Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a calorie meter for calculating and displaying energy consumed by exercise or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art A conventional body fat burn meter is based on a respiratory analyzer using an air bag, and calculates the amount of body fat burned by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide emitted and the amount of oxygen consumed. Was to do. In addition, the conventional calorie consumption meter calculates and displays the calories used for the exercise. [0003] The body fat combustion meter using the conventional respiratory analyzer has good accuracy, but the device is too large.
It is not suitable for use when ordinary people want to easily know the amount of body fat burned in daily life because of the high price. In addition, it is not clear whether the conventional calorie meter consumes carbohydrates in the body or consumes accumulated body fat. I couldn't tell if exercise was burning fat. [0004] In the calorie consumption meter, exercise intensity is automatically set based on exercise intensity data detected by an exercise intensity sensor of the calorie consumption meter.
A predetermined time determined by the set exercise intensity has elapsed
Judge that he has burned fat and exercise
The amount of fat burning is calculated from the product of duration and exercise intensity.
It has a function to display the amount of burning separately. [0005] The calorie consumption meter calculates and displays the amount of body fat burned in various energy sources after a certain period of time has passed in accordance with the intensity of exercise. In addition to knowing the calories required for exercise, you can also know the amount of body fat consumed, and a general-purpose calorie meter that measures the amount of exercise to eliminate obesity that is also causing adult diseases etc. It can be widely used. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display unit of a calorie meter according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exercise intensity count graph for explaining the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exercise intensity count graph of a conventional calorie meter. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display unit of a conventional calorie consumption meter. The conventional general calorie consumption calculator simply calculates and displays calories required for exercise. In order to eliminate obesity due to body fat, which is said to be a cause of adult diseases in recent years, exercise has been required. For example, body fat must be consumed, and thus it is necessary to grasp the amount of body fat consumed in daily life. An object of the present invention is to provide a general calorie consumption meter which enables daily consumption of body fat. FIG. 4 shows a conventional calorie consumption meter.
It only calculates and displays the calorie consumption from all kinds of exercise in daily life as shown in, and it is unknown whether the carbohydrate or fat in the body is consumed, For those who wanted to lose fat, it did not meet its purpose. As shown in FIG. 1, in the calorie consumption meter of the present invention, when a weight value of a subject is input and set, exercise intensity data from an exercise intensity sensor (not shown) and a built-in microcomputer. When the microcomputer (not shown) determines that the exercise of the same intensity has continued for a predetermined time (determined from the weight and exercise intensity) based on the data of the duration from the timer (not shown), the body fat burning amount is calculated. When the display mode is set to “fat” by the display switching button (5), the amount of body fat burned is displayed by the display number (1).
In the present embodiment, the exercise intensity is automatically detected and set. However, a method may be used in which the exercise intensity is input and set only from the outside when the user wants to know fat burning. [0010] The exercise intensity count graph shown in FIG. 2 is a graph of exercise intensity in daily life in relation to time, and when exercise of a certain intensity or more is continuously performed for a certain time or more according to the intensity. It indicates that it will burn fat,
It shows that fat is burning in jogging and the latter half of fast walking and jazz dance. With the conventional calorie consumption meter,
As shown in FIG. 3, calories consumed by exercises of all intensities are calculated and displayed as a whole. In order for a person weighing 60 kg to use the calorie consumption meter of the present invention, a setting mode mark (3) next to "kg" is displayed by the display switching button (5), and then the setting button (4) is pressed. Press the reset button (6) or the display switching button (5) to set the display number (1) to "60", and press the setting button (4) again to complete the setting of the body weight. It may be used by attaching it to the waist in the same manner as described above. As described above, according to the present invention, a calorie consumption meter that displays the amount of body fat burned, instead of a conventional simple calorie consumption meter, becomes possible. There is an excellent effect that it can be confirmed.
