Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cumulative pedometer for measuring the number of steps and the walking distance of a user.

In recent years, the importance of walking has been re-recognized, and the maintenance and improvement of health by walking, and the mitigation of noise, pollution, traffic congestion, etc. due to not using a car can be expected. Therefore, frequent walking is recommended, but it is difficult to motivate people to walk simply by walking in a vague manner. Therefore, if a goal for walking distance can be given, challenged toward that goal, and a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when the goal is achieved can be expected, the number of people willingly walking will increase. The cumulative pedometer of the present invention is very effective in giving such a goal to people.

[0003]

[Prior art]

 Pedometers such as pedometers and pedometers have been known as means for measuring the walking distance. These measures the number of steps and the walking distance that the user has walked.The user can reset the measured number of steps and the walking distance.For example, when performing orienteering, hiking, mountain walking, etc. The user can reset the previous measurement value and measure how many steps and walking distances were required for this step.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Conventional pedometers allow the user to reset the measured steps and walking distance as appropriate, and do not have the function of accumulating and displaying the distance the user has walked for many years. For this reason, for example, when trying to set the target walking distance as described above to 40,000 km, which is equivalent to one round of the earth, the distance of each step that the user walked with the pedometer is determined by the user. You record it yourself in a notebook, etc., and accumulate this yourself to know how much you have reached the goal.

[0005] However, such a method is cumbersome, and it is not always possible to measure an accurate distance because a calculation error occurs, a note cannot be recorded in a note, or the note is forgotten. In particular, if the target walking distance is 40,000 km around the earth, it will take many months to achieve the target, and it will not be easy to manage notes and the like. In addition, in orienteering, etc., the total walking distance of the competition in which the competitor has participated is registered, but this is based on the self-report of the competitor, and the competitor may misunderstand the walking distance of the competitor. For this reason, the reported total walking distance was not always accurate.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to provide a cumulative pedometer that can motivate a person to walk, and can give a sense of satisfaction and satisfaction of walking. I do.

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware connection relationship of an accumulative pedometer (hereinafter, this device) as one embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the device in functional blocks. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a distance measurement process or the like in the present apparatus, FIG. 4 is an external view of an outer case of the present apparatus, and FIG. 5 is an external view showing a state in which an upper lid 82 of the outer case of the present apparatus is opened.

As shown in FIG. 4, the outer case of the present apparatus is formed of a disk having a main body 81 and an upper lid 82, and the upper lid 82 can be opened in a hinge shape. The device, which is housed in this outer case, is small and lightweight, and is suitable for portable use, so that users can carry it around their bodies and walk long distances without any problems.

FIG. 5 shows the appearance when the upper lid 82 of the outer case is opened. As shown, a liquid crystal (LCD) display unit 7 and switch buttons 41 to 43 as various controls are arranged on a panel on the main body 81 side. The button 41 is a reset button, the button 42 is a mode setting button, and the button 43 is a stride setting button. On the upper side of the display unit 7, displays of three setting modes of the number of steps, the distance, and the step length are printed. A talisman 83 is attached to the inner surface of the upper lid 82 by bonding or the like. This attachment may be performed by a talisman holder to which the talisman can be attached detachably.

With reference to FIG. 1, the connection relationship of the hardware of the present apparatus will be described. Although not shown because it is a well-known technique, the count sensor of this device is a pendulum type, and this count sensor is a pendulum that swings around a pivot point in response to each step when the user walks. The magnet is attached to the tip of this pendulum. A pendulum sensor 2 is provided at a position at one end of the swinging stroke at which the tip of the pendulum swings, at a position where the magnet at the tip of the pendulum approaches. The pendulum sensor 2 is composed of a magnetic reed switch that turns on by detecting magnetism when the magnet approaches, and thus outputs one pulse signal indicating on (conduction) in response to the user's one-step operation. . That is, this pulse signal is a detection signal for detecting the user's one-step walking motion.

In FIG. 1, a pulse signal from the pendulum sensor 2 is input to a microcomputer 10. The microcomputer 10 has a memory therein, in which a control program and a work area for work are set. Further, on / off signals from the various switch buttons 41 to 43 described above are also input to the microcomputer 10. Further, a step setting signal by a jumper wire for step setting described later is also input to the microcomputer 10.

