Measurement data collection method and portable information device
First Claim
1. A measurement data collection method for collecting measurement data corresponding to a measurement result from a sensor and notifying an application operating in a portable information device of the measurement data, the sensor being arranged in the portable information device and measuring attitude angles about three axial directions of the portable information device, which are perpendicular to each other, and accelerations in at least two of the three axial directions;
- said method comprising;
the condition designation step of causing the application to designate a data collection condition as a condition of measurement data to be collected;
the data collection step of collecting measurement data which satisfies the data collection condition and storing the measurement data in temporary storage means; and
the data report step of reporting, to the application, measurement data which is stored in the temporary storage means and satisfies a data report condition designated by the application as condition of measurement data to be reported to the application.

Abstract
A data collection unit (37) collects measurement data which satisfies a data collection condition designated by an application (33) and stores the measurement data in a temporary storage area (24). The data report unit (38) reports, to the application (33), measurement data which is stored in the temporary storage area (24) and satisfies a data report condition designated by the application (33). As a result, the load on the application 33 using a measurement result by a sensor in measurement data acquisition is reduced.

27. A portable information device comprising:
-
a sensor which measures attitude angles about three axial directions perpendicular to each other and accelerations in at least two of the three axial directions;
temporary storage means for temporarily storing measurement data;
data collection means for collecting measurement data which satisfies a data collection condition designated by an application as a condition of data to be collected in the measurement data from said sensor and storing the measurement data in said temporary storage means; and
