Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a digital display type pulse meter having a mechanism for setting target set values such as upper and lower limit set values of pulse rate.

(B) Prior art This type of pulse meter not only knows whether the user's pulse rate is within the normal range, but also uses the fact that the pulse rate increases when the user becomes fatigued to detect whether the user is overexerting or not. Therefore, the upper limit and lower limit pulse rate of the user are set in advance before use, and when the measured value of the pulse rate falls outside of the range of these set values. There is a system that has already been proposed by the applicant in Japanese Patent Application No. 56-27924.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The present invention provides a pulse rate monitor that shortens the time required to set target set values such as the upper limit set value and the lower limit set value of the pulse rate, and enables speedy setting operations. This allows for hassle-free settings.

(d) Structure of the Invention The present invention measures the user's pulse rate, displays it on a display, and alerts the user when the measured value is outside the range of predetermined upper and lower target set values. a pulse meter having a means for notifying the user of the above, which when operated causes the display unit to display an approximate target value corresponding to the upper limit target value, and which is operated after setting the final upper limit target value; Accordingly, a target setting switch is provided for calculating an approximate target value corresponding to the lower limit target value by subtracting a predetermined value from the final upper limit target value and displaying the calculated value on the display section; A fine adjustment switch is provided for setting the final upper limit and lower limit target values by finely adjusting the approximate target value corresponding to the value and the approximate target value corresponding to the lower limit target value, respectively.

That is, when setting the upper limit target value and lower limit target value of the pulse rate in order to manage the pulse rate,
First, when you operate the target setting switch once, the approximate target value corresponding to the upper limit target value is displayed on the display, and this approximate target value can be adjusted up or down using fine adjustment switches such as up switch and down switch. Determine the final upper target value.

Next, when you operate the target setting switch again, a predetermined value, for example 10, is subtracted from this final upper limit target value and the value is displayed on the display as the approximate target value corresponding to the lower limit target value, and this is fine-tuned again. The final lower limit target value is determined by adjusting it up or down with the switch.

During use, if the measured pulse rate falls outside the range of the upper and lower target values, the user is notified of this fact.

(e) Embodiment 1 is a pulse meter, which electrically detects the user's pulse pulses detected by the pulse sensor 2 by holding the clip-type pulse sensor 2 on the user's earlobe. This device counts the pulse rate and displays the pulse rate per minute on the display unit 3, and measures the user's pulse rate at rest or detects the user's fatigue state by knowing the pulse rate during exercise such as on a beauty bicycle 4. It is something to recognize.

Furthermore, 15 is a sliding power switch, 1
Reference numeral 6 designates a push key type operation switch group. In this switch group 16, 17 is a pulse setting switch that sets the upper and lower limits of the pulse rate and sequentially calls the upper and lower limit settings. 18 is a pulse setting switch that sets the target time of the stopwatch. At the same time, a time setting switch 19 calls out the set target time, a pacer setting switch 19 is used to set the pacer pitch of the Heser, which sounds at predetermined intervals to notify the user's exercise base, and 20 is a switch 1 for setting these three settings.

This is a full reset switch. For example, set the upper and lower limits of the pulse rate to "120" and "80".
To set the upper limit value, press the pulse setting switch 17, and the upper limit pulse rate indicator 11 will light up to indicate that the upper limit setting value is in the process of being set.
The pulse indicator 10 lights up to indicate that the numeric display content on the three-digit number display 6 is in the process of being set. beats/minute)>
(PA) is displayed (see Figure 3 A), and then by pressing the up switch 20 and the down switch 21, the display on the 3-digit numerical display 6 changes from this approximate target value (PA) to the upper limit setting value (P1). "120"
and set the upper limit setting value (P1).
When the pulse rate setting switch 17 is pressed again, the lower limit pulse rate indicator 12 lights up to indicate that the lower limit setting value (P2) is being set, and the pulse rate indicator 10 also lights up. The light also lights up, and the approximate target value (PB) <for example, 110> is determined by subtracting a predetermined value <for example, 10 (beats/minute)> from the upper limit setting value (P1).
(beats/minute)> is displayed <see Figure 3 C>, and then, by pressing the up switch 20 and the down switch 21, the display on the three-digit numerical display 6 changes from this approximate target value (PB) to the lower limit set value. (P2) to "80", and the lower limit setting value (P2) is set (see FIG. 3D). At this time, if the lower limit set value (P2) is mistakenly set to a value higher than the upper limit set value (P1), such as "125", the error indicator 13 lights up to notify the user of the erroneous operation.

