Good. The temperature sensor arranged in the grip part 102 may be an example of a grip part temperature measurement part, and the temperature sensor arranged in the weight part 104 may be an example of a weight part temperature measurement part.

  The temperature acquisition unit 204 may acquire the temperature measured by another temperature sensor via the communication unit 110.

For example, the heart rate acquisition unit 206 acquires the user's heart rate measured by a heart rate sensor worn by the user via the communication unit 110.

  The weight acquisition unit 208 measures the weight of the dumbbell 100. For example, the weight acquisition unit 208 calculates the weight by converting the pressure output from the pressure sensor 120 into a weight. The weight acquisition unit 208 may measure the weight of the dumbbell 100 based on the output value of the gyro sensor 114.

  The calorie consumption estimation unit 210 estimates the user's calorie consumption based on the movement of the dumbbell 100 measured by the gyro sensor 114. The calorie consumption estimation unit 210 estimates the calorie consumption in accordance with, for example, the METs (Metabolic Equivalents) method. That is, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 is the weight of the user stored in the personal data storage unit 212, the duration during which the gyro sensor 114 detects exercise using the dumbbell 100, and the number of METs of dumbbell exercise 3.5. Calories burned may be estimated by multiplying ~ 6.0 and 1.05.

  Further, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may estimate the calorie consumption by another calculation method. For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 refers to data in which the calorie consumption consumed by repeating the dumbbell 100 once is registered, and calculates the calorie consumption by multiplying the number of repetitions measured by the gyro sensor 114. Good.

  The calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may further estimate the calorie consumption based on the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 204. For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may calculate the calorie consumption by multiplying the calorie consumption calculated according to the METs method or the like by a coefficient indicating a smaller value as the ambient temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 204 is higher. Thus, the calorie consumption value can be calculated such that the higher the ambient temperature, the smaller the calorie consumption value, and the lower the ambient temperature, the greater the calorie consumption value.

  Further, for example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 calculates the calorie consumption by multiplying the calorie consumption calculated according to the METs method or the like by a coefficient indicating a larger value as the user's body temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 204 is higher. Good. Thus, the calorie consumption can be calculated such that the higher the body temperature, the more calorie consumption, and the lower the body temperature, the less calorie consumption. Furthermore, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may calculate calorie consumption based on both the ambient temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 204 and the body temperature of the user.

  In addition, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may calculate the calorie consumption by adding the calorie consumption due to exercise and the basal metabolism. For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 calculates the daily basal metabolism of the user using the Harris Benedict formula. That is, the daily basal metabolism of the user is calculated by applying the weight, height, and age of the user to the formula (1) or the formula (2).

  And the calorie consumption estimation part 210 converts a user's daily basal metabolism into the basal metabolism of the time when the user exercised. For example, if the exercise time is 1 hour, the basal metabolism calculated using the Harris Benedict formula is divided by 24.

  Furthermore, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may apply the user's body temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 204 to the calculated basal metabolism. For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 multiplies the calculated basal metabolism by a coefficient so that the basal metabolism increases as the body temperature increases. Specifically, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may calculate the basal metabolism by multiplying the basal metabolism by 7% as much as the user's body temperature increases by 1 Fahrenheit. Thereby, the basal metabolism in consideration of the user's body temperature can be calculated.

  Furthermore, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may apply the ambient temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 204 to the calculated basal metabolism.

Thereby, the archer can switch on / off the sound while continuing the exercise.

  Further, the output control unit 220 may output a comparison result by comparing a motion indicating a pre-registered exercise form with a motion measured by the gyro sensor 114. For example, when it can be determined that the measured movement matches the movement indicating the registered exercise form, the output control unit 220 causes the speaker 108 to output a voice message indicating that the exercise can be continued as it is. Further, the output control unit 220 may cause the speaker 108 to output a voice message so as to approach the registered exercise form when it cannot be determined that the measured movement matches the movement indicating the registered exercise form.

