BODY MOTION DETECTION DEVICE CAPABLE OF PROPERLY MANAGING INFORMATION ON NUMBER OF STEPS IN WALKING EXERCISE
First Claim
1. A body motion detection device comprising:
- a count unit counting a number of steps in a walking mode by detecting body motion;
a calculation unit calculating an amount of exercise based on said counted number of steps;
said walking mode including a first walking mode and a second walking mode,a receiving unit receiving from another device a signal indicating start or end of said second walking mode;
said signal containing information identifying said another device, anda setting unit setting, as a parameter used in said calculation unit, a parameter for said first walking mode or a parameter for said second walking mode based on said signal.

Abstract
A Nordic walking pole has a transmission device attached thereto and a switch thereof is pushed to transmit a signal indicating the start or end of Nordic walking. A pedometer receives the signal from the transmission device to thereby detect that the start or end of Nordic walking is instructed (S107). Assuming that the Nordic mode is specified when the current walking mode is a normal walking mode, the parameter for Nordic walking is set as a parameter for the arithmetic operation (S111). Assuming that the normal walking mode is specified when the current walking mode is a Nordic mode, the parameter for the normal walking mode is set as a parameter for the arithmetic operation (S113).

15. A walking-exercise-amount calculation system comprising:
-
a body motion detection device including a count unit counting a number of steps in a walking mode by detecting body motion, and a calculation unit calculating an amount of exercise based on said counted number of steps; and an information transmission device attached to a tool to be used for walking exercise, said information transmission device including an instruction unit for giving an instruction to start or end said walking exercise, and a transmitting unit for transmitting a signal responding to said instruction, said walking mode including a first walking mode corresponding to a normal walking mode and a second walking mode corresponding to a walking mode in said walking exercise, said body motion detection device further including a receiving unit receiving from said information transmission device a signal indicating start or end of said second walking mode, and a setting unit setting, as a parameter used in said calculation unit, a parameter for said first walking mode or a parameter for said second walking mode based on said signal. - View Dependent Claims (16)
