Supporting system for walk

Abstract

There is provided a system capable of estimating biological data such as a pulse at the time of walking (exercise) with good reproducibility. Biological data at the time of walking is estimated indirectly by acquiring a relationship between biological data and exercise stress levels in body burden capacity acquiring means 21 prior to walking, acquiring an exercise stress level at the time of walking in means 22 for acquiring an exercise stress level at the time of walking, and relating the exercise stress level at the time of walking to the relationship between biological data and exercise stress levels in means 23 for estimating biological data at the time of walking. Further, a walking amount is also computed by use of the biological data at the time of walking in walking amount computing means 24. <??>Further, there is provided a walking pitch generator which generates a walking pitch capable of providing desired biological data such as a pulse rate at the time of walking. The desired biological data such as a pulse rate at the time of walking is obtained by acquiring a relationship between biological data and exercise stress levels in body burden capacity acquiring means 21 prior to walking, acquiring assumed biological data which represents biological data assumed to be desirably obtained at the time of walking in assumed biological data acquiring means 42, relating the assumed biological data to the relationship between biological data and exercise stress levels in assumed exercise stress level estimating means 43 so as to estimate an assumed exercise stress level which represents an exercise stress level assumed to be obtained at the time of walking, computing a walking speed based on the assumed exercise stress level and a body weight inputted from body weight inputting means 49 in walking speed computing means 44, and computing a walking pitch based on the walking speed and a body height inputted from body height inputting means 45 in walking pitch computing means 46.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a walking support system that performs support associated with biological data such as a pulse while walking. More specifically, it relates to a system for estimating biological data while walking, which is the aforementioned walking support system, and estimates biological data while walking. Still further, it relates to a walking frequency generator which is the aforementioned walking support system and which generates walking frequency to obtain desired biological data such as pulse rate while walking. Background technique [0002] As a support for associating biological data such as pulse while walking, it is currently a practice to measure biological data such as pulse that is changed by walking (exercise). In measuring biological data changed by walking (exercise) such as a pulse, a sensor capable of detecting a biological signal changed by exercise is directly attached to a human body at each measurement.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, a problem with making measurements with sensors that can detect biosignals that change through exercise is that because the sensors receive signals directly from the body, the results vary with where and how the sensors are attached and lack reproducibility

[0005] Meanwhile, there is a problem in a system that makes a walker walk with a sound or the like generated in synchronization with a preset walking pace in that when the walker walks at a preset pace, biological data such as a pulse varies according to the user's body load ( Physical strength) may exceed the expected value
