First, the flow of activity amount presentation processing for a user who uses the activity meter 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, the mobile terminal 20A accepts input of route information such as a departure point, an arrival point, and route conditions in the operation unit 204 (step S101). When receiving the input of the route information, the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20A notifies the server 30 via the communication unit 201 of a route request instruction including the received route information.

  When the route generation unit 321 included in the control unit 302 of the server 30 acquires the route request instruction, the route generation unit 321 generates a walking route according to the route information included in the acquired route request instruction (step S102). The route generation unit 321 transmits map information indicating a map including the generated walking route to the mobile terminal 20A via the communication unit 301.

  When acquiring the map information from the server 30, the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20A displays the map indicated by the acquired map information on the display unit 206, thereby presenting the user's desired walking route to the user of the mobile terminal 20A. (Step S103). In addition, the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20A notifies the activity meter 10 of a measurement start instruction to start measuring the activity amount of the user.

  20 A of portable terminals acquire the active mass auxiliary information which shows a user's present position on a walking route in the auxiliary information acquisition part 202. FIG.

  When the measurement start instruction is acquired, the sensor output analysis unit 141 and the activity amount measurement unit 142 included in the control unit 104 of the activity meter 10 start measuring the activity amount related to the user's walking (step S104). The transfer data generation unit 143 generates transfer data every time a predetermined period elapses, and transmits the generated transfer data to the mobile terminal 20A as needed via the communication unit 103.

  The control unit 203 of the portable terminal 20A displays the activity amount indicated by the activity amount information included in the received transfer data on the display unit 206 every time the transfer data is received (step S105). The mobile terminal 20 </ b> A transmits the acquired transfer data and the activity amount auxiliary information acquired by the auxiliary information acquisition unit 202 to the server 30 via the communication unit 201.

  The activity amount management unit 322 of the control unit 302 included in the server 30 temporarily stores the activity amount information and the activity amount auxiliary information indicated by the received transfer data in the storage unit 303 (step S106).

  Further, the control unit 302 determines whether the user has arrived at the arrival point based on the current position of the user indicated by the received activity amount auxiliary information (step S107). For example, the control unit 302 compares the latitude and longitude values of the point set as the arrival point with the latitude and longitude values included in the activity amount auxiliary information to determine whether or not the user has arrived at the arrival point. Can be determined.

  If it is determined that the user has not arrived at the arrival point (NO in step S107), server 30 executes the process in step S106 again. In other words, the server 30 repeats the processes of steps S106 to S107 until the control unit 302 determines that the user has arrived at the arrival point (YES in step S107).

  If it is determined that the user has arrived at the arrival point (YES in step S107), the control unit 302 of the server 30 issues a stop instruction to stop measuring the activity amount of the user in the activity meter 10 via the mobile terminal 20A. Send to a total of 10. When receiving the stop instruction, the activity meter 10 stops measuring the activity amount, and the mobile terminal 20A stops acquiring the activity amount auxiliary information.

  In addition, the activity amount management unit 322 of the control unit 302 associates the activity amount information and the activity amount auxiliary information acquired before the user arrives at the arrival point from the departure point with the time information indicating the acquired time. The amount management table is recorded in the storage unit 303 (step S108). At this time, the activity amount management unit 322 displays the route information such as the route condition input in step S101, the user information of the mobile terminal 20A, and the environment information such as the weather at the time of walking in the activity amount management table. Further record in association.

  In the present embodiment, when the user deviates from the walking route, the activity amount managing unit 322 does not have to record the activity amount while walking along the deviating route. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the amount of activity in the route other than the walking route from being recorded as the amount of activity when the user of the mobile terminal 20A walks along the walking route generated in the route generation unit 321.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the portable terminal 20A has been described by taking as an example a configuration in which the transfer data and activity amount auxiliary information are periodically transmitted to the server 30 at predetermined intervals. It is not limited to.

  For example, the portable terminal 20A temporarily stores the transfer data and activity amount auxiliary information in the storage unit 205, and after walking is completed, the transfer data and activity amount auxiliary information stored in the storage unit 205 are collectively stored in the server. 30 may be transmitted. According to this configuration, even when the mobile terminal 20A walks along a walking route in which the communication state between the mobile terminal 20A and the server 30 is poor (cannot communicate), for example, the walking The amount of activity related to can be provided to the server 30.

(Activity amount presentation processing for users who are not using an activity meter)
Next, the flow of activity amount presentation processing for a user who does not use the activity meter 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, first, the mobile terminal 20B receives input of route information (step S201). When receiving the input of route information, the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20B notifies the server 30 of a route request instruction including the received route information via the communication unit 201.

  When acquiring the route request instruction, the route generation unit 321 included in the control unit 302 of the server 30 generates a walking route according to the route information included in the acquired route request instruction (step S202). The route generation unit 321 transmits map information indicating a map including the generated walking route to the mobile terminal 20B via the communication unit 301.

