Abstract

An action management apparatus includes a bodily information measurement unit that measures bodily information, a communication unit for performing near-field wireless communication with another apparatus having a function of measuring bodily information, a bodily information acquisition unit that acquires the bodily information measured by the other apparatus included in a group along with the action management apparatus via a communication unit, and an information output unit that, based on first bodily information measured by the bodily information measurement unit and second bodily information acquired by the bodily information acquisition unit, outputs management information for managing an action of a wearer of an apparatus belonging to the group.

and
in response to the first action management apparatus being set as the slave device, transmit the received maximum pulse rate of the first user from the first action management apparatus to the second action management apparatus via the first communication unit;
and
the second action management apparatus including:
a second communication unit configured to perform near-field wireless communication with the first action management apparatus;
and
a second controller configured to:
set the second action management apparatus as either one of a master device of a slave device;
received a maximum pulse rate of the second user;
in response to the second action management apparatus being set as the master device, and based on the received maximum pulse rate of the second user and the maximum pulse rate of the first user:
calculate respective exercise load percentages of the first and second users based on the maximum pulse rates of the first user and the second user, respectively;
calculate an average of the exercise load percentages of the first user and the second user;
