Abstract
An electronic device includes an acceleration sensor configured to detect an acceleration value, an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to detect an atmospheric pressure value, and a controller. The controller is configured to calculate the amount of activity or the number of steps based on the acceleration value detected by the acceleration sensor and the atmospheric pressure value detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor.
Claims28
An electronic device comprising:
- an acceleration sensor configured to detect an acceleration value;
- an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to detect an atmospheric pressure value;
- and
- a controller configured to calculate an amount of activity or a number of steps based on the acceleration value detected by the acceleration sensor and the atmospheric pressure value detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor.
A control method comprising:
- detecting an acceleration value using an acceleration sensor;
- detecting an atmospheric pressure value using an atmospheric pressure sensor;
- and
- calculating an amount of activity or a number of steps based on the detected acceleration value and the detected atmospheric pressure value.
A computer program product having computer instructions, stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, for enabling a computer of an electronic device executing the computer instructions to perform operations comprising:
- detecting an acceleration value using an acceleration sensor;
- detecting an atmospheric pressure value using an atmospheric pressure sensor;
- and
- calculating an amount of activity or a number of steps based on the detected acceleration value and the detected atmospheric pressure value.
A system comprising:
- an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to detect an atmospheric pressure value;
- an acceleration sensor configured to detect an acceleration value;
- and
- a controller configured to count a number of steps based on the acceleration value detected by the acceleration sensor, wherein
- the controller is configured to mitigate a condition for counting the number of steps when it is determined based on the atmospheric pressure value detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor that a variation in the atmospheric pressure value in relation to the number of steps is larger than a predetermined value.