  Here, the output control unit 220 may change the reproduction speed of the music data based on the output value of the gyro sensor 114. For example, the output control unit 220 compares the speed of the repetitive motion using the dumbbell 100 with a predetermined threshold, and the higher the speed compared to the threshold, the faster the music data playback speed, and the speed compared to the threshold. The slower the is, the slower the music data playback speed. This allows the user to recognize whether the exercise speed is faster or slower than the reference speed.

  Further, the output control unit 220 may cause the speaker 108 to output the sound stored in the sound storage unit 222 based on the output value of the gyro sensor 114 in order to realize a so-called sound game. For example, the output control unit 220 causes the speaker 108 to play music, compares the timing at which the gyro sensor 114 is raised and lowered with a predetermined timing, and causes the speaker 108 to output sound corresponding to the comparison result. As an example, a voice such as “Beep, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Good, Good, Excel” is reproduced.

  Further, the output control unit 220 may control at least one of the display 106 and the speaker 108 according to the state of charge of the battery 132. For example, when the remaining amount of charge of the battery 132 is below a predetermined threshold, the output control unit 220 outputs a message warning that the remaining amount of charge is low to at least one of the display 106 and the speaker 108. Let As a result, it is possible to prompt charging before the battery 132 is completely charged.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the output control unit 220 controls output to the display 106, the speaker 108, and the light emitting unit 109 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Thereby, various outputs can be provided to a user who performs exercise by the dumbbell 100 near the information terminal 300.

  The dumbbell 100 may execute processing in conjunction with the information terminal 300. For example, when an exercise schedule is registered in the calendar function of the information terminal 300, when the scheduled exercise time is reached, the output control unit 220 of the dumbbell 100 controls the speaker 108 to output an alert sound. . As a result, the user can be made aware that the exercise was scheduled. The output control unit 220 may continue outputting the alert sound until the grip determining unit 202 detects gripping of the gripping unit 102, and may stop outputting the alert sound when gripping is detected. This can prompt the user to hold the dumbbell 100.

  Further, when the exercise is not measured continuously for a predetermined period by the gyro sensor 114, the dumbbell 100 may transmit that fact to at least one of the information terminal 300 and the data server 30. Then, the information terminal 300 and the data server 30 may publish a message on the Internet 10 indicating that the user has not exercised for a while. As an example of publication on the Internet, posting on Facebook, tweeting on Twitter, etc. can be exemplified. Thereby, the user can be encouraged to exercise using his feeling that he does not want to be disclosed that he is not exercising.

  The dumbbell 100 may transmit the number of exercises measured by the gyro sensor 114 to the information terminal 300, and the information terminal 300 may use the received information on the number of exercises for the application. For example, the information terminal 300 executes processing such as progressing the game as the number of exercises received increases in so-called breeding games and love games. Thereby, the user can be encouraged to exercise by utilizing the user's feeling of wanting to advance the game.

  Further, the dumbbell 100 may execute processing in conjunction with a terminal other than the information terminal 300 and the data server 30. For example, the dumbbell 100 may be interlocked with home appliances. As an example, the dumbbell 100 may communicate with an air conditioner to lower the temperature setting of the air conditioner when the gyro sensor 114 measures intense exercise in conjunction with a so-called air conditioner.

  FIG. 7 schematically shows another example of the configuration of the dumbbell 100. Here, the dumbbell 100 will be described mainly with respect to differences from FIG. The dumbbell 100 shown in FIG. 7 includes a weight holding unit 150 that holds an external weight 240. Here, the weight holding part 150 has a bolt shape, and the weight 240 has a nut shape. Further, the weight holding unit 150 includes a pressure sensor 152 that measures the pressure tightened by the nut-shaped weight 240.

