[Implementation form]

Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, one of the embodiments described below explains the application of the present invention to sports shoes that measure at least the number of steps with a built-in sensor for motion detection as an example of an exercise volume measurement system, and has a display displayed in the sports shoes for measurement. An example of a system composed of a communication terminal in the display unit of the step information. However, the present invention can be applied to any kind of shoes with a built-in sensor for motion detection, or any machine that can display information on the amount of exercise measured by the shoes.

"Constitution of Exercise Volume Measurement System"

Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the exercise amount measuring system of this embodiment. As will be described later, in the system of this embodiment, up to three pairs of sports shoes 100 are configured to be communicably connected to one communication terminal 600. A pair of sports shoes 100 has a motion detection sensor unit 500 (not shown in FIG. 1) on at least one (one foot side) to detect the motion performed while being worn. In this embodiment, in order to reduce production costs and simplify the exchange of information with the communication terminal 600, the sensor unit 500 is built in one pair in a pair. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to Therefore, the sensor unit 500 can be installed in each of two sports shoes 100 (for the left foot and for the right foot).

The sports shoe 100 and the communication terminal 600, and more specifically, the sensor unit 500 and the communication terminal 600 built in the sports shoe 100 are configured to be connected in a communication method based on Bluetooth (registered trademark), and information can be sent and received. As described later, this information communication or communication connection is not always necessary.

<Sports shoes composition>

Next, the structure of the sports shoe 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the sports shoe 100 is composed of an upper 201, an insole 202, a midsole 203, and a sole 204. In this embodiment, the sensor unit 500 is built into the sole 204 in consideration of durability, ease of putting on and taking off the sports shoe 100, and waterproofness.

The sole 204 is equivalent to a so-called inner sole, or equivalent to an inner sole and an outer sole if it is formed integrally, and is composed of rigid and elastic materials. Since the sole 204 has a specific thickness and is configured, it is used as the placement portion of the sensor unit 500 in the sports shoe 100 of this embodiment.

A structure that connects the upper 201, the midsole 203, and the sole 204 by stitching the midsole 203 made of cloth to the bottom 204 of the shoe upper 201, for example, is used. Therefore, since the upper surface (top surface) of the sole 204 is covered by the midsole 203 at the time of connection, the appearance of the sensor unit 500 cannot be determined. That is, in the sports shoe 100 of the present embodiment, the sensor unit 500 is configured so that it cannot be taken out without destruction. Furthermore, since the insole 202 that functions as a cushioning material is arranged on the upper part of the midsole 203, the wearer can wear it without being aware of the presence of the sensor unit 500.

Since the wearer does not need to intentionally wear equipment such as a pedometer for exercise measurement except for the sports shoes 100 by the above-mentioned configuration, continuous exercise recording can be easily performed. In addition, even when the sports shoes 100 are used as common shoes for children, they are the same in appearance as previous sports shoes, and the function of providing elements of interest will not be realized as long as they are not connected to the communication terminal 600, so they are used in schools such as schools. The special device can still be used in places where the carrying is restricted, and it can more comprehensively record the daily exercise of the wearer.

The sensor unit 500 is configured with a thickness and an external dimension in a manner of being housed in the sole 204 as shown in FIG. 3(a). In this embodiment, the sensor unit 500 is constructed with a size into which the substrate can fit if necessary, based on the size of the button-type battery used for driving as shown in FIG. 3(b).

In addition, since the sensor unit 500 is configured to be thin, it can be arranged at any position of the sole 204, but in this embodiment, it is built in a thickness that can easily ensure a space for arrangement. The deformation of the sole 204 during use may be reduced to the heel portion of the sole 204.

In detail, the sensor unit 500 is built-in by being arranged in the recess provided in the sole 204 as shown in FIG. 4. As shown in the figure, the heel portion of the sole 204 is provided with a two-layered concave portion having an opening on the upper surface of the sole 204, and the first concave portion 301 existing in the lower layer 305 as the first layer of the present invention is arranged There is a sensor unit 500. The space formed in the lower layer 305 due to the first recess 301 is approximately the same size as the sensor unit 500. When the sensor unit 500 is arranged, the sensor unit 500 is configured to be accommodated in the space without any play. That is, the size of the space formed by the first recess 301 is configured so that it is difficult to generate a sound based on the vibration of the sensor unit 500 when the sports shoe 100 is moving, and to generate an erroneous detection based on the vibration.

In addition, the second concave portion 302 existing in the upper layer 306 as the second layer of the present invention is provided with rigid materials such as polyurethane resin (PU) or vinyl chloride resin (PVC) that ensure certain elasticity and rigidity. 303, so as to distribute the load on the sensor unit 500 during wearing. From the viewpoint of air permeability, PU is preferable. However, in the implementation of the present invention, as long as the load-bearing property can be realized, the material of the rigid material 303 can be any material. In order to ensure the strength, a core-containing material can be used. As shown in the figure, the opening area of the second recess 302 is configured to be larger than the opening area of the first recess 301. The rigid material 303 is present on the outer edge of the opening of the first recess 301 and is formed by the edge of the bottom surface of the second recess 302 304 (the area of the upper layer 306 is shaded in FIG. 4). The rigid material 303 is disposed in the second recess 302 and then to the edge 304, and the sensor unit 500 is enclosed in the sole 204 (the first recess 301) to achieve a little waterproof.

In addition, in this embodiment, the sole 204 is provided with a first recess 301 configured as two layers. The second recess 302 will be described, but the structure of the recess provided for housing the sensor unit 500 is not limited to this. Two layers are preferable in consideration of workability or production efficiency, but any number of layers may be used as long as the recesses are formed of at least two layers.

Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 4, considering the shape (lateral width) of the heel position of the sole 204 and the strength of the sole 204 corresponding to the position where the recess is provided, it is arranged at a position close to the arch of the heel. However, it should be understood that the movement can correspond to the size of the sports shoe 100 and the shape of the sole 204.

(Functional structure of sensor)

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the functional structure of the sensor unit 500 of the embodiment of the present invention.

The microcomputer 501 is, for example, a microcomputer composed of CPU, ROM, and RAM, and controls the actions of each block of the sensor unit 500. Specifically, the CPU of the microcomputer 501 controls the operation of each block by reading out the operation program of each block recorded in the ROM, expanding and executing it in the RAM.

The recording memory 502 is a recording medium for recording the measurement results of the exercise performed by wearing the sports shoes 100 of this embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, the sensor unit 500 of the present embodiment is described with a recording memory 502 in addition to the ROM that records the action programs of each block of the sensor unit 500. However, the implementation of the present invention does not Limited to this.

