JPH11160095A - Walking distance indicator - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking distance recorder in which a user can grasp the extent of achievement easily by indicating a target walking distance and the extent of achievement by the name of an actual city. SOLUTION: A walking distance indicator comprises a vibration detecting element 7, a microcomputer 10, an ROM 9, an RAM 8, a liquid crystal indicating element 5, and SW2, SW3, SW4. The name of an actual city is set at a target walking point and the distance to that point, information of passing points, and the like, are recorded in the ROM 9. When a user carries the indicator at the time of walking motion, vibration is detected by the vibration detecting element and converted through the microcomputer 10 into the number of steps or the distance being recorded in the RAM 8. When an SW is turned on by a user, ROM information corresponding to RAM recording is displayed so that the user can advance while walking through the name of actual city and grasp the extent of achievement easily.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a walking recorder for recording the number of walking steps.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as the above-mentioned walking distance display, there have been provided those which record the number of walking or convert the number of walking into calorie expenditure and display. These were only presentations of simple results.

[0003] That is, in the above-described gait recorder, it is difficult to understand the degree of achievement if the user does not have a goal.

[0004]

If there is a device that allows a user to have a walking target and easily grasp the degree of achievement, the user can recognize the motivation to continue the exercise and can continue the exercise while having fun.

[0005]

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems.

That is, in the present invention, the real city is stored as a set target in the ROM, and the degree of achievement of the target is displayed at any time, so that the user can easily grasp the present achievement status and the target is a real city. It is characterized by the fact that you can feel and enjoy and continue exercising.

According to the present invention, by setting the target to be a real city, the user can simulate a trip to a city, and can also sense the intermediate city and the distance to the intermediate city as a measure of exercise achievement. Is easy to grasp.

[0008]

By displaying on the gait recording device as if the user is proceeding while simulating a trip to the real destination city as described above, it is possible to provide a measure for the user to continue exercising while having fun. I can do it.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, when the user walks and carries with the power switch SW4 turned on, the vibration caused by walking is detected, converted into the number of steps, and recorded in the RAM.

The contents of the RAM are compared with the contents of the ROM, and SW
2 displays the distance to the target real city, and SW3 displays the distance to the real nearby city.

FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram of the present invention.

The signal from the vibration detecting element 5 is converted into the number of steps and the distance by the microcomputer 10 and stored in the RAM 8. In addition, the contents of the ROM 9 corresponding to the contents of the RAM 8 are displayed on the liquid crystal display element 7 by inputting SW2 and SW3.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the actual place name is displayed on the pedometer and the user exercises while performing a simulated trip, so that the user can easily set the target and achieve the target achievement. You can simulate the process.

Further, by displaying the transit city on the way, the user can also set a short-term goal, and can motivate the user to continue exercising.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A vibration sensing element, comprising a microcomputer, a liquid crystal display element, a switch, a battery, and a storage element. The number of walks measured by the vibration sensing element and the microcomputer is recorded in a RAM, and a walking purpose real city is recorded in a ROM. A walking distance display that records the distance and information to the destination city by recording the distance and information to the real city, converting the number of walks recorded in the RAM into a distance, and comparing it with the ROM distance.
