PEDOMETER
First Claim
1. A pedometer including an acceleration sensor, the pedometer being able to switch between a measurement mode in which user'"'"'s steps are counted based on a waveform obtained from the acceleration sensor and a learning mode in which a criterion used to determine one step in the measurement mode is learned,the pedometer characterized by comprising criterion setting means for causing the user to perform walking of a predetermined reference number of steps in the learning mode and setting the criterion based on the reference number of steps and a reference waveform obtained from the acceleration sensor during the walking of the reference number of steps.

Abstract
A pedometer of the invention includes an acceleration sensor, and the pedometer is able to switch between a measurement mode in which user'"'"'s steps are counted based on a waveform obtained from the acceleration sensor and a learning mode in which a criterion used to determine one step in the measurement mode is learned. The pedometer is characterized by including criterion setting means for causing the user to perform learning walking in the learning mode and setting the criterion based on a reference number of steps indicating the number of steps in the learning walking and a reference waveform obtained from the acceleration sensor during the learning walking.
