Velocity meter
First Claim
1. A device for determining the velocity and, optionally, the distance traveled by an object through measuring successive stepping movements of the object, which device comprises:
- (a) measuring means for measuring the acceleration of the object in two main directions during a stepping movement;
(b) processing means for determining the velocity from the measured accelerations, wherein the processing means are configured such that, on the basis of an orientation progression, the measured accelerations are integrated to a velocity and optional determination of the distance traveled; and
(c) means for displaying the velocity and, optionally, the distance traveled as calculated by the processing means.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for determining velocity and optionally distance traveled by measuring successive stepping movements of an object, which device comprises:
measuring means for measuring the acceleration of the object in two main directions during a stepping movement;
processing means for determining the velocity from the measured accelerations, wherein the processing means are adapted such that
on the basis of an orientation progression the measured accelerations are integrated to a velocity and optional determination of the distance traveled;
means for displaying the velocity and optionally the distance traveled calculated by the processing means.
