Passive-type exercising device and its control device
First Claim
1. A passive-type exercising device having an exercise assistance mechanism for assisting exercise of a user as well as applying an exercising load to the user by operating in a predetermined operation pattern, comprising:
- a load setting value acquisition unit for obtaining a load setting value which is a setting value for amplitude of the exercising load applied to the user by the exercise assistance mechanism;
an assistance load value derivation unit for deriving an assistance load value indicating amplitude of the exercising load reduced by the exercise assistance mechanism'"'"'s assisting the exercise of the user;
a sensor provided at the exercise assistance mechanism;
a sensor value acquisition unit for obtaining a sensor value outputted by the sensor indicating an operation intensity of the exercise assistance mechanism;
a combined load value derivation unit for deriving a combined load value which is a combined value of the assistance load value and an effective load value indicating amplitude of an exercising load applied to the user by the user'"'"'s active exercise based on the sensor value obtained at the sensor value acquisition unit; and
an exercise intensity derivation unit for deriving an exercise intensity indicating an exercise intensity of the user based on the effective load value computed as a difference between the assistance load value derived at the assistance load value derivation unit and the combined load value derived at the combined load value derivation unit.

Abstract
A passive-type exercising device and its control device are provided in which accuracy of deriving exercise intensity is improved. The passive-type exercising device includes an exercise assistance mechanism for assisting exercise of a user; a load setting value acquisition unit 131 for obtaining a load setting value which is a setting value of a degree that the exercise assistance mechanism assists the user'"'"'s exercise; an assistance load value derivation unit 132 for deriving an assistance load value that the exercise assistance mechanism assists the user'"'"'s exercise; a sensor value acquisition unit 134 for obtaining a sensor value outputted by a sensor unit 32 provided at the exercise assistance mechanism; a combined load value derivation unit 135 for deriving a combined load value which is a combined value of the assistance load value and an effective load value of the user'"'"'s active exercise based on the obtained sensor value; and an exercise intensity derivation unit 150 for deriving an exercise intensity indicating the user'"'"'s exercise intensity based on the effective load value computed as a difference between the assistance load value and the combined load value.
