Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a health device, and more particularly to a gait counter of the health device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The conventional walk counter simply counts the number of walks and does not have a function of dividing the number of walks according to the purpose of walking.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since this type of conventional walk counter has only one counter that counts the number of steps, if you try to count the number of steps according to the purpose of walking, the counter is reset once when the purpose of walking changes. However, there was a drawback in that the counting for a new walking purpose had to be started and the total number of steps for each purpose could not be obtained.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a function capable of counting the number of steps for each walking purpose by having a plurality of counters for counting the number of steps.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention detects a step count and generates a step count detecting unit for generating an output corresponding to the step count, a first counter for counting the output, and a n-th output. Up to a second counter, a switch for determining which of the first or second counters should count the output, and the contents of any one of the counters to a decimal number. The display driver, a display for displaying the decimal number according to the output of the display driver, and a switch for resetting at least the first and second counters at the same time.

Further, in addition to the above configuration, an adder for adding the contents of the first counter and the second counter, an instruction to execute the addition process to the adder, and a result of the addition are described above. The display is provided with an addition switch for instructing to display in decimal.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to this invention, since there are a plurality of counters for counting the number of steps, the number of steps for each walking purpose can be counted, and the number of steps for each purpose can be accumulated and stored, the walking purpose which is a drawback of the conventional walking counter is It solves the problem of having to reset the walking count each time it changes.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a logical block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a step number detection unit for detecting the number of steps, 21 is a first counter for counting the number of steps, 22 is a second counter for the same, and 3 is a step number for counting. A switch for selecting which counter is used, 4 is a display driver for converting the contents of the counter into a decimal number and driving the display, 5 is a display, and 6 is a reset for the first counter and the second counter. It is a reset switch.

FIG. 2 is a logical block diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention, and the steps from the step number detecting unit 1 to the reset switch 6 are the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG.

The difference here is that an adder 7 that adds the contents of the first counter 21 and the second counter 22 and an addition switch 8 that issues an addition instruction are newly provided.

In order to facilitate the description in both FIGS. 1 and 2, the number of counters for counting the number of steps is set to two, but this can be appropriately added. Further, the second counter 22 will be described below as counting up to the nth output of the step number detection unit 1, but the nth value may be changed as appropriate. That is, as a method of this change, a plurality of second counters having different values may be provided in advance, and although not shown here, the set value n is appropriately changed from the outside to the second counter. It may be configured by a known means that enables it.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. The step detecting unit 1 is adapted to detect and output a pulse each time a person wearing the gait counter walks. This pulse is input to the first and second counters 21 and 22.

At the input sections of the counters 21 and 22, the positive or negative state of the selection switch 3 is input as a condition for which counter is used to count the pulse of the walking detection section 1. That is, the selection switch 3 determines the counter that counts the number of walks.

The selected counter counts the pulses from the walking detection unit 1. This is the total number of steps for one walking purpose. The output of the counter selected by the selection switch 1 is logically connected to the display driver 4.

The display driver 4 converts the contents of the counter into a decimal number and, at the same time, drives the display unit 5. Therefore, the display 5 displays the content of the selected counter in decimal.

The switch 6 is connected to the reset terminals of the first counter 21 and the second counter 22, and the contents of the counters are cleared to zero by pushing down the switches. The switch 6 may also be connected to the display unit 5 so that the displayed content is cleared to zero.

Next, the embodiment of FIG. 2 will be described. In FIG. 2, an adder 7 and an addition switch 8 are added to FIG. 1, and the contents of both the first counter 21 and the second counter 22 are added by the adder 7 in accordance with the instruction of the addition switch 8. The result is similarly displayed on the display 5 through the display driver 4 by the instruction of the addition switch 8.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to count the number of walks according to the purpose of walking, and further, it is possible to easily accumulate the number of steps for each purpose, thus providing a walk counter that is not as easy to use as ever before. There is an effect that you can.
