`aforementioned mode selection means, and it can ask for a consumed calorie from a heart rate as
`

`
`[0017]
`[Mode for carrying out the invention]Hereafter, the embodiment of this invention is described
`based on Drawings.
`(Embodiment 1) The consumed calorie meter of this embodiment consists of the acceleration
`
`401 of 1568
`
`

`
`detector 1, the heart rate primary detecting element 2, the operation part 3, and the display 4, as
`shown in rlrawi.n<> 1.
`
`[00l8]The acceleration detector 1 has an acceleration sensor which detects the voltage
`corresponding to the acceleration which changes with movement of an operating personnel. The
`heart rate primary detecting element 2 detects the heart rate of an operating personnel. In this
`consumed calorie meter, input into the operation part 3 the heart rate detected in the heart rate
`primary detecting element 2, and the acceleration (corresponding voltage) detected by the
`acceleration detector l, and calculate a consumed calorie in the operation part 3 based on the
`aforementioned heart rate and the aforementioned acceleration, and. Movement speed, the
`number of steps, and migration length are calculated from the acceleration detected by the
`acceleration detector 1. The consumed calorie, the movement speed, the number of steps, and
`migration length which were calculated by the operation part 3 are displayed on the display 4
`which consists of liquid crystals. Therefore, the grasp of the consumed calorie at the times of
`movement (for example, a walk, a hike, etc.), migration length, the number of steps, and
`movement speed of an operating personnel is attained, and it can be used for management of a
`movement state.
`
`[00] 9]By the way, in this consumed calorie meter, in order to ask for a consumed calorie from a
`heart rate, The regression line A shown in drawin£.r Z explained by the conventional example is
`used noting that it is in an inactive state, when a heart rate is the following by 95-beat/V, and when
`a heart rate is beyond a 95-beat part grade for /, the regression line B shown in _<j_r_j
`used,
`and it asks for a consumed calorie with a following formula, respectively.
`case where a heart rate is the following by 95—beat/ Case where a consumed calorie =ax heart
`rate +b heart rate is above by 95-beat/ consumed calorie =cx heart rate +d -- here, a-d is a
`constant.
`
`[0020]On the other hand, when calculating a consumed calorie from acceleration, it asks for a
`consumed calorie with a following formula using the proportionality of a consumed calorie and
`acceleration as shown in
`consumed calorie =cx acceleration +f -- here, e and f are constants. Hereafter, the operation part
`3 is explained in detail.
`
`[002l]The operation part 3 has a physical activity decision means which judges a physical
`activity based on the acceleration detected by the heart rate detected in the heart rate primary
`detecting element 2, and the acceleration detector 1, and asks for a consumed calorie by either of
`the upper types according to the decision result of this physical activity decision means. The
`heart rate and reference center beat number (here) which were detected in the physical activity
`decision means in the heart rate primary detecting element 2 a part for 95-beat/-- carrying ou --
`the case where it compares and a heart rate is more than a reference center beat number -- a heart
`rate —— "— the case where it distinguishes that it is large" and a heart rate is less than a reference
`center beat number -- a heart rate -- ", while distinguishing that it is small", The acceleration and
`reference acceleration which were detected by the acceleration detector 1 are measured, when
`acceleration is more than reference acceleration, it distinguishes that acceleration is "size", and
`when acceleration is less than reference acceleration, it distinguishes that acceleration is
`"smallness." That is, in a physical activity decision means, it is judged which of four patterns, * *
`
`402 of 1568
`
`

`
`in the matrix shown in d1'awins: 4 according to the size of a heart rate and each acceleration, **,
`**, and **, the physical activity of an operating personnel hits.
`
`[0022]In drawinw 4, since it does not have the room of doubt that there are many body activities
`in ** whose heart rate and acceleration it is few in ** which is "smallness", and body activities
`are "size" in, as for the operation part 3, a heart rate and acceleration ask for a consumed calorie
`from acceleration. When judged as ** or ** by a physical activity decision means, it may ask for
`a consumed calorie from a heart rate, and what is necessary is just to set up beforehand to choose
`the consumed calorie estimation precision considered to be higher.
