ACTIVITY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An activity measurement system comprising:
- an activity detection means configured to detect an activity of a user and obtain an activity intensity per unit time with regard to the activity;
a first operation means configured to obtain a first index which is a product of the activity intensity exceeding a predetermined reference intensity and a time during which the activity intensity exceeds said reference intensity within a predetermined measurement time period;
a personal information table configured to store physical characteristics of the user;
a second operation means configured to provide a second index different from said first index based upon said activity intensity; and
a display means including a display providing a X-Y matrix plane and being configured to show an activity information indication which is a combination of said first and second indexes at a position in an coordinate system defined by said fist and second indexes;
wherein said second operation means is configured to obtain a total of a consumption energy defined by a function of the activity intensity per unit time and the physical characteristics of the user read out from said personal information table within said measurement time period, to obtain, based on the physical characteristics of the user read out from said personal information table, a basal metabolic rate required within said measurement time period, and to provide said second index which is the consumption energy divided by said basal metabolic rate.

Abstract
An activity measurement system gives, based upon consecutively measured activity intensities, an exercise index (EX) indicative of energetic exercise and a daily activity index (DA) indicative of a routine living activity within a predetermined measurement time period, and display an activity element A (x, y), a combination of these indexes within an X-Y matrix plane. The exercise index (EX) is calculated at a first operation means as a sum of a product of the activity intensity exceeds a predetermined reference and a time period during which the activity intensity exceeds the reference, within the measurement time period. The daily activity index (DA) is calculated at a second operation means as a caloric consumption divided by a basal metabolic rate of a user within the measurement time period. The caloric consumption is determined a function of the activity intensity per unit time below the reference and data indicative of physical characteristics of the user. The basal metabolic rate is calculated based upon the data of the physical characteristics which are stored in a personal information data table provided in the system.
