  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays an input screen 100 for the user's age, sex, height, and weight as shown in FIG. 6 on the display unit 70 (S110). The user operates the up button 42, the down button 44, and the switch / decision button 46 on the input screen 100 to input age, sex, height, and weight.

  Immediately after the input screen 100 is displayed, the selection mode is set. In the selection mode, the cursor moves downward every time the up button 42 is pressed, and the cursor moves upward every time the up button 44 is pressed. To do. In the input column for the cursor position, numbers are displayed in black and white inversion. By pressing the switch / decision button 46, the mode is switched to the input mode, and the numbers can be input in the input column for the cursor position. In the input mode, each time the up button 42 is pressed, the number in the input field where the cursor is is increased by 1, and every time the down button 44 is pressed, the number in the input field where the cursor is is decreased by 1. However, in a state where the cursor is in the gender input field, “male” and “female” are alternately displayed each time the up button 42 or the down button 44 is pressed. By pressing the switch / decision button 46 in the input mode, the input content is determined and the mode returns to the selection mode. The user operates the up button 42, the down button 44, and the switch / decision button 46 to input age, sex, height, and weight, and then moves the cursor to the position of the “OK” button and presses the switch / decision button 46. When pressed, the entered age, gender, height, and weight are confirmed.

  When the user completes input of age, sex, height, and weight (Y in S112), the processing unit (CPU) 30 sets the user's age, sex, height, and weight according to the input content (stored in the storage unit 50). Then, the basal metabolic rate is calculated (S114).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a target value input screen on the display unit 70 (S116). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the target value input screen 110 is configured to allow selection of “exercise mode” and input of “speed” and “activity amount”. After the user moves the cursor to the selection column of “exercise mode” and presses the switch / decision button 46, for example, every time the user presses the down button 44, “running” → “jogging” → “walking” → “ The display changes in the order of “cycling”. The user can select one of “running”, “jogging”, “walking”, and “cycling” as the exercise to be performed by pressing the switch / decision button 46. In the “speed” input field, standard values of the selected exercise mode are displayed as initial values in conjunction with the selection of the exercise mode. The user moves the cursor to the “speed” input field (unit: “km / h”) and presses the switch / decision button 46, and then operates the up button 42 and the down button 44 to set the target speed to 0. It is possible to input in units of 1 km / h. In addition, the user moves the cursor to the “activity” input field (the unit is “Ex (exercise)”), presses the switch / decision button 46, and then operates the up button 42 and the down button 44 to operate the target. The amount of activity can be input in units of 0.1Ex.

  Instead of the target value of “activity amount”, an input screen for a target value of “calorie consumption (unit: kcal)” may be displayed on the display unit 70. Alternatively, each time the user moves the cursor to the “activity amount” display position and presses the switch / decision button 46, the user presses the up button 42 or the down button 44. It is also possible to allow the user to select input items by alternately displaying them (in conjunction with this, “Ex” and “kcal” are also displayed alternately). Using the relational expression calorie consumption (kcal) = activity amount (Ex) × weight (kg) × 1.05, each time “activity amount” and “calorie consumption” are switched, the numerical value is also changed in conjunction with this. You may do it.

  In addition, a “past target value” button is provided on the input screen 110, and the user moves the cursor to the position of the “past target value” button and presses the switch / decision button 46, whereby the past target value (speed And a target value of activity amount) may be displayed so that any past target value (for example, the previous target value) can be selected.

  The user inputs the target value by operating the up button 42, the down button 44, and the switch / decision button 46, and then moves the cursor to the position of the “OK” button and presses the switch / decision button 46. The target value is confirmed.

  When the input of the target value by the user is completed (Y in S118), the processing unit (CPU) 30 sets the target value (stored in the storage unit 50) according to the input content (S120), and ends the initial setting process.

