STEP COUNTING SYSTEM AND STEP COUNTER
First Claim
1. A step counting system comprising:
- a portable terminal comprising a processor, a display, and a first communication interface; and
a step counter comprising a motion sensor, a step detector, a controller, and a second communication interface, the second communication interface to communicate with the first communication interface, the motion sensor to sense motion of a user carrying the step counter, the step detector to detect whether a step motion is sensed by the motion sensor, the controller to transmit an increment by one signal to the processor via the first and second communication interfaces each time a step motion is detected by the step detector;
the processor to update the number of steps shown on the display by increasing the number of steps by one each time the processor receives the increment by one signal from the controller.

Abstract
A step counting system includes a portable terminal and a step counter. The portable terminal includes a processor and a first communication interface. The step counter includes a motion sensor, a step detector, a controller, and a second communication interface. The second communication interface communicates with the first communication interface. The motion sensor senses motion of a user carrying the step counter. The detector detects whether a step motion is sensed by the motion sensor. The controller transmits an increment by one signal to the processor each time a step is detected by the detector. The processor updates its display of the number of steps by increasing the number of steps by one each time the processor receives the increment by one signal from the controller.