The acceleration sensor 503 detects the motion generated in the sensor unit 500. In this embodiment, the acceleration sensor 503 is configured to measure acceleration in the three-axis direction. Become the object of measurement The three-axis direction can be formed by, for example, the right-hand system. When the sensor unit 500 is placed on a horizontal plane, it can be the Y-axis direction from the heel to the toe in the horizontal plane, and the X-axis direction orthogonal to the Y-axis in the same plane. , And the Z-axis direction equivalent to the height direction. The acceleration sensor 503 detects the acceleration generated for each of the XYZ axes, and outputs the waveform data (raw data) of each axis used for the measurement of the amount of movement performed by wearing the sensor unit 500. In more detail, the acceleration sensor 503 performs acceleration detection in a specific sampling period, and outputs the detection value in a corresponding time interval.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where the sensor of the sensor unit 500 is an acceleration sensor is described, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, any sensor can be used as long as it is configured to detect a specific exercise performed by wearing the sports shoes 100.

The measurement unit 504 analyzes the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, derives the judgment of whether a preset exercise has been performed, and derives the measurement result of the exercise when the exercise has been performed, and records it in the recording memory as exercise information 502, or update the recorded exercise information based on the measurement result. The details will be described later. In the sports shoes 100 of this embodiment, multiple modes are set for different sports items to be measured. The measurement unit 504 corresponds to the mode set in the sensor unit 500 so that the waveform data analysis method is different. , And export the measurement results of the corresponding sports.

The mode setting part 505 manages the mode setting of the sensor unit 500. In principle, when the mode setting unit 505 receives a mode change request based on the mode change operation displayed in the communication terminal 600 and displays the mode information of the changed mode, it performs the mode setting in the sensor unit 500 change. The information of the mode set in the sensor unit 500 can be, for example, stored in the microelectronics If the ROM of the brain 501 is managed, the measurement unit 504 determines the analysis method of the waveform data by referring to the information.

The communication unit 506 is a communication interface of the sensor unit 500 with the communication terminal 600. As described above, the communication unit 506 of this embodiment can send and receive information according to the communication method of Bluetooth (registered trademark). In addition, the communication unit 506 is not in a state capable of constant communication, and transitions to a state capable of communication when the specific input for the communication connection with the communication terminal 600 is completed.

In addition, in the sensor unit 500 of this embodiment, in order to measure the movement of the wearer of the sports shoe 100, in principle, the acceleration sensor 503 always detects the generated acceleration and performs the waveform of the detection result The analysis of the data and the measurement of the amount of exercise will be explained, but the measurement itself is not always required. Since the sensor unit 500 is built into the bottom 204 of the shoe so that it cannot be removed without damage as described above, and is driven by a battery, it is not necessary to analyze and derive the measurement result when it is not being worn or when it is stationary. Therefore, the microcomputer 501 can change the state of the sensor unit 500 to stop the operation of the measuring unit 504 when, for example, the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503 does not fluctuate above the threshold value within a certain period of time. The so-called dormant state. This sleep state can be released when a change above the threshold value is detected again in the waveform data. When released, the microcomputer 501 only needs to perform control by restarting the operation of the measurement unit 504 for measurement.

<Composition of communication terminal>

Next, the functional structure of the communication terminal 600 will be described using the block diagram of FIG. 6. The communication terminal 600 can be a general-purpose communication device such as a mobile phone or a smart phone, and functions as the communication terminal 600 of the exercise amount measurement system of this embodiment by executing a specific application.

The control unit 601 is, for example, a CPU, and controls the operation of each block included in the communication terminal 600. Specifically, the control unit 601 controls the operation of each block by reading, for example, the operation program of each block recorded in the recording unit 602, or the application program including the display function of the measurement result, and expanding and executing it in the memory 603. .

The recording unit 602 is a recording device such as a non-volatile memory or HDD that can hold data permanently. The recording unit 602 not only memorizes the operation program or application program of each block of the communication terminal 600, but also stores information such as parameters or measurement result data (historical data) required for the operation of each block. The memory 603 is a memory device used for temporary data storage such as a volatile memory. The memory 603 is not only used as the expansion area of the action program of each block, but also can be used as a storage area for temporarily storing the data output in the action of each block.

The display control section 604 includes a drawing device such as a drawing chip, and performs specific drawing processing when a screen displayed on the display section 605, which can be, for example, an LCD is generated. In the exercise amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the display control unit 604 mainly performs display control for the presentation of information on the measurement result of the exercise performed by wearing the sports shoes 100.

The operation input unit 606 is, for example, a user interface of the communication terminal 600 that is used to determine an operation member or various sensors for input. The operation input unit 606 detects that the operation component When the operation input is performed, a control signal corresponding to the operation input is output to the control unit 601. In this embodiment, the operation input unit 606 includes, in addition to a physical operation member, a touch input detection sensor for detecting touch input performed on the screen of the display unit 605, for example.

The terminal communication unit 607 is a communication interface of the communication terminal 600 with external devices. In this embodiment, the terminal communication unit 607 can perform inter-machine communication with the sensor unit 500, and receive data of the motion information recorded in the recording memory 502. The terminal communication part 607 is set to update the reference when running the application stored in the recording part 602 with the display function of the measurement result (the following is the result display application) when receiving the data of the exercise information from the sensor unit 500 Corresponding history data, and can display the status of the measurement results. In addition, the terminal communication unit 607 can be configured to be connected to an external device via the Internet (not shown), and can send and receive data.

"Types of Patterns and Record of Exercise Volume"

Hereinafter, in the exercise amount measurement system of the present embodiment, a plurality of modes that can be set in the sensor unit 500 and the exercise items recorded in the exercise information as the measurement results in each mode will be described. In this embodiment, walking is explained as an example of foot movement, but it should be understood that the foot movement also includes running.

The plurality of modes that can be set in the sensor unit 500 are roughly classified into a training mode that records the measurement results of sports items that are different from the preset walking in the first category mode, and the second category mode records The daily mode of walking by the wearer. Compared with the day mode, which records the daily walking movements of the wearer unconsciously, the training mode Contains 6 modes (lower mode) with different exercise menus for each measurement object, which is a mode that allows the wearer to consciously perform and record the motion actions corresponding to the lower mode.

