Means the number of steps per hour,

Means speed.

The stride length of an object is, on average, a continuous speed in a short section, but a discontinuous distribution appears in a specific speed section. This discontinuous distribution of speed mainly occurs in a section in which the motion state of the object changes, for example, when the athlete's step changes from a slow state to a fast state, or when the athlete changes from a fast state to a running state. As the stride length changes, the speed shows a discontinuous distribution.

When generating the correction parameter, the server device 400 acquires information on the stride length based on the received acceleration information, angular acceleration information, and GPS information, and the speed is discontinuously distributed as described above based on the obtained stride length information. The speed section in which is shown is defined as state information, and the length of the stride can be approximated by a polynomial according to the speed according to the speed section for each state information.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 8, the server device 400 may generate a graph for the number of steps according to speed and a graph for the stride length.

For example, referring to (b) of FIG. 8, the number of steps per hour and the length of the stride are discontinuous at a speed of about 6 m/s and a speed of about 11 m/s.

Thereafter, the server device 400 may calculate the speed by applying the relationship between the stride length and speed obtained when generating the correction parameter to the obtained number of steps per hour.

Finally, the server device 400 may further obtain an acceleration value and a deceleration value based on the calculated speed, and the angular acceleration information and acceleration information received from the motion information providing device 200 and the acquired speed and acceleration By synthesizing the value and deceleration value information, an estimation index for the momentum information can be calculated.

As described above, according to an embodiment, the GPS receiver and sensor for acquiring GPS information are provided only in the correction device to generate the correction parameter, and the exercise information providing device worn by the object to measure the amount of exercise several times includes a GPS receiver. And since the sensor is not provided, it is possible to measure the amount of exercise several times without having a GPS device having a high power consumption and a heavy weight except for the first time for generating the correction parameter from the object's point of view. It has the advantage of being easy.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when a correction parameter is obtained through a correction device at the time of first use, after the first use, various exercise information can be calculated only through an exercise information providing device equipped with only an acceleration sensor device, a processor, and a memory.
