, communication with other devices can be performed efficiently.

  When the exercise information measurement device 10 is turned on and the exercise information measurement device 10 is activated, the communication operation state control unit 22 operates the communication unit 3 with the first power consumption (step S11).

  Next, the communication operation state control unit 22 determines whether or not communication with another device has been performed by the communication unit 3 (step S12). “Communication with another device” means a state in which communication with another device is established.

  When the determination in step S12 is YES, the storage control unit 21 performs information acquired by the GPS receiver 6 when the communication start instruction is input and information indicating the timing when the communication start instruction is input. The position information of the information measuring device 10 is stored in the storage unit 5 (step S13). The process of step S13 is the same as the process of step S3.

  After step S13, the process returns to step S12. When the determination in step S <b> 12 is NO, the communication operation state control unit 22 of the control unit 2 has information indicating timing and position at an arbitrary time point based on a history of information indicating timing and position stored in the storage unit 5. It is determined whether or not the condition is satisfied (step S14). The process of step S14 is the same as the process of step S6.

  When the determination in step S14 is YES, the communication operation state control unit 22 operates the communication unit 3 with the second power consumption (step S15). After step S15, the process returns to step S14. If the determination in step S14 is no, the process returns to step S11.

  As described above, the history of information indicating the timing and position stored in the storage unit 5 is stored in the storage unit 5 even when the communication unit 3 is always turned on while the exercise information measurement device 10 is activated. The power consumption of the communication unit 3 can be suppressed except when the condition based on the condition is satisfied. In addition, such power consumption can be suppressed without troublesome users. Further, according to this modified example, compared with the operation of FIG. 3, it is not necessary for the user to perform an operation for instructing communication start, so that the burden on the user can be further reduced.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a modification of the functional block of the control unit 2 illustrated in FIG. The control unit 2 shown in FIG. 5 has the same configuration as that shown in FIG. 2 except that an action identification unit 23 is added.

  The action identifying unit 23 determines in advance, for example, walking, running, standing, sitting, sleeping, riding on a moving body such as a train or a bus, based on information according to the user's movement detected by the body motion detection unit 1. The process which identifies the action which performed is performed. In addition to the body motion detection unit 1, the behavior identification unit 23 can also perform behavior identification using position information detected by the GPS receiver 6.

  The storage control unit 21 of the control unit 2 illustrated in FIG. 5 stores, in the storage unit 5, behavior information identified by the behavior identification unit 23 when a communication start instruction is input.

  The communication operation state control unit 22 of the control unit 2 shown in FIG. 5 indicates the timing and position stored in the storage unit 5 when the communication start instruction is not input. Communication is performed depending on whether the condition based on the history of information satisfies the condition based on the history of behavior information stored in the storage unit 5 and the behavior identified by the behavior identifying unit 23 at this arbitrary point in time is satisfied. Controls whether the power of the unit 3 is turned on or off.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the motion information measuring apparatus 10 including the control unit 2 shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, the same processes as those in FIG. The flowchart shown in FIG. 6 is obtained by changing step S3 to step S3a and changing step S6 to step S6a in the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S3a, the storage control unit 21 of the control unit 2 includes information indicating the timing when the communication start instruction is input, and the exercise information acquired by the GPS receiver 6 when the communication start instruction is input. Information indicating the position of the measuring device 10 is stored in the storage unit 5. The operation so far is the same as step S3 in FIG.

  In step S <b> 3 a, the storage control unit 21 further stores in the storage unit 5 information on the behavior identified by the behavior identification unit 23 when a communication start instruction is input.

  The storage unit 5 stores an action table having an action type as an item, and the storage control unit 21 stores a flag in an item corresponding to the action identified by the action identification unit 23, so that the action identification unit Information on the action identified by 23 is stored in the storage unit 5.

  By the processing of step S3a, when the communication start instruction is given to the storage unit 5 at which timing, the communication start instruction is given when the motion information measuring device 10 is located, and which action is being performed A history of information indicating timing, position, and behavior when a communication start instruction is input, indicating whether a communication start instruction has been made, is stored.

  In step S <b> 6 a, the communication operation state control unit 22 satisfies the condition based on the history of information indicating the timing and position stored in the storage unit 5 at the arbitrary timing and the user at the arbitrary time. It is determined whether or not the action satisfies the condition based on the history of the action information stored in the storage unit 5.

  Satisfying the condition based on the history of information indicating the timing and position stored in the storage unit 5 means that the items in the timing table and the position information table in which the number of flags stored in the storage unit 5 is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The information indicating the timing and position at an arbitrary time corresponds.

  Satisfying the condition based on the history of behavior information stored in the storage unit 5 means that an action is identified in an item in the behavior table in which the number of flags stored in the storage unit 5 is equal to or greater than a threshold at an arbitrary time. It means that the action information identified by the unit 23 is applicable.

  Specifically, in step S6a, the communication operation state control unit 22 indicates that the number of flags stored in the item corresponding to the current time information exceeds the threshold in the timing table, and the position information table , The number of flags stored in the item corresponding to the position information of the motion information measuring device 10 at the current time exceeds the threshold value, and stored in the item corresponding to the current action information in the action table It is determined whether the number of flags that are set exceeds a threshold value.

  Then, when the determination at step S6a is YES, the process at step S7 is performed, and when the determination at step S6a is NO, the process at step S8 is performed.

  As described above, in a state where no communication start instruction is input, communication is performed only when the time information, position information, and action information at an arbitrary time satisfy the conditions based on the table stored in the storage unit 5. The power supply of the unit 3 is turned on. In this way, by determining not only the time and position but also the user's action, the conditions for turning on the communication unit 3 can be determined, so that the communication unit 3 can be turned on when it is not necessary. The power consumption can be reduced more effectively.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a modified example of the operation of the motion information measuring apparatus 10 including the control unit 2 shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the same processes as those in FIG. The flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is obtained by changing step S13 to step S13a and changing step S14 to step S14a in the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The process in step S13a is the same as the process in step S3a in FIG. 6, and the process in step S14a is the same as the process in step S6a in FIG.

  As described above, even when the power of the communication unit 3 is always turned on while the exercise information measuring device 10 is activated, the conditions based on the history of information indicating the timing, position, and action stored in the storage unit 5 are set. Except when it is satisfied, the power consumption of the communication unit 3 can be suppressed.

  6, similarly to the flowchart of FIG. 3, in step S <b> 3 a, the storage control unit 21 stores information indicating timing (or position) and behavior in the storage unit 5, and in step S <b> 6 a, the communication operation state control unit. 22 may determine whether or not a condition based on a history of information indicating the timing (or position) and behavior stored in the storage unit 5 is satisfied.