[Course setting process]
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of the course setting process (the process of S12 of FIG. 4) by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring apparatus 4.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 generates position information of the activity amount measuring device 4 and transmits the position information to the server via the communication unit 80 (S210).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires map information from the server via the communication unit 80 (S212). The map information includes information on the position and inclination of the road, information on the position and identification ID of each weather measurement device 2, and the like.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires meteorological data from the meteorological measurement device 2 and analyzes the current meteorological conditions (atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) (S214). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 may acquire weather data only from the weather measurement device 2 closest to the activity amount measurement device 4 and analyze the current weather conditions. Further, for example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires weather data from all the weather measurement devices 2 within a predetermined range from the activity amount measurement device 4, and analyzes the current weather conditions from the average value of the weather data and the like. You may make it do.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates a distance (target distance) for achieving the target activity amount under the reference weather conditions (S216), and further corrects the target distance according to the current weather conditions ( S218). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 determines the correction coefficient α according to the current temperature, determines the correction coefficient β according to the current humidity, determines the correction coefficient γ according to the current atmospheric pressure, The correction coefficient δ may be determined in accordance with the wind speed, and the target distance may be corrected to α × β × γ × δ times. For example, a mathematical expression corresponding to each of the correspondence relation between the temperature and the correction coefficient α, the correspondence relation between the humidity and the correction coefficient β, the correspondence relation between the atmospheric pressure and the correction coefficient γ, and the correspondence relation between the wind speed and the correction coefficient δ (for example, a polynomial approximation mathematical expression) ) Coefficient values or table data of each correspondence relationship is stored in the storage unit 50 in advance, and the processing unit (CPU) 30 refers to the coefficient values or table data to thereby determine the correction coefficients α, β, γ, δ. It can be determined by calculation.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 selects course candidates that match the corrected target distance based on the map information (S220). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 selects course A indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 9A and course B indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 9B as course candidates.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a course selection screen (S222). Specifically, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays a selection screen including a list of course candidates calculated in step S220. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the course selection screen 120 is configured to be able to select any one of “Course A”, “Course B”, and “Free Course”. The user moves the cursor to “Course A” and presses the switch / decision button 46, so that, for example, a course A route (route from the start point to the end point of the dotted arrow) as shown in FIG. The screen shown is displayed and the course A can be confirmed. Similarly, when the user moves the cursor to “Course B” and presses the switch / decision button 46, for example, the course B route (from the start point to the end point of the dotted arrow as shown in FIG. 9B). A screen showing the route) is displayed, and the course B can be confirmed. If the user presses the switch / decision button 46 on the course A or course B display screen, the screen returns to the course selection screen 120. When the user wants to freely select a route without deciding a course in advance, select “free course”. On the course selection screen 120, check boxes are provided on the right side of “Course A”, “Course B”, and “Free Course”, and the user moves the cursor to one of the check boxes to switch / determine. After the button 46 is pressed, the checked course is selected by moving the cursor to the “OK” button and pressing the switch / decision button 46.

  When the selection of the course by the user is completed (Y in S224), the processing unit (CPU) 30 sets the course selected according to the input content (stored in the storage unit 50) (S225) and ends the course setting process.

  Note that the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires weather data from all the weather measurement devices 2 included in the map information in S214, and replaces the processing of S216 to S220 with the weather conditions at the position of each weather measurement device 2. Therefore, the course candidate calculation and the target distance calculation may be performed simultaneously (overall).

[Activity measurement processing]
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of an activity amount measurement process (the process of S <b> 16 in FIG. 4) performed by the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measurement apparatus 4.

