  • Publication number: 20180249917
    Abstract: A biological information analysis apparatus, a biological information analysis system, and a biological information analysis program, capable of easily calculating an estimated value of the maximum oxygen intake. A biological information analysis apparatus includes an information acquisition portion that acquires biological information of a user, body motion information indicating body motion of the user, and user information regarding the user, a storage unit that stores the acquired biological information, body motion information, and user information, a level determination portion that determines an exercise habit level of the user on the basis of the biological information and the body motion information in a predetermined period, and an estimation unit (estimated value calculation portion) that estimates the maximum oxygen intake of the user on the basis of the exercise habit level and the user information.

  • Patent number: 8767891
    Abstract: A reception signal integrating method includes: calculating, in receiving a satellite signal, when a reception signal of the satellite signal is time-divided at an assumed period obtained by estimating code period time of a spread code of the satellite signal, a coefficient representing a period shift between a true period and the assumed period of the spread code using first portions and second portions having an assumed period different from that of the first portions in the reception signal; and integrating the reception signal using the coefficient.

  • Patent number: 8750348
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for acquiring a satellite signal includes generating a differential code using first, second and third segments of a satellite signal received from a positioning satellite, obtaining a correlation value by performing a correlation using the differential code and a replica of the spreading code, and acquiring the satellite signal using the correlation value. The differential code is generated by performing a differential operation on a spreading code from the positioning satellite.

  • Publication number: 20140097983
    Abstract: An execution method of a position calculating circuit that calculates a position by receiving a satellite signal transmitted from a positioning satellite and that has an externally readable storage section includes: receiving a selection signal for selecting acquired information, which is information acquired from information obtained from the satellite signal, from the outside; selecting the acquired information on the basis of the selection signal; and storing the acquired information in the storage section and outputting a notice signal, which indicates that the acquired information has been obtained, when the acquired information selected from the satellite signal being received is obtained.
