Abstract: A detection apparatus that detects an exercise history of a user in a swimming pool includes: a plurality of receiving units operable to receive user identifying information for identifying the user from a portable device retained by the user; a recording unit operable to recording receiving unit identifying information for identifying one of the receiving units in association with the user identifying information when the one receiving unit receives the user identifying information; and a activity amount computing unit operable to compute a physical activity amount of the user based on a history of the receiving unit identifying information stored in association with the user identifying information.

Abstract: An electronic locking device is disclosed which, when applied to rental lockers, will allow electronic data to be delivered without causing inconvenience to a user. One who desires to use a locker will approach an input device while in possession of a recording device. The input device will detect the approach of the recording device without coming into contact therewith, and will output data indicating the detection thereof to a management device. The management device will extract the locker IDs of the lockers that are not currently being used, and will display the unused lockers on the input device. When a user inputs the selection of a locker and a password into the input device, the locker ID of the selected locker and the password will be output to the management device. The management device will set the electronic data, i.e., the electronic key, for opening the selected locker, wirelessly output the electronic key to the recording device via the input device, and the selected locker will be unlocked.

Abstract: A portable key apparatus previously stores key identifying information, and outputs the key identifying information to a locker during locking the locker. The locker previously stores locker identifying information, and outputs the locker identifying information to the portable key apparatus during locking the locker. The portable key apparatus stores the locker identifying information received during locking the locker, and the locker stores the key identifying information received during locking the locker. The portable key apparatus outputs the stored locker identifying information and key identifying information to the locker during unlocking the locker. The locker checks the locker identifying information and key identifying information received during unlocking the locker with the key identifying information and locker identifying information stored thereon and decides the adequacy of unlocking of the locker based on the checked result.

Abstract: The present invention is for arousing a sense of rivalry to the user so that the user can exhibit an active will to exercise.
