  • Publication number: 20060155510
    Abstract: An omnidirectional wireless pedometer includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes a vibration sensor, a transmitter control circuit, an oscillating circuit and a transmitting antenna. The vibration sensor detects a vibration signal when a user walks or jogs and transmits the vibration signal to the transmitter control circuit. Then, the vibration signal is transmitted to the oscillating circuit which generates an oscillating signal and forwards the oscillating signal to the transmitting antenna for transmitting out wirelessly. The receiver comprises three receiving antennas respectively arranged in X, Y, and Z directions. The receiving antennas are capable to receive pace signal from different directions and generate a resonance signal. Subsequently, the resonance signal is transmitted to a receiver control circuit for processing, which generates a data signal to be displayed in a displayed unit.