  The processing unit 112 acquires the pressure measured by the pressure sensor 152. The processing unit 112 may determine whether the acquired pressure is lower than a predetermined reference. And when the acquired pressure is lower than a predetermined reference | standard, the output control part 220 may perform a notification process. For example, the output control unit 220 causes the display 106, the speaker 108, and the light emitting unit 109 to output an alert. Thereby, the user can be notified that the holding force for holding the weight 240 is low.

  The processing unit 112 may periodically acquire the pressure from the pressure sensor 152 and determine whether it is lower than a predetermined reference. The processing unit 112 may execute the acquisition of pressure and the determination as to whether or not the pressure is lower than the reference only while the grip determination unit 202 determines that the grip unit 102 is gripped. The processing unit 112 may be an example of a holding power determination unit, and the output control unit 220 may be an example of a notification process execution unit.

  FIG. 8 schematically shows another example of the configuration of the dumbbell 100. Here, the dumbbell 100 will be described mainly with respect to differences from FIG. The dumbbell 100 shown in FIG. 8 includes a first weight holding portion 154 that holds an externally attached first weight 242 and a second weight holding portion 156 that holds an externally attached second weight 244. Here, the first weight holding part 154 and the second weight holding part 156 have a bolt shape, and the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 have a nut shape.

  The first vibration sensor 246 and the second vibration sensor 248 have a wireless communication function, and execute wireless communication with the communication unit 110. The communication unit 110 receives vibration information indicating vibrations of the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 measured by the first vibration sensor 246 and the second vibration sensor 248, respectively. Then, the processing unit 112 acquires vibration information from the communication unit 110.

  Based on the vibration information acquired from the first vibration sensor 246 and the vibration information acquired from the second vibration sensor 248, the processing unit 112 receives the holding force by the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 in advance. It is determined whether or not it is lower than a predetermined standard. For example, when the difference between the vibration indicated by the vibration information acquired from the first vibration sensor 246 and the vibration indicated by the vibration information acquired from the second vibration sensor 248 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the processing unit 112 In addition, it is determined that the holding force by the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 is lower than a predetermined reference.

  When the holding force of the first weight holding unit 154 is reduced, when the holding force of the second weight holding unit 156 is reduced, and when both holding forces are reduced, the first weight is retained during the exercise. The weight 242 and the second weight 244 vibrate. For example, when the holding force of one of the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 is reduced, one of the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 vibrates. Further, when the holding force of both the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 is reduced, the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 exhibit different vibrations depending on the degree of reduction. .

  Therefore, when the difference between the vibration indicated by the vibration information acquired from the first vibration sensor 246 and the vibration indicated by the vibration information acquired from the second vibration sensor 248 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the first weight is set. The holding force for at least one of the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 is reduced by determining that the holding force by the holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 is lower than a predetermined reference. Can be determined.

  When the processing unit 112 determines that the holding force is lower than the set standard, the output control unit 220 executes notification processing. For example, the output control unit 220 causes the display 106, the speaker 108, and the light emitting unit 109 to output an alert. Thereby, the user can be notified that the holding force for holding the weight 240 is low. In addition, when the user is exercising normally, vibration may be applied to the first vibration sensor 246 and the second vibration sensor 248. In this case, the first vibration sensor 246 and the second vibration sensor 248 are substantially not applied. In many cases, the same vibration is applied to the. Therefore, the processing unit 112 can prevent the alert from being output in such a case by comparing the vibration difference.

  The communication unit 110 may be an example of a vibration measurement result receiving unit. The processing unit 112 may be an example of a holding force determination unit. The output control unit 220 may be an example of a notification process execution unit. The first vibration sensor 246 may be an example of a first vibration measurement unit. The second vibration sensor 248 may be an example of a second vibration measurement unit.

  In FIG. 8, the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 have a bolt shape, and the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 have a nut shape as an example. However, it is not limited to this. Instead of holding by the bolt shape and the nut shape, each of the first weight holding portion 154 and the second weight holding portion 156 may hold the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 by magnetic force. The processing unit 112 determines whether the holding force of the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 is lower than a predetermined reference based on the vibration information acquired from the first vibration sensor 246 and the second vibration sensor 248. It may be determined whether or not.

