INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a step count detector which detects step counts;
a step count storage which stores step count data corresponding to the step counts detected by said step count detector in a first memory; and
a saver which automatically reads the step count data stored in said first memory at a predetermined timing and saves the same in a second memory different from said first memory.

Abstract
A game apparatus as an information processing apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU counts step counts on the basis of an acceleration signal from an acceleration sensor when cover closing information is received from a microcomputer in a state that the power source is turned on. Step count data corresponding to the step counts is stored in a memory within the microcomputer in a cluster for every first predetermined time (one hour). Furthermore, in a case that a first mode is set in a state that the power source of the game apparatus is turned on, the step count data stored in the memory is automatically saved in a NAND-type flash memory every time that a second predetermined time has elapsed before the first mode switches to a second mode, or before the power source of the game apparatus is turned off.

16. A storage medium storing an information processing program, said information processing program causes a computer to function as:
-
a step count detector which detects step counts; a step count storage which stores step count data corresponding to the step counts detected by said step count detector in a first memory; and a saver which automatically reads the step count data stored in said first memory at a predetermined timing and saves the same in a second memory different from said first memory.

17. An information processing method, wherein
a computer (a) detects step counts, (b) stores step count data corresponding to the step counts detected by said step (a) in a first memory, and (c) automatically reads the step count data stored in said first memory at a predetermined timing and saves the same in a second memory different from said first memory.

18. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a microcomputer which detects step counts and stores step count data corresponding to the detected step counts in a first memory; and a CPU which reads the step count data stored in said first memory and saves the same in a second memory different from said first memory;
whereinthe CPU automatically reads the step count data stored in the first memory at a predetermined timing and saves the same in the second memory and stops in response to a request from the microcomputer during running, and boots up in response to a request from the microcomputer, reads the step count data stored in the first memory and saves the same in the second memory during a stop.

19. A information processing method of an information processing apparatus, comprising:
-
a microcomputer which detects step counts and stores step count data corresponding to the detected step counts in a first memory; and a CPU which reads the step count data stored in said first memory and saves the same in a second memory different from said first memory;
whereinwherein the CPU automatically reads the step count data stored in the first memory at a predetermined timing and saves the same in the second memory and stops in response to a request from the microcomputer during running, and boots up in response to a request from the microcomputer, reads the step count data stored in the first memory and saves the same in the second memory during a stop.
