  Hereinafter, embodiments of an exercise support system and a portable electronic device according to the present invention will be described. The embodiments described below do not unduly limit the contents of the present invention described in the claims. In addition, all the configurations described in the embodiments are not necessarily essential configuration requirements of the invention.

1. First, a method of an embodiment of the exercise support system according to the present invention will be described. In the following, as an exercise support device (detection device) used in the exercise support system, for example, a wearable device (list device) as a portable electronic device equipped with a pulse wave sensor or a body motion sensor attached to a user's wrist is exemplified. To explain.

  A wearable device as a portable electronic device used in an exercise support system includes a biological sensor that acquires pulse wave information as user's biological information and a body motion sensor that acquires user's motion information (body motion information). It has been. Furthermore, wearable devices include GPS (Global Positioning System) as an example of a positioning system using a position information satellite called Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that acquires user position information. Is equipped with a satellite positioning unit. The wearable device may be a wearable device that is worn on another part of the user, such as the neck or ankle.

  The biological sensor can acquire pulse wave information such as a pulse rate. For example, an optical sensor is used as the biological sensor. In this case, a method of detecting reflected light or transmitted light of the light irradiated on the living body with the optical sensor can be considered. Since the amount of light absorbed and reflected by the living body varies depending on the blood flow in the blood vessel, the sensor information detected by the optical sensor becomes a signal corresponding to the blood flow, etc. Information about beats can be acquired. However, the biological sensor is not limited to an optical sensor, and other sensors such as an electrocardiograph and an ultrasonic sensor may be used.

  The body motion sensor is a sensor that detects a user's body motion. As the body motion sensor, an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor (gyro sensor), an orientation sensor (geomagnetic sensor), a pressure sensor (atmospheric pressure sensor), or the like may be used, but other sensors may be used.

  GPS is also called a global positioning system, and is a satellite positioning system for measuring the current position on the earth based on a plurality of satellite signals. The GPS has a function of performing positioning calculation using GPS time information and orbit information in a satellite positioning unit to acquire user position information, and a time correction function in a clock function.

2. Exercise Support System Next, the configuration of the exercise support system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an outline of an exercise support system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an external view showing a schematic configuration of a wearable device used in the exercise support system. FIG. 3 is an external view showing an example of wearing a wearable device. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the wearable device. FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the exercise support system, the wearable device, and the information processing apparatus.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a wearable device 200 provided with a pulse wave sensor or a GPS as a biological sensor (photoelectric sensor), and information processing capable of data communication with the wearable device 200. An information processing apparatus 300 as an example of an apparatus, and a server 400 as another example of an information processing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus 300 via a network NE are included.

  A satellite positioning unit 160 (see FIG. 5) as a global navigation satellite system provided in the wearable device 200 receives a radio wave (satellite signal) from the GPS satellite 8 to correct the internal time, and performs a positioning calculation. It has a function to go and acquire position information.

  The GPS satellite 8 is an example of a position information satellite that orbits a predetermined orbit over the earth. The GPS satellite 8 transmits a high-frequency radio wave on which a navigation message is superimposed, for example, a radio wave having a frequency of 1.57542 GHz (L1 wave) to the ground. In the following description, a radio wave of, for example, 1.57542 GHz on which a navigation message is superimposed is referred to as a satellite signal. The satellite signal is a right-handed circularly polarized wave.

  Currently, there are a plurality of GPS satellites 8 (only four are shown in FIG. 1). In order to identify which GPS satellite 8 the satellite signal is transmitted from, each GPS satellite 8 superimposes a unique pattern of 1023 chips (1 ms period) called a C / A code (Coarse / Acquisition Code) on the satellite signal. In the C / A code, each chip is either +1 or -1, and looks like a random pattern. Therefore, by correlating the satellite signal and the pattern of each C / A code, the C / A code superimposed on the satellite signal can be detected. In this way, it is possible to obtain a satellite number that identifies from which GPS satellite 8 the satellite signal is transmitted.

  The GPS satellite 8 is equipped with an atomic clock. The satellite signal includes extremely accurate GPS time information measured by an atomic clock. A slight time error of the atomic clock mounted on each GPS satellite 8 is measured by the control segment on the ground. The satellite signal also includes a time correction parameter for correcting the time error. The wearable device 200 receives a satellite signal (radio wave) transmitted from one GPS satellite 8 and uses the GPS time information, which is the time information of the GPS satellite 8 included therein, and the time correction parameter to provide time information. Can be obtained. The satellite signal includes ephemeris (precision satellite orbit information) indicating the position of the GPS satellite 8 in the orbit and almanac.

  Here, the ephemeris (precision satellite orbit information) is a function of time that expresses the position of one satellite with high accuracy, and has more parameters for representing the orbit than almanac, so the accuracy of the orbit is high. Acquisition takes approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. Almanac also shows the approximate position of all satellites as a function of time. Acquisition takes 10 minutes or more.

  Wearable device 200 can perform positioning calculation using GPS time information and orbit information such as ephemeris (precise satellite orbit information) and almanac. The positioning calculation is performed on the assumption that a certain amount of error is included in the internal time of wearable device 200. That is, in addition to the x, y, and z parameters for specifying the three-dimensional position of wearable device 200, the time error is also an unknown. Therefore, the wearable device 200 receives, for example, satellite signals (radio waves) transmitted from three or more GPS satellites 8 and performs positioning calculation using GPS time information and orbit information included therein, The location information of the current location can be acquired.