`
`[O023]In ** whose acceleration is "smallness" even if a heart rate is "size" in gj_rja,g§{ir;g__{§;, Since a
`actual physical activity hardly follows increase of a consumed calorie on not moving the body
`small in the state, for example, excessive turgescence and uneasy state, where a heart rate is high,
`it asks for a consumed calorie based on the regression line A. For this reason, compared with the
`case where it asks for a consumed calorie from a heart rate based on the regression line B, the
`error over a actual consumed calorie can be made small. It may be made to ask for a consumed
`calorie from acceleration in **.
`
`[0O24]In ** whose heart rate is "smallness" even if acceleration is "size" in gi§jjq3_'~_.fj§_1g__f§;, Since it is
`in the state which rode on vehicles, such as the state which is carrying out the body motion to a
`heart rate hardly changing, for example, a train etc., () [ get blocked and] The state where
`acceleration changes with vibration of a vehicle, and the physical activity of enforcement are
`small, and since a consumed calorie hardly increases, it computes a consumed calorie from a
`heart rate based on the regression line A. For this reason, compared with the case where it asks
`for a consumed calorie from acceleration, the error over a actual consumed calorie can be made
`small.
`
`[0O25]With this consumed calorie plan, as explained above, since the computing equation which
`calculates a consumed calorie according to the decision result of a physical activity decision
`means in the operation part 3 is changed, the error over the actual consumed calorie of an
`operating personnel can be made small, and the accuracy of measurement improves. In the
`operation part 3, it asks for the number of steps from the pitch of the output voltage from an
`acceleration sensor, and migration length is calculated by the product of a step and the number of
`steps. Here, it may be made for a step to input the actual measurement of the step of the
`operating personnel measured beforehand, and it is step (em) = height (cm)-100 (cm), for
`example.
`** —— it may calculate from a formula [ like ]. Movement speed is called for by computing the
`migration length per unit time.
`
`[0026](Embodiment 2) the basic constitution of the consumed calorie meter of this embodiment -
`— Embodiment l —— abbreviated —— it being the same and, It has a physical activity decision means
`the operation part 3 judges the size of a physical activity to be based on the acceleration detected
`by the acceleration detector 1, and differs from Embodiment l in that choose either the
`regression line A or a regression line B according to the decision result of this physical activity
`decision means, and it asks for a consumed calorie from a heart rate.
`
`403 of 1568
`
`

`
`[0027]ln the operation part 3 of this consumed calorie meter, based on the regression line A, it
`asks for a consumed calorie from a heart rate noting that it is not based on the decision result of a
`physical activity decision means but an operating personnel is in an inactive state, when a heart
`rate is the following by 95-beat/. On the other hand, based on the regression line B, it asks for a
`consumed calorie from a heart rate noting that an operating personnel is in an active state when a
`heart rate is above by 95-beat/, and the decision result of a physical activity decision means is
`"size", Based on the regression line A, it asks for a consumed calorie from a heart rate noting that
`an operating personnel is in an inactive state, when the decision result of a physical activity
`decision means is "smallness." For this reason, in this consumed calorie meter, since it asks not
`
`moving most bodies for a consumed calorie from a heart rate based on the regression line A in
`the state, for example, excessive turgescence and uneasy state, where a heart rate is high, the
`error with a actual consumed calorie can be made small.
`
`[0028]In the consumed calorie meter of Embodiment 1, although two exact analytical curves, the
`proportionality of a heart rate and a consumed calorie and the proportionality of acceleration and
`a consumed calorie, must be grasped, an exact analytical curve can be managed with this
`consumed calorie meter one of the proportionality of a heart rate and a consumed calorie. The
`acceleration sensor in the consumed calorie meter of Embodiment l, In order to measure the
`
`strength of movement correctly, it is desirable to equip the waist etc., but the acceleration sensor
`in this consumed calorie meter, Since distinction about the size of a body activity is just
`performed and it is not necessary to equip the waist, it becomes possible as form like the wrist
`watch shown in dra
`____g._—;__§__so that the arm part of the body can be equipped with a consumed
`calorie meter to equip the arm of an operating personnel with the band 1. Here, the consumed
`calorie etc. which were called for by the operation part 3 are displayed on the display 4. By
`forming the optical sensor for detecting the pulse group of an operating personnel in a consumed
`calorie plan, etc. in this case, and detecting a pulse wave, it may ask for a pulse rate and may ask
`for a heart rate from a pulse rate.
