Body motion detection device capable of properly managing information on number of steps in walking exercise
First Claim
1. A body motion detection device comprising:
- a count unit counting a number of steps in a walking mode by detecting body motion, said walking mode including a first walking mode and a second walking mode;
a calculation unit calculating an amount of exercise based on said counted number of steps;
a receiving unit receiving from another device a signal indicating start or end of said second walking mode, said signal containing information identifying said another device; and
a setting unit setting, as a parameter used in said calculation unit, a parameter for said first walking mode when said signal indicates said end of said second walking mode and a parameter for said second walking mode when said signal indicates said start of said second walking mode.

Abstract
A Nordic walking pole has a transmission device attached thereto and a switch thereof is pushed to transmit a signal indicating the start or end of Nordic walking. A pedometer receives the signal from the transmission device to thereby detect that the start or end of Nordic walking is instructed (S107). Assuming that the Nordic mode is specified when the current walking mode is a normal walking mode, the parameter for Nordic walking is set as a parameter for the arithmetic operation (S111). Assuming that the normal walking mode is specified when the current walking mode is a Nordic mode, the parameter for the normal walking mode is set as a parameter for the arithmetic operation (S113).
