  • Patent number: 11989812
    Abstract: An information processing device including a memory that stores a program; and a processor that executes the program. The processor is configured to acquire, from exercise data representing an exercise state of a subject, exercise parameter information including a plurality of parameters that represent the exercise state of the subject and have a correlation with each other. When an animation representing a motion of the subject based on the acquired exercise parameter information is displayed and then an operation for changing a value of a first parameter of the plurality of parameters is received, the processor generates an animation reflecting at least the first parameter for which the value is changed and a second parameter of the plurality of parameters, a value of the second parameter being changed in conjunction with the value of the first parameter.

  • Patent number: 11653858
    Abstract: A running analysis device includes a processor and a memory storing a program. By executing the program, the processor performs obtainment, setting, and estimation processes. By the obtainment process, first data on an acceleration in an up direction perpendicular to a moving direction of a subject and second data on an acceleration in a direction opposite to the moving direction are obtained from a motion sensor attached to the subject's head or neck and including an acceleration sensor, the first and second data being detected by the acceleration sensor while the subject is running. By the setting process, a candidate time range including a candidate timing for a ground-contacting timing when a foot of the subject contacts the ground is set based on the first data. By the estimation process, the ground-contacting timing is estimated in the candidate time range, based on a timing when the second data is minimum.

  • Patent number: 11481947
    Abstract: When one of an acquired plurality of parameters that represents an exercise state of a subject changes or is assumed to change, a value of another parameter that changes in conjunction with that change is estimated. A parameter acquirer acquires, as indexes representing the exercise state of the subject, a value of a first parameter, a value of a second parameter that is an index different from and having a correlation with the first parameter, and another first parameter that is the first parameter having a value that differs from the acquired value of the first parameter. A parameter estimator estimates the value of the second parameter that corresponds to the another first parameter in accordance with a model generated based on sets of a value of a third parameter as an input of the model and a fourth parameter as an output of the model.
