PORTABLE DEVICE FOR CALCULATING CONSUMED CALORIES
First Claim
1. A portable device for measuring a consumed calorie, the device comprising:
- a respiration measurement device measuring an amount of air inhaled into a user'"'"'s nose to acquire and output a respiration signal;
a plurality of movement detection devices acquiring and outputting acceleration signals reflecting (or indicating) the magnitude and direction of a movement of each part of the user'"'"'s body; and
a controller recognizing the amount of a user'"'"'s movements and movement patterns by analyzing the acceleration signal, recognizing an intensity of an exercise by analyzing the respiration signal, and calculating a consumed calories in consideration of the amount of a user'"'"'s movements, the movement patterns, and the intensity of exercise.

Abstract
A portable device for measuring a consumed calories includes: a respiration measurement device measuring an amount of air inhaled into a user'"'"'s nose to acquire and output a respiration signal; a plurality of movement detection devices acquiring and outputting acceleration signals reflecting (or indicating) the magnitude and direction of a movement of each part of the user'"'"'s body; and a controller recognizing the amount of a user'"'"'s movements and movement patterns by analyzing the acceleration signal, recognizing an intensity of an exercise by analyzing the respiration signal, and calculating a consumed calories in consideration of the amount of the user'"'"'s movements, the movement patterns, and the intensity of exercise. A user'"'"'s consumed calories can be precisely calculated by recognizing the user'"'"'s movement and even the user'"'"'s respiration rate.