In the day mode, count the number of steps taken while wearing the sports shoes 100, and record the counted number of steps as the measurement result. In the exercise amount measurement system of the present embodiment, when the sensor unit 500 is set to the day mode, the type of walking performed by the wearer is determined, and the number of steps is counted for each type of walking. The types of walking to be measured can be, for example, normal walking (walking), jogging (jog), and sprinting (running faster than jogging). Based on the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, the measuring unit 504 evaluates them. Identify and count the number of steps. In more detail, the measuring unit 504 analyzes whether the output waveform in the Z-axis direction in the output waveform data shows a preset pattern during walking, and when it is judged to be equivalent to walking, it is judged that the peak interval corresponds to 3 Which one of the other kinds of walking.

The recording of the measurement result in the day mode is calculated for each preset period such as 1 hour, and the exercise information is stored in the recording memory 502. The information of the number of steps of each walking type during the period (in statistics) is temporarily stored in, for example, the RAM of the microcomputer 501. After the period is over, it is associated with the information identifying the period and added to the movement of the recording memory 502 News. Therefore, when the sensor unit 500 and the communication terminal 600 are communicatively connected and a request for obtaining exercise information is sent from the communication terminal 600, the steps of each type of walking performed from the time of the previous communication connection to the time of this communication connection The number of information is transmitted from the sensor unit 500 to the communication terminal 600 for each statistical period.

In particular, in the 100 series of sports shoes for children, it is conceivable that the wearer is the child The terminal held by the protector is used as the communication terminal 600. That is, if the use of sports shoes 100 is performed independently from the use of communication terminal 600 and the results of communication terminal 600 show that the application is executed independently, the frequency of obtaining the latest sports information may also be once a week depending on the situation. Wait. Therefore, in the recording memory 502, for the exercise information in the day mode, an area for storing information such as one week share (=24 hours×7=168 hours share: the number of steps for 3 types of walking is recorded every 1 hour) is secured. .

For the exercise information stored in the recording memory 502 in the day mode, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which, in principle, it is held in the storage area until transmission to the communication terminal 600 and is deleted after transmission. In addition, when the storage area secured for recording in the day mode is overwritten by unsent exercise information, it can be deleted from the old information and overwritten by the new exercise information.

On the other hand, in the training mode, in response to the selection of the lower mode on the result display application executed by the communication terminal 600, the wearer of the sports shoes 100 is urged to implement the corresponding action (sports menu), and the preset sports items The measurement results are recorded as exercise information. In the exercise amount measuring system of this embodiment, the training mode that can be set in the sensor unit 500 includes the measurement of sports items different from walking, and the wearer implements the following six exercise menu subordinate modes.

‧Quick action

‧Quick squat

‧ Lateral agility

‧Return Jump

‧bounce

‧High leg run

The quick action is a sports event that measures the time required for the wearer to start running in response to the start sound emitted from the communication terminal 600 from the static state of the wearer to measure the reaction speed of the wearer. The measuring unit 504 refers to the output waveform in the Y-axis direction in the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, continues to be regarded as a stationary state before the start sound is emitted, and measures the time from the sounding timing of the start sound until the first occurrence of walking The time required until the pattern.

Quick squat is an exercise that measures the number of so-called stance steps performed during a specific period in order to measure the endurance of the wearer. However, stepping and squatting are performed alternately during a certain period. The wearer performs the stepping action under a load by entraining the squatting action during the stepping action, and thus measures the endurance of the wearer by performing the stepping action under a load compared with the stepping action alone. Here, the so-called stepping system assumes that the foot moves up and down when walking at the same position. It can also be measured as the number of steps in a certain period of time in a moving (walking or running) state instead of moving the feet up and down on the ground. The number of steps. The measuring unit 504 refers to the output waveform in the Z-axis direction in the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, measures the number of steps started after the start sound is emitted, and outputs it as the number of steps. Within 10 seconds after the start sound is made, 3 further sounds are made at specific intervals. When the sound is sounded, the wearer performs a squat action. In addition, the squat action is assumed to be an action of squatting in the same position as the stepping position and contacting the ground. In this action, the foot is in contact with the ground and does not move, so no action related to the squatting action is performed Determination.

Lateral agility is a sport event that measures the number of so-called repeated lateral jumps in a specific period in order to measure the sensitivity of the wearer. The measuring part 504 refers to the acceleration sensor 503 In the output waveform data, for example, the output waveform in the Z-axis direction is continuously regarded as a static state before the start sound is emitted, and a jump pattern appears in the Z-axis direction after the start sound is emitted, and the number of exercises performed at this time is measured. In addition, the number of exercises can also be measured according to the rule that the acceleration direction in the X-axis direction is different from the first time to the second time and counted as one time. In addition, for the purpose of reducing the load of data calculation and simplifying the processing of data, by assuming that the wearer moves left and right, that is, moves in the X-axis direction, it can only be referred to The output waveform in the Z-axis direction is used to measure the number of exercises performed.

The return jump is a sport event that measures the number of jumps in the forward and backward directions alternately in a specific period in order to determine the stability of the wearer's torso. The measurement unit 504 refers to the output waveforms in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction in the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, and continues to be regarded as a static state before the start sound is emitted, and counts on the Z axis after the start sound is emitted The number of jump patterns that appear in the direction, but at this time, the number of jumps is measured according to the rule that the acceleration direction of the Y-axis direction is different in the odd and even times. At this time, the equality of jump intervals can also be measured. In addition, for the purpose of reducing the load of data calculation and simplifying the processing of data, by assuming that the wearer moves forward and backward, that is, moves in the Y-axis direction, it can only With reference to the output waveform in the Z-axis direction, the rule that the pattern with 2 jumps in the Z-axis direction is counted as one is adopted.

Jumping is a sport that measures the jumping time in order to measure the jumping power of the wearer. The measuring unit 504 refers to the output waveform in the Z-axis direction in the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, and measures the time from the start to the end when a pattern of a jump appears after the start sound is emitted.

High leg running is an exercise that measures the number of so-called stand-in steps performed during a specific period in order to measure the muscle strength (foot strength) of the wearer. The measuring unit 504 refers to the output waveform in the Z-axis direction in the waveform data output by the acceleration sensor 503, and continues to be regarded as a static state before the start sound is emitted, and counts the occurrence of walking in the Z-axis direction after the start sound is emitted The number of patterns. In addition, in the training mode, the high leg run outputs the step count as the measurement result in the same way as the fast squat, but does not judge whether the exercise stays in a certain position (range) like the fast squat. Since there is no judgment and no need to refer to the output waveforms in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, the data calculation load can be reduced, and the data processing can be simplified. When judging whether to stay in a certain position (range) to exercise in order to measure the movement ability of the wearer in more detail, when counting the number of times that the walking pattern appears in the Z-axis direction, just use the output in addition to the reference Z-axis direction In addition to the waveform, it is sufficient to refer to the output waveforms in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction to determine whether the position where the wearer performs the exercise falls within a specific space.

