Abstract
A body motion detection section (2) for continuously detecting the frequency of a user'"'"'s activity as an activity level is provided. The activity level detected by the body motion detection section (2) is outputted to a fatigue detection section (3) for estimating a user'"'"'s fatigue level on the basis of the activity level.
