Mobile terminal and step length-calculating method
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal for calculating a step length of a user, comprising:
- a step count-acquiring section to acquire a step count of the user;
a position calculating section to calculate a position of the mobile terminal;
a center position-calculating section to calculate a center position of a plurality of positions calculated by said position calculating section;
a covered distance-calculating section to calculate a distance covered by the mobile terminal based on a plurality of center positions calculated by said center position-calculating section; and
a step length-calculating section to calculate the step length based on the step count acquired by said step count-acquiring section and the covered distance calculated by said covered distance-calculating section.

Abstract
A mobile terminal which makes it possible to automatically calculate a step length of a user with accuracy. A step count-acquiring section acquires a step count of the user of a mobile terminal. A position calculating section calculates a position of the mobile terminal. A center position-calculating section calculates a center position of a plurality of positions calculated by the position calculating section. A covered distance-calculating section calculates a distance covered by the mobile terminal based on a plurality of the center positions calculated by the center position-calculating section. A step length-calculating section calculates the step length based on the step count acquired by the step count-acquiring section and the covered distance calculated by the covered distance-calculating section.
