Apparatus for measuring activity
First Claim
1. An activity measuring device for recording the activity of a test subject, wherein the activity measuring device is securable to a buckle of a belt that is configured to be fitted to the body of the test subject such that the activity measuring device can be carried on the body of the test subject, and the activity measuring device includes at least one acceleration sensor configured to detect acceleration in all three spatial directions at right angles to each other.

Abstract
An activity measuring device (1) is used for recording the activity of a test subject, where the device (1) is attachable so as to be carried on the body of the test subject. According to the invention it is planned that the activity measuring device is located on a buckle (2) of a belt (3) which can be fitted to the body of the test subject, and that it has acceleration sensors (10, 10′) for detection of acceleration in all three spatial directions at right angles to each other. Furthermore, the activity measuring device (1) telemeters the recorded measurement data via a radio link to a central server (7), by virtue of the fact that the measurement data recorded by the activity measuring device (1) can be transmitted by means of a connecting cable (5) to a mobile telephone (4) via a device interface of the mobile telephone (4), which is arranged so as to be carried on the belt, and can be sent from there to the external server (7) via a radio link.

11. A method for recording an activity of a test subject, the method comprising:
-
continuously measuring in three spatial directions that are at right angles to each other, body accelerations underlying the momentary physical activity of the test subject; and
determining a current state of motion is based upon the continuous measurements of the body accelerations of the test subject. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
