  • Publication number: 20240247949
    Abstract: A measurement device includes: an accelerometer; a storage; and at least one processor. In accordance with instructions stored in the storage, the processor acquires data of an acceleration waveform during walking or running of a user from the accelerometer, identifies a time width between a first timing and a second timing based on the acceleration waveform, and counts steps based on the acceleration waveform. The acceleration waveform changes from a negative value to a positive value at the first timing. The acceleration waveform changes from a positive value to a negative value at the second timing. When a predetermined condition is satisfied in counting the steps, the processor counts the acceleration waveform whose time width is greater than a predetermined threshold as two steps and count the acceleration waveform whose time width is smaller than the predetermined threshold as one step.

  • Publication number: 20240178333
    Abstract: A solar panel is provided on a visible side of a display panel and includes a transmissive area, a power generator and an anti-reflector. The transmissive area transmits light. The power generator generates electric power from light. The anti-reflector is provided on a display-panel-facing surface of the power generator to prevent reflection of light on the power generator. The display-panel-facing surface of the power generator faces the display panel. The light, the reflection of which is prevented by the anti-reflector, is among light having passed through the transmissive area and been reflected by the display panel.
