Description
前記装着体は、ズボンやスカートなどの下衣または腰ベルトに取り付けるためのクリップなどの挟持具、あるいは腕や足などに取り付けるためのベルトなど、生体または生体連動物品に装着される器具で構成することができる。
前記着脱部は、装着体に設けられた所定の着脱係合部が着脱される適宜のガイド、突起、ネジ山、ネジ溝、孔、または溝などによる係合部で構成することができる。
複数種類の装着体に個別対応して複数設ける着脱部は、例えば着脱方向を異ならせたレールや溝などのガイドを用いて構成する、あるいは同一の着脱方向で平行して設け前記衝突体の個数や配置が異なるように構成するなど、各種の装着体によって着脱する部位が異なるように構成することができる。
この態様により、どの種類の装着体が着脱されたのかを容易に検出することができる。
入力された情報は、モードを切り替えるモード切替情報、あるいは所定の入力指示を示す入力指示情報など、適宜の情報とすることができる。なお、入力装置には、決定した入力情報を出力する出力手段(表示手段や通信手段など)を設けてもよい。
この発明により、衝突体に対する衝撃から入力情報を決定することができる。特に体動検出装置にこの入力装置を採用した場合、加速度検出手段により、体動検出に加えて体動検出以外の入力も検出することができる。
運動量計1は、加速度検知部12、表示部13、演算部14、電源接続部15、記憶部16、操作部17、および電源部18を有しており、携帯型とするべく普通人の手のひらに納まる程度の大きさに形成されている。
電源部18は、充電可能なバッテリーや充電不可の電池など、携帯可能な適宜の電源により構成されている。
演算部14は、電源の投入(電池の装着)を受けて、初期化処理を実行する(ステップS1)。この初期化処理では、演算用パラメータをポケットインモードパラメータに設定する処理も実行する。この初期化処理が完了した後、演算部14は、加速度検知部12で検知した加速度データに対して種々の処理(ステップS2~S12)を実行していく。
このクリップ型装着体4の着脱の有無は、運動量計本体3にクリップ型装着体4が着脱される際に、運動量計本体3の衝突突起33にクリップ型装着体4のリブ43が衝突して現れる加速度の変化から検知する。
腰装着モードでなければ(ステップS4:No)、演算部14は、演算用パラメータを腰装着モードパラメータに設定する(ステップS5)。このとき、演算部14は、体動を演算するプログラムも腰装着体動検出プログラムに切り替え、腰装着モードへ完全に移行する。このステップS4~S5により、運動量計本体3にクリップ型装着体4が取り付けられればすぐに腰装着モードに移行するようにしている。

また、図16(C)に示す固定溝38cを少し狭く形成して該固定溝38cに突起28が嵌まり込むようにし、衝突場所76での衝突が生じないように構成してもよい。この場合、図示左方への衝突であればベルト型装着体2Aが取り付けられたと認識する構成とすることができる。
なお、加速度検知部12は、上方への衝突のみを検出してクリップ型装着体4Aが取り付けられたと認識する構成であってもよい。この場合、図16(A)に示したベルト型装着体2Aを取り付ける際の図示上端の衝突場所72での衝突と区別するように、検出する衝突強度の閾値を設定するとよい。