As above, in the training mode, only refer to the axis data required for the measurement of each movement ability in the 3 axis directions. Here, it is better to refer to the data of a plurality of axes in order to determine the detailed exercise capacity. However, based on the viewpoint of reducing the load of data calculation and simplifying the processing of the data, it is better to reduce the number of axes of the reference data. It is better to make the axis of reference material only 1 axis. However, for example, when considering lateral agility, it is not possible to measure the left and right movement of the so-called repeated lateral jump by only referring to the Z-axis data. Therefore, at this time, it is preferable that before the wearer executes each mode of the training mode, the display portion 605 of the communication terminal 600 displays what action the wearer should perform in each mode, and prompts the wearer for better actions in advance. By performing such a reminder, the wearer can recognize that by performing actions corresponding to the prompt information based on the wearer (on the side The premise of the agility (jumping and left-right movement) only refers to the data of the Z-axis, and can measure the number of so-called repeated lateral jumps.

In this way, in each lower mode of the training mode, different information is analyzed and output as a measurement result and stored as exercise information. As mentioned above, the sensor unit 500 does not perform the measurement in the day mode when it is set to the training mode. However, since the storage area for the exercise information in the day mode should be secured, the exercise information in the training mode is the same as that in the day mode. The information is stored separately and stored in another area in the recording memory 502.

The recording of the measurement results in the training mode is different from the day mode. In principle, before and after the start of the measurement of various sports items, the sensor unit 500 and the communication terminal 600 perform various information communications to perform mode switching, measurement start instructions, and exercise Information sending and receiving. In more detail, if the focus is on the use of the training mode, first, after the sensor unit 500 is in the communication standby state by detecting specific motions such as swinging sneakers 100 in the sensor unit 500, The result of execution in the communication terminal 600 shows that a specific operation in the application program is completed to establish a communication connection between the sensor unit 500 and the communication terminal 600. After that, if any mode of the lower mode of the training mode is selected in the communication terminal 600, a mode change request containing the mode information of the selected lower mode is sent from the communication terminal 600 to the sensor unit 500. When receiving the mode change request, the mode setting unit 505 sets the lower mode of the current sensor unit 500 to be selected corresponding to the received mode information. In addition, the communication terminal 600 performs a guidance display for the exercise item that is the measurement target of the selected lower mode, and prompts the content of the exercise to be performed by the wearer, and points to note. After that, the display of the communication terminal 600 changes to a state in which the measurement start instruction can be performed, and the user of the communication terminal 600 can proceed at any timing corresponding to the state of the wearer. Perform the operation of the measurement start instruction. When this operation is performed, a measurement start request is sent from the communication terminal 600 to the sensor unit 500.

At this time, for the inferior mode set under the condition that the wearer is stationary at the beginning of the measurement, the control unit 601 receives the output waveform from the acceleration sensor 503 from the sensor unit 500 to be regarded as stationary. The signal can be controlled in such a way that the measurement start instruction can be performed. In addition, when randomly setting the start sound generation timing for more rigorous performance measurement, the control unit 601 determines the time difference from when the measurement start request is sent to the timing when the start sound is generated, and combines the time information with the measurement start request The sensor unit 500 is sent to the sensor unit 500, and the measurement unit 504 only needs to consider the time difference after receiving the measurement start request to grasp the timing of the start sound generation and perform measurement. Or, when the sound is started, the communication terminal 600 can send a signal to the sensor unit 500 to indicate the sound is started. Then, when the measurement is completed (the exercise information of the measurement result is stored in the recording memory 502), the microcomputer 501 sends the exercise information of the lower mode set to the communication terminal 600 via the communication unit 506, and the control unit 601 receives the exercise information At time, based on the motion information, the history information (stored data) managed by the corresponding sensor unit 500 is updated.

In addition, in the exercise amount measuring system of the present embodiment, for the quick action of measuring the reaction speed of the wearer, the time required from the start of the sound to the start of exercise (running) is the measurement item. Therefore, unlike other inferior modes, it can constitute a result display application such as the following, that is, when the wearer is in a non-stationary state before the start sound is emitted, the fair measurement result is not recorded, so it can be regarded as a so-called It is rushed to deal with it, not as a measurement result, and prompts the meaning of measurement failure. At this time, the control unit 601 randomly determines the timing of generating the start sound, for example, and The measurement start request is sent to the sensor unit 500 together, and the microcomputer 501 will treat it as a rush to process it as long as it obtains the measurement result showing that the timing from the reception of the request to the start of the sound generation has not stopped, and will handle the meaning Just send it to the communication terminal 600 as exercise information.

In addition, the disconnection of the communication connection between the sensor unit 500 and the communication terminal 600 is not specifically mentioned, but the sensor unit 500 can cut off the communication every time the measurement result for the selected lower mode is sent. The way to control, considering the continuous measurement of the training mode, the communication connection can be maintained until an explicit cut-off instruction is given on the result display application.

Here, since the day mode is a mode for measuring daily walking, it is preferable that the walking motion of the wearer can be measured in a way that is not omitted. On the other hand, the training mode is for the wearer to perform actions that are different from the daily walking. The walking action in the training mode is a departure from the daily action, so it is not suitable to be included in the measurement result of the day mode. Therefore, in the sensor unit 500 of this embodiment, the measurement in the day mode and the measurement in the training mode are not performed in parallel, and the storage areas of the exercise information of the recording memory 502 are also mutually exclusive. In this way, after setting the training mode and completing the measurement of the corresponding sports item, it is better to transfer from the training mode to the day mode.

Therefore, when the communication connection is maintained until an explicit cut-off instruction is given on the result display application, the mode setting unit 505 can determine that the communication cut-off is the end of the explicit training mode and change the setting to the day mode for processing. The control unit 601 can also send a change request for the daytime mode before cutting off, receive it, and set the change to the daytime mode. Rationale. In addition, when the microcomputer 501 cuts off the communication after the transmission of the measurement result of the training mode, that is, the exercise information, the mode setting unit 505 does not need to request a mode change from the communication terminal 600. For example, it only needs to change to the day mode after a specific time has passed. It can be controlled in the same way.

