Abstract
A detecting signal detected by a walking sensor carried by a person is amplified and outputted by a first amplifying circuit. When a detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying circuit from among the first and a second amplifying circuit is inputted to an input of a CPU, the CPU determines that the person is running, sets a mask time period or the like for running and carries out a processing of calculating a number of steps based on the detecting signal. When the detecting signal by way of only the first amplifying circuit is not inputted to the input of the CPU and a detecting signal by way of both the first and second amplifying circuits is inputted to an input of the CPU, the CPU determines that the person is walking, sets the mask time period or the like for walking and carries out the processing of calculating the number of steps based on the detecting signal.
