  • Publication number: 20240049989
    Abstract: In a gait evaluation system, qualitative measurement value acquirers acquire at least measurement values of a stride length and a cadence as qualitative parameters indicating a walking form, measured by a measurement device worn by a subject. A qualitative result determination unit determines an evaluation result regarding a walking form using, as a certain evaluation model, an evaluation formula set such that a weight is added at least to the measurement value of the stride length. The measurement value of the stride length is a ratio of an average stride length to the height of the subject measured.

  • Publication number: 20240013580
    Abstract: A position acquirer acquires position information of a runner running with a certain time set to the starting point of a running time. An environment acquirer acquires environment information indicating running environment of the runner. An information storage unit stores acquired position information together with information on the acquisition date and time. An adjustment unit adjusts, based on the environment information, a running time or distance calculated with the position information such as to correct a difference in the running load due to running environment that may occur between the runner and another runner running with the same certain time set to the starting point of a running time. An output unit displays a result of comparison between the adjusted running time or distance and adjusted running time or distance of another runner running with the same certain time set to the starting point of a running time.

  • Publication number: 20230157606
    Abstract: In a physical strength evaluation system, a reference storage stores a walking heart rate reference in which a correspondence relationship of a standard value of a relative heart rate with respect to a walking speed is defined for every gender and every age, a speed acquisition unit acquires a measured value of a walking speed of a subject, a heart rate acquisition unit acquires a measured value of the relative heart rate of the subject. A standard value derivation unit derives the standard value of the relative heart rate corresponding to the measured value of the walking speed that has been acquired, based on the walking heart rate reference. A level determination unit determines an evaluation value of a physical strength level of the subject, based on a difference between the measured value of the relative heart rate and the standard value of the relative heart rate.

  • Publication number: 20230098294
    Abstract: Provided is a display control method for a display control device including a processor and a storage. The method includes generating first display data for a display to display user marks at intervals so as to be added one by one as a time elapses from a timing. The intervals each correspond to a user's step length of a user obtained based on measured data on running or walking of the user. The user marks each represent a position where a foot of the user lands by one step. The method further includes generating second display data for the display to display reference marks at intervals so as to be added one by one as the time elapses. The intervals each correspond to a predetermined reference step length. The reference marks each represent a position where a reference foot lands by one step.

  • Patent number: 10422809
    Abstract: A wristwatch includes a storing unit that stores relational data for predetermined user classifications, such as gender and body height, indicating a relationship between a traveling pitch, which is the number of steps taken by a user per predetermined amount of time, and a traveling speed which is a running speed or a walking speed. A correcting unit corrects the stored relational data based on a set of a measured traveling pitch and a measured traveling speed. A speed calculating unit calculates a traveling speed of the user from a measured traveling pitch of the user based on the stored relational data that correspond to a user classification input by the user and that has been corrected.
