Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a circuit block of a wristwatch type calorie consumption calculating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the clock signal generated by the oscillator 1 is divided into a predetermined frequency by the frequency dividing circuit 2 and output to the control unit (CPU) 3. The key input unit 4 includes a ten-key pad and a plurality of K1 to K7 keys, and outputs operation signals of these keys to the control unit 3. The K1 key is operated when switching operation modes, the K2 key is used to input weight data, the K3 key is used to input age data, the K4 key is used to input gender data, and the K5 key is used to input exercise intensity data. It is a key to be. Further, the K6 key is a key operated when starting or stopping the measurement of the exercise time, and the K7 key obtains the target calorie consumption from the input personal data including the weight, sex, etc. until the target calorie consumption is reached. These keys are operated when the calculation of the exercise time of is executed.

The control unit 3 is a central processing unit that executes a time counting process, a calorie consumption calculating process, an exercise time calculating process and the like in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 5, and stores the processing result in a register of the RAM 6. ,
Time data, calorie consumption data, etc. are output to the display control unit 7, and these data are displayed on the display unit 8 such as a liquid crystal display.
To display.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the RAM 6.
The RAM 6 stores a display register 11 that stores display data to be displayed on the display unit 8, a timekeeping register 12 that stores the current clocked time, and weight, age, and gender data that is input from the key input unit 4. A weight data register 13, an age data register 14, a sex data register 15, and an exercise intensity register 16 that stores exercise intensity data input from the key input unit 4 are provided.
Further, in the RAM 6, a target calorie consumption register 17 in which target calorie consumption data corresponding to the inputted weight and sex data is read out from the ROM 5 and stored, and a time until the target calorie consumption is reached are set, There is provided a timer 18 which is sequentially subtracted with the passage of time. In addition to this, a mode register M for storing a numerical value corresponding to the operation mode and a flag F indicating whether or not the user is exercising are provided. In the mode register M,
"0" is set in the clock mode, and "1" is set in the exercise mode. The flag F is "1" when exercising.
However, in other cases, "0" is set.

Here, the daily target calorie consumption will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a graph showing a guideline of daily exercise amount by weight of a male, and FIG. 4 is a graph showing a guideline of daily exercise amount by a female weight.

In the case of a man, the weight is 60 kg as shown in FIG.
A person's daily exercise amount is 300 Kcal, and the weight is 8
The standard amount of exercise per day for a person of 0 kg is 400 Kcal. In the case of women, as shown in FIG.
The amount of exercise per day is about 240 Kcal, and the amount of exercise for a person weighing 80 kg is about 320 Kcal.

Here, the relationship between the amount of exercise (Kcal), weight, sex, age and exercise intensity will be described. The calories burned by exercise can be expressed by the following equation. Exercise amount (Kcal) = (ΣRTw) WBm R: Exercise intensity (RMR value) Tw: Exercise time (minutes) W: Weight (Kg) Bm: Gender and age-based basal metabolism reference value (Kcal / Kg / min) The above formula From, it is possible to calculate the time required to reach the target exercise amount (target calorie consumption).

In the ROM 5 described above, the daily target calorie consumption data for each sex and weight, the above sex,
The age-based basal metabolism reference value Bm is stored, and the exercise time until reaching the target calorie consumption is calculated from the above equation using these data in the time calculation process described later.

Next, the operation of the embodiment having the above construction will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5 and the explanatory view of the display state of FIG. The control unit 3 is the HA of step S1 of FIG.
When the key operation signal is detected in the LT state,
In step S2, it is determined whether the K1 key is operated.
If it is determined in this determination that the K1 key has been operated, the flow advances to step S3 to invert the value of the mode register M. That is, by operating the K1 key, it is possible to switch from the watch mode to the exercise mode in which the time or the like until the calorie consumption by exercise reaches the target calorie consumption is displayed, or vice versa.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that the K1 key has not been operated, the flow advances to step S4 to determine whether or not the K6 key has been operated. When it is determined in this determination that the K6 key is operated, the process proceeds to step S5 and the value of the flag F is inverted. That is, by operating the K6 key, the value of the flag F is changed from "0" to "1" to start measuring the exercise time, or the value of the flag F is changed from "1" to "0". You can stop the exercise time measurement.

If it is determined in step S4 that the K6 key is not operated, step S4
The process proceeds to step 6 to determine whether or not the K7 key is operated. If it is determined in this determination that the K7 key has been operated, the process proceeds to step S7 and time calculation processing is executed. In this time calculation process, the weight data register 1 of the RAM 6
3, age data register 14, gender data register 15
When the target calorie consumption data corresponding to the data stored in each of the registers is read from the ROM 5 and the exercise is performed with the exercise intensity stored in the exercise intensity data register 16, the calorie consumption due to the exercise becomes the target calorie consumption. Calculate the time to reach. Then, the calculated exercise time is set in the timer 18 of the RAM 6.

If it is determined in step S6 that the K7 key is not operated, K2 to input the weight, age, sex data or exercise intensity data.
This is the case where any key of K4 is operated, and in that case, the other key processing of step S9 is executed.

When the timing is reached in the HALT state of step S1, the timing process of step S10 is executed. In this time counting process, the time data stored in the time counting register 12 is updated, and the updated time data is stored in the time counting register 12.