If the start/stop switch 22 is pressed after setting the upper and lower limits of the pulse rate in this way, pulse measurement will start, the usage time from the start will be displayed on the four-digit numerical display 5, and the pulse rate will be stopped. The watch indicator 7 lights up and the pulse rate measurement value (P3) is displayed on the 3-digit numerical display 6.
is displayed, and the pulse indicator 10 flashes in synchronization with this pulse pulse (see Figure 3), and if this measured value (P3) exceeds the upper limit set value (P1), the upper limit pulse rate is determined. indicator 11
It flashes to notify overwork (see Figure 3, E).
On the other hand, this measured value (P3) is the lower limit set value (P2)
If the pulse rate falls below the lower limit, the lower limit pulse rate indicator 12 is made to blink (see FIG. 3, E) to notify that the amount of exercise is insufficient or that the pulse rate is abnormal.

In this way, the upper and lower limit settings of the pulse rate (P1)
When setting (P2), first press the pulse setting switch 17 to set the preset approximate target value < e.g.
100>(PA) is first displayed on the 3-digit numeric display 6, and then the up switch 20 down switch 2
By pressing 1, you can quickly set the upper limit target value (P1) <for example, 120>, and by pressing the pulse setting switch 17 again, the approximate target value (PB ) <For example, 110> is displayed on the 3-digit number display 6, and then the up switch 20 down switch 2
By pressing 1, the lower limit target value (P2) <
For example, 80> can be set, and on the other hand, when pulse measurement has started, the pulse indicator 10 flashes in synchronization with the pulse, indicating that the pulse pulse is being detected normally, and the three-digit numerical display 6
When the measured value (P3) of the pulse rate is between the upper limit setting value (P1) and the lower limit setting value (P2), that is, when it is normal, the first and second oscillating buzzers are activated. 30, 31, it emits a "pitsu, po,..." sound in synchronization with the pulse pulse, and if the measured value (P3) exceeds the upper limit setting value (P1), the upper limit pulse rate indicator 11 flashes. and the first oscillating buzzer 30 emits a continuous sound "beep" to notify the user visually and audibly that the user is overworked, and furthermore, when the measured value (P3) is less than the lower limit setting value (P2), Lower limit pulse rate indicator 12
blinks and the second oscillating buzzer 31 emits a discontinuous sound "Pau..." to visually and audibly notify the user that the amount of exercise is insufficient or that the pulse rate is abnormal.

In this example, the error display when setting the upper limit and lower limit is the lower limit setting value (P2) than the upper limit setting value (P1).
This is done by lighting the error indicator 13 when the value increases, but considering that the lower limit set value (P2) will be smaller than the upper limit set value (P1) to some extent, the lower limit set value (P2) is kept constant from the upper limit set value (P1). The error indicator 13 may be turned on if the lower limit set value (P2) becomes larger than the value obtained by subtracting the value.

(F) Effects of the Invention Therefore, according to the present invention, when setting target set values such as the upper limit set value and lower limit set value of the pulse rate, the approximate target value is first shown on the display by pressing the target setting switch. Since the change from this approximate target value to the target setting value is performed by pressing the up switch or down switch, the "0"
Compared to setting the target setting value by changing the value or maximum value using an up switch or down switch, the time required for setting is significantly reduced, and the setting operation can be performed quickly.
It is possible to obtain a pulse meter that allows the settings to be made without any trouble.