  The activity amount extraction unit 323 of the control unit included in the server 30 is the same route information as the route information included in the route request instruction received in step S201 among the plurality of activity amount management tables stored in the storage unit 303. The activity amount management table including the user information similar to the user information of the user of the mobile terminal 20B is read (step S203).

  Here, for example, when the height of the user of the mobile terminal 20B is 170 cm, the activity amount extraction unit 323 has a height indicated by the user information registered in the activity amount management table such as 165 cm to 174 cm within a predetermined range. In some cases, it may be determined that the user information is similar.

  When acquiring the map information from the server 30, the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20B displays the map indicated by the acquired map information on the display unit 206, thereby presenting the user's desired walking route to the user of the mobile terminal 20B. (Step S204).

  The mobile terminal 20B acquires activity amount auxiliary information indicating the current position of the user on the walking route in the auxiliary information acquisition unit 202 every time a predetermined period (for example, 1 second, 1 minute, etc.) elapses. (Step S205). The portable terminal 20B transmits the activity amount auxiliary information acquired by the auxiliary information acquisition unit 202 to the server 30 via the communication unit 201 every time the activity amount auxiliary information is acquired.

  The activity amount extraction unit 323 of the control unit 302 included in the server 30 displays the activity amount information associated with the activity amount auxiliary information indicating substantially the same position as the current position of the user indicated by the activity amount auxiliary information acquired from the mobile terminal 20B. Then, it is extracted from the activity amount management table read in step S203 (step S206). The activity amount extraction unit 323 transmits the activity amount information extracted from the activity amount management table to the mobile terminal 20B via the communication unit 301.

  The control unit 203 of the portable terminal 20B displays the activity amount indicated by the received activity amount information on the display unit 206 (step S207).

  In addition, when the control unit 302 included in the server 30 transmits the extracted activity amount information to the mobile terminal 20B, the user arrives at the arrival point based on the current position of the user indicated by the activity amount auxiliary information acquired from the mobile terminal 20B. It is determined whether or not (step S208).

  When it is determined that the user has not arrived at the arrival point (NO in step S208), server 30 executes the process in step S206 again. In other words, the server 30 repeats the processes of steps S206 and S208 until the control unit 302 determines that the user has arrived at the arrival point (YES in step S208).

  If it is determined that the user has arrived at the arrival point (YES in step S208), the control unit 302 of the server 30 notifies the portable terminal 20B of a stop instruction to stop measuring the activity amount of the user in the activity meter 10. And the portable terminal 20B will stop acquisition of the active mass auxiliary information in the auxiliary information acquisition part 202, if a stop instruction | indication is received.

  As described above, when the user of the mobile terminal 20B walks from the departure point G to the departure point H via the point I as shown in FIG. 8, the walking route shown in FIG. It is an activity amount management table when walking, and refers to an activity amount management table associated with user information similar to the user information of the user of the mobile terminal 20, and provides the activity amount to the mobile terminal 20B. It will be.

May be collectively transmitted to the server 30 and the total amount of exercise related to walking may be acquired as a response. According to this configuration, even when the mobile terminal 20B walks along a walking route in which the communication state between the mobile terminal 20B and the server 30 is poor (cannot communicate), for example, the walking The server 30 can receive the amount of activity related to.

  When the activity amount at the intermediate point X registered in the activity amount management table is the activity amount from the departure point G to the intermediate point X, the activity amount extraction unit 323 is registered in the activity amount management table. The activity amount information indicating the activity amount at the intermediate point X may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 20B.

  On the other hand, when the activity amount at the intermediate point X registered in the activity amount management table is the activity amount from the intermediate point immediately before the intermediate point X to the intermediate point X, the activity amount extraction unit 323 displays the activity amount management table. The amount of activity from the starting point G to the intermediate point X registered in is extracted, and the total of the extracted amount of each activity is stored in the mobile terminal 20B as activity amount information indicating the amount of activity from the starting point G to the intermediate point X.

  Moreover, the server 30 transmits the activity amount information associated with the user attribute information similar to the user attribute information of the user of the mobile terminal 20B among the activity amount information acquired from each of the plurality of mobile terminals 20A to the mobile terminal 20B. providing. Therefore, when a user who does not own the activity meter 10 performs a walking route, the server 30 can provide a more accurate activity amount to the mobile terminal 20B owned by the user.

  Thereby, the user who does not own the activity meter 10 can know the exact activity amount in walking, similarly to the user who owns the activity meter 10.

  In the present embodiment, the activity amount extraction unit 323 extracts activity amount information associated with position information indicating points corresponding to each point on the walking route from the activity amount management table and transmits the activity amount information to the mobile terminal 20B. Although the configuration is adopted, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the activity amount management table manages activity amount information indicating the total amount of activity when moving the entire walking route, and adopts a configuration that calculates the amount of activity at each point on the walking route from the total amount of activity. You can also.

In this case, the amount of activity at the point X shown in FIG.