In addition, especially in the case of children wearing sports shoes 100, after the setting is changed to the training mode, it is also possible that the sensor unit 500 and the communication terminal 600 may be far away from the communication terminal by more than the distance that can communicate, and the sports information cannot be transmitted. Send out. In consideration of this situation, when the measured exercise information cannot be sent, the exercise information is kept in the recording memory 502 until the next communication connection with the communication terminal 600 is established. The change of the Asahito mode can be based on the sending of exercise information. Failure or communication cut off.

In addition, in this embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, the case where the measurement result in the training mode is sent from the microcomputer 501 on the condition that the measurement is completed or the communication connection is established, etc. is explained, but it can be configured in the same way as in the day mode. It is sent when the acquisition request of the terminal 600 is issued.

"Summary of Results Display Application"

Hereinafter, the outline of the result display application that displays the measurement result of the wearer's motion measured by the sensor unit 500 executed in the communication terminal 600 of this embodiment will be described.

〈Registration of sports shoes〉

In the result display application of this embodiment, it is configured that one application can realize the management of three pairs of sports shoes 100 (three sensor units 500) (retention of stored data). Can be constructed as A paired sensor unit 500 establishes a corresponding relationship with one stored data (associates with the identification information (sensor ID) of a uniquely specific sensor unit 500), and can set the characteristics of the shoe or any string of words Etc., so that the user can recognize the sports shoes 100 corresponding to the stored data. In addition, the microcomputer 501 of the sensor unit 500 that has been paired once stores the identification information of the uniquely connected communication terminal 600 in the ROM, and then (until the specific forced release operation is performed) only communicates with the communication terminal 600. In one communication terminal 600, the number of sensor units 500 that can communicate with each other in the same period is shown by the result of the application. When managing multiple stored data, the communication terminal 600 is for example for each stored data To receive exercise information, you must select the storage data in sequence in the storage data readout screen.

In addition, since the sports shoes 100 are naturally subject to size changes or replacements in the characteristics of life consumables, it can be configured to change the sensor unit 500 corresponding to the stored data to other sports shoes 100. Detector unit 500. That is, while the information of the exercise history recorded in the stored data remains unchanged, the information of the exercise history can be updated based on the exercise information from the new sensor unit 500 after the next time. At this time, for the stored data, for example, after the operation of releasing the pairing with the sensor unit 500 that has established a corresponding relationship so far is completed, the new sensor unit 500 can be associated with the stored data. Or, in the configuration in which the correspondence relationship between the sensor unit 500 (sports shoes 100) and the stored data can be established even if the pairing release operation is not performed, as long as it can be configured to select whether to hand over and use the previous exercise The resume information is sufficient.

(Login processing)

In the following, in the result display application of this embodiment, the sports shoes The registration process performed when 100 (sensor unit 500) establishes a corresponding relationship with one storage data (object storage data), the specific processing is explained using the flowchart in FIG. 9. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 601 reading, for example, the result display application program stored in the recording unit 602, and expanding and executing the program in the memory 603. In addition, this registration process is set to, for example, select one of the three object storage data in the setting screen of the result display application, and enter the operation input for completing the registration of the storage data for the new sneaker (sensor unit) It will be explained at the beginning.

In S901, the control unit 601 sends an ID transmission request of the sensor ID to the sensor unit 500 existing near the communication terminal 600 via the terminal communication unit 607. The ID sending request sent in this step is not sent to the paired specific sensor unit 500, but the sensor unit 500 in the receivable state, that is, the sensor unit 500 that has not transitioned to the sleep state and exists in the distance The sensor unit 500 in the inter-machine communication area of the communication terminal 600 can be sent out. When receiving the ID transmission request sent in this embodiment, the sensor unit 500 is the one that sends back regardless of which communication terminal 600 the sensor unit 500 is paired with.

In S902, the control unit 601 waits for a specific time from the transmission of the ID transmission request of S901, and determines whether there is a sensor ID return from any sensor unit 500 during the standby. When the control unit 601 determines that there is a sensor ID return from any sensor unit 500, it moves the processing to S903, and when it determines that there is no sensor ID return from any sensor unit 500, it will The processing moves to S911. In addition, the sensor ID that is sent back to the first ID transmission request is added to a sensor ID table and stored in the memory 603.

In S903, the control unit 601 determines whether to return a plurality of sensor IDs that have not yet established a corresponding relationship. Considering the situation of replacing the paired sports shoes in this embodiment, the sensor ID that has been established corresponding to the object storage data is set as the non-object of the counting in this step. Therefore, the control unit 601 determines whether there are a plurality of sensor IDs other than the sensor IDs that have been associated with the object storage data in the returned sensor ID (the sensor ID added to the sensor ID table) Detector ID. The control unit 601 moves the process to S904 when it determines that a plurality of sensor IDs that have not been associated with each other is returned, and moves the process to S905 when it determines that only one sensor ID is returned.

It is assumed that it is difficult for the user to determine which sensor unit 500 in the sports shoe 100 corresponds to the sensor ID. Even if a plurality of sensor IDs are returned in a list, the user will still not expect what A situation where the sports shoes 100 and the object storage data establish a corresponding relationship. That is, in order to prevent the user from establishing a corresponding relationship between the unintended sensor unit 500 and the object storage data, a guide display is performed in the result display application of this embodiment, and the user is notified of the situation. Therefore, in S904, the display control unit 604, under the control of the control unit 601, causes the display unit 605 to display a guide display for setting the returned sensor ID to one.

The guidance display may include the following displays, for example. Because there are a plurality of sensor units 500 that are not in the dormant state in the inter-machine communication area of the communication terminal 600, the situation of returning a plurality of sensor IDs includes the situation of the sports shoes 100 that are not expected to establish a corresponding relationship, indicating that the Do not move within the time, and then display the operation of registering sports shoes again. The certain time may be set to be longer than the static period required for the sensor unit 500 to transition to the sleep state. In addition, the guidance display includes a display indicating that the sneaker 100 for which a corresponding relationship is desired to be established, such as swinging, wearing movement, and the like, is not to transition to a sleep state.

