Patent number: 11408970Abstract: This position detection system comprises a mobile station that transmits a beacon signal, a plurality of fixed stations that receive the beacon signal, and a position analysis device that acquires position information for the mobile station by estimating the position of the mobile station from the reception intensities of the beacon signal at each fixed station. The mobile station includes a movement detection unit (acceleration sensor, geomagnetic sensor, etc.) that determines when movement has stopped. While the movement of the mobile station has stopped, the position analysis device stops estimating the position of the mobile station and keeps the position information at a fixed position.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Rohm Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadashi Kobayashi, Atsushi Momota, Tengai Kubo, Hideki Nishiyama

Patent number: 10912510Abstract: A subject performs a sit-to-stand operation while wearing a device (SU) that contains an acceleration sensor (11) on the front of the chest. The present invention derives a muscular strength index representing the muscular strength of a human body by obtaining maximum acceleration value data from a signal expressing the size of an acceleration vector comprising a tri-axial component in detected acceleration, and using the maximum acceleration value data and the muscle mass or body fat mass of the subject. The present invention has the ability to derive a physical activity amount from the acceleration detection results, and on the basis of the activity amount (ACT) during a prescribed activity target period and the muscular strength index at the start and end times of the activity target period, obtains an activity efficiency index that corresponds to changes in the muscular strength index in response to the amount of activity.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignees: Rohm Co., Ltd., The University of TokyoInventors: Hideki Nishiyama, Tadashi Kobayashi, Atsushi Momota, Masafumi Seike, Senshi Fukashiro
