- the setting process and the operation process can be performed by combining the acceleration change of the displacement of the main body part 110 in the A direction and the acceleration change of the displacement of the main body part 110 in the B direction. That is, the setting process and the operation process may be performed by combining the operation of the acceleration switch A by swinging in the A direction and the operation of the acceleration switch B by swinging in the B direction. Still further, the setting process and the operation process may be performed by detecting the number of times of shaking in the A direction and / or the B direction, the shaking interval and the shaking speed, or a combination thereof.
- the pedometer 100 which is the force of the second modification example, the number of times the main body 110 is shaken and the speed at which the main body 110 is shaken can be used without using an operation signal generated by pressing the set switch 117A.
- the setting process may be an operation process. Therefore, the pedometer 100 according to the second modification may not be provided with the set switch 117A.
- either the acceleration switch A or the acceleration switch B may be used as the set switch 117A, and the pedometer 100 according to the second modification may not be provided with the set switch 117A.
- the pedometer 100 is operated in a predetermined direction, the operation is simpler than the operation of the conventional pedometer using the switch. Therefore, a wide range of pedometers can be provided. It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