The control unit 601 completes the registration process after completing the guidance display of the sensor unit 500 of the sports shoe 100 that only detects that the user desires to establish a corresponding relationship. At this time, the user can use the result display application to perform the operation input of establishing the corresponding relationship between the sports shoes and the stored data of the object after changing the state of each sports shoe according to the guide display, and can exercise the changed state The registration process is executed again for shoes.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S903 that only one sensor ID for which no correspondence is established is returned, the display control unit 604 displays on the display unit 605 under the control of the control unit 601 in S905 based on the data sent in S901. The ID sending request can select each sensor ID stored in the sensor ID table. That is, if there is a sensor unit 500 that has established a corresponding relationship with the object storage data, the display performed in this step includes: the unit ID of the sensor unit and an unpaired pair of sports shoes 100 The unit ID of the sensor unit 500 for which no correspondence has been established. At this time, the unit ID of the sensor unit 500 for which the corresponding relationship has been established can be displayed differently in such a way that it can be distinguished that it corresponds to the paired sports shoes 100. The display system allows the user to select the sneakers 100 paired with the object storage data. When the selection operation of the display item of 1 unit ID is completed, the control unit 601 advances the process to S906.

In S906, the control unit 601 judges which sensor unit 500 has been selected for the selection operation of the cell ID for the display performed in S905. When the control unit 601 has performed the selection operation of selecting the unit ID of the sensor unit 500 that has established the corresponding relationship, the registration process is completed without changing the sensor unit 500 that has the corresponding relationship. On the other hand, when the control unit 601 has performed the selection operation of selecting the unit ID of the sensor unit 500 for which no correspondence has been established, the process moves to S907.

In S907, the control unit 601 determines whether the selected sensor unit 500 (selection unit) is already in a pairing state with other communication terminals. The judgment is based on the information sent back by the control unit 601 to the selection unit via the terminal communication unit 607 to confirm the pairing status. Since the identification information uniquely specific to the paired communication terminal 600 is stored in the memory of the microcomputer 501 of the paired sensor unit 500 as described above, the microcomputer 501 responds to the confirmation request to return the identification information or display whether Stored information. Therefore, the control unit 601 determines whether it is in a pairing state based on the identification information of whether there is a paired communication terminal in the memory of the selection unit. In addition, although this method is exemplified in this embodiment, the determination of whether the sensor unit 500 is in a paired state is not limited to this. The control unit 601 shifts the process to S908 when it determines that the selection unit is already in a paired state with another communication terminal, and shifts the processing to S910 when it determines that it is not in a paired state with any communication terminal.

In S908, the control unit 601 determines whether to cancel the pairing of the selected unit. This determination may be that the display control unit 604, under the control of the control unit 601, causes the display unit 605 to display an inquiry screen of whether to cancel the pairing for the selection unit, and corresponds to the operator of the operation input performed on the screen. The control unit 601 moves the process to S909 when it determines that the pairing with the selected unit is cancelled. In addition, when the control unit 601 determines that the pairing for the selected unit is not to be canceled, the display control unit 604 causes the display control unit 604 to display a notification that the registration is suspended on the display unit 605 to complete the registration process.

In S909, the control unit 601 sends a pairing release to the selected unit via the terminal communication unit 607 request. At this time, the microcomputer 501 of the selection unit that has received the pairing release request deletes the identification information of the communication terminal currently in the pairing state stored in the memory, and changes it to a state where it is not paired with any communication terminal.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the new sensor unit 500 is associated with the object storage data, a pairing release request is sent to the sensor unit as needed, and the process of releasing the paired device that has completed the setting is performed. The situation is explained. However, the pairing release processing can be configured to be forcibly executed from the setting screen of the stored data when transferring, for example, the sneaker 100 having the sensor unit 500 that has not been associated with the stored data.

In S910, the control unit 601 updates the unit ID information of the paired sensor unit 500 among the information managed by the recording unit 602 for the target storage data with the unit ID received for the selected unit. In addition, the control unit 601 transmits the identification information of its own terminal (the identification information of the communication terminal 600) to the terminal communication unit 607, and sends it to the selection unit together with the pairing registration request. At this time, the microcomputer 501 of the selection unit that has received the pairing registration request stores the received identification information in the memory as the identification information of the communication terminal in the pairing state.

On the other hand, when there is no sensor ID sent back from any sensor unit 500 in S902, the display control unit 604 is under the control of the control unit 601 in S911 to perform the sensing of the sneakers desired to be registered After the device unit 500 returns to its original state from the sleep state, the display unit 605 displays a guidance display urging to register again. The guidance display includes, for example, a display indicating that the sneaker 100 that is desired to establish a correspondence relationship should be swung, or worn, not to transition to a sleep state. By this, it is possible to change the establishment of the correspondence relationship between the selected unit and the object storage data, and the mechanism of the matching end of the selected unit Device information.

<Day mode result display>

Hereinafter, in the result display application of the present embodiment, specific processing will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 7 for the display control processing performed when the exercise information of the day mode is acquired. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 601 reading, for example, the result display application program stored in the recording unit 602, and expanding and executing the program in the memory 603. In addition, the case where the display control process is started when, for example, the start instruction of the result display application is sent, and the screen is changed to select the stored data to be read out.

In S701, the control unit 601 determines whether the selection operation of the stored data has been performed. The control unit 601 moves to S702 when it is determined that the selection operation of the stored data has been performed, and repeats the processing of this step when it is determined that it has not been performed.

In S702, the control unit 601 refers to the information of the paired machine corresponding to the selected storage data (object storage data), and executes the process of establishing a communication connection with the sensor unit 500.

In S703, the control unit 601 determines whether the communication connection with the sensor unit 500 has been established. When the control unit 601 determines that the communication connection is established, the process proceeds to S704, and when it determines that the communication connection is not established, the process of this step is repeated.

In S704, the control unit 601 communicates to the connected sensor unit via the terminal communication unit 607 500 sends a request for obtaining sports information in day mode. In this embodiment, for simplicity, the communication connection is made when data selection is stored, and the day mode exercise information is obtained. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this, and the user’s exercise information can be completed. Send an acquisition request during the acquisition operation.

In S705, the control unit 601 determines whether the exercise information of the day mode is received from the sensor unit 500 in connection. When the control unit 601 determines that the exercise information in the day mode has been received, the process proceeds to S706. In addition, when the control unit 601 determines that the exercise information in the day mode has not been received, the processing of this step is repeated until the specified timeout period has elapsed, and the communication connection is cut off after the timeout period has elapsed, and this display control process is ended. In addition, for the sake of simplicity in this step, it will be explained that the subsequent processing is not performed when the timeout is continuously unable to receive the exercise information, but it can be based on the received exercise information, for example, based on the history information stored in the stored data. (Walking record data) display.

In S706, the control unit 601 cuts off the communication connection with the connected sensor unit 500.