  In addition, the first weight 242 and the second weight 244 may not include the first vibration sensor 246 and the second vibration sensor 248. In this case, the processing unit 112 includes the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight sensor 154. Based on the strength of the magnetic force of the double weight holding unit 156, it may be determined whether or not the holding force is lower than a predetermined reference. For example, the dumbbell 100 includes a first gauss meter (not shown) that measures the magnetic force of the first weight holding unit 154 and a second gauss meter (not shown) that measures the magnetic force of the second weight holding unit 156. Then, when the magnetic force acquired from the first gauss meter and the second gauss meter is less than a predetermined threshold value, the processing unit 112 determines the holding force by the first weight holding unit 154 and the second weight holding unit 156 in advance. It is determined that it is lower than the specified standard.

  FIG. 9 schematically shows another example of the configuration of the dumbbell 100. Here, the dumbbell 100 will be described mainly with respect to differences from FIG. The dumbbell 100 includes a driving unit 162, a driving unit 164, an infrared sensor 166, and a charging electrode 168.

  The driving unit 162 and the driving unit 164 are disposed on the grip unit 102. The driving unit 162 and the driving unit 164 rotate the weight unit 104. When the dumbbell 100 is disposed on the floor or the like, the driving unit 162 and the driving unit 164 rotationally drive the weight unit 104, whereby the dumbbell 100 moves. The driving unit 162 and the driving unit 164 can independently rotate the weight unit 104, and the dumbbell 100 can move forward, backward, rotate, and the like.

  The infrared sensor 166 detects the infrared ray 52 output from the station 50. The processing unit 112 can grasp the relative position of the station 50 based on the detection result of the infrared ray 52 by the infrared sensor 166. The processing unit 112 has recognized that the exercise by the dumbbell 100 has not been performed for a predetermined period or longer based on the determination result of the grip determination unit 202, the acquisition result of the temperature acquisition unit 204, the acquisition result of the heartbeat acquisition unit 206, and the like. In some cases, the drive unit 162, the drive unit 164, and the infrared sensor 166 may be controlled to move the dumbbell 100 to the station 50. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the dumbbell 100 from being left unattended.

  The charging electrode 168 contacts the power supply unit 54 of the station 50 when the dumbbell 100 moves to the station 50. The charging electrode 168 supplies the power received through the power supply unit 54 to the battery 132. Thereby, the battery 132 can be charged.

  The processing unit 112 may drive the driving unit 162 and the driving unit 164 to rotate the weight unit 104 while the user grips and exercises the dumbbell 100. Thereby, the load by rotation can be given to a user and the efficiency of exercise can be improved.

  For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 detects the moving direction of the dumbbell 100 from the output value of the gyro sensor 114, and calculates the moving distance of the dumbbell 100 by integrating the output value of the acceleration sensor twice. Then, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 calculates the calorie consumption from the weight of the dumbbell 100 acquired by the weight acquisition unit 208 and the travel distance of the dumbbell 100. The calorie consumption estimation unit 210 calculates calorie consumption from the weight and the travel distance by using a conversion table for converting the weight of the dumbbell 100 and the travel distance of the dumbbell 100 into the calorie consumption, for example.

  The calorie consumption estimation unit 210 may estimate the calorie consumption from only the output value of the gyro sensor 114. For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 estimates the calorie consumption by using a conversion table for converting the output value of the gyro sensor 114 into the calorie consumption. Moreover, the calorie consumption estimation part 210 may estimate a calorie consumption only from the output value of an acceleration sensor. For example, the calorie consumption estimation unit 210 estimates the calorie consumption by using a conversion table for converting the output value of the acceleration sensor into the calorie consumption.
