Measurement apparatus, measurement method and non-transitory computer readable recording medium with program stored thereon
First Claim
1. A measurement apparatus comprising:
- a judgement unit which judges whether a traveling movement of a user is a running movement or a walking movement,a first sensor which continuously acquires a vertical direction acceleration generated in accordance with the traveling movement of the user,a second sensor which continuously acquires a travel direction acceleration generated in accordance with the traveling movement, anda first determination unit which determines a plurality of landing points of time each being a point of time when a foot of the user lands based on a continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration when the judgement unit judges that the traveling movement of the user is the running movement, and which determines the plurality of landing points of time based on only the continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration between the continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration when the judgement unit judges that the traveling movement of the user is the walking movement.

Abstract
A measurement apparatus including: a first sensor which continuously acquires a vertical direction acceleration generated in accordance with a traveling movement of a user, a second sensor which continuously acquires a travel direction acceleration generated in accordance with the traveling movement, a first determination unit which determines, based on a continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration, a plurality of landing points of time each being a point of time when a foot of the user lands, and a first acquiring unit which acquires, based on the plurality of landing points of time, a period required for one step of the user in the traveling movement.

11. A measurement method comprising:
-
judging whether a traveling movement of a user is a running movement or a walking movement, acquiring continuously a vertical direction acceleration generated in accordance with the traveling movement of the user, acquiring continuously a travel direction acceleration generated in accordance with the traveling movement, determining a plurality of landing points of time each being a point of time when a foot of the user lands based on a continuous change of the acquired vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration when judging that the traveling movement of the user is the running movement, and determining the plurality of landing points of time based on only the continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration between the continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration when judging that the traveling movement of the user is the walking movement.

12. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium which stores an executable program that is read by a computer to make a controlling unit execute operations comprising:
-
judging whether a traveling movement of a user is a running movement or a walking movement, acquiring continuously a vertical direction acceleration generated in accordance with a traveling movement of a user, acquiring continuously a travel direction acceleration generated in accordance with the traveling movement, determining, based on a continuous change of the acquired vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration, a plurality of landing points of time each being a point of time when a foot of the user lands based on a continuous change of the acquired vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration when judging that the traveling movement of the user is the running movement, and determining the plurality of landing points of time based on only the continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration between the continuous change of the vertical direction acceleration and the travel direction acceleration when judging that the traveling movement of the user is the walking movement.