In S707, the control unit 601 converts the information of the number of steps of each walking category contained in the received exercise information into the actual number of steps (or the actual number of steps performed), and updates the stored data of the object Walking records. As described above, in the exercise amount measuring system of this embodiment, since a pair of sports shoes 100 is constructed with only one built-in sensor unit 500, the number of steps measured in the sensor unit 500 is the wearer’s The number of steps per foot. Therefore, the control unit 601 derives the actual number of steps by simply doubling the number of steps. In addition, the walking record data is structured in the same way as the exercise information, which can be referred to for each date and time (specific time interval) of walking The number of steps in each walking category.

In S708, the control unit 601 prompts the time distribution of the number of steps of the exercise information received this time, as shown in, for example, FIG. 8(a). In the example of Fig. 8(a), the walking record data for one day is created as a bar graph that counts the steps of walking, jogging, and sprinting every 3 hours.

In S709, the control unit 601 starts game processing related to the display of the measurement result in the day mode. In the result display application of this embodiment, in order to increase the interest of the wearer and the user, in addition to the simple statistical results such as S708, the measurement results are displayed on the game screen of the game based on the walking record data for process control. .

In S710, the control unit 601 converts the information of the number of steps included in the exercise information received this time into game points used for the progress control of the game. The conversion into game points can be carried out, for example, by multiplying the number of steps by the value of the coefficient corresponding to the type of walking, as long as the higher the load of the wearer, the larger the value of the coefficient is set (coefficient for sprint> Jogging coefficient> walking coefficient).

In S711, the control unit 601 adds the game points of the sports information received this time to the existing game points to derive the accumulated game points, and determines whether the accumulated game points meet the specific in-game conditions determined for the game. In-game conditions can be, for example, the conditions for the rise of the level of the virtual character of the wearer, the conditions for moving the stage, and the conditions for the appearance of the battle character from the challenge of the virtual character. However, in this embodiment, the battle is simple. The conditions for the character's appearance are explained. When the control unit 601 determines that the accumulated game points meet the in-game conditions The process moves to S712, and when it is determined that it is not satisfied, the process moves to S714.

In S712, the control unit 601 causes a character corresponding to the satisfied in-game condition to appear in the game as a combat character, and performs a combat process. The battle process may be provided for players whose victory or defeat is determined by user operation or by lottery, or may be set for players whose victory probability is set higher as the accumulated game points are.

In S713, the control unit 601 adds information about the result of the battle process to the stored data, and displays the result of the battle process.

In S714, the control unit 601 ends the game process and completes this display control process.

In this way, the exercise information stored in the recording memory 502 not only simply prompts the number of steps when communicating with the communication terminal 600, but also uses the linked game to provide elements of interest, which can trigger the wearer’s spontaneous exercise willingness .

<Training mode result display>

The acquisition of exercise information for the training mode is as described above, but since it is assumed that the training is not a single time but a plurality of times, the display of the measurement result can be simple without including the game screen display in the day mode, etc. To confirm. The result display of the training mode can be displayed by a radar chart as shown in, for example, FIG. 8(b), or can be displayed by scoring the measurement results included in the exercise information based on the evaluation criteria and prompted by the points of the item. In the example in Figure 8(b), each of the 6 sports prepared for the training mode corresponds to each component of the chart, and the points of quick actions are reversed According to the speed component, the points for fast squatting are shown by the endurance component, the points for lateral agility are shown by the sensitivity component, the points for reentry jump are shown by the trunk stability component, and the bouncing points are shown by the jumping force component. The points of leg running are shown by muscle strength components. Here, the display of each component is to compare the results of the newly acquired exercise information with the results of the previously acquired exercise information, which can be expected to trigger the wearer's exercise desire more than the comparison with the previous highest record.

In addition, for example, a title corresponding to the points can be prepared for each sports event, and it can include elements that praise the wearer or evaluate the measurement result.

For example, the title may be constituted by assigning a level name corresponding to the score based on the evaluation criterion to the ability name determined for the sports items measured in each lower mode of the training mode. The names of the abilities determined for fast movements, fast squats, lateral agility, reentry jumps, bounces, and high leg runs can be, for example, “fast”, “endurance”, “speed”, “control”, “bounce” "Leap", "Muscle". Also, the name of the level corresponding to the points can be: for example, 100 points or less is "challenger", 101 to 200 are divided into "novice", 201 to 300 are divided into "expert", 301 to 400 are divided into "master", and 401 Above points are "great gods". Therefore, in this aspect, the title provided for the item of sensitivity corresponding to the lateral agility of FIG. 8(b) is "speed expert".

On the other hand, in the aspect of providing a title based on the integral corresponding to the measurement result as described above, for example, a wearer who is not good at sports cannot obtain a better title, and as a result, the wearer's willingness to exercise may be reduced. Therefore, praise elements such as titles can be handled as follows, and controlled in a way that it is easy to provide better praise elements to the wearer.

(Title decision processing)

Hereinafter, in the result display application of the present embodiment, for the title determination process performed when the title is provided as a compliment element during the acquisition of exercise information in the training mode, the specific process will be described using the flowchart in FIG. 10. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 601 reading, for example, the result display application program stored in the recording unit 602, and expanding and executing the program in the memory 603. In addition, this title determination process is described in the case when, for example, the measurement result of the training mode is obtained in the result display application. In addition, FIG. 10 illustrates the processing of the aspect in which the praise element provided by the measurement result is a title, but it can be easily understood that the praise element that does not need to be provided for the training mode is a title in the implementation of the present invention.

In S1001, the control unit 601 stores the ability name of the sports event (target sports event) corresponding to the obtained measurement result as the provided ability name in the memory 603.

In S1002, the control unit 601 specifies the level (pure level) corresponding to the points of the obtained measurement results. The specificity of the pure level can be performed by which of the above-mentioned points range the points of the scoring result belong to.

In S1003, the control unit 601 refers to, for example, the information of the number of measurement times of the target sports event of the wearer stored in the recording unit 602, and determines whether the threshold value of the number of measurements determined for the pure level is exceeded. The threshold of the number of measurements can be, for example, a value determined to increase step by step as follows: 5 times below 100 points, 10 times from 101 to 200, 20 times from 201 to 300, and 301 to 400 Divided into 50 times and so on. The control unit 601 moves the processing to S1004 when the number of measurements exceeds the threshold value of the number of measurements determined for the purity level, and moves the processing to S1004 when the threshold value is not exceeded S1005. In addition, when the pure level is the level of the highest point range, the processing of this step may not be performed, and the processing moves to S1005.