`
`[0029](Embodiment 3) the basic constitution of the consumed calorie meter of this embodiment -
`- Embodiment 1 -- abbreviated -- it being the same and, It has a physical activity decision means
`the operation part 3 judges the size of a physical activity to be based on the heart rate detected by
`the heart rate detection means 2, and differs from Embodiment 1 in that it asks for a consumed
`
`calorie from acceleration according to the decision result of this physical activity decision means.
`
`[0030]In the operation part 3 of this consumed calorie meter, when the acceleration detected by
`the acceleration detector 1 is smaller than a specified value, it is not based on the decision result
`of a physical activity decision means, but asks for a consumed calorie from acceleration. On the
`other hand, when the acceleration detected by the acceleration detector 1 is larger than a
`specified value, When the decision result of a physical activity decision means is "size", it asks
`for a consumed calorie from the acceleration, and when the decision result of a physical activity
`decision means is "smallness", a consumed calorie is calculated from the acceleration value at
`the time of the inactive state set up beforehand instead of the acceleration detected by the
`acceleration detector 1. For this reason, in the state where it rides on a heart rate hardly changing
`in this consumed calorie meter at vehicles, such as a state, for example, a train etc., where
`acceleration is large, and acceleration becomes large by vibration of a vehicle, Since it asks for a
`consumed calorie using an acceleration value smaller than the acceleration detected by the
`
`404 of 1568
`
`

`
`acceleration detector 1, the error with a actual consumed calorie can be made small.
`
`[0031]In this consumed calorie meter, since the heart rate just performs distinction about the size
`of a physical activity, it is not necessary to always measure it and intermittent Measurement
`Division may be sufficient as it.
`In (Embodiment 4) and time, when judging a physical activity from acceleration in a physical
`activity decision means, as for the consumed calorie meter of Embodiment 2, a temporary body
`motion may also judge a physical activity to be "size", if acceleration is changed sharply. For
`example, since acceleration is sharply changed by a temporary body motion although there are
`few consumed calories when an operating personnel sits down from the state where stood up
`from the seating position or it stood up, a physical activity is judged to be "size" by a physical
`activity decision means, and a consumed calorie is called for from a heart rate based on the
`regression line B. However, since it is not a physical activity which is like [ which has influence
`on energy metabolism (consumed calorie) ] in the case of such a body motion, an error with a
`consumed calorie with a actual consumed calorie called for from the heart rate based on the
`
`regression line B will become large.
`
`[0032]the consumed calorie meter of this embodiment is ** few about the error of the consumed
`calorie by the above—mentioned cause —— basic constitution —— Embodiment 2 —— abbreviated --
`since it is the same, only the point used as the feature is explained. The physical activity decision
`means of the operation part 3 of this consumed calorie meter distinguishes a physical activity
`from the size of the acceleration detected by the acceleration detector 1 to either of size 2 levels.
`the operation part 3 is a time check here —— it has a means and, in predetermined time, large time
`continuously rather than a specified value. [ acceleration ] (For example, 10 seconds) the above
`case -- a physical activity -- "-- the case where the duration time is less than predetermined time
`even if it judges that it is large" and acceleration is larger than a specified value -- a physical
`activity —— "—— it is judged that it is small." That is, in this consumed calorie meter, in the case of
`temporary body motions, such as seating from standing up and standing up from a seating
`position, since a physical activity is judged to be "smallness", the error with a actual consumed
`calorie can be made small.
`
`[0033]Although it is desirable for a heart rate in case a physical activity is "size" to be above by
`100-beat/as for the decision criterion (specified value) of the acceleration which judges the size
`of a physical activity, since a heart rate and acceleration cannot be measured directly, it is not
`this limitation. When the physical activity judged by the physical activity decision means is
`"smallness", a consumed calorie is calculated from the proportionality of the heart rate and
`consumed calorie like the regression line A, and when a physical activity is "size", a consumed
`calorie is calculated from the proportionality of the heart rate and consumed calorie like the
`regression line B.
