## Abstract

An exercise information measurement apparatus, an exercise management method, and an exercise management program according to which exercise management for a user can be performed through comparison with another user. An exercise information measurement apparatus includes: an exercise pace information measurement unit that measures exercise pace information of a wearer; a communication unit for performing near-field wireless communication with another apparatus having an exercise pace information measurement unit; an other apparatus exercise pace information storage unit (information acquisition and storage units) acquiring other apparatus exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the other apparatus via the communication unit and stores it; and a management information output unit outputting management information for managing the exercise pace information based on the stored other apparatus exercise pace information and the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-6. (canceled)

### Claim 7

An exercise information measurement apparatus comprising:
an exercise pace information measurement unit configured to measure exercise pace information of a wearer;
a communication unit for performing near-field wireless communication with another apparatus having a said exercise pace information measurement unit;
an other apparatus exercise pace information storage unit configured to acquire other apparatus exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the other apparatus via the communication unit from the other apparatus and store it;
a management information output unit configured to output management information for managing an exercise pace of the wearer of the exercise information measurement apparatus based on the stored other apparatus exercise pace information and the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus; and
a display unit configured to display the management information,
wherein when the exercise pace information of the exercise information measurement apparatus is faster than the other apparatus exercise pace information, the management information output unit outputs, as the management information, information giving an instruction prompting the wearer of the exercise information measurement apparatus to reduce the exercise pace so that the exercise pace information of the exercise information measurement apparatus and the other apparatus exercise pace information are the same, and when the exercise pace information of the exercise information measurement apparatus is slower than the other apparatus exercise pace information, the management information output unit outputs, as the management information, information giving an instruction prompting the wearer of the exercise information measurement apparatus to increase the exercise pace so that the exercise pace information of the exercise information measurement apparatus and the other apparatus exercise pace information are the same.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The exercise information measurement apparatus according to claim 7, wherein there are a plurality of said other apparatuses, and the management information output unit sets, as the other apparatus exercise pace information, a piece of exercise pace information selected from a plurality of pieces of exercise pace information measured by exercise pace information measurement units of the other apparatuses, and outputs the management information based on the other apparatus exercise pace information and the exercise pace information of the exercise information measurement apparatus.

### Claim 9

An exercise management method using an exercise information measurement apparatus including an exercise pace information measurement unit configured to measure exercise pace information of a wearer and a communication unit for performing near-field wireless communication with another apparatus having a said exercise pace information measurement unit, the method comprising:
an other apparatus exercise pace information storage step of acquiring other apparatus exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the other apparatus via the communication unit from the other apparatus and storing it;
a management information output step of outputting management information for managing an exercise pace of the wearer of the exercise information measurement apparatus based on the stored other apparatus exercise pace information and the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus; and
a display step of displaying the management information on a display unit,
wherein in the display step, when the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus is faster than the other apparatus exercise pace information, an instruction prompting the wearer of the exercise information measurement apparatus to reduce the exercise pace so that the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus and the other apparatus exercise pace information are the same is displayed, and when the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus is slower than the other apparatus exercise pace information, an instruction prompting the wearer of the exercise information measurement apparatus to increase the exercise pace so that the exercise pace information measured by the exercise pace information measurement unit of the exercise information measurement apparatus and the other apparatus exercise pace information are the same is displayed.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

An exercise management program for causing a computer to execute the steps of claim 9.