In S1004, the control unit 601 stores the level name corresponding to the level above the pure level (the level determined by the high point range) as the provided level name in the memory 603.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S1003 that the number of measurements does not exceed the threshold of the number of measurements determined for the pure level, the control unit 601 stores the name of the level corresponding to the pure level as the provided level name in the memory 603 in S1005 .

Furthermore, in S1006, the control unit 601 determines the text that connects the provision name and provision level name stored in the memory 603 as the provision title.

In this way, even wearers who are not good at sports can still provide the title above the usual evaluation by repeating the measurement, and the result can trigger the wearer's willingness to exercise. In addition, for simplicity in this embodiment, the threshold value determined for each level is set to one, and depending on whether it is exceeded, the level name corresponding to the level above the pure level or the level name corresponding to the pure level is switched. The level name is explained, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the threshold determined for each level can be set in stages based on the number of levels higher than the level. The results show that the application can be configured to provide the highest level based on the number of measurements. Title holder.

In addition, in this embodiment, the class name is used to correspond to whether the number of measurements exceeds the threshold The description is made by referring to different situations, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the calculation of the integral of the measurement result, the final integral can be derived by multiplying the integral determined for the measurement result by a coefficient corresponding to the number of measurements. The higher the number of measurements, the higher the level. The corresponding method is adjusted to control the title provided.

Or, it is possible to assign points of more than 0 points to one measurement of the training mode, and to derive the cumulative points (cumulative points) by adding the assigned points for each measurement, based on the cumulative points exceeding a specific threshold Value and assign the title of a specific level. When assigning a title based on the cumulative points exceeding a specific threshold value, as a specific point for the first measurement of the training mode, it is better to set in advance a point that does not depend on the measurement result based on one point or more assigned based on the first measurement ( Basic points). Since the basic score can be set in advance, the cumulative score can be increased by repeating the number of measurements, so even wearers with low athletic ability can still get a higher title. In addition, as a specific point for one measurement of the training mode, it is more preferable to set a point (additional point) given based on the measurement result in advance. Because the addition points are set in advance in addition to the basic points, for example, if the evaluation of the measurement results is better, the more points are obtained, the authors who have obtained the measurement results of the good evaluation will gradually increase the share of the addition points. Accumulate points more frequently, so the points can exceed a certain threshold earlier than those with poor test results and get the title of higher rank. Therefore, it becomes the motivation to give good evaluation results.

For example, regarding the title determination processing in this aspect, the specific processing will be described using the flowchart in FIG. 11. The processing corresponding to this flowchart can be realized by the control unit 601 reading out, for example, the result display application program stored in the recording unit 602, expanding and executing it in the memory 603 in the same way as the above-mentioned title determination processing. In addition, the decision processing of this title is based on the Explain the situation when the measurement result of the training mode is obtained in the program. In addition, FIG. 11 also illustrates the processing of the aspect in which the praise element provided by the measurement result is a title, but it can also be understood that the praise element that does not need to be provided for the training mode is a title in the implementation of the present invention.

In S1101, the control unit 601 stores the ability name of the sports event (target sports event) corresponding to the obtained measurement result as the provided ability name in the memory 603.

In S1102, the control unit 601 stores a basic point (for example, 5 points) that does not depend on the measurement result for the measurement of the target sport event this time as the current point (initial value 0). Here, since the basic score system does not depend on the score of the measurement result, as the number of measurements of the target sports event purely increases, the accumulated points (cumulative points) for the measurement of the target sports event increase.

In S1103, the control unit 601 derives the integral (addition point) of the obtained measurement result, and adds it to this integral. The addition points derived in this mode are determined by a specific value range (for example, 0~5 points). The added score can be derived by scoring the measurement result based on a specific evaluation criterion. For example, as in this example, by setting the way that the better the measurement result is, the higher the score is obtained in a specific value range, and the wearer intends to be in training mode in order to obtain the title earlier. The motivation to give good results in the measurement.

In this example, for the sake of simplicity, the addition points are described as being higher as the measurement result is better, but it is not limited to this. The scoring reference or value range may be different depending on the measured sports items, for example, it may be a sports item with a high physical load (a long measurement time, a large number of necessary steps, etc.), and a low physical load ( Short measurement time, less necessary steps, etc.) Those who can derive a higher summing point for setting compared to the project. In addition, it does not need to be limited to addition points, and differences can also be set between sports items for basic points. In addition, it is possible to set a difference to the basic score corresponding to the title obtained at the time of measurement, or to set the difference in the scoring basis or value range of the added score. For example, the basic score can be lowered as the title obtained at the time of measurement becomes higher. , So as to set the value range of addition points more widely.

In S1104, the control unit 601 adds the current points (basic points + added points) to the cumulative points of the wearer’s target sports items stored in the recording unit 602, for example, and derives a new measurement result reflecting this time Cumulative points.

In S1105, the control unit 601 specifies the level corresponding to the accumulated points reflecting the measurement result of this time based on the new accumulated points derived in S1104, and stores the level name corresponding to the level as the provided level name in the memory 603. The level specified in this step only needs to be based on which of the above-mentioned points range the new accumulated points derived in S1104 belongs to (whether it exceeds the lowest point of each of the above-mentioned points range (specific threshold)). can.

In S1106, the control unit 601 determines the text linking the providing capability name and the providing level name stored in the memory 603 as the title of providing.

In this way, the willingness to exercise of any wearer of the wearer with low ability and wearer with high ability can be triggered.

Also, in this aspect, as long as the number of measurements is repeated, even if it does not depend on the measurement result It is also possible to simply increase the cumulative score, so for example, the number of times that at least one of the basic score and the added score can be added can be limited for a measurement performed within a specific time. In addition, it can be configured to further trigger the wearer's willingness to exercise by increasing the added points when the measurement result exceeds the highest record.

In addition, in the result display application of this embodiment, the case of obtaining exercise information in the day mode and the training mode to display the results has been described, but it is easy to understand that the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the result display in each mode of the result display application does not need to be performed based on the communication between the communication terminal 600 and the sensor unit 500 as a necessary condition. For example, the result display application may be configured to be activated and display the result even when the sports shoe 100 is not present near the communication terminal 600 or the sports shoe 100 is not currently worn. In this situation, if the movement information of each mode was received in the past, the result display for that mode as shown in FIG. 8(a) or FIG. 8(b) can be performed based on the received movement information.

As described above, according to the exercise amount measuring system of this embodiment, the spontaneous exercise intention of the wearer of the shoe that can measure the amount of exercise performed can be triggered.
