Description

[0016]
FIG. 1 is an external view of a pedometer to which the present invention is applied. A display unit 2 is provided on the pedometer main body 1, and a power switch 3 and a setting for inputting personal data of weight in the lower part of the display unit 2. mode, step number display mode for displaying the total step number, the energy consumption display mode button 4 for switching the three modes of the mode for displaying the energy consumption value, up button 5 and down buttons 6 for use when entering data, input data the setting button 7 to confirm the provision.

[0021]
When the mode button 4 is pressed in the consumption energy display mode of step S8, the setting mode is set. In this setting mode, the triangle indication mark of the display unit 2 at the position corresponding to the character of "setting" described on the right side of the pedometer main body 1 is displayed (step S12). Next, it is determined whether or not the mode button 4 has been pressed. If the mode button 4 has been pressed, the process returns to the normal step number display mode. If the mode button 4 is not pressed, the setting is actually performed (step S13).

[0027]
Further, the present invention is not a walking time, since the calculation of the energy consumption by using a walking coefficient for determining the energy consumption from the number of steps, the operation of the walking start and walking ends also keeps, even walking stop is repeated again and again operation In addition to no errors in the results, even ordinary exercisers can easily find energy consumption regardless of exercise intensity and walking speed.

Claims (5)