`
`[0O34]By the way, the acceleration sensor in this consumed calorie meter, Since distinction
`about the size of a body activity is just performed and it is not necessary to equip the waist, it
`becomes possible as fonn like the wrist watch shown in (i1f_E;_‘,x_’\«_‘_’_il1f1,§,§,,§_,SO that the arm part of the
`body can be equipped with a consumed calorie meter main part to equip the arm of an operating
`personnel with the band 1. Here, a heart rate is measured in the heart rate primary detecting
`element 2 which consists of an electrode with which the thorax was equipped, and detects
`
`405 of 1568
`
`

`
`acceleration by the acceleration detector 1 in a wristwatch type consumed calorie meter main
`part. It is sent to the wristwatch type consumed calorie meter main part of a wrist with a cable, a
`consumed calorie is calculated by the operation part 3 in a consumed calorie meter main part,
`and the heart rate data measured in the heart rate primary detecting element 2 is displayed on the
`display 4. The heart rate data measured in the heart rate primary detecting element 2 may be
`transmitted to the operation part 3 of a consumed calorie meter main part on radio. If it asks for a
`pulse rate and asks for a heart rate from a pulse rate by forming the optical sensor for detecting
`the pulse group of an operating personnel on a consumed calorie meter main part, etc., and
`detecting a pulse wave, all the functions can be boiled in a wristwatch type consumed calorie
`meter main part, and can be stored, and wearing, carrying, display verification, etc. become
`simpler.
`
`[0035]In (Embodiment 5) and time, although the consumed calorie meter of Embodiment 2 is
`exercising and is large when judging a physical activity from acceleration in a physical activity
`decision means, a physical activity may bejudged to be "smallness". [ of a physical activity ] For
`example, in pedaling movement by a bicycle etc., Although a physical activity is large and heart
`rate change and a consumed calorie are large, On the character of pedaling movement, since
`acceleration was small, the physical activity was judged to be "smallness" and the consumed
`calorie was called for from the heart rate based on the regression line A, the error with a actual
`consumed calorie might have become large.
`
`[0036]the basic constitution of the consumed calorie meter of this embodiment -- Embodiment 2
`—— abbreviated —— the place by which it is the same and is characterized [ the ], Detection of the
`acceleration according to a body activity is difficult, and it is on the point provided with the
`mode selection part for choosing the dedicated mode and this dedicated mode for asking for the
`consumed calorie at the time of movement which cannot perform distinction of physical activity
`size correctly. In this consumed calorie meter, when carrying out pedaling movement of a
`bicycle, dedicated mode is chosen beforehand. If this dedicated mode is chosen, detection of the
`acceleration by the acceleration detector 1 is suspended, in a physical activity decision means, a
`physical activity will be fixed with "size" and a consumed calorie will be computed from the
`proportionality of a heart rate in case a physical activity is "size", and a consumed calorie.
`
`[0037]Dedicated mode will be canceled if pedaling movement is completed. Since it is
`movement currently performed by preference for the compensation for lack of exercise, and loss
`in quantity and adult disease prevention, cycling and mountain climbing can ask for a consumed
`calorie with sufficient accuracy from various movements by having such dedicated modes.

`
`what has a large physical activity, It is effective in the ability to improve the accuracy of
`measurement when asking for a consumed calorie from a heart rate.
`
`[Field of the Invention]This invention relates to the consumed calorie meter with which a human
`body is equipped.
`
`[Description of the Prior Art]Conventionally, the consumed calorie was called for from the
`measuring result of a pedometer, a movement calorie meter, etc. As a number-of-steps detection
`means, as shown in _(:l__lj3’;_i_‘_\_-’y_'_l__l_‘,g__§, the pendulum type sensor consisting of the pendulum 11 which
`was supported pivotally with the axis of rotation 15 and energized by the torsion spring 14, the
`reed switch 13, and the magnet 12 attached to the pendulum 11 in order to add a magnetic field
`to the reed switch 13 is used for the conventional pedometer.
