Abstract: An activity meter includes a body movement detecting unit, a display unit, a target activity amount acquiring unit, an accumulated activity amount calculation unit, an excess activity amount calculation unit, a converted value calculation unit that calculates a converted value representing an excess amount of activity by dividing burned calories corresponding to the excess amount of activity by a unit calorie count, where a standard calorie count of a predetermined food is the unit calorie count, and a display operation control unit that controls a display operation of the display unit such that the display unit displays a measurement result using the converted value.

Abstract: A blood pressure measurement control method for controlling the measurement of a blood pressure according to an oscillometric method has the steps of determining whether to employ a depressurization measurement method or a pressurization measurement method to measure the blood pressure according to a person to be measured, performing a measurement process of the blood pressure in a depressurization process when determined to measure the blood pressure with the depressurization measurement method, performing a measurement process of the blood pressure in a pressurization process when determined to measure the blood pressure with the pressurization measurement method, and outputting the measured blood pressure value.

Abstract: A calibration device is connected to a sphygmomanometer with an air tube and a communication cable. When connection is detected, the calibration device closes a valve of the sphygmomanometer and its valve and applies pressure to the air tube to measure the pressure, and determines the air leakage of the sphygmomanometer based on the pressure change with an air leakage determination unit. The calibration device causes a pressure sensor of the sphygmomanometer to measure the inner pressure, receives the measurement result with the communication I/F, and determines the result of the equipment difference test of the sphygmomanometer based on a difference between the applied pressure and the inner pressure with an equipment difference determination unit. If determined that the equipment difference test is failure, a control signal is output to the sphygmomanometer to calibrate the output value of the pressure sensor in the calibration unit.
