A height correction device measures height information on the reference position of the heart and height information on the wrist to which a blood pressure measurement device is attached using communication technology when the body of a subject rotates or moves at the position where the measurement device is attached during the measurement period including the sleep period, subjects the obtained blood pressure measurement values to height correction using height information, and approximates the obtained blood pressure measurement values to blood pressure measurement values measured at the reference position of the heart, to thereby obtain highly accurate measurement values.

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

A gait posture meter that evaluates a gait posture of a measurement subject includes an accelerometer affixed to a centerline of the measurement subject's waist area and a computation unit. The computation unit calculates a Z feature amount and an X feature amount indicating a degree of a difference between up-down and front-rear axis direction accelerations of the waist area in a left leg reference period and up-down and front-rear axis direction accelerations of the waist area in a right leg reference period using a timewise change waveform in three axis accelerations outputted by the accelerometer, and calculates a Y feature amount indicating a degree of a difference between a displacement of a left-right axis direction trajectory of the waist area in the left leg reference period and a displacement of the left-right axis direction trajectory of the waist area in the right leg reference period by finding a second-level integration of the left-right axis acceleration outputted by the accelerometer.

An operation information measurement apparatus includes: a detection unit that detects information corresponding to a motion of a user; an activity amount measurement unit that measures an activity amount of the user based on the information detected by the detection unit; an action identification unit that identifies an action of the user based on the information detected by the detection unit; and a transfer unit that transfers pattern information relating to a pattern of the action of the user identified by the action identification unit and the activity amount of the user measured by the activity amount measurement unit to a game control unit that controls a parameter of an electronic game based on the activity amount and the pattern information.

Operation information measurement apparatus, game control program, operation information measurement program

An operation information measurement apparatus having a detection unit for detecting information corresponding to a motion of a user includes: an operation information measurement unit that measures operation information of the user based on the information detected by the detection unit; a communication unit for performing near-field wireless communication with another operation information measurement apparatus; a determination unit that, based on a communication record of the communication unit, determines an interaction period in which the user and another user were active at the same location; and a transfer unit that transfers information relating to the interaction period determined by the determination unit to a game control unit that controls a parameter of an electronic game according to at least whether or not the interaction period exists.

A body composition monitor of the present invention includes means for inputting a reference value of a body composition component, means for inputting a measurement value of the body composition component, body composition comparison means for comparing the reference value and the measurement value so as to determine a body composition component change amount of the measurement value relative to the reference value, display means provided with a plurality of stages for displaying one of the stages corresponding to the body composition component change amount, and stage determination means provided with a plurality of determination widths respectively corresponding to the plurality of stages for determining one of the stages corresponding to the body composition component change amount with using the plurality of determination widths, wherein the plurality of determination widths are not identical to each other.

Body composition monitor determining a degree of change relative to a past body composition value wherein the favorable stage on the display is obtained even with a slight change at the start of dieting, so that a motivation level of the user is increased

A body composition monitor of the present invention includes means for measuring a body composition, means for storing a measured body composition value, and body composition comparison means for comparing the measured body composition value and a stored body composition value, in which the body composition monitor further includes means for inputting a body weight value, means for storing an inputted body weight, body weight comparison means for comparing the inputted body weight and stored body weight, body composition change determination means for determining a change degree of the body composition value with using a comparison result of the body composition comparison means and a comparison result of the body weight comparison means, and display means for displaying a determination result determined by the body composition change determination means.

Body composition monitor that corrects a body composition evaluation by comparing it with a user's change in weight reading to cancel errors caused by dryness of hands and way of gripping
