Abstract

A performance information notification device according to an application example includes: an acquisition unit which acquires information indicating at least one of load exercise and rest in interval exercise; and a notification unit which reports performance information about at least one of a time during which the load exercise is carried out and a time during which the rest is carried out, based on the information indicating at least one of the load exercise and the rest.

Claims

1. A performance information notification device comprising a processor configured to:

acquire information about at least one exercise cycle detected by a sensor, the at least one exercise cycle including a load exercise session and a rest session; and

report performance information about a time during which the load exercise session is carried out in proportional relation to a time during which the rest session is carried out, based on the acquired information.

2. The performance information notification device according to claim 1, wherein

the performance information includes at least one of a cumulative value of the time during which the load exercise session is carried out and a cumulative value of the time during which the rest session is carried out.

3. The performance information notification device according to claim 1, wherein

the performance information includes at least one of a proportion of a cumulative value of the time during which the load exercise session is carried out to a total time of the exercise cycle, and a proportion of a cumulative value of the time during which the rest session is carried out to the total time of the exercise cycle.

4. The performance information notification device according to claim 1, wherein

the performance information includes at least one of a time during which the load exercise session is carried out in the one exercise cycle and a time during which the rest session is carried out in the one exercise cycle.

5. The performance information notification device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor detects a movement of a person.

6. The performance information notification device according to claim 1, further comprising

a clock that measures a time elapsed,

wherein the processor reports the performance information generated, based on the time elapsed and the information about at least one of the load exercise session and the rest session.

7. A performance information notification method comprising:

acquiring information about at least one exercise cycle by a sensor, the at least one exercise cycle including a load exercise session and rest session; and

reporting performance information about a time during which the load exercise session is carried out in proportional relation to a time during which the rest session is carried out, based on the acquired information.

8. The performance information notification method according to claim 7, wherein

the performance information includes at least one of a cumulative value of the time during which the load exercise session is carried out and a cumulative value of the time during which the rest session is carried out.

9. The performance information notification method according to claim 7, wherein

the performance information includes at least one of a proportion of a cumulative value of the time during which the load exercise session is carried out to a total time of the exercise cycle, and a proportion of a cumulative value of the time during which the rest session is carried out to the total time of the exercise cycle.

10. The performance information notification method according to claim 9, wherein

the performance information includes at least one of a time during which the load exercise session is carried out in the one exercise cycle and a time during which the rest session is carried out in the one exercise cycle.

11. The performance information notification method according to claim 7, wherein the acquiring includes acquiring information about a movement of a person detected by the sensor.

12. The performance information notification method according to claim 7, further comprising:

measuring a time elapsed,

wherein the reporting includes reporting the performance information generated, based on the time elapsed and the information about at least one of the load exercise session and the rest session.

13. A performance information notification device which displays, on a display screen:

a proportion of a load exercise session which is a proportion of a cumulative value of a time during which the load exercise session is carried out to a time during which an interval exercise is carried out, the interval exercise being detected by a sensor and including the load exercise session and a rest session; and

a proportion of the rest session which is a proportion of a cumulative value of a time during which the rest session is carried out to the time during which the interval exercise is carried out.

14. The performance information notification device according to claim 13, wherein

the proportion of the load exercise session and the proportion of the rest session are expressed by a graph.

15. A performance information notification device which displays, on a display screen:

a proportion of a load exercise session which is a proportion of a time during which the load exercise session is carried out to a time during which one exercise cycle detected by a sensor and made up of one load exercise session and one rest session is carried out, and

a proportion of the rest session which is a proportion of a time during which the rest session is carried out to the time during which the one exercise cycle is carried out.

16. The performance information notification device according to claim 15, wherein

the proportion of the load exercise session and the proportion of the rest session are expressed by a graph.

17. The performance information notification device according to claim 15, wherein

at least one of the time during which the load exercise session is carried out and the time during which the rest session is carried out is displayed on the display screen.
