Embodiment 1 FIG.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a mobile phone incorporating a pedometer according to the first embodiment. The wireless unit 11 includes a transmission / reception function for performing wireless communication and an antenna. The baseband processing unit 12 processes audio data. The receiver 13 outputs a received voice. The transmitter 14 has a function of inputting a transmitted voice. The pedometer function unit 15 senses the start and end of walking, counts the number of steps between them, and processes the number of steps data to calculate the walking distance. In the case of intermittent walking, the total number of steps can be counted by adding the number of steps of the intermittent walking.

  The time measuring unit 16 has a function of counting time such as a clock function and a timer function. The control unit 17 controls the functions of the entire mobile phone including the pedometer. The sounder 18 sounds a warning sound. The display unit 19 displays various types of information on the mobile phone, and in addition, displays various types of information regarding the pedometer function. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the display unit 19. As shown in FIG. 2, the weight value and the stride value are displayed on the display unit 19. In the initial state, the weight value and the stride value are set to default values. The display unit 19 displays such default values and the user's own weight value and stride value input by the user as the set current weight value and stride value.

  The memory 20 stores various information of the mobile phone and information related to the pedometer function. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of information held in the memory 20. The memory 20 holds information such as a step length input value A, a step count value B, a walking distance C, a weight input value O, a walking time P, and a calorie consumption Q.

  The stride input value A is a default value or the user's own stride value input from the input unit 21 by the user. The step count value B is the number of steps when the user walks, which is measured by the pedometer function unit 15. The walking distance C is a value calculated based on the step length input value A and the step count value B. The weight input value O is a default value or the user's own weight value input from the input unit 21 by the user. The walking time P is the user's walking time measured by the time measuring unit 16. The calorie consumption Q is a value calculated based on the weight input value O and the walking time P.

  The input unit 21 inputs information necessary for the communication function of the mobile phone such as character input and dial selection, and also inputs necessary information related to the pedometer function.

  FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the pedometer function unit 15 in detail. The vibration detection sensor 151 detects walking from the vibration of the human body, the amplifier unit 152 amplifies the electrical signal output from the vibration detection sensor 151, and the filter unit 153 is included in the electrical signal output from the amplifier unit 152. Remove noise.

  The calculation unit 154 performs various calculations using the walking detection signal output from the filter unit 153 to determine walking. Further, this determines the number of steps. Also, the walking distance is calculated from the step length input in advance based on the number of steps. Note that the calculation unit 154 may include a part or all of the functions in the control unit 17.

  Next, the operation of the electronic device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the electronic apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. First, the pedometer function is activated (S51). The activation of the pedometer may be linked to the activation of the mobile phone or may not be linked.

  Further, even when the function of the mobile phone is stopped, the pedometer function can be activated alone. Furthermore, it may be activated in conjunction with a function (for example, a map function) closely related to the pedometer. The step count is measured without changing the default stride value at the time of factory shipment (S52). Here, the default stride value data is the memory “stride input value A” in FIG. 3. The number of steps is counted by the pedometer function (S53).

  This step count data is updated and stored in the memory “step count count value B” in FIG. The default stride value is changed and the original stride value is input (S54). The stride value can be input, for example, on the display screen of FIG. When the stride value data is re-input, the stride value is rewritten from “step input value A” to “step input value A ′” as shown in FIG.

The walking distance is recalculated with the changed stride value (S55). When the step length input value is rewritten, the walking distance data changes from “walking distance C” to “walking distance C ′”, and is recalculated and rewritten. In general, the walking distance is calculated by the following equation.
"Step length" x "Step count" = walking distance

  Therefore, if the stride is changed, the walking distance is also changed. When the walking distance is displayed, the recalculated “walking distance C ′” is displayed.

  Conventionally, even when the stride value is changed, the walking distance up to the time of the change is not recalculated, and thus the walking distance is calculated and displayed with the default stride value. Therefore, since the walking distance obtained by adding the correct walking distance after the step change to the incorrect walking distance until the step change is displayed, the entire walking distance is also an incorrect walking distance.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the walking distance calculated before changing to an accurate stride is recalculated using the newly input accurate stride, thereby changing to an accurate stride. The erroneous walking distance calculated before can be corrected to an accurate value.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the configuration / operation for recalculating the walking distance when the stride is changed has been described. However, the feature of the second embodiment is that the calorie consumption is recalculated when the weight is changed. In the point.

  Since the configuration of the second embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, only portions different from the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The time measuring unit 16 counts the time during which the pedometer function unit 15 determines that walking is in progress. The control part 17 calculates calorie consumption from the weight previously input based on this walking time. The calorie consumption may be calculated by the calculation unit 154 of the pedometer function unit 15.

  The operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The pedometer function is activated (S61). The activation of the pedometer may be interlocked with the activation of the mobile phone or may not be interlocked. It is also assumed that the pedometer function can be activated alone even when the function of the mobile phone is stopped. Furthermore, it may be activated in conjunction with a function (for example, a map function) closely related to the pedometer.

  The number of steps is measured without changing the default weight value at the time of factory shipment (S62). The default weight value data is the memory “weight input value O” in FIG. The walking time is counted by the pedometer function and the time measuring function (S63). This walking time data is updated and stored in the memory “walking time P” in FIG. The calorie consumption is calculated from the walking time and weight (S64). The default weight value is changed and the original weight value is input (S65). The weight value can be input on the display screen of FIG. 2, for example. When the weight value data is re-input, the stride value is rewritten from “weight input value O” to “weight input value O ′” as shown in FIG.

  The calorie consumption is recalculated using the changed weight value (S66). When the weight input value is rewritten, the calorie consumption data is recalculated from “calorie consumption Q” to “calorie consumption Q ′” and rewritten. In general, calorie consumption is calculated by the following equation.

Calorie consumption [kcal] = 3.15 × walking time [hour] × weight [kg]
Therefore, if the weight is changed, the calorie consumption is also changed. When displaying the calorie consumption, the recalculated “calorie consumption Q ′” is displayed.

  The above calorie consumption calculation formula is calculated with reference to “Exercise Standard 2006 for Health Promotion-Physical Activity / Exercise / Physical Strength—Report: Exercise Review / Exercise Committee for Exercise Guidelines”. .

  Conventionally, even if the weight value is changed, the calorie consumption up to the time of change is not recalculated, and the calorie consumption calculated with the default weight value is displayed. Therefore, since the calorie consumption was displayed by adding the correct calorie consumption after the change of the user's weight to the incorrect calorie consumption until the weight value was changed to the user's weight value, the total calorie consumption was also changed to the incorrect calorie consumption. It was displayed.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the accurate weight value is changed by recalculating the calorie consumption calculated before the change to the accurate weight value using the newly input accurate weight value. The incorrect calorie consumption calculated before the correction can be corrected to an accurate value.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the electronic device having the pedometer function is described as being a mobile phone terminal, but the electronic device according to the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone terminal. For example, the electronic device can be configured as a pedometer itself.
