PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration to correctly grasp exercise volume of a measurement object person.SOLUTION: The measurement method includes a configuration to judge whether a measurement object person of the apparatus is walking or not, to measure a movement ratio in a specific direction of the measurement object person during the person is judged walking, and, based on the movement ratio of the measurement object person in the specific direction obtained during the measurement object person is judged walking, to judge whether an output of measurement information relating to movement of the measurement object person acquired during that duration is required or not.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】計測対象者の運動量を正確に把握することを可能にするための構成を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】装置の計測対象者の歩行の有無を判定し、計測対象者の歩行有りと判定されている間に計測対象者の特定方向の移動率を計測し、計測対象者の歩行有りと判定されている間に得られた計測対象者の特定方向の移動率に基づいてその間に取得された計測対象者の移動に係る計測情報の出力の要否を判定する構成を有する。【選択図】図1