  First, the processing unit (CPU) 30 acquires meteorological data from the latest N weather measuring devices 2 arranged forward along the course (S310). For example, when the course A shown in FIG. 9A is set, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the latest placed along the course A in front of the user 7 (activity amount measuring device 4). Meteorological data is acquired from the five (N = 5 cases) meteorological measuring devices 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2e. Thereby, if the weather measuring devices 2 are arranged along the course A at intervals of about 100 m, the weather conditions up to about 500 m ahead can be known.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the total amount of activity up to the present time of the user in consideration of the current weather conditions (S312). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the user's activity amount per unit time Δt from the output data of the activity amount measurement sensor 90, and according to the current weather conditions, the user's activity amount per unit time Δt. Correct the amount of activity. The current weather conditions are analyzed from, for example, weather data acquired from the weather measurement device 2 (the weather measurement device 2a in the example of FIG. 12) located closest to the activity amount measurement device 4 in S310. Then, each time the unit time Δt elapses from the start of exercise, the processing unit (CPU) 30 adds up the amount of user activity per unit time Δt after correction, thereby calculating the total amount of user activity up to now. calculate.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates a difference between the total amount of activity of the user calculated in S312 and the target activity (S314).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 calculates the remaining distance until the target amount of activity is reached from the difference between the total amount of activity of the user calculated in S314 and the target amount of activity (S316). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 divides the difference between the total amount of activity up to the user's current activity and the target activity amount by the current activity amount of the user per unit time Δt, thereby allowing the user to exercise. Calculate the time and estimate the remaining distance based on the current user's moving speed.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 corrects the remaining distance calculated in S316 according to the current weather conditions ahead of the course (S318). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 30 may include the N most recent weather measurement devices 2 (5 weather measurement devices 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d in the example of FIG. 2e) from the meteorological data obtained from 2e), analyze the current weather conditions ahead of the course and assume that these weather conditions are maintained, or when the user passes the position of each meteorological measuring device 2 The weather condition is predicted and the remaining distance calculated in S316 is corrected.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 displays the corrected remaining distance calculated in SS 318 on the display unit 70. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the processing unit (CPU) 30 performs a target activity distance, an activity amount (activity amount until now), a moving distance, an exercise time, an average speed, an estimated remaining distance, and an estimated remaining amount. A screen 130 including time information is displayed on the display unit 70. By checking the remaining distance and the remaining time, the user can know how much more exercise is to achieve the target amount of activity.

  Then, the processing unit (CPU) 30 determines whether or not the user's activity amount has reached the target activity amount (S322). If the user has reached the target activity amount (Y in S322), it is determined that the user has reached the target activity amount. And the result information is displayed on the display unit 70 (S326). The processing unit (CPU) 30 may notify that the target activity amount has been reached by displaying on the display unit 70, or may notify by sound when the activity amount measuring device 4 includes a speaker. The result information is information such as activity amount, movement distance, exercise time, average speed, calorie consumption, total calorie consumption (= basal metabolic rate + calorie consumption) due to the exercise.

  On the other hand, if the activity amount of the user has not reached the target activity amount (N in S322), the processing unit (CPU) 30 waits for the elapse of the unit time Δt (Y in S324), and performs the processing in S310 to S320. Do it again.

  As described above, according to the activity amount measuring system of the present embodiment, the weather condition is analyzed by using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of distributed weather measuring devices 2. In consideration of the above, it is possible to perform correction calculations such as activity amount, selection of course candidates, remaining distance (remaining time), and the like. In particular, even if the user performs the same exercise, the amount of activity varies greatly depending on the pressure, temperature, and humidity. Therefore, the correction calculation can be accurately performed by considering the pressure, temperature, and humidity.

  Further, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, the target distance that the user should exercise in order to reach the target activity amount using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of distributed weather measurement devices 2 is determined. By selecting a course by performing correction calculation, it is possible to present a suitable course for the user to exercise in accordance with the target activity amount. Thereby, the user can select a course in which the target activity amount becomes constant every day without being influenced by weather conditions, for example.

  Further, according to the activity amount measurement system of the present embodiment, by using the weather data measured by each of the plurality of weather measurement apparatuses 2 that are arranged in a distributed manner, the remaining distance and the remaining distance are considered in consideration of the weather conditions that change in real time. Time can be predicted. In particular, by using the weather data measured by the N weather measuring devices 2 arranged forward along the user's movement path, the weather conditions ahead of the user can be understood, so the prediction accuracy of the remaining distance and remaining time can be improved. Can be increased. Thereby, for example, the user can perform an exercise such that the target activity amount is constant every day without being affected by weather conditions.

