Abstract
A pace generating device which output a desirable pace signal automatically without stopping an exerciser from exercising and which can save consumption power. A walking detector outputs a walking signal. A walking pace calculator calculates a pace from a period of the detected walking signal and stores it. A pace comparing means compares a predetermined pace with a detected walking pace, and outputs a pace generating signal when the result of the above comparison between the detected walking pace and the predetermined pace is out of a predetermined range.
Claims14
A pace generating device comprising:
- pace data storing means for storing predetermined pace data and generating a predetermined pace data signal;
- walking detector means for detecting the motion of walking and outputting a detection signal;
- walking pace calculating means for calculating a walking pace based on the detection signal from the walking detector means and outputting a walking pace signal;
- walking pace storing means for storing the walking pace signal and outputting a walking pace display signal corresponding to the walking pace signal;
- pace comparing means for comparing the walking pace signal stored in the walking pace storing means with the predetermined pace data signal stored in the pace data storing means and outputting a pace generating instruction signal when the walking pace signal is out of a predetermined range;
- pace signal generating means for generating a pace signal from the predetermined pace data stored in the pace data storing means when the pace generating instruction signal is outputted from the pace comparing means;
- and pace outputting means for outputting a walking pace signal corresponding to the pace signal outputted by the pace signal generating means.