In the next step S11, it is determined whether or not the flag F is "1", that is, whether or not exercise is being performed. If the flag F = 1 is determined in this determination, it means that the timing of the timing has come during the exercise, and in that case, the value of the timer 18 is subtracted by "1" in step S12, and the subtraction result is obtained. Store in timer 18. And the next step S
At 13, it is determined whether the value of the timer 18 has become "0". When it is determined that the value of the timer 18 is not "0" in this determination, the exercise time is being measured, and in that case, the process proceeds to the display process of step S16, and the target calorie consumption at that time and the remaining exercise time. Is displayed.

On the other hand, it is determined in step S13 that the timer 1
When the value of 8 is determined to be “0”, it means that the calorie consumption by exercise reaches the target calorie consumption.
In step S14, an alarm sound is emitted for a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds) to inform the user that the target exercise time has been reached, and the target calorie consumption is calculated from the personal data and exercise intensity data set at that time. The time until reaching is again calculated, and the calculated time is set in the timer 18. This is because the exercise intensity data may be changed during measurement of the exercise time, and the target exercise time is calculated based on the finally set exercise intensity data.

Then, after the flag F is set to "0" in the next step S15, the display process of step S16 is executed. In this case, since the exercise time has reached the target exercise time, “0” is displayed as the target calorie consumption and “0” is displayed as the target exercise time, and when the alarm sound is notified, the target calorie consumption register 17 of the RAM 6 is displayed. The target calorie consumption data stored in and the target exercise time data set in the timer 18 are displayed again.

Here, an example of the display state in the exercise mode will be described with reference to FIG. After switching to the exercise mode and inputting the weight, age, sex data and exercise intensity data, operating the execution key (K7 key) reads the target daily calorie consumption data corresponding to the weight, age and sex data from the ROM5. The target calorie consumption data is issued and the target calorie consumption register 17 of the RAM 6 is output.
Stored in. Further, the time required for the calorie consumption to reach the target calorie consumption when the exercise of the input exercise intensity is performed is calculated and set in the timer 18 of the RAM 6, and the data is displayed on the display unit 8. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the three segment display bodies 8a are lit up on the display unit 8 to indicate that the exercise intensity is "3", and at the same time, the target calorie consumption is "300 Kcal",
It is displayed that the target exercise time is “49 minutes 55 seconds”.

After the target exercise time is displayed, the user sets K
When you operate the 6 key to start measuring the exercise time,
The display unit 8 displays the remaining target calorie consumption at that time and the remaining exercise time. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6B, the target calorie consumption at that time is “150 Kcal” and the remaining exercise time is “24” as shown in FIG.
Minutes 29 seconds "is displayed. When the exercise time starts to be measured, the segment display body 8a displays the remaining exercise time as a percentage instead of displaying the exercise intensity up to that point, when the target exercise time is 100%.

In this state, when the exercise time of the timer 18 is sequentially subtracted and the value of the timer 18 becomes "0", the target calorie consumption is "0" and the exercise time is "0" as shown in FIG. And the alarm sound that notifies the time up is 1
After being sounded for 0 seconds, the display returns to the initial display state of the exercise mode ((a) in the same figure).

On the other hand, when it is desired to change the exercise intensity while measuring the exercise time, the K6 key is operated to stop the measurement of the exercise time. When the K6 key is operated, the subtraction of the timer 18 is interrupted as shown in FIG. In this state, if you operate the numeric keypad to input new exercise intensity data and then operate the K5 key, the six segment display units 8a will light up and new settings will be made, as shown in FIG. Exercise intensity is displayed, and the calorie consumption when performing exercise of that exercise intensity is “150 calories” of the target calorie consumption.
The time to reach "Kcal" is calculated, and the time "12
"20 minutes" is displayed. In this case, exercise intensity is "3"
Since it has been changed from “6” to “6”, the remaining exercise time is accordingly reduced from “24 minutes and 29 seconds” to “12 minutes and 20 seconds”.

When the K6 key is operated in this state, the exercise time measurement is started again. When exercise is performed for "12 minutes 20 seconds" and the value of the timer 18 becomes "0",
As shown in (f), the target calorie consumption and the remaining exercise time become "0", respectively, and an alarm sound for notifying the timer up for 10 seconds is issued. After that, the display returns to the initial display state of the exercise mode, and the target exercise time “24 minutes 30 seconds” newly calculated based on the changed exercise intensity is displayed.

As described above, in the above embodiment, when personal data such as weight, age, and sex data is input, the ROM
Among the daily target calorie consumption data by weight and sex stored in 5, the target calorie consumption data corresponding to the input personal data was read, and exercise of the input exercise intensity was performed. The time required for the calorie consumption to reach the target calorie consumption is calculated and displayed, so that the user can know how many hours the user needs to exercise before starting the exercise. In addition, this allows the user to select an exercise having an appropriate exercise intensity while confirming the displayed exercise time.
For example, the user can decide whether to perform a weak exercise for a long time or a strong exercise for a short time in order to consume the target calorie while judging the physical condition of the user.

Further, when the measurement of the exercise time is started, the target exercise time is sequentially subtracted and the remaining exercise time is displayed, so that the user can know in real time how many hours the user needs to exercise. .

In the above-described embodiment, the user inputs the exercise intensity from the key input unit 4 in advance. However, for example, a pulse sensor or the like detects a pulse during exercise, and the exercise intensity is calculated from the age and the pulse value. May be calculated. Further, in the above embodiment, the user operates the key when starting or stopping the measurement of the exercise time. However, for example, that the exercise is started by the acceleration sensor or the exercise is interrupted May be detected, and the exercise time measurement may be automatically started or stopped.
