In the sensor structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, the pendulum swings up and down due to vibration such as walking, and the magnet at the end of the pendulum moves up and down accordingly. The magnetic force of the magnet is detected by the magnetic force detecting means, and the number of steps is counted. Since a damping material is provided at the other end of the pendulum so as to project in the swinging direction, COB can be used as the upper and lower limit points of the swinging range of the pendulum, for example, without taking a large swinging range of the pendulum. Even if it is regulated, when the pendulum collides with the COB, the damping material intervenes between the two, and the pendulum itself does not directly collide with the COB. Therefore, the vibration and the impact sound when the pendulum collides with the COB depend on the damping material. As well as being absorbed, the COB and pendulum can be protected from impact. Moreover, since the swing range of the pendulum can be set as small as possible by COB, the sensor structure can be made thin.

In the sensor structure according to the second aspect of the invention, the magnetic force of the magnet which also moves up and down together with the pendulum is detected by the magnetic force detecting means.
