Abstract

A form analyzing device includes a storing section configured to store form information in the past in which detection results in the past of an inertia sensor (an inertia measuring unit) attached to the upper limb of a user or a hitting instrument held by the hand of the user and forms of swings of the user are associated, an estimating section configured to extract, from the storing section, the form information in the past corresponding to the present detection result of the inertia sensor, and a notifying section configured to notify the user of the present form information based on the form information in the past corresponding to the present detection result.

Claims

1. A form analyzing device comprising:

a storing section configured to store form information in past in which detection results in the past of a physical quantity sensor attached to an upper limb of a user or a hitting instrument held by a hand of the user and forms of swings of the user are associated;

an estimating section configured to extract, from the storing section, the form information in the past corresponding to a present detection result of the physical quantity sensor; and

a notifying section configured to notify the user of present form information based on the form information in the past corresponding to the present detection result.

2. The form analyzing device according to claim 1, wherein the form analyzing device further includes the physical quantity sensor.

3. The form analyzing device according to claim 1, further comprising a communication section configured to communicate with the physical quantity sensor.

4. The form analyzing device according to claim 1, wherein the present form information includes an advice for improving a form.

5. The form analyzing device according to claim 1, wherein the present form information includes images of the forms.

6. A form analyzing system comprising:

a physical quantity sensor attached to an upper limb of a user or a hitting instrument held by a hand of the user; and

a form analyzing device including;

a communication section configured to communicate with the physical quantity sensor;

a storing section configured to store form information in past in which detection results in the past of a physical quantity sensor and forms of swings of the user are associated;

an estimating section configured to extract, from the storing section, the form information in the past corresponding to a present detection result of the physical quantity sensor; and

a notifying section configured to notify the user of present form information based on the form information in the past corresponding to the present detection result.

7. A form analyzing method comprising:

storing, in a storing section, form information in past in which detection results in the past of a physical quantity sensor attached to an upper limb of a user or a hitting instrument held by a hand of the user and forms of swings of the user are associated;

extracting, from the storing section, the form information in the past corresponding to a present detection result of the physical quantity sensor; and

notifying the user of present form information based on the form information in the past corresponding to the present detection result.

8. The form analyzing method according to claim 7, wherein the present form information includes an advice for improving a form.

9. The form analyzing method according to claim 7, wherein the present form information includes images of the forms.

10. A form analyzing program for causing a form analyzing system to execute a form analyzing method comprising:

storing, in a storing section, form information in past in which detection results in the past of a physical quantity sensor attached to an upper limb of a user or a hitting instrument held by a hand of the user and forms of swings of the user are associated;

extracting, from the storing section, the form information in the past corresponding to present detection result of the physical quantity sensor; and

notifying the user of present form information based on the form information in the past corresponding to the present detection result.
