## Abstract

A wearable measurement apparatus includes: a wireless communication interface configured to execute wireless communication with an information terminal; a detector configured to detect a stationary state of the measurement apparatus; and a controller configured to cause the wireless communication interface to transmit an advertisement signal for receiving, from the information terminal, a connection request to switch to one-to-one connection communication between the measurement apparatus and the information terminal in response to the stationary state being detected by the detector.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wearable measurement apparatus comprising:
a wireless communication interface configured to execute wireless communication with an information terminal;
a detector configured to detect a stationary state of the measurement apparatus; and
a controller configured to cause the wireless communication interface to transmit an advertisement signal for receiving, from the information terminal, a connection request to switch to one-to-one connection communication between the measurement apparatus and the information terminal in response to the stationary state being detected by the detector.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The measurement apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the detector detects the stationary state due to stopping of an activity of a user wearing the measurement apparatus.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The measurement apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the detector detects the stationary state due to removing of the measurement apparatus of a user wearing the measurement apparatus.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The measurement apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
a measurer configured to measure an activity of a user wearing the measurement apparatus,
wherein the stationary state is a stationary state of the measurement apparatus after the activity.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The measurement apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein, in a case where there is no transmission data to the information terminal, the controller stops the transmission of the advertisement signal performed in response to the stationary state being detected.

### Claim 6

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program for a wearable measurement apparatus including a wireless communication interface configured to execute wireless communication with an information terminal and a detector configured to detect a stationary state of the measurement apparatus, the control program causing a processor of the measurement apparatus to execute a process comprising:
causing the wireless communication interface to transmit an advertisement signal for receiving, from the information terminal, a connection request to switch to one-to-one connection communication between the measurement apparatus and the information terminal in response to the stationary state being detected by the detector.
