A traveling control method, medium, and apparatus for autonomous navigation. The traveling control method of controlling an autonomous navigation machine, having at least on the right and left sides thereof at least first and second receivers that receive a radio signal transmitted from a transmitter disposed at a specific position in a traveling area, the method includes allowing at least one of the first and second receivers to receive the radio signal, recognizing a command included in the received radio signal, acquiring data indicating a size of a recognizable area reached by the radio signal and a position of the transmitter while the autonomous navigation machine moves along the border of the recognizable area, and executing the recognized command in the recognizable area.

The present invention relates to a mobile device capable of performing biomedical signal measurement and a health care method using the same. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile device capable of efficiently performing health care functions for a user by checking a user's state of health using a handheld mobile device mounted with a biomedical signal measurement module, which can be used both as a mobile device and in measuring the emotional state and physical condition of a user if necessary, and a health care method using the same. In order to achieve the above object, the mobile device of the present invention comprises a biomedical signal measurement module for detecting biomedical signals from a user's body, classifying the detected biomedical signals by respective signals and outputting the classified signals; and a health care module for analyzing a user's emotional state and physical condition based on the biomedical signals input from the biomedical signal measurement module and user's physical information.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for inducing emotions. A primary object of the present invention is to accurately induce an emotion desired by a user by feedbacking biosignals from the user and inducing a desired emotion in accordance with the feedback biosignals. The object of the invention can be achieved by allowing the user to select the desired emotion, outputting physical signals for stimulating the user's body based on an emotion induction protocol capable of inducing the selected emotion, extracting bioparameters from the biosignals detected from the user's body before and after the output of the physical signals for stimulating the user's body, comparing increase/decrease patterns of the extracted respective bioparameters with increase/decrease patterns of bioparameter change models for the emotional state desired by the user, and controlling the emotion induction protocol based on comparative results.

A measuring device for use in measuring calorie consumption includes a pulse input unit which detects a first heart rate of the user at a first point in an exercise period and a second heart rate of the user at a second point of the exercise period other than the first point, the pulse input unit not detecting a third heart rate between the first and second heart rates; and a controller which receives the detected first and second heart rates and calculates calories consumed using the detected first heart rate, the detected second heart rate, an at rest heart rate of the user, and one or more of an age of the user, gender of the user, weight of the user, height of the user, and an at rest heart rate of the user. The measuring device is usable in a portable device, such as a portable digital audio and/or video reproducing apparatus.