  The information processing apparatus 300 can be configured by, for example, a smartphone or a tablet-type terminal device. The information processing apparatus 300 is a short-range wireless communication or wired communication (not shown) that can exemplify, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication with a wearable device 200 using a pulse wave sensor as a biological sensor that is a photoelectric sensor. ) Etc.

  Note that the wearable device 200 and the information processing device 300 in this embodiment have a Bluetooth function, and the information processing device 300 and the wearable device 200 are connected by Bluetooth communication. In Bluetooth communication, the 2.4 GHz band is divided into a plurality of frequency channels, and wireless communication between Bluetooth-equipped devices having a radius of about 10 to 100 m can be performed while performing frequency hopping that randomly changes the frequency to be used. The wearable device 200 and the information processing device 300 can be preferably connected by Bluetooth communication suitable for mobile communication as simple digital wireless communication with less directivity.

  In addition, the Bluetooth communication of the present embodiment applies communication by Bluetooth Low Energy (also referred to as Bluetooth 4.0). Bluetooth Low Energy (hereinafter referred to as BLE) is a standard for short-range wireless communication using 2.4 GHz band radio, and power saving is important. In BLE, communication is performed between the host side and the device side using a profile called GATT (Generic ATTribute). By performing such communication using BLE, it is possible to significantly save power compared to the conventional version, and it is possible to extend the usable time of the wearable device.

  The information processing apparatus 300 can be connected to a server 400 such as a PC (Personal Computer) or a server system via a network NE. The network NE here can use various networks NE such as WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), and short-range wireless communication. In this case, the server 400 is realized as a processing storage unit that receives and stores pulse wave information and body motion information measured by the wearable device 200 from the information processing apparatus 300 via the network NE.

  Note that the wearable device 200 may be modified such that the information processing device 300 is omitted and the wearable device 200 and the server 400 are directly connected. In this case, wearable device 200 has a function of processing measurement information included in information processing device 300 and a function of transmitting measurement information to server 400 and receiving information from server 400. However, in the exercise support system 100, the wearable device 200 only needs to be able to communicate with the information processing device 300, and may not be directly connected to the network NE. With such a configuration, the configuration of the wearable device 200 can be simplified.

It is also possible to become. Therefore, if a request for processing performance or the like is satisfied, the information processing apparatus 300 can be the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment.

  Further, the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment is not limited to that realized by a single device. For example, the exercise support system 100 may include two or more of the wearable device 200, the information processing device 300, and the server 400. In this case, the process executed by the exercise support system 100 may be executed by any one device, or may be distributed by a plurality of devices. Moreover, it is not prevented that the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment includes devices different from the wearable device 200, the information processing device 300, and the server 400.

  Furthermore, when the improvement of terminal performance or the usage pattern is taken into consideration, the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment can be realized by the wearable device 200.

  Moreover, the process of each part of the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment can be realized by a program. That is, the method of the present embodiment determines the sun or shade at each position on the user's travel route based on the power generation amount of the solar cell 70 (see FIG. 4) provided in the wearable device 200, and the determination result This is a method including generation of route information in which the information on the sun and the shade is associated with the map information. Specifically, the method of the present embodiment measures the position information of the user in the wearable device 200 and the amount of power generated by the solar cell 70, and information on the sun or shade determined based on the acquired power generation amount, Applying to a program that causes a computer to execute processing including a procedure for generating route information that associates information on the sun or shade, location information, and map information from map information acquired from the server 400 and the like, and displaying the route information it can.

  In addition, the exercise support system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a memory that stores information (for example, a program and various data), and a processor that operates based on the information stored in the memory. In the processor, for example, the function of each unit may be realized by individual hardware, or the function of each unit may be realized by integrated hardware. The processor may be, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). However, the processor is not limited to the CPU, and various processors such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) can be used. The processor may be an ASIC hardware circuit. The memory may be a semiconductor memory such as SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) or DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), a register, or a magnetic storage device such as a hard disk device. Alternatively, an optical storage device such as an optical disk device may be used. For example, the memory stores instructions readable by a computer, and the functions of each part of the exercise support system 100 are realized by executing the instructions by the processor. The instruction here may be an instruction constituting a program or an instruction for instructing an operation to the hardware circuit of the processor.

If it is determined in step S211 that the power generation amount of the solar cell 70 is higher than a preset threshold value (step S211: Yes), the process control unit 432 determines that the sun is in the sun (step S213). When it is determined that the power generation amount is lower than a preset threshold value (step S211: No), it is determined as shade (step S215). Thus, if the sunshine and shade are determined based on a predetermined threshold value, the sunshine and shade can be reliably determined.

Even in places where trees and trees are overgrown, you can get accurate information about the sun and shade.

  Further, according to the wearable device 2000, a route information that associates the sun or shade, position information, and map information is generated from the measurement in the route that the user actually traveled, and the route information is displayed on the display unit 50. These processes can be performed collectively with a single device.

  By using such wearable device 2000, the user can consider the direction of the sun (the direction of movement) and the ratio of the shade according to the route information associated with the sun or shade, the position information, and the map information. Travel routes that can be avoided as much as possible can be selected.
