Abstract
A pedometer determines that the user does not wear the pedometer when the current number of steps is not more than a prescribed set value, not to employ the data of the current number of steps on the day the user does not wear the pedometer for calculating an average number of steps. If the current number of steps is in excess of the set value, the pedometer determines that the user wears the pedometer for adding the current number of steps to the total number of steps, adding 1 to the number of days and dividing the total number of steps by the number of days for calculating an average number of steps per day. Consequently, a pedometer having a function of displaying the average number of steps per day, which can not only maintain correctness of the average number of steps but also keep the user interested in exercise even if the user forgets wearing the pedometer, can be provided.
