A gait posture meter evaluates a gait posture of a measurement subject, and includes an accelerometer affixed to a centerline of a measurement subject's waist area, an evaluation unit that repeatedly finds an evaluation amount quantitatively expressing a gait posture of the measurement subject based on an output of the accelerometer in each of predetermined unit periods within a predetermined continuous walking period of no greater than ten minutes, and a display processing unit that displays the repeatedly-found evaluation amounts in time series in the display screen.

Gait posture meter and program

An electric toothbrush includes an inner case, made up of an inner case main body and a motor holder, mounted with various components including a motor; an outer case which interiorly accommodates the inner case and which acts as a portion the user grips with hand when brushing teeth; an eccentric shaft, configured by a shaft main body and an eccentric member, which center of gravity is arranged at a position shifted from a shaft center and which rotates by a drive force of the motor; and a vibration transmitting component for transmitting the vibration generated with the rotation of the eccentric shaft to a brush portion; where the vibration transmitting component is positioned with respect to the outer case by point contacting the inner wall surface of the outer case at a plurality of locations.

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.

Body movement amount measuring apparatus

An activity meter includes an activity amount acquisition unit that acquires an amount of physical activity of a user, an activity age acquisition unit that acquires an activity age representing a standard age of a person who does a same amount of activity as the activity amount acquired in a unit period, using body information and a basal metabolic rate of the user, and an output processing unit that outputs information relating to the acquired activity age.

Activity meter

A pedometer includes an activity amount acquisition unit that acquires an activity amount of a user, an index acquisition unit that acquires an index relating to the activity amount, and an index output unit that outputs the acquired index. The index acquisition unit includes an activity age acquisition unit that acquires an activity age represented by a standard age of a person who does the same amount of activity as the activity amount acquired in a unit period, using body information of the user, and acquires an index enabling the active age to reach a target activity age, based on the acquired activity amount.

An electric toothbrush capable of suppressing loss of vibration energy while suppressing the vibration of the portion a user grips with hand is provided. In an electric toothbrush including an inner case, made up of an inner case main body and a motor holder, mounted with various components including a motor; an outer case which interiorly accommodates the inner case and which acts as a portion the user grips with hand when brushing teeth; an eccentric shaft, configured by a shaft main body and an eccentric member, which center of gravity is arranged at a position shifted from a shaft center and which rotates by a drive force of the motor; and a vibration transmitting component for transmitting the vibration generated with the rotation of the eccentric shaft to a brush portion; where the vibration transmitting component is positioned with respect to the outer case by point contacting the inner wall surface of the outer case at a plurality of locations.

A body motion measurement device capable of detecting a body motion balance without installing a pressure sensor is provided. The body motion measurement device includes an acceleration detection unit for detecting a change in acceleration by walking, a calculation unit for detecting a walking balance from the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration detection unit, and a display unit for performing an output based on the detected walking balance. The calculation unit for detecting the walking balance executes step and step of recognizing one step unit of walking from the acceleration signal and acquiring PPodd, PPeven, Todd, and Teven, which are the foot information, and steps of detecting the walking balance based on the foot information.

Body motion balance detection device, body motion balance detection program, body motion balance detection method, and body motion balance diagnosis method

An electric toothbrush includes a driving source; a vibrating member having a brush; a transmission mechanism which converts an output of the driving source into vibration of the vibrating member; and a control unit that controls the output of the driving source. The vibrating member has a first resonance point in which the brush resonates in a first direction, and a second resonance point in which the brush resonates in a second direction; and the control unit has a first operation mode which controls the output of the driving source so that a resonance in the first direction is generated, and a second operation mode which controls the output of the driving source so that a resonance in the second direction is generated.
