可測活動強度之計步器Pedometer capable of measuring activity intensity

本創作係提供一種可測活動強度之計步器,尤指可利用計步器之身體活動加速度感測器感測人體運動10G以下之震盪變化,並由微處理器準確檢測代表身體活動量之數據及步數,以適用於活動量強度更大之身體活動,進而輔助使用者調整運動狀態達成體適能目標。The creation system provides a pedometer capable of measuring the intensity of the activity, in particular, the physical activity acceleration sensor of the pedometer can be used to sense the shock variation of the human body below 10G, and the microprocessor accurately detects the amount of physical activity. The data and the number of steps are applied to the physical activity with a greater amount of activity, thereby assisting the user in adjusting the exercise state to achieve the fitness goal.

按,現今慢跑風氣盛行,不分男女老少、族群、人種及各年齡層次,皆可透過正常規律的慢跑增進或維持心肺能力、肌耐力,同時促進新陳代謝速率、增進免疫能力,以及有助於排除心理壓力、提昇生活的品質等益處,使個人擁有最佳的身心狀態。According to the current jogging style, regardless of gender, ethnicity, ethnicity and all ages, you can improve or maintain your heart and lung ability and muscle endurance through normal regular jogging, while promoting metabolic rate, improving immunity, and helping. Eliminate psychological stress, improve the quality of life and other benefits, so that individuals have the best physical and mental state.

然而,不論是一般的慢跑活動(如彩色路跑、太白粉路跑等)、短k數的路跑、半馬、全馬,甚至是極具挑戰性的山徑路跑、超級馬拉松等路跑運動比賽,許多運動者大都會配戴計步器來計算步數、單(總)趟路程距離、時間、時速(如低速、平速、最高速)、消耗卡路里、日程活動的紀錄等多種功能,讓運動者可根據計步器作路跑訓練的設定,輔以調整身體的運動狀態與體適能目標。However, whether it is general jogging activities (such as color road running, too white powder road running, etc.), short k-number road running, half horse, full horse, even challenging mountain trail running, super marathon, etc. In sports competitions, many athletes wear pedometers to calculate the number of steps, single (total) travel distance, time, speed (such as low speed, flat speed, maximum speed), calories burned, schedule activity records, etc. The function allows the athlete to make a set of road running training according to the pedometer, supplemented by adjusting the body's exercise state and fitness goals.

傳統計步器主要由震動感測器和電子計數器所構成,其中震動感測器係利用一個可任意擺動之平衡錘,當人體步行時重心上下移動 便會改變,即可透過平衡錘受到慣性作用後平衡被破壞使機械開關、光電開關或霍爾元件等產生通電/斷開動作,並由電子計數器進行計算、記錄及顯示出步數完成主要功能,其它路程距離、時間、時速、消耗卡路里等皆由電子電路換算完成,此種利用平衡錘作為震動感測器其雖然具有價格便宜且原理簡單之優勢,但是平衡錘長時間使用下便容易產生機械疲乏,整體使用壽命較短,且因傳統計步器使用時需要垂直地面配戴才能檢測到人體的震動而產生數據記錄,加上每個人走路姿勢、步幅皆不相同,所以除了步數以外其它的數據誤差較大並不準確。The traditional pedometer is mainly composed of a vibration sensor and an electronic counter. The vibration sensor uses a counterweight that can swing freely, and the center of gravity moves up and down when the human body walks. It will change, and the balance can be broken after the counterweight is subjected to inertia, so that the mechanical switch, photoelectric switch or Hall element can be energized/disconnected, and the electronic counter can calculate, record and display the number of steps to complete the main function. Other distances, time, speed, calories burned, etc. are all converted by electronic circuits. This kind of balance hammer is used as a vibration sensor. Although it has the advantages of low price and simple principle, the balance hammer is easy to produce under long-term use. The machine is fatigued, the overall service life is short, and the traditional pedometer needs vertical ground wear to detect the vibration of the human body and generate data records. In addition, each person's walking posture and stride are different, so in addition to the number of steps Other data errors than others are not accurate.

再者,目前市面上亦有業者研發出使用電子式震動感測器 之計步器,係利用電子式震動感測器檢測出人體走路或跑步時所產生之加速度(G值),由於G值的數據曲線會隨著走路姿勢、跑步模式不同會產生有震盪變化,便可利用對G值數據曲線的峰值(如最高點、最低點等)檢測可以得到走路或跑步(身體的上下運動)的步數,相較於傳統計步器所使用之機械式震動感測器,由於電子式震動感測器任何方向皆能夠進行檢測步數,所以可更加的準確檢測出步數與換算出消耗卡路里,且因電子式震動感測器佔用體積很小,使整體外觀設計上更具彈性,惟該電子式震動感測器只能檢測出G值較小的震盪變化僅適用於較低強度之身體活動,若是人體走路姿勢、步幅或跑步模式(如山路跑、上下坡跑等)活動量強度更大時,其G值的震盪變化則將更大,造成電子式震動感測器無法準確的檢測步數與換算出消耗卡路里,因此,要如何能針對不同人的身體活動量更加準確的檢測步數與活動強度辨識,以符合計步器實際上之應用,便為從事此行業者所亟欲研究改善之方向所在。Furthermore, there are also companies in the market that have developed electronic vibration sensors. The pedometer uses an electronic vibration sensor to detect the acceleration (G value) generated when the human body walks or runs, and the data curve of the G value will have a shock change according to the walking posture and the running mode. You can use the peak value of the G value data curve (such as the highest point, the lowest point, etc.) to detect the number of steps that can be walked or run (up and down movement of the body) compared to the mechanical vibration sensing used by traditional pedometers. Since the electronic vibration sensor can detect the number of steps in any direction, the number of steps can be detected more accurately and the calories burned out, and the overall size of the electronic vibration sensor is small. More flexible, but the electronic vibration sensor can only detect oscillating changes with a small G value only for lower-intensity physical activity, if it is a human walking posture, stride or running mode (such as mountain running, up and down When the intensity of the activity is greater, the oscillation of the G value will be greater, causing the electronic vibration sensor to not accurately detect the number of steps and convert the calories burned. Therefore, how can More accurate detection steps and activity intensity identification for different people's physical activity to meet the actual application of the pedometer, is the direction of research and improvement for those engaged in this industry.
