  • Patent number: 11715071
    Abstract: A wrist terminal includes a communicator, timer, and at least one processor. The communicator receives a beacon ID transmitted from a beacon transmitter installed in a workplace. The timer obtains date-and-time information on a date and time at which the communicator receives the beacon ID. The processor performs a determining process and recording process. In the determining process, the processor determines whether a work status in the workplace is a work start or a work end, based on a state of the wrist terminal when the communicator receives the beacon ID. In the recording process, the processor records, in a storage, log information that includes the date-and-time information obtained by the timer and work status information on the work status determined in the determining process, the date-and-time information and the work status information being associated with each other.

  • 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: 11525927
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a receiver, a processor, and a communication unit. Via the communication unit from an external device, the processor receives altitude information on each of altitudes obtained at intervals of a first period, at intervals of a second period that is longer than the first period, and individually receives altitude information on an altitude obtained not at intervals of the first period. In response to receiving the altitude obtained not at intervals of the first period, the processor performs positioning at the receiving timing. Based on obtainment timings of the altitudes received at intervals of the second period and an obtainment timing of the altitude received individually, the processor correlates the altitudes received at intervals of the second period and the altitude received individually with positioning results of the positioning such that the obtainment timings correspond to positioning timings of the positioning results.
