Abstract
In an automatic recording mode, an action sensor 6 detects acceleration depending on motion of a user 9 in a three-dimensional space, displays the number of steps as computed on the basis of the detected acceleration on an LCD 35 as equipped therewith, and records it. In a manual recording mode, the action sensor 6 records behavior information and body information as inputted by the user 9. In a communication mode, the action sensor 6 transmits the information recorded in the automatic recording mode and the manual recording mode to a cartridge 4 while the cartridge 4 visualizes the information. In the communication mode, the action sensor 6 inputs the acceleration information to the cartridge 4 in real time, and provide the user 9 with various contents using a video image to be displayed on a television monitor 5 in cooperation with the cartridge 4.
