(JP8126632-A)      The device has an acceleration sensor (1) that detects acceleration of a living body as a result of motion. An operating unit calculates the amt. of motion based on the output of the acceleration sensor.    The calculated amt. of motion is displayed on an indicator (5). The calorie consumption within a predetermined time is estimated. The remaining calories after subtracting the estimated calorie consumption from a target calorie count is displayed on the indicator.    ADVANTAGE -   Enables living body to know if activity index or motion level is proper. Facilitates monitoring of transition in motion level.    (JP8131425-A)      The device consists of a sensor (1) that detects acceleration of living body. An operating unit calculates motion quantity of a living body based on the signal obtained from sensor.    Energy consumption is computed for every action which is classified according to calculated motion quantity. A calculation unit inputs the total energy consumption which is displayed on a display unit (5).    ADVANTAGE -   Notifies total calorie consumed in predetermined period.    (JP8308820-A)      The measuring unit includes an acceleration sensor detecting human body movement, and a circuit calculating an exercise amount based on the detection signal from the sensor. A display shows the calculated exercise amount (10).    The remaining target calorie value based on an estimated consumption calorie value in a prescribed period is calculated. This amount is then shown on the display. A target exercise amount that the human body is desiring to perform in a prescribed period can be calculated and shown on the display.    ADVANTAGE -   Enables person to judge more easily appropriateness of exercise taken and provide knowledge of necessary exercise amount.    (US5788655-A)      The measuring unit includes an acceleration sensor detecting human body movement, and a circuit calculating an exercise amount based on the detection signal from the sensor. A display shows the calculated exercise amount (10).    The remaining target calorie value based on an estimated consumption calorie value in a prescribed period is calculated. This amount is then shown on the display. A target exercise amount that the human body is desiring to perform in a prescribed period can be calculated and shown on the display.    ADVANTAGE -   Enables person to judge more easily appropriateness of exercise taken and provide knowledge of necessary exercise amount.    (US5989200-A)      The measuring unit includes an acceleration sensor detecting human body movement, and a circuit calculating an exercise amount based on the detection signal from the sensor. A display shows the calculated exercise amount (10).    The remaining target calorie value based on an estimated consumption calorie value in a prescribed period is calculated. This amount is then shown on the display. A target exercise amount that the human body is desiring to perform in a prescribed period can be calculated and shown on the display.    ADVANTAGE -   Enables person to judge more easily appropriateness of exercise taken and provide knowledge of necessary exercise amount.
