Abstract
To be able to measure a step number without carrying out an operation processing for selecting a walking sensor in a pedometer using a plurality of walking sensors having sensitivity axes different from each other. OR means converts walking signals inputted in parallel from walking detecting circuits into a synthesized walking signal. CPU calculates the step number by detecting the walking signal inputted to an input port. At this occasion, in detecting the walking signal, CPU alternately carries out a detecting operation of detecting the walking signal and a mask operation which does not detect walking at mask time immediately thereafter at each time of detecting each walking signal.
