BODY MOTION DETECTION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A body motion detector comprising a first body motion detecting unit fixed and arranged to detect a body motion in a predetermined detecting axis direction, and a body casing accommodating the first body motion detecting unit;
- whereinthe detecting axis of the first body motion detecting unit is arranged in an inclined manner at a first inclination angle with respect to an attachment surface to a body of the body casing; and
the first inclination angle is within a detectable angle range of the first body motion detecting unit.

Abstract
A pedometer (100A) includes a sensor unit (150) fixed and arranged so as to detect a body motion in a predetermined detecting axis direction, and a body casing accommodating the sensor unit (150). The detecting axis of the sensor unit (150) is arranged in an inclined manner at an inclination angle with respect to an attachment surface (122) to a body of the body casing, where the inclination angle is within a detectable angle range of the sensor unit (150). According to such configuration, a compact and inexpensive pedometer in which lowering in measurement precision due to variation in the attachment state attributed to the body shape of the user is prevented is obtained.