A display device is connected to the microcomputer 10. FIG. 1 shows a display example displayed on the screen of the display device when the device is set to the distance measurement mode and a display example when the device is set to the stride setting mode. Display examples to be displayed are shown. As shown, the display in the distance measurement mode shows the cumulative distance in the upper row, the walking distance (step distance) once in the middle row, and the required days in the lower row. In the display in the step count mode, the cumulative number of steps is displayed in the upper row, the number of walking steps per step is displayed in the middle row, and the required number of days is displayed in the lower row. The cumulative distance is a minimum of 1 km to 40,000 km, the walking distance is 0.1 km to a maximum of 99.9 km, and the cumulative number of steps is a minimum of 10,000 steps to a maximum of 99,999,000 steps. Up to 99999 steps, the required number of days is a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 9999 days. Further, as shown in the display in the step setting mode, the step is displayed in the lower stage in the unit of cm in the range of 30 cm to 180 cm.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the apparatus. As shown in the figure, a pulse signal from the pendulum sensor 2 is input to the calculation unit 1 via the filter 3. The filter 3 removes, as noise, a pulse signal continuously input within a predetermined time (mask time) after the input of the pulse signal from the pendulum sensor 2. This is because a certain amount of time (= mask time) is required for one step of walking, and a pulse signal continuously generated within the above time after detecting one step is a noise generated for some reason other than walking. Therefore, this is removed. The filter 3 may be realized by a hardware circuit or by software processing by the microcomputer 10.

The control unit 1 is a functional part that calculates the number of steps or the walking distance of the user based on a pulse signal input from the pendulum sensor 2 via the filter 3, and is realized by software processing by the microcomputer 10. ing. The controller 1 receives switch-on / off signals from the operation buttons 41 to 43 and a clock from the clock circuit 5. This clock circuit comprises a crystal oscillation circuit and a frequency dividing circuit for dividing the oscillation frequency, and supplies a clock of 32 kHz to the control unit 1. The calculation result of the control unit 1 is supplied to a display control circuit 6 of the display device, and the display control circuit 6 controls the LCD display unit 7 to visually display the calculation result on the display screen of the LCD display unit 7 by numerals. indicate.

The power supply of the present apparatus is composed of a coin-shaped lithium battery having an output voltage of 3 V. The lithium battery has a memory backup terminal. Power backup can be performed so that the memory contents are not lost. The battery is fixedly connected to the board by soldering or a strong spring structure so that it cannot be removed freely, so that even if the power is momentarily turned off due to the impact of dropping or hitting the device, The accumulated distance, the number of days, and the like measured by the abnormal operation of the device are not lost. The continuous life of the battery shall be 20 years or more in consideration of the number of days required for the cumulative distance of 40,000 km. If the battery needs to be replaced, remove the external case fixing screw, remove the lithium battery with terminal piece from the board, and attach an equivalent new battery to the board.

The apparatus is provided with a start mechanism for starting (powering on) the apparatus. This start mechanism has a structure in which an insulating film is sandwiched in a part of the power supply line so that power is not supplied to the microcomputer 10 side, and the film can be pulled out from the outside of the outer case. Things. Therefore, this device is started only once, and the user cannot turn on / off the power freely. The power supply line where the film is pulled out is firmly fixed by spring pressure, sticky conductors, or other means, so that the power supply is not turned off by the impact of dropping.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the power of the apparatus is turned on (step S1). This is performed by the user by pulling out the insulating film of the start mechanism described above. This causes the device to start operating. First, the microcomputer 10 performs various initial processes (step S2). Since this is a well-known technique, detailed description will be omitted.

When the initial processing is completed, first, the mode is determined (S3). The mode is such that every time the mode setting button 42 is pressed, the cursor in the display unit 7 is sequentially moved to the display position of the number of steps, the distance, and the stride printed above the display unit 7 shown in FIG. Thus, it is possible to set any of the modes of the step count measurement, the distance measurement, and the stride setting.

When the stride setting mode has been set, the stride setting is performed. This stride setting is for setting a stride per pulse from the pendulum sensor 2 (that is, per user's step), and can be set in a range of 30 cm to 180 cm in 1 cm units. The stride setting can be performed by changing the stride displayed on the display unit 7 by 1 cm each time the stride setting button 43 is pressed. The display of the stride returns to 30 cm when it reaches 180 cm. When the mode is switched to the step setting mode with the mode setting button 42, the step setting value which has been set so far is displayed. The set stride is displayed on the lower part of the display unit 7 in units of 1 cm (step S5). Until the stride setting mode is canceled, the processing of steps S3, S4, and S5 is repeated.

Next, when the measurement mode of the number of steps or the distance is set by the mode setting button 42, the setting of the measurement mode is detected in the mode determination process of step S3. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a pulse signal input (that is, a step number input) from the pendulum sensor 2 (step S6). When a pulse signal is input, one count is made at the rising edge of the pulse signal, and even if there is a pulse signal continuously input within a predetermined mask time from that time, it is not counted as one count. That is, the mask processing by the filter 3 is performed. Thus, when the pulse signal is counted by one, it is determined that the user has performed a one-step walking operation. If it is determined in step S6 that there is no input of the number of steps, the process jumps to step S10 described later.