`
`[0003]Movement of the operating personnel which equipped with the pedometer in such a
`pedometer. The pendulum l l sways by (for example, walk), and ON and OFF of the reed switch
`13 is performed by the magnet 12 attached to the pendulum 11, By counting by the counting
`means which does not illustrate the number of times of this ON and OFF, the number of steps of
`the operating personnel was measured, by the number of steps per unit time, the strength of
`movement was presumed and the consumed calorie is calculated from the strength of this
`movement.
`
`[0004]However, the shake of the pedometer accompanying movements (for example, a walk, a
`jogging, etc.) of an operating personnel with a pedometer () [ get blocked and] There is a
`problem that the consumed calorie calculated based on the number of steps measured with the
`pcdomctcr has a large error since one shake of the pendulum 11 by thc operation which is not
`concerned with the grade of the size of a shake of the pendulum 11, but has an operating
`personnel counts as "one step."
`
`[0005]On the other hand, as a movement calorie detection means, as shown in drawing 7, the
`acceleration sensor using piezoelectric devices, such as piezo Ceramics Sub-Division 24, is used
`for the conventional movement calorie meter. In such a movement calorie meter, if an operating
`personnel exercises, power will be added to piezo Ceramics Sub-Division 24 with the weight 23,
`and the voltage produced to piezo Ceramics Sub-Division 24 will be detected via the lead 22.
`
`12
`
`408 of 1568
`
`

`
`Therefore, by detecting change of the acceleration accompanying movement of an operating
`personnel as an analog output of the aforementioned voltage, not only the number of steps but
`detection of the strength of movement can be performed, and a consumed calorie can be
`calculated from this number of steps and the strength of movement. It asks for the number of
`steps at the time of a walk from the pitch of the output voltage from an acceleration sensor, and
`migration length is calculated by the product of a step and the number of steps. Here, it may be
`made for a step to input the actual measurement of the step of the operating personnel measured
`beforehand, and it is step (em) = height (cm)-100 (cm), for example.
`** -- it may calculate from a formula [ like ].
`
`[0006]1n order to ask for a consumed calorie from acceleration, the character in which a
`consumed calorie is proportional to the output voltage from an acceleration sensor as shown in
`used. However, the exercising mode (for example, a hill is gone down [ going up a
`hill, ]) whose movement calorie meter is an important factor in connection with a consumed
`calorie is not taken into consideration. Then, the consumed calorie meter which is not based on
`the exercising mode of an operating personnel, but can measure a consumed calorie is proposed.
`This consumed calorie meter calculates a consumed calorie from a heart rate of an operating
`personnel.
`Usually, character in which human being's oxygen uptake, a heart rate, or a pulse rate is in
`proportionality is used.
`The relation of the heart rate and consumed calorie in V0; / HR (oxygen uptake/heart rate)
`system (Hashimoto et al., the research on the Japanese lowering state and its improvement means
`of the amount of body activities, the National lnstitute of Nutrition report, 32, 53-60, 1983) is
`shown in g$__rg=;._t§_i,r;g__;i. An example is taken by in this V02 / HR system, the proportionality of a
`consumed calorie and a heart rate differing, when physical activities differ, Proportionality of the
`consumed calorie and heart rate in an inactive state is made into the regression line A, and it asks
`for a consumed calorie from a heart rate by making proportionality of the consumed calorie and
`heart rate in an active state into the regression line B. Here, the regression line A is determined
`from the heart rate of a metabolic tumover, basal metabolism, and each resting energy
`expenditure, and the relation of a consumed calorie at the time of sleep, and the regression line B
`is determined from the heart rate at the time of increasing load gradually with variable load
`kinematic devices, such as a bicycle ergometer, and the relation of a consumed calorie. lt is
`supposed that it is the heart rate of the intersection of the regression line A and the regression
`line B a part for abbreviated 90-100-beat/.
`
`[0007]Detection of a heart rate may be computed from the R—R interval of the
`electrocardiographic complex obtained from the electrode stuck on the body surface as shown in
`the usual electrocardiogram, may detect a pulse wave with the optical sensor with which the car,
`and a finger tip part or a wrist was equipped, and may ask for it from the pulse rate. For this
`reason, when asking for a consumed calorie from a heart rate, not only in a walk, a jogging, etc.
`but in operation of a bicycle, a boat, etc., there is a big advantage that Measurement Division is
`possible.