  On the other hand, the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring device 4 receives the weather data from the activity amount display device 5 and calculates the sum of the activity amounts up to the present time of the user in consideration of the current weather conditions. (S650).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring apparatus 4 calculates the difference between the total amount of activity of the user and the target activity amount (S652). The remaining distance until reaching the target activity amount is calculated (estimated) from the difference from the amount (S654).

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring device 4 corrects the remaining distance according to the current weather conditions ahead of the course (S656), and displays the information on the remaining distance after the correction as the activity amount display device. (S658).

  The processing unit (CPU) 230 of the activity amount display device 5 receives the corrected remaining distance information from the activity amount measurement device 4 and displays it on the display unit 270 (S612). For example, the processing unit (CPU) 230 displays a screen as illustrated in FIG. 13 on the display unit 70.

  Next, the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring device 4 determines whether the activity amount of the user has reached the target activity amount (S660), and if it has reached (Y of S660), results information Information indicating that the target activity amount has been reached is transmitted to the activity amount display device 5 (S664). When the target activity amount is reached (Y in S614), the processing unit (CPU) 230 of the activity amount display device 5 receives the result information and information indicating that the target activity amount has been reached from the activity amount measurement device 4, The user is notified that the amount of activity has been reached, and the result information is displayed on the display unit 270 (S618).

  On the other hand, if the user's activity amount has not reached the target activity amount (N in S660), the processing unit (CPU) 30 of the activity amount measuring device 4 waits for the unit time Δt to elapse (Y in S662), The process from S650 to S658 is performed once again. When the target activity amount has not been reached (N in S614), the processing unit (CPU) 230 of the activity amount display device 5 performs the processing of S610 and S612 once again.

  The activity amount measurement system of the second embodiment described above also has the same effect as that of the first embodiment.

3. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.

[Modification 1]
For example, performance information related to the amount of activity when the user has exercised in the past is stored, and the processing unit (CPU) 30 (particularly the route candidate selection unit 34) of the activity amount measuring device 4 stores past information together with weather conditions. Course candidates may be selected in consideration of the results. The performance information includes, for example, activity values, heart rate, moving distance, moving speed, measured values of exercise time, weather conditions, target activity, target distance, target speed, etc. when the user has exercised in the past. Information. The route candidate selection unit 34 refers to the performance information, and increases or decreases the correction amount of the next target distance according to, for example, the weather conditions therein, the difference between the target distance and the moving distance, the relationship with the heart rate, and the like. To select course candidates.

  In this way, by using the record information regarding the amount of activity when the user has exercised in the past, an appropriate course according to the physical strength of the user can be presented.

[Modification 2]
For example, as shown in FIG. 20, each weather measurement device 2 may include an air quality sensor 13 in addition to the atmospheric pressure sensor 10, the temperature sensor 11, and the humidity sensor 12. The air quality sensor 13 is a sensor that reacts to fine particles (smoke, sand, pollen, etc.), nitrogen oxides (NO _x ), etc. in the air. The higher the concentration of fine particles and the like present in the air, the lower the oxygen concentration. Therefore, even if the same exercise is performed, the amount of activity increases. Accordingly, by measuring the air quality and including it in the weather conditions, selection of course candidates and correction calculation of the remaining distance (remaining time) can be performed with higher accuracy.

  The present invention includes configurations that are substantially the same as the configurations described in the embodiments (for example, configurations that have the same functions, methods, and results, or configurations that have the same objects and effects). In addition, the invention includes a configuration in which a non-essential part of the configuration described in the embodiment is replaced. In addition, the present invention includes a configuration that exhibits the same operational effects as the configuration described in the embodiment or a configuration that can achieve the same object. Further, the invention includes a configuration in which a known technique is added to the configuration described in the embodiment.