If it is determined that a pulse signal has been input, a cumulative walking value is calculated (step S 7). The calculation of the cumulative walking value is such that, for the step count measurement mode, the number of steps corresponding to one pulse signal (one step in the present embodiment) is added (added) to the cumulative number of steps thus far accumulated. In addition, for the distance measurement mode, a walking distance equivalent to one pulse (in this embodiment, one step set in the step setting mode) is added (added) to the accumulated walking distance accumulated up to that time. It goes. As a result, the cumulative number of walking steps and the walking distance of the user measured by the user since the start of the apparatus is calculated by the apparatus. This device is not provided with an operator for resetting the cumulative value of the number of walking steps and the walking distance to zero.

In the present apparatus, the start value and the end value of the calculation of the cumulative walking value can be set for each step. For example, if the total walking distance is 40,000 km, it is divided into the following nine steps, and the minimum and maximum values of each step are set as a start value and an end value, respectively. In this case, the following distance is used as it is for the distance measurement mode, while the number of steps corresponding to the following distance is used as the start value or the end value for the number of steps measurement mode. The start value and end value of each stage are stored in the internal memory of the microcomputer 10 in advance. Start value to end value First stage 0 km to 1000 km Second stage 1000 km to 5000 km Third stage 5000 km to 10000 km Fourth stage 10,000 km to 15000 km Fifth stage 15000 km to 20000 km Sixth stage 20000 km to 25000 km Seventh stage 25000 km 30000 km to 35000 km Ninth step 35000 km to 40000 km Which of these steps can be recognized by the microcomputer 10 by a step setting signal based on a jumper wire connection combination shown in FIG. When the apparatus is started by turning on the power, the apparatus starts the cumulative calculation of the cumulative walking value from the start value at the set stage, and stops the cumulative calculation when it reaches the end value. When "No step setting" is set for the connection combination of the jumper wires, 0 km to 40,000 km can be continuously measured.

When the cumulative walking value calculation is completed, one walking value calculation is performed next (step S8). In this one-step walking value calculation, for the number-of-steps measurement mode, the number of steps (one step in the present embodiment) corresponding to one pulse signal is added to the one number of walking steps measured so far (cumulative). In addition, for the distance measurement mode, one walking distance measured so far corresponds to a walking distance equivalent to one pulse (in this embodiment, one step set in the stride setting mode). Is added (cumulative). Thus, in one walk (step), the number of walking steps and the walking distance of the user measured by the user are calculated by the present apparatus. Note that this one walk (step) is determined by resetting the number of walk steps or the walk distance measured so far to zero, and restarting the measurement again from there. The number of walking steps or the walking distance can be reset by pressing a reset button 41.

When one walk value calculation is completed, the required days are counted next (step S 9). This counting is performed by measuring time with reference to a clock supplied from the clock circuit 5 and converting the time into days. The starting point of the count is the time when the device is started, and therefore, the number of days counted is the number of days required for the above-described cumulative steps or cumulative walking distance. This device is not equipped with an operator that allows the user to reset the required number of days to zero.

When the required number of days has been counted, the cumulative walking value (cumulative step count in the step counting mode, the cumulative walking distance in the distance measuring mode) and the one walking value (step counting mode) obtained in steps S7 to S9 described above. The display control circuit 6 of the display device is instructed to display the number of steps sometimes, the walking distance in the distance measurement mode, and the required number of days on the display unit 7 (step S10). The unit of display is a minimum of 1km unit for the cumulative walking distance value, a minimum of 10,000 steps for the cumulative number of steps, a minimum of 0.1km for one walking distance, a minimum of one step for one walking step, The required number of days is a minimum of one day. When the display process is completed, the process returns to the mode determination process in step S3, and the above process is repeated until the battery life is over.

Various modifications are possible for implementing the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the cumulative walking value, one walking value, and the number of days required are simultaneously displayed on the display unit 7 in three steps. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The display may be switched so that these displays are sequentially displayed on the display unit 7. In addition, the pendulum type count sensor supplies one pulse signal to the micro computer for one step of the user, but the present invention is not limited to this. On the other hand, the configuration may be such that a pulse signal for detecting this is supplied to the microcomputer. In this case, the measurement calculation of the accumulated walking value or one walking value is to add the walking distance corresponding to the plurality of steps or the plurality of steps. In the above-described embodiment, the display mode in the measurement mode is the cumulative distance + 1 walking distance + required days or the cumulative number of steps + 1 walking steps + required days. May be displayed in the form of the number of walking steps + the required number of days.
