Electronic pedometer
First Claim
1. An electronic pedometer comprising:
- a walk sensor for detecting a walk of a user to output a walk signal corresponding to the walk;
calculation means for calculating the number of steps of the user based on the walk signal; and
a belt with which at least the walk sensor is worn on a wrist of the user,wherein the walk sensor being used at least by being worn on the wrist of the user using the belt;
wherein the walk sensor is disposed so that a sensitivity axis of the walk sensor is located in a range of 30Ω
or smaller in a counterclockwise direction from 90Ω
with respect to a longitudinal direction of the belt, or in a range of 30Ω
or smaller in a clockwise direction from 90Ω
with respect to the longitudinal direction of the belt.

Abstract
To realize miniaturization and detection of a walk state in which no arm is swung in an electronic pedometer in which at least a walk sensor is used in a state of being worn on a wrist. An acceleration sensor is disposed so that a sensitivity axis of the acceleration sensor is located in a range of 30Ω or smaller in a counterclockwise direction from the direction of 90Ω with respect to a longitudinal direction of a belt. A user of an electronic pedometer wears the electronic pedometer on his/her left wrist using the belt and starts processing for counting the number of steps by manipulating a manipulation portion, and also starts to walk, thereby starting counting the number of steps. The user checks the counted number of steps and the measured time period based on displayed contents on a step number display portion and a time display portion of a display portion.
